Vibe: Overbearing brightness and volume

The vibe carries a lackluster appeal. The ambiance takes a deep dive into negativity with intrusive loud music and a striking display of bright lighting, creating an atmosphere that could be compared to an overly lit rock concert, but without the heart-thumping fun. The only silver lining being its suitability for a casual date night.

  • Great For Dates

    Small, casual dining with a chilled, relaxed vibe great for dates.

  • Bad Ambiance

    Zero ambience; loud music and bright lighting disrupt dining experience.

Perks: Friendly service dulled by scanty spaces

The perks of The Ramen add yet another layer to this confusing experience. The staff provides a reliable and friendly service in a tough, sometimes negative, environment. Large groups find it frustrating to dine due to limited space and parking is a notorious issue. The outdoor seating is uncomfortable and the limited vegetarian options make the diet category suffer.

  • Great Service

    Excellent staff, amazing service, friendly and accommodating atmosphere.

  • Hard To Park

    Parking is a nightmare, very busy and small lots, difficult to find.
