Speakeasy Ramen

It is hard to find a very good ramen shop in Ohio but this is one of the best. The tonkotsu broth was very good. The noodles and ingredients were cooked perfectly. It was slightly under salted imo and I wish the broth came out a bit hotter to the table. The takoyaki was decent but not amazing. The manager was very friendly and knowledgeable. The service surprisingly fast and efficient. The star of the show was by far the meat. You get two big pieces of pork which is very generous. It was melt in your mouth delicious and still had an unbelievable char on it with smokey notes. Whoever made this give yourself a pat on the back and keep doing an amazing job!

I went here for lunch and got the spicy cheese ramen. The portion sizes were decent sized for lunch and my food was pretty good. The only real downside was the construction going on that made parking difficult. They did have art from local artists for sale on the walls. It wouldn’t hurt to make it a little bit brighter so you could see them properly.

This place used to be good before they opened a new location opened in Troy. Ive been here about 10 times now and the last 2 times was the final straw. They are constantly out of items and this time completely out of tonkotsu broth. Got the curry ramen broth was alright but did overpower everything else. Shrimp was burnt and literally tasted bitter noodles were boiled until clumped together also found a fruit fly of some sort in our ramen. Portions also seem to have gotten a little smaller since a couple years ago. Takoyaki was good.

This was my first time coming here! For 1 the service and environment are extremely quick and friendly! I got the Shrimp Rangoon, which are absolutely phenomenal! I also got the spicy cheese ramen with extra noodles and pork. The broth tastes soo good, the portions are generous! Im soo grateful for being able to experience the amazing tasting food that Speakeasy Ramen has to offer, I know you will to!

Went with a friend and ordered an appetizer (Shrimp Rangoon), Tonkostu Ramen, and Sugar Cookie Egg Roll. Everything was hot and fresh. Montana was friendly and helped us decide what would be best to order. Will definitely be back!

I tried the spicy cheese, and it was amazing! The bowl was enormous — I honestly couldn’t finish it, but I savored every bite. The chicken was nice and crispy, and those spicy chili flakes at the end gave it just the right punch. Montana, our server, was so sweet and made sure everything came out fast and smooth. Everything about the meal was enjoyable, from the flavors to the portion size. This spot is definitely one I’ll be coming back to again and again. Perfect for anyone craving something bold, filling, and delicious!

This place is such a vibe! The food was delicious and the drinks too. We had ramen and it was sooo flavorful best ramen I’ve ever had and the sake was good as well. The waitress/bartender was soo informative and helpful I didn’t catch her name but she was very sweet. 10/10 can’t wait to come back

The food here is delicious! We weren’t sure if we were in the right spot as it’s in a proper neighborhood. Plenty of street parking. Indoor & outdoor parking. The server was great. I really enjoyed her and she knew the menu well. I always appreciate that about service staff. I couldn’t decide what to get so I got the flight. It is only broth and noodles and doesn’t come with any of the fillings of a proper ramen dish. But if you want to try the broths it’s a great option. I loved them all!! YUM!! I ordered a side of shrimp and pork belly to add to them myself. My partner got the ribs and they were delicious. My blueberry mojito was delicious. My only suggestion would be adding tofu as a protein option.

Very small restaurant, nice outdoor patio! Service is great as the staff are welcoming. Food was good.

Found this Ramen Speakeasy on yelp. Being a fan of good Ramen. My friend & I decided to go & give this a try. The reviews spoke highly of this place. Well, My friend who is Japanese & I really know good Ramen when we have it for a good afternoon noon lunch. We arrived just before the evening crowd was to arrive. Being Saturday, I would have expected a bit more people . I think my friend counted maybe 4 or 5 people already there. We found a high table as I was in a wheelchair. It didn't seem as if anyone was in a hurry to take our order. We were located at the end of the bar. Finally, our server came over with the Dirty old menu's or old ones. One large page an clearly didn't show all the items that were on the yelp page. After a quick glance on the page, order the Shrimp Ragoon. My friend wanted the ribs. To our surprise they were out. How is that even possible on a Saturday evening before the crowd even comes. Asked had many Ragoon in each order an was told 4 each. They were tasty & we both like them however very pricey for just an appetizer. For the main dish. I ordered the Spicy Chicken Ramen spice on the side. I forgot what my friend got. When our dish did arrive I looked down on the bowel and saw two fried chicken patties that looked like they have been cooked in old oil an tasted tasted like it. That alone just ruined the rest of the bowl. The Ramen could have been cooked a bit longer an was very tuff to chew. The broth was good however could have been more. Made the noodles stick together. My friend did say the hot green tea was good. All in all for price we paid, I thing we will continue on our journey looking for a better dining experience here in Springfield.

Yum! I didn't know what to expect but the ramen was flavorful and delicious. The vibes inside were cool too with some Christmas lights around the wall. Not a lot of parking outside of the street is full.

Service was great Ambiance was modern Asian style, nice sized bar and nice porch. I got the spicy cheese ramen and it was delicious! The chicken was fantastic and def the best ramen in town!!

Highlight: Ribs ($17), Tonkotsu Ramen ($17) Crunchy and sweet with a savory outside glaze, the ribs were tender and soft. Tender, thick, and fatty pork belly with a hint of saltiness, accompanied by a creamy broth. Crunchy vegetables, also a bit salty. Soft noodles. The broth tasted saltier the more you ate. Hospitality: We chose to sit outside, so the service wasn't as attentive. Honorable Mention: The restaurant is tucked in the middle of a neighborhood. The shop is small, but has indoor and outdoor seating.

I seek out ramen joints in all my travels. I love the esthetics of the place. It's a tiny restaurant tucked in the middle of a neighborhood, with both indoor and outdoor seating. The service was great and my Szechuan Ramen was tasty. The only downside is that they were out of many items. The recent award they won is driving business and they are still trying to figure it out. When back in town, I will visit again!

I met a friend here for lunch during the work day. We met up on a Monday, I was so glad they were open as it is typically an industry rest day. It is a small space, but welcoming and not too loud. It was pretty busy right before I got there, but my friend grabbed us some seats since I was running a few minutes behind. The menu is accessed on your smart phone, so make a selection before you come if you are in a hurry or just have crazy anxiety like me. I opted for the curry bowl made vegan. It was excellent and plenty enough for me to take leftovers home and enjoy again for the lunch the next day. I am excited to see they are opening a location in Troy- congrats Speakeasy!

There was a point in time when I would have called this the best ramen in the country. I'm afraid that time is coming to an end. I have been to Speakeasy many times and the food and the service were both excellent, even when things where extremely busy, but that was not the case the tonight. We arrived around 7pm on day I expected to be busy due to the sushi menu being available. While it had clearly been a busy day (many items were sold out - again, expected and acceptable), we were able to immediately get a table. I ordered the flight, and substituted in the cheese ramen because the Thai curry was out. What I received was two bowls of cheese noodles, and one of schezuan noodles with nothing else in them. Both my friends enjoyed their food, so I don't think the kitchen was at fault. The server however, never checked in on us, never refilled our water, and then gave us one check without asking. If I had paid he would not have received a tip. I hope this improves soon, because Speakeasy is one of my favorite things about Springfield and something I have enjoyed sharing with my friends and family when they come to town. I would be very disappointed to see it decline.

Always wonderful Japanese inspired ramen. We did carryout, the order was ready on time and made correctly. I ordered the spicy cheese ramen it is amazing, they know how to create special flavors with traditional ramen style! I ordered the spicy oil on the side which is what they suggest to do so you can spice it up the way you want. Richelle got the Thai curry ramen with added shrimp, always amazing too, and not too spicy for her. Rangoon is spicy too, but we love them this way. House made Rangoon sauce is perfect sweat and spicy for dipping.

This place is special. It's a small place so I always get it to go. My number one recommendation is order what they are known for, Ramen. I didn't which led to some disappointment. First course was Takoyaki. Octopus & ginger dumplings drizzled with okonomiyaki sauce, kewpie mayo, bonito flakes, & scallions. The Octopus was chewy and flavorless. The dumplings were mushy. Bummer. Second course of Kimchi Rangoon. Crab Rangoon with a hint of kimchi. I'm thinking sweet, Kimchi Crab Rangoon! Nope. The Rangoon was placed on top of Kimchi making it soggy. Yuck. Okay, so I said this place was special. The Ramen is creative, delicious, and outstanding. That's why you go there. I had the Spicy Cheese Ramen. Creamy cheddar cheese mixed with our Tonkotsu broth and house made chili oil, served with fried chicken, tea brined egg, corn, scallions, bok choy, bamboo, nori, and mayu. I always get an extra tea brined egg and sub pork ribs as they are so good. Get the Spice on the side to meet your pallet. I go all in which makes you reverse blow to cool off! If you love Ramen give this place a chance.

Food was Excellent !!! However, the waiter was literally running from the bar, to the tables, to the kitchen. I appreciate the effort but it was counterproductive as he eventually dropped a dish of food. Also, their TouchTunes is turned off, so the cook controls the music and it was heavy metal. I like metal, but not during dinner.

Whenever I am in Springfield, I have made it a point to eat here multiple times per trip. Unfortunately they are a victim of their own success. Two straight days with no egg in the ramen. Is it really ramen without the soft boiled egg? Portion sizes seemed a lot smaller than I remembered too. The food is still good but the crowd slows the service speed significantly. Nice place nice people....but might have to cut back to one visit per trip.

This place used to be good before they opened a new location opened in Troy. Ive been here about 10 times now and the last 2 times was the final straw. They are constantly out of items and this time completely out of tonkotsu broth. Got the curry ramen broth was alright but did overpower everything else. Shrimp was burnt and literally tasted bitter noodles were boiled until clumped together also found a fruit fly of some sort in our ramen. Portions also seem to have gotten a little smaller since a couple years ago. Takoyaki was good.

Love this place normally, but went to Springfield tonight and they are struggling. Out of so may things, one server in the front of house and the poor guy couldn't keep up. Hoping this is growing pains from expansion, but was a disappointing night out.

I visited Speakeasy for the first time with my sister recently. We were surprised at the location since it's kind of in a neighborhood location, but that's ok. We started with the Crab Rangoons & they were delicious, very hot and full of spicy crab flavor! Also very crispy! I also ordered the Szechuan Ramen with a side of crispy chicken, and added corn. My sister ordered the Tonkotsu Ramen. Both were delicious, mine was very spicy (which the waitress warned me about)! Overall it was good portions and good food! Took home leftovers & it was good warmed up too. Advice: don't be worried when driving up! The inside is very nice, but not a lot of seating if you're a big group.

So much to choose from and they all looked good. I am so glad Springfield is bring the quality of these wonderful menus. We definitely will be back.

We went on a Friday evening. The place was busy which is usually a good sign. Server was friendly and explained the menu when we told him it was our first visit. We all ordered something different. Everything was delicious. It is a small place and they were quick to wipe down tables and clean.

Ok, this place is an investment in the happiness of your belly. Don't cheap out on the experience! Follow the advice of your fellow Yelpers. Rangoon - on point Bonito roll - fabulous Thai curry ramen - scrumptious Tonkatsu ramen - DEEP flavor Szechuan ramen - perfect heat And the boba is just plain fun. Craft beer is an added bonus. Atmosphere is unassuming and eclectic. Go, eat, savor... And take a to go container to continue the goodness the next day.

I love this place! The ramen is amazing. Service top notch & very casual dining. They just built a new patio for outdoor dining which will double occupancy.

Waited for 31 minutes to not even receive a drink or any updates regarding my wait. I ended up leaving and cannot recommend coming here on a Saturday night unless you are willing to wait an hour to receive a drink and 15 mosquito bites.

This place has great potential for an American-made ramen. The takoyaki was surprisingly good, but a little less sauce on top would be perfect. The ramen had a generous serving of protein; however, the soup stock was a little too salty, and the soup base was too thick. Overall, we gave it four stars.

Speakeasy Ramen in Springfield is a hidden gem that exceeded my expectations. I think it's the only ramen place in the city so I was extremely happy to find one when I was in town especially during the snowy cold weather. The flavorful ramen and cozy bar inside create a unique dining experience. Despite the rain and a 40-50 minute wait, the friendly staff, good ramen and lively atmosphere made it worth it. Definitely coming back again and hopefully get to enjoy the outdoor seating when weather permits.

Didn't even get to order food. Went in. Stood around for nearly 10 minutes before someone came out. While i was waiting i heard the cooks in the back arguing over something and constantly cursing. I saw one of the guys use his bare hand to move food around in someone's ramen while use his only gloved hand to grab a dirty bowl so not even that was clean. Then a young woman came up and said i can sit anywhere. The only table was by the bathroom and two dirty tables that were left untouched for another ten minutes after i sat down. It took 15 minutes just to get a menu and by the time my date arrived i'd lost my appetite. This whole experience was gross and unprofessional.

The food is good, but one time I ordered the chicken salad through door dash and it was the tiniest pieces of chicken ever. Like just the little fried parts no actual chicken. Unlike when I had it at the restaurant. The last time I went we waited on only ramen & it took FOREVER. It is a tad overrated and most definitely overpriced. It's hard to get 5 stars. The curry ramen just tastes like cinnamon.

Yuck. Terrible. Much cheaper at food lion. Terrible service. Need training!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've been going to Speakeasy Ramen shortly after they opened and have never been dissatisfied! Tonkatsu Ramen is always on point! The best Rangoon I've ever had! Both Taco options are very flavorful! Double crab roll on sushi Wednesday is my go to for rolls!...I've spoke with people from bigger cities such as Columbus and common opinion is Speakeasy Ramen is some of the best in Ohio!

The good ce out amazinly fast the rangoons are top tear and had the best ramen I've had in a while would recommend if your in the Springfield area come here

I like going here when I'm in town! I always get the tonkotsu ramen (9/10)! It's delicious. My only advice is to increase the temperature heat so it is hotter when it comes out! The shrimp Rangoons are good (8/10) but mostly cream cheese. I like the sauce that comes with it. I've also tried the moto taco (8/10) and it's pretty good! A little on the spicy side. My only recommendation is to increase menu items. It's great for me because I only come out every few months, but I wouldn't want to eat here all the time because it's the same thing a lot! I wish they offered sushi all around the week because I can't get here on a Wednesday! Lastly, their cocktails are great! They are worth the price and tasty. Overall, it's a neat place and you should try it!

This was one of the only places I hadn't had in Springfield and I'm not really a big ramen fan, but it was good.

Friendly service, tasty tonkotsu ramen with pork belly, delicious braised ribs, cool atmosphere.

The ramen was absolutely awesome. This is neat little restaurant and bar with a relative small indoor dining area, a bar and outdoor seating.

This was my first time haven ramen. I was skeptical because I just didn't think I'd like it. I don't eat pork, I don't like mushrooms and other things. But I had the curry and tweaked it a little to fit my taste oh and I added chicken. It was delicious. I'm scared to go anywhere else now. Below is a picture of my husbands his looks delicious.

I have been hearing about Speakeasy Ramen since I moved to Dayton and let me say it lived up to the hype. I got the tonkatsu ramen and ragoons and both were delightful. The ramen was flavorful and fatty although for my personal taste the pork belly was a little extra fatty but still tasty. The ragoons were 10/10 although they are ~$9 for 4 ragoons they are worth it. Service was fantastic and I will absolutely be back to try their curry ramen.

Everything was wonderful - food, service and atmosphere. Appetizers were excellent and the ramen is unbelievably tasty.

Great food and ambiance. Service was prompt and very friendly waiters. I am anxious to return.

My 20th ramen restaurant review. This place is way out in Springfield Ohio from Dayton or Columbus. It's a pretty small place and they do not mainly serve ramen and have many side dishes. Unfortunately in a place like Springfield a restaurant that only served ramen probably would not survive. The vibes definitely felt like a small diner and it wasn't fancy or anything. However it was quite busy. We got an appetizer that included shrimp cream cheese rangoons. These were typical American Chinese style, but they were far too cheesey in my opinion. The main ramen was the tonkotsu ramen. It was decent - definitely better than anything in Dayton which doesn't have any acceptable ramen options. However, at $16 I felt like it was very pricy. The broth was good - but a little salty and overpowering - and I like salty broths generally. The toppings were OK, but definitely a step down from an established ramen restaurant in a big city. For some reason it somehow felt the toppings and egg were less seasoned in comparison to the ramen or that they didn't care as much about perfecting the topping flavors. They were very default and didn't seem super-super fresh, but simply good. But all in all this place was decent. The noodles were good - could have been springier but still good. I'd love the broth to be piping hot too next time.

Great ramen and you really don't notice the dive atmosphere, Wednesday is a good day since the smoked salmon rolls, usually get ours to because the place fills up fast.

I work practically in walking distance to this "hidden gem," and have been DYING to go check them out for MONTHS!! Nothing makes me happier than to see a up and coming, NON CHAIN, incredibly creative/"outside the box" restaurant arrive and do WELL, especially in the "culinary desert" here in the "Field of Springs!!" DON'T let the location of this wonderful spot scare you away; you're here for their AWESOME food, which is some of the best not only here, but in the whole region. Check their website for rotating specials, along with tempting standard features, including some unique twists on sushi rolls, appetizers, and some Asian fusion tacos. I ordered the octopus dumplings and the JFC chicken tacos, which were both ok, but they both were just warm up for the AMAZING, life-changing RAMEN!!! They've got a few tempting options, but I'm sold FOR LIFE on the Thai Curry Ramen. I'm a sucker for just about all things curry, and this most certainly did not disappoint. Spicy, but not crazy hot, wonderfully flavorful, and it comes with plenty of great add-ons. Are this the GREATEST ramen I've ever tried, no... But there's absolutely NOTHING even in the same universe here in Springfield, and that counts for PLENTY!!! I'm reserving a final star for a future dine-in experience, as my carry out was fine, well-packed, and ready to go on schedule, but I'm a "dine in" kinda gal. I hope to be back again soon and enjoy all they have to offer, either in-house or "al fresco!!"

The vibe is super laid back, relaxed. The service was great, better than most places. But you wanna read about the ramen. You won't be disappointed, it was delicious, just wish there was more shrimp. The broth was flavorful, the noodles had the right chew.

Small menu, but trendy bar location and decor. The cheese fries were fabulous and the DOM taco was good, but fairly expensive for a small order with water for lunch. For using the name Ramen in their title, they need more ramen options on the menu! Still worth a try & maybe they'll increase the menu. Young man providing service was polite and prompt.

I stopped in with a friend upon their recommendation. It's a small trendy spot with some nice outdoor seating and some booths/seats indoors as well. I ordered tonkotsu ramen and a steamed bbq pork bao bun. This was the best ramen I've ever had, no contest. The broth was rich, complex, just bursting with umami. The soy brined egg, the pork, everything was perfect and the presentation was gorgeous as well! Our server was casual and personable, contributing to a relaxing dinner. If you don't live near Springfield, this place is definitely worth the trip.

We stopped in here for lunch as we were in the area and the ratings were intriguing. We started with shrimp Rangoon. Now, I've never had shrimp Rangoon before but when I get crab Rangoon I like to see and taste loads of crab. The shrimp was barely discernible with a bunch of cream cheese. In spite of that, it was good. The sauce that came with it was awesome! Slightly sweet slightly chili flavored and a bit of heat! Next I had the double crab roll. I used the leftover sauce from the Rangoon and it was wonderful! Gets a big recommend here! My SO had Thai Curry Ramen. It's a large bowl filled with things that will make your tummy happy. Shrimp, boiled eggs, mushrooms, corn and bok Choy. We liked it a lot. Service was fast and friendly. Nice people. Can't wait too try other items! As Arnold said, 'I'll be back'

Wonderful food at this hidden gem! The Thai curry ramen was creamy and delicious, and the tonkotsu ramen was great as well. We had the pork belly bao which was also tasty - the bao had a nice chewy texture (but the bao took a long time - it came out halfway through the meal). I wish they offered a tofu option for the bao though. This is one of 2 places we come to Springfield for - worth the trip!

Righteous Ramen!! Tonkotsu broth is one of the best we have tried in the Ohio region! The chef who created this ramen is off the chain! do yourself a favor, drive, fly walk, crawl to Speakeasy Ramen... the Spicy cheese ramen is equally enticing.

I was traveling through Springfield and unfamiliar with the area. I went to this restaurant because it had good reviews, but was surprised by its location and appearance. Quite frankly, it looked sketchy, however, the food was delicious! I definitely recommend.

Small restaurant in a residential area, dress code very casual. Go there for the food not the decor. Interior seating at tables and bar, exterior seating on front deck. Arriving in the place first impressions are dingy, jaded, worn, sadly loosing its shine. Probably very similar to a small restaurant in the non tourist area of Tokyo. The noodles were very flavorful, all four stars were for the food , would have given professionalism of the staff and interior two or three stars.

We ordered the shrimp Rangoon first. It was delicious, smoky cream cheese filling, not fishy at all. $9.50 for four smaller sized rangoons is a little steep so I'd skip it next time. The tonkatsu ramen was amazing! Full of fresh corn, veggies, noodles and the broth was spot on. I added a little of their hot oil and perfecto! Two things I didn't care for...the pork belly was super fatty, as in so fatty there was barely one edible bite in the entire bowl. Secondly, the little mushrooms were very weird. Almost tasteless with a bad spongy texture that wasn't pleasing. The soy brined egg was ok but weird to me as well. Overall, a drive from Dayton was worth the one time four star experience! Oh, and the place is kind of a dump. Cute but dirty. Needs a good wipe down.

We came across this gem and honestly it's a fun place to look around, but the food is really good too. I had the Japan's Fried Taco. It was delicious and the sriracha aoli really elevated the fried shrimps.

Definitely a local neighborhood restaurant. Small, but food is unique and fantastic. Typically have five or six beers on tap with at least one IPA. Service is good. Food is great . Definitely give it a try.
