Today ramen! 1 mile from my house is Kyushu. Black garlic ramen with pork, 4 crispy little veggie spring rolls and the pork buns. I don't know what they are called on the menu, I just know what they are lol. Ramen is also subjective and I've had my share. Kyushu is just very very solid. It comes out fast and most importantly, the perfect temp. I've been to some ramen places that bring out a bowl of lava ramen served with a side of skin graft. The corn at the bottom is still fresh with a crunch to it. The Black a garlic just has such a depth to the broth. The egg is always perfect and the pork just melts. The spring rolls were super crispy and I really liked the spicy mayo dipping sauce. I love anything that resembles a Bao bun. I especially appreciate the chili oil and spicy seasonings at each table. Warms you up on these unpredictable Ohio evenings. I also had a Tsing Tao and an Ichiban lager beer. All in all just an enjoyable meal. $41 plus tip for everything. No complaints. It was worth it.

My friend and I came here for some ramen since it's been so cold. They have a decent amount of…read moreramen options as well as a full sushi menu. We ordered the gyoza dumplings to start which were super yummy. Then I ordered the spicy tonkatsu ramen with pork cashu. The ramen was yummy, I wish it was a bit spicier to be honest but still good. The marinated egg is always one of my favorite parts of ramen so I got an extra. I do wish that when I asked for the nori to be substituted with extra bamboo shoots she would have warned me that they can to do substitutes and what the charge would be. Overall it was a good experience and good ramen

I was at Roush Honda getting service, so I walked over for lunch. Very quiet inside at 12:30, but…read morethe take-away and food service deliveries were brisk. Never been. Their counter server, perhaps the owner, guided me and she raved about the broth they make for Tonkatsu Ramen. So I said yes. Good Choice. It was full of noodles, vegetables, half egg, and two nice slices of pork. And she's right, the broth had a lot of flavor. When I'm in the area I'll try the chicken next, but you can't go wrong with the Tonkatsu.

One of the reasons I'm angry we were called out of Columbus is my love for Wukong…read more Not too large a place, we always catch them at non-peak. So there's plenty of room and we get a lot of attention. It's more sit down and dine then an express. The shrimp and tuna always taste fresh as well as the salmon sashimi. The California Poke Bowl is an excellent choice. A large bowl of Jumbo Shrimp, Crab, avocado, corn and a tasty house mayo at a very reasonable price. Then there's the Korean fried chicken which is out of this world. It was a bit out of the way for us, but they are always so kind and service is so quick and efficient. Nikki is the best! 12/24

CM Chicken is Korean fried chicken place right on Bethel Road next to Yogis…read more The place is easy and casual. You can order your chicken in drumsticks, tenders or wings. Chicken is always fresh and juicy. The sauces are different and more aligned to Korean cuisine so don't go in expecting buffalo sauce. They have several sides like onion rings, curly fried which are crispy and always well done. The service is quick and servers are friendly.

This is probably my favorite KFC (Korean Fried Chicken) restaurant in Columbus. I had not been to…read morethis location before, and it is a little bit smaller than the one on Bethel Road. The service was fast and efficient, and our to-go order was ready sooner than promised. The chicken "travelled well", and was still hot and crispy when we had it at home 20 minutes later. We ordered the Garlic Soy drumsticks, the Garlic Spicy wings, and also the Honey Garlic tenders. The tenders were just ok, but the drumsticks and wings were both delicious. The spice levels were not overwhelming, so I may try a spicier sauce on my next visit.

Fukuryu is the first ramen place I've tried that lets you customize so many of my favorite extras--mushrooms, fish cakes, and egg. You can also choose your spice level; I went with half chili , and it was perfect for me. Spicy enough to leave a pleasant lingering heat without being overwhelming. I'm glad I read previous reviews because they definitely deliver on the heat they promise. The only downside was that the pork wasn't as tender as the chashu I'm used to in ramen. That said, the rest of the ingredients and the noodles were well-prepared, with great flavor and texture. I would definitely order Fukuryu ramen again.

I also tried the panko chicken which was really crispy and paired well with the ramen. The vibe of the place is also great with all the lamps, flags, and decor. The servers were incredibly sweet and made the whole visit even better. They also have a happy hour menu with some great options at a discounted price, so it is definitely worth checking out. Since it is so close to where I live and work, I will definitely be going back again.

The ramen is packed with flavor, perfectly cooked, and consistently delicious every time I visit. Their drink selection is just as impressive as the menu and pairs well with the food. If you're looking for great food, a great vibe, and great service all in one place, look no further. Highly recommend!

For my birthday, I was happy to try this place out since this location was close to home. Columbus is slowly becoming the place for all things foodie and geeky and I love that for us! This place is located on the 1280 W 5th Street and Northwest Blvd. There is parking in the front, and the restaurant is small and cozy. The seating is for parties of 4 to 5 but arrangements can be made so talk to a server. The menu offered everything from drinks, small place to ramen and I wanted to try more. We got the salt and pepper shrimp, the Kyushu Karaage (Japanese fried chicken), Hot tea and Takoyaki for a group of 5. Everything was piping hot and delicious and lightly seasoned to bring out the flavors of the overall dish. The servers were sweet and extremely helpful for explaining what things were and me, being a ramen nerd, could sit back and relax. I got the Kyushu Black Garlic Tonkotsu. It was so GOOD!! I love the taste of black garlic and the umami in the dish was so pleasant. The noodles were chewy, and the pork slices were so tender. The Tendernism! IYKYK. 5 stars for a great birthday meal that did not break the bank. Well, my friend covered my bill. :)

I loved the presentation of the sushi, they definitely do a nice job with it all :) I had kind of forgotten about this place so I'm glad my husband said "sushi and stay close!" The perfect spot! They also had what appeared to be a brisk to go business if that's more your style!
