I got tonkotsu ramen and genmaicha. The genmaicha tasted a little burnt. In the ramen, some of the ingredients were still a bit cold - the egg, and some of the roots/veggies. The broth was okay. The actual noodles were surprisingly good.

Stopped in on a rainy evening and enjoyed the friendly atmosphere and a couple sushi rolls. My Dragon Roll was amazing - flavorful and so fresh. The California Roll was delicious and as expected. Absolutely would visit again :) Thank you for a delightful visit!

Omg this place is so delicious. I sipped the rest of the tonkotsu broth from the bowl. The meat melts in your mouth.

We tried the veggie shio and veggie shoyu ramen, both were good. I usually like my ramen to be more creamy, so these options are not my favorite. Service was great. Some homeless person had put their stuff right in front of the main door to the restaurant, which felt a little unwelcoming.. but the vibe within the restaurant was great.

I love the Bansho Ultimate Ramen so much that I literally haven't ever ordered anything else here. The best ramen I've ever had anywhere, but I can't comment on anything else. It's loud if there are lots of people there.
Food on the window attracted me inside of this place. Service was bad to almost nonexistent. One waitress and she was on her phone 90% of the time. Experience started with being given a dirty spoon. Tried the lion king roll, kaarage chicken and unagi nigiri and was pretty disappointed by all of it. Pricing seemed to be the only decent thing here.

We started with the Karaage, Japanese-style fried chicken, which was flavorful and had a nice kick of ginger. However, when it came to the Tonkotsu Traditional pork bone broth ramen, we were left wanting more. The broth lacked the richness and depth of flavor we expected from a tonkotsu broth, which was disappointing.On a brighter note, the Bansho Ultimate Ramen offered a more satisfying experience. The rich pork bone broth with homemade garlic seasoning provided a tasty base, and the variety of toppings, including simmered pork belly, ground pork with miso paste, and fried gobo (Burdock Root), added layers of flavor and texture. In particular, the fried burdock root added a unique crunch that complemented the dish well.

Pretty good fairly priced ramen here in southside. They give you tons of pork in the tonkotsu ramen. Nice rich broth!

Fantastic on all fronts, they nailed everything ramen should be from tasty tangy noodles, to seasoned eggs and delicious broth. Will come again!

Not kidding when I say it’s the best sushi I’ve had in recent memory. The Bansho House Roll with shrimp and tempura salmon literally melted in my house. I normally like sushi, but I don’t love it. I LOVED their sushi. My family also absolutely loved their ramen. Don’t walk here, RUN. Cherry on the cake was that it’s a cute little place.
