Ume Craft Ramen

I prefer to always try new restaurants as often as possible, but I’ve been in Lexington for less than a month and already eaten here multiple times! I LOVE Ume and my friends and I have bonded over how much we like it. It is so flavorful and delicious, and so reasonably priced for the quality. I usually don’t love the marinated eggs in ramen, but here, they are DELICIOUS, as is the rest of the food!! The portion size is great, the quality of the cut of the meat is great, the broth is great… I have no complaints. I know it is basic, but their Tonkatsu is phenomenal. I highly recommend. Ume definitely ranks in my top 3 ramen experiences, and I have had ramen from around the country and many different places! The only thing that bothers me is that they don’t accept free, substitutions, so

The best place to savor a delicious bowl of ramen, especially during the chilly winter months. They also offer a variety of other Japanese dishes to choose from.

I’ve never been to a craft Ramen restaurant before so this was an all new experience. The hostess was very helpful with information about the various dishes. I had the pork Chashu with the Ramen and soy broth, which was delicious, and I finished with the red bean ice cream. I’m always looking for unique places to eat, and this will be on my list.

Highly recommend getting crispy rice with spicy tuna as a starter. It was absolutely delicious. There are two of them, so it is really easy to share with one other person, although once you try it, you might not want to share. Every ramen I've had from here was good. The pork was tender. The egg was tasty. The spinach was spinach. If you're a fan of eel, you should try the una don bowl. Eel, avocado, and rice, you can't go wrong. And if you've gotten this far, you should just go check this place out already. (Just a heads up, they couldn't serve alcohol when we were here (middle of February) because they were waiting on their license.

Highly authentic ramen and some of the best I've ever had in the US. The miso broth is amazing, especially when it's cold out. The gyoza are also incredible. People seem to mention the service in reviews but it's a ramen restaurant! Just imagine that you're getting the real experience, especially if you sit at the counter. Prices are also very reasonable. A must try in Lexington.
