Enjoyable dining experience with a nice selection of udon to yakisoba. The chicken on the yakisoba was grilled flavor and very tender. The service was very friendly and knowledgeable. The ambiance was trendy and clean with nice seating options. read more

Surprisingly delicious ramen spot in unexpected location - found this hidden gem as I was making my way back up to Portland from the Oregon coast. Very flavorful broth with generous portions of chashu and nice noodles. Sleek, hip vibes playing lively music, great location, and friendly, attentive staff too! I started with their Butter Edamame app which is edamame in a butter sauce and not something I've come across before. It was FANTASTIC!! The edamame comes with some kind of browned butter sauce and the flavor is just delicious! I then went for their signature AI Ramen which comes with a pork broth and chashu and I got the shrimp add-on. Their topping portions are VERY generous, the broth is savory and flavorful and the noodles and chashu were perfectly cooked. You seat yourself but they offer table service even though this appears like a fast-casual type of spot. Service is so friendly and attentive. Everything is spotless and the aesthetic is very modern and sleek. They're located in a large shopping area with tons of parking and other shops to explore. I thoroughly enjoyed my lunch here! read more

This place is NOT gluten free. Thankfully I double checked prior to eating my meal. They offer gluten free noodles but the pork, noodles and broth contain soy sauce. I've called the place to inform them they are false advertising as having a "gluten free" option and the person working indicated they had previously raised this with the owner and the owner has not made changes to the menu to be transparent about gluten and non gluten containing items, this is very frustrating as someone who has celiac disease. I don't not recommend eating here. read more

Had the opportunity to be in Corvallis with my son and he is a fan of ramen so we decided to have lunch here. We both had the AI ramen and split a karaage. The karaage was well seasoned and even though the outside was crispy, the meat inside was juicy. The AI ramen had a bit of a burnt taste at the beginning, but as you ate more it went away and the broth was flavorful and the pork was tender. The staff was very friendly and attentive. Overall, a great experience and will definitely go again if the opportunity arises! read more

The service was fast despite there only being a few people. Food was quick to the table and very tasty. The gyoza was very good but they had no gyoza sauce so I settled for soy sauce. read more

Broth is salty, but delicious. Finally, a ramen place with actual soft boiled eggs and juicy pork belly. I did not care for the bamboo shoots in the dish, but overall better than average for ramen in Oregon. The service is pretty hands off. You order and then they walk away and boom in a few minutes you have ramen and then the check. I love that the place is clean and looks professional. However, it's very quiet so I wouldn't want to necessarily gather here to have a lunch date. Could get awkward. read more

Ai Ramen - Spicy Miso Ramen - Ramen Near Me - Corvallis, Oregon

Very disappointing food and service. There were signs on the table with a QR code to view the menu and order. As we were trying to look up the menu a waiter brought us menus, but no further instruction, so we still ordered online (he came back WAY LATER to take our order.) We waited over 30 minutes for our food and our drinks arrived with our food. The ramen was lukewarm to cold and not that great. Still hadn't received our appetizer, so had to ask. We didn't receive it until we were done eating our ramen. Ordered the karaage, which looked completely unappetizing and didn't taste much better. It didn't even look like it was cooked through as the batter still looked floury in spots. It's a cute spot, but the food and service aren't worth it. read more

One of the best Poke bowls I've had. The service was quick and they were friendly. We did take out and ordered Vegan Ramen, Gyoza, Edamame, and Poke Bowl. Everything was delicious. We will be back! read more

Their kitsune udon & potato croquette are really great- but other than that it was really disappointing :( We were given the wrong order & the waiter was not helpful or considerate about it... Just said they "didn't hear vegetarian so they didn't write down vegetarian" even though others at the table confirmed vegetarian was was said. It was just really awkward, because the waiter didn't offer any help or solution. So two of us got ramen (neither getting what they wanted since they had to switch), and then two of us got poke bowls. The poke was really really salty and came out 20 minutes after our friends had gotten their ramen- the waiter warned us would happen after they brought out the ramen, so there was an attempted heads up. But we werent given an alternative option to order noodles instead & eat at the same time as our friends. It was just an overall awkward and bad dining experience... which is a bummer! I know the place has a few good things on the menu, but this experience definitely ruined it for me :( read more

I was craving soup so decided to try this even though it was almost empty. Now I know why so few people were there. Service was friendly, but had to ask for a menu at the register. Didn't appear to be a table waiter type of place. No menu posted. Ordered the AI Ramen- no egg. A 16.00 bowl of soup? This better be really good. Eh. Next time I am looking for a warm, not hot, bowl of spaghetti tasting noodles in an ok broth with canned corn, canned bamboo shoots and three thinly sliced pieces of pretty tasteless pork, I will go here. Very average. Should be priced in the 8.99 range. Wasn't bad, just wasn't very good. There were bins to the side so I bussed my own table. No one thanked me for coming. Won't go back. Too expensive for a mediocre product. read more

The food was amazing, atmosphere could use a little help. Good parking, easy to get too. Serious was good.

Our favorite stop when visiting our son at OSU. Love the poke bowls! Excellent food and service.

Cool little spot. I wish the food and service were better. The spicy miso ramen was mid, and an extra item I added was missing. The bacon wrapped quail eggs were not good and had a weird texture. Plzzz don't make me ask for water read more

Thank you yelper for your reviews as we are hard core ramen fans. This is located in a strip mall and is a slower paced, spacious type of fast food restaurant - though they do serve you, bring the menu, take your order, etc. You can pick any table to sit at - there's two large tables in the center and a handful of 2 or 4 person tables on the far left hand side when you walk in. Started with the potato croquette and takoyaki which came out piping hot! Wait before diving in. both were good, though slightly sparse in filling (1 small piece of tako / octopus in the takoyaki and a few carrots/corn in the croquette). The ramen are BIG and filling and delicious. The ai ramen was the best of the batch as the pork broth is rich and flavorful, the shoyu ramen is lighter and as it's base is a chicken broth, reminded me of a wonderful chicken soup with yummy Japanese flavors and bites and the spicy miso ramen is equally good with the Ai Ramen, though it was a little too spicy for me (i'm a spice wimp so please take with a grain of salt. I like mild spice and this ramen was more a medium spice). The servers were friendly and helpful. If the appetizers were as good as the ramen (and the ramen was delicious) this would earn 5 stars. I'd definitely go back and stick with the ai ramen! read more

I honestly loved this place! The service is great and the restaurant is spacious and aesthetic. I shared the Ai Ramen, Tuna poke and a Takoyaki order with my friend and it was plenty. The poke is soooo good!!! This is a new menu item and it's so worth trying. The ramen bowls are huge and yummy, which makes it worth it in my opinion. read more

This place is close to where I stay so I am sure I will return. We both had the cha shu ramen which I guess was the thinly sliced pork belly? It didn't look like cha shu I've eaten all my like but it was good and I don't miss the red dye. The broth was pretty good, noodles were okay. The egg was perfect. Even the bamboo shoots were good. The kamaboko was good - thinly sliced - which is good. I could have used another slice or two. read more

Restaurant is very unorganized. if its not originally spicy they wont allow you to make it spicy. waiter I had was very rude and pushy. gave me a menu took my drink order and within 30 seconds demanded my food order... for a restaurant with only 3 tables (9 people total) my ramen shows up ---- enough mushrooms to populate a small garden. took my first bite of broth it was absolutely disgusting. tasted like powders pork seasoning with water added i had to dump a whole container of hot sauce and soy sauce to give it some kind of flavor this restaurant is also very expensive for the small portions you get compared to other ramen restaurants 18$ for ramen and a diet pepsi with no extras staff also brought my check 10 mins into me attempting to eat this "ramen" read more

My mom's ramen was not hot and she had an egg shell in her soup. She requested no green onions, but still had it. The guy bringing it even said no onions. The cook and the lady worker argued a few times as we watched them as we ate at the counter. They were swamped today from OSU graduation. read more

Happy to see a ramen place in Corvallis, I wish they were around when I was at OSU! Ai Ramen hits the spot. The restaurant is quite spacious so you're not too close to other parties. The workers are very friendly and attentive, always filling up water at the right time. They even let us stay after our meal so my group could talk story which I thought was really nice even though there weren't people waiting for a table. They are very generous with the amount of toppings and I love that the ramen egg is included. The edamame and karaage chicken were great to split across the table. I will say it's a little pricey for a college town but I believe it's worth the treat. I think a happy hour apps and drinks would do really well in Corvallis but regardless definitely give them a try! read more

A nice find in Corvallis. Although the veggie choices are few, the ramen meal I had was delicious.

The only place in this area where I had to stop the server and tell them that this place has one of the best Poke bowls I've ever had (hard to say if you've been to Hawai'i). Lots of open seating and a fun place to hang out and get ramen. read more

Delicious ramen spot! We had been driving for a few hours and were starving. At first we didn't know what we wanted to grab and take back to our hotel room. Saw that there was a ramen spot near by, and we are always in the mood for ramen! We were very basic and got the shoyu and spicy miso ramens. Both had such wonderful flavors and everything was cooked perfectly! read more

Open for dine in! Really enjoyed the ramen here, talked to the owner and was told that their ramen broth is bone broth that has been cooked for 12 hours and the chasu pork takes a day to make. It literally melts in your mouth when you eat it. I love that they are not afraid to put more traditional toppings in their ramens such as wood ear and bamboo shoots. The broth is a good amount of rich and they even use black garlic oil in the ai ramen! Thats not very common at ramen restaurants I have been to, but a truly coveted ingredient for me. I would say i prefer the broth a little more hot but may just be a personal preference. I also tried their karaage and it was REALLY juicy and tasty. Truly impressed by that. I would love to come back for other ramens and also their other japanese dishes. They really put effort into what they're doing! Its a five star review but yelp removed mine originally. read more

This place is great! Fresh, clean, and they play hip hop. The food is very good, but I would say it's slightly on the higher price range. I was satisfied and almost licked my bowl clean anyway though. I had the AI ramen, and paid $15. I would definitely pay $15 again but just wouldnt spend extra on drinks or apps. Service was great, the ramen was so satisfying. There is a cheaper option which is the veggie udon for $10 which is nice. All the tempura sidea are within $1-$5. I hope this place does well, I can see it thriving once college students come back to town in the fall read more

Delicious food that gets from kitchen to table fast! To anyone thinking about trying their milk teas, just know that they're bottled and not made in house. I've tried the Ai Ramen, Shoyu Ramen, and Takoyaki - very solid choices that will fill you up. I think one improvement that could be made is the staff. All of the times that I've visited the restaurant outside of peak lunch or dinner hours, it seems that there's only been one server for the entire floor. Understandably, the server appears overwhelmed and wait times get longer. Please make sure your servers get the breaks they deserve! Other than that, I'll be visiting this restaurant more often because of their reliable consistency in food quality - my go-to for ramen in Corvallis read more

Daughter and I are here for some school activity tomorrow. Hungry she wanted some ramen and saw this place. It's clean and inviting here. I love tofu and the agadashi tofu is ok.

Great tasting Ramen. I order when I'm feeling the need for some veggies. Convenient to pick in Corvallis.

Not impressed. Canned corn in the Ramen I could have looked past but the bacon wrapped asparagus was a huge let down. The asparagus they used was the end stalk. It was so fibrous I couldn't bite into it. You guys should really consider using the nice tender top pieces. And the bacon was just barely cooked with the fattiest piece of bacon I've seen. Really just an unpleasant meal that I didn't eat much of read more

We drove all way from Portland to Corvalis to try this Ai Ramen. We ordered Ai Ramen, Spicy Miso Ramen, Spicy Salmon Poke Bowl and Karaage Chicken. Ramen soup was the best here! We would have gone for second if we did not try other. Poke didn't have avocado and with the shallow bowl for $15, we would not order it never. $15 was too expensive for it. Karaage was OK. Chicken had fat. It was too greasy for us. We only go for Ramen soup noodles here. Service was great. Only a lady was working at the front and as a server. She prepared our both ramen. She boiled noodles just right texture and again, both ramen were worth to pay $15. Inside was so clean and bright! We only give 4 stars because of the Poke Bowl and greasy Karaage. We recommend all to try the Ai Ramen! read more
