Fujiya Ramen

Found this ramen place through Yelp. It's a small spot but definitely worth the try. Good for date night but it's a little cramped, but it's nice!The chicken karage was great! I liked the spicy mayo sauce for it. The old fashion was ok not like a speakeasy taste but good for a ramen spot, same goes for the espresso martini.The chicken ramen was really good! I loved their broth! I've come here a few times and I always get the same thing, so not sure on the other things. Will definitely be back again for some ramen.

Even if you're not in the mood for ramen, Fujiya is a great spot! We decided to pop in on a cold snowy day, and it was definitely the right choice. We sat at the bar and got our drinks right away. We split the hot toddy, and it was full of flavor and was the perfect way to warm up after being outside. While we did feel it was a bit pricy, it was delicious nonetheless. We split several menu items, including yakitori, okonomiyaki, and pork buns. The crispy chicken yakitori was to die for, and I'm still thinking about the light, crispiness days later. The pork belly yakitori was cooked to perfection, and the chicken yakitori was tender, but the latter would have been better with a sauce or some additional seasoning. The okonomiyaki was such a delightful blend of texture and flavor, while not being overpowering. I am not usually a cabbage fan, but this blew me away! The pork buns were a solid finish. The pork was tender and juicy, and the sauce combo was a perfect blend of savory, sweet, and light spice. Service was a bit on the slow side, but the restaurant was busy and the staff were all incredibly friendly, so we didn't mind the wait at all. Highly recommend!

We stopped by on Monday for Pittsburgh Restaurant Week for 5:30pm and were able to get a table right away. It soon filled up and there was a long line so get there early if you can because the space is small and there's not a ton of seating. I definitely wouldn't bring a group of more than four people here.The food was pretty good. I really liked my kaarage and the dessert was good. The ramen was a little bland so we asked for spicy chili oil which made our ramen perfect. Our server was nice and attentive.

1/8/25Ate List:Tonkatsu Ramen - Score 10I have been going to this place since about 2017/2018. It's my favorite ramen spot in the city.I've kept it secret from most but now that it seems the secret is out by the number of videos I've seen on Instagram - Yes, the hype is real. The ramen here is incredible. When the season is right or I'm feeling a bit under the weather, I will get the Pork Tonkatsu ramen with an extra runny egg and I feel REVIVED. I feel instantly better every time I have it. I have CRAVED this dish and I will again soon I'm sure.Fujiya Ramen is the best.

Very cute and cozy spot with delicious ramen and good cocktails. We did lunch during restaurant week and the menu offered a great selection of items, including dessert. The service was excellent and everyone was very friendly. We will be back. Parking is a little tricky.

Best ramen hands down. Never disappointed when I go here. I always get the same things, spicy miso ramen, takoyaki and pork buns. I decided to try the soft shell crab buns and they were so good. Crispy and huge! Their seasonal old fashioned was tasty and balanced

Super cool little spot, food was amazing and the atmosphere is great. Look forward to eating here any time we are in the area.

It's great to be back after the pandemic! As was a tradition till four years ago, I loved my "mini vacation" into Japanese cuisine on my birthday. The prices are about typical for a ramen house (and middle of the road when it comes to restaurants... figure a bowl of Ramen soup to usually cost $18-$20), metered street parking is available and free after 6pm or Sundays, they do have a 5-6pm happy hour, and around 7:45pm we were seated quickly. Portion sizes are large!My wife would recommend a jacket just in case, because they can open up a huge glass window at the front of the shop, which I appreciate for the fresh air and wonderful smells as you approach the restaurant.The broth on my Tonkotsu Ramen was rich and flavorful in a way you don't get by adding an egg to dried ramen packets, the noodles are a special chewy, the spinach and scallions fresh and nutritious, and the pork belly slices are served almost translucent but the broth's heat tempers them as you eat. You can eat the pork early for a buttery, melt in your mouth experience, or eat those noodles and veg while they're chewy and crisp and come back to the pork later and it will have firmed up like boiled meat. There will be a couple spices at the very bottom of the bowl... be careful if you don't like bitter things!My wife thoroughly enjoyed her vegetarian ramen, though I would recommend asking about eggs if you don't eat them.I do think the little ramen house is cute, staff are quick and attentive, and the food is something special. I always have a great time, but between drinks and appetizers, I always spend like $60 and leave super full (but content!). Great for an unpretentious but special night out :)

The picture doesn't do justice since everything is half eaten but this place has pretty good ramen! I got the vegetable ramen and my friend and I split the vegetable tempura (delicious) and an asparagus and bacon skewer and a mushroom skewer. The asparagus and bacon was good but probably won't get them again. Our service was great. He was quick and very attentive. Our food came out at a decent time as well. This is a cute spot in shadyside if you're looking for ramen. Next time I want to try the rice box!

I saw this place had good reviews and thought I would give it a shot. I ordered the wasabi garlic edamame as well as the vegetarian ramen add tofu and the Ube- bay which was a featured seasonal cocktail. Everything was fresh and carefully made with love and attention to detail. The ingredients were so flavorful and the staff was so fun and also professional! I definitely recommend this place to anyone who wants to taste and experience authentic Japanese comfort foods. Mmmmm... Thank you.
