“ Been meaning to come here but just don't get to this side of town often anymore. Passed by it today so I stopped in, right when they opened. Used to be a Burger King. Medium-sized inside, in a classic fast-food way. Pleasantly redecorated. Order at a kiosk or your table. Then a robot will appear at your elbow. Mine came twice, with my app and then my drink and entree. Says to tap its head when done, but that didn't work; there is an "okay" button on a screen on top. Its voice is very quiet; the place isn't loud, but I really had trouble hearing it. Not that it's saying much of import. Big menu of ramen, rice bowls, etc. I got the seaweed salad app because I like it, and it was big and fresh. However, if I'd read the description of my entree better I would have passed, because there was a good-sized pile of the salad in that. Oh, well. It's green so it's healthy, right? I got the eel bowl, again because I love it. Tender big chunks of eel, drizzled with sauce, on a lot of rice and with a ton of veggies. Very tasty. I had the brown sugar milk tea because why not? Big portion, again. Not overly sweet but very enjoyable. Splattered myself when I poked the straw in; is there a technique I need to learn? A little expensive, but what isn't nowadays? Very good quality, and plenty of food. I can see robots spreading the way kiosks have, to reduce labor costs. If a place isn't crowded I'm sure they work fine. ”

“ Positives: lots of toppings in the ramen, including veggies. Broth was flavorful but not too salty. Boba and pork buns were tasty. Food came quickly and the robot was cute! Parking was easy, decor was cute, and music was not too loud. Negatives: the hubby thought noodles were a little soft and the tonkotsu broth could use more flavor (though I ironically appreciated that it wasn't too salty like a lot of tonkotsu broths I've had). No service from humans if you care about things like having someone to refill your water. Overall impression: would definitely go back for a quick bite when I'm in the area! Would also be a nice place to eat with friends. ”

“ Do not let the outside of this restaurant fool you! I did, and I've lived down the street from this place for 2 years and never stepped inside. It took a snowstorm and us desperately wanting to leave the house to get dinner on a 0 temp night for us to give in and try Hiro Ramen - I'm so stoked we did! You order at the table to dine in and a cute robot delivers your food, or order on the kiosk for quick takeout. The portions are decent, and the food is so flavorful. The curry chicken ramen is a standout - perfect amount of curry. The broth is to die for. Food is reasonably priced and a great quick service option while running around town. We've been 3 times in 3 weeks if that's saying anything. ”

“ The food was delicious, the portions were big, it was a little pricey but overall it is the perfect meal for winter . ”

“ Self service sit down ramen place with the option for take out. You scan a QR code and can order directly to your table. There are little robots that bring your order to you. The chicken curry ramen, which had a coconut milk based broth, had good flavor. The caramelized onions added a good touch to the dish. The highest spice level ramen was not spicy enough. The ambiance was cute with a wall of bamboo shoots and is casual for a catch up with a friend. ”

“ Drove really out of my way for this one after seeing it on TikTok/IG ads. Well worth the hype! My friend ordered the Chicken Udon noodles which were of pristine thickness and tasted just as good as they looked online (and in-person!). My ramen as dense with flavor - and felt very on-par with some of the best ramen spots I've tried in Columbus to date. Chicken was fall-apart tender and the other various ingredients added not only a nice visual flare, but a unique taste profile as well between the marinated bamboo shoots, ajitsuke egg, and mushroom/corn. Special shoutout to our wonderful (ROBOT) waiter who was incredibly friendly and patient with us ;) no but really, what a nice modern touch! So freaking cool. ”

“ Highlights *Robot server, pretty unique *Great experience with the Party Room *Food prices seemed high *Good ambiance considering the building's former life as a fast food joint This has got to be the coolest former-Burger-King-turned-ramen-shop in Western Ohio! I'm being facetious but seriously, the food quality was better than expected and I was impressed they had takoyaki (fried octopus dough). The downside is the price was higher than I was expecting. The prices were on with what I am used to in the Bay Area (where groceries and food tend to be higher than the Midwest). There is a party room which we were able to reserve. One of the staff helped coordinate the party and ensure we understood how to order (QR code) and to retrieve our food from the robot (yes, robot). Ordering Even with a large party, it is possible to order separately and pay separately. The food arrived on the robot and whoever is at the end needs to read the order number and might have to then pass the food down (kind of reducing the point of a robot server). Ambiance They had bamboo covers over all the outer windows and coupled with the plants, it had a cool vibe. It was tough to not see the architecture of the former Burger King or Wendy's but if you're young enough, you wouldn't know the former layout. ”

“ I visited for dinner the first time on Friday evening, 29 December 2023. FOOD (4/5) -- I ordered the Spicy Tan Tan Ramen ($15) with shrimp and a side of edamame ($5). I also tried my brother-in-law's pork bun. Everything tasted delicious and fresh. The spicy tan tan ramen had a soft boiled egg in it, corn, green onions, and a few other vegetables. If you like ramen noodles and a spicy soup then you'll love the spicy tan tan ramen but I don't remember it being that spicy. The side of edamame was a a great appetiser - salty and crunchy. The pork bun was a typical bun but still good SERVICE (3/5) -- We arrived at 7:40pm and my guests and I seated ourselves inside the restaurant since no one seated us (it's open seating, I assume). I don't remember anyone greeting us as we entered. After ordering, a robot machine delivered our food to the table which was so cool. A waiter never came to our table at all because this is a self service restaurant. Infact, we had to scan a QR code on the table where we were seated to review the menu and I didn't notice any physical menus. Overall, if I'm ever visiting this area of Columbus again, I'll love to stop by to try a different menu item. If you enjoy fast casual asian food then this is your spot. **** GOAL of 150 reviews in 2024 - 11/150 total reviews in 2024 - 661 total overall Yelp reviews - Reviewed on 15 March 2024 ”
