My amazing fiancé and I tried the absolutely stellar Speakeasy Ramen as a birthday meal for her today and it was phenomenal. I HIGHLY recommend, fantastic staff, wonderful food, and really comfortable and very Ohio environment. I tried the tonkotsu ramen & lemon lavender cocktail (and their name TBD holiday cocktail) She had Their vegetarian Thai curry ramen and their blueberry lemonade cocktail Definitely worth the drive to Springfield. read more

A hidden little gem of a place. A great menu to fulfill your ramen craving. Terrific portions to the bowl. I'm used to half an egg, they give you both halves. The broth is good. I do want to add, the noodles, although very good may have been a little over cooked but I still enjoyed read more

Speakeasy Ramen - Ramen Near Me - Springfield, Ohio

Honestly fantastic food. Great ramen, great sushi. Their Philly roll sushi was some of the best I have ever had. It honestly makes me sad I live so far away from a place like this. Service was quick but if you get there at the wrong time there will be a wait due to limited available seating. read more

I came here for lunch and order the Tonkotsu Ramen. I would recommend this dish, it is very close to what you would get in Tokyo

It's hard to believe this gem is in a small town like Springfield. This ramen holds up with any ramen that I've had anywhere in the US. It's legit! read more

Been waiting to come home and try this place i have heard about and loved it! Great customer service and constantly have new additions to the menu! Definitely recommend to anyone! read more

Excellent Ramen, great atmosphere, came with a group of 5. The service was also good! Wish their dessert and appetizer menu was larger but otherwise food was wonderful read more

Literally a speakeasy as it's not on a traditional restaurant strip and truly a "hidden" gem! We ordered the rangoon (had buffalo sauce tones), ribs (I cannot emphasize how much ordering this is a MUST-- they are candied), Thai Curry Ramen (woooo good and spicy), Spicy Soft Crab over cold noodles (finger lickin good). The location feels random and the space itself small but hey, it's a speakeasy. Staff is awesome. Chef fantastic. Food worthy of recommending many times over! read more

I thought maps was leading me astray because it's in the middle of a neighborhood. Looks like a dive bar reincarnated to a killer ramen place. Tasty ramen with their own twist. Taco was fantastic! Cocktails looked awesome. We had boba teas which were great too. read more

Updating my previous review to just come back and say- this place is beyond incredible. I would not be surprised if this place grows to the point where we see Michelin stars attached to its name. We go here often, and have recently discovered that they accommodate to-go orders-- perfect for parents with young kids. Our go-tos are the Thai Ramen, JFC tacos/bangin shrimp tacos, and sashimi. The noodles in the ramen are homemade, as is the tortilla for the tacos. I've eaten in many places throughout the US/globe, and I can't think of many places that make their ramen noodles nor tortillas from scratch. Keep up the good work- can't wait to be a part of your growth. read more

Let me start off by saying the Ramen was delicious. I had the Tonkatsu bowl on my visit. I have had excellent Ramen in SanFran and LA so I would consider myself to have a fair amount of knowledge regarding the dish. Although delicious, the value wasn't there. the quantity of Ramen was less than average I would say. The price they charge is actually MORE expensive than Ramen I've purchased in LA and in SF, which is odd given the portion size. Other than the price and the value, my only other criticism is the soft boiled egg, which was cold. The Tonkatsu had excellent flavor. The pork belly was cooked to perfection and the broth was extremely tasty without being overly salty, which was nice. The wait staff was excellent and extremely polite. In my opinion, this is a place you should try. Although the value for the portion size is really bad, the Ramen is excellent. I worry that a $16 bowl of Ramen isn't sustainable in Springfield Ohio. They should at least have a better price for lunch. After tip and a bowl of Ramen you're looking at $20. read more

Our first time visiting this absolute Gem! Speakeasy Ramen.... Every single bite of food was perfectly prepared. I come from a family of food. Classically trained chefs, fancy food business owner, My mom even wrote her kids a cookbook for a life plan, traveled the world over and I tell you this is a first rate place. Laid back, smiles and understanding of the business owners concept the servers are expert and understand what's going on. They answer your questions directly and correctly. I love this place. We first saw this place, From the curb, after touring the Frank Loyd Wright Westcott House in Springfield Ohio, my sweetheart Lynda looked it up. It was like an accidental sports bar shoved into a neighborhood during a tornado. When the door opened I thought I walked through an inter dimensional portal. I was in a lovely asian Resteraunt and it only got better from there. Wow! As a former Los Angeles bartender trained properly, my family also owned a bar. Like I said lots of food experiences in my 60+ years and three languages not learned in school. On The very rare occasion when I'm brave enough to order a prepared drink I'm always ready to be disappointed again then go back to my goose rocks or bourbon two cubes. WRONG! friggin wonderful! Speakeasy you're going to see me again! read more

Stopped in here on our way to Fairborn and it was an absolute delight. Pork Belly get in my belly. Kthxbye. read more

Food is always amazing, and the service is always on point. It's one of my favorites to get while I'm home. Highly recommend to anyone

Great staff. Delicious handcrafted food. Totally different than any place else around this area. Highly recommend

Service and food are amazing. The staff and chef are so friendly. We are visiting from CA. This can surely compete with any other Japanese and Asian restaurants from Cali (not to compare but big props to the restaurant). According to my 10 year old son, "he loves this place so much". Try to salad, burnt pork ends, and of course, the ramen. Thanks for the Midwest hospitality. read more

The food is excellent but the service is slow and the place is a hole on the wall. But the food is worth the wait.

Fantastic. Worth the drive. The sign out front says Nifty Fifty's. Park on the street. It's not big, five or six tables, a dozen bar stools, and a small but cute patio. We went around 6 on a Saturday and it was getting crowded. We were able to secure a spot at the bar. Deliciously fresh cocktails with house made mixers and infused spirits. We tried the Island Mule, the Grapefruit Basil Smash, and the Bloody Mary. The Island Mule was the favorite, very refreshing. Pineapple infused rum is a good thing. The grapefruit basil smash is perfect is you want something that's not to sweet. The Bloody Mary with beet vodka was...interesting, but not in a bad way. It's very earthy, it was a nice compliment to the noodles. If you're a beer lover, this is your jam. The menu changes every day. Check out their Facebook page to find out what's cooking. It's crazy good. We had the Szechuan noodles, fried mushrooms, curry rice, and the fried chicken Moo Shu. The perfectly cooked noodles were spicy with a rich broth. I could eat those every day. The curry tasted great, this would be a good one to get for takeout. The rice was on point. The fried mushrooms were good even for a non mushroom eater like myself. Anything covered in crunchy panko breading is going to taste pretty ok. You could but the dipping sauce on a shoe. The Moo Shu was popular, the fresh vegetables played nicely with the crunchy chicken and the zingy sauce. We ordered a second one. I wish they would warm up their plates. We left happily planning our next visit. This spot is evolving, go now to get in on the ground floor. read more

Best ramen around, better than any place I've had in Columbus. The place is cozy and service is always great.

Lunchtime while working in Springfield for the day, I followed a referral from the Ohio Road Trips FB page. My First time to Speakeasy Ramen, and am now a fan. Ordered the Thai Curry Ramen online and food was ready quickly. Although I got it to-go, the place has a fun atmosphere, kinda artsy and quirky. The dish was amazing! A fragrant sauce to top the noodles, nori, shrimp, beech mushrooms, dark brined egg, +. Even with swirled narutomaki, (which I had never tried). So good! read more

Always fire food, I personally get the sezchuan ramen with pork belly and it always hits the spot. I could eat here every day if it wasn't so expensive but you do get what you pay for here with the highest quality food read more

A hidden gem! We've been here a handful of times and are never disappointed. The menu is small but everything is fresh, made to perfection and always full of flavor. It's a little pricey but worth the splurge every now and then. It's definitely better than some of the other ramen places around Dayton so we make the drive out to Springfield on occasion. The staff is always amazing too. read more

This is a gem and once you have eaten here you will be hooked!! My hubby and I took a day trip up, about 40 min drive and it was worth the drive. Upon arrival we parked, ordered online and waited about 20 minutes for our order to be ready. We order two JFS tacos,Thai Curry Ramen and Tonkotsu Ramen. Entering to get the food we were greeted by everyone! Very pleasant atmosphere and staff. The packaging was great! Our Ramen made it back home and was still warm. We did warm the broths up on the stove, so the separation of the broth from everything else is smart and beneficial. Both dishes were flavor packed and the pork was so tender. All the ingredients were fresh and lucky for me the Thai Ramen was gluten free . 5 Stars hands down!! The tacos on the other hand did not make it home lol. We ate those immediately!!! So delicious and filling! Each layer of flavor and texture made this taco absolutely amazing! We will definitely be back!! We appreciate great food, and you can tell love goes into every detail of the dishes. Great customer service is the cherry on top!! read more

I had a salesman at the house and he spoke very highly of the restaurant. I have not had the pleasure yet.

My family and I decided to make a trip to Springfield to try out some ramen. We really enjoyed everything we tried. This is not your typical ramen place. There is a definite twist to everything on the menu. Can't wait for our next visit! read more

Wow. I can't believe I didn't try this place sooner! The menu is small but of the 3 things we tried, all were completely amazing! As a person of Japanese descent, I was nervous about trying a fusion of traditional Japanese foods with new flavors. I couldn't believe how much I loved every single bite!! This place is a hidden gem. We got there about 6pm and within a couple hours, the place was packed and many dishes had run out. The chef personally served us and checked on us and other diners throughout our dinner. He is a brilliant culinary artist. I see this place expanding and moving up very soon! read more

We stumbled upon this this place while driving through Ohio. We needed something vegetarian/pescatarian friendly and this place quickly became our number one option. We headed to the restaurant and we're so charmed with the cool atmosphere and the friendly staff. The food was incredible. we were so lucky to find this place! We had the Thai curry ramen and an order of the shrimp rangoons with some beers, the flavors were so so good. Highly recommend this place! The owners were so welcoming and friendly are we wish them the best with their restaurant! Thank you!! read more

Wow! Amazing! Am I really eating this here?! Is this really the bill?! Yes, it is here in Springfield, OH. The Asian flavors come from self-taught Chef and Owner, who says he learned from some of the best of Cordon Bleu Chefs. He wisely sticks to 5 menu items and we could order 4 only because the 5th item was sold out. All 4 items (the 4th not shown was the fried chicken taco) were Outstanding. My tongue and mouth was being pounded with incredible flavors and begging for more! This cuisine will rival expensive entrees in renowned restaurants in large cities. The plus is that you get to dine with the Friendliest people in the state of Ohio. Word is spreading. Consider yourself lucky to get a seat and to be able to have such a unique experience. read more

Excellent food and phenomenal customer service. My daughter had the daily special (mussels) and ate every last one. The JFC taco was the most delicious taco I've ever eaten. The flavor was so unique and the tortilla was grilled to perfection. We also had the fried ribs, shrimp taco and the Thai curry ramen. It's a comfy cozy vibe and well worth the drive from Columbus. A hidden gem! read more

The ingredients are so fresh and the service was great. Cute little place! Highly recommend!

Very fresh food. This is my first time trying ramon. I wasn't familiar with some of the items but everything was very tasty. The Rangoon was good. A little on the sweet side. read more

Wonderful community atmosphere and very attentive wait staff. It was really busy on this Saturday evening. The deep fried mushrooms had a tasty, flavorful crunch with a little kick of spice and they were not greasy. The veggie curry was tasty and so was the spicy tuna sashimi. Apparently, they're going to be open for lunch soon. I'm looking forward to some of the shrimp options I've seen pictured. Facebook page promotes their ever changing menu. read more

A ramen spot in Springfield, OH!? As a native I had to check it out. Absolutely impressed. I opted for the Thai curry ramen and an order of rangoon. The ramen was cooked perfectly, the broth was rich and flavorful without being over salted. Delicious soy sauce egg, enoki mushrooms and pickled bamboo shoots. The rangoon were stuffed with cream cheese and shriracha sauce, a little salty but still tasty. Lots of local brews available along with wines and sakes. Best of all, not overpriced for the serving sizes. Will certainly be back for more. read more

Tonight's dining experience at the Speakeasy Ramen was like a dream come true. I find great joy in eating and traveling, and thankfully have been able to do a lot of both. The Speakeasy hands down has my new most favorite dishes. We tried several items tonight and everything was so unique and just delicious. The ingredients are super fresh and top notch quality. Hats off to the new owners. I wish you all the best! Can't wait to try everything! read more

If you are truly looking for something different and tired of all chain restaurants do your self a favor check out Speakeasy! Had a great date there last night and food as always was delicious and exciting too! Springfield's Best date restaurant family ran and owned. Not gonna ruin it by over explaining the food but if you like Asian with some Southern Ease mixed in. Check it out! Come for appetizers and drinks then stay for dinner trust me! read more

I was really confused when I got there. They don't have a sign and nothing inside indicates that it would be a ramen or even Asian restaurant--it looks like a hole in the wall bar. I asked the lady behind the bar if this was Speakeasy Ramen and she casually answered "Yeah." I sat at the bar and ordered a water and Szechuan Noodles. It's $13 and an additional $8 if you want to add meat. I decided to try it without the meat. She advised me that it's normally made with a spice level of 8,9, or 10. I told her that was fine. The presentation of the bowl was nice. The noodles were cooked well. The broth was great and I loved the spice level. The soft hard boiled egg was perfect. I was slightly disappointed by the serving size and I felt like for $13 and the size of the bowl it should come with meat. The value was just not there. It's unlikely I'll return, there are just too many delicious places nearby for me to drive out that far for an overpriced ramen. IF you're in Springfield though and looking for something yummy go for it! read more
