Kirin Noodle

The vibes of the restaurant and the friendliness of staff was amazing. Their Ramen on the other hand left much to be desired. It was really bland but we ordered their kimchi which was a saving grace! Appetizers are properly flavored and really good though :

We went for the first time and had an incredible experience. Great and unique cocktails and our ramen came out so fast. It was absolutely delicious and you could tell the ingredients were high quality. Great service and ambiance too, very relaxing vibe. We can’t wait to go back!

Fantastic place for ramen, great staff. Never had a bad experience. Many people eating solo, so you know it's good.

This is by far one of the top 3 noodle places in Columbus.Short review:The food is truly really amazing, atmosphere is modern, but the services is next level and honestly the best I've experienced in years!Parking was ok, with many spots around the back of the building. We walked in with no reservations, and for certain party sizes (4 or more) you can get free a appetizer on most days. Portions are very filling! Prices are good.Food:Easily in the top 3 best noodle places in Columbus for me (and there are quite a few to choose from). They truly build complex flavors into their ramen bowls, and start out with mostly chicken broth bowls as opposed to beef or pork which gives a lighter flavor allowing more complexity to it.Their sushi is not bad at all, but the star is definitely their variety of ramen. (We had the Ajo, and the Shio Ramen)Their Chicken Apps are excellent as well, and their sides are well flavored and prepared.My favorite drink would definitely be the Mango Smoothie, truly like no other I've had in a while (even compared to dedicated smoothie shops)Service:This is where (for me) Kirin further sets themselves apart, since their service is impeccable! Our waitress was so very fast and efficient, and was always kind and made us feel super welcomed. She was ever attentive and ensured our needs were taken care of in a warm and wonderful way. And when we made special requests for the dishes or utensils, carryout bowls and cups, she was more than happy (and super fast) with the assistance. This is what service should look like, best I've had in a while!Atmosphere:Modern, warm and welcoming. Semi quiet, but very close seating which lends itself well to the warm feel. Restrooms are well maintained as they should be.Overall, this is now in my top 5 best ramen I've had, ever. And the number 1 place in service I've had the pleasure of experiencing in years. Will be visit again and again and again. Amazing!Vegetarian options: Have more veggie options than most other ramen places. (Both ramen and sushi which is very flexible). Can modify dishes on request as well.Kid-friendliness: Seems like a friendly place to bring kids. Be mindful of hours and stick to daytime and chose seats appropriately and you should be perfectly goodParking: Parking around back is better. Short 2 min walk is not bad at allDietary restrictions: Can modify dishes on request usually. But expect a 5 min delay in prep which is reasonable

Stopped in here after a park visit and it was so refreshing! The Ajo ramen and chicken karaage is delicious and the customer service is wonderful. 100% would recommend.Vegetarian options: I don't eat beef or pork so it was refreshing to see ramen with chicken and vegetable broth!
