"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 ."

"Arriving inside my friends and we were not greeted by any staff we had stood there for 10 mins or longer. We are from out of town and was really hoping to have some good ramen. We hadn't been greeted so we figured we had to order on the tablets to be seated. Also multiple groups of people who were not (black) had been greeted quickly and sat. Then we'd find out that, that was a to go order tablet with out any indication of it. We were told quite rudely by one of the workers. We had thought you ordered first then sit and she had told us it's 10 dollars to sit inside when in reality that wasn't true. She had told my friend once I had waited outside that she meant you had to spend a 10 minimum which I had done I paid 25 dollars in fact. We were blocking the doorway and didn't want people to run into us or vice versa. The situation to me escalated from there and the worker became quite rude once we asked if we'd just be able to sit and wait. And then a heated conversation back and fourth with my friend took place and then the women asked if she was scared of her and then said well I'm scared of you and she had stepped back. This was incredibly rude and not okay, so my friend asked for a refund. Because I'm no way shape or form was my friend intimidating her. And with that we left I wasn't able to get a refund due to the women saying it's already done so I took my ramen. That I personally felt had a dash of racism tossed into. So I tossed it into the nearest trash can I saw. Honestly this was my first time to Philadelphia and it sucks that at the first place I ate at I felt we were denied entry ."
