Otani noodle is a stellar ramen shop with excellent service and food. Otani noodle's employees are very respectful and delightful to be around, as well as helpful. One of the employees chased my group outside of the ramen shop to give my friend his cup that he forgot at the restaurant. The atmosphere is very soothing, and gives off a nice vibe. They have murals that help with the atmosphere, and are a nice touch/addition to the restaurant. They have some Oni masks hung up that I REALLY want to own. The food is just as swell as the staff. As I was getting full, I wished to eat more. When it was done, and I was full, I wanted more. I feel there is no comparison between Otani and other ramen shops I've been to, as it is one of the best I've tasted. I thank this shop to exist.
Please adopt me and my friend, Otani noodle.
I went to this place for the first time yesterday and was not disappointed. There are quite a few ramen places but this one has quickly become a favorite. The ramen is just so good! I had the torikatsu and ate the entire thing. I would totally recommend this place to other people looking for a great ramen place. I want to try the udon next time!
Never had a pork belly noodle bowl before, but my wife wanted an authentic Chinese ramen noodle bowl. This place was the bomb. I was impressed at the flavors and the quality of food. Will definitely be back!
SO bomb. Best Ramen I've in Cleveland area. Definitely hits the spot when I'm craving something warm, delicious and rich. Broth is complex and layered with flavor. I usually get extra noodles and pork belly, which melts in your mouth. It's like meat candy. Can't get enough, definitely want some right now on this snowy afternoon.

My husband and I went here yesterday for lunch and had THE BEST experience. From top to bottom. The people want to help you enjoy it. I was given a specific reccomendation---we were checked on twice...This might sound like no big deal for a quick noodle shop they really go above and beyond. We were on the Momofuku bandwagon in NYC and this place does NOT disappoint. We're just sad we aren't locals.
The food was fantastic!! Was well worth the drive from Youngstown!!
Best noodle spot ever!! Any broth that's cooked all night in meat is amazing!!! And Otani does it!! Amazing place!
First time there trying something new with my son. Was not disappointed, nice flavor, nice employees and reasonable prices. Will be going back
Favorite ramen place I have been too. We will definitely be back !
The portions are generous for the price! A must try for ramen lovers!
Love this place! Wish they had more seating. Food was awesome
Drove an hour from Kent to come here - was not disappointed! If you're looking for a ramen restaurant in the greater Cleveland area, this is what you're looking for. Great location, decor and of course, food. The owner was extremely nice and helpful as well since it was our first time at the restaurant. Overall great experience - will be back soon!

Great location, the area is beautiful, the noodles are delicious. Great selection, friendly customer service. Wish I could try them all. I would definitely return
I love this place, I could eat there daily. I always take an extra broth to go to hold me over till my next visit.��
Great service great food! Already planning another trip with family and friends!
Fast, friendly service. The Char-siu is excellent, and the music is so much fun!

Goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooood
The pork belly Ramen is the best!
So so good! Loved every slurp. Will definitely go again.
Everyone talks about the ramen. I am gonna say it's the broth or konkatsu that makes it so amazing and also the pork belly which is a whole new dimension
I'm from out of town and was craving ramen. Decided to do quick take out - sooo delicious and fresh! Will be back for sure on my next trip. � �
Amazing. Nice people. Easy, simple yet delicious menu.
Had the pork belly...LOVED IT!! The whole restaurant was slurpin noodles, it was great!
Go for the number 2 with Udon noodles - you won't be disappointed
Excellent ramen 🍜!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My son has strep throat and he said he could not swallow anything. I took him a quart of miso and a quart of tonkatsu broth from Otani. He said it was sublime. � this is a really great place for soup any day but even more special if you are feeling a little sick. And if you don't have your mom to bring it to you, GrubHub will deliver. I know, that's what I did last time I was sick!

Delicious noodle spot. Service was quick.
I wish there were more options for people who don't eat pork or seafood.
Spicy miso ramen and bulgogi for the win! Got regular miso ramen and added the spicy oil that's on each table, lol, it's hotter than I expected but my sinuses got cleaned out! I was definitely sniffling by the time I finished my meal. Will definitely visit again.
Quite possibly the best vegetable roll I've ever had. And the Beef Curry Udon was tasty. The food wasn't out in more than 5-7 minutes from sitting down, and it was all hot.
When we're back in the Cleveland area, we'd very much like to return.
Hole in the wall city japanese place. Had Torikatsu (chicken) slices with vegetables ramen noodles, special mushrooms and seaweed. Really pretty tasty. Owner friendly enough. Place needs cushions on metal bar stools. Hard surface tables. I would visit again. Downtown near UH Cleveland.
Love this place , I ate at one of the other locations but this one is great . The inside has nice dine in seating and a nice decor as your sucking down these good noodles. I had the Korean style noodles this time with pot stickers. Excellent!!!!! I recommend the pork belly Ramen it’s great also. They sell the Japanese soda , and other sodas as well . Friendly staff!!
So my experience was amazing. The service was great didn't wait long in line and food came out in under 15min. The food was amazing I had the spicy ramen and grilled eel both were cooked purfectly.the atmosphere was great tall dealings that made up for how small the place was. Seems like they do alot of business with how many people were in and out with togo orders. I'd come buy there ramen again and I would recommend this place. Only down side was no sake witch doesn't effect stars 💯
The ramen was definitely yummy. There are plexiglass set up in between the high-rise stools so that you can social distance. They were only about five tables to sit at though so just keep that in mind if you decide to come with a large group.
Amazing broth! The broth has so much depth of flavor and just tastes amazing. The meat is cooked great it, the one I got kept its crisp for a good amount of time even after being placed in the broth. The noodles have great texture that grab the broth and add to the enjoyment of the dish.
Clean location. Wide variety (20) of meal choices. Strong portions. My family tried 5 different meals and all were hot and fresh and tasty.
Friendly staff however compared to the downtown location the price is higher and quality lower. At the downtown location you get real chopsticks and Japanese style soup spoons. This location gave us cheap wooden chopsticks and plastic white spoons. Easier parking here though.
The food was amazing but it was 3 dollars extra than it said on its website, expect to spend close to 15 bucks on 1 bowl of ramen. But if that price is acceptable I'd highly recommend it.
best ramen bowl i’ve had! amazing service and the food is absolutely perfect.
My family and I stopped in town to get some Ramen and saw the previous reviews looked good.
We ordered edamame for apps, Char Siu Ramen, Pork Belly Ramen, Tom Yum Gong Ramen, and Pork Belly Don. The ramen was DELICIOUS! I’ve had ramen before and have never been impressed with it. The broths would always taste too salty and the noodles so bland.
Oh no! Not THiS place! The broth was savory and the noodles had flavor! The toppings were the right ratio to go with the noodles! We all sampled each other’s noodles and the unanimous favorite was the Pork Belly Ramen. This is REAL RAMEN and I’m so glad we came. If you’re in town and want ramen, this is the place to go!
In comparison to Otanis downtown the uptown location seemed to lack in flavor. I had the tonkatsu ramen and the spicy miso ramen. The broth for the spicy ramen was good and the only real punch of flavor from the two dishes. It's a nice place with a good atmosphere I'd just like some more flavor through spices and marinades to bring out the best in each dish.
10/10 we are all a disgrace to Ramen and only deserve to eat it if it's from here. I had the Tonkotsu(pork) Ramen and some Gyoza after. My Boyfriend got the Seafood Ramen and he said it had the perfect ratio of Shrimps(he's a shrimp expert) and it was all amazing. Please practice your chopstick skills here and buy way too much food. This was a great experience and I'm eating the menu😁
After trying 4-5 places here in Ohio, this place was the spot. Not only was this delicious but it was fast. We went on a night when we thought it might be packed. It wasn't. It's a hole in the wall with delicious food.
If you're looking for authentic Ramen, please, do yourself a favor, head here. 10/10 will drive an hour again for food.
One of the cutest spots to get lunch if you're in there area, the food is full of flavor and the employees are very helpful. It's a place where the food looks as good as it tastes, and the food is beautiful.
You might think that a bowl of Ramen isn't worth the money or isn't going to fill you up, but it's authentic Ramen that's loaded with extras. I could barely finish my bowl and was full for the rest of my work day.
