Friends Ramen is a cozy, well-decorated restaurant where guests are treated nicely. The servers remember specific needs, such as water without ice. They offer half bowls of ramen for those who are not too hungry. There is a variety of meals to choose from, including the consistently great spicy shrimp ramen, gyoza, and shrimp tempura. The cocktails are sweet, and the karaage chicken ramen has a nice, spicy kick with standout chili oil. Some have mentioned unexpected charges for condiments, but overall, the service is very good. It is an excellent late-night spot in the summer, although seating is limited, so groups are best kept to four or fewer. Friends Ramen is a favorite dining spot known for good food, service, and music, with portions that stand out compared to nearby ramen places. The restaurant even offers mochi if guests share food on social media.
