Super impressed with the ramen here! It was our first time trying Satori I side North Market, but it won't be our last. Service was friendly and quick. Little counter to sit and dine "in" which was nice. Only negative is the seats are right in front of the exterior doors so it can blow cold air in on you which isn't great, but it's still better than finding seating upstairs. We got a spicy ramen and a tonkotsu and both were really solid. Price was about $15 each give or take, which is on par with most ramen spots around town. I liked my tonkotsu ramen enough that I'd definitely get it again! read more

Santori was one of the vendor stalls we chose to try during our visit to North Market and I am so glad we did. I loved the traditional ramen counter bar vibe, and the ramen was absolutely amazing. We went with the Veggie Shoyu which provided an amazing flavor profile. We weren't sure how spicy we wanted to, so they gave us some chili sauce so we could customize it. We also ordered the seasonal Veg Croquette which was a filled with a delicious mashed potato mixture and served with some Tonkatsu sauce which was an amazing combo. I wish I lived in Columbus so I could get this ramen more often! read more

I honestly question whether the people leaving five-star reviews have ever had truly good ramen. First, the broth was served only lukewarm. For tonkotsu ramen, temperature matters. When the broth isn't hot enough, the rich pork-bone aroma is greatly diminished while the greasiness becomes much more noticeable. The chashu was also disappointing. Properly seared chashu should have a beautiful golden-brown color and a slightly caramelized exterior. Instead, both slices were black on the underside, as if they had been overcooked rather than properly seared. The noodles were the biggest letdown. They were stiff and lifeless, almost like chewing on sticks. There was no wheat flavor whatsoever, and honestly, the noodles tasted lower quality than what you'd get at Panda Express. Who taught you to make noodles like this? The very first bite made me want to gag. That said, I want to make it clear that this review is directed solely at the food. Every staff member I interacted with was kind, friendly, and professional. The service was genuinely excellent, and I really liked the people working there. Unfortunately, great service alone can't make up for food that was this disappointing. I honestly question whether the people leaving five-star reviews have ever had truly good ramen.

We went to Satori Ramen Bar after a very cold, 20 degree, tour of Ohio Stadium. Hot ramen was a perfect warm up! Hubby and I shared the edamame, gyoza, and each got ramen. Everything came out hot and fresh. Service was friendly but maybe a tad slow. It's located in the bustling North Market and you eat at a counter, so it's definitely casual but we very much enjoyed it! read more

I've been here a few times and sadly I don't think this place is for me, the service is excellent! The staff is amazing! However the few times I've been here the food has made me ill. :( My go to is the tonkatsu ramen, when I had it last the meat had an odd floral/ fruity flavor that seeped into the rest of the food. The broth was savory and delicious until the meat flavor got into it. I was only able to eat about a third of it before I started feeling bad. Maybe I've just come in bad days. It's a lovely spot though, don't take my word for it, it might be your next favorite spot. read more

The staff is really friendly! As soon as we walked into the market they greeted us immediately! The menu had a lot of great options from spicy options to more savory and traditional choices. It was really hard to choose, but we ended up settling with a Kara Kapow and had to try the Abura Soba, which was a broth-less choice. I've never had a broth-less ramen dish before but absolutely think the Abura Soba is a MUST try. The flavors married each other perfectly, the garlic soy sauce and the hint of chili oil was one of the best flavor combination I've ever had. I made my boyfriend swap dishes with me because I ended up loving this more than mine, and my Kara Kapow was wicked good! I ordered the Kara Kapow with an extra soy egg and at a medium heat level. It was really really good, if you like spicy ramen I would definitely go with this dish! We loved the wrap around bar at this place, it was really nice to be able to walk right up, place your order and have a seat and also be able to watch them make your food and see what other people are ordering. read more

So this place is in the North Market in Columbus Ohio, this Market is pretty cool and is full of food vendors of all different ethnicities. It was about 40 degrees outside so when I came across this ramen place it sounded good. This place reminded me of a place in Japan, it is an open concept with a bar seating around said open kitchen. In the back they have pots of broth bubbling away and it all looked very good. The place was super clean and the staff was very friendly. I went for my favorite and tried and true Tonkatsu. This version of Ramen has the normal favorites on it such as green onion, earwood mushrooms, charred Chasu, marinated soft boiled egg and the twist....pickled ginger. Oh yea and noodles The broth was pretty good, it was porky, fatty and hot. It had good deep flavor. The egg was good. Most times places over cook these eggs but not this place, it was well cooked and it was jammy and had great flavor with the soy marinade. The Chasu had great flavor, maybe just a little tough with the chew but the broth made it a little less Tough. The noodles were great as well. They were chewy, had a good bite, not over cooked and held the broth well. I couldn't be happier with them. So if everything was good why the low rating? Unfortunately it was the pickled ginger. This ingredient ruined the whole bowl. It was julienned cut and put as a topping and I like ginger but it's a strong ingredient and a little goes a long ways and when you mixed it all in all you tasted was ginger. It's amazing how one little thing can ruin a whole dish. Would I go back? YES! I would but I would order it without the ginger on it. Maybe next Time I come through Columbus go back and redo the review on an update without the ginger being in the bowl. Go eat some ramen y'all! read more

Let me start with saying the food here is great, everyone I know who has eaten here loves it. It is my daughter's favorite place to go while we are in Columbus for Origins. However. I was unfortunately very disappointed with the service, and what seemed like a lack of caring about our issue. We placed our order (3 of us). My daughter was already seated at the bar. My son sat down while I paid, and I sat down after. We waited for 20 minutes and started wondering where our food was when things started clearing out. So we asked. Turns out they had put it on the "To go" counter. Ok, not ideal since we wanted it dine in, not in the to go containers, and we also didn't want to wait 20 minutes for it, but whatever. When we got the food out, is when we discovered that the "solids" part of my daughter's order was missing. At this point I was pretty unhappy so I went up to the counter. I told them we had been waiting for 20 minutes to eat, only to find out it had been sitting on the to go, and that it was a good thing it wasn't because one of our items was missing. His response was that they could refund me. I of course said why would I want you to refund me? He asked "What do you want me to do?", to which I of course responded that I want them to make the food so we can eat. He said they could do that, and then made some comment about how they had called out our number many times. At this point I was pretty angry, and just didn't enjoy lunch with my kids. None of the 3 of us heard them call it out, because why would they call out a to go number for our dine in order. All it would have taken was a sincere apology, which I didn't get. Instead I felt like I was treated as if we had ordered to go, and failed to pick it up, making it our fault. For reference, I have included pictures of my receipt and the order ticket from my food. And yes, of course they both say "Dine In". Sad to have such a poor experience at a place we all enjoy. read more

Ordered the Paitian chicken ramen on DoorDash while I was at work. They gave me the Kara kapow broth instead of the paitian chicken broth, which is spicy. It's not supposed to be spicy, I can't handle spicy food very well. I'm at work and had nothing else to eat so I had to attempt to eat it while sweating my face off and just overall not enjoying my food. They even wrote paitian on the broth Tupperware but it was not the right broth. Disappointed and will not be ordering from here again. From, sad, heated, and sweaty girl who dislikes spicy. :( read more

Ordered takeout and wanted to try something new, so we went with Satori! Parking was a mess per usual at North Market, but the food was so worth it. I ordered a miso ramen and my fiance got a tonkotsu ramen. We were highly impressed with the quality and taste! The presentation was also great, we liked the shredded red pepper on top for garnish. We will definitely be back to dine in! read more

$14, and it's so bad, I could only eat not even 1/2 of it. Noodle was undercooked, greasy and no flavor. I pulled a strand of noodle, and it's just "break" with zero elasticity. Staff couldn't care less, just the common "Sorry for that!". I'm familiar with your food, but it's getting worst now. I don't think the owner gives a darn about this place anymore. It's so good when it first opened. Now, it's not even meh....simply bad. read more

I ordered the Paitan Chicken Ramen. I must say I was not impressed. It contained exactly 3 little pieces of chicken. The bowl was half full and the employees were not accommodating. I had not been here in two years and the service was not the same. I only went their for my son. The price of the bowl was 15 dollars not worth it at all. I will not return here because the food is not that great or the service. read more

The food was good even if they were sold out of my first two choices. The problem that I had was the long wait for my order (22+ mins), with the food sitting ready on the counter for 10+ mins. The workflow to get orders out was terrible even as people were working to put together orders that last mile to actually deliver the food was ignored by everyone until a long wait. The ramen was good and packaged well for a to go order. read more

I went on Tuesday evening (around 5:30). Parking was super hard that time (lots of meter street parking but hard to find a spot). I ordered 3 ramens online and they were ready within 10 minutes. The person who put my food together was super nice but other staff didn't even say hello when I stood by the register to pick up my food. I felt uncomfortable waiting for my food I felt they were giving me dirty looks. Here is my review the noodles used were all the same-had a nice bite. I tried the food upstairs of the building (North Market) but the noodles were already getting clumpy so I recommend eating there and not take it home. Paitan: fried chicken was ok and the broth didn't have much flavor. Miso: a bit oily but the broth was flavorful and fishy (in a good way-smelled and tasted a nice aroma of fish). Pork was good, too, I wish it was a bit thicker. Aburasoba: this was my least favorite. This is brothless ramen but there is some sauce on the bottom. The sauce was so vinegary, salty and almost bitter. I hate leaving food over but had to. Couldn't finish it. So with the parking situation, not friendly staff and mediocre ramen, I give this place 3 stars. read more

Food -- Some of the best Ramen I've ever had! I had Tonkotsu Ramen with spice level 2, an extra marinated soft-boiled egg. A rich and flavorful broth that was probably more of 2.5 level spice. It came with green onions, seaweed, some other veg and 2 wonderful marinated soft-boiled eggs. The yolks were jam-like and tasty. The noodles are soft with a little chew. 100 times better than the packaged stuff, and I like the packaged stuff. The pork was tender and cooked perfect. Food = A. Ambiance -- Situated in a corner of the North Market. It's a small space with a tiny overall footprint. Those folks really make it work. People are always ordering or waiting to order, and people are always sitting at the bar eating or waiting on food. Always busy. Ambiance = A. Cost -- For what I ordered, noodles, extra egg and two bottles of water, around $20+. Cost = B. Environment -- One of many quaint little eateries in the North Market. A bustling bizarre of many types of food and fare. It has about any kind of fresh and prepared food you can think of. Sweets, snacks, fresh seafood and deli offerings, just to name a few. The North Market is really enjoyable experience if you're a foodie. Lots of patrons. Experience = A Service -- The service is fast and efficient. Workers always doing something for an order. You watch them prepare your food and it doesn't faze them a bit. They stay focused and on task. Quality and friendly group. Service = A. Overall -- Superb Ramen in a wonderful location and setting. You won't be disappointed. Satori never disappoints. Neither does the North Market. Overall = A. read more

My first time trying this little Ramen Bar located in the North Market. I popped in and order a ramen dish to takeout. It didn't take long for my order, so I paid and was on my way! There isn't much seating but the bar was full of people slurping away on their ramen. When I got home, I dove in to see if all that slurping I heard at the ramen bar was because it was good. I'm my humble opinion it was just okay. It defiantly better than the packaged ramen noodles you eat when you're trying to survive in college but these noodles are much more expensive!! $14 for a pretty small sized portion of noodles. I expected more for $14. All that aside, I thought the broth was really yummy!! For me it was the noodles that just weren't that great. They were clumpy and not what I've experience in more upscale ramen bars. Having said that, I would probably give this place another try but not likely any time soon. I encourage you to give it a try. Maybe you'll love it. read more

Located in the north market, I was in the mood for ramen since the cold weather has hit. I ordered the miso ramen for about $16. I thought it was a little over priced. I waited for about 10 minutes once I ordered. There was not a lot of meat in it. The noodles and broth were tasty and it was filling. But I thought it was average and good but nothing special. I was a little disappointed in the amount of other ingredients that weren't noodles. read more

I visited this booth in the North Market downtown for the first time and it was a perfect lunch for a cold day! I ordered the Kara Kapow! Ramen: spicy rich pork broth mixed with house-made chili sauce and oil served with chashu braised pork, green onions, vegetables (bean sprouts, cabbage and nira chives) with starched sauce. I ordered a level 2 spice and I'm really glad I didn't try anything higher! 2 was just spicy enough without being too much. Keep in mind when you choose your spice! read more

Went here for a couple meals since we were at Ohayocon. It's an anime convention so ramen felt appropriate. They clearly labeled which options were vegan so there was no wondering if something was okay for my boyfriend or not. We all tried several options. The food was really good. It wasn't the best, but certainly better than a few other places we've gone to. It was within walking distance of the convention center so it was convenient as well. You can pick your spice level, but we kept forgetting to. My group had the veggie shoyu bowl, vegan veggie shoyu bowl, chicken paitan bowl, veggie abura soba, and a few pork ones. The ramen broth was pretty flavorful, but some seasoning sank so a bit hard to drink. The soba was brothless, but had enough sauce on the bottom for the last few bites to be powerful. The tofu was good and soft. I wish the hot spring egg had been warm or hot, but it was still tasty. The bowls are paper so eco friendly, but the spoons are plastic. Servings were really hearty and one friend said he'd eat there daily if he lived closer. It is pretty pricey though. The counter seating was a nice convenient option or you can eat upstairs for the view. Overall it is a good soild food choice. They even had several onigiri options for an extra Japanese flair. read more

Satori Ramen does ramen correctly!!! I was in town for a convention and knew to head over to the market. Seen ramen and knew immediately what we were eating. The broth was so delightful I still dream about it. This place is on the level of nicer NY establishments I've ate at. We sat at their bar and enjoyed our bowls I got the vegan bowl. Was interesting it came with asparagus in it but oddly enough paired well. Portion size was great for a to go ramen. Cannot wait to stop back when in town for another bowl!!! read more

One of the best looking booths in the building. Its also one of the busiest. I usually head for Lan Viet if the line is too long. I got the Shoyu ramen but like Tonkatsu better. The soft boiled egg in it is delicious. Ingredients are fresh and the broth was good. The presentation was always part of the appeal with these bowls. That is lost on the take-out bowls. That seems to be the norm nowadays. The bowls are interesting, however. I will be trying more bowls now that the weather is getting colder. read more

First, this place is located inside the giant North Market center, so park in the market parking lot. Take your ticket with you so they can validate for cheap parking (dollar or so). Second, they have menus up at the counter, so snag one before you hop in the long line. Line moves pretty fast, and they get the food out fast as well. Third, if there is no seating at the bar.. take it upstairs! I was very pleased with my ramen. I picked the kara kapow, spicy level 2. The noodles were just right, firm and not soft. The broth was not too salty. We had the ramen egg, and it was a bit salty for us. I look forward to coming back and trying their other broths. I miss having sich a satisfying meal. read more

We love frequenting the shops at the North Market and we were curious about this ramen bar. Ordering was easy and wait was short. We got the tonkotsu and Kara kapow. The noodles in both were good and the Kara kapow was pretty flavorful. The tonkotsu flavor wasn't bad but it wasn't good. It somehow didn't have the deep fatty richness of other tonkotsu we've had (tbf one experience was in Japan) and the meat was over cooked. They also put pickled ginger inside the bowl which normally I like but because the soup lacked depth, the ginger overpowered the broth. The worst part about our meal (at least to me) was that we had to listen to the employees talk smack about customers for most of our meal. We sat two seats from the register and there was someone the workers knew in the first seat. I've worked good service before and I know how it goes, but at least move away from customers or talk quietly. We might come back and try different dishes but it might be a while. read more

I love frequenting the North Market and whenever I notice a new place pop in, I'm always eager to give it a try. I was especially excited to try out Satori because they have quite a few vegetarian ramen options and that my friends, can be hard to find. I arrived on a weekday afternoon and after narrowing down my options, I decided to go with the veggie shoyu. This bowl came with a veggie broth (yassss!), grilled tofu, greens, a soft-boiled egg, asparagus, and a few other things thrown in the mix. I took a seat at their bar and waited for only a few minutes before my food was ready. For $11, I was full af when I finished. Actually, I couldn't even finish the entire thing. The noodles just kept coming and coming. It was like Mary Poppin's bag, but a bowl of noodles, haha. When it comes to the flavor, it was spot on. Sometimes with veggie broth that full bodied flavor can be lacking but not here. It was great! I will definitely be back to try their other veggie option and the veggie gyoza. If you're in the North Market and feelking adventurous, definitely give them a shot. read more

Well it's no Fukyru or Tiger Lily but if you're in the area and want some ramen, this is pretty good. You'll find this ramen bar in the corner of the North Market. When I went it was a super crowded day but I was lucky enough to land a seat at the bar. There was a super long line to order but it moved relatively quickly. The menu has a host of different options. I ordered the miso ramen and my companion ordered the soba. It took a little while for our order to come up but when we got it, we were ready to dig in. The food had a beautiful presentation. The portions are great for the price point. This wasn't as savory as ramen I've had at the aforementioned Columbus spots but it was still pretty good. I wish that the seating space had been cleaner and that they kept the utensil jars full. The table was sticky and really gross. Otherwise, this place is another great addition to the North Market! read more

When you walk in you instantly get the vibe of a Japanese ramen bar which is a huge plus! There was not much of a line and it moved pretty quick. There were just enough options of ramen and they had some new ones that have not been released yet. I honestly like that there are not a lot of options so you know they are extremely focused on the quality of each ramen produced. The ramen ranged from $10-$16 from what I remembered. There are limited seating since it is in North Market, but my friend and I were able to sit down and enjoy our bowl of ramen. It is served in a compostable bowl that you can recycle! Now onto the ramen: it is delicious! The tonkatsu broth was just the right amount of creamy for my own personal taste. There was a char on the pork and it added extra flavor. The pork was soooo render it would fall apart when you even tried to pick it up. That's a winning meat to me. The egg had the creamy yolk texture and the sweet soy sauce taste. I love Woodear mushrooms which is what they give you. It just has a nice Almost crunchy texture to help balance out the soft textures. There was too much sesame seeds in my own opinion but it's minor. I'm salivating just thinking about the ramen. A must try!!! read more
