"This noodle bar in a repurposed government building in Kittery serves “free-style” Asian fare. Don’t miss the okonomiyaki, pork buns, or ramen fortified by a 14-hour broth made with meat from the butcher next door. Insider’s tip: Pass through the back of Anju into its sister cocktail bar, the Wallingford Dram, for a drink before or after dinner." - Kate McCarty

"One of the main attractions to Kittery's growing food scene, Anju serves two kinds of ramen: shoyu and spicy miso. The latter gets its kick from spicy miso paste and kimchi from previous owner Gary Kim's line of fermented foods, Son-Mat." - Kate McCarty

ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS! This place is the cutest and has amazing food! As a vegetarian their options were all so flavorful and unique! Their veggie ramen was bursting with flavor which is commendable. Their cauliflower and yakisoba with tofu were also quite tasty! For dessert we got the matcha crepe cake and like the other items it was also scrumptious! Their staff were extremely welcoming and kind! Overall I would highly recommend!

Perfect as always. Anju knows flavor, that is for sure. We got the tuna & watermelon salad, the Vietnamese crepe, chicken khao poon ramen, and the matcha cheesecake and everything was incredible. The crepe was by far the best, honestly insane.

Stopped for impromptu lunch. Boy, am I glad I did. Outstanding! Everything about it. Though they were busy service was awesome. I sat at the bar and could see the chefs cooking (open kitchen). Fun experience. You know they’re not hiding anything. Food was fresh and super tasty. Good size portions. I was full. I actually order a pork bun to go not knowing how I was going to finish it. Safe to say, it didn’t stand a chance. I’m already thinking of how I can make it to Kittery area for another go at it. I highly recommend Anju.

I stopped by on a quiet weekday afternoon between errands for a late lunch and was seated quickly. The shio ramen was so flavorful - I loved the spicy seasoning that was on top, it added the perfect amount of heat. As an after thought, I also tried the matcha cheesecake, but it was a lil crumbly and light in matcha flavor - I really had to search for the flavor. I hope this was a fluke but next time I'll forgo dessert and grab a cruller at Lil's next door.

A local favorite! NEVER a bad meal. We love the food, so fresh, clean and filling. GF friendly. If it’s not GF you can ask if they can change noodles. We love the vibe. Lunch is our favorite time of day to hit the hot noodles. The canned cocktails are Yummy. The Dame Shrub is the best. We ware so luck to have this so close to home. And of course the STAFF is amazing, friendly and all and all sensational ❤️

We ate here TWICE this past weekend! It’s that good! Best ramen I’ve ever had and the atmosphere is cozy and fun with the open kitchen concept! We had a toddler with us and they were very accommodating and the high chairs were nice and clean ( not the case at most restaurants) They were also accommodating with special requests or changes to menu items! Overall 10/10 and we’ll definitely be back soon 🤩

We were really excited to try this ramen joint in downtown Kittery. First, we started with the Kimchi Trio sampler, each was fantastic and appeared to be made in house. Next we tried the Snowcrab Croquettes, which were fantastic. Lastly, we tried the Shio Paitan Ramen and the Jiro Ramen. Both dishes were plated perfectly and looked amazing. The taste, however, was a little lacking imo. Both Ramen bowls lacked seasoning in the broth and the meat portions. Overall, it's not a bad place and they have some very tasty options on their menu, but you can find better ramen elsewhere.

We came here for lunch on a glorious Halloween afternoon and Anju was spot on! Starting off with the rice cakes the chili oil brought them alive. Quite good! My Ramen was truly the star of the show. Amazing flavor profile, it was simply delicious! Service was great and it ended up being a memorable afternoon. Highly recommend!
