We love ramen and super wanted to love this place, but we thought it was only okay. The ramen was not nearly flavorful enough for us. Maybe we didn’t get the right one? The server wasn’t much help when we asked for recommendations. The short ribs were pretty decent, but small amount for the price. The ambiance was cool, but it felt kind of odd since we weren’t greeted for a minute or two, so I’d say the service was just okay.

The tonkotsu was amazing! I can’t say enough how nice the quality of the food and decor was. They had real flowers in the centerpieces on each table! You don’t see that anywhere else anymore!

Wow! Ramen Belly is one of those hidden gems that becomes a destination location. Judging from the many tables filled with family and friends, it’s a popular place to eat. Nice atmosphere. I met the owner, who was really friendly. It’s always a good sign when the owner is present and stting a good example for employees. I ordered a ‘tall’ can of Dark Morello Cherry & Pomegranate sparkling water, S. Pellegrino brand. Delicious. They have some other rare flavors as well. Will definitely return with the family for a full dinner.

It’s an amazing place. All the staff is very friendly, letting you order how you’d like. The noodles are delicious. I’m getting the ramen next time. If you like real Japanese ramen, you can’t do better anywhere in Iowa.

We have had this location on our “must try” list for a while and finally got the chance to go. We love ramen and this place did not disappoint! The ramen was super tasty and had so many noodles, but our favorite dish was the garlic ginger chicken. The sauce and rice were so delicious and the chicken was cooked perfectly. Their sweet pickles are fantastic as well. Pork pot stickers were some of the best I’ve had! We can’t wait to go back and try other menu items. The pricing is very inexpensive as well. We got a lot of food for what we spent!

We have never been here and was in town for doctors appointments. Thought we should try. Oh my goodness we are definitely hooked and will be back for sure. The chicken teriyaki bowl was real good. 20 stars plus. We ordered at the kiosk for to go order since we had our dogs. Friendly and fast service as they walked us through ordering and answered all questions we had.
