Britt B.

I would rate 2nd language 5/5 every single time. Easily one of my favorite restaurants in Evansville. I absolutely love Pangea and Sazon y Fuego too.

Amanda C.

I had the tiger kimchi ramen and it was super flavorful, with authentic kimchi. I sat at the bar and the service was very fast and the bartender Kelsie B was friendly. The vibe inside is modern and clean.

Chriss N.

Was in the area again for business and this is always a must stop. Great atmosphere, and service. Food is by far some of the best I've ever had! Don't forget the honey toast for dessert, best ever, hands down!

This was my first time visiting, and I was intrigued to find two separate restaurants inside the building. I asked the server about it, but it's been so long that I've forgotten the details. The restaurant itself is upstairs, and there was a sign directing me to the right spot. I wish 2nd Language had been around when I was in college--it's delicious! My chashu ramen was incredibly filling, with a generous portion size that left me satisfied. My friend ordered some kind of steak dinner, but when I checked the menu later, I didn't see it listed. It must have been a special for that day. The service was fine, though it was quite busy since we went during dinner time on a Thursday night. Despite the crowd, the experience was enjoyable overall.

Still great . The restaurant was packed but they said we could order and eat in the pizza restaurant that is owned by the same people. Winner . No one in that section and a lot quieter. I'm doing that from now on.

This was our second time eating here and it was just as good as the last. I had ordered the birria ramen the first time we visited and my wife and I both ordered it again this time. It is incredible. While they do list it as spicy, it really is not too bad. I would say it is less spicy than a jalapeño, so it might be a little much for some but it is far from unbearable even for those who do not usually like very spicy food. We also ordered the shrimp buns as an appetizer and they were amazing. Everything we have tried on the menu so far has been excellent, so I do not think you can go wrong with anything you choose. I highly recommend giving this place a try.

This review is only for Dessert. The restaurant is part of a college pizza joint and serves up a mean Ramen Bowl. The service is supposedly top notch though I only ordered dessert. Friendly counter staff. Think of a Dim Sum joint in China Town and you get the vibe they are going for. I ordered a short term menu item and it was sublime. The Japanese Cheesecake is light, fluffy and decadent. Add a side of Miso Caramel and you're in heaven.

Olivia S.

Great vibes at 2nd Language! The restaurant is super beautiful inside, and the service was stellar. There are tons of food options, but they are known for their ramen. The vegetable ramen had incredible depth of flavor -- delicious and packed full of toppings! The Buffalo chicken buns were also super tasty. You MUST order the honey toast for dessert!! It was devoured before a picture could even be taken. There is plenty of parking in the gravel lot across the street and some street parking as well!

Our 1st visit to 2nd Language. Lunch on 5/15. 2nd Language is an Asian centric restaurant operated by a family that has other restaurants in Evansville. Attached, in the same building is Pangea restaurant. 2nd Language seems to be known for their Ramen bowls. We both had the Pork Ramen Bowl. Wow, it was good. Other reviewers praise their broth and I agree. Our Ramen had a pork bone broth and was loaded with pork, egg and vegetables. Very good, the best I've had in my limited experience. I had iced tea which I loved, and as a bonus it only cost $2 with free refills. The Pork Ramen is $17.95. There are numerous types of Ramen bowls available including vegetarian. Service was great. I will say the place was packed by noon.

Kandace M.

Great service amazing people I got takeout I got the shrimp buns they were $15 but you get two and for me it was worth it beautiful coloring I ate one before I took the picture I was hungry sorry everything was perfect about this Bond sweet savory beautiful coloring it's like you're eating a picture but taste good

Schyler B.

What a beautiful restaurant! My friends and I stopped here on our way through to another state and all enjoyed our experience! I got the Tonkatsu ramen and my goodness it was so delicious!! I always am a fan of bamboo and they cooked it to be so tender! The broth was really rich with flavor and it was thick and delectable! the noodles weee cooked to perfection and the meat was tender and tasty! I really like the cool art and fun light fixtures. I don't have anything negative to say about this place, just a little disappointed I live over 8 hours away haha! If you live ramen and are in the area I highly highly recommend this spot!

I was quite pleasantly surprised to find ramen this good in Evansville. Not to bash the city or anything, but my personal experience is that ethnic foods of this quality are usually in bigger cities. The experience was wonderful and added to the magic of a great first date. We ordered the Karaage for appetizer and we loved it. Both of us got the Garlic Tonkatsu ramen. Very nice creamy + smoky + umami broth. Leo did a great job as our server (although they were pushing dessert on us right after we got the entrees). My only suggestion is to have Takoyaki on the menu as an appetizer, but I have a personal attachment to that dish. If I could give 4.5 stars I would: then it would be relative to offerings in other cities. But I am happy to give it 5 stars if it will help it succeed even more. read more

We had a Chashu Ramen for takeout, and we didn't like it. The meat was too hard, the corn wasn't sweet at all, and it didn't even taste like ramen! We also ordered a Peanut Butter ice cream, and it was too sweet and melted quickly. Overall, I wouldn't recommend this restaurant. read more

This place is NYC or LA worthy!! Never have I found such scrumptious confections in a smallish town. It is SO WORTH waking up early to pick out your daily treats. And that's my recommendation...get there early! They do sell out! We arrived at opening and by the time we sat down to enjoy, there was a line out the door. Their layered donuts are to-die-for, as was everything else we purchased to graze. I didn't take advantage of any of their savory options. That's for my next trip! (Long drive) Do yourself a favor and browse the menu, then plan a stop. You absolutely won't regret it!! Party in your mouth! read more

I'd been eying this place on social media for my next trip to Evansville. I love that it's in this old Biscuit company building. It's got tall ceilings and lots of open lighting. I loved the bake goods- and rose pistachio donut was super interesting. The Bahn Mi breakfast sandwich was tasty but not knock my socks off good. The porridge options looked good and want to try those next time. They have maybe 6-8 small tables and then a raised high top bar to eat at along the window into the prep area. It had a steady stream of folks come while we were there. I'd like to try it again for sure. The historic nature of the building makes for a nice ambience- old wood floors, exposed brick walls. read more

The next continental shift in the Pangea family of restaurants, 2nd Language is another perfect example of attention to detail, culinary authenticity, and the utmost in high-quality design. From master minds came this engaging urban space, and it's not yet through its evolution - the ramen shop is next to open. Nothing from buckets, bags, or cans here, nothing made in an industrial kitchen to be relocated and reformed and respread. If you want a real house-made seven layer pastrie, here it is. What you see is the totality of operations, from ingredients + craft = cuisine. No chain game, there's nothing like it. Go enjoy it. Go support it. read more

They redefined "flavor" as a full-contact salt assault on my taste buds, like my mouth accidentally signed up for a sodium-based action movie. What arrived was essentially plain noodles in a flimsy oyster sauce disguise, like a sad costume party where everyone showed up as "slightly sauced pasta" and no one committed to the theme. If you've ever wondered what it's like to taste the ocean's worst mood swing, congratulations--this is your dish. And just when I thought things couldn't get more confusing, the pizza arrived, boldly pretending to be pizza while secretly auditioning as naan bread in a low-budget culinary identity crisis.

The restaurant's service, food, and ambiance make every meal a pleasant experience. I appreciate the well-designed decor; the food presentation is equally impressive, complementing the consistently delicious taste. Combined with the friendly and accommodating staff, my regular visits have been delightful. read more

I absolutely love their food. I can't wait to try more items in their menu. I think this place often is overlooked because it is not on Main Street. Howeve, it is more than worth going just around the corner. read more

The chicken had no sesame seeds and there was no sauce. We also ordered vegetable Lo Main, again about a quarter serving. We had vegetable tempora. Again another pathetically small serving. The house salad was a few pieces of semi-wilted iceberg lettuce. Nothing else, and not enough for a rabbit. We have ordered from here numerous times in the past and it has never been like this. I can't believe how terrible it was. Such a waste of money. They should be ashamed of themselves. We will never eat or order from this place again.

I ordered the Chicken Hibachi dinner and it was delicious. It was served with a large mound of rice, seasoned veggies, soup, and salad. The salad came with the ginger salad dressing which was so tasty. The soup was way too salty. However, the rest of the dinner was, including the chicken, perfectly seasoned. The service was fast and the server was attentive. Restaurant is clean and comfortable.

There was no AC (on a 98 degree day) and very few tables and I'm not sure they have a public restroom. However! We were impressed with the speed and freshness of our food. My bf swears it is best to dine in because the deep fried sushi rolls are fresh. The food was literally still sizzling when it hit the table. The hibachi shrimp and veggies were great. Fried rice was a bit disappointing... no seasoning really. My daughter liked the beef lo mein. The crab rangoon and gyoza were tasty, as well. The Lin's Roll was very generously portioned for the price, tasted amazing, and I highly recommend it!

She ended up switching to the vegetarian poblano chile, which she ended up really liking. I enjoyed the grilled corvina. You get a subtle smoky flavor. The sweet potato was good.

Wouldn't really recommend that one. There was nothing special about it. The lemon curd didn't make sense with the chocolate ice cream. Couldn't really taste the chile. It wasn't worth the price.
