With a name like Artisan Ramen, it's no surprise we only employ skilled virtuosos of ramen in our kitchen. We begin by crafting noodles fresh each day before they are hand-cook and protein prepared to order—whether its braised pork, grilled chicken, or fried tofu. We combine this all in a rich broth slowly simmered from pork or vegetable, mixing in green onion, mushrooms, and other veggies to add flavor and texture. In addition to crafting steaming bowls of ramen, we also whip up a variety of appetizers ranging from spicy edamame to beef skewers, shrimp tempura, and the all-time favorite, crab rangoons.Great happy hour also every Monday - Friday 5pm - 7pmThursday ladies night specials

    This place was so tasty for brunch! We started out with the fried green tomato appetizers and we could have just gotten those, we got pretty full. 4 large fried green tomatoes on top of a spicy sauce and goat cheese grits (the best!). I got a grain bowl with extra avocado which was so good and then we got a traditional breakfast but added loaded potatoes (bacon and sauce on top), I would highly recommend. I would come back to this place. Service was great and attentive and lots of options (even if you are a vegetarian).

    Overall wonderful experience for a party of 11. Zarletti had a table set up for us in our own private-ish space in the back of the restaurant. We had our own server who was very good and stayed on top of all of our multiple requests. The food was OUTSTANDING. We ordered appetizers for the table, individual entrees with soup or salad, and desserts to share, plus drinks and wine. As a big group we ordered some of everything and it was all was great. The Ossobuco was to die for, the fish dishes, veal, and chicken were amazing, and the pasta was fresh and sooooo flavorful. Most plates at the table were eaten completely clean. Larger groups are required to sign a contract and spend a minimum amount per person ... and we, even in our total joy of eating, we did not meet the required minimum ... however, we were able to have the amount up to the contracted minimum not spent put on a gift certificate for future use. Don't worry about the contract. One small note, we ordered champagne to have with our appetizers and to make a celebratory toast. The champagne was uncorked and let sit AND the glasses used to serve it were large wine glasses. It had lost most of its bubbles very quickly with the uncorking early and pour into the large glasses ... it was still delicious but just not as festive and fun. Champagne should be served in a way that preserves its bubbles. We will return, in smaller groups.
