My daughter wanted noodles again, so we decided to give this place a try--and I'm glad we did! This spot caught me by surprise. It's located inside a building with a cute coffee shop upstairs. The staff was friendly and welcomed us as soon as we walked in. There was no wait, so we were seated right away. The menu offered a variety of ramen options, and our server recommended the Shoyu ramen for my 3-year-old daughter. I added cabbage and mushrooms for some extra veggies. The food took about 15 minutes to arrive, so my daughter started getting a little restless, but as soon as the bowls hit the table, she was all smiles. The food was delicious, and we both enjoyed it. Most importantly, it earned the ultimate seal of approval--3-year-old approved! We'll definitely be back. read more

Wei Ramen - Ramen Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

I was walking around downtown looking for somewhere to eat a relatively cheap filling dinner. Wei Ramen is split into a dessert and dinner spot (upstairs is where their cafe is located). I chose the curry chicken katsu, which was generously portioned and came with pickled radish, kimchi, and a side salad. For about $15, this dinner was a steal. Service was quick! Would be interested in trying their desserts in the future. read more

Wei Ramen - Chicken Curry Chicken Katsu - comes with pickled radish and kimchi - Ramen Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

Located in Downtown Indianapolis, this is a great place for delicious Japanese Ramen, curry plates, rice bowls, and Asian drinks. I ordered the shrimp and vegetables tempura don, which included an Asian salad. Two pieces of shrimp tempura, a vegetable tempura, daikon, Kim Chee over rice with Asian salad for $12.99! The ramen noodles were $14! read more

The staff was pleasant and the restaurant was clean with a very nice chill vibe. The food was alright. I felt like the tonktasu and shoyu broths were pretty thin compared to great ramen places I've had in the past like ramen Tatsuya. The meat I had was pretty chewy too. Overall I do agree that this didn't feel super authentic as a previous reviewer had stated. I do wish them well, very nice people. read more

Such a hidden gem. It so such a cool vibe inside. I mostly order food to go (as downtown parking is the worst), but it is always 10/10!! My favorite things are Karaage chicken, spicy chicken chashu, chicken buns, and the dressing for their salad is phenomenal!!! Service is always pretty fast and on point. One of my favorite go to ramen places! read more

I really enjoy the Spicy Ramen here. It's not too spicy for me personally, more of a medium heat, but still good. The portion size is also solid. I've had it both dining in and as takeout, and it's been great each time. read more

Tried something new for lunch and wasn't too impressed. It could be that it was my first time having ramen and wasn't for sure what to order. If my decision to go back was based off my meal today, I wouldn't. It wasn't bad but it also wasn't good. I ordered the Veggie Ramen but it was spicy. The spice was there but wasn't flavorful. The service wasn't bad, very attentive. Not sure if I will try this place again. read more

I stopped by Wei Ramen for a quick lunch and was so glad I did! I ordered the Shrimp Tempura Udon to go, and it was ready in under 10 minutes--super fast and convenient.

Wei Ramen is my first meal here in Indianapolis, and it set a good tone for the trip! I'm a big ramen fan, so it was exciting to see some new varieties of ramen that I haven't tried before. We got the gyoza, the shumai, the Karai Ramen, and the Curry Chicken Katsu. Everything was very good! The gyoza and shumai both featured crunchy shells and soft steaming interiors. The Karai Ramen was very mild, with silky smooth broth and a lovely umami. I expected the kimchi to pack more of a punch, but even though it wasn't as spicy or acidic as I expected, the kimchi still delivered nicely contrasting bites to the more earthy egg, mushroom, and bamboo. The chicken katsu curry was a generous piece of fried chicken, and came with a large portion of rice. The service felt a little harried, but the food came out REALLY fast! read more

Have to say I liked this ramen spot in Indianapolis. I have loads of ramen in my life and sometimes I feel you got to know the do's and don'ts when ordering. The takoyaki was absolutely delish. Gooey just like it's supposed to be. Could have used a little more bonito shavings but I'm just knit picking. My ramen also was delicious. I poured the hot sesame oil they have in it so that for sure added. Service was great so all thumbs up for me! read more

The chicken soup... er, ramen, for the grad student's soul. Packed with delicious veggies and protein, the ramen bowls at Wei Ramen are more than enough to satisfy the appetite. The space of the restaurant is fairly intimate and has a cozy feel with the hanging of various tapestries. The food comes out quickly from the Wei Ramen kitchen, and also includes the mochi donut counter at the front of the shop. The only disclaimer I'd give is that the ramen restaurant host stand is past the mochi donut counter, which could be improved with some better signage (though maybe I missed it). read more

Wei Ramen - Tonkotsu Ramen - Ramen Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

Food: very satisfying! I will say you just have to know what you like! Food selection and personal preference plays a huge part imo. There's a good variety of types of the dining menu experience to venture into. I started with the appetizer of "Tempura Shumai" (shrimp tempura) and now I get it every time I go. Perfect amount of shrimp meat and that fried crunch that pairs nicely with the spicy sesame sauce! It's a very yummy start and a good choice if you have a filling snack like level of hunger. I tried a few entrees here. I chose more of a rice than ramen entree to start, as I was terrible at matching a menu item to what I'll like texture wise in my noodles. But the next time I went I tried The udon noodles and although they weren't my speed texture wise, the BROTH?! The main boo thing. Flavor is very good. The "Curry Udon w. Karrage chicken" rice was pleasant, I would just request more curry sauce next time! As it was a good source of flavor for the rice alongside the fried chicken and it's own sauce. I'm a lover of cute bottles and love a flavored SAKE, The peach sake is my favorite. It is served with a small cup and lasts more than you think. I got about 8-10 shots out this bad boy!! Ambiance: A minimalistic Japanese style environment with cute decor and wooden booth styled seating. They have TVs that display anime for the anime lovers out here like me. It's perfect to dine in to get some work done. Please note: This place is paired with 2 other businesses inside (Mochi MUNCHI donuts in the front when you walk in & Good vibes cafe upstairs) you order separately from each establishment. Service: Very quick and efficient! You can get in and out or dine with a good balance of being left to dine and get service. The servers are pretty straight forward and accommodating to personal preference and recommendation based on that! Definitely a good chill place with more food options I'd love to try! read more

So only a two star rating Highlight was the Shishido peppers.. Some of the best that I ever had The Ramen was OK nothing great the pork was very fatty The decor was ok at best The service was not so good I did get water right as I sat down, but I asked for napkins, and it took forever I just wasn't made to feel welcome And it was midday, pretty empty. It felt like they were doing me a favor by being here. read more

The food was nasty, but the customer service was even worse. I placed an order for pickup and when I arrived, I decided to dine in instead. That simple change made the staff visibly angry and hostile, as if I had done something wrong. I was treated extremely poorly and rudely, which is completely unacceptable for any restaurant. Despite the attitude and the bad food, I still left a tip. To make things worse, the restaurant later blocked my number simply because I chose to dine in. I have never been treated this badly by a restaurant before. Between the poor-quality food and the aggressive, unprofessional staff, I will not be returning and would not recommend this place to anyone read more

Great udon soup. Great service. When in Indy this is a good place for good soup. Small place but fast service.

So hopefully from the name you can tell this is not a place for authentic ramen. That said, I was hoping for something tastier than what I got. FYI it's cash only. I ordered the shishito peppers, the karaage chicken, and the karai ramen. The waitress warned me the shishito peppers were pretty spicy. It was super bland and no flavoring whatsoever. The karaage chicken tasted fine but they were closer to chicken nuggets than karaage chicken with the crispy edges all around. The ramen was pretty basic too. Broth was average, no real depth to it. Egg was cooked well. They added some sweet sauce to the chashu which was weird and the chashu was chewy and not very tender. The noodles were cooked al dente but which there was a little more. All in all you wanted a lot more from this place. The servers were nice so that made the lunch nice but it's not somewhere I'd come again. read more

I went for the spicy ramen and was pretty satisfied with the level of spice (probably around 6/10) and the slices of pork which were super tender. The broth was savory with a slight kick at the end. It was interesting that they also served it with a slice of lemon- maybe they're going for a slightly acidic tom yum flavor? I decided not the mix the lemon in to preserve the original flavor of the broth. The bamboo shoots added a nice texture and the noodles were well cooked with a slightly chewy texture. If you're not into spicy, you could also get other flavors like their tonkotsu ramen, which is their standard ramen with pork broth. You can choose chicken or pork for all their ramens! They also have curry ramen which had lots of cabbage and a few slices of fish cake. The takoyaki came out steaming hot and crunchy! I only wished there was more octopus inside. They had lots of indoor seating with some fun k pop songs playing in the background!Our server was very friendly and efficient. read more

Was craving ramen and came here because of the reviews. Toughest pork I've ever had in my life and egg wasn't flavorful . The shishito peppers are a 10/10. I've eaten ramen all over and this was by far the worst Never again read more

First, the service was really good and the space is nice. Clean, has a good vibe. However the food is completely inauthentic and not good. While it uses the traditional Japanese names what they serve you is far from it. Karaage is traditionally chicken thigh in small pieces with a light breading, what they served was a piece of chicken breast that looked deep fried (more like katsu). The shishito peppers were jalapeños best we could tell (they are normally more sweet with a little spice, but we were warned that "theirs" are a 7 out of 10 on spice). The curry udon had a star anise type of taste. The katsu curry came with kimchi. The rice was long grain, definitely not Japanese rice. I could go on and on. When we have Ramen Ray (owned by a Japanese family) and Kizuki (Japanese chain) in the area - it's crazy to me that they would be so far off from even getting it close. I don't wish them ill will, and I hope they succeed, but (in my opinion) they need to refine their dishes and get closer to the authentic (and simpler) way of preparation. read more

Atmosphere: Narrow restaurant, bunch of seats at the bar and about 15 tables inside. The bathrooms were absolutely filthy, mens and womens. Would definitely recommend holding it if you need to go. Service: They had one bartender and two waiters. Service was fast. Food: The pork bun was mostly bun and didn't really have any flavor. The takoyaki had so much sauce on it that it kind of sogged them out and there wasn't much octopus in it. The fried shrimp shumai sauce was delicious, wish I could buy it in a bottle. The food was okay and the price was too. Great spot to go if you are on a time crunch. read more

Wei ramen used to be one of my favorite ramen spots! I genuinely loved their fried squid rings and veggie ramen. Although the last time I went in, I was genuinely disappointed. I waited for 20 minutes while three people were sat down and had received their food. I was never given a menu or anything. I brought it to two different employee's attentions and was ignored and stared at. In the end, I left for another ramen spot. I would like to have a better experience at one of my favorite places! but the customer service was very lacking. I hope to give them another shot in the future, but for now.. I won't be going back or recommending them. Other than that! usually my experiences are decent. They play decent music and have plenty of space. read more

I went for lunch during the weekday. There was no line and I was able to get seated right away. I had the shoyu ramen, gyoza, and karaage. The ramen was fine but nothing special. The noodles were more like Chinese noodles than Japanese ramen noodles. The gyoza was average but the karaage was pretty good. Location is convenient and service was fine but I don't think I would go there again as the food was overall mediocre. read more

Wei Ramen - Shoyu ramen - Ramen Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

Stopped in here on a Tuesday evening. The shop is cute at first glance and the service was quick. What they do well, they do really well; however, the bad outweighed the good for me here. Pros: The broth of the Yamitsuki ramen was phenomenal. The noodles were so plentiful in both dishes. You could truly have noodle in every bite and not end up with a bowl of broth at the bottom. Cons: Curry ramen broth was pretty weak. The pork chashu in both dishes was so thick and chewy that it was a little tough to eat. Each slice could have been cut to half the thinness. The mushrooms and bamboo shoots tasted like they had been dehydrated or come out of a can--they were rubbery and chewy. The soft boiled egg was hard boiled. I would say the food itself was probably three stars (noodles and broth go a long way for ramen), but I'm going down to two stars because the wooden decor/beams next to us were absolutely filthy. They looked like they haven't been cleaned since the place opened and were literally collecting dust bunnies. It's hard to tell from the photo, but it's pretty gross to look at as you eat. read more
