“This little restaurant is a very Quaint what many may call "hoke in the wall" but I must say it's a Canyon in the Middle of Edgewater! This is an amazing experience in the simplest of foods and it was such a pleasure to visit. The Ramen Noodles in my humble opinion are the best I've ever had and so fresh it just changes the experience altogether and I can no longer have Ramen with instant or dried noodles. Black Beard has changed my mind on Ramen and to such a great basis of flavor. The broth has got to be the best I've ever had and just need to say that the Black Bear Tonkotsu is divine and a must try. We also had the Chonsu rice bowl with the best flavor ever and a dish I will be having each and every time I visit so to say the least this will not be my only visit as I will be enjoying Ranen for many more yrs to come.”
— The Biblical Entrepreneur“I tried the Tonkotsu Blackbeard Ramen and WOW — this place instantly became a favorite. The broth was incredibly rich, flavorful, and perfectly balanced… honestly one of the best tonkotsu broths I’ve had anywhere. The noodles were cooked perfectly, and every topping tasted fresh and intentional. It’s a cozy, small spot with a warm vibe, and even better — they have parking, which is a huge plus in this area. The service was fast and friendly, and you can tell they really take pride in what they serve.”
— Layla Perdomo“This place was pretty good. We are traveling and wanted to get some ramen and this is a close one to the shop we have back in our home town. At first, the “coldness” of the server threw us off but at the end of it we actually liked the server wasn’t doing the “fake-nice customer service” stuff like usual. It was a new experience that we ended up enjoying. The food was good but unfortunately for my partner, the ramen doesn’t come with an egg already so you have to order it and we didn’t realize until after. Food was tasty and good portion for a smaller person with the regular size and a good portion for a person who can eat a little more getting the larger size. The gyoza on the other hand was so-so. Thank you!”
— Georgi Lanea“Blackbeard Ramen is a good local ramen place. They have a large parking lot so you don’t have to street park. The tofu bao was very delicious.”
— Leslie DiazEggs are available as an add-on and must be ordered separately. Many customers recommend adding the seasoned egg for the complete experience.
