    R7. Super Ichiro Ramen - Wonderful
    Keith J.

    This Japanese-style ramen joint is one that I've visited twice now and is fire in my opinion and this is coming from someone who lived in Japan for three years not that long ago and I think I know my ramen pretty well. This is one of my favorite ramen places in the St. Louis area, albeit there's several places I haven't been to yet. Most recently I ordered the Super Ichiro Ramen that has a little spicy heat that I love and was heavenly. On my first to Ichiro awhile back I ordered the pork katsu ramen and remember it as delicious as well. Also, for an appetizer I ordered the Chinese style dumplings that were killer and on my previous visit had the gyoza Japanese dumplings that were delicious too and the dunking sauce for both appetizers was amazing. Drinks I've had are the milk boba tea and before that the Thai ice tea and both recommended. Service is friendly but a little bit perfunctory as is common in many Asian restaurants I've been to here and overseas as well and the decor isn't anything fancy and typical of other Japanese restaurants I've been to around St. Louis, which is to say fine.

    Ramune (Japanese Soda)

    This is by far the best ramen I've had in St Louis. The portion size was fantastic, I ate more than I should have because it was so good. The chicken katsu was delicious. You can tell it was breaded in house. Service was prompt and very good. The place itself is so calm and relaxing. Honestly I'll be back probably weekly, it's so nice to know I won't have to leave far from Arnold to get some great ramen. Also if you've never had Ramune i recommend getting it once, it's a fun little soda and pretty good.

    Great spot to have something different. Clean restaurant, friendly servers, and flavorful food.

    Chicken Katsu
    Irene N.

    Dined in on a snowy Thursday, and some hot ramen was needed! The server was friendly and got all our orders correct. And the restaurant was pretty quiet inside, I think it wasn't as busy because of the snow. I loved the flavors and the food! I would order again because of the service and the Super Ichiro Ramen!

    Pork Katsu Ramen. Pork Katsu came later
    Jo Nell R.

    I stopped by within the first month they were open and it was a little crazy. No clear way to determine what you were supposed to do once entering as there was a half wall, but no signage and the staff was really busy and no one there to acknowledge. Several more customers entered and we all kind of hung out there till an employee came and let us know it would be an hour wait for dine in and longer than that to put in a carry out order. All of us opted to leave. I stopped back in last month a little later in the evening and things had quieted down. I was greeted when I walked in and when I indicated I was dining in, he took me to a booth. There were a few tables occupied and there were several walk ins to pick up to go orders while I was there. Quite a large menu so I spent some time reviewing the different Ramen options. I decided to try the Pork Katsu Ramen. I asked about smaller portions of the Crab Rangoon since it was just me but only came as six. The Ramen came out pretty quick, but the waiter indicated the pork katsu would be a little longer. Not sure if the Pork Katsu is always on the side or normally comes in the Ramen since it came later. The Katsu was good, it was fresh and juicy with a great crisp. The Ramen part was ok, the noodles were different than I have had in other Ramen I have had, can't pinpoint the difference but they weren't the same. There was corn included, and I haven't had that before either. It didn't have a depth of flavor that I am used to. Granted, my first Ramen was from another local place and that is my comparison for all others. Love that something new came to the South County area!

    Takoyaki & Udon
    Jesse W.

    Some of the best Takoyaki I've had. I recommend it fully. Ive also had the udon and a ramen and both are very good in flavor and well presented. I think the price is very good for what you get.

    I drove 40 minutes to check this place out! I REALLY WANTED TO like this place, but I left disappointed. They are still new and probably figuring out a few kinks. This review is from my first time experience. My friend and I ordered their ramen and we shared a bingsu as our dessert. The Spicy Pork Ramen and Sapporo Ramen. I get a tingling or tightness in my face when I eat too much MSG, which is the reaction I got after I ate their ramen. If you're not sensitive to MSG, go for it! I'm not necessarily against the use of MSG, just not too much of it. The ramen needed more broth and was too concentrated for me. Flavors were okay, but a bit too salty. Noodles were a mix of spaghetti and ramen texture. It needed more starchiness and chewiness. The pork Chasu was difficult to chew and rubbery, and the egg was a bit overcooked. The Strawberry Bingsu was questionable. I wish I had taken the photo of the first Bingsu that they brought out because it was so bad. It was just shaved ice and popping boba in a small dish for $8.00. It was nothing like the photos in their menu and would've been finished with 2 spoonfuls. My friend complained, so the gentleman cut up fresh strawberries and remade it for us. It was a little better, but it was definitely not worth $8.00. Flavors were good and loved their shaved ice, but I hope they can figure out the quantity, quality, and presentation of it. Ice is cheap, y'all. Definitely would use a bigger bowl for the shaved ice. Overall, it was a poor experience, and I probably will never get a ramen there again. I'll come back to try their Bento Boxes or donburi if friends ever want to go, but I probably won't go out of my way. Other things to look forward to.... Occasionally, you will hear a lady yelling in the kitchen. They do have a friendly staff, clean atmosphere, and convenient parking.

    Chicken Katsu Ramen
    Jami R.

    Service was wonderful and friendly. Our apps and main dishes all came out together but typical of some more ethnic restaurants. Everyone was happy with the food and prices were reasonable. Steady business on a Saturday hut open tables for walk ins as well. Gyoza were tasty! Hibachi was a great deal. Ramen was good but thought it was odd the chicken came on the side. Would come back to try other items if I'm in the area but won't be making a special trip to revisit either.

    R1. Tonkotsu Ramen Spicy

    The food was stellar, the service was also amazing, and the overall vibes are calm and cooling it's such a good environment to eat in! Would heavily recommend to anyone!

    Spicy Miso Ramen.  So good.  1st time here and will return.
    Jim B.

    Amazing food and service. Will surely be back again. This was my first time and not my last.

    What I ordered: Chicken Stir Fry Ramen with an order of Crab Rangoons and a Thai Tea. Would I go again: I'll keep this on my list forsure. I took this order to go, so I'd love to go back and dine in. They had so many options to choose from but I kept it simple and was satisfied. The crab Rangoons were a little over cooked for me, but the overall taste was good. They recently opened for business, so be sure to try them out now before business is booming!

    Pork gyoza
    Kathryn J.

    Service was friendly and helpful, and I enjoyed the decorations and vibe of the restaurant. Unfortunately, it's namesake wasn't what I hoped for. The gyoza was tasty, but it tasted very similar to frozen ones I've had before. The shoyu ramen was disappointing. The broth was flat in flavor, not the dynamic, umami I expect from ramen. The noodles were overcooked and in a clump at the bottom of the bowl. The egg was hard boiled rather than soft. Something I quickly noticed was that the menu consisted of five pages of various Chinese and Korean dishes before the two pages of ramen options. Maybe their other dishes are better, but for a restaurant that has "ramen" in the name, I would hope the ramen is the focus but it didn't feel that way. I'd be willing to try it again in a few months after they have worked out some of the kinks and I'll update my review when I do.

    Angel Fire Bowl

    Amazing food and amazing service. We've been when it's busy and when there was plenty of seating options, the service was still great. The food is amazing. The Angel Fire Bowl is so fresh. My husband loves the ramen bowls and tries a different one each time. The crab rangoon has "crab meat" and isn't overly sweet. We have loved everything we've gotten from here and have recommendationed this place to many friends!

When we pulled up, there was a line but it moved quicker than we thought. Once we got inside, we were both surprised at how small it was. While I've yet to go to Japan, it def gives off the vibe strictly from ambiance and the decor. It's small but intimate and offers seats at the "bar", as well as communal seating. We didn't get a choice and were sat at the bar. Ordering is done through the QR code and water is offered self-serve. We split an order of the appetizers: house cucumbers and karaage. I'm not a huge cucumber fan but I tried it. I preferred the one with miso as I found it to be more subtle in taste. The chicken was average and didn't wow me. We each got the chicken shoyu with no pork, no scallions and an extra egg. It felt like it took a long time to get our food. We were both surprised once we got it as we were expecting actual chicken pieces but after rereading the menu description, it was chicken oil. He was a bit disappointed as both our dishes were covered in scallions. I suggested we not send it back since it took quite a while to get our food and they were close to closing. Nevertheless, I found the broth to be tasty and full of flavor despite there being no meat. Overall, it was a solid first visit.
