The price is fair to the portion of the food. The curry is very subtle in flavor but not bland. The potato croquettes were crunchy but also so soft like potato pillows. Everyone in our group love their dish. You can also order on the QR code so it’s very convenient. It’s a pretty small place and there was a line at 1pm. The menu for lunch and dinner is different so if you want ramen you want the dinner menu
Great delicious Japanese restaurant! Get there early as a line already started to form outside a few minutes before the place was even open. The staff is very friendly. When were there, they had us scan qr code and for the menu and you order the food on your phone. An interesting system, but it works and the food comes out fast. The ramen was delicious and big enough to share which is what we did. I recommend potato croquettes and the cucumber salad as well. The mackerel was the only dish we didn’t love. Overall we had a great experience at this establishment and definitely look forward to coming back soon!Scores (out of 5):Food: 5Atmosphere:4Service:5Price/Value:4Score: 18/20⭐️4.5
I went during lunchtime. The interior is very minimalist which I really like. They have a QR code on the table for the menu. They do not serve ramen during lunch. I ordered the fried chicken tender curry. Wait time was reasonable and the quality of the food was immaculate! There was so much chicken! Cooked well and flavorful. The curry had just the right amount of spice and a little sweetness to it which I like. The waiter was very attentive and nice.
Virtually impossible to eat here without a stroke of luck. Tried on three separate nights to go here for dinner. They have some bizzare policies here. specifically they are as follows.1. If you show up and the 4 (yes they have only 4 tables and one small counter that seats about 6) tables are full. You can wait for a table to open up. However, you cannot put your name down and wait outside. You MUST stay inside the small building and hover behind people eating.2. They do not allow you to call ahead either for a reservation or to hold a table / add name to a list. And if the staff can be bothered to answer the phone when you call will always tell you there is space available, even if there is not.3. You cannot order takeout. As they have no outdoor seating and few places to sit we decided on our third attempt to just order it to go as there seemed to be no way to actually eat at this restaurant without a stroke of luck. However they are strictly dine in. I asked why they had this policy and they told me "because our Ramen does not taste the way we want it when it's To go". Fine, I did not want the Ramen I wanted the tonkatsu curry. Still they insisted it was dine in only.I really wish I could have tried to food to review it based on that. I was simply unable to get my hands on it. I suggest instead going to Nagomi. They have more than 4 tables, take to go orders, and will reserve a table. And they are willing to work with you should you have allergies. None of which Magokoro will do.
Really good tonkotsu ramen, but not as authentic as I prefer. The broth was full of flavor, and a bit peppery. My wife and daughter got regular tonkotsu ramen. I ordered “extra spicy” expecting extra garlic, and I was surprised to find red pepper in the paste on top of my ramen. Overall, I liked the full flavor and spicy kick, but it was not authentic to my experiences eating tonkotsu ramen in Japan. The egg was perfectly done. Finally, this may seem picky to some, but I was disappointed to get egg noodles. They tasted fine, but they were egg noodles, not at all the kind of noodles I would ever expect in tonkotsu ramen in Japan. I wish they had offered a choice of noodles. I would go here again for the super rich flavor, but I would stick to Naruto across from UNM (Naruto, definitely NOT Oh Ramen!) when I want more authentic tonkotsu ramen and a more Japanese ramen bar experience.
Delicious!! We spent 2 years in Japan and this is as close as you’ll get to amazing ramen and tonkatsu curry. Customer service is top notch as well! Definitely one of my favorite places now ❤️
my first time here...I'll be back for sure. Delicious!
This place is small. Get here early if you want a seat right away otherwise be ready to wait especially if your group is bigger than 2 people.Their Spicy Tonkotsu has a great flavor. I'm willing to go on the record and say they have the best flavor. I've tried other ramen restaurants and they don't compare.I really love how they utilize their QR code menu and update it as soon as they run out of items.
Magokoro is a gem! All of the food at Magokoro is exceptionally delicious. Although they don't have carry out options for dinner, I have always felt comfortable eating there by myself. They have nice seating available for 1 diner. The staff are very friendly and the atmosphere is nice. I wish I lived in Albuquerque so I could eat here more often.
My partner and I ordered the Tonkatsu and Chicken Karaage curries :) service was friendly and attentive, but inside seating is a little crowded. The food was delicious, albeit the curry-rice-meat proportions could use some adjustments, with more rice and curry to pair with the amount of meat :) overall good experience, will definitely be coming back to try more items on the menu!
