I will preface this review to say I had a takeout order. The order was ready pretty quickly. I had stopped by from a neighboring shop. When I got home, the first thing I noticed was that here was a lot of pork and it was delicious. Then I noticed that only the bamboo shoots were in with it. Where were the bean sprouts and scallions? I thought they forgot them. When I stirred up the broth it was full of bean sprouts! Like more than I would ever expect, but they were soggy from the warm broth and the scallions might've been there but they were thin and flaccid. I asked for extra spice to be added and it wasn't that spicy but the flavor was good. With ramen I expect the vegetables to add texture and freshness and soggy bean sprouts are not that and the nice punch that scallions give was missing. The eat in space was small but inviting. I would not get take out from here again but I might try dining in.
I just ordered from here because I was craving some soup since I've been sick. I ordered the Tan Tan Men soup, pork xiaolong buns, and the pan fried gyoza. The soup was phenomenal. It's a large bowl and they package the broth separately so that the noodles don't get gummy. The xiaolong buns were sooo yummy. I thought that they were soup dumplings but I think they're just steamed pork dumpling. The gyoza was yummy but the other two items were definitely better. I am so excited to eat my leftover soup and hopefully return soon to try some other options
Husband and I have never been here before. We wanted a sushi appetizer so we figured we'd try it out since it's so close to home. The place is super cute and clean. Not much seating. We got the sushi pictured. I absolutely loved the High Street roll but they all exceeded my expectations. Everything was fresh and delicious. This will definitely be my new go to sushi spot! 10/10 for sure! My nine-year-old also got the kids Ramen which I think was like seven dollars and way worth it. It was an adult size bowl with noodles, broth, sliced chicken breast and scallions. We all loved it more than anticipated. Service was mediocre. Not good nor bad. For the sushi and kids ramen our bill was $66. We will def be returning!
A friend and I have been wanting to try a ramen place together and I'm so glad we chose Kirin! The noodles were so good and chewy, the soup base was delicious, the pork, bamboo shoots and other toppings were just the right amount of crunch and added texture for the dish. My son got the egg rolls and soup dumplings and gobbled them up. The chicken karaage was SO good! The small plate comes with 4-5 huge pieces. The chicken is so crunchy and juicy! The only thing I didn't care for was how much fat was wrapped up inside of them. It created a weird texture, but it did add to the flavor. The service was great. Our food came out pretty quickly. There isn't a ton of seating, so a large group isn't the best. But there is enough seating for a group of 4-6 if needed at the large family style table. I really want to go back and try their sushi! Everything looked so fresh.
Visited 23 JUL 2024 I really like what they chose to do with a small space in a strip of stores along a busy street. It is clean and simple furniture, there is a row of high table/chairs down the middle and more traditional tables at the ends of the room. I didn't notice/don't remember much on the walls. We have had Pho many times but there are not a lot of ramen places right near us in central Maryland. We were in town visiting family so this gave us a chance to stop into Kirin. I am always happy when I see a cultural group enjoying a meal of the cuisine I am about to try. My wife got a Miso based bowl and I got the Shoyu. The presentation was simple and attractive. The taste was just complex enough for me to enjoy the slight differences from Pho. It was very filling. We also had for the table crispy rice topped with tuna tartare (it was okay, but I'd likely skip that if we came back). They also have a broad range of whiskeys and I think they also consider themselves a whisky bar. Maybe that happens late at night or on the weekends. While we were there it was a pretty straight forward dinner spot. Not cheap, but certainly fair for the quality and presentation (4 adults, 1 toddler $80, no alcohol). If local would certainly treat this place as a treat, a change of pace kind of stop.
For some reason I can't quit this place although I'm never blown away! I think it's because I like the selection of appetizers & dumplings/dim sum. The ramen is unimpressive but never terrible. The atom Yum is delish but it's definitely spicy. All the dumplings are good but they don't pack the dipping sauce well & it's always spilled on them. The lava egg yolk buns are one of my favorites. Wish they still had the sesame balls. Overall, it probably won't be my last time ordering from there.
We visited this nice restaurant off of High Street. It has some parking behind the building/strip as well as street parking. We went in around 3:30pm and it wasn't busy at all. We ordered the Tan Tan Men Ramen, Shoyu Ramen and Tuna Crispy Rice. The portion sizes were nice and worth it in my opinion. Tuna Crispy Rice - The rice is very crispy and crunchy so if you're a fan of textures you'll love this. They give you a generous portion of tuna which is spicy. This item is great for sharing. It has very good prices for ramen compared to other ramen places around central Columbus.
I wanted to love this and sadly I did not. The service and the atmosphere of the restaurant are both great. The sushi was where it went down hill. Tried both the tuna crispy rice and the Super Three roll. I did not enjoy the flavor or the texture of the food. Maybe the ramen experience is different?
I've had my eye on them since Chatime closed. Had to try their food! They don't have sushi on Tuesday's, so I settled for the Tan Tan Men ramen and ordered crystal shrimp dumplings. Delicious and filling! The ramen wasn't super spicy. Maybe medium heat? Great flavors! The dumplings were exceptional! You could tell it was fresh and the wrapper was made by hand. Fabulous! Can't wait to come back!
I wanted to love it but was underwhelmed, all 3 of us were. Everything was just ok. The broths were not as tasty and rich as we hoped. Expected more (as far as taste) for the price. Will not be returning. I wish them the best of luck, it looked family run. They were really nice. My dad got the spicy chasu miso and he didn't think it was spicy at all, but the guy got him a different hot oil sauce to add and it was better.
A new fast casual restaurant with great food and service. Ate there with a friend and our food was terrific. My friend ordered the meatballs and the gyoza and really liked both of those items. I ordered the Raksa Curry and it was supposed to be hot but it was a little too hot for me so I asked for a lemon wedge to squeeze on it and then it was perfect. It was loaded with broccoli and chicken and had a ton of flavor. The soup and bowl entrees that I saw, including my own, were large portions. The folks around us ordered various misos and ramens and they looked wonderful - just loaded with stuff. Very comfortable and clean. I will definitely go back.
Tucked in this little plaza is this gem. Free parking in their shared lot and some neighborhood parking available around the area. There's a big community table inside for multiple small parties or a couple bigger ones, some 2 seaters, and a couple other seating options. It's a small, cozy, inviting, restaurant but they also have the option to rent their space out for small parties! We got some drinks to try and they were so very good! They were made well, balanced, and creative. The flavors they offered were very good and unique. We got their Pork Xiao Long Bao, small Chicken Karaage, and Pepper Tuna to start. The XLB was good but not memorable, flavorful and small bites. The Pepper Tuna was also pretty good but I would probably only get again if I was craving. Their Karaage was phenomenal, very flavorful, crispy, and made well. We really enjoyed this appetizer. We got the Tan Tan Men and Seafood Ramen. The Tan Tan Men was delicious, made well, umami, flavorful, and fulfilling. I think the broth was delicious and everything paired well together. I would recommend this dish. The Seafood Ramen was good but, I didn't feel the seafood was too memorable and the flavor was very light. I wish their ramen had a bit more topping variety but overall, made well and delicious. Staff was nice! They were a bit busy and didn't check in as often but they were nice and walked around. They answered a couple questions we had in the beginning and we're accomodating. I recommend Kirin for small groups, a casual date, delicious food, and very good vibe. I think they have a fun and delicious spin on classic and traditional dishes. I will be coming back! read more
We came in here for lunch on a week day. It was quiet and clean. The staff was very friendly and walked us through the menu. I ended up getting shrimp tempura ramen. It was very flavorful. I wish it was spicier but I enjoyed it and will be back read more
We were super impressed with this place! The space is casual but modern and elegant, very comfortable for small parties. The service was also quick and friendly! We really enjoyed the food- the ramen texture was very chewy and perfect, and the soup broth was flavorful. Loved the roll as well- overall great experience! read more

Lunch at Kirin. Very quiet. I ordered my fave the Ajo Ramen. It came quickly, piping hot, and with a smile. I live on the other side of town but when I'm in the area I love coming here. Free two hour parking in the back. Super clean, inside & bathrooms, thanks for that. read more

We originally found this place on grubhub when my office gave me credits to use for a company-wide free lunch. Really enjoy the bao buns and karaage chicken here. Sushi was also good and my husband ate the spicy ramen. A solid choice for ramen in Columbus, although we do have lots of choices! My little one devoured the BBQ bao buns so that's a win! read more

Crawfish roll was surprisingly tasty. All the food was very good. Service good as well. The piped in music was a bit of a downer, ruined the ambience. read more
I was excited to see a Ramen shop pop up in the Clintonville area. It's a much-needed addition to the area! The service was friendly and helpful, but dang were they overwhelmed. I understand lots of places are short-staffed, but they were really struggling. There was a line of Door Dashers, Uber Eats, and GrubHub drivers lined out the door. Most of them waited 30+ minutes for their orders, one guy was there nearly an hour. Our food finally came out and it was cold. They ran out of one of the items we ordered and just gave us a refund because they really had nothing to substitute. The food itself was okay, but nobody checked on us because, again, they were so overwhelmed. I'm going to give them another chance, but just be warned they might not have things smoothed out as they figure out staffing and operations. read more
1st time visiting here, and the overall food was alright, minor things here and there. * Karaage: the size of the chicken was much bigger than any other karaage I had before. The meat was juicy but the sauce was a little bland. Also, because there was a side salad on the same plate, the dressing made the chicken a little soggy. * Xiao Long Bao: the restaurant specializes in Japanese cuisine, but also offers a couple of dim sum dishes. I got Xiao Long Bao, and it was good. * Tom Yum Noodle: the soup was refreshing but it was lacking some depth of the Tom Yum flavor. There were decent amount of shrimp in it and the noodle ate well with it. * Chatsu Miso Ramen: the chashu meat was very thick and big so it made it a bit dry and hard to eat. The broth was quite heavy but not oily. I heard their tan tan noodle was great, so I will definitely try that one next time! read more

They had been pushing out new menu item that I love. They added a new Karaage Ramen. The broth is originate from their Tan Tan Men, which is savory, nutty and creamy. Topped with their signature tender and juicy Chicken Karaage, along with some bean sprout. Beside ramen, they also have quite a selection of appetizers and sushi rolls as well. Highly recommend if you have not check them out yet. read more

My kids and I decided to have an indulgent dinner but wanted to stay a little close to home, and Kirin Noodle Sushi & Bar came to mind. I've often come for a quick bite for lunch but never had dinner there, and boy, were we in for a treat! We started with drinks... a glass of Old Fashioned for my son (and yes, he's old enough to drink legally), and a glass of one of their specials, Black Orchid. I'm not one for mixed drinks usually, but the Black Orchid was delicious... light, fruity, and a little decadent. For appetizers, we ordered their gyoza and shrimp tempura. They went down very well with our drinks. My daughter held off drinks until our dinner came. She ordered two small bottles of Mio Sparkling sake to have with our main dishes. Next came two specialty sushi rolls. One was the Sexy Beach, presented as a little pyramid of bite-sized orgasms (pardon my description, they were just heavenly). The other was the Super Tiger Roll. This one has shrimp tempura inside... just yummm! For our main course, my daughter had the Seafood Ramen, my son had the Chashu Ramen, and I had the Unagi Dongu. We all did taste each other's order, as families do, and I'll have to say, the broth in each of the ramens were oh so good! Both were rich in depth and just exploded in your mouth. The portions were generous, too. My dish, the Unagi rice bowl came hot, and the eel was cooked to perfection. I've got to say, I have a soft spot for unagi. When it's on the menu, I find it hard not to order it. The sparkling sake was just perfect for all of our dishes. It was light and dry and never overpowered the food but only enhanced the flavors. In speaking with the owner, the sake offerings will expand even more soon, and I, for one, can't wait! I've been hoping for a nearby place that offered superior quality sake, and now we'll finally have it in Clintonville. Everything was delicious, fresh, and looked absolutely beautiful. Final verdict... I can't wait to come back! read more

I miss their fried chicken so bad today so we stopped by and grabbed some chicken and ramen. It was so great! The fried chicken was crispy and juicy, so tender and it's a large portion too. We also ordered the crispy tuna, loved it so bad! Crispy sushi rice with tuna meat on the top. The thin slice of jalapeño gave me the perfect taste. That's gonna be on my must order list. lol! The service was great too. The lady server and the gentleman were very nice. The environment was great too. Not a lot of seating but it's clean and neat. They recommended the Dan Dan noodles, we will try it next time for sure. read more
Today was my first time at Kirin Noodle Bar. It was a nice day to have some ramen and sushi since it was a little rainy. Featured below will be a large spread of their menu items which were all extremely tasty!! The service was great and the environment was also great. It was quiet and relaxed which I really enjoyed although I'm not sure if it is always like that. I loved the chicken karaage.... It was absolute gas !! It comes with a cabbage salad that was one of my favorite things I've eaten in a while. The edamame was also very good and the vegetable roll was great. My only criticism would be that the rolls were not extravagant or anything special. They were good but not extremely good, if that makes sense. Also i forgot to add that the ramen bowls are enormous along with being very yummy! I would recommend splitting a ramen bowl along with an additional item on your visit. read more
The restaurant is in the middle of a strip with the parking behind back. We went in and they took our order at the table but had us pay as soon as we ordered, which I think is a little weird. We were gonna get more but didn't expect that. The service was minimal. They brought out all the food at once, we personally wish they staggered it. All the dim sum options were delicious and was the highlight of the meal for sure we got the soup dumplings, gyoza, chase pork buns and golden lava buns. The lava buns I'd never seen before they were like a sweet dessert and were cool to try something I'd never had. The ramen was good but nothing amazing flavor wise. The sushi I was disappointed in the bites alone were massive. They put a piece of lemon, rind and all that isn't pleasant to eat on it. The roll was kind of flavorless. The inside is cute and has minimal seating. read more
I came here with a couple of friends for my first time (and their second time). Although I like ramen, I don't typically eat it out a whole lot, so I decided to play it safe with the Miso Ramen. It had a great taste and was a HUGE portion. There was a shaker full of dried spice to add to it on the table so I could control the heat level, which was appreciated. To drink, I got the Thai Coffee, which was good but perhaps a little overpriced. As a starter, I ordered the Chicken Karaage, which we split amongst the table. It was super hot, temperature wise, and extremely juicy with a great crunchy skin. My friends enjoyed their ramen, but only one was not a fan of the steamed spinach in her Shoyu Ramen. They had also ordered the Pork Gyoza which was really tasty, but seemed more like a steamed soup dumpling and not as crispy as we were expecting. Overall, though, I'll definitely come back! read more
Delicious, fresh tasting and huge ramen bowls, yum! Grubhub pickup order. We were impressed with how well the restaurant packaged the food. Everything arrived hot and tasted fresh. The ramen bowl was huge! Definitely enough for 2 people. The sushi rolls tasted good but weren't that impressive. Loved this experience.

Would not have ever noticed this if not for Yelp. It's in the little strips with HCT and Northstar, etc. The sign on the building says Chatime, but the one on the door says Kirin, so, I guess it's both? Two restaurants in one! Anyway, they have both tea and food. Parking out back in the big lots, and a little out front. Walking in, the huge menu on the wall shows lots of tea options, no food, but they do have a printed food menu. The space is bright and clean, not huge but big enough for busy times (if they ever come again.) Lots of interesting stuff on the menu, so I picked several. The scallion pancakes were excellent: perfectly cooked, tasty. Small portion, though. The egg rolls looked way overdone but were not bad, the crunchiness working with the veggies inside. Came with a slightly spicy dipping sauce. The chapagetti was a sort of upgraded ramen. It was on the "dry noodles" part of the menu, I think, but there is some broth so you'll need the spoon. Good noodles, crumbled slightly-seasoned beef, a few veggies. Very good. And a good portion. All in all, very good food, good service, smallish portions, high prices. I spent $30, though I was stuffed and had an eggroll left to take to work. Drinks, besides tea, are pop in cans- for $2.50! Yikes. I had some, and got a tea for the road- chocolate hazelnut. Essentially like an iced coffee. I am not a big tea person, but they have a great selection of all kinds of tea, plus smoothies. I'll be back to maybe try more of those, and the food items since there are lots of interesting things on there. read more
A great comforting bowl of ramen, and great service. Multiple options to choose from, but not overwhelmingly so. The AJO ramen is amazing when you have a cold or feel under the weather. Lots of garlic to aid with healing. I've ordered from Kirin via delivery and in person. Compared to other places, the serving size is a bit larger. I also enjoy how it's packaged via delivery. Much easier to consume than other options. The bowl is about as big as Tensuke's. It's veggie forward (but have meat options as well), which I find refreshing. An excellent Columbus option l for ramen. Also - the lychee green tea is amazing and balanced. read more
