Passion fruit and lime green tea. Very fresh. Wasn't a fan of the seeds from the passion fruit but good overall.
Eve Lily G.

Went to I Love Noodz recently and had a good bowl of chicken pho where the chicken was tender and the broth was delicious. The restaurant was close to the Lane and High intersection. You order on a kiosk and take a number and the staff will bring your food to your table. Because it's on OSU'S campus I'm not sure how busy it can get during the school year but when I went there was no wait and there were not a lot of tables but enough in the inside. They had other menu options like dumplings and ramen (which I will have to go back and try). I also got a passion fruit and lime green tea which was both fresh and delicious.

Spicy Tonkotsu Ramen
Karla M.

I won't lie, I was compelled to try this place mostly by the name (and secondly because the pictures of the food looked good). When you walk in, they have three screens to the right to place your order or you can also order at the counter to pay with cash and get 5% off. I went with the screens since I wasn't sure what I wanted and this gave me time to browse and take my time. I ended up going with the spicy tonkotsu ramen and a lychee drink and tried some of the friend's pork dumplings and gyozas. I was definitely overwhelmed with their drink options (there must have been over 30) since they all sounded fruity and delicious. We got our main food about 15-20 minutes after ordering and it came out at the perfect temperate--it wasn't cold but I also wasn't burning my tongue or blowing on my food. The flavor of the ramen broth was good. It was creamy but a bit too salty. It could've been a bit spicier but I was grateful that I could taste all the flavors since it wasn't that spicy. The pork slices were one of my favorite parts. Usually I'm not a big fan since it can taste funny or have too many fatty parts. These pieces were perfectly cooked and sliced to perfection. I did order my ramen with corn to introduce a sweet element. The noodles were cooked perfect and a tad chewy as expected. The egg was good. The drink did have a good lychee taste and had some jelly balls but I didn't realize the foam would be a bit salty. The cups are super cute and durable (I ended up using it as my water bottle for the weekend). One thing that did inconvenience me was that about 3-5 minutes into going in, the fire alarm sounded and didn't stop for a good 5-7 minutes. We didn't have to evacuate since the source was in the adjacent/top building units and it was cold outside so we didn't move. I found the prices to be standard. There's a parking lot around the corner and it's near Ohio State if you're interested in a tour.

Quick service and good food. Always being a loyal customer here and my personal fav is black garlic tonkotsu. I'll give Char siu a "meh" but they really know how to cook broth.

Came by on a weekday early afternoon. Not busy at all. A few folks dining in. You order on the screen then it prints out a receipt. They'll call your number when the food is ready. Since they weren't busy I was kind of watching them cook the food out of curiosity. I liked seeing that they made everything fresh. I had ordered the spicy tonkotsu ramen at regular spice, pork and crab dumplings, and kaarage chicken. The broth of the ramen tasted good. I should've gone spicier as regular spice was not spicy enough. I LOVED the kaarage. It has a really nice seasoning and the pieces were large. The dumplings were decent to me. But I'm a huge fan of Din Tai Fung. It's hard not to compare. Overall, it's great to see options like this. And prices are good for what you're getting. I'll come back for their bubble tea! **Parking garage at the back. It's not free but it's the most convenient option. Or opt for street parking.

I'm so happy this opened near campus! It's super new, but the service and ambience was great. We were greeted right when we walked in. There are a few kiosks, but we were asked to order at the register, where the cashier was super patient and sweet while we looked through the menu. We realized later that we had come super close to closing time and asked if it'd be better if we got to-go, but the cashier was super friendly and said we were welcome to stay and take our time. The curry bomb ramen was so good! Full of flavor, so excited to try more ramen. The pho was pretty bland, but the chicken broth pho is marketed as very light. The table had hoisin sauce, chili oil, and sriracha to add. I do wish they had a more substantive chili oil, with flakes instead of pure oil, but I had plenty of leftovers to bring home to my own garlic chili oil. Wouldn't recommend the chicken broth pho personally, but I don't want to rule out the beef without trying. Each table also has plastic cups and a water pitcher, which was super convenient. And the tea!!! I ordered the peachy blossom green tea with nata jelly and it was so good!! Not super syrupy or sweet at 50% sugar, and the jelly was really great quality without excess syrup too. The lime and pulp (not sure if it was the peach or nata) was added a lot too. It was less than $6 for this size and quality, which I think beats both nearby KFT and Cuppa Cha. I think this is my new go-to for campus boba. Really looking forward to trying more here, highly recommend!

Black Garlic Tonkotsu, Gyoza Dumplings and an Ol' School Hong Kong BBQ Pork Bun
Dan W.

This great little noodle shop is located on the corner of High Street and Lane. They even have a parking garage located in the building behind them. They have fantastic ramen, pho, dim sum, and boba teas. If you're on campus, visit campus or in the area, I highly recommend stopping by this place. The service is quick and the flavors at this place are amazing. If you have never tried an Ol' School Hong Kong BBQ Pork Bun, this place serves up a MUST TRY BBQ Bun.......You'll thank me later.

Kitchen/Counter to order
Ellen M.

Pros: Good location on Lane Paid parking in garage around corner Clean, open dining area Friendly service Black Garlic Tonkotsu ramen was delicious - noodles perfectly chewy, broth not too garlicky and pork slices had wonderful flavor Loved the jammy egg Mango Tango slush was refreshing and enjoyed the milk foam on top Like the variety of the menu - pho, ren, and dim sum (includes soup dumplings) Lots of drink options Cons: Price is a tad high for the smaller portion You are supposed to order via the kiosks, which I hate, but the server told me I could order at the counter Pro tip: Go right when they open to avoid the lines

Black Garlic Tonkotsu Ramen
Allison M.

Service was fast and the ramen was incredible. The dumplings tasted frozen and were okay but I think I would skip them in the future. It was a bit small and cold in the dining area but I think the ramen is worth it. :)

Wing Yan K.

Their menu cover Pho, Ramen, Dim Sum, Bubble Tea, and more. Bringing a friend along is definitely a wise decision for an undecisive person like me. Tried a couple appetizers, a bowl of Ramen and the bubble tea. My highlight would have to be the Chicken Karaage and the OL' School Hong Kong BBQ Pork Bun.

Fried Gyoza Dumpling and Chicken Karaage
Ashleigh S.

This black garlic tonkotsu was the beautifully warm hug that I so rightfully deserved on this chilly depressing day. The flavors hit just right and the noodles were perfectly al dente, just the way I like them. I'm not the biggest fan of fried gyoza so I don't know why I even tried but the chicken karaage was nicely breaded and crispy. I'll return for the ramen alone!

Milk tea and Thai tea bobas
Michelle T.

Incredible food that looked and tasted amazing. I love that you just order on the computers and take a number and seat yourself! They don't ask for tip, but I left one anyway bc of the convenience and quick services. Super chill spot with WiFi and Starbucks around the corner. Loved everything about this place from the name to my last sip of Thai tea boba.

Peach Green Tea With Nata Jelly
Jennifer W.

Delicious! I ordered for delivery and got the Hong Kong Bun, the gyoza, peach green tea, and the black garlic ramen. (I wasn't planning to order all of that, but upon reading reviews from others, felt I needed to try it all. And boy were they right!) The Hong Kong Bun was hot and flavorful, the gyoza were crispy and the sauce with it was unexpectedly flavorful. It was all absolutely amazing and packaged well for delivery. The broth was in a separate container so I was able to add it once it was delivered and let the noodles soak. Will definitely order again!

Beef balls and tendon Phó
Ces C.

Came across a pop ad that said 50% off up until today for an opening promo. Glad I checked it out. We tried the Black Garlic Tonkatsu Ramen and Beef balls & Tendon Phó. Both were delicious! The broths were on point. We even had some to go. You also can't beat the half off milk tea bobas, so for the two of us we got to try 4 different kinds and they were all good! The bobas were nice and chewy. Service was fast & friendly. They have kiosks on the right side of the resto when you come in for to go orders. Overall, great experience would love to be back! Happy tummy!

I had to take my ticket inside and if you purchased something from one of the vendors, they have to give you a QR code for the parking garage and it's two dollars for parking. We had Indian food and the food was delicious. The young lady behind the counter was so nice. She let us taste the chicken before purchasing our meals. The food in the North market is expensive. It was almost $40 for two people to eat. Then we had Jennie's ice cream afterwards and it was $15 for two scoops of ice cream. Customer service was great as all the vendors were awesome and explained everything to us. Is this something that I would do again know just because of the parking and most of the restaurants inside of Markette is not something that I would normally eat very clean. There is a second floor for you to sit. I don't know if they had an elevator. I didn't see one, but I know there are stairs to the second floor. Very busy long lines and you feel like you have to rush to order something because all lines were so long.

The restaurant itself is very clean, and most of the staff are Japanese and very knowledgeable about the menu. They're also great about giving recommendations if you're not sure what to order. When I visited, they had a special for A5 Wagyu nigiri, so of course I had to try it. It's definitely on the pricier side, especially for Columbus, but I think the quality is up there for the area. The Wagyu practically melted in my mouth like butter. Honestly, I may have enjoyed the nigiri-style preparation even more than some of the Wagyu I've had in Japan. Since the meat is sliced so thin, it's incredibly easy to eat and doesn't feel as overwhelming. In Japan, the cuts can be much more generous, which is amazing in its own way but can sometimes feel like a lot in one bite. The rest of the nigiri was solid as well. I'm always a big fan of yellowtail, and this one had absolutely no fishy taste. That said, it wasn't quite as tender as some of the sushi I've had at other spots during my travels. Still, the overall quality was very good and definitely worth trying if you're in the area. I also highly recommend the agedashi tofu as an appetizer. The lightly fried tofu with the savory sauce was a great way to start the meal. Unfortunately, I forgot to take a photo of it because I was too busy eating! Overall, this is a solid sushi spot with good-quality fish, knowledgeable staff, and some great specialty options. Definitely worth a visit, especially if you're craving Japanese-style sushi and want to splurge a little on something like the A5 Wagyu nigiri.

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.
