Went yesterday for my birthday. I can’t lie and say I didn’t wanna come JUST for the cat server robot, because I did. It was super cute seeing him bring food to tables and made it all worth on its own. The staff were super nice and very patient with our group of 9, half of them being late. The food was AMAZING! Super good!!! The pink lemonade was the bomb. It was definitely worth the 2 HOUR drive we took to go. Can’t wait to go again!

So immediately charmed by this place. the atmosphere is so good. The murals on the walls, the pictures, the action figures. It's all great. They have a robot cat server that brings the food (though my food was just brought out by the human waitress). My waitress was extremely observant and attentive in a good way. I got the tonkatsu ramen and a Thai milk tea and both items were outstanding. The ramen is probably one the best I've had in the city (the only potential rival is Cafe Mochiko) the speed at which they brought out the food was absolutely incredible. it took maybe 5 minutes. Can't wait to come back and try the fried chicken next time!

Stopped by Rokaru Ramen for lunch today and it was my first time there. I ordered the Shoyu Ramen and thought it was absolutely delicious. I thought the portion size was just a tad smaller than other ramen restuarants I have been to in the Cincinnati area, but flavor wise, Rokaru is probably my new favorite. Service was great too! I sat down and ordered within a couple of minutes and my food was out in less than 5 minutes. I've heard about the kitty robot that brings your food out to you. I saw it parked in the corner of the restaurant...it was not being utilized this afternoon but I think it's a cute idea to make one's experience more fun. The only waitress working was friendly and efficient. I probably only spent 20-25 minutes in the restaurant total so it's great for those that need a quick lunch. They have a few different types of ramen or you can create your own. There are also rice dishes and several different types of appetizers. Blue Ash is kinda out of the way for me but I'll definitely be back when I'm in the area!

At first I was concern about the portion size for $17(5 small cubes of tofu and a tbsp of each veggie), I ordered vegetable ramen with bean sprout and egg added. After my first bite i disregarded the portion sizes the money was well worth it. The best ramen I had so far definitely set my standards high. The broth was amazing. The only issue I had was the energy was off when I decided to add to my order. The lady greeted other customers in the middle of me talking to her

I’m a Ramen fanatic and try to hit up all the noodle houses. Rokaru did not disappoint. A total gem in Blue Ash. Went in at noon on a rainy Friday and wasn’t busy at all. I had a make your own veggie tofu Ramen bowl that was fantastic. The noodles were perfect as was the broth. The menu isn’t extensive, but why would you want something other than ramen?? 10/10 would recommend.

The vending machines and delivery robot provide a unique experience and a modern Tokyo feel. Additionally, the TV provides a feel food experience as it plays light hearted videos on a loop. The gyoza, unagi don, and curry katsu were all good. In fact the unagi don exceeded expectations. The major letdown lies with the ramen, which is part of the business name. Excellent concept - similar to that of Ichiran in Japan - where you customize your ramen; however, it fails in the execution, as many menu items are unavailable. The char siu is dry and flavorless... most likely the worst I have had. The tamago is slightly overcooked, preventing the yolk from providing the desired creaminess to the broth. I would be willing to return if the menu items were available and the quality of the char siu was greatly improved.
