What an adorable ramen shop! They have an adorable mascot and name. They are right at the bottom of a parking garage which is very convenient. We had no issues finding parking at Easton at a Saturday at lunchtime and no problems getting a table for 4 at slurping turtle. We were seated and taken care of by our hostess quickly and our waitress was absolutely lovely. She was kind and knowledgeable, great at her job (I think her name was Tatianna sp?). She offered to explain the menu to us because we had never been there before and she made some great recommendations which we followed. I ordered a chicken bao bun which was steamed to perfection and was juicy with fresh greens. I had the shrimp ramen which was amazing! The broth was flavorful, there was a good amount of shrimp in there, and all the ingredients were fresh. My friends and I embodied the slurping turtle. I would highly recommend this restaurant- it's cute, good amount of tables, with a funky fresh interior, good vibes, and great staff. Had a great lunchtime experience here and would highly recommend it. read more

Well let's start off with I was extremely pumped about coming to the this place. The opening was pushed out so many times it felt like it was never going to happen. I would walk past and peek into the covered windows just to maybe catch a glimpse of movement.... And it was a let down. The service and price and quantity it just wasn't there for me. Which is a shame. It could have so much more potential. When we first arrived to the restaurant there was absolutely no one to greet us. We even had not one but three different employees walk right by us and not even acknowledge us standing waiting. Nothing. After standing and waiting for about 5 mins my husband just asked on the servers if it was ok to grab the two open bar seats. She looked at us like we were crazy for asking. But we wanted to love this place and just put it all to the restaurant just opening up and maybe they are still just getting the hang of things. We sat down and then the bartender was super chatty like he knew we were a little more than let down. He took our orders, drinks and food. Our edamame came out and we were a bit confused because the spicy sauce was not on the edamame but in a little side dish so we ended up pouring it on the edamame. But once we had the sauce on it was actually really really good. Then our ramen came...the ramen and broth itself was absolutely fantastic the favors were spot on the noodles were cooked just right. So as they sat in the hot broth they didn't go soggy. As a dish it was fantastic. But where I had the problem was the protein. Myself I had the chicken cooked in duck fat. It was very good but it came with three that's right three tiny blocks of chicken. And most of it was skin. For the price tag of the $17 I would expect more. You seriously are paying $17 for noodles and broth. My husband had the pork belly which was all fat 100% and the meatballs he got two which were delicious but seriously that is not enough protein to justify the cost of the entire bowl. And here is the real kicker. So the entire time we were there the situation with no one greeting customers coming in kept happening. There was a handful of different families and couples that just stood waiting and waiting. At one point my husband had to use the restroom and asked an employee walking by where the location was. She had to completely stop and remove headphones from both ears to respond. This person come to the end of our dinner was the hostess. So no wonder they was no one manning the front. All in all it was a complete let down. Personally there are so many other restaurants in the area to choose from or within a short drive for exceptional ramen. read more

Ramen holds a special place in my heart. I'm really big into Anime and Japanese culture. I've had real Ramen probably before most of the city before it was a big thing here. So when I heard about this place I had to do my duty and give it a go lol. But about a month later I was invited to go so it was the perfect time to test this place out. When judging a Ramen spot I always come and get their basic bowls first. So the Classic Tokyo Shoyu was my choice. However I did add the Duck Fat Fried Chicken on the side. When it came out it had an ok appearance. Not the prettiest bowl of ramen i've ever had, but not bad at all. My first rule is before I added anything into a bowl im tasting for the first time, I have to taste the broth first. It was solid, however I felt like the flavor was lacking a richness I enjoy with my bowls. This bowl comes with Pork Belly. They come in nice size chunks, traditionally they come in thin slices, but i'm not complaining. The pork did have a nice flavor I will say. And it was tender. I really enjoyed the pork in the bowl, but i will say that the one thing I will knock on it is that since it came in like thicker chunks or thick slices the fat was maybe a little too much. Like when I bit into it, I was getting a big piece of fat in my mouth, which some people may be turned off by. But for me it didn't ruin anything, but i'd prefer a little less there. I did place the Fried Chicken into the bowl as well. It was ok. I didn't feel like it was any different from any other fried Chicken i've had in Ramen before. I like the idea of having it fried in duck fat, however I don't think that it really brought any element I could taste to the chicken. It's just something that sounds good when you are trying to order your meal. The noodles were ok as well, nothing special. They had a decent bite to them, but it just wasn't doing it for me. Overall this bowl was about average for me. I didn't feel like it lived up to what I want from a good bowl of ramen. To the normal person I think they would really enjoy it though, but i'd prefer a couple of different places in Columbus if I wanted an excellent bowl of Ramen. However with that said it is not bad at all, i'd like to emphasize that! Also Ill add that the DFFC Miso Ramen broth was a little bit better then my bowls. I did like the environment though. It was very clean and well setup. Most tables have an individual light set above them to give that very nice light over your food that is perfect for a picture and seeing what you are going to eat, which I feel like always enhanced your experience. I like that this place did have anime on the Tv and had a lot of my fav characters on the walls by the bathrooms. I felt like they wanted to give off that cool Japanese vibe. And for the most part it hit it. However I do have 2 things to say that I didn't really like. First is that the seating in the middle is like a bunch of tables with chairs/stools that don't really move. I found it not the most comfortable. It felt like my butt kept on falling forward. I am 6'3 200+lb so i'm not the smallest creature, but the thing that makes it worse is that the friend i was with is about 5'2, and they felt the same way as i did. So we had to ask for another seat. I'd recommend if you come here you request one of the booths. Second thing is the bathrooms. My friend had this complaint: They didn't like the fact that the bathrooms were super small. There is the toilet and that's pretty much it. When you wash your hands you come out to a central area and wash your hands and people can look in from the dining area and see you. My friend didn't like this at all. It wasn't a super big thing for me, but she wasn't feeling it. She would rather have her privacy and more space in a bathroom. I felt like it would have been better off to have 2 separate bathrooms with more space and their own sinks. However the sink that they do have is very pretty and cool lol!. Service was nice. I really can't complain about anything other than when we swapped seats and our second server guy kind of forgot stuff in our order. But I called our old server back over and he continued serving us after that and made sure we had everything and went above and beyond serving us. His name was Rylin, I might have spelled it wrong but it sounds like that. But I wanted to shout him out on his good job. Overall this place had a very good Ambience and Environment. Service was nice but the Ramen was just ok for me. I really wouldn't seek this place out if I was JUST looking for a bowl of good Ramen, but it might be good if I wanted a nice place to hang with friends and eat ramen together. read more

Worth the wait. Favorite is the DFFC spicy Ramen Bowl. Gyoza we're good too! They have good options for kids too.

It should be a testament to my curiosity that I ordered takeout ramen to eat in my car to try this place out. Service was super friendly and the food was VERY well wrapped. I got the DFFC ramen. The food was great - the broth was piping hot. (The only way to eat it. None of that lukewarm silliness.) Not all of it fit in the bowl, so I poured most of it in and poured the rest in when I had eaten some of the goodies. The chicken was NOT skimpy, in contrast to some of the reviews I saw. I had an entire chicken thigh. It was very filling and I will definitely be back to try cocktails. I'm not ready to start dining in yet, but this will be on the list. read more

They make their own noodles. Maybe they shouldn't. They weren't great. The broth didn't have the depth of flavor you expect from a ramen place. I'm not a ramen snob. They raised expectations, and then failed to deliver on quality. The atmosphere and decor and vibe are all really nice. The waiter was great. But the food was disappointing. Not worth the long wait. read more

I LOVEEEE THEIR POKE. don't play when u see me enter that restaurant. those servers quiver when they see me enter. best restaurant ever with good seating and lighting, along with music. When I leave that place I'm overjoyed and stuffed. I love this place and their poke. I highly recommend their California poke. I'm drooling and craving it just thinking about it. I would marry that dish ( ps I'm 14 but I think I'm able to marry it still ) read more

Slurping Turtle is a boutique restaurant that just opened up in the newer section of Easton Town Center specializing in Ramen and cuisine with a Japanese flare. Across from True Food and next to Macy. Plenty of free parking garages to meter parking on the street nearby. I decided to order takeout this evening after seeing social media posts after opening yesterday. The food looked sooo good. This restaurant is Japanese inspired and definitely what Columbus needed. Grab some small bites, Ramen to Chahan. What is Chahan you ask? It is a Japanese dish that encompasses fried rice, meat and veggies. I ordered the roasted chicken Bao and Chahan with ribeye and added shrimp. What is Bao you ask? A steamed doughy bun usually stuffed with meat and other goodies. The Bao was perfectly fluffy, soft and savory. The roasted chicken had a great flavor but a little on the dryer side. I will definitely try the pork belly next time. The Chahan was perfectly packaged and very appetizing. Not to salty, not over fried and the flavors were nothing I ever had. A must try. Take out is so hard. It's a balance to make sure your guests get the same experience as if they ate at the restaurant but with the convenience. Kuddos to Turtle 2GO. A great experience and wet my appetite to try more of the menu. Update to the review coming soon. read more

Today was my first time trying Slurping Turtle. I called to place a pick-up order. Rachel was very polite on the phone and took my order promptly. I was told my order would be ready in 20 minutes. I arrived and was quickly greeted. My order was ready. Very seamless takeout process. I appreciated the thoughtful packaging so the ramen was not soggy as the miso broth was packaged separately. I had the shrimp tempura bao buns and the DFFC spicy ramen. I wish I would have ordered more of the bao buns. They were perfectly soft and I loved the remoulade sauce with the shrimp tempura. My ramen was full of flavor and all of the ingredients were fresh. I am usually not one to try spicy foods. The miso was delicious and still had some heat to it with the chili oil. It's nice that the restaurant is attached to the parking garage at Easton. read more

My husband andStopped by Sunday afternoon and were warmly greeted. We sat at the bar and chatted with the manager Daphne & the bartender. We were open to try a little bit of everything so we choose the pork belly bao buns, Duck Fat fried chicken app, spicy tuna roll. The portions were large and satisfying. We took our time eating & chatting it up; admiring the beautiful new restaurant and things started to pick up. The restaurant was practically full ("full" in COVID times) there was a line at the door and the staff was moving. We then had 2 types of Ramen, the Tan Tan & the Tonkotsu. I had the tonkotsu which had a rich broth, corn, pork belly, bok Choy, and added a soft egg. My husband had the Tan Tan which I tried & was way more spicy but delish all as well. We hoped to try the mochi ice cream but at this point we both needed a walk. Also---- the noodles are made in HOUSE! There's a little room off the dining area that you can see them being made. The bathrooms were sparkling clean, each was it own individual cubical with a communal hand sink. Very cool & yummy experience. I actually told my boss about it on Tuesday, he went Tuesday afternoon for lunch. He enjoyed it so much he gave me a gift card. We will ALL BE BACK. * they're new, so like all new restaurants they're still ironing out some kinks and figuring things out. And it's COVID times, so take it easy & you'll have a great time. read more

Fantastic food as always. One of my family's fav places to eat when we are in the area

First time here and there was hot pink lipstick on the rim of my drink... not mine. The food tasted and smelled like hot garbage. I ordered something to go and immediately wanted to cancel it after I tried my food. The bald sweaty manager came out and flipped out on me because I didn't like the food when there was clearly something wrong with it. It was not only a turn off to me but the people beside me also were shocked that a manager would talk to a customer this way. I also overheard the manager yelling at the staff in a way that you should never talk to people this way. If I could give this place a zero I would. Horrible experience, horrible food, and horrible customer service. I will never ever be back. 0/10 read more

This is an excellent addition to Easton! Try the Duck Fat Fried Chicken, you will not be disappointed. Pho bowls are huge, and very hearty. The only negative was they ran out of Sapporo (shipping issues, understandable during COVID), and the music was way too loud, we could hardly hear our server. read more

been here multiple times now, will keep coming back. on the pricier side but so worth it. the food is so good read more

Service/Atmosphere- Pros: The hostess is attentive and the restaurant is Covid prepared. The atmosphere is light and open The background music is a mix of 90s & 00's Server brings 6oz glasses and water in a tall shareable glass upon greeting the table Cons: The only thing in the wrapped napkin is chopsticks. If you do not like or have kids, be sure to ask for forks right from the get go. It takes them a while to bring them to you. If you order appetizers or sushi plan on asking for plates or they will bring the shareable food to the table with no plates and then seem shocked that you need them. The hightop bar tables look progressive but are not pleasant to sit on. They have your butt and legs going numb within 20 mins. Food- Pros: Gyoza is delicious. Chicken and leek dumpling that was not over cooked. 6 dumplings on the plate. Shrimp and Veggie Tempura was tasty but a little disappointing. Only two average size tempura shrimp with the rest veggies. Sushi came out in an elegant display Slurps come out faster than sometimes the appetizers. They have a variety to satisfy any persons preference with chicken, pork and vegetarian options. Cons: The sushi came out looking pretty, but did not hit the mark. In comparison to other sushi places around town, the sushi was bland and overpriced. The volcano had a spin where the crab was cooked on the top giving it a volcano black look but it tasted burnt and not flavorful. The slurps are good but that's it. It's just as good as doctoring up Roman noodles at home. Both good but one is over priced. Our server made us feel like we should already know about "slurps" and/or everything else, out of the norm, on the menu. He was generally non-existent. In all, it's worth trying for the atmosphere and as being a new restaurant in town but plan on leaving feeling blah about the food and your wallet a little empty. read more

I was intrigued by this spot for some time now. I venture in thinking it was carry out, but saw the swank dining area and decided to order online at another time. You have to call your order in, but it was seamless. I had to try the duck fat chicken wings since that seemed to be the fan favorite. They did not disappoint! So flavorful, well seasoned. I ordered the edamame, which was a good appetizer. For my meal, I ordered shrimp shio ramen. The broth was one of the best tasting broths I have ever tasted. The flavors were plentiful. The noodles were a little package tasting, but overall it was a good dish. read more

Picked up some Tonkotsu ramen and sushi to go and paid nearly $90 for 2 people for lunch. It's a bit pricey; I imagine because it's at Easton and one of the new trendy places. Foodwise, however, you can get better tasting ramen elsewhere in Columbus. It wasn't bad, just average. The sushi was fresh and the ramen portions were large. read more

After months of seeing the "coming soon" sign in Easton's newest addition, I'm pleased to we had a great experience at Slurping Turtle. The restaurant fills a gap in the current area offerings and but fits the feel of the area. As the name would imply, noodles are the staple but we actually had lots of fun doing this a little different. We ran the gamut and actually just order everything from the appetizer and small plates menu. For the wide range of items each of them were well done and the variety made for a great meal. read more

We decided to stop in to this place after a vacation on our way home, I'm not really sure what this restaurant deserves but to start off our experience we were sat and waited 30 minutes to be greeted by a server. While waiting those 30 minutes we watched 3 tables be sat and served before us. After I asked the host TWICE what was going on and why we weren't being served after waiting for 30 minutes, the server finally came over and apologized saying there were only two of them. But they still sat and served people after seating us so that was a stupid way to guilt trip your table lol. I'm giving them two stars because at least the food was great, service was absolute trash though. And no they were not busy. Almost all the tables that were already there were gone by the time our server arrived to get our order lol read more

The food was great. What really irritates me is the fact the bartender was the waiter for part of the restaurant while two lady's stood by a podium not doing much. He was slow to assist tables and every table he asked did you want some volcano sauce with your meal. It's a sauce. You wouldn't expect to pay $1.50 per person for it in a little soy sauce bowl. I didn't think I was eating at a use car dealership and having things bolted on without telling me a price or that it was extra. We heard him do it to every table. Something like this could cost them business. read more

This place is very, very, good. I've never been to a ramen restaurant before, and I was pleasantly surprised. They just opened a few days ago, and are still working out the kinks, but they did a great job. We had the spider roll as an appetizer, and it was delicious. I don't know where they get their soy sauce or wasabi from, but it's hands down better flavors then what you buy in the grocery store. We got the Tan tan men ramen bowl, meatballs and pork miso, etc, spicy. Very good, excellent flavor. Also go the Duck fat fried chicken miso ramen, and was not disappointed. So much flavor and depth. I especially liked the egg cooked in it, and of course, who doesn't like a little duck fat? We really enjoyed it. Tara, the manager, was so sweet and runs a tight ship. Check this place out! read more

The food was the star! I would like to give more stars for the food as the flavors were amazing and unique. However, our server had very poor training and wasn't able to answer any question we had. He was nice, but unfamiliar with menu, drinks, etc. and it was a little painful. For instance, when asking about a bloody mary, he said he knew they had grenadine. We asked about coffee and he said they "sometimes have it but not right now." EEK. The communal style tables in most of the restaurant look cool, but the bar stools (seating) are extremely uncomfortable and actually hard to sit in as they actually push you forward making you slide out of the seat. I had to brace myself to stay seated. We asked to move to a booth which was much better but the booths are very limited. We had poke bowls, ramen and sushi for our lunch and the food WAS really great thank goodness! It wouldn't take a lot to improve on staff training and would suggest the interior designer try to SIT in the chairs they selected for a few minutes. read more

Let me just start by saying, this restaurant is AMAZING. My second visit since they've opened and they're totally worth it. The ramen, is authentic, worth the money, and totally worth what they say it is. The broth is flavorful, the meat is tender, and the variety of veggies is absolutely amazing. Theyre bao buns are just as tasty, and equally crafted with precise and flavorful ingredients. If you want an authentic Ramen place? Come here. You won't be disappointed. read more

After hearing good things, the disappointment was a turd on our tongues. Of the four entrees we ordered, none of them tasted good. I pushed mine away after two bites. No one could finish the food.

So we threw it all away. Avoid this crappy place. read more

So delicious!! Went out for a friends birthday, they will take reservations which is a huge plus. We had a few cocktails and as you can see ordered a little of everything off the menu.
