Best Restaurants in Columbia, South Carolina | Eater Carolinas

"Insiders know Menkoi Ramen is one of Columbia’s best-kept secrets. While most local restaurants along Gervais Street trend more high-end, Menkoi is a humble hole in the wall with big flavor. The apps are standard, but save the majority of your stomach real estate for a gigantic bowl of Japanese ramen. Spicy pork clears out issues that the infamous pollen might be causing this time of year." - Helen Harrison

Good ramen shop. Visiting in town, had to check out the local ramen talent. The ramen is quite good, apparently the best in the area. I'm not saying the food is S-tier as in Japan or Ramen Tatsu-ya (Austin, TX shout out), but certainly A-tier and a great restaurant for this city. The staff were friendly, helpful, efficient. Reasonable prices. I wholeheartedly recommend this Ramen establishment. Ramen love!

I brought a bunch of my friends here on a trip to get a bite to eat. We all left satisfied and full. I personally got the Tonkatsu Ramen with Chicken and extra noodles. I also got a Strawberry Ramune as my drink. The staff were very helpful and everyone had a good time. Definitely would recommend this place to someone looking for some Ramen.

I've been wanting to try a ramen joint and decided on this spot based upon their reviews. I'm glad to have experienced it, but I'm not a fan. My spouse enjoyed it and is open to trying another dish. We got our food to go. He had the #3 Tonkotsu Ramen (Pork based) and I had the #8 Chicken Ramen.

Simple and tasty, no non-sense ramen! You can eat a bowl full without feeling overwhelmed. My Chinese friend introduced me to this place and she loves it. There is only one vegetarian option and I would love to see more vegetarian options.

Excellent food and service. The egg was cooked perfectly, the noodles were soft and tender. Overall the best Ramen place I’ve had, my wife and I enjoyed the drinks and the ramen.

Ramen here was so good, it was heavenly we got the tonkatsu Ramen and the chicken Ramen. The service was speedy and kind. Both meals broths were so rich and very flavorful the tonkatsu was so tender, gosh this place is so good to get a quick bite that fills ur soul.

Where do I start. Been coming here for 10 years. There used to be one in Charleston where I live, and it’s so good that I’ll drive up here just to have it from time to time. I’m so glad that throughout the years, they’ve never changed. It’s become a nostalgic flavor. Spicy tonkotsu is one of the best classic bowls of ramen I’ve had since I left Japan. So nice that a simple, consistent, no-frills shop like this can exist here. Thank you Menkoi

We were looking for a quick lunch and this fit the bill! The counter person was very kind and adjusted our selections as needed. We grabbed a table, our drinks, and before we knew it… our edamame and ramen bowls arrived! The food was yummy and just as we ordered it. The only suggestion… maybe work on the atmosphere a bit. It was relatively run down but nothing a fresh coat of paint and a some strategically chosen wall decor pieces couldn’t solve! Thanks so much!
