4.5 stars. Ramen Bar serves appetizers (e.g., egg rolls and edamame), salads, stir-fried noodles, rice bowls, udon, desserts (e.g, mochi ice cream), beverages (e.g., teas, sodas, and juices), and, of course, ramen. The ramen broths are simmered for over 8 hours, and customers may customize their ramens with dozens of toppings (e.g., egg, corn, tofu, kim chi, seaweed, bamboo, eggplant, chicken, and fish cake). My husband and I ate lunch here one time. The employees promptly and politely seated us, took our orders, brought out our foods, and took our payment. I rate the service as 5 stars. Here are my ratings for the menu items that we ordered: Vegetable gyoza dumplings - 4.5 stars - Several gyoza dumplings were filled with a vegetable mixture and served with soy sauce. Takoyaki - 3.5 stars - When I was in Japan, I did not like takoyaki or octopus balls at all. I actually liked these takoyaki better. They contained a little octopus meat and were topped with bonito flakes. Seafood Ramen - 4.5 stars - This soup was a huge serving size. I chose a miso base, which was flavorful. Other ingredients were ramen noodles, bamboo shoots, bean sprouts, green onions, scallops, mussels, and squid. Wonton Men - 4.5 stars - My husband ate this soup, and he described it as "good." It contained ramen noodles, bamboo shoots, bean sprouts, green onions, pork wontons, and a chunk of pork. Hot green tea - 5 stars - A mug was filled with a nice hot green tea that warmed me up on the cold winter day. In addition to dining in, customers may order through DoorDash, Uber Eats, and GrubHub.
This place is very nostalgic! I used to come here in college a lot. It is great value for what you get and the ramen is good. I think the pork is a little dry but overall, love that we have a ramen spot in Sq. Hill. The staff is super nice and sweet and they have a lot of seating inside. Glad to see that this spot hasn't changed much! This is my friend's favorite ramen!
Been a few times, pretty good! I prefer when it's less busy and not so packed as it gets very cramped in there, not good for a stroller. Food is pretty good, I think I need to try more to see if any is 5-star amazing but I'm sure I'll be back soon enough
HORRIBLE, absolutely disgusting. I found a huge bug in my ramen.. won't be eating here ever again. Everyone please consider this before you decide to eat there. Not a normal bug at all either, looks like maybe a roach .
Lots of people were here when we went. I had the raska ramen, substitute shrimp for $1.50, it was delicious and plenty of food! Servers were helpful, maybe a little rushed but I think because they were busy, know what you want ahead of time if that bothers you; we didn't mind... My lover's ramen came with LOTS of pork, it says extra pork on the menu description but wow they really spoil you here! Thank you ramen bar!
super nice ambiance and quick service! big portion size for a good meal! the add ons can be a bit pricey but other than that everything on the menu was moderately priced
Very nice casual place with a ramen bar feel. Fast paced and tight seating, but still feels intimate. Service is incredible for how busy it is. Everyone is welcoming and friendly. We ordered the pork gyoza which had a perfectly thin wrapper and really good filling. My partner ordered the spicy miso ramen ramen and I ordered the ajo ramen. The white onions in the ajo were so good!! Everything seasoned well. Would come back here.
Some dishes may contain nuts, but in the several times I've been here, the staff have been amazing at understanding allergies and customizing dishes where needed. In fact, this restaurant is phenomenal at handling customizations of any kind. In this beginning street to Squirrel Hill lies one of my favorite noodle places in the US. There is the occasional wait, but it is worth it. They also do delivery through Yelp, I believe, fulfilled by GrubHub. The Tan Tan Men Seafood Ramen was phenomenal - a perfect balance of light spice and salty, with generous amounts of seafood (5/5). The Shoyu Chashu ramen had a very generous portion of meat, with a very light broth (3.5/5). I would say that I have had more tender and flavorful Chashu elsewhere, but the portions were much better at Ramen Bar. My only dissatisfaction is that they occasionally run out of popular dishes, like their takoyaki. However, it's a small price to gamble for very reasonably priced ramen that was surprisingly rich and flavorful.
I used Seamless to order lunch for my family today in Braddock. As you will see from the receipt, I paid more than $25 in fees and tip for this lunch, which was reported to be OK at best. For full reference, I ordered the seafood Ramen and the curry Ramen with shrimp they received 4 pieces of shrimp! The broth was tasty. My family loves eating here and they've enjoyed the food. The packaging was quite good. The broth was tasty again for shrimp is a bit skimpy for this price.
This was a late night delivery order, so the pictures are not doing the food justice. This is my favorite place to get ramen delivered from. The food is always so good, hot, and fresh even though I live about 20 minutes away. When you order any noodle soups, the staff will package the noodles, broth, and toppings all separately so nothing gets soggy. I have ordered the tan tan seafood ramen the last few times we've ordered from here, and I will probably order it again next time because it is so so good. The broth has a perfect spice to it an the creaminess helps balance that. I can't place an order without their takoyaki either. They're super generous with the benito flakes, which I love. This place is always a hit and definitely one of my most ordered delivery spots. read more

Wonderful food (best gyoza ). Curry ramen is also delicious. The folks that work there are SO NICE! They remember you and your order if you've come more than once. The walls are covered in Tokyo pic and noodle 'monster'. They have one larger community table. It is ~10-12 table establishment--so it is cozy....but it reminds me of Japanese-size restaurants. read more

Ramen bar is where I first found my love for noodle soups. This is an OG spot for me and I will continue to frequent whether it's hot or cold out. That soup is good ANYTIME! I love the dumplings as well as the shrimp apps! It's a cute little spot filled with noodles of love! Love the noodle man on the wall the most! The service is always fast and I have yet to have any issues. A top tier spot for ramen! read more

I will start by saying that I was really excited to try this place because I saw a review that said it was very garlicky and I LOVE GARLIC. Real garlic girlie over here. Anyway I will also say my bf and I have been spoiled with London ramen for the past two years but we were a little disappointed with this place. The garlic edamame was very good but we had to add salt and the ramen was pretty decent but I didn't like the cut of meat, it was too thick for someone who doesn't eat a ton of meat in general. I would go back but fujiya is still going to be my go to ramen place in Pitt. read more

One of the BEST ramen place i've been to. Never had a bad server experience here and the food is SOOO GOOD. I so recommend this place and the tan tan men is so good read more
Always a great meal at the Ramen Bar. We came here for my mom's birthday and again, it did not disappoint. We stopped in on a Friday evening and we were able to snag one of the very few available tables left. This place is small but they fit as many tables as they can. It is sort of a tight squeeze, just in case you have a wheelchair or walker. We ordered a few appetizers and some entrees. I created my own ramen bowl which is a great option that the Ramen Bar offers. Our waitress was also great and answered all of my parents' questions. Definitely try this place out! read more

Great ramen!! Have been here a few times now. Amazing flavor, broth, and noodle texture. Service is super fast and friendly Ajo Ramen is a big no!! everything else on the menu is great (Ajo is overpowered by the garlic) Ramen Ramen is great, Wonton Men, and any ramen with their roast pork is delicious! Big portions and decent prices! Cant beat this place on a rainy day read more

Located in the strip the food is actually very good and affordable! However the staff made me feel not at home, checking on me and my guest to make sure we were finished every 2-3 minutes and the staff kept staring at us. Definitely did not make us feel welcome. We also bought the egg roll which said 4 piece on the menu but only received 3, and were told "these are bigger than before so we give fewer", if that was the case they should definitely NOT advertise it as 4... Food: 4/5 Service: 2/5 Average: 3/5 read more

Came here on my birthday for a nice dinner. The staff was friendly and attentive seating is fast and making sure we're were taken care of throughout the meal. The space is a little small but they utilize it well to seat as many as possible and the inside is a nice casual dining area that suits the meal well. We got takoyaki and chicken karaage to share. The takoyaki was well fried and scrumptious with a nice outside and a soft octopus filled inside. The chicken was well fried and juicy. I got the tonkatsu ramen with shoyu broth and added roasted garlic, baby corn, and an egg. The broth was rich and flavorful the noodles were well cooked and caught the broths flavor well. The pork was a little bland on its own but it complemented the soup well. Overall it was a really good meal. read more

The place is quite small, but very cozy and nicely decorated. All seats are near the door, if you are visiting when it is cold out you will need an extra layer of clothing. Still, the food was very well made. Large portions, bold flavors and beautifully plated. I had the curry ramen. It wasn't as spicy as I like, but the heat was there, and I will dream of the creamy curry broth. We also enjoyed a ramen in shoyu broth, as well as their generous 6 piece takoyaki! It was all so good. I could not finish my bowl, but I did try! Did I mention large portions? The two of us had separate ramen bowls, and a shared appetizer. It came to under $40 before the tip. The waiter was very kind and knowledgeable. He brought me a small dish of red pepper paste (might have been Sambal Oelek) to add to my dish table side, to increase the heat level. Everyone was so nice and the place was pretty full. Service was quick, but we never felt rushed. We will definitely come back with friends next time. It was a pleasant experience. Small place, big flavor, great atmosphere and hospitality! (Sorry one picture is blurry. I was focusing on my conversation, and the food. I forgot to check the photos before we ate almost everything.) read more
Super fresh and filling. I liked the vegetable ramen I got with added chicken. I wanted to add a little more flavor to it, so asked for some chili to add some spice, but overall it was very good. I had the miso soup base. read more

The ramen here is spot on. The menu is varied and has many options for ramen and non-ramen dishes. I tried the tan tan men and really loved it. Chicken karaage starter was also very good! Service was fast, efficient, and pleasant. I would happily return. read more

I've been here twice now. The first time was great and I highly recommend the Ajo Ramen! Delicious, rich brother with a nutty toasted garlic flavor. Second time, I was a little disappointed. We had the Karaage chicken, Vegetable Shoyu Ramen, and the Pork Udon. Don't get me wrong, the noodles and broth for both the ramen and udon were great but the toppings were lackluster. In our vegetable shoyu ramen, we found the butt, the root end, of a green onion. Rather unprofessional and off putting. The karaage chicken was okay. A little soggier than I would have liked it, so I didn't get the classic crispy crunch that I've come to expect with great karaage chicken. This is likely because the chicken pieces were quite big so the surface area and timing is difficult to balance. To cook the chicken fully they had to keep the chicken in the oil longer, making it soggy. Their sauce was good and they included a lime rather than a lemon which I also thought was interesting. The presentation of the toppings and the toppings themselves didn't really scream authenticity. There were no Asian mushrooms, the onions didn't melt in my mouth, the pork was simply boiled rather than marinaded and cooked on the side, and none of the classic boiled egg either. The food is definitely not bad. The service is great and efficient. I enjoyed the atmosphere and decorations. However the food was a little disappointing for Japanese ramen. Would recommend to try it out. However, I do think there are better options for authentic ramen for a similar price. read more
