I can't leave a full 5 stars because that feels wrong, but for the price this place is amazing. Personable staff, great food with a nice balance to it (we got soft shell crab appetizer and rice dish), and nice atmosphere.Came here just because hungry and more than pleasantly surprised.

Stopped here after a long day of shopping around the city and this was the perfect meal.The atmosphere here is so fun and vibey! They had a DJ there playing funky music (I assume that’s only on weekends).We ordered two bowls of a ramen, warm sake, a beer and a cocktail, as well as their seasonal special which was a chicken appetizer/side that was the most incredible flavor bomb. I want to go back today and get two orders of it! Wow it was good.I ordered the spiced pear cocktail and it was delicious! I wish it had an even stronger pear taste but it was still so yummy! The sake was incredible, always a food additional to a ramen dinner.

The tonkotsu shio ramen was great, very flavorful broth and great noodle texture. Creative drink menu with Japanese inspired cocktails.

Clean, minimalist vibe. Gets straight to the point with wonderful food, and a solid yet small selection of drinks.

The Afuri shio ramen's delicate chicken broth, a symphony of umami and subtle salt, evoked childhood comfort from past visits to Japan. Paired with the crispy, succulent karaage, and the perfectly golden gyoza, each bite was a nostalgic journey, blending tradition with gourmet excellence. Truly, a culinary delight and look forward to returning!

Last time I came here I didn’t have kids, now I do. Happened to be in the area and was searching for dinner idea and AFURI came right up to my mind, because place has exceptional service, top tier cleanliness and is kids friendly. Food is kept at high level as how I remembered last.Highly recommend for whoever is in the area looking for kid friendly restaurant.

Nice bright atmosphere. Love seeing the chef at work.I had the gyoza and salad off the seasonal menu. It is delicious.The flavors and textures are well balanced. I’m loving everything about it.

Parking: I was here mid afternoon and easy to find parking on the street.

Wheelchair accessibility: Large open space to get a wheelchair in with tables set aside for accessibility.
