Reviews of Artisan Ramen
sandra
This is all around 5 stars, the food, the service, price, and the atmosphere itself is great. It is a little on the smaller size so it's best to make a reservation to get a table faster. It's worth it, the food is GREAT and the prices are not bad at all, pretty low in my opinion for the quality that your getting. Will definitely be going back, and I recommend it to everyone. Our server was amazing as well.
Nickolas Lee
Artisan Ramen was a fantastic experience from start to finish. The ambiance is modern and eclectic with an Asian and pop culture feel. The menu had Ramen of course, but also some noodle dishes, sushi, sushi burrito, poké, and a full gamut of appetizers. Lots of drinks to choose from also. The food was all amazing and I can't wait to go back. Artisan was a fantastic experience that I would highly recommend, don't skip this place!
Dr. Anntoinettemarie Williams
The food here is makes you feel satisfied. It's flavorful with all the veggies you need. I had the Japanese curry it hit the spot. The white tiger as a drink quenched my thrist. The mixologist had great customer service. The atmosphere had an Asian flare. Great job. There is indoor and outdoor seating.
Marni King
Bailey is who served us and she is amazing!!! So friendly, great recommendations, great explanations of ingredients. The Birria Ramen and the Chicken Ramen were great! Fried ice cream and the traditional Japanese Fish shaped desert were delicious! Drinks were also great! Appetizers were the muscles, edemame and pork dumplings 🥟 ❤️ We shall be back!!!

Ventured here for lunch today, and WOW!
Not what I was expecting! Interior is very comfy, and the decor is very chic and fun.
Plenty of seating and even during lunch, the staff moved quickly, were helpful with the menu, and very friendly.
Everything looked very clean and well kept.
The food…. Was amazing. I had the ramen, where I picked the protein (meat), type of base I wanted in the broth, and noodles. It was simply amazing and reasonably priced. Will come again!!!
Mikai Wolff
We reserved a table ahead of time since it was a Saturday. Good food, but pretty pricey even for the quality of the food. My friend paid $6.50 for 4 miniature crab rangoons. The ramen was good but not good enough to justify how much we spent. Great atmosphere, though. Lord of the rings, avatar, full metal alchemist, and sailor moon were playing on different screens throughout the restaurant, which was pretty cool. I'd like to try the bar sometime, too.
Dr. Shontina Gladney (Eat.Play.Grind.)
Amazing Ramen and excellent service!! I just did not care for them not honoring the Happy Hour special. Informed the waitress and she said Tuesday and Thursday only. Also, if dining in, please note there is an 18% mandatory gratuity.
Lee Loo
This place is accessibility wise very accessible , just along the road. Quite spacious inside . Too colorful, loud designs . Not for the minimalists type .
The place is packed with people and I see numerous takeouts .
Food are ok.
Ordered :
Pork Gyoza 🥟 8/10- taste is ok , oily.
Beef Ramen 🍜 7/10- taste just ok too , nothing remarkable. Soup when served not too hot to scald your tongue 👅. Just enough , so make sure to eat quick or u are eating a cold ramen 🤣
Bokchoy a bit overcooked for me . I preferred my bokchoy a lil raw not overcooked. Fresh. I forgot to say to add a bit of spice . So I was served a plain taste of beef broth . So next time ask for a little kick .
The server is very accommodating , pleasant & Friendly , appreciate it.
Oops! Mandatory 18% gratuity is already part in the bill . Just an FYI.
Marisa Vento
My favorite ramen place in Milwaukee! The Build-Your-Own ramen option is perfect for me. The ramen ingredients are always fresh and the ramen is always so good. Besides the ramen, I highly recommend the kaarage. The crab rangoon and gyudon bowl were delicious as well. The inside is nicely decorated with a Japanese pop-culture theme. The staff are always excellent as well.
Anthony Preman
We tried Artisan Ramen after friends had raved about it. And to be honest, it was probably the best ramen that I've had. The selection was amazing and the service was stellar. Our sever Erin was simply impeccable and well versed on the menu. Her knowledge of the menu items were from her experience and she easily guided us. I hope the owners realize the value that Erin has and what she brings to their business.
David Bucy
Excellent food first time ever going to a ramen restaurant and I am not disappointed. Very tasty I had the kimchi but we also got the chicken and beef for my kids and wife
elissbliss
Delicious experience! Our waitress Bailey was very attentive, sweet and helpful. I am always happy when there is vegan and gluten free options. Thank you!
Kimberly Larson
This was such an amazing experience! The food was top notch and the Mochi was divine! I was a little nervous to try the egg, but it was my favorite part at the end. It was so creamy and tasty. The atmosphere was fun, with only one TV playing sports, the rest where playing wither Anime or a Godzila movie. My husband and I had a lot of fun and would love to go back and try their stir-fry next.
Kelsey Murzyn
I've been here multiple times and never had a bad dish! The ingredients always taste fresh and the staff is friendly.
The sunrise cauliflower is definitely a favorite appetizer.
Emma Zick
The most comforting and delicious ramen I’ve experienced! The music, the food, the ambiance in general was pure perfection. I’m going to be having cravings for this place!! The service was wonderful!
D J
Awesome, awesome, awesome. Best crab rangoons ever. Incredible ramen. Perfect poke. Trust Ryland. 100’s of Beavers can’t be wrong, just ask. From Manitowish Waters to Little Tokyo, i’ll be back.
kendall cline
Amazing atmosphere!! Very chill, amazing curry ramen. Best pork buns I’ve ever had!
Erin was my waitress she was so sweet and very helpful🥢🤩 …
Michael Hinkens
Great service for great food. Our server Bailey was super helpful with our questions about vegan options as well as attentive to our overall experience. The vegan sunset was citrusy, light, and delicious and the beef ramen featured some amazing and sweet meat and mushrooms. Would return!
Heather Hogan
Great experience if you're looking for somewhere special to eat. Plenty to look at while waiting for your food, with anime playing on 3 screens and lots of cool collectibles and pictures around. Loved the non-gendered bathroom signs. Feels very welcoming all around and great choices for ramen, appetizers, sushi and dessert! We especially loved the takoyaki.
A Stevenson
We had a party of 8 and we all got our food so quickly. It was super fresh and flavorful, eggs cooked perfectly! We all got ramen bowls,devilish eggs,michi,tempura shrimp,sushi and mixed drinks.New favorite place and everyone was so sweet.love the decor too
Batman Fitness and Strength
Has the best ramen I've ever had here! Super flavorful and filling.
Had the spicy edamame as an app and the vanilla mochi for dessert. Everything was delicious.
Atmosphere is great.
Prices are really good for the quantity of food as well.
Overall, definitely recommend artisan Ramen!
Abhi Singh
One of the best ramen places in Milwaukee, bar none. The first thing you see when walking in is the giant Godzilla tapestry-like poster. We were sat very quickly and able to order quickly as well. We had a bottle of the lychee sake (dangerously sippable) and each had a bowl of ramen. I had a make your own and the toppings are amazing. The spice level leaves a little to be desired, so if you like spicy ramen for the cold Milwaukee weather, order higher than you usually do.
Jackie Guenette
Very tasty Kimchi Ramen! I would have liked a little more kimchi but it was delicious, especially while having a cold! Will be returning again soon for more! 😋 …
Joshua Dohrmann
Artisan Ramen is a must go to restaurant in Milwaukee. They have the best ramen noodles and sushi that they can offer! I order a Shoyu Ramen with a black garlic flavor with some Chashu slices and egg. The soups are 'mmm!' so great that you could go back there again. I give it all stars for their service! Their decor is really awesome with portraits of star wars!
Ben Hartman
Artisan Ramen is a great place to go to enjoy all sorts of Japanese cuisine. Ramen, noodle bowls, and sushi. I had the spicy salmon roll, and it was fantastic. They prepare seafood fresh every day. The atmosphere here is unmatched, with unique, interesting decorations alongside 3 screens playing different anime shows. The bar at Artisan Ramen serves incredible sake. I had the hot caramel sake (seasonal).
Reema Azar
The service was good. Our server accidentally got one of our orders wrong but was quick to make it right and took that order off our check. Still, the food was really pricey, and the tuna rolls were way too spicy.
Michael W
UPDATE #2: This is STILL my favorite restaurant in all of Milwaukee. I still get my same exact dish that I recommended 3 years ago on this review. They survived past COVID shutdowns and came out the other side not just surviving, but somehow the ramen tastes even better. If you haven't tried Aritsan yet, you're missing out. Updated with a new pic of my latest ramen.
UPDATE: Started coming here about a year ago as it's right down the road from my work and something a little more unique to eat. Now, my coworkers and I have made it a habit to come every Monday! The food is just hands-down delicious. There's a reason we keep coming back here, and it's just consistently amazing service and top-notch food.
They've recently added poke and sushi to the menu and the owner was nice enough to let me test out the sushi. I included a picture of the nigiri sampler that I tried. I'm not usually a fan of nigiri or sashimi but man, I haven't tasted any sushi like this since I went to Seattle.
If you're coming to Milwaukee and want to try something fun and unique, this would 100% be my first recommendation.
If you're looking to try the ramen, my recommended dish is:
Tonkatsu with Shio base, classic noodles, and a japanese spice level of 2 with extra shitake mushrooms (careful, I like spicy but even a spice level of 2 out of 3 gets my nose running)!
Kat McCullum
We loved it here! Was recommended to us by a coworker and we couldn’t have been more pleased. An energetic vibe, great teas and cocktails, and the ramen was divine. The gyoza were amazing as well!
Sity Choi
I wished this placed closed later on a Saturday night. They had this cauliflower that looked like it was bang bang shrimp and it was amazing. I built my own ramen, which seemed overwhelming and confused but I think I did a good job. They need to have more prebuilt ramens on their menu to make it easier. Also, that matcha lemonade was pretty tasty!
Jessica May
I work nearby, so I eat lunch at Artisan Ramen at least 1-2 times a month, and sometimes grab take-out for dinner on the way home. I have liked every dish I’ve had there, but most love the make your own ramen with pork and the beef rice bowl. I’m not a big tea drinker, but their peach blossom and raspberry green teas are delicious. On top of great food, I love the atmosphere there (Japanese artwork mixed in with Star Wars posters, anime or Japanese/Korean music videos playing on the TVs, etc.).
It is a smaller restaurant and has limited lunch and dinner hours, so make sure to double-check their hours before you go, and either go early or make reservations.
Lily Babler
The ramen was AMAZING. Loved the spicy noodles. Our server Bailey was very attentive and knowledgeable about the menu and super friendly! Will definitely return to this place next time I am in Milwaukee.
Adrienne Hartman
Excellent meal, with very friendly and extremely fast service. The caramel hot sake was delicious. There were plenty of options for meat eaters and for the vegan in the group. Will visit here again!
Haylee J
Artisan crab ragoon & spicy edamames were to die for!! I cant wait to come back for more!!! Great bar staff
Jake Fuller
The service and food were excellent. Our server Bailey was very friendly and provided amazing service. The atmosphere and Halloween decor is fun and calming, and they have the best ramen I've had in the area. Black Garlic enhances the ramen experience for me and I've not had it offered before elsewhere. Plus Takoyaki being on the menu is always a plus for me for any Ramen or Sushi place.
Paul Snyder
A new (to me) favorite. What a gem of a place. A perfect hat trick great food, great service and great atmosphere. Vegan and vegetarian options available. We had the Sunset Cauliflower (lightly breaded and fried then tossed in a delicious sauce) and Momofoku (pork belly in lotus bun with cabbage and cucumber) appetizers. For entrees we had Barria (beef) Ramen and Creamy Chicken Ramen. Everything was made fresh and with the finest ingredients and was flavorful and delicious. For desert we had Mochi ice cream. It's different and I wasn't sure about it at first but it won me over. I would highly recommend Artisan Ramen to people I care about. I look forward to going back frequently. Our server Tess was fantastic and eager to answer questions and make helpful suggestions. Tess and the bartender worked together harmoniously and were a refreshing joy to be taken care of by. I don't remember the last time I went out to eat and left the restaurant as happy as I did on this night. Completely satisfied.
Sarah Misicka
My 11 year old wanted real ramen for his birthday. We drove 45 minutes and got there and was super confused since we aren’t from the city. While in the car still I called and the bartender who answered the phone as so kind and helpful.
When we walked in we were warmly greeted and immediately shown a table. We ordered the deviled eggs and the tuna poke as appetizers. Both were incredible! Then we ordered our ramen. Both of my boys love spicy and they orders theirs at a level 2 with the spicy noodles. It was hot. They ate it but said it wasn’t as enjoyable as they hoped. (Totally on them for ordering it like that.) I ordered spice level 1 of the beef ramen and it was absolute perfection. We sat near the kitchen and saw most of the items coming out of the kitchen. All of it looked so good. We can’t wait to go back and try the rest of the menu.
Alan Williams
What a terrific “find”! Had the craving for good ramen and came here on the recommendation of a friend. GLAD WE DID! Everything tasted so good and excellent portions for the price. Lots of wonderful options. We’ll be bringing friends back!
Jazmin Folker
Amazing experience- our group ordered the curry chicken, birria, and one custom pork ramen. All were great, but the birria was the fan favorite! The strawberry and sesame mochi were also very delicious. Big thanks to our server, Bailey, for being so accommodating and helpful with our first visit here. Highly recommend and am looking forward to coming back.
michael emerson
Absolutely amazing experience! Great food while watching Star Wars, Naruto and the Brewers. Very fun atmosphere, great customer service! Thanks to Bailey for making our anniversary special!
Lacey Kaufman
This place is a gem! The decor is super cool, atmosphere is cozy but not crowded. All of our food was delicious. We're ramen aficionados and while I was sad they didn't have tankatsu broth (my very favorite), the shoyu was very tasty. Their homemade noodles were very enjoyable. Our server, Zoey, was a delight. Would definitely recommend to friends and family!
katherine owen
I love this restaurant!! The gyoza is absolutely to die for and my server Bailey made the whole dining experience seamless and enjoyable with the amazing service! Definitely will go back and the atmosphere is great for any occasion!
Jessica Martinez
If you are looking for some very good authentic ramen this place is for you! Everything on the menu is so good I mean EVERYTHING! It can’t get any better than this. They have such a great atmosphere and the staff is super nice. The drinks are also great and the pork ramen is the best. 10/10 this is always my go to for some good authentic ramen!!
Erik Rowley
The broth was rich and smooth with a good mouth feel. The pork is slow cooked then given a light sear making it tender and flavorful. Multiple levels of spice to choose from. The restaurant itself is a cool urban setting and the manager Zoë is super helpful! Highly recommend!
Gabriel Illovsky
Really great apps and sake. The ramen selection is a touch limited in terms of broth though, but what they have is great! The style of noodle isn't really what I had in mind; straight with no flavor or chew at all. Also my egg was a hair overcooked. :(
First time there, excited to go back though!
Staff was extremely friendly!
Zoé Ketola
Pleasant atmosphere, good food, and our server, Bailey, was kind and attentive.
Jenniree Aguilar
This place is definitely the best ramen place in Milwaukee! Everything is so fresh, you can taste s variety of flavors in your mouth when you take a bite of the noodles or a sip of the broth itself. The service is good. It seems to be like a very popular spot because you can always hear the DoorDash app go off for new orders as people walk in. The music is always good as well, nothing better than eating with your favorite jam on.
The bathroom are spot clean and smell good as well.
I definitely recommend this place to anyone who has never had ramen before, or even if you have but haven't tried this place yet.
Vaughan Nelson-Lee
Popcorn chicken and edamame are restorative, so is the 🔥 broth and noodles w perfect chew …
Leonardo L Lopez Rangel
Officially my new favorite Asian restaurant. The dishes were amazing! I had three appetizers and two entries (i know)
Cherie D
The squid ink noodles are so good and they also have vegetarian ramen! It’s definitely a great spot to grab some sake/bubble tea while enjoying your ramen.
I went to this restaurant three times and my third time, the food was great but the third time... the customer service was less than great. So I’m definitely weighing the majority due to the experiences previously!
We were receiving our bill and our waitress split the appetizers even though we had asked for separate bills. I asked her very politely if she could change it, she just picked the bills up and walked away with a scowl on her face. I get that it might be busy, but I also work in Customer Service and I treated her with a ton of respect and got 0 back after the bill question.
Otherwise- every experience has been great!
Loc V
I honestly didn't expect to find such a quality ramen place in Milwaukee. I did the build your own ramen option:
1. Seafood protein+$3
2. Shio broth (sea salt)
3. Squid ink noodles +$2
4. Spice level 3 and black garlic oil
They gave a surplus of scallops and shrimp. Definitely worth it. This combination turned out great and would recommend to anyone.
Rachel Chapin
Not too salty, good size. Nice and hot. Eggs not overcooked. Very nice. Noodles kind of hard to eat without a fork but it's a thing I just have to learn :).
Raveena Gupta
The food was excellent! We ordered a mix of vegetarian and non vegetarian dishes! And it was great!
Jamie Beyer
First time here - our Waitress Erin was great! Food was amazing (pictured below is the Salmon Poke bowl) and SO FLAVORFUL! Will definitely be coming back!
Ashante Hamilton
I told them my Birthday is May 22nd and the brought me a cake! Their awesome! And the server was outstanding!
Liana Januss
The build your own ramen was absolutely perfect- the flavor, ingredients, and presentation was outstanding. We also enjoyed the spicy edamame, Raspberry Bliss, and Jade cloud green tea. Zoe was our waitress and was on point with our service. 🍜👏 …
Leo Palevac
What an incredible business. Their taste in art, staff and most particularly of all, their food is incredibly tasty. Every portion of my ramen dish was made with care and excellence. The house sake was outstanding served hot. The restroom was terribly clean. Prices were $13-23 per person, I had black garlic added which tasted so damn good. You owe it to yourself to patronize Artisan Ramen and soon. Bring and tell your friends. Businesses such as this deserve to thrive.
Mason Lugo
Food was on. Tried getting this as spicy as possible and it had no kick. So that’s just my preference but it was a good place to try
Dan Dungan
I have worked my way around the casual Milwaukee restaurant scene 2x a week for almost a year now. I find myself repeatedly coming back to Artisan Ramen for a bowl of their goodness.
Julia Zhao
Had a great dinner at Artisan Ramen! I got the pork tonkotsu with level three spice (pretty spicy but manageable). My friend got the tofu ramen with rice noodles. The make-your-own ramen is pretty cool. Our server Erin was great!
J V
We shared three appetizers and the curry ramen. Everything was delicious but the cauliflower was amazing! Bailey was extremely friendly and helpful with the menu.
Tony Gutierrez
The atmosphere was great, the Mochi was delicious and our server Bailey was just the best, very sweet! Highly recommend making a reservation since they often get busy on the weekends.
Joshua Noble
I hope this properly expresses my appreciation for the food here. I ordered the udon stir fry, and with half of my (very generous) portion still left, I ordered a second dish of the same thing to go. My only regret is that I was only in town for the weekend and that I can't come back sooner.
Laem Xayvong
Delicious ramen with great flavor and the spicy noodles had a good kick! Also had the deviled eggs. Zoe was pretty cool and provided awesome service! Will be back again!
Chloe O
Ramen: had a nice bite and bounce to it. Very good sturdy texture
Broth: I had tonkatsu shoyu and it was flavorful and not too salty. Def had more dense broths before but this was tasty
The veggies and add one were delicious. Thr mushroom was marinated and it was delicious. The soft boiled eggs were on point! Excellent. The seafood was decent size shrimp and scallops actually which is usually not a standard so good for them! Got Japanese +2 spicy and it was a nice kick, not too much.
Atmosphere: a nice casual date maybe, definitely friends and family, had anime and loop videos on tv and cute kawaii decorations and balloons. Very contemporary but would be kid appropriate. Bright, not very loud.
Daniela Perez
My partner and I stopped by for dinner, and I think this place exceeded every expectation we may have had to begin with. Our server, Tess, was awesome and gave great recommendations (crab ragoon, blueberry boba tea, and since it was my first time and more traditional, a MYO tonkotsu). The portions were generous, and the food was fantastic. Definitely a fan of the curry broth, too. We have so many things on the menu we want to try. Highly recommend!
Tianyao Ding
Nice ramen but not cheap. The environment and the funishing is excellent but the air conditioner is a little bit cold. There are a 18% tips if you dine in. The gyoza is not good and the porkbun's sause is kind of wired tasting. I perfer to focus on ramen and don't recommend their appitizers.
Wes R
Really good food, nice ambiance and music, if you're into that. Old school Sinatra and Aretha with a Studio Gibli (sp?) movie projected onto the wall. Bailey was attentive and anticipated needs. Had the Beef Rice Bowl and the hubs had build your own Ramen. Pork Bao buns were also good. Could not stop munching on the seasoned edamame.
Zach
Food was good albeit a bit pricey. Atmosphere was nice. Service was good.
Be aware they automatically add 18% gratuity to the bill.
Yiyi G
Started going for ramen before it officially opened. Constant improvement. Love the food. The owner is really friendly and always chat with old customers. Only wish they bring back the tofu appetizer before the grand opening!!
Trevor Fassbinder
Good food! Appetizers are awesome. The curry ramen broth is amazing! The beef ramen was so so for some odd reason. Would definitely go again
morgan mitchell
First time eating real ramen. So good. Soft boiled egg is a revelation. Sunset tempura cauliflower is amazing.
Mike Bohlmann
We went to Artisan for lunch on a weekday. There was no wait to sit down. I ordered the ramen with pork and a little bit of spice. They were out of Coke, root beer, and sweet potato fries which I thought was a little odd. The meal was good, but not something that I'm fond of. I thought it was a little overpriced for what you received.
Brittney McKenzie
The ramen tastes really good at first, but once I got towards the end it wasn't as tasty. I also do not like that the prices have gone up. It used to be .50 cents for an extra egg, $12 for the ramen... Etc. Little prices went up, which it already is pretty expensive for noodles. I also feel like it doesn't taste as good as it was before they started adding new options. Overall, decent quality ramen with friendly and professional staff. They could display more anime on the screens also!
Max Dinan
I had the pork shoyu with spicy noodles and black garlic. Simply spectacular. Great flavors, excellent portion size. Eggs were harder boiled than I'm used to, yolks were actually firm, but I didn't mind. Tokyo Drift cocktail was tasty, the pork gyōza were crispy and the wrapper wasn't too thick or gummy, and the matcha cheesecake was excellent. Service was attentive, speedy, and friendly. Definitely a place I'll come back to when I'm in the Milwaukee area and craving ramen.
Sierra Symone
It's been awhile that I went back to artisan ramen. The reason why is because the guy manager was completely unprofessional and rude for not taking care of the situation. However today there was a young woman who was in charge and she was very kind and friendly. She offered me and my friend a sample of a new brunch that'll be on the menu soon and it was delicious. Even my kids enjoyed it as well. (Mostly the ramen 😊). I truly want to thank her for making us comfortable again and being the nicest person. Hopefully when we visit again it's be with her as the manager.
Zoee Felson
The food was great and the service was amazing. Izzy was our server and he was so fun, kind and helpful. I definitely recommend.
Minimallyfunctioning Eggdad
Good food, would come back again!
Breanna Franks
Got the Beef Bowl and it was amazing! Tangy and savory. Highly recommend and the hibiscus cocktail! Mochi is a must try too!
Elizabeth Kringer
Walked in the middle of the first snowfall this year just to get this lovely ramen and tea. It was perfect! And staff was very welcoming.
Rosy Hookstead
Amazing experience and our waitress, Erin, was so nice and pretty. The ramen was full of flavor and goodness ♥️
Aleksandr Abel
Hands-down the best ramen I've ever had.
Personal favorite: pork with spice level 1.
Elissa Berg
Erin was so amazing, very knowledgeable and kind! Food and drink was absolutely amazing, the whole atmosphere was fun and perfect for date night!
Phillip Simpson
Great Ramen! This was a wonderful experience. The service was great rhe food was wonderful! We like heat and this one had it! Great import beer list as well!
Brandon Blankenship
I got the seafood which was a little over cooked, but ultimately everything tasted great. To top it off my server was very nice. Highly recommend this place.
Cassidy Bauer
Nice comfy big ol’ bowls of ramen!!!
Wish Born
This place is awesome. Best udon I have ever had with an enormous sized bowl. Plus, they had One Piece playing on one of the tvs. Will definitely be coming back again and again.
Enrique Chambers
Amazing food and amazing service!!
It was my gf's birthday and they gave us free desert!!!
Zoe helped us and walked us through the menu like a pro!
Loved the experience from start to finish!
Sara Crouch
Went for lunch. Good service and tasty ramen. They were out of a few menu items but luckily it didn't affect our orders
Jonathan Baranick
The food was so incredibly delicious! Their Covid-19 safety precautions were the best I’ve seen! Top notch service, will frequent this place!
Terrell Harper
Dude...the ramen is great. They give u this huge bowl filled with a number of different toppings. Ive been there 3 times and its been great everytime. I highly recommend!!
TheAdjusting
I have to say I am impressed. As a chef Artisan Ramen represents something that many restaurants in Wisconsin do not. Serving fresh products outstanding. Every in person time has been a wonderful experience as well as ordering through uber your food still delicious. I only wish that for $7 your popcorn chicken would have a bigger portion. Keep up the great work.
Ryan “PokeTrainer” Martin
Phenomenal experience, tasty food, wonderful service by the waitress Bailey! Definitely will come again on next visit to MKE!!!
Laura Krick
Great experience every time! Talented waitress that waited on us and knew her menu and got us excited about menu changes! Will come back again! Curry is close to Japanese curry in Japan!
mikaili hunter
Artisan ramen is a place surely a place for friends and family to get together and go down on some good ramen. As any normal person might be skeptical such as " is it good enough or is it real ?" To answer that question yes I've been here two times and it was amazing. Each time I came here they did not disappoint. When you walk in they are kind enough to greet you with a warm personality and wait your table with hospitality. The people here are ever so welcoming, so welcoming to the point we had a conversation with our waiter he was actually pretty funny ! What I love most about this place is the build your own ramen selection. It gets confusing making choices on if you want this spicy or should you add more eggs. In all honesty experiment with the menu ( I'm the type of guy to like one thing and one thing only but go nuts on the menu trust me you'll love it). Overall the experience was one not to forget so please come down the shop and eat some of their ramen . Bye uwu.
MKE ULTRA
Absolutely delicious ramen. I had the beef ramen which was wonderful and had some of the tastiest mushrooms I've ever ate. If you're a spice lover don't be afraid to ask for the maximum spiciness. Be sure to try their "devilish eggs." Friendly and helpful staff.
mia Henderson
Amazing!!! Amazing service with Zoe and food was to DIE for. Will definitely be making this a regular stop, my only regret was not being able to try everything on the menu
Dezi Dumale
This Ramen restaurant was AMAZING. I wish we lived closer so we could come back and try more of the menu. Our waitress was also great. If I could give a 10/5 stars I would!
Azucena Reyes
First time coming here, and definitely coming back on a regular basis! Our server Bailey was amazing. She helped us decide what we ate and drank, and we all LOVED what we got. Amazing atmosphere, super cool artwork everywhere. 10/10 recommend ❤️❤️❤️
Bri Cole
This place was delicious would definitely come here again the ambiance was gorgeous as well. For appetizers I ordered the veggie gyoza which was delicious on its own but even more incredible with the signature soy sauce blend. For drinks I ordered their mango ramune and herbal hot lemon turmeric tea which were both delicious. For entrées I ordered a kimchi ramen without tofu but the kimchi was salty and sour instead of spicy *just a personal preference*. I also ordered a create your own ramen with chicken, veggie base, and noodles with was really good. As stated amazing restaurant would definitely come here again!
Brandon Martin
Best Crab Ragoons in Wisconsin!!! Pork bun is solid as well.
Ben Carson
We came into town for the weekend and stopped at Artisan Ramen. Bailey was awesome!!
Danielle Sausaman
It was wonderful! We love the atmosphere and the great food. Definitely recommend!!
Galen Quinsey
Name says it all. This place has really good ramen made with really good ingredients. The decor is nice as well. The first time I walked in here it had Naruto on one TV and the Brewers on another. If I could change over thing at this place it would be to have them offer half portions.
Stephanie Smith
Our server Bailey was fantastic! She recommended her favorite entree which was really delicious. The food here is always amazing. Highly recommend eating here.
Bethany K
Awesome food and great service! Will be retuning.

Delicious. I got the chicken, miso, level one spice - very tasty. Good service, place wasn't very busy despite it being a Friday night.
Bri Clerkin
My always go to when I’m craving spicy ramen (which is more than I like to admit)! I’ve always ordered pick up/to go but the inside is a cool vibe and everyone is friendly. I love the craft your own ramen and that they offer spicy noodles!! I’m a big spicy girl so I love that they actually know how to spice up the ramen. It’s the best I’ve had. I also love the sushi, the spicy tuna is so good. Big fan of the gyoza and crab Rangoon. You guys are amazing!!! Highly recommend.
Ben A
Delicious!
We came into Artisan Ramen right before a rainstorm and the decor was super comforting and cool! I loved the focus on Japanese culture. Cynthia was out waitress and she was fantastic, super friendly and accommodating. The food was great too, i particularly loved the edamame and the salmon skin sushi! Sprint to this restaurant as quickly as you can.
Celia Brown
We got the curry Ramon and it was very flavorful. Price was good as well as the quality of the food. Definitely plan on going back and trying another kind.
Rob S
Damn good Ramen fresh noodles made in house daily, the broth is savory but not too rich, the pork belly was perfect melt in your mouth, and the poached egg was perfect jiggly with the yolk still runny, The Goyza was fresh dough made in house it was super yummy being so fresh
Nick Farmer
I've never been to a ramen restaurant so this was my first time here. I was surely not disappointed! The pork ramen was amazing and the mochi dessert fantastic. The staff lovely and the location and environment perfect. It was sad to see the place almost empty when it's worth the visit!
Jax
bailey was amazing! super friendly and constantly made sure we were happy and comfortable! if you do come here, highly recommended any kind of the ramen (especially beef!) everything was good and tasty. will come here a lot more.
Mike Mallon
Some of the best ramen I've had in a while! Very friendly and fast service. Even my kids said it was fantastic, and it's hard to get them to eat anything!
nick weigel
The food was really good and the staff were really chill even though it was busy and it was just the two of them. They also encourage a relaxed experience and quiet atmosphere where you can actually converse without having to hear kids screaming. (Thank you to the waitress that kindly asked a table to quiet down after their kid sat there yelling for 20 minutes after we entered god knows how long before).
David Moore
Definitely recommend the ramen, the best in MKE! Also this fantastic lychee and red bean pancakes dessert is so delicious. Our server Izzy killed it!
Robert
What an amazing place! Had the cauliflower and dumpling appetizers, kimchi Ramen and dessert - all of them were wonderful! And great and fun service from Zoe!!!! This is my new favorite downtown place! Can’t wait to try more.
Gina Lawton
The food was fantastic! We ordered shrimp tempura roll, spicy tuna roll, and miso ramen with pork. Oh. My. Gosh. It was seriously the best. We both ate until we were ready to bust. Bonus was that it was ladies' night so we got a great deal on a bottle of wine. Our server was Tracy and she was seriously the best. Helped us navigate the menu and checked in on us often. Great dining experience. We will be back!
Daniel Lenz
Everything about Artisan Ramen is amazing! The decor is great and the ramen is even better. We have had Erin as a server twice and she has been fantastic both times. Highly recommend this spot!
Rachel Pappenfuss
Delicious ramen in a super fun and eclectic place!
Fred San Juan (ChoSanJuan)
I think this revamp for my review is LONG overdue! (and my deepest apologies!) What a huge turnaround for their food! Staff is wonderful and with how many times I've been there on my own and with groups, it's always been a pleasure!
Jacob Lindsey
Food is amazing and vibe is wonderful. Great place for reallllly flavorful vegan ramen. The sushi and edamame were both very tasty and better than most. Zoe at the bar was a pleasure to talk to and we will definitely be back.
Alyx
We went here for my brother's 12th Birthday and literally all of the staff were so nice.
We had Erin as our server and couldn't be more pleased with our service and meals 😊
P.s. the Matcha Lemonade is actually surprisingly good
Richard Henning
Play so nice comfortable we got the umon noodles. That good flavor good texture they say that they hand make them or home make them everyday. And also the tempura shrimp not sure what kind of dipping sauce to have it is all good highly recommend will go back
Janaya Boyd
Wow! We are traveling from out of town and randomly stumbled upon this restaurant! Fresh food and customer service was amazing! Baileyyyyyyyy! Your energy and recommendations were amazing! This restaurant is a perfect date spot or Vibing with friends! We will return! Good luck on your journey Bailey! Thank you for the love Artisam Ramen 💕
Adrian Townsend
Had a great experience. Its not often I meet a waitress who have experience with kids with autism. She definitely made my son comfortable and calm them down
Chloe Schram
We have not been here since Covid. First experience was ok. Today we had Bailey as our server and she was delight. Ramen was amazing, I love spicy and my mouth was on fire. Very happy customer!
Yelena Velez
This place is absolutely amazing! One of the best ramen places I’ve been to. Desserts here are great as well. It can get a little crowded sometimes, but overall they have great service. I definitely recommend you come here :)
Carley Tuska
Food, drinks, and environment make for a delicious, fun dinner experience. The food is ready quick and very flavorful. Lots of vegan & vegetarian options too. Shout out to the staff & Zoe behind the bar for friendly & delightful service.
Juan H
Food was great and our waiter Zoe was very attentive.
Stephanie Scherer
We really enjoyed the ramen here. Both of us did the build your own bowl and got to order just how we like it. The spicy noodles are an interesting feature that I have not seen before. Since the spicy noodles and spicy broth were still not hot enough for me, the server kindly brought out more chilis for me to add to my ramen. It wasn't my favorite ramen ever, but it was delicious. We also order gyoza, which were very good. Overall, the dinner and service were fast and friendly.
Erik Ritter
Delicious food. Prompt and friendly service. Reminds me of places in Okinawa.
Sam Jozwiak
Fast "pick your favorite place to sit" seating and great service all around. The appetizers were tasty and portions were appropriate for 2. I had the build your own Ramen with pork, miso, and level 3 spices and enjoyed it very much. It was just the right amount of spicy for heat seekers to be satisfied while enjoying the other flavors in the dish. My guest enjoyed her meal as well. She had build your own Ramen as well, but opted for shoyu base and no heat. Instead she added black garlic to bring out the rich earthy flavors. 5/5, I will definitely be eating here again!
Andrew Specht (Trepidati0n)
Second time here and chose to go for my birthday dinner since my first time was so good. Brought friends with me and they all had a great time. Our sever was fun and extremely knowledgeable and full of ideas.
Jon Woida
Friendly staff and amazing ramen! One of my favorite places to hit on a cool rainy day. Love all of the Star Wars and Japanese decor!! So kawaii!
Natascha Marie
The kimchi ramen is fantastic. Will definitely order again. We got tempura veggies and spicy edamame too. The build you own option is a nice idea.
Amelia Brandolino
Zoe was super sweet! We had never tried it before! Such a cool vibe, they have Star Wars pictures all over and were playing Demon Slayer! Definitely coming back!!
Rachel Roundsin
So good!! My boyfriend and I came in Monday and we will be back again no doubt. The sunrise cauliflower was delish and you can even build a personal ramen It looked like the waitress was alone and it was busy but she did us great service even though it was pretty busy. We will be back again soon! Only thing is you can't order sushi for lunch only at night
Chynarose Degner
Amazing ramen stop! Came here once on a whim and now this is our go to ramen place. The atmosphere is also really fun and the servers are super nice, especially Bailey, she makes it a fun experience :)
A Filthy Casual
Best bowl of noodles I've ever had.
The noodles themselves are made in house, the soup base was delicious, and the meat was incredible and melts in your mouth. Besides being delicious food, the price points wouldn't be at all bad even for food that was half as good as this. Good portions for entrees as well; it might be $14 for a bowl for example, but that bowl easily feeds 2.
My order: (Build.Your.Own Ramen Bowl) Pork, Miso Base, Classic Noodles, Black Garlic, Scallions, Mushrooms [and you might as well add extra pork, you'll be happy you did]
John Contreras
I absolutely love the vibe at this restaurant! Lots of anime and pop culture references, and the ramen was beyond delicious! Highly recommend and I plan on returning!
9 month update: recently visited again, and they are still just as good as before! Got the udon stir fry, and goodness was it delicious! Can not emphasize enough how amazing Artisan Ramen is!
Denis Melamed
Had a wonderful experience here. Staff isbextra knowledgeable and friendly. LvL 3 spicy is for the weak 😋 …

Great lunch place. Quick and friendly service. Big bowl of ramen!
T M
Very good food and Zoe was an excellent and friendly server! Had a hard time deciding what to get and she gave great recommendations. Can't wait to go back to try their other items and to introduce other people to the place.
Elise Hallock
Had the shoyu tonkatsu ramen with house Japanese spice and black garlic. The good: the stock is lovely, the pork was beautifully cooked, the veg was really nice. The okay: the egg was perfectly cooked but not marinated, and the black garlic (I think) was off puttingly sweet.
Overall excellent and would repeat.
Tayler Jozwicki
Our server Bailey was an absolute delight! The atmosphere was very nice and comfortable. The ramen had an overall good flavor.
zhang Johnson
It’s great to be back since pandemic.
Thavixay Senthavy
Our server, Zoë was so informative and helpful from the start. She had a great bubbly personality! We tried the edamame and pork dumplings which was delicious!
Evan Jackson
Took a father son stop here for some ramen and had a blast. Great food, great people, and speedy service. Beailey was our waitress and she was super nice and helpful when it came to recommendations. Would recommend!
taylor a
Fantastic service. Our wonderful server Bailey was very attentive and helpful. That woman deserves a raise! The tonkotsu ramen is ~chef’s kiss~ and the drinks were great.
Kai Lenz
Always a joy to come here, the food is delicious 10 times out of 10, and my server Bailey was absolutely amazing. I've never had a better dining experience! I used to come here for the food, but now I'm coming back for Bailey.
Masha Emelyanova
Delicious ramen 🍜 it's even possible to share one ramen for 2 people and you'll get it in 2 different bowls, which is amazing
Ryanne Olson
Very tasty food! Very nice atmosphere! Erin was very prompt, attentive, and kind! We have been looking for a good ramen/curry place and this will now be our go to
Domino williams
Zoey was rad, She recommended the cauliflower appetizer and it was fire. Also the sake was great too
Nathaniel Hunter
The food was so good! I had the beef ramen and enjoyed it throughly. The beef was corned which I was suprized by but it was very good! They seemed short staffed and it took a while to get my food but that's wasn't the servers fault they had 4 tables come in as I sat down.
Cody Schnatz
Waitress and service was great. Loved the spicy noodles, do wish it was a little bit hotter. Do wish they would have said something about the automatic gratuity. I saw it after I already tipped. I don’t think it’s fair to essentially make a customer tip twice.
joshauh cadwell
This was the best ramen I've eaten in my life. I can't stop thinking about how good it was. I would have payed double. It seems pricey but there's a lot of work that goes into honing the flavors and making a beautiful dish. I will be back again for aure
Vanessa Stein
The food was very good when it came but we had a lot of bumps along the way. We had reservations for 5pm. The server took 45 mins before taking our dinner order, she just had gotten us drinks. She never told us what they were out of and what I chose I find out they were out of after waiting 45 mins. Then the second item after waiting 15 mins for her to come back was also sold out. Everyones food came except my dinner that was a third choice and came completely wrong when it showed up 5 mins later. She took it back and it was another 10 mins before I could eat with my friends. The food was very good once it finally came but we didn't leave until 745p because of how slow service was and how incorrect the check was.
Marilyn Besasie
Artisan Ramen Star Wars - Our New Year's Eve dinner was terrific! Great venue, fast, friendly waitstaff, delicious food all around. We weren't sure why there was so much Star Wars decoration on the walls, why Baby Groot in a Christmas sweater was on the bar, but no matter! It made our visit interesting and we loved watching the "live" stream of someone walking around Japan somewhere on the tv behind our table. We think it was Japan anyway, but it literally was someone walking up and down some streets, stopping to buy a drink from a vending machine, holding a camera out in front of them. Anyway, we ordered three appetizers and they all were delicious: Spicy Edamame, Vegetable Gyoza, and Agedashi Tofu - highly recommend them all. We were able to get vegan ramen here in a rich broth with just the right amount of spice and heat. We would all come here again and bring friends. I like a lot of ingredients in my ramen, so I wish they had more to choose from, but it was still very, very good. That's the only reason why I'm not giving it 5 stars Next time I'd like to try the Japanese Curry as I've never had one before. Oh, and one interesting fact our waitress told us when we ordered saki. She informed us when saki is heated, it's usually done so to hide the bad taste if it's a poor quality saki! We ordered ours cold. Super good! I had a Hibiscus Berry Lemonade which was supposedly had vodka in it, but I didn't taste any, and neither did my companion. All in all, this is a very, very good place to come to for ramen in Milwaukee. Reviewed on 1/3/2019
olivia dobbs
Loved the vegan ramen and cocktail menu, and outdoor seating in a beautiful area of downtown
Chelsea Coorts
Great night, no reservation, we were ok with waiting, got us a spot, service was a little slow but nothing terrible. They were handling a lot the night we came in.
Aside from that. The ramen was great with tons of options to choose from. We got apps and dinner and everything was delicious.
Crystal Butzlaff
Really good food! High end food, high price. Would definitely go again. Lots of vegan and vegetarian options.
Adea Agolli
First time at Artisan Ramen and I cant say I’m impressed. The decor is cool and I like the smaller space. I ordered a cherry cocktail which was delicious but the tofu appetizer and build- your- own ramen was adequate at best. The pork- miso- rice noodle combo for ramen was saltless! I felt like the flavors of all the ingredients weren’t harmonious. Also, the pork was extremely dry. The staff was nice but noticeably short and took a little too long.
Yasmeen Ragab
Curry ramen was super yummy :-) and dessert was great! Got the mochi ice cream and matcha cheesecake. Staff was very friendly!
Kelly
Solid, consistent tastes and flavors every time we've ordered here. Super tasty Ramen but other dishes are done well with reasonable prices. A great take out, delivery, or even dine in experience with friendly staff in a small cozy atmosphere.
Kristopher Kennedy
The atmosphere of this restaurant is amazing. They were playing our favorite anime on the tv! I had the vegan roll and it was so good. Cynthia was the best server ever!
Katie Schutzkus
My boyfriend's first ramen experience and he loved it! The ability to build your own ramen was a great option, loved the ramen cheese sticks and Zoe makes great cocktails! She made the experience smooth and unforgettable.
Heather Silverthorn
Really great, small Ramen shop. Glad we found this place. The quality of the food was amazing. Only downside is, is a little on the pricey side.
Christopher P. Flowers
Bailey was awesome she took my order and had it ready in no time the food was amazing
K'Lynn King
Creamy Chicken Ramen is BOMB! Service is great. They are really friendly. Love the atmosphere.
Ryne Diamond
Really good ramen and drinks (I’d recommend Taste the Rainbow)! Our server, Erin, was fantastic and offered really good recommendations! I’d definitely return.
PK Kilty
Just gave Artistic Ramen a try and was blown away by the taste and quality. Excellent place for lunch or after work.
Menu is a bit overwhelming for a beginner, but Izzy, the bartender, walked me through my choices. I had chicken ramen w classic noodles and all the veggies, just 1* of spiciness. Delicious meal, and was very spicy!
I’ll be back soon to try happy hour.
Meghna Prasad
Recently visited Artisan Ramen for lunch with couple colleagues and enjoyed our food here!
The decor was interesting and gave a vibe that of a night club in some ways .. modern and dark. You see the bar as you enter to your right and seating is in front. This place is located centrally enough in downtown to get a good crowd during lunch hour. We came in around 11.30 am to avoid the true 12 pm rush and happened to notice that this place was busy already.
A server got us seated right away and gave us our menu. We were waiting for a long time till the server came to take our orders.. she wasn't sitting idle or anything, but she was attending to various other tables. The place was busy and had only one server. We got our food after a while and it was delicious. I had ordered the Japanese bowl and it had a ton of flavor and spice level as you request. My colleagues got ramen and they enjoyed it as well :) After 30 -40 mins of us being in the restaurant when it got really crowded we saw another lady joined in to help the sever who was very sweet and asked us how we liked our food. She was probably the owner, I am not sure.
I will certainly be back here again and recommend it to others.
Grace Skinner
lots of great vegetarian options- the fried tofu and kimchi ramen are great! mochi icecream is also amazing. erin is a great waitress and is very sweet!! naruto playing on the TVs is a great touch
Janelle Rhodes
Tracy is the best! We love having her as our waitress when we go. The food is fantastic too! I wish they had another location closer to our home so we could door dash it.
Karlye Schwarz
The ramen was super good, I recommend the miso base, I am so full! Huge portions!
H. Michael Shoulders
I quite enjoyed Artisan Ramen. Flavorful and very filling. Pricing was on par with similar places like Kawa and Tanpopo, however the food was much more elevated. With a great atmosphere and wonderful staff, the meal seemed to be even more enjoyable. I will be back in the near future to satisfy my palate with even more delicious flavor.
A side note, thank you so very much to Shelby for being patient with my party this evening. You were kind and delightful. Thank you for the attentive service. You were great.
I cant wait to eat here once again!
Vada Arndt
This is my third time going to Artisan Ramen and it has never disappointed. From the service to the atmosphere and of course the food, I have had nothing yet to complain about.
austin melenchuk
I've had ramen at other places and this one stands alone! They are pricey but it's worth every penny! Top quality best choice hands down!
Jay Gibson
Back in Milwaukee and while I’ve said this before I’ll say it again. Artisan Ramen is my #1. I got to meet Sherry the owner in 2019 and I’m still blown away by her commitment to her craft of building an amazing bowl. Such complexity, the bitterness of the black garlic oil is the perfect compliment to the sweet taste of the soy sauce/sugar water brine marinated mushrooms. The perfect sear on the delish chasu pork. The fantastic noodles themselves are worth mentioning because they make them in house, almost unheard of in the US. I’m in Umami Heaven right now😎
Fake Band
The fire roll was excellent and the perfect level of spice. Our waitress Bailey was very welcoming and had great recommendations.
irockzlove
I went here for lunch while in town. It's super laid back and chill. The ramen was amazing. Bubble tea and mochi were super good. Not to mention the service was super friendly and helpful!
Kevin Meyerhoff
Wonderful location, great atmosphere and the food was fantastic
Fr. Stephen Buting
A great meal out with friends. Lots of ramen that was enjoyed by all!
Timothy Taylor
This place was awesome! We had the privilege to be served by Izzy, he was fantastic! I had build your own Ramen, super flavorful. I definitely will go back to try more on the menu. The menu had many interesting dishes to choose from.👍 …
Rachel Reimann
Zoe is a great server! She knows the menu and checked in several times to make sure we were satisfied. The edamame and entrees were delicious and we topped it off with some mochi! Definitely coming back.
Daniel Anderson
The make your own ramen here is both convenient and delicious. You also can get rid of any worry about finding something that you'll like. I also had the beef ramen and the beef was amazingly prepared and went perfectly with the mushrooms.
Josue Araujo
Nice atmosphere and good service. The food was OK.
Peter Zalinski
Still working to generate a consistent dining experience. I've never had the same experience twice, ordering the same bowl of ramen on multiple visits. Heat, appearance, wait time, quality, all of these have varied. It's okay, worth a visit for the atmosphere.
Ashley Epler
The ramen was great and loved that spicy edamame! Zoe was so welcome and friendly!
Melissa W
Have been here a few times. Amazing food and such a comfortable atmosphere. All of the staff are very friendly and provide great service. Went tonight for the Valentine's special, and it was a great value. Would highly recommend.
Timber Hawkeye
Vegan ramen for the win 🙌

Was in Milwaukee for business with my fiancée. Both of us craving ramen did a little search on Foursquare and found Artisen Ramen. Came to the restaurant and was met with a very cool atmosphere and friendly staff. Tracey was our server and she was extremely welcoming. She did a great job answering our questions and maintaining contact throughout our dining experience making sure we were taken care of. As for the ramen, I would say it was one of the best places I have ever been to and we frequent larger cities like Los Angeles and Chicago. The Tonkotsu Ramen spicy level 3 was the right spice and flavor. The mushrooms were sweet and savory and everything complimented each other. Will be back.
Jennifer Tran
Lovely ramen stop!! My wife got the spicy noodles which I had never seen and it was pretty spicy. I got the kimchi ramen with udon because I love udon and I liked that they had different noodle options here :) the udon was a bit tough and crunchy as apposed to the thick chewiness I was expecting which is why I gave 4 stars but the kimchi and fried tofu was so good!!!
Emma T
I am not a ramen expert by any means, but this is the best ramen I've ever had. Every detail is so delicious! The shitake mushrooms are sweet and savory, the black garlic sauce is a yummy addition, and noodles are always perfectly cooked. I like that you can customize your ramen. I usually get the ramen with pork belly, miso dashi broth, classic noodles, with added black garlic. My boyfriend gets the same thing but adds spice. The cocktails are creative and refreshing. And if alcohol isn't your thing, the hot tea selection is great. The decor and ambiance is geeky and cool at the same time. Sometimes they play a POV livestream of someone walking the streets of Japan. If you sit at the bar, you can watch anime!
thezeldasensei
Very impressed with the ramen. The ramen cheese sticks appeared very bland, but surprisingly were very tasty. Will return here in the future for sure!
Nathan Walla
Our server, Zoe, was very helpful during our first experience. She helped us pick a great meal that suited our needs. The ramen is good and so is the environment 😊. …
Tanya Kobasic
Shout out to Izzy for an excellent experience. He was crazy helpful and just a great waiter.
The ramen wasn’t my favorite. We got the beef ramen and the broth was pretty good and the spicy sauce was exactly like what we had when we were in Southeast Asia. The beef in the ramen was overcooked, a bit too thick and chewy. The noodles were not what I expected in a ramen so it threw off the texture experience for me.
The artisan crab rangoons were yummy, but we expected a few more for the price.
I really like the feel and look of the place, but I wouldn’t go back for the ramen. Extra star is for Izzy.
sky kruse
Amazing food, excellent service by Bailey. I would recommend, the atmosphere is great and a all around wonderful dining experience. This is one of my favorite restaurants!
S.L. Beaumont
I loved this place! The menu isn't huge but it's good ramen. I asked for recommendations and my server suggested ordering with extra noodles as they are made in house there and that was a great suggestion. I noticed prior to going that some reviews mentioned the broth wwe bland so I ordered mine with a spice level of 2 (on a scale of 0 to 3) and I thought it was very tasty and just the right level of spice (I do like mine spicy.) If I go again, I'll skip the egg as it was a bit gooey for my taste (but o admittedly like my eggs well done so that's just my preference... It wasn't undercooked or anything). Also a plus here -- they have a full bar. :-) The service was great and the prices were reasonable too.
Rick Eckart
Best Ramen and Udon in Milwaukee. Servers are very friendly and happy to customize your order. Speed of service a++
Dan S.
Absolutely delicious. Went around 5 on a Saturday and it wasn't very busy. Service was wonderful, I had the beef rice bowl (Gyu Don I believe?) and my girlfriend got chicken ramen with black garlic and medium spice. We also split an order of the popcorn chicken. Everything was so good I was blown away. I dont eat much in the way of ramen and neither does my girlfriend so we dont have much to compare to but the food was excellent service was excellent, we will both be going back.
And for those who need it: For both entrees, that neither of us finished there, an apperizer, and coffee, it was 38 dollars. More than fair.
James Barber
Artisan Ramen is a treasure hidden in Milwaukee if you appreciate quality noodle soups and/or Japanese pop culture.
The restaurant is decorated with awesome artwork and murals, referencing pop culture. There are Japanese Mangas (comics) sitting on the waiting area tables. There are Japanese shows (I think) and anime playing on TVs as well. This is nice in the background but if it's not your thing, it not distracting or overwhelming.
The food though is amazing. It's build your own ramen. While some of the options my be intimidating, the wait staff were very happy to help you decide. The presentation of the ramen is great. The flavor of the ramen is great. I can't give enough praise over how much I liked this meal. The service was excellent as well.
Only wish I had into the future is if they could offer a tonkotsu ramen in addition to their current ones.
Overall, I'm a big fan and I'll be going back. Can't wait to try some of their other entrees.
Google User
While we enjoyed the food and our server was most kind, the lack of vegan options was kinda crummy. The interior decor was really cool. The ramen was tasty. But the only things on the menu other than ramen that could be made vegan were edamame and a veggie roll. Would love to see some additional items added. Wouldn’t really come back until that happens.
Emily S
Our first time visiting Artisan Ramen was on a Thursday evening shortly after they reopen at 5PM. We did not have a reservation, and we were lucky we arrived when we did, because the restaurant filled up quickly by 6PM. We received excellent and friendly service throughout dinner, and were especially impressed with this (thanks, Israel!)
We started off with the Pork Gyoza for an appetizer. These were tasty, although the dumpling itself was a little thicker than usual, but I’m guessing this was because they are made in house. Both of us ordered ramen, which is build-your-own. We both did the Tonkotsu (Pork) broth, and I went for the Shoyu (Soy Sauce) base and Classic noodles, while my dining partner picked Miso base with Chili infused noodles. The noodle selection is nice; most ramen places don’t have so many noodle options, but again, this goes back to the in-house made ingredients. The Classic noodles were good, but I think I would try something else next time, maybe the Squid Ink. I preferred the Chili Infused to the classic, and I also liked the Miso base better than the Shoyu. We both did the Japanese Spice level 2, which wasn’t that spicy, so our server was happy to bring out a chili paste they make in-house for us to add – this really kicked things up a notch! Definitely spicy, and a nice added flavor. The pork was done well, and the add-ins were solid (more mushrooms and no cabbage please). I’ve never had broccoli in ramen before though and would have preferred something a little more traditional like bok choy. One thing that could be easily improved upon – the ramen didn’t come out piping hot like usual. It was warm, but it seemed like the broth had been hot and with the addition of cold ingredients, the whole dish ended up being just warm.
Our experience at Artisan Ramen was pleasant. The great customer service we received had a big impact on our over-all impression. Even though the restaurant was full shortly after we got there, we wouldn’t have noticed as the level of service did not go down (thanks, Israel!). We purchased a Groupon to check out Artisan Ramen; this made things a little better price-wise, as the ramen was a little pricey compared to other ramen places. Happy hour deals are not encouraged to be used alongside a Groupon, which is a little disappointing. The ramen itself was tasty, although the noodles were not my favorite; they were a little too spaghetti-like and chewy (just in comparison to other ramen, not to say they were unpleasant). I would visit again to try one of the other noodle varieties, and hope for the ramen to be hotter when it was served.
Richard Sherlowsky
I had the pleasure of eating at Artisan Ramen the other day. I was warmly greeted by Niki who is the manager. I asked for her recommendation on which was her favorite ramen. She said that she loved them all but the chicken was spectacular. I agreed. The flavor of the broth was so even. It was not over salted and it made the chicken melt in your mouth with every bite. Cannot wait to visit again.
Nicholas Whitehead
This place is so awesome! They're ramen is like a ninja kick to the face of flavor! Eating it was like riding an umami hot rod to the center of flavortown. Plus the staff is really nice.
dAk k
OMG yummy. just go. from the appetizers, happy hour specials and main dishes, just WOW . an affordable gem that just got added to a must go spot when in town.
Malyellen Vang
Would have gave it a 5 star but the service wasn’t great at all. My water had something in it, and the waitress took forever to change my water. She also didn’t come and check on us, and she didn’t refill our water till we left. But the food was delicious. Had the pork ramen with miso and level 3 spicy. Just wish the service was better.
Dustin Jobin
Hands down best ramen shop I've been to in a long time!

It was very good to have a Japanese meal in the states "especially in the Midwest that is good" the Kimchi Ramen was excellent and the tofu was nice memorable memory of What is waiting for me back in Osaka. Thank you for reminding me of a special time in Japan that I had and will continue to have. Keep doing such a good job

Moving from Seattle it’s hard to find some solid Asian cuisine in Milwaukee; and this place brings me right back there. By far one of my favorite restaurants.
Anelia Patterson
First time going there for a Friday night. I was greeted by the owner and waitstaff which made me feel welcome. I sat at the bar in corforble bar stool. I was walked thru the menu as well by bartender, Joe. He recommended the Japanese Curry and it was amazing. If you are looking to be more than just a service ticket and tips I highly recommended going for a good time for either a solo trip or a good time with friends.
Thomas Patterson
Great drink menu with tasty cocktails and import beers. Food is fresh and delectable. Broth flavor is astounding. Spice levels are appropriate and satisfying.
Zoey is an excellent bartender!

Had a great experience here! The pork ramen is fantastic and the staff is very friendly. Elizabeth, the manager, was extremely nice, easy to talk to and made sure my time here was as enjoyable as possible. Will definitely be returning again!
Jake Woller
Great service. Ramen was not good. Noodles tasted like cheap spaghetti, broth was luke warm and didn't have much flavor. Maybe I came on a bad night.
Kaitlin Bero
They always have amazing food and service.
Alissa Kravig
First time at Artisan Ramen & it was great! Really good food & service. Definitely coming back!
Shazam! Computer Repair
Just my opinion. It was good, even very good. Definitely different than what I was anticipating. The reason for taking off one star was because it's quite expensive, and I even had a groupon coupon. Service was good, and food was good. It's definitely not something that I would like to pay for full price, but if someone likes that kind of specialty, the more power to them! You may love them, or not. Like I said before, IMO, we liked it.
chris vroman
Artisan Ramen has a wonderful atmosphere, thw service was great, and the food so good that I ordered a meal to go after my sit down meal
Zoe Gagliano
From the authentic ramen to the great service, there is no better place in Milwaukee to get tasteful ramen.
The environment is peaceful, always smiling faces and some pretty great house cocktails.
There happy hour has so many options on them!! Love that
Chris Wes
Short staffed over lunch but the service was fast and courteous (in and out about 45 minutes). The chicken ramen was incredibly good, highly recommended!!
Asnellgr Snellgrove
I can’t say enough good things about this place. The atmosphere was laid back, the service was stellar, and the food was delicious. Highly recommend the gyoza and vegetable tempura appetizers. The added convenience of a bar in house was nice and the bartender as well as our server were personable and gave great menu suggestions.

The atmosphere was great & Cynthia was a very nice, fun, and attentive server!! Loved to see Ouran Highschool Host Club & Avatar playing :)!
Julie Nielsen
Food was terrific and Erin was really helpful in making our selections as well as suggesting fun things to do in Milwaukee. Would definitely recommend to others.
Derek Dietrich
Great ramen and nice atmosphere!
Vince “South-G” Rodriguez
Me and my wife Christine were hear recently for a date night and had a very pleasant experience . It was both of our first time having real ramen and I was not disappointed , I had the miso ramen with pork and it was delicious but I must say the soft boiled egg stole the show for me .The pork was very tasty as well a d I also enjoyed the Japanese beer I tried. We will definitely be back
Rhiannon Napieralski
Service was sketchy. Their staff seems very green in that area. They were trying, though! Food was good. We enjoyed the gyoza, spicy edamame, and pork ramen of various spice levels. The ramen was savory and rich, the interesting addition of sweet corn provided a nice contrast. The tempura shrimp were a flop. The batter was thick, hard, and chewy instead of the light crispyness that's typical. I would visit again.

Bailey gave us the best experience for our first time trying ramen and honestly anything on this menu! For sure try any suggestions they give!
Whatsur Bucket
I love their Friday Nights! Kitchen open all night. Between the Karaoke, Anime, the $2 shots and the friendly Bartenders I won't go near Water Street on a Friday anymore! They are super friendly. Great food.
Juni Schwabe
Very good ramen! Lots of options to customize your ramen. They even offer vegetarian options. The vegetable option under the protein selection includes tofu despite not mentioning it.
You can choose from spiciness levels from 0-3 and even what type of noodles you get!
Would definitely recommend! Due to the many options it's easy for anyone to eat here!
Nicholas Jorgensen
1 year ago I set out to find a good ramen place in Milwaukee and found nothing that was even worth finishing. I have been to this place about 4-5 times now and plan to continue going because of the fantastic ramen. I have also found that the staff and manager are extremely friendly and courteous!!! They are expanding there menu and changing every day to meet the taste and preferences of people! I look fowrard to eating there next weekend and the week after that!
Haley Suprenant
Never have had a bad experience here. I think a lot of it has to do with Israel. He’s such a good host/server/bartender. Really appreciate his service and attention to customers!!!
We will always be back! Great food. Great service. Great culture!
Timothy Taylor
This was my first time having Ramen, and I loved it! The food was great, our server Izzy was attentive and answered all of my questions when ordering. I will definitely be back!!
Erin Pacheco
I’m not a huge meat eater (it’s a texture thing), so I’ve been back multiple times for their Vegetable Ramen since it seems like this is the only Ramen place in town that serves vegetable ramen. And they do it very well, it’s amazing—I love the broth, the tofu is always firm and well seasoned, and at a spice level of 2 I’ve found that my ramen is the perfect balance of spicy and mild.
Annette Claus-Madison
We plan to go again but for our first visit we weren't sure what to order and the experience wasn't as good as it could have been. Didn't like soft boiled deviled eggs. Black Garlic in the soup looked like an oil slick.
Maryann Cole
Disappointed with Artisan, they come to participate with Fooda at my bldg which is great but portions are now skimpier, no more fish cakes in the ramen or broccoli but prices went up. I asked for a bit of spice in a container which is normally free, now there's a charge for that. Sorry, I know a few other people who always looked forward to Artisan coming but with the changes they are skipping it altogether, me included.
Erik Vickstrom
Both the service and food was excellent! The ramen broth was full of flavor, the toppings were fresh and plentiful, and the noodles are homemade fresh, which was an added surprise. I highly recommend checking this place out!
Randi Beatse
Seriously fantastic food. One of the few ramen places that actually offer a vegetarian ramen
Xiong Cha
We order the spicy ramen and it was delicious. The shrimp tempura is cooked perfectly. Environment is clean and japan like style. Our server TRACEY is very swift, friendly and explained everything perfectly.
Arthur Hertweck
Great atmosphere, the opener is incredibly attentive and friendly. Not to mention just how tasty the food is!
Alex Hartford
Simple but delicious menu. Support the owner! She is great, and you can tell she really cares about the quality and love that goes into cooking. You'll know it's her if you run into her😁 …
Anna R
Super good yummy fresh ramen! Would definitely go again. Fair prices
Hailey Elwood
The best ramen place in Milwaukee hands down. You will not be disappointed. They have create your own ramen so you can make it just how you like. Sometimes the service can be a little slow but the food makes up for the that.
Jessica Darczuk
We sat at the bar and stuffed our faces with ramen and dan dan noodles. This place doesn't disappoint in our experience. (Shoutout to the awesome Zoe at the bar!)
Justin Govas
Great food and great service. Plus everyone that works here is super friendly. I generally go with ramen and its a price point I can most definitely live with! A+ and keep it up guys!
Tom Bent
First time diners. The ramen was excellent. The pork dumplings we're good but you only get four. Honestly, the service sucked, bad. So bad I probably will not be back.
Nicole Glovacki
Israel helped us pick our ramen style & he didn't disappoint! Soooooo good ... I recommend putting the Japanese hot spices on the side so you can control the heat! Ragoons were AWESOME!
Travis Beahlen
A bit on the pricey side. $13 a bowl but a lot of extras are thrown in and the bowl is highly customizable for your specific tastes. Good Ramen but the ramen often comes out on the luke warm side and should be served hotter.
Tim Swartz
Their vegetable ramen is the best I have ever had. I would give it 5 stars easily if they had more sensible business hours on Saturdays!! C'mon, why would you open from 11:30-2pm M-F (most people are at work during these hours) but not on Sat (when most people can actually make it there during those hours)?!! Makes no sense!
Nick Sadoti
A higher than 5 star experience. Zoe was spectacular and the food was AMAZING. Literally everything was delicious.
Joshua Thomas
Its more expensive then you would first guss but it's also nicly porcined but Great Roman and appetizers they also play anime on 2 screens and 2 other shows although you cant hear them the subtitles are on i would definitely be back soon.
Axel Torres (AxelNight13)
The food was amazing, the employees as well. I cant make up my mind if the food or the employees where better but today is not gonna be my last time comming for sure!❤ I'm bringing my girlfriend to eat here and also during October for a show we are going as well. I still cant belive ramen is this good!!!!
Amy “Cholula” Carerros-Worswick
The night started out good, our server was super friendly and helpful. And the food was good. But once we got our food, we stopped getting checked on and it took close to an hour to get our checks. Do not recommend if you're in a hurry.
Scott Fitzgerald
I have now tried all of their broths, but miso is my absolute favorite. Be sure to add the black garlic. It is well worth the dollar, and it really takes their already delicious broth to the next level. For meat, I have found that I like the chicken, but the pork is out of this world! Perfectly seared and crispy. I've tried udon, kale, and spicy noodles, but the regular noodles are my fav.
CykoMF Harley
Full on fusion of flavor and fun. Food was great but the service was kinda slow for a downtown eatery looking to bring in the lunch crowd. They just opened so hopefully they can pick up the pace to stay in the race.
mark hartmann
Busy place for sure and server was hustling. Enjoyed ramen noodles with chicken and a serving of sake. Prices were fair too.
Kortney Adams
Tasty food. Good service. It's exactly what I wanted on a cold, rainy Milwaukee day. Recommend.
Jamshid Zonoozi
Enjoy the experience and love their ramen.
Catarina Anthony
Ever since I added the black garlic to my ramen it has been hard to go without. The cooks really put love into the food <3 I’m normally and Udon noodle fan but I really like how artisan makes different flavors like Squid ink and Spicy noodles.
Charles Pratt (Charles)
Good atmosphere and great service. The beef ramen was a little sweet which was odd, but overall really good and definitely going back!
Lipika Prakash
Love this spot! Great food and fun ambience. The service has been a hit or a miss sometimes, but the food's always great.
Love that they do tea right and that there's a matcha dessert on the menu.
Christopher Miller
Went here for lunch during the work day. Ramen was solid but not spectacular. Would go again during work, but don't need to go out of my way. The group I ate with all agreed, and the ramen place in Farwell was everyone's favorite.
Emily Nowak
If you've tried Yokohama (rip) or Red Light, this place is not the same ramen! There was nothing wrong with the service, but the food left us wanting. This is a cute, casual place but the noodles weren't what we expected. The name "Artisan Ramen" leads you to believe that this is very traditional ramen. What we were served was similar to spaghetti noodles; I have never had a ramen like this. The tonkatsu was nicely done, but definitely could have done without the corn (??? why ???) and carrots (again, I have never had these in "traditional" ramen). Decided to order the tiramisu which was described as having "a matcha twist." I thought this would be tiramisu prepared with matcha, but what I got appeared to be Pick-n-Save brand tiramisu with a few dollops of matcha whipped cream on the side. Tl;dr: It's okay, I might go back, but it definitely left me wanting. Prices should be a couple dollars lower for what you get.
Suzie Skalmoski
We had Ziggy as our waiter....he was excellent! He was also funny and added to our experience. The food was fun and interesting, and dining outside was a delight.
Aric Schmiling
Authentic ramen in a funky place with great service. Bailey was great and we really enjoyed our experience!
Anna Herff
What a great little place! Incredibly fast service and great ramen. Everything tastes fresh and prepared in house. I can’t wait to go again!
Holly Holmberg
HIGHLY recommend this place! Such a fun atmosphere, amazing food, and great service!
aaron keihl
Was tasty. Cool vibe. Only minor complaint was 1 sever on a Friday at lunch slowed things down a tad. Also was chilly inside
Adam olszewski
Great place for ramen. I had the pork ramen spice level 3. It wasn't overly spicy and the pork was extremely tender. The staff was great and responsive. From my limited ramen experience, the best I've had in Milwaukee.
Agnes
Izzy was a pretty good waiter. Ramen was pretty good but not amazing. Little overpriced. But the place itself is quite goo . They played naruto on a tv.
Miranda Contreras
Wow gluten free and vegan! Love the atmosphere, definitely need to check it out!
Goutham Pai
Decent ramen and cocktails at a good price. I thought the egg was a bit overdone compared to the soft boiled egg I usually expect.
Steve Stratman Studio
We travel all over the US and I'm always looking for a Ramen shop. So far, this is my favorite. Rich broth, great pork belly. I had them load it with heat and they didn't pull any punches.
yue liu
Hmmm food is kinda wired and in maybe American-Japanese style? Nothing as expected and there are 18% gratuities. Service is good though.
Adam Milbrath
Very friendly owner, delicious ramen, and a fun looking atmosphere! (Ordered carryout) Definitely going to be back. I'm curious about their spicy challenge.
Aditya Karandikar
Went here on a Wednesday night around 5:30pm and we were the only ones there. Was a little concerned but the food was pretty good and people slowly trickled in about an hour or so later. I enjoyed what I had but wasn't blown away.
ThatOneCake
Really good food amazing!! Make sure you check it out. Erin our server was the best!!!
Bryan Sternig
Just did the ramen making class and I highly reccomend. Carlos was a great instructor and helped you throughout the ramen making process. The bartender was very friendly and nice too. Nice restaurant and the ramen was GREAT. Will be back.
Nhi Poss
Great place! This is my most favorite ramen restaurant so far. The noodles is chewy, soup is perfect. Sashimi is fresh. Cozy atmosphere, friendly services. Highly recommended for ramen lovers.
Ian Dorney
Erin was a fantastic, responsive server! And she didn’t laugh at me when I inhaled a TON of spice :)
Nannette Steuerwald
Izzy is a very attentive, energetic server. The food was prepared quickly, using fresh ingredients, and quite tasty, and a nice casual atmosphere , but the jewel of the establishment was defenatly Izzy.
E squeezey
Erin was the best waitress. so courteous! 11/10 definently made the night.
angela lopez
Fantastic and a great range on their spicy
Madi Ward
Zoe was so attentive and made us feel welcome! Food was delicious and made date night great
Michael Heinz
Don't get the "tempura" it's not tempura, it's greasy panko fried veggies. Ramen has good broth, noodles didn't seem to have the same spunk and chewyness that is character of a ramen noodle. They grill their pork which actually added a pleasant flavor to the dish but I could do without a lot of the other nonsense in the bowl (looking at you corn and carrots). They don't belong in ramen because they didn't really add enough to warrant their addition. Pork and broth good, though.
Trinity Davis
first time trying ramen and I couldn’t have picked a better place to try it at. Not only is my ramen delicious, my server, Tracy, has the best customer service! Definitely recommend this restaurant!!
Tyler Rudzinski
Best ramen place I've been to

Sue Lyn Fennimore
Delicious ramen and a super fun atmosphere!

Gerald Gehrke
Authentic Japanese cuisine. Anime projected on walls via Netflix. Bar not great, but the huge bowls of ramen definitely won't leave you hungry! Try momofuku and mochi.

Incredibly relaxed atmosphere with anime always playing on the TV. I was given great recommendations when I asked, the food came out quickly, it was delicious, and I was attended to very well.

Great beef ramen! And whatever they marinate their shitake mushrooms in is fabulous!

A bit on the bland side.

If it's not the best ramen in Milwaukee it's definitely the coolest ramen shop! With anime playing on the TV and Japanese manga to look at!!!
Alejandro Cuatlacuatl
Drove three hours just to eat here and it was totally worth it. The worst part about this place is knowing I cannot have it everyday.
Manny
The food is good, but the portions are small for the price.
Porter Hasz
Appreciated the Crossing Field as I walked in.
