Super crowded with a 20-30 minute wait time today - and for good reason! The food was so fresh and…read moredelicious. I spent my time waiting browsing Japanese magazines on either side of the restaurant. We were able to get a table just a couple minutes before our food came out. Despite the crowd, I didn't see anyone not have a seat once their food arrived. Maybe half of the clientele was Japanese, which is always a great sign for authenticity. Getting one full meal and one bowl to split between 2 people was the perfect amount to enjoy a full meal and still have enough leftovers for 1 later. My partner was not a big fan of the shredded daikon in the #2 combo -- it has a very strong flavor and distinct texture -- but I enjoyed it in combination with the sauces, sides, and salad. I will definitely be coming back to try more of the menu, probably on a slower weekday, fingers crossed.

The sesame seeds on the side was a nice touch but after a minute of pounding away for crushed sesame, the seeds were still whole. The tonkatsu meat was not evenly made as some of the edges were overfried as compared to the well fried middle portions. The restaurant is smaller and self-serve. Pickup order and drop off trays when complete.

It's not my favorite ramen place but it's definitely one of the best.

Horrible! Ordered DoorDash and was really disappointed. Compared to many of the other ramen places,…read morethis ramen was subpar in so many ways. First portions are super small. I ordered a crispy cucumber salad and not only was the cucumber not crispy, there was hardly anything in the container. The same was true of the ramen dish. For the money, this isn't a value. The noodles reminded me of grocery store ramen quality. The pork was cold. I didn't feel it was safe to eat. I'm not impressed. There are so many other great ramen places around Columbus. I felt ripped off. All of the reviews are from many, many months and years ago, so something must have changed.

Quick and attentive service. We started with crispy dumplings (6), crispy egg rolls (2), and a scallion pancake. Bing, their crepe, wasn't available our night. My dining companions loved the pancake - for me perhaps a bit too much drizzled sauce. It was helpfully quartered when brought to the table so sharing was easy. The dumplings were indeed crispy and probably my favorite with a standard dark dipping sauce. The egg rolls were standard and perhaps a bit undersized and over fried, but a good creamy dipping sauce was a pivot away from the sweet chili sauce that usually accompanies such apps. Ramen is clearly the focus of the menu and three of us had ramen with chicken and one with pork. They spoke favorably of the broth and the combos of mushrooms, boiled egg, greens. I had the rice vermicelli with chicken that they called a salad. I was expecting the classic Vietnamese staple but this one had some adaptations, perhaps to a fusion or one might say less ethnic nod. Small things but the ample portion served in a small bowl made it hard to mix the rice noodles, lettuce, carrot, cucumber and chicken that is a common approach to the dish after drowning all the ingredients in both sweet sauce (nuoc cham), siracha and/or hoisin sauce. It only came with the nuoc cham. They brought Siracha when I asked for it, but I'm a fan of having these condiments on the table standard. Again, had the sense that the business lunch crowd that is probably the primary audience isn't likely to be as focused on the more authentic ingredients. The chicken was also not grilled and sliced but had a pleasant preparation. Just know it won't be the charred flavor that is so common. Finally, not to obsess on this one dish, but cutting the lettuce leaves more would enable easier chop sticks combos of the ingredients in single bites. Overall it worked for us. I am definitely the most focused on (my companions would say obsessed) on connection to what these dishes should be. If adaptations work well for you, Tiger+Lily likely will as well.

To tell the truth, I'm not a big fan of sushi, but there's a lot on the menu besides sushi, and…read moreI've enjoyed everything I've had here. The lunch plate is especially good, with a copious variety of different foods, including bulgogi (one of my favorites even alone), veggies, tempura, fruit, and yes, a few sushi. A little of everything, but it adds up to a lot of food. On my last trip, for a Saturday lunch, I had the chicken yakisoba - a HUGE portion for lunch, and quite good, with lots of veggies the way I like it. The service has been excellent every time I've been here, too. A very good choice for lunch.

Lots of food delivery business going on but light on sit down traffic. My guess their lunch business is huge. The counter staff was exemplary. Helped us through the menu and their screen ordering system. Knowledgeable too. And nice! When you make your ramen choice, you boil the water and mix it yourself. That's different. We had a bento box, sushi roll, Poké, and goyza. Little snafu with the delivery so they comped us a fruit salad before we had time to push the issue. Food is ok. Not great not bad. Acceptable all around. Which is good thing at the moderate prices. Since we live close we will return. They are opening their fourth location soon. Clearly they are well respected and doing a good job. Good luck!

It took 30 minutes for our waitress to come to the table after being reminded we were seated. She didn't introduced herself all evening and looking at the receipt at least I know it now. Also, it appeared that they were understaffed for as full as the restaurant was with at least 3 conferences nearby. There were only 2 bartenders so even drinks took a while after our order was placed. Once the drinks finally arrived about 20 minutes later, everything started coming out as well. Japanese 75 was a little sweet but flavorful! The Kyushiki was very nice, like a Japanese old fashioned. The Gin & Tea was delicious again. A dirty martini did not taste right, had no dirty in it and the green olives were soft. The Age Tofu had a nice coating on it and was silky and creamy inside. The beans were very good and had a nice spicy heat to them although over salted. The Veggie roll was huge! Never seen such a big roll! The pickled radish added a nice crunch and overall very flavorful. It does fall apart easily unless you put the whole slice in your mouth at once. The Naruto roll was phenomenal as always. I love the contrasting texture of the crispy cucumber and the soft fish. The Pink Lady roll stayed together nicely with the soy paper and again had nice flavor. The White Dragon was creamy and subtle with the pop of tobiko on top. If I was eating just the food it would be 5 stars again. The service this time, had much to be desired. The entire meal was around $175 for 4 people with drinks.
