Alchemy Ramen — Restaurant in Lancaster

Very interesting concept! More than just a restaurant, this is a cooking experience for ramen lovers. Bit of a learning curve due to all the variety and the fact that you cook your own food to customize it to your specific tastes, but don't worry, the staff are friendly, patient, and helpful! You'll get more variety here than you would ever find at a typical ramen restaurant with pro chefs and whatnot, but also higher quality ingredients than you're likely to have making ramen at home. Don't worry about skill either. I don't think of myself as a particularly skilled chef, but I tried putting together a kimchi ramen with extra kimchi add ons, beef, shitake mushrooms, all topped off with some sweet chili sauce, and the results were great, honestly almost about as good as I've ever had at a typical ramen restaurant, with the added satisfaction of having picked out my ingredients and cooked it myself. For price, be prepared for about $10-$20, but due to the customizability, you can absolutely make a tasty dish for under $10, or go all out building something extravagant for over $20 if you feel like it. The atmosphere is very fun, with cute anime decor, a tv playing anime, Jpop music in the background, and cute little mini video game consoles you can play. There's enough variety in the menu that I feel like I could come dozens of times before I'd tried everything I wanted to, and at the same time, it feels like this is such a good idea that I can't imagine it won't explode in popularity eventually and grow even bigger over time. I'll definitely be...

This place is really awesome! I love that the menu is enormous to choose from for this, build your own experience. I had a really good time with the experience part of it- I went on a double date with my husband and friends and it was fun taking time mixing and cooking together and discussing all of the amazing ingredients. Another big bonus is that the assortment of options is so large that virtually any one can come and make something that they're going to Absolutely love love! The dining room it's definitely on theme, which just made the experience even better. I love that there's games around and I cannot wait to bring my son. The owner was so kind, explained everything easily, and even came out to check on us. The service was awesome! Honestly, there isn't anything that I think could have been done better or differently that would have topped it. The Lancaster restaurant scene just got even better, which I wasn't sure could happen! Oh also, the value is great! If you have a limited budget for your meal or lunch one night or day, definitely stop in &...
