I just have to give a huge shoutout to Tiger Belly in Granby, CT because this place deserves all the love. It may look simple and unassuming from the outside, but the food? Spectacular. Easily one of my top ramen spots in Connecticut.
We also tried their sushi/maki rolls and wow—so fresh. You can really taste the quality of the fish and even the avocado. Everything had the right crunch, the right texture, the right flavor. Truly one of the best.
And the service? She’s a one‑woman show—taking orders, serving, clearing tables—and still manages to be attentive, efficient, and genuinely warm. Even with a packed restaurant, she made sure everything stayed clean and everyone felt welcomed. That smile never left her face.
If you’re anywhere near Granby, this spot is absolutely worth the visit.

This place only sells one type of Japanese ramen, and it’s the best in the state.
First off, the broth is rich and creamy. There is an abundance of bouncy noodles that soak up that good broth. The toppings compliment the broth and noodles so well. Finally, they are not shy with their pork belly. It’s huge, slightly sweet and spicy, fatty with umami.
The bao buns. Oh the bao buns. The pork belly is melt in your mouth. The sweetness of the hoisin sauce compliments the saltiness of the pork. But unlike other establishments, this bao is definitely unique. The vegetables are slightly sour, cutting through all the flavours and making it slightly refreshing.
And to top it off, service is quick, tables are clean, and atmosphere is great.
There is a reason why this place is so highly regarded, I guess the only gripe I have is that it’s slightly secluded to the northern part of the state. If only they were a little more south!
Would highly recommend to anyone. Definitely will come here again.

This is my go to spot with my boyfriend. There’s never any question with quality of food, the food is amazing each time you go. They have perfected their menu and the cooks are truly masters with their craft. Best food in the area, and if you’re not in the area it’s worth the travel.
I am always in the mood for Tiger Belly. 🫶🏼

Love the small, focused menu. Ramen and Nine-Spice Chicken both excellent, as was the sushi.
