The Most Delicious Ramen in Indianapolis

Lil Dumplings Noodle Bar

★★★★☆ 3.5 (90) • $$

"First time customer and I LUV IT!I got the vegetable dumplings and they are delicious and the sauce is YUM. Every food experience here has been meh but I think I have found my fav!Nothing much else say but keep doing what you're doing Lil Dumplings!"

Strange Bird

★★★★★ 4.6 (336) • $$

"I previously left a review that went into more depth, but I got to try their ramen and take pics so I had to leave these here:-) The Saturn is my go-to drink. It's so so so good. The ramen was actually crazy. I've had ramen at other places before, and trying strange bird's made me realize that I have not been eating good ramen lol. It was delicious, unlike anything I've ever had before. Thank you, Strange Bird!! Until next time--"

Yummy Bowl

★★★★☆ 4.4 (55) • $$

"4 stars.Great experience. Yummy experience.Grab your bowl, load it up with veggies and protein, shake on some seasoning, then amp up the flavor with a sauce and voila! I think my bowl was better here than other places because they offer a wide variety of seasonings to add and you aren't relying on the sauce to do all the work. I did miss having the roti option, but I did fried rice and that worked, too. Service was good, not great. Sodas are $2.29 and are served in humongous 32 oz tumblers, so refills really And the policy is to add gratuity to any check with 5 or more. I think we are getting out of control on the whole notion of tipping. And that's coming from a pretty consistent 20% or more tipper.This restaurant is a lovely addition to the restaurant scene in Fishers. I look forward to returning again."

Tasty Oishi

★★★★★ 4.6 (30) • $$

"This unassuming ramen joint inside a small strip mall would not have you necessarily thinking about authentic ramen, but this is worth the stop. The restaurant is run by a family that knows ramen. You begin by picking your base- tonkotsu, shoyo, or miso- all regular or spicy and then your protein. We had beef and chicken. On a cool September day- the ramen was hot and filling. The service was very good- with plenty of offers to refill our beverages. I would highly recommend this spot for the locals and anyone traveling through Brownsburg, as we were."

Hana Sushi and Ramen

★★★★★ 4.8 (28)

"There aren't many great restaurants in Shelbyville, but Hana Sushi and Ramen is always great and one of my favorites. I've tried quite a few dishes there, and they have all been delicious. When we go, we like to start out with the crab rangoons and shumai. Their rangoons are some of the best I've had. They have crab in them and have a sweet taste. You can't go wrong with shumai either. It's always good. Their hibachi bento boxes and teriyaki dishes are a great choice if you don't like sushi. The Lo Mein, fried rice, and ramen are excellent choices as well. As far as sushi goes, I'm kind of picky. I like to stick to the rolls that are not raw. The ones that I've had at Hana have been amazing. My personal favorites are the angry bird roll, caterpillar roll, and the Hana roll. They have a variety of different choices, even if you're not a sushi eater. I always have a pleasant experience at Hana Sushi and Ramen. The staff is excellent and very attentive. The restaurant is also very clean. I definitely suggest giving this restaurant a try if you haven't already."

Wei Ramen

★★★★☆ 4 (234) • $$

"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!"

Hokkaido Ramen House

★★★★☆ 4 (33) • $$

"Wow so good!! And actually inside the Greenwood Park Mall by the outside Fountain. I had the spicy ramen and it was delicious! My wife just had edamame and said it was fantastic. My granddaughters both just got Ramen noodles and broth and loved it. We will be back!!"

Nagoya Hibachi Ramen & Bubble Tea

★★★★☆ 4.3 (16)

"I usually give places three tries before counting them out. This was strike 1/2, not a full strike since some things saved it...The portions are great for the cost so if you're looking to fill up on food this place gives you your moneys worth.6/10Their Boba was soaked just enough to absorb the moisture however many were clumped together which means they just dump it in a bucket and let it soak instead of properly stiring them to absorb all the moisture.10/10The drinks all so far have been absolutely delicious and not overly sweet like many other places, highly recommend this place boba over other locations around.4/10Fried rice wasn't fried rice well as traditional or even American style, it was just white rice with too much soy, it was like a mouth full of soy sauce with some rice, no oil no butter flavor no other seasoning anywhere.5/10Chicken was dry and severely under seasoned 5/10Steak was tender but well done when ordered medium rare and also was under seasoned and bland. Their broccoli and cabbage was also not very good and tasted like it had been sitting around for hours.8/10Their shrimp was great, I'd go back for the shrimp and drinks for sure."

Kotoyama Ramen

★★★★☆ 4.4 (95) • $$

"From grabbing a cup of Coffee Bubble tea and enjoying some mouthwatering ramen, this joint gives off a cozy, hole-in-the-wall vibe with amazing food."

Kotoyama Ramen

★★★★★ 4.5 (73)

"I've never had an actual ramen from an actual ramen place before. I'll tell you what this ain't no overly salty 99 cent ramen from the lowest shelf of the Dollar General. This stuff is jam packed filled with all manner of things. You can get with tofu or beef or pork or chicken. Also they have various levels of spicy and different vegetables in it. Plus it comes with an egg in it so that was pretty cool."

Takumi Boba & Ramen

★★★★★ 4.8 (38)

"I wasn't too sure what to expect from Takumi and it was so Soo delicious! It's counter service and the folks working there are very good at answering any and all questions you might have! I met a friend there for lunch and there was no rush to get us out the door. It's a great place for a quick or slow meal and I felt very comfortable just hanging out with my friend and catching up. I think it would be a great first day place for boba tea or just a nice place to grab a meal. The fried chicken was hands down my favorite thing. It was so good and I'm sure will probably unfortunately be a new craving for this pregnant lady. Anyone want to go get ramen with me soon?"

Yujo

★★★★☆ 4.3 (277) • $$

"Quite a wide variety on the menu- this is a casual restaurant with fast service atmosphere. The Tokyo bowl was tasty and the serving was generous. The garlic bowl was a bit spicy but equally delicious. Weeknight dinner and the place was hopping! They have many appreciative fans."

Kyoto Nora

★★★★☆ 4.1 (8)

"By looking at the outside of the building one would assume it's a small hole in the wall and more than likely cobbled and congested. This is a very beautiful establishment once you enter. There are little bonsai trees throughout, soft instrumental music, and the scenery is just overall peaceful. My waiter was super attentive and continously checked on me without hovering. I bought the spicy miso ramen and it was amazing. The spice level was perfect and the spices gave it the perfect taste. I also got a green tea Boba "matcha not really green tea" and it was acceptional. I was very surprised I enjoyed it as I have never been a fan of Boba. I will most definitely be back to this location when I'm in the area to try other menu items."

Yummy Bowl

★★★★☆ 3.6 (5)

"SO GOOD. I'm pumped Yummy Bowl opened in Greenfield. Highly recommend!! We're always one bowl, pack it high. It's more than filling!"

Kyuramen x TBaar - Indianapolis

★★★★☆ 4.2 (80)

"With a variety of seating (closed pods, open pods, and regular tables) and a mix oftraditional plus robot service,, Kyuramen feels like a extra special dining experience. We each loved our ramen choices as well as our thai tea and taro smoothie."

Zen Ramen & Sushi

★★★★★ 4.5 (87) • $$

"Very tasty chicken ramen. Well prepared and hit the spot on a rainy day. Service was prompt, friendly, and just attentive enough. The dining room was clean and had a pleasant music selection playing. Definitely a good ramen stop."

Mt Fuji Japanese Cuisine

★★★★☆ 4.2 (53)

"Really good! Quick service. All food came then the sushi roll so a bit out of order but the food was good and the waitress staff was kind. Not overly loud. Absolutely beautiful inside."

Rakki Sushi Hibachi Kitchen

★★★★☆ 4.2 (34)

"Great service and a fun atmosphere! We ordered pork gyoza and the rakki sashimi lovers plate. We were pleasantly surprised at the quality and selection of the sashimi! This chef selection came with tuna, albacore, salmon, white tuna, and yellow tail. It also had the dragon roll. Service was fast and friendly. We will definitely be back!"

Ramen Ray

★★★★☆ 4.1 (524) • $$

"Ramen can be VERY hit or miss. Pulling up to this place you can just tell it's going to be good. The menu is small, but for good reason. They do their ramen well. The Black Garlic Tonkotsu was full of flavor and very filling, and the miso spicy wasn't too spicy, but gave just the kick you were looking for. Both dishes came piping hot. Obviously you have to bag some gyoza - and these were fresh, soft, with a slight crust.Already looking forward to my next trip."

JINYA Ramen Bar - Fishers

★★★★☆ 4.3 (195) • $$

"Wow! I looked up this place for random date night because my boo was talking about craving ramen. This place exceeded my expectations. We pulled up and because it's in a plaza with other business it was really clear what the vibes we going to be. I honestly thought," Omg we are over dressed!" But no, when you walked inside the dark wood and open kitchen concept gave an elegant feel. We were sat at a table upstairs, which was so intimate. They had a bar up stairs with stools which made it cool if you were chillin solo. Our server was Salena. She gave us good recommendations and make our mock-tails. The strawberry one and the lychee one. The lychee on was our least favorite but it was decent. Now this ramen ! Mind blowing. The Creamy Vegan was flavorful and loaded with tofu. I enjoyed it. I want to revisit for a rice bowl. This place is a fem"

Kotoyama Ramen & Sushi

★★★★☆ 4.3 (48) • $$

"Kotoyama was just what I needed after a hectic day. The dining room is very Zen, lovely and relaxing. I truly felt transported to a small sushi bar in Japan. There are only twelve tables, so the place is small and intimate. We were welcomed with smiles and promptly seated. Our server was gracious and attentive. Beverages and food came out quickly. I had a glass of Chardonnay and my husband had a beer. They also offer specialty cocktails and mock tails that looked exotic and tempting. The menu is filled with ramen and sushi options. For apps, we shared the Rock Shrimp, which was crunchy and delicious with an incredible spicy hot sauce. We also shared the Indy Roll which was a beautiful and refreshing fried lobster, crab, avocado sushi roll with an eel sauce. For dinner, we shared the Sushi Roll Combo with three rolls. The sushi is beautiful and delicious. I loved the Shrimp Tempura Roll, which was spicy and crunchy. My husband enjoyed the Tuna Avocado Roll. They do a robust in-house and carry-out business on Friday. We had reservations. As we left, several staff thanked us for our visit. Thank you, Yelper Sigrid, for your review which led us here."

Mori Sushi

★★★★☆ 4.3 (278) • $$

"I had the chance to come in today and meet a student to have a last check in before they leave for a summer program at Wabash college, we were seated right away and our server was awesome, very attentive and friendly!,We had veggie spring rolls and pork gyoza that was very tasty and each came with good dipping sauces. We both had delicious sushi! I had the rainbow and ocean roll, loved having it in house and not take out like I typically do. All around great experience! Check them out if you are in the area"
