Fukuryu Ramen

Pretty Good, broth, noodles & chashu were delish. My chashu was cold, so not 5 stars. clean fast pleasant experience.

I ordered (extra hot temperature) ramen from them about a year ago and it was so inedibly spicy I threw it out (and I love spicy food). They clearly messed the order up, mistaking temperature for spice level, so they mailed me a gift card as reimbursement.

Tuesday evening, I went to The Lane location, ordered, and handed the gift card over to pay. It wouldn't swipe and the manager proceeded to have a meltdown about it. I explained where I got the card and why. He said he couldn't do anything about it since he had no proof of purchase and he wasn't going to "just give me free food".

So I walked out without food.

Ended up at Kyushu Ramen Bar on 5th and had a great experience.

I strongly take back my old review from 2016:
"Absolutely delicious! This was my first time having ramen it it was even better than expected. The pork broth is amazing. We had the Signature Tonkotsu and the Chicken Kara-age and both were very good. For a fast casual restaurant the service was impeccable and the staff was very engaged and passionate about what they do. The atmosphere has a fun, hip, and vibrant. I definitely recommend eating here."

Updated review:
Both last Nov and this Nov we received poor experiences. Last Nov they made our takeout ramen dishes inedibly spicy (we ordered 'extra hot' temperature not spice level). This Nov the gift card they gave us due to that last bad experience would not swipe, and they made no attempt to find a way to check the balance or to manually enter it. This place is not what it was several years ago; It's tired, the staff lacks the enthusiasm, order accuracy is bad, and customer service is poor. Luckily, there's new ramen places to try around Columbus now so we never have to go back here!

Love this restaurant! Came around 8 on a Friday and we were able to snag the last table. The service is always fast and efficient, but not overbearing. This time we wanted to try the chicken kaarage and the pork belly buns, so our server suggested we try the kaarage buns. So glad we did!! They were absolutely delicious and something I would get again. The spicy tonkatsu was great as always, but I do wish you could customize your spice level. Definitely the best ramen in the city! I love the small restaurant atmosphere, it really feels like everything is made fresh to order. Get your ramen here!

We love going to Fukuryu ramen especially on a cold day. I love getting their miso ramen and gyoza. This is a Columbus staple!

Ordered ramen to go on a rainy Saturday night. This was my first time eating grown up ramen so it's possible I don't love ramen like some people but overall I'd say it was okay.

I got the chicken ramen (no spice) which comes with chicken broth and fried chicken. For me the highlight was the fried chicken and egg, both were cooked well (the chicken may have been slightly dry but it wasn't noticeable when soaked in broth) with a good crust on the chicken without being greasy. The noodles (and granted it was carry out) were clumped together despite eating within 15 minutes of pick up. And required some work to not be clumpy. The broth was ok but nothing great in my opinion- a little salty and chicken taste but little other flavors.

That said, my friend who eats way more ramen than I do gets a spicy dish and loves this place!

Fukuryu Ramen offers an array of ramen, curry and various other Asian style dishes. The broth boasts dynamic flavor and pleasing consistency.

The staff was very friendly!

I enjoyed lunch here a lot! It's a no-fuss casual spot where you order at the counter. Great ramen offerings and their spice levels are no joke!

I got the miso ramen spicy 2 out of 3 and it was delicious. Definitely could feel it in my stomach haha. Next time I'll try the red dragon which is spicy but has a creaminess to it that the miso ramen does not. The noodles are perfectly cooked. Not too soft not too hard. Good buoyancy lol. Overall presentation is nice too!

Noodle dishes are the star here. Tried two apps as well. The kimchi fries had great flavor, but with all the sauces and toppings the fries get a little soggy. The fried chicken appetizer was tasty - but there were quite a few pieces with breading only.

Overall I'd definitely come back for ramen. Good value and service.

I visited Fukuryu Ramen for the first time last night and had a wonderful experience!

Since it was my first time visiting, I had some trouble deciding what to order. The employee working the register was very helpful in explaining the menu and helping us decide what to order based on what we like.

We both decided on the Red Dragon ramen level 2, and I got panko chicken with mine. I love spicy food, and this level 2 was no joke! My mouth was slightly on fire in the best way possible! I think level 3 would have been too much for me. The broth had excellent flavor, the chicken was perfectly crispy, and I loved the egg that came with it. The only thing I will say is I would have liked there to be more veggie toppings in the bowl such as mushrooms and corn, but you do have the option of paying extra to add those so next time I will try that!

I can't wait to return for more delicious ramen bowls!

The kimchi fries. Yum!
The pork belly bun eh. The pork was so dry. Do not recommend.
