    Volcano roll and Playboy roll.
    Doug H.

    Celebrated a late birthday lunch for my son. He chose Pho Shiki in Columbus, Indiana. We have been there several times and agreed to his selection. I almost always get the Rare beef Pho as my entree. It remains one of my favorites right behind Number 1 Eggroll in Beech Grove, Indiana. The ingredients are always the freshest possible. We had two appetizers and two sushi rolls. The appetizers and entrees were very satisfying and delicious. The sushi is something I would not order again. Not bad but presentation was sloppy and taste was average. The entrees were all sensational. Service was awkward. The waitress that started with us and got our drinks was allowed to leave early. And it took a lapse in time before the person who allowed her to leave early, notified another server that we needed help. THIS ONLY OCCURRED AFTER A WAITRESS NOTICED MY LOOK OF DESPAIR AND INQUIRED. That server did an amazing job filling the gap. The management is weak as evidenced by the unprofessional communication between employees in ear shot of diners. Bottom line: Food great, Service ok, management and atmosphere is lacking.

    I was hoping to like this place a lot more than I did. You walk in, and there were boxes stacked everywhere. The place was not clean. I ordered the small pho. It was a very nice size for small. The broth was good and the vegetables were fresh. Where I had an issue was the shrimp. They were not deveined. I had to devein my shrimp before I put them into the broth. This was my first experience of a restaurant not serving deveined shrimp. The reason for the three star was the broth was tasty, and the service was quick.

    Well Done Beef Pho
    Heather N.

    I got the well done, beef pho. My husband got the shrimp one. We both loved it!! Added a lot of sriracha to mine I love they they have them at the tables. The service was great! All the servers kind of work together and tag team so service is super good. And the speed of getting the food was very fast. It's not too loud in there and we were there during lunch time so I was pleased about that. My husband said he wants to go back again very soon and I agree!

    overly burnt spring rolls and old veggies
    Marri G.

    I was disapppinted in this restaurant. I was hoping for great pho, being one of the few asian restaurants in Columbus. However, the food was not very fresh. My Viet iced coffee tasted like it was regular coffee moxed with some condensed milk, no strong Viet coffee flavor I had hoped for. Usually not a big deal but in aggregate with everything else it added to the negative revoew. The fried spring rolls were overly burnt which I'm guessing is from being frozen and refried. The veggies I got were old and not fresh (cucumber was not crunchy, and the pickled veggies were very old). What was presented as agedashi tofu was just some thinly fried tofu topped with sesame seeds and a side of chili sauce, instead of the traditional tsuyu sauce. Nothing close to what is considered agedashi tofu. The last thing negative thing i noticed was the beansprouts for my pho was black on the ends and again, not fresh. Perhaps it is inaccessability of fresh asian ingredients nearby but these things all negatively impacted my review. I did not try it but I was told the sushi was good by the people I ate with.

    Shrimp Bun
    Erikka T.

    We love coming here for their huge menu as everything we have ever tried is absolutely delicious! You also get a good value for your dollar here! Have you ever tried Vietnamese Vermicelli? It is also known as "Bun", this fresh dish is served with different ingredients and a side of fish sauce. I highly recommend the shrimp! Never tried fish sauce? It's delicious and adds the perfect flavor to this dish! This beauty is from Pho Shiki in Columbus, Indiana. If you Love to #supportsmallbusiness like I do, check them out!

    Meatball

    The service and atmosphere very nice. Multi- color lighting added to the dinning experience.

    Mt Fuji roll
    Natalie V.

    Service has gone down beyond belief. I hate to see this restaurant with great food the way it is. Workers don't know how to manage the influx of people coming in and out. There have been various times where we arrive about 30 min before close and they tell us we can't be served but we can do take out. Makes no sense. I really enjoyed the food here. Hopefully they can get their service back to the way it used to be....

    Pho with meatball and raw egg. Very flavorful soup
    Felicia C.

    My friends and I agreed that for a pho place in a "middle of nowhere" (we live in L.A. so we have access to unlimited Asian food. We have tasted some of the best pho there), this place was BOMB and impressive. We had a spring roll with warm peanut sauce for appetizer. It was very good. This dish had our nods. Then we had the meat combination pho with raw egg and grilled pork with rice. The pho soup was very flavorful and the meat was good. The grilled pork with rice tasted similar to the ones in L.A. and it did not disappoint. Amazing overall.

    It's delicious. Pho-real.
    Daniel F.

    If you are looking for delicious PHO or a restaurant that just can't seem to serve a meal that doesn't taste amazing, look no further. Seriously though, I'm blown away every time I come here and am grateful we have it here in Indiana. The crab rangoon here, I exaggerate not, may be the best on the planet. Okay, at least the best I've ever had. It's THAT good. Crunchy, warm, and bursting with flavor. The PHO is refreshing, fresh-tasting, with wow flavors and fast preparation. I personally like my decorated with jalapeños and with extra beef. The salmon sashimi is also shockingly fresh and tasty. Their sushi overall is top-tier and their sashimi is no exception. In short, the journey is over. This is the PHO place you've been looking for. The sushi place. And the Asian cuisine place. If you haven't had it yet, be ready to get wowed. Because yes, it is that good.

    Yummy

    Decided to try something new and took my girl on a date So far so good never had this type of food before my first time and it's honestly really good professional waiters and pretty clean restaurant

    Ramen Alley - Tonkotsu Ramen with extra pork and a side of Kimchi

    Ramen Alley

    4.8(106 reviews)

    In the quiet heart of Columbus, Indiana, where cornfields meet city streets, lies a doorway that…read moresecretly teleports you straight into Tokyo--Ramen Ally. Step inside and you're met with the warm glow the unmistakable aroma of simmering broth that has clearly been tended with devotion and patience. The atmosphere isn't themed it's authentically Japanese, like someone bottled a slice of Osaka and poured it gently into southern Indiana. But the main event? The ramen. Bowls arrive steaming, crowned with tender, golden yolked eggs, fresh pork, and noodles that strike the perfect balance between chew and silk. The broth--whether you journey through rich tonkotsu, savory shoyu, or the bold miso--is layered, soulful, and undeniably crafted by someone who respects the art of ramen. Every spoonful is a reminder that real ramen is not "fast food" like cup noodles--this is comfort, tradition, and technique in liquid form. Add to that gyoza that crisp perfectly at the edges that sings with flavor that would make a street vendor in Osaka proud, and you start to understand why locals speak about this place with reverence. Columbus has many hidden gems, but Ramen Ally is a destination--a place you don't just eat, you experience. It's the kind of spot that makes you question your loyalty to any other noodle you've ever known. Whether you're seeking authenticity, adventure, or just a bowl of ramen that hits you right in the soul--Ramen Ally delivers. 10/10 -- A culinary side quest worth every mile, every minute, and every slurp. 10/10-- The service is exceptional and delightful.

    Best. Ramen. Ever…read more And a charming location and a wonderful staff. Ordered too much food and ate it ALL because it was all perfect The Gyoza were out first - perfectly steamed then lightly grilled. Then the main event - my Tonkotsu Ramen with extra pork. The key to good ramen is a balance of flavors in the broth and the noodle texture. Nailed both - and not too salty. I picked it up and drank the last leftover bits. The curry rice was my "dessert". Perfect again! Service was pleasant and prompt. Can't wait to come back.
