Gyoza was delicious and ramen was tasty! This spot has quick and friendly service with good and decently priced food!I liked all the customizable things you could add to your ramen.

Good as usual just the squid came out cold... and the Takoyaki was doughy inside... she said it's not that it's uncooked but it's meant to be gooey like that but you can taste the raw dough. So not for us but I do like the idea of it... fried dough filled with octopus. Got my favorites as usual bbq squid x 2 lol and spicy tuna bowl with extra tuna & spice. All I needed. The kid got the salmon poke bowl... said it had no flavor but she brought it home to eat with some seasoning and the teriyaki she asked for. She wasn't a fan of the taste of the raw dough inside of the Takoyaki. But really like the pork chashu bun minus the lettuce and cucumber. So all three new to her and well she's going to try out more stuff next time we're down. I tried something new too... the Japanese chicken curry. It's cool, different. I don't know what the little red bits on it are but it's tasty. I would get it again. But the extra tuna and spice on the spicy tuna bowl was the right move. So gooooood it's my favorite. Second to the bbq squid... not sure why both orders came out cold this time but it's ok. I'm going to steam them a little and heat them cause they're good cold but best hot. This place is always clean and have never had bad service- ever.

Finally got to stop by this ramen spot that opened in May of 2024. The atmosphere was very welcoming as the host and kitchen staff welcomed us as we walked to our table with a smile. The restaurant was very neat and clean and the bar looked as if it would be a cool hangout in the evenings. We had lunch here so we just sat in the dining area. Our server was very pleasant and got our orders and drinks taken quickly. I personally liked the food as the Gyoza was delicious and the ramen had a good flavor. I think it could have been a bit hotter however. It's a bit pricier than I expected as well but my wife and I were able to eat for $31 although she didn't get ramen. We shared one just to taste it because she's not a major fan of the broth. Great job to the staff and I'd recommend it if you're in the area to give this place a try!

Some of the best ramen that I have ever tasted! The servers and staff were amazing and created a welcoming atmosphere. There was good music and intimate spaces for you to sit. Food came out in a good amount of time and was so delicious! I will definitely be coming back several times.

This place was awesome! I always drive by it and it's really close to my favorite bar, so I finally decided to stop in and woaaaaaaah it's awesome. I love eating by myself and this place is great for that with the bar seating. I had the Kiwami Kuro and the pork gyoza and oh man, I'm still thinking about it. The broth was so flavorful and warming, especially on a rainy, nasty day. And the gyoza was perfectly crispy on the outside and flavorful on the inside. There appeared to only be one waitress, but she was doing an amazing job. Very kind, very sweet, non-judgmental when I asked for a fork (though I ended up not needing it since my chopstick skills are improving!) Go here! They have happy hour too but I have yet to visit during that.

For a long time I've felt Louisville needed an great Ramen spot! This is it! I stopped in for lunch, service was fast! The waitress was super helpful! I had the strawberry milk tea. I'm not sure how you don't love milk tea. Strawberry isn't my fave, but this was good. I'd definitely have it again.I started with a pork chasu bun. So solid! I could have made a meal out of these! (Could very well come back just and do that). Don't you judge me!!!!I also had the Kiwami Shiro. I toyed with adding things, but decided to have it as is before I tried my hand at chef. This is a solid bowl of noodles! Great portion size, great flavor, and balance of ingredients. The broth got progressively better as I got to the bottom. I'd be curious to come feel the vibe of this place at night. During the day, very chill and quiet. I can see how it would be an awesome spot later in the evening.

Ventured in on a Saturday night around 8pm and we sat quickly. Service was good, very quick, friendly. We ordered BBQ squid for an appetizer and it was chewier than I expected. I ordered the Kiwami #1 and the broth was warm but not hot like I generally expect ramen to be. The portion size was decent but not large. The flavor was typical but nothing distinctly Kiwami. All around it was just okay.Beautiful space, but the biggest issue we had was the flies/fruit flies hovering around our table. When we first sat, they weren't there but the more food we ordered, the more came to hang around. It was annoying and definitely dampened our experience a bit.

A friend wanted to try this place for lunch so we came by on a weekday. It had been on my list for a while. I had been following any updates on the Courier Journal since their opening date had been pushed.When we came in, it wasn't super busy. A few groups here and there dining in. Likely people who work nearby and had stopped in for lunch.We ordered 2 of the soft shell crab buns to share among 4 of us. But surprisingly, they didn't have knives for us to divide them...we had asked the staff and they simply didn't have any. I get that it's a ramen shop but...Anyway, the bao was very good! Something I would order if I went back! We also got ramen too. 2 of us got the spicy ramen, kiwami aka, while the other 2 got kiwami shiro. Not even spicy at all! Maybe something in between mild and medium but leaning towards mild. I love the Hell ramen at Ramen House and I was expecting something super spicy! Overall, it's not bad. It's nice to see other ramen shops in town.One con was that the back area was very warm. They had a fan on but it wasn't blowing towards us. Hopefully they can figure something out with that!

My wife has wanted to come here since they opened. I love Ramen so don't get me wrong, I was excited to go when we got the opportunity. Any new spot on Bardstown is always a gamble It seems like no matter what kind of food. The menu isn't very complicated and that's always a plus when you're ordering Ramen. Unfortunately the day we went they didn't have any of their hot spices so no dishes with any sort of heat were available. I found that to be kind of a bummer as I like spicy miso. The Ramen dishes we got - numbers one and four - were adequate. The food came out exceptionally quick, but the taste just didn't do it for me. It wasn't the worst bowl I've ever had, but it definitely wasn't as good as a trip to say...the Ramen House.Cool spot and in the middle of the afternoon, they had a fairly decent crowd. Their staff was friendly, and I was amazed how swiftly the food came out. So who knows maybe it was just me who didn't like it all that much? I'd go back to try one of their spicy dishes and my wife raved about how great the chicken fried rice was.

House Ramen did not disappoint! #3 add shrimp dumplings and the chili oil on the side! I've been here so many times and will never not order this from now on!
