It's located inside a building with a cute coffee shop upstairs. The staff was friendly and welcomed us as soon as we walked in. There was no wait, so we were seated right away. The menu offered a variety of ramen options, and our server recommended the Shoyu ramen for my 3-year-old daughter. I added cabbage and mushrooms for some extra veggies. The food took about 15 minutes to arrive, so my daughter started getting a little restless, but as soon as the bowls hit the table, she was all smiles. The food was delicious, and we both enjoyed it. Most importantly, it earned the ultimate seal of approval--3-year-old approved! We'll definitely be back.

I chose the curry chicken katsu, which was generously portioned and came with pickled radish, kimchi, and a side salad. For about $15, this dinner was a steal. Service was quick! Would be interested in trying their desserts in the future.

The restaurant features an extensive drink menu that will suite anyone's pallet. We chose to start with the bread service which was killer especially the honey butter. All of the apps look d amazing but went for the dry rub duck wings with home made ranch. My only critic was I wish there were more than 3. Finished off with the shrimp and grits. Although, I wasn't in New Orleans the spiciness took me back there. The wait staff was great. Even though we were late for the reservation we were seated promptly and had multiple people taking care of us. Spoke & Steele is a must if you are staying in the hotel but also if you want a cool vibe for drinks and great food I would stop by and take a look.

If you're hunting for fresh sushi in downtown Indianapolis, Mt Fuji Japanese Cuisine delivers. We…read morecan't recommend the sushi enough, even the original/specialty rolls were excellent. The fish was so fresh, and you could genuinely taste the nori, which makes a huge difference. We branched out and tried the Kumamoto oysters too. Worth it. They're tinier than your typical oyster and came with a range of flavors from the seasonings and sauces. Honestly, we wish they'd been served more simply because we wanted to compare them to the ones we've had in Japan, and all the sauce made that tough. Still a fun order though. Skip the Seafood Pot, in our opinion. It tasted like Bird's Nest to us and just wasn't anything special compared to everything else. Bottom line: come for the sushi. It's the standout, and it's what'll bring us back. With ramen, hibachi, bubble tea, and a full bar also on the menu, there's plenty to explore on a return visit.

Once pointed out that they were in fact of age to order alcohol, she was pissed she had to make more drinks. Rolled her eyes and said "then what do you want." Then never asked our underage daughter if she wanted anything to drink at all. I had to interject mid "run by" the table. Then rushed us through ordering. The food was mediocre at best. Will not be back. There are way too many options in Indy to give this place another shot. Oh and drinks. Not that good.

The staff, drinks, food, music and overall atmosphere are consistently exceptional. The cocktail menu is fantastic. My personal favorite is the painkiller - a delicious blend of coconut, rum, orange, pineapple, and nutmeg. It's served in a skull glass and tastes absolutely perfect. I also appreciate that they make their noodles in house! Have you ever had a meal you can't stop thinking about? That's exactly how I feel about the shoyu ramen. It features their noodles, truffle zest, pork belly, egg, veggies and chicken in a deeply flavorful broth. Order a side of rice and dip it into the broth and thank me later! Patio seating available.

I had very high hopes coming here after all of the awesome reviews on this place, and I left a…read morelittle bit disappointed, because I personally don't think my experience lived up to the hype. We came in on a Friday night at 6:30 with no reservation, and had to wait ~5 minutes for a table of two. We were sat at a high top at the bar, which we appreciated. Our server greeted us quickly, and checked in a few times throughout the night. Service was average, nothing spectacular but nothing to complain about. I had a hurricane to start off. Packed full of the good stuff, and one was definitely enough for the night. Appropriate price for what you get. This drink is what brought my review from a 2 for the food to a 3 in total. We started off with pork Bao buns. The bun was spongy, but somewhat dry. The pork lacked any sort of flavor, and the sauce on it didn't do much for me. The next part of the meal was the most disappointing for me: the curry chicken wings. Let me tell you- I was excited for these. These lacked any sort of flavor at all, and the only thing saving it was the ranch. The wings had a good crisp, but the sauce was lacking taste. I had the Shoyu ramen for my main. It was a pretty average bowl of ramen, but for the price, I expected more. The pork in it was flavorful, but the chicken in it was odd in my opinion with an unexpected herby flavor. Overall, service was average (but we appreciated getting sat fast), drinks were strong (and saved the meal) and the food was average. Would go if invited by a friend, but probably would not return on my own.

We were looking for some food options late at night and came across this place because hibachi…read morestyle chicken and poke bowl sounded good. Ordered food to take to my hotel and it was one of the worst tasting food experience I've had. Salmon tasted old, runny, and disgusting. Took one bite and threw everything away as I didn't want to get sick. Chicken was cold and hard as brick, and fried rice was a joke. I don't understand how they stay in business, because they really shouldn't if they're preparing food this way. Crunchy shrimp roll was barely edible. We were so hungry and tried to eat what we can, but threw away 80% of what we ordered. Took some photos but it looks much worse than what it shows. While I was waiting for my order, I saw the cook prepare another customer's order and I should have ran away then. They only had one wok with gas stove, and I saw her prepare a new order when the wok had leftover noodles in it. Never washed it. She put fresh vegetables into a dirty wok and started grilling! They obviously don't care about cross-contamination and food allergies.

She ordered ramen with a miso soup base, pork dumplings, and added chili oil. She was glad she added the chili oil because she said it added just the right amount of spice. I tried it as well and thought it gave it just a little heat - could be easily eaten by anyone. We got the order to go in case we couldn't find a table. They packaged the soup separate from the noodles so her noodles wouldn't get soggy in case it would be a while before she could eat it.

I had the kimchi ramen, and everyone else had the spicy ramen. We shared the chili garlic edamame and pan fried dumplings. The chili garlic edamame was SO GOOD and garlicky!! All of us loved our ramen! Flavorful, and not overly spicy. We will definitely be back.

When we arrived, were here asked if we had a reservation which we didn't and the lady said she asked because they had many reservations for that time. We were seated in one of the upper pods which gave a nice elevated view of the entire restaurant. We ended up choosing different combos so we could try the different side dishes. Overall the food was great. We were served our dishes by different people and one guy was almost rude when he brought our ramen bowls. If I had to choose, I'd go to 86th Street as everything about the experience was top tier.
