"AFURI is a popular, laid-back restaurant known for its delicious bowls of ramen with handcrafted noodles made in-house. Located on the ground floor of the Setsu Niseko hotel, it offers a variety of flavor combinations, including vegan options. The restaurant is always crowded, drawing diners with its standout chewy, thick noodles that absorb the slightly spicy broth." - Alison Fox Alison Fox Alison Fox is a Travel + Leisure contributor.

We waited for 30 minutes (which was reasonable) on a Wednesday night at 6pm before we got a table by the bar. We had the tonkotsu shio ramen and the spicy sui-gyoza. Overall, I found the meal average. I wish the ramen had more chewiness to it and that we had more chashu. Despite this, I enjoyed the charred taste of the chashu and the broth. Perhaps their yuzu ramen range is the better option. However, if you’re in the area and wanting ramen, still a good spot to satisfy your cravings.

We tried it all - and it was all amazing. Very 'legit', unique options between the apps and the different ramen. Eggs cooked perfectly, edamame was the only thing we all agreed was not the best we've had. Ramen: Yuzu shio was the most basic, but still excellent. Tonkotsu was the most unique, and a crowd favorite. Apps: all the dumplings were amazing, but the fried chicken stood out the most.

Incredible dishes, flavours were perfectly cooked & balanced, between salty, sweet & with a hint of citrus from the Yuzu. 100% keen to eat here again. The servicing staff were incredibly kind, helpful & can speak english well. Price is very affordable and worth every dollar.

The ramen is flavorful, with a refreshing citrusy touch that sets it apart, and the donburi is delicious, though on the smaller side. The staff is friendly and efficient, and the cozy yet modern setting makes for a great dining experience. Also, the yuzu beer is good —whether you’re a beer enthusiast or just curious, it has a nice citrus kick and is like an IPA for those wondering.

The staff are friendly, and the food is fantastic. The yuzu shio ramen features a refreshing hint of yuzu, giving it a modern twist on traditional ramen flavors, while the yuzu ratan offers a bold, spicy kick. Both dishes are made with a flavorful chicken broth.

I think slightly overhyped. Bit pricey. 2500 yen per ramen and don’t think it’s that specialised for the price. Could be a Niseko pricing thing. Yuzu Shio is very nice. Must order. The tonkotsu Shio is below average.

You might struggle to find a better restaurant anywhere. The Ramen is so good. It queues outside but there are times you can just walk in. Karage etc is really good. Quality is excellent.
