Nori Ramen House in Newcastle upon Tyne

Excellent broth and perfectly textured noodles. Cozy and welcomed warmly by staff

Seen Nori on instagram and have wanted to try the ramen for a while, i can say it didn't disappoint properly the best ramen I've had in newcastle. We got the duck and vegetable gyozas, tempura prawns and the signature tonkotsu ramen

Very nice Tonkotsu, the char sui pork is the best iv had, amazing flavour

Nice place for a quick bite. Had the prawn katsu curry which did taste pretty identical to katsu curries that I've had in Asia. Good range of things on the menu and not too pricey.

Really friendly service and delicious ramen!!!

Came here on a recommendation of a friend and it did not disappoint! The food was fabulous and the service very warm and friendly, already excited to return!

Amazing food and unreal service, especially from Jamelle. Great bloke👍🏼

This ramen is the best. Try it 😋

Tonkutso signature ramen is amazing!

Delicious ramen and a great lunch deal

One of THE places to go for good quality, affordable ramen in NCL. Delicious food, relaxed atmosphere, and always a warm and prompt service! The noodles are bouncy and chewy, soup is so flavourful and the sides are worth the money too, especially the yakitori. 100% recommend and well worth visiting

The tonkotsu ramen was so tastyy and the staff were all so lovely!! What a wonderful restaurant 😄

Nice ramen, probably best in town.

I'm very pleased with the quality of the way they delivered their services to all their customers plus Mel is the best

Great food, great service, great restaurant!

Very good food. We enjoyed it very much. The food was very fresh and flavorful.

Large party of 8, with adults and children all brilliantly catered for. Food was Fab and service very warm and welcoming.

Came across this place by the off chance and we're glad we did. Front of house was welcoming and showed us to our table, it's a nice little restaurant, whilst looking at the menu they came over with a specials board, we chose from the board starter and main. Both were full of flavour with the meat very tender. Now down to the big question would I go back? It's a big YES

Came here on Sunday for dinner with my friend and it’s always great going here, the food is quality! Jamelle was a great host, really attentive and he was a really genuine guy and great to chat to - definitely going to be coming back in the future!

Lovely place. We always enjoy visiting as they have a yummy selection of ramen but also amazing service

Friendly staff, neat and clean; I enjoyed the food here 😊

Comfortable place for dining. Clean and tidy. The staff girl working there is very polite and considerate. I’ve got a signature noodle and a glass of tap water. £12.xx reasonable prices isn’t it? Good to enjoy a bunch with friends here.

Food is okays lacks depth of flavour. Service very good

Love this place, been twice now and definitely going back, ❤️👌🏼

Very average ramen - broth particularly disappointing.

Really good. Excellent food and friendly service.

Fantastic food, delicious. Lovely atmosphere and staff are great. Everything was super quick. Highly recommend. I had the katsu chicken with rice.

Well worth a visit. While the atmosphere can be a little cold, the food and staff are great. Amazing lunchtime options for a very reasonable price.

The place is tiny but had a lovely cosy feel, the staff are friendly and helpful and the quality of the food is excellent. We had the chicken katsu and prawn katsu curry. They are well priced, curry is more sweet than spicy so if that's your preference this is a good spot for that.

Overall very disappointing. The staff were bone idle, the food was subpar, and they add hidden fees to the bill. Avoid this place.

Great ramen and delicious krispy chicken :)

The two large slices of pork was lovely. The signature tonkotsu broth was not as thick as I'd like. Wakame salad and takoyaki is nice.

i had veg gyoza (very nice), chicken yakitori (delicious! The sauce it was marinated in was amazing!) and tempura (which was very crisp and delicious!). loved the sauce that came with all dishes and would 100% be coming back here and sitting in! Would recommend!

Not anything ground breaking but tasty and cheap. Staff were really friendly, food was nice and the lunchtime deal was really reasonable

The inside of the store is clean and the service is good, but the food isn't very tasty. I ate teriyaki chicken, ramen, and tempura, and they were all disappointing. The teriyaki chicken had a bad sauce, the tempura had strange ingredients and a bad sauce, and the ramen soup had a bad taste and the noodles tasted like flour.

This restaurant is better than I thought. The prices are affordable and the service is good. The sushi is quite delicious (although the stuffing is a bit creative/unconventional, never had chicken sushi rolls until now), and the ramen is very authentic (although the pork is way too big but the soup, the noodles, the egg, etc are tasty), and the church skewers are amazingly delicious! Best Japanese chicken skewers I ever had in Newcastle so far. I also really like the style of this place. The interior designs are quite nice. I will come back here in the future. I would love to try the mango shrimp sushi which seems amazing next time and I will probably come back to spot more photos in the future.

fast efficient service, and food was great

Lovely food, atmosphere, and setting. Very friendly staff.

I would avoid. Our two poke boxes were lacking in flavour, freshness, and value for money.

AVOID! 😡.. Nearly £9 for 4 takoyaki (not cheap), yet 2 of the 4 takoyaki is empty flour with no octopus filliin it. Told the waiteress that the takoyaki is missing the octopus filling. Waitress pretends to be rushing to get the bill and left with no replacement or even apologies... 😡 Otherwisd noodle is so so only... this is an upsetting evening for me and missus

Great friendly staff and service. Food delicious and authentic Great value Will return and highly recommend

The presentation was great as well as the atmosphere, and the staff were helpful. The food was very well presented. We got the signature pork and seafood ramen and they both tasted like they'd been made from the same broth and neither were spicy despite us ordering so. It was fairly bland in that regards but wasn't not enjoyable so.

Delicious hot, fresh food, and really friendly fast service. Will definitely be back! :)

The chicken katsu curry ramen was flavourful and lovely

Lovely staff. Always very nice, food Is fantastic. Love coming here.

Food was okay, service was great! Ordered tonkotsu ramen, pork was tasty but the soup base was bland. I was going to order with chilli oil, but I was expecting this to be on the table. From other Japanese restaurant experiences, usually chilli oil, garlic, ginger or wasabi is available on the table to add to dishes, but only Soy sauce was available. So maybe this dish is more flavourful with the chilli oil? Takoyaki was nice! Tons of sauce and benito flakes on top. £3 corkage charge if you bring your own bottle of wine. £1.50 if you bring beer/cider. Polite service start to finish.

Great food and relaxed atmosphere at the nori restaurant. Bring your own alcohol sir £3 per bottle corkage

Wonderful hosts, so very personable. The food was stunning and the atmosphere delightful. Thank you so much!

Wonderful service and exceptional food and drink choices.

Great dinner, we thoroughly enjoyed our food. We had to wait 15minutes to go to our booked table, but the staff was very gentle to take our orders so they came straight away when we were able to sat. We had octopus balls,tempura and ramen soups. All delicious 😋

Our very first time here - lovely food and lovely staff! We had delicious Ramen and Sushi, and warm cups of Green Tea. *The lunch and early evening deals make the meals more worth it 😃 🌽 Vegetable Tempura 🍜 Miso Hell Ramen (Vegetarian) 🍣 Tropical Roll (we requested for Salmon instead of prawn) Glad to experience another Ramen shop around Newcastle 😃😃

Good scran and good customer service. Been here a couple times and they haven’t disappointed. Chicken katsu ramen was flavoursome and the sushi was one of the best sushi I had in a while! The staff are all smiles every time i walk in. Highly recommend :)

We've been a few times as a family, and I cannot fault it - amazing service, wonderful ramen - full of flavour and so filling. It's a delight having a healthy, delicious and welcoming place so close to home.

Freshly cooked ingredients, polite service and good location but tricky parking for non permit holders

Surprise find. Casual. Cosy. Good tonkatsu and tempura

Stopped in for a quick solo meal on a Friday evening. They were happy to serve me and their simple but excellent menu gives you enough choice but reassurance that all the food is as fresh as can be. Cooked to order and served quickly, the most delicious Ramen (Shio in Miso) I have ever had. Very friendly staff, fantastic prices and a good location. Look no further for a great place to eat.

Looked for a tasty and healthy restaurant during our stay In Newcastle. The restaurant is approx 3.5km from the centre and we walked which took about 45mins. We’d built up an appetite for their tempura - which was amazing. I ordered the salmon teriyaki- this comes with freshly prepared and steamed veggies cooked perfectly with a slight crunch. The salmon and the rice, again cooked perfectly. The restaurant is BYOB with a £3 corkage on wine. There is a Tesco express opposite or a Little Waitrose around the corner which had a great selection of beers, wine or sparkling ready chilled. Overall, my wife and I had amazing food here. The service was really friendly and quick. Our bill - including the wine we bought from Waitrose - was £60 plus tip. I’d thoroughly recommend a visit to Nori Ramen House.

Amazing food! Also do BYO which is always a winner!

It's okay, nothing spectacular. I ordered the Tonkatsu ramen (which seemed to be what they're most proud of - it has a massive star next to it on the menu). The ramen itself was generally flavourless without the chilli oil (so make sure you ask for the chilli oil!), and the strips of pork belly were limp, squishy, and flavourless strips. And there was some scum from the broth (though not enough to affect things too much), it was bit iffy though. The service was really good, and the vibe of the interior was very nice and generally pleasant. Shame the food wasn't that great. I wouldn't really recommend it, unfortunately

Delicious authentic ramen. Gyoza and tempura especially delish! Wakami salad best ever.

Sorry folks but this is nothing like authentic ramen. The broth is watery and lacking in any depth, noodles are over cooked and the accompanying vegetables are poorly executed. Another mediocre bandwagon enterprise.

Finally a good ramen in Newcastle. Excellent soup, proper ingredients and delicious noodles. Remind me the taste of real Japanese flavor.

Amazing staff and service! The takoyaki, tempura and chicken skewers was definitely flavoursome and their ramen is definitely the best comfort food you can have. Would definitely go back again and again.

Japanese approved Char siu is delicious! delicious!

This restaurant situated in jesmond is very familiar. We were lucky as it was a nice table for us. The menu is very simple and easy to read so it didn't take long to read and decided want we fancy. The service was very good, our waitress did a very good job smiling and serving us nicely. The food was yummy and also the prices, for three main courses and tap water we payed £33 Next time we visit this area I am sure we can stop here again.

Awesome! Highly recommended!😋😋😋 I really enjoyed the food and I would suggest bringing a friend or family members along to share the delicious experience. Best Japanese Ramen in Newcastle.👍💪💪💪

Very nice little restaurant would fully recommend. We had tonkatsu ramen and vegetable gyoza. Both delicious. Staff were very friendly and helpful.

I really liked the interior decor, it gives a warm and cozy ambience. The signature ramen was quite good as the pork is super tender though the broth was not as rich as expected. Nevertheless a great budget meal overall, will come back again!

Delicious meal, friendly staff, will definitely go back

Great Ramen hous in the centre of vibrant Jesmond very good 👍

Excellent service and ramen. Friendly atmosphere and BYOB . Could not ask for more!

Great service & atmosphere. Side dishes were delicious; agadashi tofu, tempura prawns & wakame salad. The seafood ramen broth was delicious but I found the noodles were a bit stuck together & the seafood was overcooked. My partner had the pork ramen & said her noodles were perfect & the whole dish was delicious. We would come back here again.

Absolutely amazing! We had dinner here and are so glad to have a great ramen house in Newcastle now! Starters were freshly made and the sushi was delicious! We then had the tonkotsu ramen which was outstanding! Best thing I’ve had to eat in Newcastle for ages! 100% coming back!

This is my second visit to the Ramen house. It's not cheap but the service is great, the food delicious. My Salmon Teriyaki was great and was served with loads a crisp beautifully cooked veg and plenty of rice. Dumplings good value too.

I’ve been waiting to go to Nori Ramen House since it opened and finally got to experience it last night. Staff were all super friendly and food was amazing!! I had the signature Tonkotsu ramen and it was so delicious. I 100% will be returning for more!

Great atmosphere, lovely staff. Only one veggie option available but no problem as it was delicious. Wish it was spicier but great ramen regardless

Delicious food, best vegetable tempura I have had in a while not greasy at all, good price and service, point can’t wait to go back.

Outstanding food & delicious - staff are first class - immaculate, uncluttered, very reasonable prices - A MUST VISIT

Great place and fabulous service. Noodles a little too salty for my tastes but still very good.

The food was good but very overpriced

Fantastic Japanese Ramen house. Good portion sizes

Best Ramen I’ve had in Newcastle. A breath of fresh air in Jesmond. Friendly service unpretentious food and decor at reasonable prices. Highly recommended

Takoyaki was great. Ramen was good but not the best. Good service and ambience otherwise

It is in Jesmond,. Good Japanese food great location.

Wasnt able to take picture of the food, but the ramen tasted so good and very authentic. Will surely reco the place to my friends! :)

Delicious lunch at Nori Ramen House today in Jesmond. Vegetable gyoza and chicken thigh teriyaki with rice and veggies for me and a Kanji Sushi Roll for my wife who was less hungry. Nice chilled atmosphere and good attentive service from our waitress who was lovely and very polite. Would highly recommend a visit - we will be back!

The ramen was so tasty and the green tea was one of the best we've ever had. The decor really took us back to our time in Japan. The staff were very friendly too.

Newly opened ramen restaurant 3 weeks ago. Ramen soup is home made and well cooked. Char siu pork is also home made and very nice. One disappointment was that the noodle was over cooked losing texture. The owner is acknowledged about noodle issue. Thus I expect it would be better. Surely, one of the best ramen restaurants in Newcastle from the standpoint of Japanese. A newly opened ramen shop in Jesmond. The homemade soup has a clean pork bone flavor with no odor. The char siew is also homemade and the quantity is sufficient. The only disappointing thing was that the noodles were overcooked and had lost their firmness. Rated 4 points, including the expectation that it will improve in the future.

Didn’t have a great experience here, I was expecting great ramen as there seemed to be a lot of anticipation but was quite disappointed with what I was served. The noodles were over cooked and mush, the soy sauce egg was clearly not marinated for long and only had a tiny bit of soy sauce flavour, the broth was quite plain as well, possibly watered down a bit. The staff were nice enough hence why this gets a 2 star instead of 1

Excellent service and lovely food, definitely worth a visit.

Best ramen I had outside of Japan!

The best ramen I have ever had, and even better customer service. Definitely recommend giving them a visit! We will be coming back soon, thanks again!

Positives: the service here is good and the decor is nice and bright. Negatives: the tonkotsu ramen I had was quite bland. It didn’t have the kind of depth of flavour you would expect from a tonkotsu ramen. The noodles were also over cooked. The egg was hard boiled and not soft. I tried my husband’s vegan ramen as well and it was the same. No real depth of flavour but there was spice to it. The noodles in that bowl were also over cooked. My first impression of Nori wasn’t the best but maybe their rice bowls or starters are better than their ramen??

Positives: Duck gyoza and chicken karrage for starts were excellent. Service was attentive and friendly. Negatives: Ramen was disappointing, tonkotsu lacked depth of flavour/ seasoning and the “soft boiled egg” was hard boiled (grey round the yolk.) They’d also sold out of a number or starters by the time we arrived just after 7pm. Maybe they’re just teething issues but was hoping for better.

Fresh japanese food, which is so tasty and flavourful it'll you have drinking from your bowl The staff are kind and attentive. The service is good and the food is fresh!!

The ramen itself was pretty average, however the gyoza we had for our starter was very lovely indeed. Service was excellent & good prices!

Amazing ramen, amazing service and you can bring your own wine!!!

Excellent service, excellent ramen. Will definitely be back when I’m in Jesmond.
