Morris Ramen

Decent Japanese cuisine restaurant to get Ramen. I liked the ambiance of the place, peaceful and calm. Ample seating and good service. It’s kind of hard to spot the restaurant from the road, you have to look for the sign on the door. The ramen was good compared to most places I had. If you like spicy food ask for the spicy bomb. I liked the fact that they had a good choice of food for vegans and vegetarians.

Found a spectacular ramen place in Madison near the capital. Ordered three different types of ramen and they each had distinct flavor of broth. With excellent chewy texture of noodles and fresh ingredients, they were all quite good. Strongly recommended.

The food was okay. The ramen noodles weren't what I was hoping for, but the miso broth was tasty. The staff were above and beyond amazing and the atmosphere was cozy and aesthetic. I ordered the vegan donburi and it was pretty good. Could have used more sauce. I was thrown off that they didn't have kewpie for the karaage. The satsuma fries were good. But the drinks! The nyango star is am absolute MUST!

Wow, we had a hard time deciding where to have dinner while downtown, and are very glad we settled on Morris. It was not only a great meal, but also a fantastic experience. The location is easy to miss from the street, and I wonder if I'd have seen it if I wasn't already looking for it. They're not screaming for customers to come in, so this gave it a slight air of exclusivity. We quickly saw they simply didn't need to try to get customers in off the street, because with food and service like we experienced, I'm sure the word of mouth is enough. Great authentic food, an awesome atmosphere, and a fantastic dinner experience.

The ramen was delicious! We almost walked by the restaurant since it isn’t marked on the outside, and I’m so glad we didn’t miss it. The space itself is small and cozy. You order with a staff member at the bar and they give you a number for a server to bring out food. We had beef and pork buns which were great. Hoping to go back and try their kimchi next time. The Morris Ramen was a simple dish that brought a lot of depth of flavor. Notable hygiene piece was that chopsticks and soup spoons are at the tables, unwrapped. Otherwise we had a great time. Service was very quick and staff was friendly.

Stopped in for lunch and got the Morris Ramen bowl, and it was delicious. I ordered without egg, and the broth was porky and savory, the chashu pork was tender and succulent, and the noodles had good chew. The broth itself has rendered fat floating in it, the flavor is amazing, and it doesn't change the texture. Nice vibe and aesthetic in the restaurant.

Despite the numerous glowing recommendations from friends, I did not go here the years that I was a resident. Being back in town for the holidays though, the aforementioned friends wanted to meet here for a meal. The restaurant has a great vibe. You enter through an understated entrance and step into a beautiful, aromatic establishment. Our group of six was seated at the one table near the entrance, with the rest of the seating being at the bar or at the long bench and tables along the wall. You order at the counter and take a number for your food to be brought to you. Their menu offers a range of buns, ramen and donburi, as well as an extensive drink menu. My wife enjoyed her sake and I was happily surprised with the mule I ordered. As for the food, the ramen was good but it turns out I’m not super into ramen. Can’t hold that against the restaurant as I would have loved some donburi. It was a really wonderful meal and the host went above and beyond to take our photo. They stood on a bench and held the phone real high.

The ramen here was good but I personally wasn’t a fan because they leave the fat(?) in the broth and overall it just left a weird aftertaste for me. The donburi and chicken wings were good though!

Popped in here with my bf for a quick dinner on a chilly night. We'd had plans to go elsewhere but the wait was longer than we could tolerate. I was pretty happy with our experience at Morris! It's a cute space, and the vibe is casual and funky. The food was solid and fresh. We liked the wings a lot, and I had a rice bowl that was a real delight. The service was ok, not super attentive but perfectly friendly and sufficient for a casual spot. I would go back if I were in the area and needed a cozy meal!

Greetings. When I entered Morris Ramen the lighting was dim and calm music was playing in the background. They were packed and had to wait about 15 minutes. My waiter was very nice and was patient with card trouble. Once I ordered my food arrived within 5-10 minutes. Their ribeye steak bun had a soft and light outside and a nice spice filled steak sauce on the inside as well. The Morris Ramen was hot and everything on top was also warmed. The pork on top was very tender, and the noodles weren't rushed out uncooked. Lastly their matcha cheesecake was soft and slightly chewy. A very good choice and I thank my friend for recommending. Thank you

Went to this place the other night after a long time. I remember it being really good but this time we were disappointed. I ordered the Morris Ramen with spicy bomb. The broth lacked flavor and was just too oily for us. Spicy bomb didn't add any spice. My husband got the spicy ramen and it had no flavor and the chicken was way too dry. Fries were maybe the best thing we got but the sauce also lacked flavor. I'm wondering if there might have been a change in management.

Morris has been our go to ramen place since they opened on King st. I think I will always love the ramen, buns, and the seasonal kimchi. You can't go wrong with the namesake Morris Ramen, but the spicy or miso are also my faves. I do want to say that I have not had the best experience since they changed the way they serve their customers. Since changing to a seat yourself, order at the front, and take a number kind of restaurant, the service has gone down hill. You are no longer greeted with a friendly hello, they always seemed confused about what you ordered and therefore confuse you, and I just overall get an uncomfortable, unwelcome feeling. The lights above the booths have been blinking constantly the last two times we have visited. It feels as though they want you to order, eat, and get out. I hope they can one day go back to a more normal service style or help the staff to improve on their customer service/menu knowledge.

Morris Ramen is a little confusing, as the main entrance is on one side of the building, but you can enter through the back as well. The back side has a little patio to eat at, but it looks abandoned from that viewpoint. You can still enter, however, and head up to order. The inside is beautiful, and the wait didn't take too long to order. We met friends for dinner, because they are big fans of Morris Ramen. The drinks were delicious, and the food was too! I loved the Morris Ramen, and the spice bomb made it spectacular. We tried the BLT bun, which was very creative and tasty! The reason for 3 stars is because both my partner and myself got sick after eating here. It could've been a one off, but considering we both felt ill after, I'm not sure I'd like to try it again.

I came here excited about the Spicy Black Sesame Mazemen, but it was flavorless. I ordered the Veggie Miso as an alternative. That was a bit better. They sell these "spice bombs" separately, but it doesn't have a good flavor and isn't very spicy. On the upside, when the staff realized I ordered the Miso as a replacement, they refunded the Mazemen. The staff is friendly, and the decoration is spot on, but the food is meh. I wouldn't come back.

We went to the capital for the free concert and wanted somewhere to grab a quick dinner beforehand. We chose Morris because it was close and we love ramen. And that was a great choice. The entrance is a bit hidden, but that reminded me of ramen shops in Tokyo that were tucked into random corners around town. We ordered four different ramens... Morris (pork broth), Miso, Spicy (chicken broth), Hiyashi Chuka (cold chilled noodles with pickled veggies) and a pork bahn mi to round it off. All the food was delicious. I loved the pork broth of the Morris. It had a deep, rounded pork flavor and not overly salty like some ramen places can be. The pickled rhubarb in the Hiyashi was a nice nod to midwestern produce. Kora was extremely helpful and friendly. She even blessed my kids with a complementary ramune soda. She offered us broth containers and if we weren't headed to the concert we would have gladly taken the broth home and made some rice porridge. Quality food and amazing service. Morris is a spot not to be missed.

this spot has been recommended to me a few times so i was excited to try! overall pretty decent esp for Asian food in madison but I wouldn't rate it as high when comparing to ramen in the bay area. we sat outdoors for dinner and our server was really great! we ordered the morris ramen miso ramen satsuma fries chicken karage kimchi lychee butterfly as a cocktail i ordered the morris ramen and thought it tasted good - again not the best ramen i've ever had but i still enjoyed it! i wasn't a fan of the satsuma fries but that's more so a personal preference bc i don't like sweet potato and that's kinda how those fries taste. the chicken karage was really yummy, i'd recommend that as an appetizer! the lychee cocktail was strong but i preferred my friends drink (sorry, can't remember the name of it - maybe the mizu-bachi but that one does sound good). i felt like service here was pretty efficient!! the restaurant is kind of hidden - seems like a hole in the wall and you don't even realize that there's a restaurant there aside from a small sign outside. finding this can be kind of challenging, so just be cognizant of that.

service was good, only down side was the quality of the food. my boyfriend got the morris ramen (pork belly), it came out with visible chunks of fat sitting on top of the broth. it wasn't appetizing or appealing to eat. i took a bite full of fat, i had to spit it out i got the spicy ramen with pork belly, it was disappointing to say the least. the broth wasn't creamy or rich, it was a bit watery for appetizers we got the pork bun and chicken karaage. karaage was flavorful and crunchy. pork bun tasted like any pork bun for drinks we both got the peach pop, it was so disappointing since they filled one cup with ice, and gave us the other fraction of the first drink in a small cup with no ice. i could tell it was the rest of the first drink since my small drink was only purée the ambiance was cool, it's in a small shop, with only one window which made the lighting super dark. it felt cozy being in a small shop, i just wish the ramen and drinks were better

Favorite ramen in Madison, maybe even that I've had anywhere in the US! For so long I got the Spicy every time, but I've recently started getting the Miso for an amazingly delicious umami in every bite (and I always add an egg!). It always hits the spot, especially when it starts getting colder, but really any time of year is the right time for a fresh bowl of hot ramen! They've often got delicious specials too - don't miss out!

Dog friendly patio Semi quick review: Morris ramen's broth seems to be pork based, but they don't skim the fat from the top. So you're left with a ramen base with loads of fatty coagulation on top. Smell of pork overpowers the dish and the pork chashu adds to it. Personally I prefer a pork chashu that has been cooked with a slight sear on a griddle/grill so it retains some of its shape. The chashu in this bowl becomes limp as soon as you pick it up as if it was overly saturated when it was cooked or laid too long in a solution before put into a bowl. The slice itself does contain a lot of fat. For the price of 15 I was hoping for more additions to the bowl or more of a satisfying factor. We were left with a bowl of pork broth, pork, ramen noodles, scallions, and an medium boiled egg. Staff: great, kind, doing what they can Atmosphere: ate on the patio which is dog friendly Food/drinks: maybe the miso base ramen would be better. I'd recommend the Japanese whiskey cocktails. The spices Korean mule tasted near exactly the same as a regular Moscow mule with more ginger. Improvement: skim the fat off the pork based broth and possible add more/different add-ons to help break the overpowering pork fat in the base and chaschu. Scallions help but a good ramen has more than umami regarding flavors and textures.

A hole in the wall. Literally. We couldn't find this place because there's no sign, just a recessed door. We had to ask a nearby business to help us find this place. Nice outdoor dining though. A great evening. The Morris Ramen was very yummy, as were the pickles and fries and Pork bun. The seasonal kimchi, made with peach, one word: why? That was more adventure than I needed. Overall a great meal. Great friends. Here for the Epic UGM conference. Grateful to have any food available with 10,000 Epic customers swarming Madison.

Well located and popular local ramen place near the Capital Square. I was excited to try Morris Ramen after seeing it mentioned on blogs as a top Madison Ramen spot. Unfortunately I was thoroughly dissappointed with Morris Ramen. We came early on a winter Saturday night. The Lady put our name in and was told there was a 30-45 minute wait. Fine, they're busy so we will wait. Towards the front of the restaurant there is a large table (that was open and not in use when we checked in - or for the whole time we were there) and a fairly open area. So the Lady was waiting there, but was told that that space was neeed for large parties and that she and the rest of our small group needed to wait outside. Awkward. So we are just supposed to wait outside in the cold so that this area can be kept open (which no one showed up to use for the entire time we were there) - okay... After 15 or 20 minutes I went to ask how the wait was now looking and I was told rather matter of factly that the original quoted 30-45 minute wait still applied. (Despite we were now 15-20 minutes later, and with no empathy. Ok...) Anyways eventually we were called to be seated. So we order and wanted to start with the pork buns and then I wanted to have the Morris Ramen and also ordered their Hibiscus leamonade. So we order and then I'm told that they need a credit card now at time of ordering to run a tab. Wait what? I guess maybe they've had some dine and dashers, but omg this is tacky. I've never had this before where I'm required to open a tab to place an order at a sit down restaurant. So the pork buns appear. (By the way they are $7 a piece, usually they come two to an order but the order here is for one bun.) The bun looks like a regular steamed pork bun but its larger than normal. I don't need a whole sammich, its an appetizer. Then biting into the bun, the pork is not the regular large chunks of chashu pork, instead it's small bits, similar to bits of pulled pork. What? Then the sauce is also not similar to other pork bun barbeque type sauces I've had. It seriously tasted like some kind of regular barbecue sauce out of a bottle and not a pork bun type sauce which is usually a little tangy, and sometimes with some mayo. And usually there is some type of lettuce or similar in the bun, this had pickles. The pickles are non traditional but I didn't mind them. The weird non-chashu pulled pork with jar barbeque sauce I did mind and was simply not good. So not a winner. So the Morris Ramen appears. They don't call it this, but essentially this must be their take on a Tonkotsu Ramen. I judge Ramen by the components: broth, noodles, toppings, Chashu - as well as how these all come together. The broth is a thin dingy yellow / brown colored broth with a kind of off weird taste. Definitely not a deep tonkotsu type broth. And there was a weird film on top of the broth, I've never ever seen this in a bowl of Ramen, and found it unsettling. Likely this bowl of Ramen was made and then sat in the kitchen and grease in the broth congealed into this film. Gross. Also I looked at the kitchen and did not see a large pot with pork bones boiling to make a broth like some ramen places would. The noodles were actually alright but I'm guessing they buy these premade in bulk as I didn't see any noodle machinery back in the kitchen. The toppings were quite stingy for this type of Ramen, just bamboo shoots, some scallions and only half a soft boiled egg. No Nori, no mushrooms, no corn, no sprouts, no fish cake - all of which are common in this style of Ramen. Onto the Chashu which should be the star of the show. So there were two pieces of Chashu in the Ramen. They weren't braised as better places do. Most problematically the Chashu was about 90% fat. There was a thin strip, maybe about a 1/4" of meat along the side and the vast majority of the chunk of Chashu was fat, gross. And with no braising, the Chashu part that was actually meat didn't have much flavor. Overall the only things to enjoy in this bowl were the noodles and half an egg. So for $18 I got a pretty objectively bad bowl of Ramen. This is probably the worst bowl of Ramen I've had in a long time. It's notable that this is the namesake item on their menu, the "Morris Ramen". So... a very disappointing and somewhat unpleasant outing at Morris Ramen. The service was not at all welcoming and was indifferent at best with some weird practices. The only person who asked how we were doing was the pony tail guy who asked on our way out. The food was completely substandard, ridiculously bad for the prices charged. This place needs a complete overhaul of all aspects of both food and service or it will sink to irrelevance. I'm surprised its as popular as it is given what they are putting out but I guess their location, lack of competition and maybe past memories have overcome their shortfalls so far. No need to go back here. Cannot recommend.

Stopped here on a business trip to Wisconsin. Great Ramen and nice atmosphere. Both times I went it was super busy so getting another drink took a little longer than I'd like. That is the only reason it's not 5 stars. Would 100% go again and think it's worth a stop if you're wanting ramen.

Morris Ramen is a small, low key venue that offers good ramen, appetizers, and beverages (such as soju and some craft beers on tap). I liked the decor inside (it's more dimly lit) and the venue is very open despite only seating like 20. The vibes are very good, usually the atmosphere is a bit on the louder side. The food itself was ok. I thought the ramen was good, but nothing really stood out to me about the flavor or ingredients. The noodles were cooked very well. The satsuma fries were tasty. Overall, I give the venue a 4 for atmosphere (very good) and a 3 (average) for the food as their ramen is tastes average IMO and the food is a bit on the saltier side.

First off, service was great. I did squeeze myself in for sit in meal within the last 25 mins before they close and I feel bad even though I know it's not technically closing time yet. But they accommodated and let me sit and enjoy my meal. I did leave before other patrons left with 5 mins to spare! Staff were friendly, helpful. You buy and pay first then sit with a number before food comes out. Love this concept. Easier for everyone involved. Location is by other restaurants, very central. Hard to find parking but you will have to walk a short distance, which wasn't a problem. Venue itself was clean and put together, dimly lit, could be a nice place to bring a date. Now to the food which is unfortunately where I had an issue. Broth itself was seriously overly salted and very very fatty. I've had lots of ramen across the country but this aspect stood out. The flavor itself was not impressive, authentic instant ramen honestly tastes better. I feel bad but it is my honest opinion because I was so disappointed by the mixed reviews before checking this place out. Next, toppings were so minimal and stingy. Barely anything to help fill the bowl. You can usually tell by toppings and I should've known better. I got the spicy ramen and it was more sweet than spicy. I tasted no spice at all. I know this is a fairly Caucasian area but most people who chose to get spicy food know what they can get into so a punch would've been nice. Finally, the bowl was tiny for the price. Overly expensive, but that may be due to supply chain so I won't harp too much on that but it is moderately priced. Overall, very disappointed by this location. Reading the reviews I was already hesitant but had to give it a chance. Now that I have, will not likely be back. Maybe if I was curious about their buns but even those don't look appetizing per photos by other posters. Hopefully this review helps others who are on the fence. Happy eating!

Morris ramen is good! The ambiance is great, and the service was amazing. They have a really discrete entrence but once you're inside it's really cozy and smells amazing. Mark took care of us nicely and answered all of our questions. My party was vegan/vegetarian, so we ordered the meatless options off the menu. I got the vegan broth with extra mushrooms and gluten free noodles. I wasn't very impressed with the ramen unfortunately. I usually love mushrooms but these were very bitter and did not taste very good. The broth was also bitter and not savory. My friend got the seasonal veggies in hers (I opted out!) and they were radishes that made the broth bleed red? Those were a little disorienting. I really love the shirataki noodles as the gluten free option though. I would definitely like to see enoki mushrooms or tofu as a vegan add on for some protein. My total came out to $26 for one ramen which is probably the most expensive ramen I've ever had. I overall really like the concept of this place but personally did not enjoy my food very much. I'm sure the non meatless options are amazing though, so I don't want to judge this place based off of their vegan food as I am grateful it's offered.

They made me tip before I got my food. Overpriced. $12 chicken wings have no flavor. Dipping sauce was bland. Feels like food made for suburbanites.

One of the best ramen places in Madison! Get the Morris Ramen and the chicken karaage. You're welcome.

Very friendly server. I loved my dish and the side of kimchi although kimchi was pretty pricey for the portion. Clean fun atmosphere. There is not much seating so that's a downfall for our large family and reservations cannot be made. Very simple menu and straight to the point. They even have to go Ramen boxes to prepare a meal at home to be fresh which was great to bring one and make for my husband. I will be back.

Amazing! It was a bit hard to find at first, such a cute hole in the wall restaurant. Everything about it was amazing. When we came by it wasn't busy at all which was great and the food came out so quick. The drinks they had to offer were amazing. The server was so sweet and had some great recommendations. Definitely will go again!

Perhaps they have one of the best ramens in Madison, but I'm not rating this place in comparison to other Madison locations. This is from my overall experience as a ramen eater. I really wanted to like the place. The servers were super nice, the restaurant is small but cute (although they do have wooden boxes without back support as seas), and the menu looks savory. And there definitely were a few moments of "yum!" But really, the ramen was just not good enough. I had the Morris Ramen. Noodles were good, but the chashu (2 pork pieces) was overdone to the point beyond tenderness and into the realm of literally melting off the chopsticks. I couldn't hold on up because it was just falling apart. Nothing to chew on. Oh, the egg was cooked to perfection though. But the most important part of the ramen - the broth. It was way too thick, and way too greasy. This is a pork broth. Pigs have a lot of fat. When you make your broth, you need to cool it to extract the fat that floats on top. It's a long process, but necessary - otherwise you're eating all this fatty grease. Not only was the broth greasy, it was also too thick. I had to ask for some hot water and pour it into the soup. I was afraid this would take away from the taste, but actually, it made it better. So I knew the flavor was at least popping. This would have been a great dish if they had just take the step to remove the fat. The beef/ssamjang bun had all the right ingredients and taste. But, the ssamjang wasn't spread out evenly, so some bites had chunks of it and some bites had none. Ssamjang is pretty strong, so a bite of a chunk really wasn't appetizing. The meat was also all bunched up, so it was like taking a bite out of a clump of meat. The slices of meat should actually be spread out in even distribution for good texture. My gluten-free needing friend was well accommodated with gluten free noodles in her ramen. I didn't try it, but the broth is the same and they just add different noodles in. Shout out for providing options for those who need it! (Though admittedly, my friend didn't really like the texture of this particular noodle) Chicken wings - on the sweeter side, with a kimchi sauce on the side. nothing special, though not bad either. I'm sure there is much more to explore in Madison. If this is the best ramen they can offer, I'll just eat a different cuisine. I know where to find better ramen.

I ordered the Morris ramen and I was disappointed. The broth lacked flavor and was very bland. Luckily the pork belly was full of flavor and made the dish taste better. I did order the pork belly bun as well and it was very tasty! I dined alone and was able to find seating along the bar with no problem. There isn't much seating though so it might be harder when coming with a bigger party. You order at the register and you can help yourself with water. As for service, the staff was fine! They were quick and checked up on me periodically to see if I needed anything. I would come back to try the rice bowls but I would skip the ramen. I've had better.

I love this place! So sad it is closing. Good luck to all those who made it a success.

Ramen doesn't taste good, in fact it's terrible. Service is meh. Seats are uncomfortable.

I went here for a business meal with a group of 6 and the person bringing us here told us we got lucky we didn't need to wait for a table. I assume generally it's crowded, and there aren't that many ramen joints in Madison. Coming from the west coast with a recent trip to Japan, I have terribly high standards for ramen. However, this place stood the test as it was pretty solid, but definitely not as good as other places I have tried. We shared fries, various buns (chicken, beef, pork) and banh mi for appetizers. The fries are kind of dry but they are the sweet potato variant. The buns are a bit soggy but does its job in sufficiently wrapping the flavorful meats within. The banh mi feels very Americanized as a lot of the meats are bacon-variants doused in a lot of mayo sauce. I got the Morris ramen with extra pork and while the first 2 pieces of pork were flavorful and very tender, the bottom 2 pieces were just a bit too tough. Noodles were alright but they gave a lot compared to other ramen places in America for the same price, perhaps because Madison is much cheaper than, say, Los Angeles and San Francisco. The ajitama (soft boiled egg) here is almost perfect, a feat that is pretty hard to pull off. No wonder one of the people in my group that frequents here got 2 extra orders of soft boiled egg every time he gets the ramen! Menma (bamboo shoots) is not that great, as it was a little bit sour. Broth is pretty rich, so if you are into rich broth, this is the place to be. There seems to be milder broth options for other ramen choices, but I just settled with their classic. Overall, this is probably as good as ramen gets here, since given that this is deep in the Midwest America, most of the places here excel in traditional American fare, making ramen places and other cuisines not as competitive in quality. That doesn't mean they're not good, just that they don't have as much competition to ensure top top notch quality to distinguish themselves from the crowd.

Came here on a suggestion from a person who is a regular here. They definitely hyped up the food. I was super excited I found the place through a nondescript door off of King Street. Check out the pictures and you will understand. I ordered a Morris Ramen and a side of kimchi. The kimchi was super good. Tangy, bitter and spicy. All the notes hit the spot. The ramen was somewhat on the same scale. The broth was a kotteri stye that reminded me of a thick tonkatsu. That was a good unsuspecting surprise since I was expecting just a shoyu based broth. The soft boiled egg along with the charsu was good. The one thing that stuck out like a sore thumb was the ramen noodles. They were too soft; disappointedly soft that I didn't finish them. Ramen should not get to the point of mushy. Would I come back again though? Yes, I would because they offer a number of other things on the menu that I'm curious about. When I come back to town for business I'll check this place out again. Between the odd conversation with the waitress, awkward hospitality and the mushy noodles, I would still come back. The food makes for a good transliteration of ramen for the western market.

Morris Ramen lacked flavor, Katsu bun should say mushy chicken patty, boa bun can be so delicious.

Amazing ramen, loved that we sat at the bar and could watch them cook/assemble the food. Super fun and laid back. Good drinks too.

Incredibly cozy vibes. Creative cocktails. Rich soups. Fast service. Excellent location.

Delicious food and friendly, welcoming atmosphere. The staff was very accommodating and had great food suggestions. I got the summer special (a vegan cold noodle ramen) and added chicken and my husband got the Morris ramen. We also shared a BLT bun. It was all delicious and we look forward to going back. They also have a great selection of NA drinks.

In my opinion, Morris Ramen is the best ramen spot in Madison. It's so quaint and charming, and the ramen is absolutely delicious. I've been twice, and each time the service was great, the food came fast, and everything was great. Definitely try the Morris ramen or the miso ramen!

This place is hidden, but my goodness the flavor of everything we had, was perfect! We tried all the buns and had their Morris Ramen, so good

Can't decide between a 3 and a 4. This is an order and sit situation. I prefer a waiter and ordering at the table. We had all the buns but the best ones were the pork belly. Fried pork belly was my favorite. The chicken was minced and fried like a patty with all spice. That one turned me off. Kimchee was simple and great! Other people in our party had the ramen bowl and it was salty. They didn't have fish cakes.

Morris Ramen was pretty average. The chicken wings were pretty good. The gochujang ranch was nice but nothing spectacular. The spicy ramen was $14. There was only one piece of chicken and I found it to be pretty dry. The noodles were well-textured but I found the broth to be too salty and not enough meat. It only came with bok choy, scallions and fungi but I wish there was an egg or something else to add to it. You seat yourself so it can be difficult to find seating when busy. For it being a ramen place, I was disappointed.

Morris Ramen has what feels like a pretty safe covid setup. There is a table outside the door for pickup orders, so you call when you arrive and they leave the order on the table. It's nice to not need to go inside to pickup your order. They are also doing delivery but no dine in. I ordered a veggie ramen, which came very carefully packaged with the broth separate. It was kind of a lot of packaging, but everything arrived safely. The noodles and veggies and mushrooms were just right and the broth was delicious. I was sad to hear they no longer have tofu in their ramen, but it was still a tasty and warming meal.

The ramen was very good. Talk about a hole in the wall hideaway though! You feel like you know a secret once you find it.

Broth and egg were great. The gluten free noodles were no good. Josh at the front was super nice.

The food was hit and miss. I think I just ordered wrong. I got the Chicken Katsu Buns and the chicken was a strange texture and slightly bland, my friend got the pork buns and they were delicious! I got the Madison/Morris Ramen and it was pretty lackluster but again a friend got the spicy ramen and it was much better. I did ask the server for their more popular recommendations.... Should have just gone with the gut.

Terrible service and the food was really bland. The waiter got mad that they had to bus a table for us.

No signage outside so it was difficult to find. Service was great, though, the ramens were disappointing. Miso ramen was too salty. Morris ramen lacked flavor. Satsuma fries and pork belly bun was the only enjoyable dishes.

There aren't many ramen places in Madison so I thought I'd give this place a try. When you arrive, the interior of the restaurant is very dim. There is limited seating indoors with a view into the kitchen, although they do have an outdoor patio (space that's been blocked off on the street). You order at the counter, and bring a number with you to your table - staff was very friendly. My group ordered two styles of ramen and donburi. The morris ramen was ok, but very heavy and had a layer of fat on top (not appetizing). The spicy ramen had a nice level of heat, but was again too heavy of a broth. The chashu chicken donburi was decent but not memorable - add more to the bowl if you want more of a filling meal. For those of us who ate ramen, we left feeling a bit bloated, and not in a good way (not constipated, but the food felt stuck in our gut - prob due to the fat). By the way, we sat outside and it's directly next to a cigar bar - so if you're not into eating dinner with whiffs of cigar smoke (esp if it's windy), I'd recommend eating indoors or ordering your food to-go.

First, I'd like to say the service was nice. I gave this restaurant 1 star for a variety of reasons. First, when you walk in there's an unusual odor similar to urine. The place is super dark which likely is to hide the dirt. Second and most important, the ramen noodle is not homemade and it brought me back to college ramen. I can definitely tell this ramen served was comparable to that simple $.025 package. Save your money and go somewhere else. Highly disappointing.

I feel bad being the black sheep of the Morris group of reviewers, but I was actually thoroughly disappointed after I tried this place. Came here on a weekday night after over a year of saying I would try it out and was unfortunately really disappointed. Morris is located around state street and is surprisingly a "hole-in-the wall"/accidentally might walk past it type of place. The inner ambience is swanky, similar to a place like Eno Vino and the menu is brief. I tried both the Morris ramen and the Miso ramen. While the ramen noodles themselves and everything was technically and flavorfully delicious, what makes me extremely disappointed is it was definitely a salt bomb! I would compare this to the saltiness of ramen at Tavernakaya. I kept taking more bites hoping that it was just my senses going crazy, but both my SO and I drank over two glasses of water to just finish the noodles. I do understand Miso is usually saltier, but I felt the Morris ramen was also just too much. We did not have any of the broth because of the saltiness unfortunately (although the flavors were creamy and rich and well done). I was also disappointed with the amount of oil sitting on top of my ramen and just felt that for the price and for how much I heard people raving about it, I was disappointed. I definitely prefer somewhere like Ramen Kid or Umami. I do commend our waiter for asking if we would like a container to take home the broth though (though we declined), as it was very thoughtful of him to notice!

I echo the concerns of others. The newer order-up-front lends itself to bad service. I guess if this is the new norm, I can get used to it, but I hope they're not expecting 20% gratuity when clearly this establishment is no longer full-service. Most importantly, however, is the food (Morris Ramen). Since Covid, the broth lacks flavor; it's very watery and doesn't leave that intense umami flavor in your mouth after your meal as it once did. It also lacks something else that I can't quite put my finger on; salt maybe? It's been a very disappointing experience every visit since their re-opening after covid. I really hope these guys can figure out how to take us back to the good times, even if that only entails bringing the food back to their previous standards. My 10-year old son even notices the differences :(

What a great option for some feel good food! The wings and sauce were great and spicy chicken ramen with spice Bomb were perfect!! Hope to be able to go again before I leave!

The best ramen in town. Actually in the Midwest! Try their sweet potato fries that comes with gochoojang dipping sauce. My favorite is Morris ramen.

Service was fast. The ramen broth was very thick with a lot of seasoning and that may have just been the broth with the veggie ramen

I was surprised how good the ramen was here! Smack in the middle of Madison, I wasn't expecting much of it but wow, upon the first slurp of the broth I was sold! Very friendly staff. Small place, not good for huge groups due to limited seating. Fast service and great ramen!
