    Chicken lovers ramen bowl
    Rachel E.

    This place is a real gem, just off mills in the Ivanhoe district. They are way more than a ramen bar. We stopped in for an early dinner and had our choice of seating. They have these great family friendly booths that are partially enclosed, would also be ideal for a date night. David, our server was quite possibly the best server in all of Orlando. Truly helpful kind and memorable. He explained that they have daily specials, a pretty extensive happy hour and while there is not a kids menu there are tons of kids friendly options including A ramen bowl (broth and noodles). They also have plastic cups with straws and lids for littles that many restaurants have phased out and I still very much appreciate. We tried the sugar snap peas with shrimp, surprisingly delicious with a complex slightly spice sauce, the chicken lovers ramen, their burger, tofu and the unexpected star of the show the lobster butter toast. The ramen was great and the noodles were the best texture I've had in a long while. The tempura chicken thigh that comes in it would be great even on its own The burger was pretty good but the fries that came with it were absolutely top tier. The lobster butter toast. Japanese milk bread toasted in plenty of rich lobster butter. I couldn't get enough and neither could my kids. So great. The owner was kind and informative. He truly cares about his restaurant and the quality of the foods they put out. I heard rumors that they may make an egg sando with that toast and the moment that just he menu I'll be back to try it! 10/10. Go enjoy yourself.

    They have seafood, ramen, and drink options. I was craving a nice bowl of ramen. The lychee saketini is the best one of all the saketinis (comes with two lychees). As for my review of the ramens... a solid 8.5/10. My friends and I got the TR 50/50 and Big Pappa ramen (like $18), pricey side but there isn't much Asian food around. Each bowl came with two halves of a marinated egg. The menu has a lot of customizable options like if you want chili oil or extra ingredients for an extra cost. The big pappa ramen has a thick strong pork meat flavor. The char Siu was two thin pieces of pork belly, kinda reminded me of bacon tbh. The bamboo shoots, however, were outright not good. It tasted watery like straight from the can - had absolutely no soup flavor. The lobster and shrimp salad ($16) was delicious. The Japanese milk bread dipped into the concoction (needed more than a small bowl) was delicious. The 6 Jameson oysters with their vinaigrette was delicious and not too small for fall season. They had 3 different types of oysters. The seacuterie looked interesting but sounded like it was pricey for not a lot of food. The appetizers came quick first. There's plenty of seating from booth to tall bar tables. Free parking in the back lot, but you could also pay for valet. They're right next to their sister bar/restaurant store.

    As a ramen lover, I was deeply ecstatic that The Rev opened up in the Ivanhoe Village area. The Rev is a great addition to the area. The ambiance is nice and chill. It has a homey feel to it, which adds to the chill and calmness of the restaurant space. They have a good amount of seating and even moments where you can get a bit more of an intimate feel for a nice little date night. The decor is simple but nice. It is usually not super crowded. So, it's a great place to pop into if you don't want to deal with the hustle and bustle of its neighboring restaurants. The staff and service are excellent. Overall, my first experience was really good. Now, as it relates to the food, I will say it is not my favorite ramen in town, but it is good. Everything was prepared well, and the presentation of the dishes was very nice. My friend enjoyed every bit of their dish and finished it in the restaurant. I had some leftovers to go (as I usually do), and they held up nicely. I ordered the Chicken Little dish while my friend ordered their Florida dish. The drinks were also super tasty. I had their Sparkling Pear Saketini - which was a nice and delightful drink. As someone who is trying to get into Sakes, this was a nice happy medium. All in all, it was a tasty meal. I'll be back for sure. I am looking forward to how they will grow with Ivanhoe Village. Definitely pay them a visit if you have not already.

    We had such a wonderful experience at this restaurant! From the moment we walked in, the staff made us feel genuinely welcome. Everyone was incredibly friendly, attentive, and eager to make sure we were comfortable. Their positive energy truly set the tone for the entire evening. The food was absolutely amazing. Every dish we tried was full of flavor, beautifully presented, and clearly made with care. You can tell the kitchen takes pride in what they serve. The staff's warmth and attentiveness turned a great meal into a memorable experience. We'll definitely be coming back and highly recommend this place to anyone looking for fantastic food and exceptional hospitality!

    Tuna poke
    Arun K.

    I went for the Orlando sip and savor week (deal with restaurants in the downtown area). I arrived without a reservation on a Saturday evening, and decided to sit in the bar area. My bartender, David, greeted me and gave me some time to look at the menu. I noticed the sip and savor deal had drink specials as well, so I took a lychee and passion fruit saketini (8 dollars during the special). It was a sweet and refreshing saketini. I tasted mostly lychee than passion fruit, but it was still delicious. I also loved that there were 2 lychees to enjoy as the topping. There was a right amount of sake to provide the buzz, but nothing overwhelming. The menu was a three course dinner for 35 dollars. I took the suggested tuna poke for my appetizer. It has three nicely sized wontons with a nice amount of raw tuna. The wontons held the tuna well, and still crispy to enjoy. The tuna was quite fresh and soft, and the sauces had a citrus flavor with a kick of spice too. For my entree, I chose the pork and chicken ramen. When I tried the broth, I noticed something was missing. It was seasonings! Even though the broth had the pork and chicken flavor, it needed some seasonings to add the umami taste. Same with the fried chicken included in the soup. While the chicken was tender, the tempura tasted like KFC without the herb and spices. I did enjoy the chasu, egg, cucumber, and bean sprouts that were included as well though. The noodles looked to be instant brand, but not too bad. While the soup could have been better, it was still good enough to enjoy and filling enough to take home for leftovers. For dessert, the yuzu cheesecake was just right. It had the perfect amount of citrus flavor without puckering my lips, and it was rich enough to be filling. The blueberry sauce was a bit too much, and syrupy for my taste. Edamame was also included for snacking, and very enjoyable with the chili seasoning. The service from David was great and attentive. He kept checking up on me and helped me with packing my leftovers into the bag. He also cleaned the table between the courses too. The atmosphere is small and casual. There is a small bar where I sat, and I also saw some tables with curtains to create an intimate setting. Parking was small and can be difficult to find, but thankfully valet parking was available for 2 dollars. The valet staff was excellent! The Rev is a nice concept owned by the restaurant next door, Santiago Bodega. While it's pretty casual, the food and drinks are mostly good. I would try their non soup options next time, as well as try Santiago Bodega too. The Rev is a great addition near the downtown area. Overall: A-

    Aldrin W.

    I was hungry so I stop by this restaurant! I was greeted right away. Got the table and music was mellow. Very clean restaurant! Customer service was good. David was my server, knowledgeable with the menu! He brought me complimentary boiled peanuts to start before the Big meal! I ordered the Florida Ramen! Seasoning was to overwhelming! Not enough broth! Noodles are overcooked and soft! The broth was not served hot! David customer service was superb though! I usually give a 2 star if the food wasn't good but because David customer service was great I will give a 3 star! The Key lime pie tasted really good! Price was to expensive as well! I don't think I will come back for a visit!

    Trying out a new spot, The Rev!
    Kate M.

    This is such a great new spot in Ivanhoe Village! They had a great happy hour going on when we arrived for dinner so my husband and I each ordered a sake drink and the Deviled Eggs, which were amazing!! For my meal I got the TR 50/50 Ramen, which is made with pork bone/chicken bone broth, pork chashu, nori, fried chicken, seasoned egg, pickled cucumber, fried shallots, and bean sprouts. The broth was SO flavorful and it was such a unique ramen with the fried chicken. The Rev is a really cute location and we sat in a cozy booth which was perfect for date night. I can't wait to come back and try another ramen!

    Ramen
    Tony P.

    Great ambiance and authentic Japanese bar and restaurant setting. However the ramen whole looked tasty was not very good. It needed to have more flavors and it was pretty bland. I may try it again in the future since this place is still new. Friendly and attentive staff!

    Gyoza dumplings
    Drew S.

    Oh boy, this place was great. We just had some appetizers, gyoza dumplings and fish dip but both were amazing. Also had the frosted blackberry saketini, which was spectacular. Our servers were both super attentive and knowledgeable of the menu. The vibe of the place is upscale but welcoming and chill. I loved it and will certainly be back.

    Teriyaki chicken skewers
    Johanna F.

    Perfect little ramen spot, very cozy vibes and great service/atmosphere. Will definitely be back for their happy hour deals. The teriyaki skewers were juicy and had a crunch. The coconut sticky rice was delicious, great portion size. Ramen was great and the broth was rich and flavorful.

    Stephanie I.

    The restaurant is very beautiful. It was a little too warm for me. I was starting to break a sweat by the end of our dining. It also seemed like there was just one person there and he was doing a lot so I had to flag him down a couple times. I got the three dollar oysters on happy hour, the pork Ramen, the Gyoza, and the 50-50 Ramen. The oysters came with this white miso dressing that was really yummy. I would come back here just for the oysters. The Ramen was just OK. The 50-50 had a tempura Chicken piece on there that was very crispy and not too greasy and delicious. I didn't care for the dumplings. The texture on the inside and on the steam side was a little weird. The pork chashu was also very good. The broth was pretty standard. But I feel like that's kind of what you get in Orlando. I truly haven't found a good Ramen place in Orlando. And by that I mean, good enough for me. I think most people will like this place just fine. I would come back for the oysters and maybe try a small plate of something else that isn't ramen. I loved the chili crisp xxx. That was great!

    We are so happy this place exists in our neighborhood. The dumplings, ramen and boa bun was delicious. Can't wait to go back! It was gorgeous decor and the server was so patient and explained any menu item I had a question about.

    Lobster with white rice
    Amy C.

    My boyfriend and I were looking for dinner late. I saw that the rev was still open and I had been wanting to give it a try. We were able to get seated pretty close to closing time. I went for the coconut lobster and my boyfriend did the Florida ramen. They ran out of coconut rice for the lobster so I was given white rice instead. It was basic but I was in the mood for lobster. So they cut up the tail into pieces and then put it back in the tail for presentation. The sauce was good but I would've liked a little more sauce in the dish since the rice was plain. The Florida ramen was really good. The broth was a fish broth I believe and very flavorful. I love the succotash in it. It was not salty or heavy. Different from Japanese ramen broth. I liked everything in the ramen except the blackened fish. My boyfriend liked everything in it. Our server David was really nice. I would come back to try other dishes and if you want to try not typical ramen.

    Poor gyoza that was undercooked and raw

    I have been wanting to stop by DOMU for a while now and I am so happy that I finally made it…read more Everyone raves about it so much and I just knew that it was going to live up to the hype and after going it definitely did. The service was top-notch. The restaurant itself is super cute and had a very warm ambiance (also pretty casual which was nice!). And the food... y'all I can see why everyone hypes this place up because it really is PHENOMENAL. The Richie Rich ramen is the best Ramen I have ever had. The broth was delicious. The meat was cooked to perfection and I was so happy to have leftovers for the next day. The wings were the best wings I've had in a very long time or probably even ever lol (no exaggeration because if you try them, you'll totally understand and agree with me). I truly can't wait to go back and try more things from the menu!

    Wow wow wow this was everything I expected and more!…read more Domu has been on my list for a while and I don't know why it took me so long to finally get here. My friends and I dined in on Saturday night and showed up at 7PM to a two hour wait. Unfortunate, but so worth it. We headed upstairs to the neighborhood bar and got an appetizer and a drink while we waited. We only ended up having to wait maybe an hour and a half for our table at Domu. The service was insanely quick and immediately after ordering our first appetizer came within five minutes. They really know what they're doing here. Whoever was on the aux this evening, 10 out of 10. The music was amazing and the vibes of the restaurant were immaculate. We ordered the cheezus, their signature wings, and the patatas bravas. I understand why they are the best way in Orlando! They were crispy and sweet and flavorful. The potatoes were delicious and the sauce that came with it paired perfectly. I believe it was topped with a crispy quinoa, which was a really nice touch. I can't really do cheese so I didn't try the cheezus, but my friends loved it and said it was delicious. Our server gave me a rundown of his favorite chicken ramens and I ended up choosing the yuzu shoyu ramen. It was nice and full of citrus. I love the eggs that come with the ramen, and he very kindly brought out another egg for me as well as a brûlée egg. I've never tried a Brulé egg in my life and it was so interesting and delicious! Basically a crème brûlée egg!! 10s across the board. I can't wait to come back for more.

We looked up Hawkers, which was not far from the area and decided to call ahead. Their staff confirmed there was no wait and their patio was covered for pets. It's off Colonial and parking options are street parking. They may have a lot, but my friend and her friend found street parking that was no charge that was a short walk to the restaurant. The staff were friendly and very prompt - they seated us immediately and provided water for our dog. Their menu is table shareable dishes. They encouraged us to order and share dishes for the table. We ordered a variety of things and enjoyed the items we ordered. Everything was fresh and balanced in terms of flavors.
