Love this place. Food quality is top notch. Staff is on the ball, super busy, but still able to give great service & recommendations. I wish Springfield had more alternative place like this to eat at. read more

We were looking for something different, and the place was not very big, but everything we had was amazing. My son love ramen noodles in general, and he said it was the best he had ever had. read more

Best food in town! Our kids choose the ramen for their birthdays and so do we. The sushi is great and the JFC taco and ribs are a must-have.

This is definitely a place you need to try! We are all about trying new restaurants and we were blown Way by the food and atmosphere! There is wall art made by local artist that is sold and 100% of the profits go to the artist! The food was delivered hot and fresh and tasted so good! If you're looking for a Ramen place, this is by far the best place to go! read more

See all

Visited on a recommendation from a friend. We had the Szechuan noodle bowl. It was delicious. Spicy and flavorful. Staff was great and chef came out after to see how we liked everything. This is a former neighborhood bar that still has signage from Nifty Fifty's -- true "speakeasy" atmosphere the only thing I would say was less than desirable was ordering draft local beer with dinner, beers were over $6 a piece. Not used to paying that for draft beer in our area. The drinks menu looked really good with reasonable prices though. read more

You had me at Bahn Mi. First time at Speakeasy Ramen last night but certainly not my last. The menu's creative offerings, the chef's culinary talents, the relaxed atmosphere, the eclectic adult beverages, the personable server, and the incredibly reasonable prices ... wow, what a positively impressive dining experience. Thank you so much! Best wishes for continued success. read more

In town to watch the Wittenberg University football game and afterwards yelped to grab a bite to eat. Speakeasy came up with good reviews and with good reason. Please note... That the sign outside this modest looking bar reads "nifty fifties" so don't be fooled. Was pleasantly greeted by Alyssa the bartender and invited to sit wherever I liked. I sat at the bar and was immediately given the Ramen menu. I had never had authentic Japanese Ramen but Alyssa helped me order a vegetable Ramen dish that was nothing short of delicious. Did I mention the size of the prize? Huge portions! When I asked for a simple lager beer (I'm not big on flavored craft beers) Alyssa recommended a draft and offered me a taste. Delicious again. Friendly service great food, generous portions & reasonable prices. What else can I say? If I'm ever back in a Springfield I know where to eat. read more

WOW, food is definitely five plus, just a little lacking in decor, but did appreciate that local artist's works were displayed on the wall. Ordered the shrimp rangoon, breaded mushrooms, and the special which was a spicy tuna mix, in tempura fried squash blossom with great sauces...sorry I don't remember the name but it was wonderful. Was lucky enough to meet the chef, informed us that he really makes an effort to use the freshest ingredients, and definitely has a passion for what he does. Had a great selection of craft beers, at reasonable prices. Mixed cocktails, and wine selection. We will definitely be back. read more

Great old neighborhood spot being given a new life by new local family owners. Unbelievably great flavors at very reasonable prices. To complement the brand new kitchen build, the bar offers a wide selection of specialty cocktails, as well as craft and domestic beers. Skip driving all the way to Columbus for great interesting fresh food options! read more

VERY limited menu. Our food was good but a tad too trendy. Staff was more interested in the bar crowd than insuring restaurant customers were addressed. Understandable as there is more profit in liquor sales. Maybe I'll consider takeout next time? read more

My husband and I are visiting and we're looking for the best eats in Springfield. Being from NYC we have pretty high expectations for ramen and cocktails and we're a bit skeptical... however, the food, drinks and atmosphere at this place is on point. We got the taco, bao bun, ribs and red curry ramen and everything was incredible. The ribs were the definite highlight; sweet and savory with a crispy exterior. The red curry ramen was unique and unlike anything I had before but was also amazing. Again, I was skeptical about the cocktail menus but after I loved the spicy sake slinger, I ordered the Cuban Sunrise. Both were light, refreshing and perfect with the meal. Highly recommend!! read more

I love Speakeasy Ramen. The building and decor are not my thing but this is the only downside of my review. The food and service are phenomenal and they have a ton of good local beers to try. My wife and I usually get an appetizer and a bowl of ramen each. The head cook says he changes up the recipe (or at least he said that at the time we went) but they usually have a curry ramen and a regular ramen. They are both outstanding with the curry being a little more spicy. The head cook and the staff are all super friendly as well. I was super sad when Ramen Rickshaw decided to close up but these guys have more than filled the gap. Such good food. Give it a shot! read more

Best cocktails in town! Food is excellent. Surprising find in town. Friendly atmosphere makes for a great evening.

Amazing food and service! Can't wait to go back. Recommend the ribs and Rangoon. Be prepared to wait, but we'll worth it.

The best ramen I've ever had! Would highly recommend this to anyone for sure! Don't miss it in Springfield!

The Thai Curry Ramen will make you cry like seeing your newborn baby for the first time. It's a religious experience. This is a true destination restaurant. Chef is at the top of his game. Michelin star worthy. read more

One of the best and most authentic ramen bowls I've ever had. Every single part of the dish is well thought out and executed perfectly. This place is a must have! Wow wow wow. read more

Speakeasy Ramen - Szechuan spicy ramen with pork belly - Ramen Near Me - Springfield, Ohio

Everything here is excellent, but the broth for the Ramen is occasionally over salted.

I've been coming to speakeasy Ramen since they opened. The staff is friendly and Clayton the chef is phenomenal. I'm never disappointed and it's my go to restaurant in Springfield! read more

Just in Springfield for a day and this restaurant was recommended. Wow! Interesting and excellent food. Loved the taco and bao. Great local beers as well. read more

We came from out of town and went here on a recommendation. We were super excited because the menu looked delicious and there were so many good reviews. When we walked in we were met by a very pleasant girl at the bar, so everyone on the floor wearing masks, dividers between tables and spaces at the bar . Hand sanitizer on every table. We ordered our , and while waiting for her to process our credit card we glanced down the steps into the kitchen. We were incredibly disappointed. No one in the kitchen was wearing a mask. Absolutely no one. They were talking and laughing and touching food. No masks, no gloves. It was very off-putting and we almost canceled our order. Understanding that food-based transmission is low, we had already ordered our food and thought "well we heard it's wonderful so let's just get it and get going." They told us it would be 20 minutes for it to be ready so we stepped outside and came back in 15 minutes. It took a few minutes for someone to acknowledge us but once they did, we sat on the bench and watched our order dying in the window. Five full minutes it sat in the window before somebody actually went down and packed it up. One table occupied in the restaurant and multiple staff buzzing around. Four different staff members walked across the restaurants masked, walked down the steps to the kitchen and then pull their masks down over their nose and mouth to talk to the kitchen staff. Finally someone went down and packed up our order and handed it to us in a bag and said "you're all set! There are chopsticks and forks in the bag." We jumped in the car and headed out to find a spot to park and eat near the entrance ramp to 70. When we got situated, we opened up the bag. No napkins, no forks, no chopsticks. The broth to pour onto the ramen was lukewarm. Ramen itself was just haphazardly thrown together, noodles in giant clumps and was missing the soft-boiled egg. We were incredibly disappointed. The flavor of the sushi roll and JFC Taco were fine, but the taco definitely had way too much mail. I ended up wiping it off before I could rewrap and eat it . There was no way the sushi roll was worth $14 common or the ramen Worth 16. Not in the way it was presented. So essentially we spent more than $40 with tip for 3 items. With no silverware oh, we ended up having to go through McDonald's and order something so we could get a plastic fork to eat. Perhaps in bettter times if you can sit at the counter and eat it fresh, with silverware, and they have an opportunity to rectify what's missing in your order, it would be better. But it is completely misleading that their yelp page states that the staff wears masks. Incredibly disappointing. Hopefully the restaurant owners will see this review and review safety protocols with their staff and Ensure that every order goes out double-checked and packed with the appropriate silverware and that the food is prepared correctly and hot. read more

This place is the talk of the Town. Awesome Asian cuisine that really would be hard to beat in this part of Ohio. Friendly staff and a chef that really has passion for cooking. Menu changes often along with beer and drink specials. Love this place ! read more

Awesome culinary and artfully crafted cocktails. One of it's kind in Springfield, Oh and nice little niche location on the east end of town.

The menu was gluten free and delicious! The Thai curry ramen was amazing. Look forward to going back again

My wife and I were driving from our home in Los Angeles to Maine and, thanks to Yelp, stumbled upon this cool and delicious bar and eatery. We had the Tonkotsu Ramen and the Thai Curry Noodle dishes. In LA we live near Sawtelle Boulevard (which used to be called Little Osaka), known for one noodle, ramen, and sushi place after another, among the best in the country. Speakeasy Ramen is their equal. The presentation was absolutely beautiful and the tastes and flavors were fabulous. Matched, too, by the kindness and courtesy of the chef and staff. We'll tell our friends in LA! read more

This place is a gem. Tucked away in a quiet neighborhood. Love the Asian food! Nicest bartenders with great drinks. Do yourself a favor and stop in... read more

Amazing food for speed and price. Also the robot is a wonderful novelty to be served by.

The food here is exceptionally good for the area. Unfortunately, we won't be returning for quite a while because none of the wait staff were wearing masks when we picked up our carry out order. There's no excuse for this kind of carelessness and disregard for guests' safety. read more

A hidden gem in the most unlikely of places! We have eaten here several times, and it is always top notch. Everything on the menu is delicious, including very unique, crafted cocktails. The servers know their stuff and are happy to answer questions about the dishes. They are prompt, polite, and good-humored. All around A+! read more

I love the food here. I've tried everything on the menu, which is no great feat because the menu is kind of limited but everything thing is really good. I highly recommend Speakeasy Ramen read more

This is my go to. The food never disappoints and the service is amazing. I love when they add a special addition to the menu. Definitely a place to try when coming to Springfield. read more

Had two lunches at Speakeasy, had ramen both times. The meals were great. I'm not from the area, so a restaurant in a neighborhood is unusual to me. The food and service were both outstanding. read more

I'm not sure a review can do Speakeasy the justice it deserves and that is exactly why you should eat here! Every part of our dining experience impressed us, from the first sip of margarita (highly recommend adding jalapeno AND avocado) to the last slurp of Szechuan noodles. What the place lack in frills it more than makes up for in creative cocktails, inventive food, and hospitality! Chef Clayton, you've absolutely nailed it and Springfield is so lucky to have you! read more

Wow. Amazing food I mean really delicious but the customer service was horrible. We came in on Tuesday at 7 and we were so rushed. Had a couple of drinks and then ordered amazing food. Two other couples came in and had to leave. The bartender said to them " we are closing in minutes". It's 745 on a weekday. Seriously. They left. One couple that we met at the exit and they said how awesome the food was and how bad they felt coming in at 73 and even asked if it was ok to stay. People should not feel bad if dining at 730! The workers were cleaning up around us and putting up chairs at 746! The server had to tell them to "stop putting up chairs and have customers It's rude". That's not what you want to hear as a customer at 745 at night. Make me feel welcomed! Make me want to stay! The food is so delicious! I hate that the customer service is so bad! We won't be coming back. If they are that big of a hurry to close to turn away customers before they close! We went to Lincoln and Main last week and arrived 745 and the kitchen closed 8 and they said the kitchen is about to close but they have several tickets left so let me know what you want and I'll place your order. We placed and about 10 minutes later we had amazing food! That's how it should be. Not to feel bad about wanting to dine with the establishment. I'm sad for Springfield. We actually have amazing places and the service is so bad it makes you want to dine elsewhere. read more

Very unhappy with the presentation this visit. I've been several times and have been happy with the vegan ramen, that usually comes with fried sweet potatoes, and today the sweet potatoes are not fried, and do not look appetizing, as well as they removed a vegan friendly salad that they used to have. No silverware or napkins were provided. Probably won't recommend or eat here again. read more

One of our favorites in Springfield! We like the JFC taco, Thai curry ramen and any of the sushi. Staff is always friendly and food is great! read more
