"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 ."

"My wife and I visited for the first time on a Saturday evening. We were attracted by a special menu run in conjunction with a local restaurant group.Cudos to our server, a pleasant little southern belle by the name of Angela. She was very busy with tables spread out between the main dining area, a larger party room and the patio. Running around like a puppy chasing its tail she managed to keep up with all of her tables admirably. She answered all of our questions in good time. I will make sure to ask for her ifwhen we visit again. The food was mostly very good to excellent. I had the Crawfish Poutine, a tasso gravy loaded with crawfish and andouille and crispy edged sunny side up eggs over nice crispy fries. My wife started with the butternut squash soup and followed with the salmon over leekonion grits. The soup was a little spicy but very tasty. The ice creams were house made and very tasty. I would only have a few criticisms to offer. If you are going to call something a wedge salad it should be an iceberg wedge, not a chunk of bibb lettuce. It should also have grape tomatoes and the balsamic glaze. The brussels sprouts we ordered were tasty but woefully under cooked, almost impossible to chew. One other thing: The noise level in the room was ridiculous. We had a hard time conversing across the table. They would benefit from some sound absorbing materials lower on the walls to cut down on the ambient volume. Based on the food and service alone I would give the restaurant a to a The sound detracted mightily from the experience hence the star rating"
