    Afuri is conveniently located on Church street. Green P street parking is close by and not expensive. When you walk in to the open space it gives off a very chill vibe with exposed vents in the high ceilings. You can see right into the open kitchen where they diligently prepare your meal. They have a lot of options on the menu. I chose a mini tori karage which was fantastic. It was flavorful, not oily and I loved the egg salad that went with it. The tonkotsu charsu men was also delicious w thin noodles, super soft chicken char su/ poached chicken which was unfortunately cold (they probably made it ahead of time), delicious pork belly pork char su, and spicy miso. The ramen was piping hot and a good portion. It wasn't too big but wasn't too small. Since a ramen alone is $20-25, I'd highly recommend getting the combo for $30. The flavors are great and service is good. I would come back.

    Free ramen, full heart. I read online that Afuri Ramen offers a free ramen on your birthday, so I decided to check it out -- and yes, it's true! I went with my ID, and they actually gave me a free bowl of ramen. Totally worth it! The ramen itself was excellent -- beautifully balanced broth, fresh noodles, and clean flavors that hit all the right notes. They only have one vegetarian option, but it's well-executed and satisfying. Service was on the slower side, which I suspect was due to being slightly understaffed that evening, but the team remained friendly and attentive once at the table. The space is impressive -- high ceilings, plenty of seating, an in-house bar, and mellow background music that makes it easy to linger. It's a great spot whether you're solo, on a date, or dining with friends. Overall, a great experience and a solid pick for quality ramen in a lively, comfortable setting -- with an extra bonus if you happen to be celebrating your birthday!

    Ok Afuri ramen's Kara Tsuyu Tsukemen is one of my favourite bowls of ramen in the city. You can also get the spicy version too if you like though I've only tried the non-spicy. I love the refreshing citrus taste and that you can choose to enjoy it cold so perfect for the summer months. It's generally quite easy to score seats here. I love the big floor to ceiling windows and the layout of the seats where you can enjoy dine-in with a group of friends or even dine-solo if you want. The others that had their shio and this other spicy ramen in broth (forgot the exact name), didn't enjoy theirs as much as mine. So definitely recommend the tsukemen here. We also enjoyed the hamachi ceviche. I like the fried soft shell crab but my SO says it taste a little hard to be soft shell maybe just his piece. PS they also have a birthday special where you can get a bowl of ramen for free on the day of your birthday.

    Lovely ramen place with ramen noodles done to perfection and made in store. Soup bases so rich and flavourful. Some interesting creations like yuzu shio Chicken meat very tender, charsiu has a touch of sweetness . The combo portion was on point. Yuzu limonade was refreshing. Combos starting at $30 including an appetizer, a noodle/ rice bowl and a drink. Happy hour from 2-5pm, Mon-Fri only. Service was great, interior design was clean, spacious and beautiful with high ceiling. Highly recommended. Just as good as their Vancouver location Free wifi Free vanilla ice cream with Google review

    Afuri is a great spot to grab some hot ramen and karaage when you have evening cravings. The restaurant is open concept and you can see the chef working away near the bar. They have bar, bench, and regular tables and should be able to accommodate 40+ patrons at a time. The high ceilings and the street view is pretty nice at night and gives a nice ambient feel to the meal. Service was quick, 20 mins ish for ramen and fried chicken and the staff was attentive with our water refills. We got the following: - Yuzu Ratan (pretty strong yuzu flavor and strong broth) - Kara Tsuyu (dry noodle with dipping sauce, nice and light) - Tori Karaage (big pieces of fried chicken with LOTS of sauce) The meal was very filling and enjoyable and the price was great for the quality and quantity of food. Will be back to try their unique non-alcoholic beverage, hard shell tacos, and sushi rolls next time.

    We came to Afuri to celebrate a birthday. On the day of your birthday, you get a free ramen bowl of either yuzu shio and hazelnut tan tan. Wasn't a fan of the nut options in hazelnut tan tan so we ordered the yuzu shio. The broth tasted too clean, missing the richness of bones and light on salt. On the side, we ordered hamachi tartare and spicy tori kaarage. Great options as appetizer. It was busy when we visited so service was scrambling to meet the restaurant's demands.

    Casual dining atmosphere with good service. Tried the Yuzu shio which was salty with an aftertaste of tarte. For my liking, it was too sour and the yuzu overpowered the dish, though I can see how some people would enjoy this flavour profile The tonkatsu chashu men was also okay. I expected the broth to be richer with more umami, but it was quite normal tasting. The noodles were perfectly cooked with the perfect amount of chewiness for thin noodles. 3/5 stars because I expected the flavour of the broths to be more special given their price

    Came for my sister's birthday and had such a lovely time. Our server was friendly and courteous, and let us choose where we'd like to sit. There's plenty of seating inside great for a solo meal or groups of 2-6. They have this great promotion where they give you a free bowl of ramen for your birthday, just show your ID! Here's what we ordered: * Tonkotsu Chashu Men $24.95 (free birthday meal) * Poke Salmon Tacos $13.95 The ramen broth was flavorful and delicious. The taco was perfectly crunchy and the salmon was so tasty and fresh. Highly recommend! The interior is lovely, with high ceiling, concrete walls, and a full service bar. 20250717

    I did a review for Afuri Ramen when they opened but can't find it on Yelp. I loved it so much I went here for my birthday! I was excited to get my free ramen at Afuri Ramen for my birthday! You just show your ID. When I arrived with a friend I was warmly greeted by Tumul who gave us excellent customer service during our delicious lunch! We arrived early at 11:30am and beat the lunch rush. The ambiance was nice and spacious and I loved all the sunlight coming through the big windows. The only choice for my birthday ramen was called Yuzu Shio and everything about it was delicious but it was a chicken broth. I prefer pork broth and maybe I could have asked for it next time. YUZU SHIO shio tare, chicken broth, chi-yu, menma, greens, chashu, egg, nori, yuzu, thin noodle My friend really enjoyed his Hamachi Don which he ate so quickly! It looked colourful too. HAMACHI DON yellowtail, poke sauce, onion, scallion, hazelnut rayu, sesame, sushi ginger, kizami nori, sushi rice We also shared two appetizers which we really loved! Except the Spicy Pork Tacos were way too spicy for me. POKE SALMON TACOS crispy gyoza shell, salmon, scallion, poke sauce, sushi ginger, radish, lime aioli, micro greens, lime SPICY PORK TACOS crispy gyoza shell, toban-jan miso pork, cucumber, onion, spicy miso, lime aioli, radish, chives, sweet soy glaze, lime The good food and great customer service really made my birthday special! Big thanks to Yumul and the chefs!

    Afuri is famous for the yuzu ramen and now they offer 3 courses menu for $29.95. Great deal with great taste. The spicy kaarage is huge for a side.

    Jackson L.

    Ramen is delicious and has a sour finish from the yuzu broth, though I'd advise to not get the spicy flavoured one - the spice basically drowns out the rest of the flavours.

    Been to this restaurant before. Loved the ramen and the appetizers they offer. The service was good but could be better as when my partner wanted to pay for the bill, no one was there for awhile to assist him. Place was spacious and enjoyed the vibe. But the portion is a bit smaller compared to other ramen spots for the price.

    Friendly staff and a warm atmosphere is what's guaranteed when you visit this place! If you don't know which side or ramen bowl to go with, just ask what they recommend. You won't be disappointed I went in ok Monday at around 3:30pm and I'm shocked there were only a few people there. For this quality and the neighborhood I would expect this place to be packed but I guess my timing was also a bit unusual That being said, folks started to trickle in around 4:30pm. Anyways, loved the spicy Tori Karaage and Edamame. Now about the ramen, I got the yuzu ratan and boy... did the broth hit the spot! As for the pork, it wasn't as flavorful as I would've hoped but it was really good! The cheesecake as you can see from the pictures looked a bit burnt but don't let that fool! That's how a basque cheesecakes are supposed to be and it was so delicious with the yellow yuzu sauce Overall, I can't recommend this place enough

The seafood and tonkotsu broth was rich, savory, and full of flavor. It was a little too salty to drink on its own, but perfect for dipping the noodles. The only thing to note is that the cold noodles stayed quite firm even after sitting in the broth for a while, so if you prefer a softer texture, I would recommend asking for hot noodles instead. The soft-boiled egg was also really good, slightly sweet, chilled, and very flavorful. We also tried the Spicy Red Miso ramen, which was not actually very spicy and leaned a little sweet. The broth was pleasant, though my teammate felt there were so many onions and green onions that they covered some of the miso flavor. The chashu, however, was excellent, with a really nice balance of lean meat and fat without feeling greasy. The takoyaki was classic and well done, crisp on the outside, soft in the middle, with generous pieces of octopus inside. The karaage was also very solid, crispy outside and juicy inside, with a seasoning that had a clear ginger and cooking wine aroma. Overall, a very enjoyable meal, especially if you like rich broths and comforting Japanese side dishes.

My friend had the King of Kings as our server said this is one of their most popular choices. I opted for the Spicy Charsu. Now I understand some people can't handle heat but I live off of Purple Tongue hot sauce which is made with some pretty hot peppers. I asked for a level one and the lady explained that the spice level on the Charsu was a whole series of levels higher than the King of Kings. I get that . Give me the heat. Anywho, she was comfortable with giving me 0.5 but said I could make it hotter if need be. Ok, better to start smaller I guess. They put some sauce on the side which I added to my bowl. Personally I found the 0.5 a nice tingle; it was good. Made my nose run. But I'm totally getting the level 1 next time. My friend however tried a sip of my broth, spit it out and said poison poison because of the heat Mind you, his King of Kings was a level 1. Which to me tasted creamy and delicious. I love a good pork bone soup and I opted for the Spicy Charsu because of the pork bone base. I loved the broth. It was perfection. The noodles were so fresh . The portion size was enormous. I kept eating and more noodles appeared. The Charsu had an amazing flavor to it . Smoky and delicious . My friend is a larger man and even he commented on the portion size saying he would be ok with a smaller size as he was so full. Good portions for your money. We also had the Gyoza and the TakoYaki. The TakoYaki was soft and loaded with the delicious sauce. The Gyoza were enormous. We were both 100% satisfied with our visit and will be back for sure.

The concerned server told me that it may be painful, but being the chili head that I am, I gladly took on the challenge. It was a larger bowl than their regular size and my ramen came topped with lots of corn, some mushrooms, bean sprouts and 6 large pieces of chasu. The broth was magma red, but it was not as spicy as I thought it would be. Don't get me wrong, it was spicy but not to the point where it would warrant a warning. The spicy broth tasted like a mix of Buldak sauce and Capsaicin, but didn't have much depth. I finished my ramen, broth and all and enjoyed most of the experience. The least favorite was the chasu and the egg as chasu did not taste fresh, and I could not taste the char on them at all. The egg was over-cooked and under marinated which was disappointing. It's still one of the few ramen options in Durham but can't say it's comparable to the other Kenzo locations.

    Tips: - You get a stamp card for ramen. Each time you order…read moreramen, you earn a stamp. Five stamps gets you free gyoza. Reach ten stamps and you get a free bowl of ramen. - The chashu is excellent! My rating is 4.5 stars. I'm rounding down. Last Tuesday, I had my monthly 7 am meeting with a bunch of technical writing peers from around the world. It's quite the meeting that typically lasts for four hours. Luckily, we ended earlier than usual. It meant that my workday ended at around 3:30 pm. It was perfect, as I had a concert to attend several hours later. Normally, I don't do dinner before a concert. I grab a quick bite to each before I head downtown. This time, since I was done work early, I felt that having an early dinner was worthwhile. I drove downtown and parked in a lot that seems to be my usual spot whenever I'm attending a concert at Massey Hall. My original plan was to find an eatery close to the concert venue. I spotted Hokkaido Ramen Santouka steps away. I wanted ramen! I walked in and there was a sign that said to wait. I had no wait time. A woman and the entire staff greeted me. I asked for a table for me and got one. It was great. Seating between tables and diners is close together. You definitely overhear conversations and you can't help it. The man next to me had stretched his foot under my table. I didn't notice that he was in my space until I uncrossed my leg and my foot hit his. I listened to two friends next to me. The man seemed to take charge over what he and his female friend should eat, which was interesting. He gave the impression that he was an expert until the server came over and he had a ton of questions. It's always fun being an observer and listener. I had no choice but to listen to her dating experiences. I got a menu. I knew what I wanted. My server came over and was ready to take my order. I got these items: - Diet Coke - Miso chachu ramen, with bamboo shoot held - Jammy egg and corn as extra toppings The menu doesn't tell you what ingredients you get in each type of ramen. However, it does come with a photo. I asked how large a large bowl of ramen was. My server was great pointing up to a display of three bowls. I went large. The photo indicated that my miso ramen had bamboo shoots. I'm not a fan of them, so I asked that they be omitted. I also added a jammy egg and corn. I got a cold can of Diet Coke. A frosted glass with ice accompanied it. I was happy. I love an icy cold drink. This one was excellent. I loved that it was extra cold. My bowl of ramen had arrived. I was excited to dive in. My miso chachu ramen was delicious. The miso flavour was on point. I drank most of the broth, which speaks volumes on how yummy it was. The chachu was tender and had the best balance of pork and fattiness. The number of slices was generous. The ramen was chewy and perfectly done. I loved the corn and jammy egg. I probably wouldn't have enjoyed my ramen without these two key toppings. They worked nicely with the green onions. What prevents me from giving this place a perfect rating is flagging a server to get me water, or to frankly flag any staffer for something, such as ordering dessert or getting the bill. It took effort and hand-waving to get their attention. It took two tries to get a glass of water with ice. I was happy when I got some after I had finished my Diet Coke. It was equally as cold and yummy. I ordered dessert. The menu is stuck on each table. I asked what ice cream flavours were available. There were two flavours and I went with matcha. It was rich, creamy, and full of strong matcha flavour. The scoop of ice cream was generous. I loved the small spoon, which allowed this dessert to last a lot longer. I asked for the bill. I got a payment machine. I used my credit card to pay and tip. All was great. I used the washroom before I headed over to explore the downtown area. The washrooms are downstairs. It's an older building, so accessibility is an issue. There are two single-stall washrooms. The one that I used was clean. Because it's an older building, the ceiling is low. I am just shy of six feet in height. I made it without hitting my head on the ceiling. If you are six feet and taller, you'll need to duck to make sure you don't bang your head. Staff say goodbye to you when you leave. It was a nice touch, although I don't know what they are saying to me in Japanese. They could be swearing at me and I wouldn't know. I had a wonderful experience here. If you don't mind sitting close to folks and waving your arms like a maniac to get your server's attention, come here. This ramen joint appeared as a Michelin place in 2017. I can see why. The food quality is excellent. (200)
