I’m 78, travelled the world and these are the very best noodles and noodle dishes I have ever had. I doubt I will ever eat ramin or udon ever again. This is not a fancy sit down restaurant, it’s a Japanese noodle restaurant or social bar. The young lady receptionist/waitress was very welcoming and helpful. The cooks are hard working and friendly. The selection is somewhat limited but just the kind of meals you will want to try again and again. 一番 Ichiban. (# 1)
The best! Mentioned in Forbes Magazine.
Seriously obsessed after one bowl of ramen! Will be back soon!

Menya Rui is a lively and authentic ramen restaurant known for its exceptional noodles and dishes. The friendly and helpful staff create an engaging dining experience, working hard to serve a high volume of customers in the cozy and intimate atmosphere. The menu offers a variety of delicious options, including a popular original broth-less dish and the chicken karage.
Customers praise the restaurant's authenticity and excellent service, describing the noodles and dishes as the best they've ever had. The Tonkotsu soy sauce ramen has a slightly lower saltiness than Japanese ramen but is still rich, with chewy noodles. The Pork Shoyu was very good, with an incredibly deep, rich pork broth that perfectly highlights every ingredient. This level of ramen is rare to find in the Midwest.
The menu is not a traditional sit down restaurant. Customers order their food and have like 20 to 30min to eat then leave to keep the traffic moving. The food was AMAZING, including the tantanmen with broth and without broth. The space is small and clean, featuring shared tables and counter seating. Despite the high demand and long lines, customers are willing to wait patiently to enjoy the high-quality ramen, so get there early. The dining is dine-in only. There is limited parking in the small lot, but free parking is available on nearby side streets.
