Delicious and refreshing yuzu shio ramen! Amazing vibes and friendly staff! Highly recommend if you're in the area and craving ramen!

Amazing food amazing atmosphere Amazing service! Amazing Amazing Amazing !!!!! Love it love it

My son and I decided to come and try Afuri's food. Let me tell you we were not disappointed. For starters we ordered some gyoza and steamed white rice...DELICIOUS!! Next we tried some of their delicious ramen Yuzu Ratan with gluten free noodles for me and Yuzu Shoyu for my son....AMAZING flavor. Overall this place didn't disappoint with their delicious food and awesome customer service. Not to mention the ambiance was very chill,and they played great music. Definitely recommend and we will be coming back.

I liked it. The ambience is nice and our server was very nice. Drinks were good too. I ordered the Yuzu Ratan and it was a good balance of light and flavor.

Dipping Ramen is my go to! Service is always top tier and the AC feels like heaven on those hot summer days. Lemonade might be the best I've ever had.

Great place and friendly staff. Ramen was delicious and the dipping sauce with it had great flavor. The inside gave good vibes. The cold beer was perfect on a hot summer day.

Stopped by for an early night dinner around 6:30pm on a midweek Wednesday prior to partaking in a rooftop wine and movie night. The summer menu was clutter free and easy to read (bonus points for it being trivia Wednesday) Everything arrived promptly. The karaage chicken was an incredibly delightful appetizer, and the lemon accompanying elevated the flavors to another level. The pork bun, though small, was a solid choice as was the hand roll.

Found Afuri while taking a stroll around the Arts district with a friend for a coffee popup and realized it had been sitting on my "try" list for a while. Seated immediately around 1:30 and food came out within 15 minutes. Spicy Scallop Handroll ($8): Sweet, well-proportioned, simple. Great app. Yuzu Tsuyu Tsukemen ($18): We happened to be walking on what seemed to be the hottest day of the summer, so cold citrusy dipping noodles matched our cravings perfectly. Pork was a bit on the leaner side where I prefer fatty, but the deliciousness of the sweet and salty dipping sauce with the noodles and sides eclipsed my preference completely. Will have to return to try their dumplings.

Considering I'm a very harsh reviewer of ramen and sometimes have a hard time differentiating it, I really enjoyed Afuri Ramen! Their Yuzu Shio was amazing, with a citrus spin on the broth; I want to return for more. All the ingredients on top were great, including the thin noodles. My only critique was that there wasn't enough chicken! There was only one slice so next time I need to order extra. They have a good-sized drink menu, and there are a lot of Asian drinks to pick from. After looking at the menu, we went with the Tori Kaarage which was crispy to perfection (Definitely a must) The service was great, too; the employee gave all their favorite recommendations and was completely honest about the menu, so the experience felt more genuine. Inside, the place is big, and there is bar seating as well.
