Had a poke bowl from there today and my goodness it was delicious! The mango just enhanced the flavor of the cucumber and tuna. The establishment is well-kept and has good vibes. The price was good for the amount of food in the poke bowl. The service was good as well! read more

I really liked the food at this place, so much I came and got the same thing the following day. I only did dine out, but they do have dine in. I ordered there I'd say it took 20-25 minutes. I had a vegan dish it was the curry veggie curry rice spicy and it was real good. I was staying at the hotel on the next block over so we walked, but if you're driving parking is hard to find. There's a garage around the corner from the hotel that you can pay to park at. read more

Great ramen choice. Went for dinner, and almost all the tables were full, and for a good reason. The broth and noodles were both excellent. Servers are attentive and friendly, always busy. I was glad that there was a vegetarian miso option! read more

Ramen Utsuke is a solid Baltimore spot that won't break your bank! Service - 10/10 Ambiance - Good food, not too loud, and good seating My partner and I got: Chicken Kaarage 9.5/10 ( small portion is the only drawback) Tuna roll 7/10 - it's a ramen spot not a sushi spot, but solid Miso Ramen 8.5/10 - Good and bouncy noodles, but should've gone with the spicy Black and Red 8/10 - Good, but not super flavorful, but did love the toppings and pork Overall, decent spot and would go again when in Baltimore/ at the convention center!! read more

YUM! This ramen shop has a variety of options including vegan, non-pork, gluten free and other dietary inclusive additions that make building a bowl of hot soup satisfying. We opted for garlic miso chicken broth with chicken and traditional adds along with a honey siracha salmon bento plate, vegetarian spring rolls and some spicy green beans that were amazingly good. You can order at the kiosk for takeout (perfect time to walk the dog then pick back up) or do seated service. The restaurant can be very busy, and the friendly servers work as fast as they can. There's booths and long tables and a boisterous sound level when it's full. read more

We wanted to come here for lunch but the wait was 45 minutes so we came back for dinner and I'm so glad we did! The place is a bit on the smaller side, but the service was fantastic. All the servers were very attentive and helped us whether it be a new pair of chopsticks or more water. The place itself was nicely decorated and clean. Since it is on the smaller side, it never got too loud. The food was delicious. The broth had a great umami and wasn't too salty like many ramen broths are. Noodles were perfectly chewy and the chasu was fork tender. The portions were huge so well worth your money! read more

When we walked in we were quickly seated. They brought water and menus and came back in a few minutes to take our order. The service was pretty friendly and on top of everything. My app of spicy tuna jalapeños and an avocado roll was really good! I enjoyed them both and would order them again The black oil chicken ramen was solid! I really enjoyed the fresh corn and sprouts in addition to the chicken. My chicken was fine but had several pieces of grizzle. The noodles were cooked perfectly. Overall I would certainly come back. The prices are fair for what you get read more

Seriously you have to try the Ramen here. Can't wait to go back. Weekly date night spot for sure!

The restaurant faces the Inner Harbor and has a significant amount of bar seats as well as tables. It's mostly an open plan with the kitchen at the back. The guyoza were good. The ramen was tasty and had plenty of additions. They weren't the best noodles ever but they were perfectly reasonable for the broth I selected. I sat at one of the open bench seats. Service was only ok, but the order came quick and I was checked on multiple times. read more

Solid ramen place, fast service/takeout, very consistent flavor, and a cute spot with delightful decor. The sushi rolls aren't my fave but the pork chop bento is a great non ramen choice. read more

We were in town and stumbled upon Ramen Utsuke, and so happy we did. The staff was pleasant and accommodated our party of eight right away. The vegetarian noodles were amazing. I loved that they had two different noodle types and broth. The broth had the right amount of flavors, not too salty, which is what I like. The tofu, corn, egg, and seafood were so tasty- the right amount of flavor. Def check this place out. Good food and the price point is very reasonable. read more

In town for the AIM convention. Our initial server might have been overwhelmed. Not sure if the church crowd might have done it but she was giving Daria vibes. Nonetheless, as service progressed she seemed to loosen up. The food! The only thing I didn't care for was the wings they took them off the bill I bit into it and the texture and it was over cooked and aside having a floaty in my water the rest of the food was too too good! I got the fried dumplings with a tuna poke bowl. Everything my friends got also looked good!! Every one was nice I'm sure they were just tired. And everything was reasonably priced especially for that amount of food. I forgot to take a picture because I ate it all read more

Good ramen and good price. If you need to go to the university of Maryland and looking for a good value for your tummy and taste buds - go here. Lots of constant patrons throughout the lunch hour. Food was tasty and the wait was short. Simple seating for a quick eat and run especially if you have to go to class or a meeting. read more

Delicious! I ordered the classic chicken ramen and shishito pepper appetizer. I requested jalapeños and for it to be 'very spicy'. I wish I added a few more veggies like mushroom, but it was still wonderful! I love the broth and will request extra next time. Very fast service! The servers were so nice, extremely attentive, and worked naturally as a team! read more

Ramen Utsuke - Classic Shio Broth Ramen - Chicken - Ramen Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

Came in here for lunch on a Saturday and waited about 20 minutes for a table for four. Once we were seated it was quick, friendly service. Place was average in size with a decent amount of tables, if not a bit crowded together. Pretty much how a busy ramen joint should and normally is, set up. We all really like our ramen. Nicely flavored broth that paired well with the toppings. The only small fault for me was the temperature of the broth was not as hot as I would have liked. Not a deal breaker, just a minor note. Prices were reasonable and portions were normal. I would definitely recommend this spot for your ramen fix. read more

While I was in the DMV, I stopped by this place because it was one of the few places open on a Sunday. I was craving ramen. So I came to check it out. The ambience here is cool. So is the vibe. Service was decent. A bunch of young kids. No prob. I got the regular ramen. Nothing extra or special. Price was a bit high for my comfort. But not really a big deal. Portions were meh. And flavor was kind of lacking. I live in the 626. So I know real ramen. No disrespect, but this wasn't all that great. It was aight. Nothing much to add. I don't have photos because it was so basic. Not talking smack, but it wasn't for me. read more

This place was pretty packed on a weekday evening with a short wait prior to being seated! We ordered the tonkatsu ramen, spicy salmon roll, and pork donburi. All were tasty, though perhaps a little over salted for the donburi. Notably, everything was very reasonably priced for the generous portion size. Limited nearby street parking available for a low price. read more

Super friendly people with tasty food. The place seemed super popular so it's kind of full most of the time. I stayed next door at the hotel, and I kept walking by and every time someone opened the door when I walk by it was smelling amazing. So I decided to stop in. I decide to get it to go because there was a wait for a table, and also I just wanted to watch the football game lol. Tonkotsu black Ramen has a nice texture to it where it's slightly firm yet breaks, the cha chiu , AKA the pork, has a great deep porky flavor to it, the parts with the fat are absolutely melt in your mouth, the parts that are less fatty are a little bit more tough, not hard to chew but definitely a little more tough. It has a deep flavor that Chinese roast pork has. Mushrooms are excellent and snappy egg is nicely cooked and still a little gooey yet is solid. The broth is rich and creamy, though texturally a little bit less so, I wish it was a little thicker, but I definitely enjoyed it! read more

Loved coming here! I'm a vegetarian and they had OPTIONS! We sat at the communal tables which was fun. We were on a time limit for a concert at CFG. The service was friendly and quick. We started with edamame which was perfectly salted and easy to eat. Waters we're constantly refilled while we ate. I got the ginger miso with tofu and it was delicious! Flavorful broth, perfectly soft egg, and crunchy corn and cabbage. Also soju was the perfect pre game for the concert. I definitely would come back here before a show at CFG, it was like a 10 minute walk which was easy. Highly recommend! read more

My friend and I came here over the weekend for lunch. It's a nice casual spot and wasn't too busy when we arrived but it got packed quickly. The friendly staff welcomed us with a Japanese greeting which is neat. For our meals, I got the Black & Red Paitan Shoyu while my friend got the Black Tonkotsu Shoyu. My ramen was so good! It was spicy but not overwhelming to be uncomfortable which is what I was hoping for. The chicken wasn't dried out like some places I've been to. Such a comforting and delicious meal on a cold day. I am looking forward to coming back again! read more

First time at Ramen Utsuke. It was about 40 minutes before closing--friendly service. We received our food relatively quick and we didn't feel rushed. Everything was delicious. I added some spice to my paitan shoyu and it was just enough. This place definitely goes to the top of my ramen spot list. read more

Nice convenient location right by the Inner Harbor. I took a walk along the water to work up an appetite. The wait wasn't too bad for dine in, I waited about 10 minutes. I ordered the garlic shishito peppers and tonkotsu red and black. The shishitos were perfectly cooked and seasoned, very garlicky and delicious. The tonkotsu ramen was surprisingly big, 3 big slices of meat, half egg, seaweed, bean sprouts, and green onions. The soup was creamy and good. Noodles tasted very fresh. But, I didn't like that the egg was super cold, and the peppery taste (I think it is coming from the soup or maybe it is in the black garlic? Something is very peppery tasting in here and it overpowers the other flavors. Overall I really enjoyed my experience here. The restaurant is very clean and I like the Fusian decor. The walls had Japanese influences. The giant tv screen was playing a food show. This place is family friendly and could be a nice place for work gathering or a foodie date. read more

Ramen Utsuke knows what's up. That broth? Basically a warm hug for my soul. Noodles? Chewy perfection. The egg? I'd write it a love letter if I could. The vibe inside is super cozy -- warm lights, friendly staff, and just enough hustle and bustle to remind you you're about to eat something good. Tables are kinda close together, so be ready to become temporary besties with your neighboring slurpers. Only reason it's not five stars is because my stomach wanted a second bowl but my wallet said absolutely not. Also, the wait can feel long when you're hangry, but it's worth it. Catch me there again, pretending I'm in a tiny ramen shop in Tokyo. Just let me slurp in peace. read more

Love this ramen spot! It's really close to the inner harbor, so parking can be a little difficult sometimes. They often also have a long wait on popular nights (had to wait 30 min on a Saturday, but I haven't needed to on other nights! The servers are very nice and answer any questions you have! My favorite part of this place is the number of vegetarian options! I really like the spicy seasame broth it's so good! Highly recommend! read more

We've been twice to Ramen Utsuke and have enjoyed it both times. The red and garlic is very tasty and comes out nice and hot. I forgot to skip the bean sprouts, but that's ok. Nice selection of appetizers and it's not too noisy inside. You do need all of your party to be seated and that's fine. I'm always full about halfway through because we order appetizers AND ramen. Staff is super friendly and refills your water often. They make great suggestions when asked. This is by far my favorite ramen place in the city. I think they validate parking but only on certain days and we forgot to ask both times we've been. We also got the fried eel balls with fish flakes on top and wings not pictured. We will definitely be coming back. It's great for hangover cures and general ramen wants. read more

I went to Ramen Utsuke during a day exploring Baltimore. I was able to get seated quickly but I went at an odd time (5:30pm on a Saturday), I hear it gets busy at peak times so recommend calling and making an appointment ahead of time. The ambiance is smart casual and lots of seating for small groups with some cool artwork scattered around. I tried the pork dumplings, chicken ramen, and takoyaki. I must say.. everything was cooked to perfectIon and so tasty!! The spicy chicken ramen had really good flavor and noodles were high quality. The takoyaki was freshly made and super savory. The pork dumplings also tasted freshly made. We also had pretty good and fast service overall. Hands down - must try ramen spot!! read more

I've had ramen up and down the east coast and have purposefully sought out the highest rated ramen restaurants in New York, Philadelphia, New Jersey, Washington D.C.. all the way down to Florida. I must say that Ramen Utsuke is very good and absolutely deserves a high rating. The tonkotsu (black and red) is phenomenal and I have ordered it several times, consistently being delicious. The prices are quite reasonable and it's extremely quick. I have also ordered several of their appetizers which are also great. My favorite appetizers are: - fried chicken - steamed dumplings - gyoza - spring rolls read more

I came here with a few people for an early dinner. We were sat quickly, but it was very busy inside! I'm sure if we came a bit later, we would have had to wait for a bit. I enjoyed the ambiance, especially with the lanterns hanging up. The art and design was fun to look at too. I wanted to share a bunch of things, so I ordered a lot. I got the creamy veggie ramen, which was delicious! I really liked the broth/sauce and the veggies. I also had some of the sweet potato roll, california roll, tempura shrimp, and gyoza. In my opinion, the ramen was better than the rolls. I liked the sweet potato best. The tempura was very crunchy, but a bit oily. The gyoza was slightly overcooked in my opinion. Overall though, it was all delicious and it came out really fast! read more

Food was great, arrived quickly. The staff were nice and we didn't have to wait long for a party of 4. The restaurant itself is also really nice, but one the smaller side so you could expect a wait on busy days. Overall I would recommend trying it out if you're in the area. read more

Visiting Baltimore and came across this ramen spot. It did not disappoint! I order the Tonkotsu Shoyu Red and Black. So good and flavorful yall! I also ordered the spicy edamame. All was so good.

It was getting close to closing time so there was only a handful of customers dining in. Great choice! read more

If you want ramen, check this place out! We ordered Paitan Red and Black wavy noodles (spicy) and tuna rolls. Ambience: booth and high table seating available. Chill environment with music playing overhead. There was no wait and everyone was very friendly. Service: good service. Quality: the food quality is the star of the show. This ramen was beyond delicious- rich in flavor with some spice. I had some leftovers and ate the remainder the next day- it has great reheat value. My fiancé greatly enjoyed the tuna rolls. read more
