Cool spot, reasonably priced, good vibe (love the playlist). Chairs were uncomfortable in the middle of the resatraunt, ended up moving to a booth. Okay service. Kind people, but felt rushed. App- gyoza. Good flavors, wish they were seared a little harder.  Forgot to take original pic, so don't mind the to go box.  Entree- fried rice with chicken.  Pretty good.  Was mislead on the veggies. There were barely any,  and it consisted of only carrots, onion and bean sprouts.   I asked what the seasonal vegetables were if I were to add them and they said it would just be more of the standard vegetables which was disappointing. Friend had the fried duck Roman. It he said it would rate it about a 2/3. He had a better experience previously from this specific restaurant, so it was a little disappointing. Maybe it was just a off day. I think I will return because I would like to taste the ramen which seems to be there more popular dish. read more

It's girls' night, and we wanted something different. This was my first time, and I enjoyed every bit of it! The staff were very friendly and knowledgeable. We started off with drinks, and I ordered a Peach Spiked Soda. Soo good! The peach flavor was unmatched in other spiked drinks. The Takoyaki and the Ahi Poke bowl were so so yummy. This had to be the best Takoyaki I've ever had. I could have gone for seconds. I can't wait for my next trip! read more

Busy Saturday, we just walked in but seated promptly. Our orders came a little slow especially the boat. However, it was fresh and everything was tasty from the ramens to the poke bowls, but the servings I would say we're on the small side... in my opinion. We would try this place again. Happy tummy sure! read more

Modern Ramen and other restaurant for quality ramen near the mall. Lunch with 5 friends. We walked in and had a 15 min wait before they texted us our table was ready. The restaurant was modern and clean with a kind staff. I ordered a hot sake bottle and Ramen. Both were an ok price and good quality ramen. The selection was good with plenty of different foods including sushi, poke, and bao. That selection of food and drinks was the biggest appeal. Overall a good spot. read more

Slurping Turtle - Hakata Tonkotsu Ramen - Sushi Bars Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

I visited slurping turtle today at around 2pm and sat at the bar. I witnessed a young girl, I don't know if she was a host or server, help a customer with a to go order and a person higher up was being very aggressive with her. Grabbing her arm and pulling her to the side right in front of the customer, his choice of tone talking to the young girl was disgusting and made me lose my appetite. As a person who also works in the restaurant industry no one should ever be that rude to their employee and to be quite frank I have no idea how a person like him could get to a position that requires excellent communication. read more

Very kind staff! I had the vegan curry bowl. Best I've had in a while. For the rest I believe they had a duck based ramen bowl. The less adventurous of us asked that the some of the spicy elements be left on the side. We were seated immediately and greeted! This is one of the longest waits for the main dish in the city but it's consistent. Order apps right away and enjoy the wait. (Fresh in house noodles take time ya'll) but this I not a "real quick before the movie" or "snag on my lunch break" spot. A couple of notes. We had a bit of an early 2000's club music choice. Not particularly offensive but borderline for a meal with the family. Worth considering if you're management but again not terrible. The bathroom situation is a little challenging. Here's the objective summary/instructions: Gender neutral bathrooms so either one. No signage on the doors. Dimly lit lobby may make you miss the "occupied/vacant" toggle on the door. Changing tables inside, and toilet. No sink. Sinks are in a trough style in the area outside the bathrooms. So you know, door handles. Great design, good staff, very good food. Well done. read more

We went to the slurping turtle last night for the first time! We went early as we have a toddler and we're concerned it could be a long wait. We were seated within about 5 minutes and they placed us at one of the short tables which was perfect! I was a bit concerned about being placed at a tall table as that would have been tough with a toddler! My husband and I both got ramen and it was incredible! We also got the tuna nacho appetizer which was delicious and we wish there was more! My daughter got the lil stir fry and she enjoyed it! We will definitely be back! read more

Went for a late lunch on a Sunday. Took 20min to get seated but we walked around Macy's while we waited and were texted when our table was ready. We were seated on the patio with a nice view of the intersection. People/car watching at Easton is fun. Ordered the pick 3 BAO( chicken, shrimp, pork belly) and two ramen bowls. The Red Curry Ramen was sweet with a proper spice. My Hakata Tonkotsu Ramen was smooth and delicious. Over all, a pleasant experience. read more

This is my second time in... This is a really cool place. We really the enjoyed our dinner at the Slurping Turtle. I had the chicken fried in duck fat ramen but I had the chili spice on the side which was awesome. Wifey had the stir fry with the shrimp. Baby girl had the Sunday morning role sushi. We had the squid as an appetizer. The food was awesome the service was really good.a really good place for a unique dinner read more

First visit to a good restaurant. The layout was nice; however, the high top tables all have stationery chairs, which is awful for short people or those with bigger bodies. Salmon & avo roll was very nice. The edamame has a savory dipping sauce; although it's listed as spicy, we didn't think it was. The ramen was average overall, but good for Columbus area. The molten eggs were quite tasty, as was the pork belly. In all, a bit pricy for what you get but a decent dinner and worth the visit. read more

Cocktails were great and the duck fat fried chicken ramen is excellent! Server was also great. Room we were seated in was probably a little brighter than I'd like but that's not really a big issue. Definitely stop in if you're in the area. read more

This is a ramen place but what you really want to go there for is their duck fat fried chicken. I have been there 3 times and they have never failed to impress me with their dffc! I mean I occasionally dream about them! Definitely in the top tier of fried chicken places in Columbus which is ironic since they are primarily a remen place! Located in easton, slurping turtle has quickly become my go to for some karage or Japanese fried chicken pieces. There's just something unique about it that makes it so addictive for me. Their ramen is fairly standard though but their duck fat fried chicken is to die for! I'll check them out just for their duck fat fried chicken read more

Be patient, they are worth it! Our server, Sonnie was fantastic. I grew up in the Bay Area, and this place hits! Our go to is the DFFC ramen. The broth is rich with miso and just the right spice and add ins. The molten eggs and duck fat fried chicken are delicious! Pink lady sushi roll was killer, as well as the sashimi plate. When we take our kids, the kids bento box with salmon is the best deal at Easton. Lots of seating, but limited booths. Be prepared to sit at a high top. Great sushi and great ramen! A must eat at Easton! read more

Slurping Turtle - Sushi Bars Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

Slurping turtle combines everything great about Asian cuisine in one large and in charge menu. From the ramen being out of this world flavorful without burning your mouth, to bao with a really nice chicken, to a sushi roll that I was shocked with how much I enjoyed it (I normally cannot do sushi due to texture.) all around amazing food. The location was neat and in a really dope place in Easton with a lot of parking and cool spot surrounding it. Inside the restaurant was trendy and neat, spacious and intimate, a surprising combo that worked well with the shareable dishes served. Service did feel a bit lacking as the servers were stretched thin with a lot of tables, but other staff around them picked up the pace if our server was busy. Overall this is a great spot that we will be visiting again, definitely want to try the sake flight and some of the finger foods. Take a peak if you can! read more

My friend and I sat at the bar. Our server name was Dennis and he was and amazing server. I have a lot of allergies and he was so accommodating and helpful and when we were unsure of what we were eating he went through and explained what it was and how to eat it. He was very kind and helpful if Slurping Turtle does any sort of reward things Dennis should get one. Also the food was amazing! I recommend the yellowtail sashimi and if you like a little spice get the red curry ramen but add the coconut cream! read more

It was like a scene out of the movie Cocktail. Handsome young bartender says he can make us any drink we can imagine...just tell him the alcohol you like. We picked our poisons and off he went to get the cocktail shaker shaking! He came back with some fancy bourbon drink and a "Singapore Sling" with tequila instead of gin (per request). It was a strangely delicious concoction. Sort of citrus-y, but sort of fruity too. It looked beautiful and tasted great. He put some real care into those drinks and it showed. We also ordered a Pink Lady Roll and so glad we did. I just love the soy paper wrap and the flavor was amazing. We had already eaten dinner, but who can pass up sushi? Great music, great bar service. We will be back. read more

Slurping Turtle - Dragon roll - Sushi Bars Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

This is a difficult review because we love the food here so much. However the last 3 occasions have been awful as far as service goes. We have done take out 3 times and I can't say we will do it anymore . First they give you a time of about 45 min which for the quality of the food is worth it. Problem is all 3 times we have been there we have waited over 1hr and 15 min minimum. Second which I will say is our fault that we did not check our order. But regardless they forgot items . Side items like extra noodles or extra pork belly. They really just need to go over the order and make sure it's correct . The food is really good it's just a big disappointment that the service is not the greatest. We have done dine in several times and it was s a little better but you still wait forever . Will we be back ? Im sure we will but it's going to take a while before we decide to go through the trouble read more

This is a great place to dine if you are looking for something different to eat. The restaurant is well lit and the decor is pretty. The bathroom was unique and set up very different. The menu selection is great. The staff was friendly and attentive. My daughter had the Red Curry Ramen with added chicken. The bowl that it was served in was very beautiful. I had to tasty her broth it was very tasty. We had the Chicken Bao for an appetizer they are very good little bun sandwiches. I ordered the Chahan which is fried rice and paired with your choice of meat. The cook makes the dishes look very appetizing. I cannot wait to try one of the Ramen dishes on my next visit. read more

I already want to go back! I dined in tonight with a friend and it was an awesome feeling to be out and about in Easton on Friday night. We started with dumplings and cocktails. The dumplings were deliciously juicy inside (not dry at all) and the hibiscus sake grapefruit cocktail was yummy but pricey at $13. I ordered tuna & salmon roe nigiri and it was mouthwatering. Will definitely come back for the sushi! I finished with the Tan Tan Men spicy ramen. (Not pictured--I forgot to snap a pic!) it was good but I've had better at local ramen ma & pa places in Columbus. So many more things I saw being served, like buns and tempura, so I'll definitely hit up the Turtle again! read more

It brings me immense joy to have an authentic ramen restaurant at Easton, close to where I currently live. It'll be tough to keep myself from coming too often. Slurping Turtle opened around Christmas time in 2020 during the pandemic and since then I've visited several times. The ramen is wonderful, possibly the best I've had in Columbus. Having tried all the ramens on the menu except for the Shrimp Shio, their quality is very consistent and very high. My favorite is the Hakata Tonkotsu ramen which tastes very smooth and creamy but still has a sharpness to it from the black garlic oil. The pork belly in that ramen is really flavorful and has a near-perfect balance of lean meat and fat. Their ramen noodles have a nice spring to it and a semi-rough texture which holds the broth quite well. My favorite, however, is the molten egg. It is easily the best component of their ramen bowls. If the ramen you order doesn't have the molten egg, add it! While their DFFC ramen is good, I don't like how the fried chicken is sitting in the broth, slowly getting soggy and losing its crispness. Maybe it's for the presentation, I don't know. One ramen I didn't really like was the Classic Tokyo Shoyu, it was quite salty and the flavor wasn't that spectacular. The prices are certainly high for a bowl of ramen, but their portion sizes are also huge so that makes up for it. I would rather have lower prices and smaller bowls of ramen though, since it is really hard for me to finish the whole bowl even if I don't have any appetizers. The decor inside is pretty nice, I especially like the bathroom sign (4U2P). One complaint I have is how uncomfortable the high seats are. They're really hard and uncomfortable to sit on for more than, maybe 30 minutes. Overall, a very solid addition to Easton's new district, and I look forward to returning and trying other items on their menu like the tobanyaki. Food: 4.5/5 Service: 4/5 Price: 3.5/5 Ambiance: 4/5 Overall: 4/5 read more

I love this new ramen spot. So clever to put this right at Easton with so much foot traffic. I've been here twice so far and loved both visits. They do get a lot of customers but somehow they seem to manage minimal wait times if there even is one and they bring your food and drinks out super quick. Or they have the option of carryout. I've been to a lot of ramen spots here and in other cities but never had a bowl this big. Their prices are more on the high end of ramen bowls, however it makes sense bc you get so much. I have gotten the duck fat fried chicken ramen each time. Superb. I also really like their bourbon peach cocktail. I'll have to see if they have their matcha ice cream in stock next time for dessert because it was sold out last visit when I ordered. read more

Humongous bowls. You definitely get your moneys worth. Flavor combinations work well. Finally tried a BAO although I've known about them, but never ever got around to trying until our visit and the Pork Belly one didn't disappoint. Bathroom setup was different as there were no sinks in any of them. Once you exit there's like a communal sink for everyone to wash their hands. Booths were nice and spacious with fake greenery on top blocking other booths in front and behind you for a nice privacy touch. Staff were nice with good service. We will be back! read more

I have been to slurping turtle twice now in the last couple of months & enjoyed this place a lot more than I thought I would! I have never really eaten ramen before but I tried the DFFC miso ramen and it was amazing!! The sushi here is also fresh and tasty if ramen isn't your thing. This place can get pretty busy on the weekends so arrive early or be prepared to wait. If you are into ramen it is definitely worth the wait. read more

Slurping Turtle is one of my go-to ramen spots in Columbus especially if you need a pick-me-up meal after a day of shopping at Easton. Their ramen and appetizers are delicious but expensive which is why I gave it 4 stars. I recommend their Takoyaki ($11) and Hakata Tonkotsu Ramen ($17). My friends love the DFFC Miso Ramen. read more

It's not a large space. It was colder so the patio wasn't open. It was also later on a Friday so the wait was to be expected. The seating is very authentic so can't complain about the hard wooden chairs affixed far too close to the high top tables for comfort. The star loss is due to the size of the Brussels sprouts offering. This appetizer appears much larger than it is as the sprouts are shredded. The chicken on the chatan was amazingly tender and thinly sliced. The Sunday morning roll was a star. Service was fine. read more

Slurping Turtle - Brussels sprouts in soy - Sushi Bars Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

Where do I even start. To begin we were a walk in party of 2 on a Saturday night and were quoted 15 mins by the hostess. The table was a little early and I called and they were super kind and let me come in 15 mins later because we were stuck in a store. When I got there we were sat right away but that's where the quality of this meal ended. To begin with we were sat at the table for like 10-15 minutes before we got any service including a simple greeting and waters. Then thankfully the manager noticed us and grabbed waters for us. We were later then greeted by our actual server Michelle. We ordered appetizers which were the yellowtail avocado sushi roll and the Brussel sprouts. The sushi had an awful metallic taste to it but the Brussels were quite good. Our server was pushing our personal space and made us slightly uncomfortable too. Also our ramen bowls took around an hour to come out after ordering which was ridiculous. Prior to ordering our one bowl it was not supposed to be spicy but came out covered in chili oil and the chicken that was ordered on the side was inedible, dry, and rubbery. The redeeming aspect of the meal was the manager recognizing our displeasure and taking care of the bill along with checking in during our meal. Love the front of staff and respect for the manager but the meal was below satisfactory. read more

A ramen place worth going back to. Hence, I visited twice on two different business trips when my weary stomach needed that comfort broth to soothe my system. Slurping turtle delivered. Both times I went there without reservation, they were busy on both occasions but I was able to get seated relatively quickly. Food order was efficient as well. The place certainly has a bar / social scene vibe, modern instead of the classic traditional decor, which shows in some of their ramen offering as well. My first visit I had the DFFC (duck fat fried chicken) miso ramen, wanting a bit of the spicy kick. The bowl was delicious. The chicken was crisp and flavorful, the kimchi delivered that kick and give some balance of veggie. It was a delicious and super hearty bowl and I could not stop eating the soup even though I was absolutely full. I also had the hamachi nachos. If I knew how hearty the DFFC Ramen bowl is, I would have skipped the hamachi. It wasn't bad, a pretty standard hamachi nacho. My second visit I opted for some lighter and more of the standard fare. The shoyu broth was good and I love how much green onions they packed in that bowl! Gyoza was good too. Glad to have found this place read more

What a refreshing find at one of the newer areas of Easton Town Center. It has a gluten free menu!! Yes, I know it's rare to find a ramen place that does! I'm so excited! ... and full! I ordered the Red Curry Ramen. Double the amount of coconut lemongrass cream, omitted the chili oil to cut the heat. I also added chicken. It was fantastic! The noodles were perfectly done and the broth was spiced well. There were homemade chips on the top which added another layer of texture. The environment was clean. Staff were masked and the server Lexi was great! Parking was plentiful. It's located next to the Macy's garage where parking is always free read more

I arrived at the slurping turtle on a Thursday at 7 pm. They were kind of busy but they let me sit at the bar and have a glass of wine while I waited for my table. I asked about reservations and was told that you can call with 2 hours prior. I kept asking people while I waited what their favorite things on the menu are and was recommended highly for the duck fat fried chicken which is soy- sesame marinated chicken fried in duck fat which to me sounded pretty gross but I had to try it and it was AMAZING Thank you Aliyah and Olivia for the recommendations. For sushi rolls, I highly recommend Spicy Tuna deluxe as it was probably my favorite. We also ordered Sunday Morning and Spicy California roll which were very good but now as good as Spicy Tuna deluxe. I tried my friends slurp (homemade ramen) and have come to the conclusion that Spicy Miso Tonkotsu is amazing. We also liked the Tan Tan Men. Overall all fantastic choices and you should come check out Slurping Turtle at Easton read more
