Oishii Ramen — Restaurant in Louisville

Authentic Ramen in the LaGrange Area!

I had the pleasure of visiting the newly opened Japanese Ramen restaurant today. Located conveniently near my home, this place could quickly become my new favorite spot for a hearty bowl of ramen. But It's the restaurant's grand opening day, and I want to leave a good review.

Service: The service was exceptional. The staff was friendly and eager to explain the menu offerings. There was a little delay, but I understand it is their first day. Also, they could provide a cup of water.

Ambiance: The interior of the restaurant and the restrooms were clean. The simple interior was cozy. The glass window of the main door needs to be cleaned. It's perfect whether you're dining solo, with friends, or with family.

Food: The ramen I had today was Sukiyaki Ramen. As a meat lover, the meat in this ramen tasted like Korean bulgogi. I highly recommend this ramen, but the Shrimp Tempura Udon is not recommended. I've tried and reviewed a lot of Japanese restaurants in my life, but I've never found them worth the price. The tempura shrimp tasted like frozen food from the food depot and not homemade. The menu has four Udon noodles, but I won't even try the rest.

Price: Compared to other Asian Japanese restaurants based on flavor and quality, it is expensive. However, it's their first day, so I'm sure they'll improve.

Overall: The Udon was definitely not good, but the ramen was excellent. I will return at least once more to try their other ramen dishes. Hopefully, I will be more impressed on my next visit. I wish this local business...

The only good thing about this place is the decor. I had seen good reviews on Google and decided to try this new ramen place. I ordered the okonomiyaki since I love okonomiyaki and not many places offer it. When I got it i was completely disappointed as it was premade and deep fried. A good and traditional okonomiyaki is never deep fried and usually the cabbage to batter ratio is more cabbage than batter. This barely had any cabbage. I figured that the ramen at least might be better. Was I completely wrong!!! I ordered the Yamitsuki ramen. The broth was almost flavorless and all the vegetables that came in it were canned. I understand canned bamboo shoots but after being properly rinsed. The bean sprouts were also canned so it added a strange flavor to what should have been a savory broth. The mushrooms used were either the rehydrated or canned shiitake mushrooms that had been cooked in a very sweet teriyaki sauce, which again threw off the flavor of what was supposed to be a savory ramen. The chasu was actually pretty tender but also flavorless. This was the most horrible ramen that I have ever tasted so far. Overall, this was a completely horrible experience to the point that I could barely eat it and felt like it would have just been better to throw my money in the trash instead. I DO NOT recommend this place to anyone that is looking for...

My friend and I heard about this place opening and wanted to give it a try. It was busy when we arrived, but the wait was not long. There were some issues around ordering as their kiosk was malfunctioning. We ordered milk tea, fruit tea, gyoza, and Sukiyaki Ramen. The fruit tea was delicious. The milk tea was good, but the boba seemed a bit small. The gyoza had really good flavor. The ramen was lacking in umami flavor. There was no depth to the broth. We added some salt that helped . The spiciness of the ramen was perfect as it had flavor and spice without being overpowering. The noodles and beef were good. Some on the table would have been nice to aid with the flavor, and some veggies like bean sprouts would have been nice. This place did just open, so I would be surprised if they had to use a younger broth. All other issues are to be expected with a business that had just opened this week. Despite the establishment being busy, it was clean and orderly. The staff was very kind. The price points and portions were comprobable. I will definitely return as I want to try out their other ramen and plan on updating my rating once they have had some time to adjust...
