The ramen is great, but the peppered chicken and the Bushido Buns are astounding! We've gone for appetizers before someplace else, for the full meal experience, and sometimes you just need great ramen. Definitely recommend. read more

You need to add Bushido Ramen on your list of spots to try next; it's delicious! Came here on a chilly day and it was the perfect thing to warm up with! The staff are all so welcoming and the atmosphere here is fun & authentic! Staring with the Bushido buns is a must!! The buns are fluffy & tasty, & the crispy pork with the Bushido sauce is delicious! The gyoza were awesome & both the teas were extra refreshing; I am a big fan of the lychee flavor! Both the ramens are packed with flavor and the portions are massive! No question, this is the best ramen spot in the Dayton area I've been to, I highly recommend it! read more

This is such a cute little ramen shop! There is a decent amount of parking near the store, but I could see it being hard to find a spot when it is really busy. We were greeted a few minutes after we walked in and were shown to a table. The inside is so much fun and there are figures all around the store that you can even purchase if you would like. It is a lively ambiance and almost every table and spot was filled while we were there. Service was a bit slow, although it seems like there is only one waitress for the whole restaurant, so just be prepared. It also took a fair amount of time for our food and drinks to come out. The ramen actually beat my drink out, and even the ramen took a decent amount of time. Again not the end of the world as we enjoyed chatting and enjoying the restaurant, just a bit surprised as most ramen restaurants that I have been to usually have the food out pretty quickly. Everything was tasty! It wasn't the most flavorful tonkotsu ramen I have ever had, but I definitely enjoyed it. The matcha was also good. Definitely on the sweet and more milky side, but I would still get it again. Cute little shop that provided a nice, cozy meal on a chilly day! read more

The food was really flavorful and filling. The delivery was quick through DoorDash to my hotel. Since I did not go in store, I cannot speak to the ambiance. The lychee tea was fruity and refreshing but I was disappointed that it came with no lychee pieces nor ice as the menu stated. I ordered an onigiri that was out of stock, but I fortunately got a refund. I would recommend this place if you are in the area. read more

Great ramen place in the area! Very cozy and well decorated. Staff are all super friendly and pretty on top of everything. A lot of their items on the menu were delicious, recommend the Pepper chicken! Super flavorful! Bushido buns were good but they were huge! Thought they'd be smaller but it's enough to be your meal. Tried the bushido black ramen, great flavor especially with the black garlic oil! Their ramen does have a lot of noodles! Would prefer more broth than noodles but overall it was super good especially for the cold weather. read more

Stopped in here in a whim (ok, I was hungry so it wasn't totally unexpected) when I was driving home in a cold morning. "Ramen" on the sign called to me and I answered. Great little spot squeezed in between two other business with the "trendy" austere decor. It's a little loud for my tastes but fits with the theme, I guess for the restaurant. Ramen broth had good depth and flavor, and there was a decent selection in the menu. I was able to get in and out relatively quickly, in a time fitting for a lunch break. read more

Shamelessly back again, but this time I brough the entire clan. As expected, everyone loved their ramen. Even the kiddos commented on how much better this place was compared to the last place we went. They even had a yummy blueberry tea they were promoting so we got a few cups of it. That was very refreshing! This time I tried their bushido bao, and it got weird. But in the best way. Their meat they used was beautifully crispy, dipped in this tangy sauce. This sauce made me double take, as it brought me to a childhood memory. I was the weird person who sniffed their food.. because I couldnt believe it. The bread? Fluffy white as it should be. Combined, perfection. The owner came around and can be seen chatting it up with the peeps in the store. You can tell he was proud of this rounds of improvement to this dish. I dont blame him. My only regret was that there was no more room in my stomach to fit it at that time. As a Chinese NYC native transplanted to Ohio... this was big for me on the inside. Sooooo...... yes. Come. Eat. Be absolutely satisfied! I cant wait to see more of his food exploration! read more

Went here for dinner and it was perfect for winter time! The boa bun was delicious! Definitely recommend starting with one! The soup was good (little salty for my liking) but still good! I would come back to try a different soup! Staff were attentive, and very friendly. The restaurant itself was clean, they had anime show playing in the background and games available to play with friends. Great place to hang out! read more

If you are interested Dayton-go here for a great Japanese food. Great interior decorations. The staff were very nice and service was good(a tad bit slow). But the food is amazing. One of the best restaurants I have eaten recently. Get their Bao- crunch on the outside and juicy on the inside. I tried the Karage Curry(I have eaten a lot of curries), the flavors are amazing and the crunchy chicken was superb. Haven't tried their Ramen yet, but that's for my next visit. Definitely go here if you are looking for Japanese food. Highly recommend. read more

Nice ramen spot in the area! There's plenty of parking in the front, side and even back. I was worried about the AC comments but it was working. The service was great, waitress was friendly and attentive to my water. Due to the heat I got a complimentary banana strawberry green tea which was refreshing! I ordered the black garlic ramen. It was good, the thin ramen noodles were a little soft for me but the broth was good. The soy egg was delicious and the chasu slice was big. Serving size was good. I also had the takoyaki, outside was super crunchy and inside was very soft and not doughy. I enjoyed my meal. Would recommend, satisfied my craving. read more

We tried Bushido Ramen today. They opened last month and it has been pretty busy. So we were waiting for it to settle down a little. I ordered "Bushido Black." Soup temperature was good. It must be very hot. this is important! A lot of Ramen shops in US serve at too low of a temperature. But it was hot and the toppings were very good. Another good thing, there was salt, pepper and Japanese chili powder on the table. You usually don't get pepper on the table here but in Japan, all ramen shops put pepper on the tables. Even though it was 89 degrees outside and their AC was not working it was still a good meal. We will go again went they have the AC fixed or it is cooler outside. read more

This place is a gem. Excellent food (nice big portions, too!) at a REALLY reasonable price, very friendly and attentive staff, and a fun ambiance especially for fans of anime. The owner, Victor, was kind enough to invite my two toddlers to come watch him use that big noodle cutting machine. They were impressed, haha! I'll be very glad to visit again soon! read more

Bushido Ramen - Kettering, OH First time checking out Bushido Ramen and it did not disappoint! I tried the Bushido Red first--packed with bold flavor and a nice spicy kick. Came back for round two and ordered the Spicy Miso, the next day and wow... it's rich, savory, and full of depth. Definitely a new favorite spot. The vibe inside is just as awesome as the food--anime fans, you're gonna love it here! The walls and ceiling are decked out with action figures and anime decor from all your favorites like One Piece, My Hero Academia, and more. It's like stepping into a ramen shop straight out of a manga panel. Great food, cool atmosphere, and friendly staff. If you're into ramen or just want something different, Bushido Ramen is absolutely worth the visit. 2607 Wilmington Pike, Kettering, OH (937) 640-3618 bushido-ramen-shop.square.site @BushidoRamenShop read more

Updated review So, my friend wanted to check out this place even though I was feeling a bit unsure about it. But let me tell you, the food was really good! I went with the BUSHIDO BLACK -- super tasty broth, and the Karaga chicken was amazing. My friend thought it wasn't cooked enough, but I thought it was just right. I also grabbed some fried rice to take home -- it was seasoned really well. The staff was super friendly and polite. The place is pretty small and could probably use some gnat traps because there were quite a few. I'd definitely come back, but probably just for takeout since I don't like gnats. read more

Honestly, pretty solid for Dayton ramen! Service was okay but I did come during dinner so it was a long wait. Ambiance was solid.

I went to the restaurant a week ago and i ordered the creamy chicken ramen. The broth lost some of its richness, the chicken was not as seasoned, and overall it wasn't as good as the first time. I'm hoping this was just a one off occurrence. read more

Allow me to preface this with that I never, NEVER write reviews. But the friendly owner/chef, Victor, his friendly staff, and the AMAZING, DELICIOUS food warrants my first ever Yelp review. There's already photogenic pictures of the food here, so allow me to share this photo of my daughter and Victor perusing through this restaurant's new candy/anime figurine section. :) Best ramen in Ohio!!

I ordered takeout for dinner from here while in the area for work on a weekday. The interior is anime themed and nicely decorated! I didn't stay inside long so I didn't really see the whole place. I ordered the black garlic ramen with chashu and extra chashu ($5). It tasted better than how it looks in the picture lol. The soy egg was a little bland, but cooked well, and I wish it came with 2 halves not just 1, otherwise I might have paid extra for more egg. I liked the choice of toppings (mushrooms, corn, bamboo shoots, green onions). The amount of noodles was plenty, but even though I picked it up freshly hot, the noodles were all stuck together and didn't separately nicely even after they were put in the hot broth. The chashu looked like it was going to be really disappointing based on the pale color, but the flavor was actually a solid 3.5 or 4/5. The broth also had pretty good depth. My takeout was ready on time which I always appreciate! I saved this place for reference if I'm ever back in the area again. read more

We ordered the calamari which came with a dip of kewpie mayo and spicy mayo, bushido pork buns, spicy edamame beans, tonkatsu ramen, one milk tea with popping boba and one fruit tea with popping boba. Every single thing was delicious, but the bushido pork buns were my favorite! The restaurant was clean and had lots of anime figurines around as decor. The staff was very friendly and chatted with my kid about favorite kpop music. They have some refrigerators toward the front with unique beverages and snacks (wasabi peas, Pocky, etc). I seriously cannot wait to go back. Those pork buns are addicting. read more

Two visits and both times enjoyed the food. Warning that people have heard about this hidden gem so it was packed both visits and not much space for waiting. We've tried both "chef recommended" ramen bowls and the Vegan miso, black garlic oil is the standout. Also the chicken karage and pepper chicken are a must! The staff are extremely attentive (water is always filled) and the place definitely has a vibe... there's a lot going on. read more

Mediocre. Had the runs after eating food I could have went to "Wat da Pho", but it's not one in the area.

We enjoyed the spice and flavor of the Bushido Red and Spicy Miso ramen dishes. Some of the best ramen we have had, loved the thin noodles. For our appetizer, we had the Takoyaki, which also had excellent flavor. The staff were friendly and attentive. Highly recommended and we look forward to returning. read more

I was surprised to find a pretty authentic ramen shop here near Dayton. I previously lived in Hawaii, and have a good amount of ramen tasting, and I can say this is one of the spots that I'll come back again for sure! The food was great, and very tasty.

Bushido Ramen is FANTASTIC!! Every single thing I've ever ordered was absolutely omg delicious my all time favorites are the gyōza and Bushido buns, but the Bushido black ramen bowl is a must try too!

Literally every single thing on their menu is excellent They also have an awesome selection of Japanese drinks, candies and snacks, as well as fun anime merchandise and figures for sale too! The staff are all extremely kind and welcoming, every single time we've been in there (including being extra nice to my baby ).

Brand new restaurant that already is the best ramen in Dayton. Shout out to their spicy miso ramen, so hard to find a place that uses real spicy miso. Their appetizers are great too. Staff were happy and proud of their spot. I wish them luck and will be back! read more

Tried this place for the 1st time today with my fiance. It was great. I had the cotton candy milk tea boba I would highly suggest that. We also had calamari that was very big and very yummy. And I tried the creamy chicken ramen and my fiance had the spicy version of the creamy chicken ramen very good and the staff said it's important to stir it up to get all the flavors. Serving size is very big we left full and with leftovers. We will be back! read more

The food and drinks are absolutely delicious! We had three different ramens, mini bowl, bun, and edamame. The broth is smooth, rich, creamy, with good umami flavor. The red has a nice heat to it but a good flavorful heat. Staff were very friendly and only a short wait for food. It's a nice little shop with an open kitchen. The owner was apologetic for the warmth due to the HVAC being in need of an upgrade. Regardless I'll be back to try more from their menu. read more

Good portion. Limited menus .... Great combinations..., slow service. Good variety. Ingredients with ramen noodles base. Black garlic was mon existent ? read more

All the servers were really and the service was good. The ramen though. i got the spicy vegan ramen and the top ingredient was soy milk. i guess they use sweet soy milk and it made it taste like they poured a carton of chocolate milk in the broth. Also, 3 slabs of cold fried tofu. I'm usually cool with cold pre-cooked tofu but cold pre-cooked tofu that was covered in spicy chocolate milk is just not my thing. They're new and feeling their way around. i really dont want to talk a bunch of crap about them, maybe they'll change their recipe, but buyer beware. read more
