Red Light Ramen Bar

A fantastic experience. Half of town was shut down due to 70cm of snow but these guys were open. We had a table for 2 right by a wood fire. The group beside us had skied and snowboarder down from uphill which is just so fun. We had Raman, I had the pork with spiralized zucchini for noodles. Zucchini isn't a perfect substitute but I though I'd try it instead of rice noodles. My wife had the half pork broth, half yam broth with wheat noodles and it was delicious. The atmosphere was cozy and relaxed. The staff, very friendly and knew the product well. They have a very good drink selection, wonderful cocktails and good beer selection. The bathroom is clean. We enjoyed the music they played. They had good covid protocols. I've only been once but I will go again on future visits to Nelson.

Red Light Ramen was a positive experience. The staff were friendly, the vibes inside were fun and casual, but ultimately the product left me feeling a little underwhelmed. The Tan Tan (pork) broth was my main contention point; it didn't taste like a big enough step up from something that could be created at home.. Seemed like it was missing a bit of the umami-driven healing that an excellent bowl of ramen should deliver. The ajitsuke tamago (egg) was great, and the pork tasted very nice, I just wished there was a little more of it for $17.

My first experience here or any ramen restaurant for that matter. Let me tell you.. AMAZING!!! The staff was very welcoming and the food was amazing. It seemed like there were 2 servers working and it was quite busy when we went and they did an amazing job! No one was left waiting or anything. Amazing team effort and very relaxing environment. I felt very at home and was very satisfied with everything. Prices were reasonable and portions were very generous!! I cannot say enough good things about this place. Thank you thank you thank you!! -Lauren and Rayelin from Fernie BC.

I had the tantan Pork Ramen and it did not disappoint. It held up well taking it back to the hotel, still quite hot and delicious. I'm in between on the style of takeout vessel, it's a tall thin container, which makes it a little harder to choose your next bite. But overall great experience here, would go back again.
