Matsumoto Craft Ramen is a japanese in Cary, North Carolina. It is listed at 525 New Waverly Pl Ste 103, Cary, NC 27518, which places it among the local businesses of Cary that residents and visitors turn to when they need this kind of service close by.

Portion sizes and pricing swing widely across this group, from a $10 lunch bowl to a multi-course tasting menu at an upscale sushi counter, so checking recent reviews and photos is more useful than the price range alone. In Cary, dinner reservations for popular izakaya, hot pot and Korean BBQ spots fill up on Friday and Saturday nights, so booking ahead or arriving at opening is worth it. Many restaurants across North Carolina run daily lunch specials on weekdays that are not listed on the dinner menu, so it is worth asking. Halal, vegetarian and gluten-free options vary a lot by kitchen; call ahead if you have a dietary restriction rather than assuming the menu will note it.

Hours are published for 6 days a week. On most of those days it is open 11 am–2:30 pm. Note that it does not open on Monday. Hours in the United States do change around federal holidays and long weekends, so a quick call before a special trip is sensible. You can reach Matsumoto Craft Ramen at (919) 977-4037; calling is usually the quickest way to ask about availability, prices or directions. More information is available on its website, matsumotocraftramen.com.

If I could give them 100 stars I would. They were so so kind, the food was delicious and filling my children enjoyed the kids meal options. Such a great experience we will definitely be back!

Today was our first day here. Maya is so welcoming and helpful with the menu options. We ordered the teriyaki brussels sprouts for an appetizer. Simply amazing! We tried the Chicken Ramen in a delicious creamy broth. Very satisfying portion. We tried the Chicken Karaage Curry with rice. Now my new favorite dish! The curry is the perfect temperature, very flavorful with potato and carrots. The Karaage fried chicken pieces were crispy and juicy, especially paired well with the curry. For dessert, we tried the milk tea Swiss roll cakes and the old fashioned Swiss roll cakes. Light dessert that was a perfect treat on a hot day. Loved the experience overall. We are definitely coming back!

I am a self proclaimed ramen nerd and snob. And I will say this shop is exceptional. I had to get over the quick serve style of dining, but once you dive into a bowl and truly experience the care and artistry of what they are doing here, you will appreciate this as much as I do. I ordered the spicy tonkotsu pork broth ramen and was puzzled at why the pork was layered up the sides of the bowl. Usually they are laid on top of the noodles. One bite of the chasu and it became obvious, it was some of the most delicate and tender chasu I've experienced in a ramen bowl. Putting it into the broth may have over cooked it. The spice level was absolutely perfect, warms the chest but doesn't burn your tongue, the wood ear mushrooms and scallions were julliened thinly and in high supply, so that nearly every bite could have this luscious combo. The star of the bowl were the noodles (amazing flavor and chew on it..some of the best I've ever had) and the pork broth so creamy and rich. There is hours and hours of preparation behind this. Truly outstanding, bravo!

The food was amazing with authentic Japanese flavors Service was fast and clean. Atmosphere was warm and welcoming. If you want some great Japanese food without having to go to Japan this place is it!

I drove out here for the ratings. The spicy tonkotsu ramen I got was worth it. There was only half a marinated egg, which I felt was cheap. The broth was very flavourful and the texture of the corn and rest of the soup held for the whole meal giving a nice crunch even towards the end. The service was top notch. Constantly refilled my water, cleaned up my garbage as I made it. I want a fan of having to order at the counter instead of ordering at the table. But it was that kind of place. The kitsch around the restaurant was interesting but not my thing. I found it hard to find the place even though it was right in front of me. It had a different name. See the pictures.
