We arrived at the restaurant at 8:10 and told the restaurant we could take the booth . Our. Server was very helpful and was going to clean off the table, Taylor jumped in and was very rude to us and stop us from getting the table. She said we are not allowed to take the booth as it was reserved at 9:30. There might be a better way to deal with situation like this , but lacking of training is a lesson for the restaurant owner. As far as how the food tastes , you already lose the appetite. Horrible experience!, By the way, the octopus was burned, it is definitely not acceptable. This is an insult to call yourself an Asian restaurant club.

This new Asian fusion restaurant had a beautiful dining room with lovely wall paintings. Their service was fast and friendly. WiFi was fast. However, I was not able to enjoy their “Japanese” food. I ordered the pork and tofu buns duo and their signature pork ramen. Everything tasted interesting with fresh ingredients, but honestly it was a bad fusion of American and Asian cuisine. My buns were too sour because of the pickled radish. The ramen broth was flavorful, but I did not like the way that they put a lot of toasted broccoli in a ramen bowl. Besides, the bbq pork had too much greasy fat. I understand they would like to make the taste more like American favorites, but I could not agree with the weird taste as a ramen lover.

Good food. The place is not Thai, it is not a good atmosphere. The staff is not very prepared.

Belle, our server was so nice and courteous. The food was excellent and the tatami room experience was cool too. My favorites were the Gyoza and Fungus Amongus.

The ramen here is really good! The service is always great and the food comes out in a timely manner. The space itself can feel a little cold but still comfortable. They offer alcoholic beverages including sake (hot and cold) as well as wine and beer options. If you’re looking for quality ramen give Ampersand a try!

I’ve been to the Westerville location twice. The food and cocktails are delightful! The servers are friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere is a lively yet chill vibe. All of the ingredients for their specialty cocktails are made fresh and in-house. The best part of the meal was the crab rangoons…they are a little orgasm for your tastebuds!!

Hands down the best ramen I’ve had in Columbus! I ordered the pork tonkotsu with the spicy heat level, and it was incredible. I was a little unsure about the broccoli at first, but the charred flavor totally won me over—it added such a unique touch. The pork was cooked to perfection—crispy on the outside yet melt-in-your-mouth tender.
Also, don’t sleep on the taro bubble tea! It was so refreshing and had that just-right sweetness. Definitely a must-try!

Names and look of the dishes seem Asian but not the taste. The Misu soup was far from what I knew. Don't know why they listed it as Misu soup. Not sure if I would dine here again.

We visited Ampersand last night and we really enjoyed the experience. The service was fantastic and the food was excellent. We look forward to our next visit.
Friendly staff, clean store, great drinks and food was awesome! Don’t hesitate to try if you’re in the Asian mood!

The bubble tea is not good. It’s flavorless and took forever to get. Not worth $8 for boba.

Cozy Ramen Eatery sitting in an unassuming part of the Short North.
My party booked the tatami room and were given excellent service by our waitress.
The ramen had good flavor and body, the portion was acceptable for the price, and the drinks were also excellent.

Chill place to grab Ramen in Columbus, worth a visit! The pork belly is on point! Thank you, guys!!

I had the fungus among us, it was very good! The lavender tea was perfect for the cold evening. The fries were really good too, and the waitress made sure to tell us all of the options that were vegan friendly so that was awesome!
