"We ordered the first two ramens on the menu, one with pork broth and the other with brown chicken broth. Both are surprisingly good!! Very rich flavor, pretty genuine, yummy. Service is good too. It’s still during the Christmas holiday season, and the waitress told us she was the only waitress here today, so the wait for ordering and the food was a bit long…. But anyway, still a place I would recommend for those who are finding somewhere to dine in on church street."

"20 JAN 26 If you are anywhere near Burlington, Gaku Ramen is an absolute must-visit. The food is nothing short of amazing. Every bowl of ramen is rich, flavorful, and clearly crafted with care, from the perfectly cooked noodles to the deeply satisfying broths and thoughtfully balanced toppings. Each bite feels comforting and exciting at the same time. What truly elevates Gaku Ramen, though, is the phenomenal staff and service. From the moment you walk in, you are greeted with genuine warmth and enthusiasm. The team is attentive, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about what they do. They make you feel welcome, taken care of, and excited about your meal, without ever feeling rushed. Gaku Ramen delivers not just outstanding food, but a complete dining experience. Incredible flavors, a welcoming atmosphere, and top-tier service make this spot a standout in Burlington. I cannot recommend it highly enough and will absolutely be back!! Staff: Kat (amazing!!) Food ordered: Tonkotsu Ramen Shoyu Ramen Bao Buns (tofu & pork)"

"I am a freshman BHS student, and this is week 2 of my 🍴Student Eateries Series🍴 Today I am craving some Ramen since my throat is sore, and Gaku Ramen was the perfect choice. I ordered a Tonkotsu Ramen, and added a soft boiled egg. It may be my opinion, but I think they should add in a boiled egg in the ramen for free, because that’s what most ramen restaurants I visited do. The flavor was quite good, a little umami flavor, and not sweet, which means it’s a little authentic. However, the broth could be hotter, like close to boiling hot. The atmosphere was great. A TV displaying the shaggy cartoon, and calm music! The service was pretty good, but when I paid, I didn’t receive the 5 cents change. I DIDN’T MIND THIS AT ALL, but if the waiter actually cared enough to give the 5 cents, the service would’ve been 5 stars. Overall, great atmosphere, a little flawed in service and food, but this restaurant is good overall!"

"So I’ve come to this establishment twice. The first time my husband and myself (I was 8 months pregnant) was seated outside and in the sun. We kept having waiters walk by and say that someone would be over soon. About 30 minutes went by and no one came or even took our order for drinks. Fast forward to today we decided to give it another chance and came again with our daughter. Bathrooms were disgusting. It took over an hour to get our food and the ramen was mid at best. It was mostly filled with cabbage. If you’re considering stopping here just skip it."

"The fried rice was flavorful but a bit too salty. The salmon was just average and came in a small portion. The service was also slow."
