The absolute, closest you will come to authentic ramen in the Aiken area. The service was average, but the food and appetizers are really on point. This is more of a tapas style restaurant, food comes in small bowls, except for the delicious ramen. The only ding that I gave, was no beer or liquor license and we had to drink soft drinks and tea with our meal. Other people had glasses and bottles of wine, and when we asked, they said it was BYOB until they got their liquor license. I would love to see sushi here. I highly recommend Red Door.

My first time having Ramen and it was fabulous. This is my new favorite restaurant. The Ramen had the most incredibly rich flavour. The service was excellent. The price was very well aligned with food, service and ambiance ... not at all high. I will be back! Shout-out to Alexandrea who is helping change the culinary offerings in Aiken, one restaurant at a time.

To summarize - it's about time we got a restaurant of this caliber in downtown.I've had a few bowls of ramen from different places, and gyoza from everywhere I've been that serves it.The gyoza is unique, but in the best possible way. Absolutely delicious, and if you leave this restaurant without trying it you're doing yourself a disservice.Most ramen around here has been severely underwhelming, leaving something to be desired.The ramen here is the first I've had in a restaurant in several years that didn't leave that unscratched itch. It was absolutely phenomenal, the broth was beautiful, the soy egg was delicious, everything was pretty much as perfect as it can be.This is the second time we've been here and I can say with complete certainty that we will be back, many times.Almost forgot!The service, during opening week, was so fast. All of their staff are friendly, amazing, and attentive.A few weeks later and the traffic has slowed, and they're even more exceptional this time. They have a great team that seems passionate about the restaurant and that always shows in a fantastic way.

This was the second time we've come here, once for opening day and once a couple weeks later. Both times, we were absolutely blown away! The food is INCREDIBLE and the service is top notch. They don't have a liquor license yet, but you can byob (beer and wine only) with no corking fee. The apps are inventive and delicious, and the Ramen is as good as what I had in japan. I HIGHLY recommend the gyoza, it's fabulous. If I could give higher than 5 stars I would!!

We decided to try this new restaurant downtown. This is a good addition to the food scene in Aiken. The prices aren't too bad and the food is great. The flavors are strong and delicious. We shared a bao before our ramen came out. It had pineapple and seaweed, it was a great sweet and salty treat. The food came out quick and the service was very attentive. The decor is nice and the interior of the restaurant was clean. There is seating at the bar and table seating. The restaurant is located in downtown Aiken, which means it is close to most events in town. I will definitely return.

Good new addition to Aiken. As many other reviews have said, the one downside was the portions. I got spring rolls ($16) and bao buns ($16) and it was less food than a happy meal. The spring rolls should be $7-8 and the bao buns maybe $10-12 based on the size and ingredients IMO. My husband got the Ramen and was a much better bang for your buck IMO. We will likely be back and I’d like to try some different things but will not be regulars. The food we had was good and the service was great!
Good & way more authentic than the ramen at Phoramenal in downtown Augusta & tastes easy better! I tried the pork, but next time I'm getting the chicken to try it out too! The shrimp boa bind are tasty too! The staff was friendly and kind and knowledgeable on the

Food was good, no liquor license though so that was a little disappointing. We got the duck spring roll special and was shocked at how TINY they were (think a baby weiner compared to a grown man) and for $20!! They charge $2 for chili oil for the ramen… wasn’t super happy about that since there was no mention of an upcharge. I won’t be back but I did my due diligence in trying it and supporting local.

We had a wonderful time. Excellent service and everything was delicious. The curry chicken was delicious.Really enjoyed our dinner.
Food was excellent, servers were friendly and had experience with the menu for such a new restaurant. Price is very much on the high side for the portions that you are given. When we saw the prices when we ordered we expected to leave full. It was quite the contrary. I ordered the pork ramen bowl and my wife ordered the chicken potstickers, meal (cannot remember the exact name). She was given 5 potstickers that tasted excellent but at 16 dollars for what would be an appetizers at any other restaurant it was very disappointing. The pork ramen bowl was excellent as well but somewhat the same story, portion size did not match the 21 dollar price tag. Overall the food is excellent but $70 with no alcohol to leave hungry is just not acceptable.
