"The restaurant has a very cute, trendy vibe with an intimate dining room. Btw, parking can be a challenge but if you luck up get a parking spot directly outside the restaurant on Lancaster Avenue, it's free. The ramen...WOW! I had every intention of taking some home but nope...ate every last bit there! As a pescaterian, majority of the ramen dishes had pork broth BUT there was about 3-4 chicken/vegetable/shrimp ramen bowls. Since I had the Vegetable Miso Ramen on my 1st visit (highly recommend! , I tried the Green Curry Ramen and this dish too measured up! There's a full bar and I definitely want to return to try their sushi which I hear is great too. Ishmael was a great server! The only reason I'm giving Ramen Bar a 4 instead of 5 stars is because I asked for a little hot sauce to add to my ramen and the young lady gave me Bakudan which was delish but an additional $3 and didn't even advise beforehand (total pet peeve of mine ! I never heard of an additional charge for hot sauce and even so, generally a condiment charge is only $1-2; $3 is pretty steep. But go figures because if you add shrimp to the Vegetable Miso Ramen it's an additional $7. I guess they don't care about making things reasonable even though the restaurant is located on Drexel's campus. Also it would be nice if Ramen Bar's Happy Hour pricing returned like it had pre-pandemic (the HH menu is still on the restaurant's IG page ."

"BLUF: the food is tasty, but it doesn't quite match it's menu description Four of us went on a Friday night. The wait staff was very friendly, but it seemed like they just couldn't wait to take a plate off your table. If you're not quite done with something you kind of have to lean over it to make sure they don't snap it up on the way by. I would recommend getting a reservation if you go on a weekend. The place was quite full and I was glad I made a reservation ahead of time. We didn't have any drinks or anything so here's a rundown of the food: Thai Beef Basil: it was actually relatively Bland, especially when you consider it had one of those little peppers next to it on the menu to indicate it was spicy. I ended up having to add a little wasabi from my Sushi to it to spice it up. The beef was well cooked and the gravy was very good. Teriyaki Vegetable: quite good, with pretty good fresh veggies thrown in Octopus sushi: very good. Wasn't rubbery like I often find, but it was a bit of a thin slice considering you're paying about 3.50 a piece for it Veggie gyoza: very good, with a nice crisp sear on it and veggies inside tasted fresh Herndon Roll: very good, with a nice balance of rice and fish Spicy Salmon and Yellowtail Roll: the role itself was pretty good, but again didn't live up to the spicy label put on it on the menu. If I were in the area I would go back, but I would definitely stick to the sushi."

"We love this restaurant and often it once a week during the summer when we walk. Less often with winter weather. The staff is friendly, the food is relatively fast and consistently good, and we love the lunch specialities. My fiancé taught English in Japan for 5 years and from all the restaurants that we have tried, these dishes and those in Mitsuwa remember him most of his time there. He usually gets the Katsudon, which is a nice roasted pig over rice with egg and onion, and it is salty and absolutely delicious. He'll also make Katsu Curry shake everything up. I started my sushi kushi trip with the chicken Katsudon, which seems a little less salty than the pork version, but still with the delicious egg and onion over rice. Then I finally tried the divine ginger steak-lunch that I want by default when I want the full feeling of red meat or my ginger-fix. If I want some light, I get the veggie-friendship or some light with some chewed guilt, the Tempoura lunch, both delicious. I always get a spicy salmon roll, and that may be my favorite place. I would also like to note that this is one of the few restaurants that we splash and also get starters. We'll get the Tatsuta ages that are like fried chicken nuggets, just here, they don't give you frozen Tyson like other restaurants we went to. These are legit, and perfectly included with a simple drizzle from the slice of lemon. We also love the veggie tempura. I am always surprised by the quality and variety of vegetables included. With what I think are different swamps, onions, sweet potatoes, broccoli, green beans, mushrooms, there is something for everyone, and it always seems like a greater variety than other restaurants. I also love Oldashi Tofu, but I'm a sucker for a nice fried tofu. I would give this restaurant 100 stars if I could."
