I have been a loyal Ani customer for many years. I’ve been recently eating at the Maplewood location and I want to give a shout-out to Shanerlyn and Dennis. My familiy’s order can be a bit complex but they never fail to get it right. Not only does the food always come out perfect but the quality of the service is excellent!!! Great experience all around!

I love Ani Ramen. I’m not vegan but I have loved their vegan broth for several years. But alas, they have changed the recipe to something far more bland. The veggies and tofu were still great, but this new broth recipe is just mid. Bring back the old vegan broth pleeese

This is more for the owner. I love this place and the food but for some reason whatever is being used to clean the place makes it smell like a bathroom. If they change the cleaner and have it more like ramen smell it would be 5 stars.
