Sooooo the food was delicious! The atmosphere was chill.. Our server was super sweet and so was the rest of the staff.. It was our first time at Ramen Bar and although not horrible it could've been better.. They open at 4pm we arrived at 6pm... After we ordered our drinks and apps we had to wait 30 minutes for our entrees to come out.. They didn't have any of the liquors we were asking for that we were told they have.. Ended up getting Hot Sake but it was underwhelming... The broths for our ramen took 30min and that was told to us 10min after we placed our entree order.. So about a 40min wait.

I stopped by ramen bar with my partner for a quick dinner, and overall it was an alright experience. We went right around 5 on a Thursday and got seated right away, but it definitely did start to pick up during peak dinner time. The servers were attentive until then-- it definitely was effort trying to flag them down for our check.
The ramen itself was also alright- I ordered the tsukemen as I was excited to see it on the menu, as it's usually a rarer ramen item. However it wasn't really dipping noodles as they're supposed to be- the broth is supposed to be served piping hot and

We loved this place when we ordered awhile back but we just got our food and it was not good. The tuna roll was delivered hot and it looked funky. My husband is more adventurous than I am so he tried them and the guy who eats anything said they were disgusting. My chicken ramen had chicken that looked purple and the taste was off. Very disappointed and will not order from here again.

My new favorite place for dinner in University City. Ramen was the main attraction for one in our party, and didn't disappoint, but the delight was the Japanese appetizers the rest of us made into a meal: kara-age moist and perfectly fried, shumai light as creampuffs, yakitori with a tangy sauce to take it to the next level, and gyoza with a nice balance of crisp and soft. We pushed out luck and tried the shrimp and veg tempura -- hot and delicious, but not quite the light, crispy, non-oily perfection that tempura can be. Still, that level of perfection is so incredibly rare, I am not docking

Ramen Bar is what got me hooked on to sushi. The Sweet Green Veg roll was one of my favs but I ordered it to go and was really disappointed - it did not taste as fresh the roll was soggy and drenched in the sauce. I also got the Miso Ramen - did not taste fresh. I'll hold off on returning till things are back to normal!

This is one of the more unique ramen shop because unlike traditional ramen shop, this one offers an experience and convenience via its lounge-like cozy and spacious atmosphere (most hardcore ramen shops are cramped), a full BAR (yay college town), and even sushi bar.
On a recent business trip to Philly, I had a good experience grabbing a quick bite here enjoying the comfortable and airy atmosphere buzzing with the youthful energy of Drexel University and began by sipping my favorite Japanese beer - Kirin draft.
I ordered their Kara Kara Tonkotsu ramen and it delivered in that comforting broth

Spacious and clean spot to grab sushi. We came here to get a quick lunch one weekend with friends and the sushi was really fresh. We didn’t need a reservation and the place wasn’t crowded at all because we went during the day. I got a regular roll and two special rolls and I spent under $40 which was really reasonable for the amount of sushi that I got. I never really go up to the University city/Powelton Village area but I will definitely go back again if I’m ever up in that area.

I came here last night for a friend's birthday. Our party had over 20 people, but the servers were able to accommodate all of us. The servers were all very friendly.
We ordered a few appetizers which were good-- our favorite was the ika geso kara-age (fried squid). Their takoyaki came out hot, fresh, and very tasty.
I ordered the Shoyu Ramen which was flavorful, but I wish there wasn't an additional cost for a marinated egg.
My friend ordered the Gyudon Donburi-bowl... delicious! We loved the strong mushroom flavors paired with the beef. The egg was cooked to perfection! If I go back

Tried this place out on a stop in Philly near the Drexel campus. Not sure how good ramen is in Philly but compared to what I'm used to getting in NYC, Ramen Bar was just so-so.
The decor is clean and bright and the menu has pretty much everything you could want if you're craving ramen. They also have a sushi menu as well as some appetizers so you definitely have choices when you come here. We decided on ramen and some appetizers before we got back on the road.
Seaweed salad was ok, nothing different from what you get at any Japanese establishment. Takoyaki was clearly frozen and

When we're on Drexel's campus we have to have some Ramon noodles. The students are just returning from Christmas break do the restaurant was not busy.
We were seated as soon as we arrived at a nice table. Servers were all very attentive. We ordered the suggested Ramon dishes. Don't forget to add the marinated soft boiled egg.
Save room for desert the green tea ice cream is worth saving room for. The best part is the cost . With green tea s Ramon bowl and desert we spent about $20 per person

This place is great for reasonably priced sushi and ramen. My friend and I always go and get the same thing. She usually gets ramen with pork and a fried egg. I usually get some sort of sushi roll.
The food is always pretty great. I don't think I've left disappointed although I usually end up ordering a roll that's more basic and a safe bet. Tonight I had a spicy tuna and a Philly roll. They are decent in size as well. Once again, my friend ordered ramen, which never disappoints. The food usually comes out pretty quick as well.
Downsides: I wouldn't recommend for a date unless

Hands down my favorite ramen bar on campus. I have the same order every time we come: chicken miso ramen. I love the Veggies it comes with, especially the bamboo. But I usually ask them to leave off the ginger. They even give you a narato fish cake!
They do close in the middle of the day to reset from lunch to dinner. But they never attempt to push us out the door. The service is great and the happy hour specials are awesome.
My only downer is that I've never enjoyed the sushi. But it was the place my group always met up at for dinner!

This place was dank!!! I've waited to find a good ramen spot in Philly for a while. Living in society hill doesn't present a myriad of ramen options but I went here with a friend post yoga on the river.
Expansive menu options, lots of ramen to choose from but also non-ramen items. My friend and I finished our ramen looked at the other table eating sushi and got hungry all over again.
They have vegetarian/vegan broth which is great and appreciated. It makes it easy to not have to compromise my diet when I eat out with friends.
Good location, good atmosphere and good ramen!!

I don't know why Ramen Bar only has 3.5 stars on Yelp because it was amazing! I got the Tonkotsu Chashumen with the marinated egg add-on. Not only was the portion size extremely generous (promptly came back home and took one of the best naps of my life), but it was also delicious.
The wavy noodles were cooked perfectly - not hard but not mushy either - with the right proportion of meat/veggies/toppings. I typically do not drink much of the broth because it's usually too salty but this one was quite good! It was a very happy time with my friends and I slurping down everything.

Very decent ramen place with the classic japanese ramen options but also unique fusions of other cuisine such as Thai. The staff here are friendly and attentive & we were seated right away. They have a large menu of rice (don) and ramen options. I got the tom yum ramen with chasu, since I love tom yum soup. It was a bit salty but still delicious and flavorful. You must get extra chasu to upgrade your ramen..also don't forget corn.
My friend got the dipping ramen and he said it was good.
Worth giving this place a try! My next goal is to try their green curry ramen which is unique.

This place is great for vegetarian sushi lovers as it has two veggie special rolls as well as the standard sushi rolls like avocado cucumber and sweet potato. We got the dinosaur roll ( mixed veggies and spicy mayo) and loved it. I also liked the tori katsudon but wasn't a huge fan of the teriyaki chicken. It was a bit dry and probably could have used more teriyaki sauce. But it's a healthier rice option on the menu since it is entirely grilled chicken.
Definitely don't leave without dessert! The mochi ice cream (red bean paste and great tea) were both great but dorayski combo

Today was the soft opening of Ramen Bar's new location on the Drexel campus. Since I'm not very familiar with the Drexel surroundings, I initially had some trouble finding it, but it's essentially on the Lancaster Ave side of The Summit building, next to Old Nelson.
The space is more modern and spacious than its other location off of the Penn campus. There is also more of an ambiance, with stylish light fixtures and some wall art, in addition to the usual back-lighting. The menu and pricing are pretty much the same as the other location, with a lot of ramen and sushi options as
