Delicious Ramen, well made and full of flavor. I wanna take a bath inside the broth. Great atmosphere and very friendly staff. Can't wait to go back. 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 came here thing it was good food, it wasn't. The pork bao was disgusting, they had used old pork meat and it has and old stale taste to it. There was nothing special, they serve it with pickle and 1 slice of old pork meat. Disgusting. 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

Truly outstanding food and service. Everyone loved the Ramen, but the tuna, steak, and salads were also excellent. The appetizers were also a hit, and the Honey Toast desert is simply unbelievable(!!!). It was crowded (as it should be), but the service was prompt, fun, and attentive. Eight were in our party, and everyone had a great experience - we'll be back. read more

I got the chashu chicken and the meat was cold and just thrown in the steaming ramen in huge chunks. Good ambiance and clean place overall.

The food is amazing, the staff very friendly. I ordered a steak with chimichurri and was fantastic. Seafood ramen was excellent .

Amazing ramen. The broth was so delicious!! Also had the honey toast it's a definite must have!!!

A standout in Evansville, only open select days. Every thing is delicious and meticulously made. French patisserie owned by the Pangaea people. I have had the French donuts, the bahn mi, the hand tarts. All of them completely delicious. read more

We love 2nd language!! The food and service are always top notch and this is consistent every time we go there! Highly recommend!

Food was phenomenal, vibe was chill service was good! Best Ramen I have had around here!

Our young children and us love this place. We've come many times and have never been disappointed. Service is always excellent. You may have a moderate wait for seating, especially meal times, but the wait is worth it. Definitely try, and discover your favorite flavors. read more

The dumpling were a home run. I had the chashu chicken very enjoyable. We loved the atmosphere. Nice place and we will be back.

I just love this place! Great place to meet up for breakfast. Lots of delicious options. Coffee is good. Mini donuts with the dipping sauce are scrumptious read more

Wasn't impressed by the pastries options. Overpriced and mediocre in my opinion. Had high expectations based on Pangea and was greatly disappointed. Pangea has better sweet options. read more

Food and service was amazing. The setting was great as well. We will for sure be going back!!

Excellent meal and service. I am wheelchair bound and really appreciate how the manager helped me with the elevator to our table. I had ramen and my wife had a rice bowl. Both meals were outstanding. We capped it off with Japanese honey toast for dessert. Can't recommend this restaurant enough. Can't wait to return read more

Love that we have something unique as this in our area. I do prefer my entries dine in vs carryout. The staff is nice and very helpful.

The food and service were amazing! The Honey Toast desert should not be missed. Even though we were just passing through I would highly recommend this place to anyone I know. read more

Love this place. Incredible food, fun atmosphere, great service - always a favorite! I've had the signature smoked ramen and the chashu chicken ramen, both with kimchi, and they are so delicious. The noodles are the perfect texture, the food is made with fresh ingredients, the broth is so flavorful - I always look forward to coming back! 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

Oh my gosh, this stuff is amazing. Such soft pastries, and the hand pies are so crisp when they're fresh from the oven. The donuts change every month so you have to come a couple times if you really like one of the flavors. The hand pies change too but they're still sooo good read more

Get the tan tan!! Life changing! I don't often enjoy ramen at restaurants but I got this while visiting a friend and quite literally daydream about the Tantan ramen. Yum! read more

I love their donuts and food choices!! They have new flavors every month. My husband and I go there every month to try their new flavors! Yum read more

Loved the variety of breakfast sweets and spin on different cuisine flavors -- their coffee is also a must try! Look forward to going back when I'm in town again! read more

Japanese cuisine is one of my favorites especially being born and raised in California where the Japanese population is high. Some girls I met planned a dinner reservation here four nights ago and I couldn't make it, SO my husband booked a reservation for us to try it another night. So, in my opinion if I am being honest, I was overly excited to try this place out for the 1st time. The booth that we were seated at was full of tiny food scraps, it was DIRTY...nobody wiped it down I guess prior to us being seated and there was a lot of other open seating available too which is why I was confused too. Anyway, as for the vegetable ramen, it was pretty good, the ONLY downfall was the fact that the noodles in my bowl were stuck at the bottom so I had to take apart the noodles a little. The other order we had was the vegan veggie rice bowl.... Definitely had to pick at it the sauce was very unpleasant and the carrots (or whatever the cylindrical orange color vegetable) was WAY too over cooked / soft... made the whole dish not tasty so had to just leave it. He probably should have ordered the vegan or vegetarian ramen instead. Anyway, desert it was okay we had the coconut cream brûlée. Was it good? Yes! Would I order it again? No. I'll definitely wait to order other deserts or the older more popular ones (donuts, tarts, etc) when & if those ever come back on the menu/ if I decide to ever come back here again honestly... probably should just have told the waitresses that the vegan bowl wasn't good maybe they could've switched it out----- maybe I should've told them heyyy can you wipe the table down and the seats----who knows? read more

I heard about this restaurant from a friend. They said it was really good and it was great! I recommend the gyoza for an appetizer. The cocktails were top notch. I recommend the "Old Fashioned" or the "Whiskey Sour". I will definitely be returning soon to try more stuff on the menu. read more

SO glad this place opened. Food is amazing. drinks are amazing. Service is amazing. Management is amazing. So happy that Evansville has this gem of a Ramen spot open. I have been multiple times and theyve knocked it put of the park every time. Couldn't suggest more highly!!!! read more

My wife and I tried 2nd language for the first time last night! The food was great. The server and the manager that we had were both top notch!! The manager was very hands on with us making sure we had everything we needed. He explained all the differences in the ramen dishes. We had two appetizers, two salads, one ramen and a desert, we both left stuffed!! We will definitely be back soon!!! read more
