Amazing Thursday evening dinner at Fujiya! The tables closest to the street are so nice to sit at in the summers since the breeze and weather are so nice :) Went with out classics - Takoyaki (best in pgh), karaage (best spicy mayo in pgh), and sometimes the gyoza but we decided to skip on that this time. I tried the yuzu ramen this time but subbed for the miso broth and wow it was delicious. Super fragrant and the yuzu is such a nice touch to the broth. They just came out with a curry udon and it is DELICIOUS! I wanted to switch entrees with my partner because of it! I will definitely be back. The curry is the perfect consistency and the best Japanese curry I've had in the area. The udon is so well cooked as well! I can't wait to go back and order it
Yakitori was definitely the highlight! We got the scallops, pork belly, shishito peppers, and shiitake mushroom skewers. I'd come back just for more yakitori and to try some of the appetizers next time. They have a yakitori set, which includes one of every skewer. The ramen was pretty standard, no complaints. I had the miso ramen, which was good and not overly salty. The flared ramen bowl made it feel like you were almost finished, but there was still a generous amount of noodles. The ramen egg was perfect - soft but not too runny - and the pork slices were thin, flavorful, and not too fatty. You get at least four slices, so I felt there was a nice balance between noodles and toppings. I loved the ambiance. The decor made it feel like a cozy local spot in Japan. Service was a little on the slow side. It took some time to flag down our waitress to order and again to get the check, but the food came out quickly once we ordered. Despite the slower service, the staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming.
Definitely the best ramen spot in Pittsburgh! The restaurant is small, but is decorated so you feel quaint and cozy. Had the garlic cucumbers and spicy miso ramen, which were incredible! Staff is welcoming and attentive! Again, it is a smaller spot, so be patient if they're experiencing a rush. Overall amazing place! Only downside are their hours being a bit odd, so be on the lookout if you're trying to pop in mid afternoon as they're typically closed then.
Still so good. Service is always so kind and informative and very patient with my dad who had a million questions. Best vegetarian ramen in town. Small place, advise to call ahead for seating.
First time here and I can honestly rank it pretty high on my list having been to plenty of Ramen places. I'll definitely come back excellent service!
We stopped in for restaurant week. It was very busy and hectic. Not really my vibe. We joined the online waitlist and got a text when our table was supposed to be ready. We were told the next tables were being cleaned for us and then a different lady skipped over us a couple of times and sat other people. I got the pork and chive gyoza and it was delicious. The filling was flavorful and the outside was nice and crispy. I got the Naruto Ramen and it was pretty good. I ordered bean sprouts with it and didn't get them. The noodles were cooked nicely and not overdone. I got a very small dessert of Taro flavored mochi ice cream. It was good, but extremely tiny. There were 2 servings on the photo, they put my husbands with mine. Overall, it was good. I don't know if I would go back unless they fix the wait system.
Even if you're not in the mood for ramen, Fujiya is a great spot! We decided to pop in on a cold snowy day, and it was definitely the right choice. We sat at the bar and got our drinks right away. We split the hot toddy, and it was full of flavor and was the perfect way to warm up after being outside. While we did feel it was a bit pricy, it was delicious nonetheless. We split several menu items, including yakitori, okonomiyaki, and pork buns. The crispy chicken yakitori was to die for, and I'm still thinking about the light, crispiness days later. The pork belly yakitori was cooked to perfection, and the chicken yakitori was tender, but the latter would have been better with a sauce or some additional seasoning. The okonomiyaki was such a delightful blend of texture and flavor, while not being overpowering. I am not usually a cabbage fan, but this blew me away! The pork buns were a solid finish. The pork was tender and juicy, and the sauce combo was a perfect blend of savory, sweet, and light spice. Service was a bit on the slow side, but the restaurant was busy and the staff were all incredibly friendly, so we didn't mind the wait at all. Highly recommend!
Found this ramen place through Yelp. It's a small spot but definitely worth the try. Good for date night but it's a little cramped, but it's nice! The chicken karage was great! I liked the spicy mayo sauce for it. The old fashion was ok not like a speakeasy taste but good for a ramen spot, same goes for the espresso martini. The chicken ramen was really good! I loved their broth! I've come here a few times and I always get the same thing, so not sure on the other things. Will definitely be back again for some ramen.
1/8/25 Ate List: Tonkatsu Ramen - Score 10 I have been going to this place since about 2017/2018. It's my favorite ramen spot in the city. I've kept it secret from most but now that it seems the secret is out by the number of videos I've seen on Instagram - Yes, the hype is real. The ramen here is incredible. When the season is right or I'm feeling a bit under the weather, I will get the Pork Tonkatsu ramen with an extra runny egg and I feel REVIVED. I feel instantly better every time I have it. I have CRAVED this dish and I will again soon I'm sure. Fujiya Ramen is the best.
Went back this past week after about a year since my last visit. Everything was perfect. My waitress was so lovely this time!! Super kind and knowledgeable. Food was SO delicious. Had my classic go-to Spicy Miso Ramen. Loved the Lychee martini- it was perfection. Also really enjoyed the Takoyaki- might be some of the best in the city. Overall, so glad I had a wonderful experience and will continue to give them business
Normal ramen but damn the skewers are where its at geez theyre freaking delicious. Get the pork belly (has a bit of fat).
The best ramen in Pittsburgh! I've only gotten the spicy miso ramen but it's so amazing, it blows my mind every time. The appetizers are delicious as well! The pork buns melt in your mouth. The pork and chive gyoza are great! Their drink menu is solid; lychee martini is perfect, and the seasonal specials have been great! The servers are always so kind and inviting. The space is small but cozy. It makes for a great date night!
Fujiya Ramen in Shadyside delivers legit flavor. I had the tonkatsu ramen and a mix of yakitori--chicken skin, eel, pork, and chicken--and everything was on point. The ramen was rich and creamy, super comforting, and the yakitori had great char and seasoning. Chill atmosphere, fast service, and definitely a go-to if you're craving something authentic.

This may be the best ramen I've had since being in Pittsburgh. I'm still open to new spots as I continue my market research to recreate my own ramen at home. Located in Shadyside, this joint is so cozy making it a great midday lunch stop or an evening joint to grab dinner and a drink. Don't sleep on the curry rice and karaage chicken either! read more
I came to Fujiya before and this second visit really sealed the deal for me. The restaurant is really cute and does remind me of izakaya / ramen places in Japan a lot. It's all in the details and they have a lot of small little cute details that reminds me of Japan. Their ramen is good. The broth could use a little more depth but the noodle quality is excellent. Today, I tried their pork and chive gyoza, chicken and green onion skewers, pork belly skewer and takoyaki this visit along with miso ramen. The takoyaki is piping hot and moist on the inside, exactly how it should be and the pork chive gyoza is big and plump. The skewers were seasoned SO WELL. I was getting so full but I will be back for more. I Service was good and everyone was so attentive. I will definitely be back for more skewers and small plates! read more

We stopped by on a whim yesterday on Monday around 7pm and there wasn't a wait for a table for two. The inside isn't big but it's super cute. Our food came out pretty quickly and it was delicious as always. I'm so grateful to have this spot in my little neighborhood! read more

Very cute and cozy spot with delicious ramen and good cocktails. We did lunch during restaurant week and the menu offered a great selection of items, including dessert. The service was excellent and everyone was very friendly. We will be back. Parking is a little tricky. read more
Best ramen hands down. Never disappointed when I go here. I always get the same things, spicy miso ramen, takoyaki and pork buns. I decided to try the soft shell crab buns and they were so good. Crispy and huge! Their seasonal old fashioned was tasty and balanced read more
The picture doesn't do justice since everything is half eaten but this place has pretty good ramen! I got the vegetable ramen and my friend and I split the vegetable tempura (delicious) and an asparagus and bacon skewer and a mushroom skewer. The asparagus and bacon was good but probably won't get them again. Our service was great. He was quick and very attentive. Our food came out at a decent time as well. This is a cute spot in shadyside if you're looking for ramen. Next time I want to try the rice box! read more

Ramen as good as everyone says, but also want to point out there are good options-- the traditional tonkatsu and miso but others as well. And don't sleep on the karaage appetizer. Friendly service and comfortable surroundings. read more
LIKE IT'S REALLY GOOD RAMEN.... Imagine this - it's a cold winter day in Pittsburgh, you're hungry and don't know what to eat, but you want something warm, hearty, and full of flavor. You decide you want a really good bowl of satisfying Ramen but don't know where to go in the Puttaburgh area? Well look no further - This is it! Fujiya Ramen in Shadyside is a quaint, little restaurant and bar, nestled right off the main strip that offers incredible ramen, good drinks, and a corner bar atmosphere where you'll always feel welcome. There is a bar area and only a handful of tables so keep that in mind when choosing when to come- if it's a busy evening or weekend you'll likely need to wait for a table. The Service we received was great and our food was ready quickly after ordering. I ordered a lychee-tini to start. My daughter got the Tonkotsu ramen and I got the spicy miso. They were both incredible and so flavorful. The pork goyza was also really nicely done and a perfect pairing with the ramen. Overall, fujiya was a great spot and I'll definitely be back. read more

According to Fujiya Ramen's website, this restaurant is run by a Japanese father and son who strive to serve authentic Japanese cuisine. In addition to ramen, their menu lists appetizers such as edamame and gyoza, entrees such as okonomiyaki and donburi rice bowls, desserts such as mochi and ice-cream tempura, and beverages such as tea and ramune. Prices are average for the industry. I ordered several foods from Fujiya Ramen's online menu. Here are my reviews for those foods: Fried-chicken katsu - 4.5 stars - This chicken katsu consisted of juicy meat that was covered in crispy panko breadcrumbs. My husband said that it tasted good. Chicken yakitori - 4.5 stars - This yakitori was smaller in size that I had expected, but it was juicy and flavorful. Nikuman - 4 stars - The buns were fresh, and the pork was fatty and tasty. Tempura vegetables - 4.5 stars - These vegetables included asparagus, broccoli, eggplant, onions, red peppers, and taro, and they were fried well. I have never been a fan of taro, but I thought that this taro tasted decent with the batter and sauce, and I really liked the other vegetables. Vegetarian ramen - 3 stars - This soup contained a good amount of noodles, mushrooms, spinach, bamboo shoots, egg, scallions, and corn. For some reason, I did not like the flavors of a couple of the ingredients, and I ended up picking them out. Beef ramen - 4.5 stars - This soup contained beef, mushrooms, egg, spinach, and scallions. My husband ate it and said that it tasted fine. I tried one spoonful, and I liked it. I would order from this restaurant again in the future so I can try several more of their menu items. read more
I love having Fujiya as a neighborhood ramen spot! The food is so good. My favorite ramen dishes are the spicy miso & the spicy yuzu, and the garlic cucumbers are a great light & flavorful appetizer to share. The restaurant has a great selection of hot teas as well which is served in a really cute tea service (the peach blossom is my favorite). Once you get seated, service is quick & your food orders come fast. Waiting to get a table, however, can be a pain. We were told that our wait would only be 20 mins, but we ended up waiting over 45. We only stayed for the wait because we knew the quality of the food was so good! The ambiance isn't really anything special, but you come to this place for the food anyway.

Ambiance: relatively busy even on weekday nights, so it's a great place to go if you want a livelier, bustling vibe. There isn't a lot of seating and the tables by the front are pretty cramped though. No outdoor seating. Food: Took 30 min to get even the apps, but it was super busy when I visited. The skewers were all delicious and not greasy, though they are pretty small. The gyoza is great as it's juicy and well-filled. For the spicy miso ramen, it wasn't spicy at all. Pork chasu and egg were perfectly cooked. I appreciated that the broth wasn't salty and the amount of vegetables in the ramen. read more

Wow! I consider myself somewhat of a ramen enthusiast, so I can't believe it's taken me this long to finally sample their food! My wife, two toddler aged boys and I came in on President's Day and were warmly greeted by our host and server and shown to a table. We were provided with high chairs and I was really impressed and pleased to see that it was a clean and functional chair! I feel like most places we go the chairs are broken and somewhat sticky/gross and so this is noteworthy to me. This restaurant has a nice ambiance and at the time we came they were several other small groups and everyone was happily chatting and enjoying large bowls of ramen. I'm sure our kids were a bit distracting, but the waitstaff made us feel welcome and were helpful in confirming additional food recommendations. We started with a share edamame appetizer and then also ordered two yakitori skewers (chicken and pork belly). The edamame and yakitori came out a few minutes before our gyoza which was then shortly followed by the ramen bowls. The portion of edamame was generous and gratefully devoured by our boys who were less interested in ramen. The yakitori had a great char on the chicken and made for tasty pork belly morsels too. The gyoza were out of this world good! They may have been my favorite part of the meal. They were slightly crunchy yet chewy, were loaded with meat and veggies, and had a great flavor. The ramen was also quite good! I found the chashu a little too fatty for my taste; however, the broth had rendered the fat very well and so it was almost completely imperceptible. The spiciness of the dish was good without being overwhelming, and the noodles were perfectly chewy without being over or undercooked. This really was a phenomenal meal and I would come back here in a heart beat to try more of the menu and come back for some more gyoza. read more

Updating an old review with a more favorable impression after dining in! Wow, this place is amazing. I liked it so much that I came back and ate here the very next day, and am already thinking about when my next visit might be. As with anything near Walnut, parking can be tricky to find. The restaurant itself is small and cozy but has a fun vibe. My tween daughter loved the novelty shirts on the wall, especially the one that said "my favorite type of men is ramen". Great selection of drinks - the Lolev matcha ale was quite good and paired well with spicy ramen. My daughter loved the ramune and tried the strawberry and blue Hawaii flavors, and enjoyed the novelty of the marble in the bottle. The yakitori - wow!! We tried the chicken, pork belly, and chicken skin. All were absolutely fantastic. I'd love to come back and try the yakitori platter because the flavors were amazing. The tonkatsu and miso ramen were both delicious, portions are generous! On our second visit, my husband and I split a bowl and both walked away happy. The tempura ice cream was fun though I think I'd opt for the Japanese cheesecake next time. Service was very friendly and I felt well taken care of! read more
We got the Oyakodon and Unagi Don, and both were good (4/5). I've came in the past and got ramen, which is also good (4/5). The service was pretty good, and the interior of the restaurant is nice! In the evening, it can get pretty busy, so you might want to check the waitlist online before showing up. read more

This place was an absolute 10/10 for me! Our server Eli was the best! he was so kind and gave amazing service. All of our food was delicious, especially the pork buns and the tempura shrimp. The pork buns were so soft and fluffy. The yakitori was very authentic to what I ate in Tokyo. Will definitely revisit soon! read more

I've gotten the Katsu curry twice now, once in person and once to-go, and it tasted amazing both ways! The katsu is crispy and flavorful and the curry is super rich. I love how it comes with the miso soup!! There seems to be one server at the restaurant but she kills it every time- she's super sweet and on top of everything; really appreciated her professionalism. read more
One of my favorite ramen spots in Pittsburgh! Love the decor all the way down to the dessert. The broth is always amazing and never too salty. Noodles cooked perfectly & I love all the options they have to offer. Service is always on point and I'm thankful to have something good so close! read more

It's great to be back after the pandemic! As was a tradition till four years ago, I loved my "mini vacation" into Japanese cuisine on my birthday. The prices are about typical for a ramen house (and middle of the road when it comes to restaurants... figure a bowl of Ramen soup to usually cost $18-$20), metered street parking is available and free after 6pm or Sundays, they do have a 5-6pm happy hour, and around 7:45pm we were seated quickly. Portion sizes are large! My wife would recommend a jacket just in case, because they can open up a huge glass window at the front of the shop, which I appreciate for the fresh air and wonderful smells as you approach the restaurant. The broth on my Tonkotsu Ramen was rich and flavorful in a way you don't get by adding an egg to dried ramen packets, the noodles are a special chewy, the spinach and scallions fresh and nutritious, and the pork belly slices are served almost translucent but the broth's heat tempers them as you eat. You can eat the pork early for a buttery, melt in your mouth experience, or eat those noodles and veg while they're chewy and crisp and come back to the pork later and it will have firmed up like boiled meat. There will be a couple spices at the very bottom of the bowl... be careful if you don't like bitter things! My wife thoroughly enjoyed her vegetarian ramen, though I would recommend asking about eggs if you don't eat them. I do think the little ramen house is cute, staff are quick and attentive, and the food is something special. I always have a great time, but between drinks and appetizers, I always spend like $60 and leave super full (but content!). Great for an unpretentious but special night out :) read more
