Strings Ramen Shop Madison

Decent ramen soup with nice environment. However, the bowl is small which is, in general, not enough for a man. Their water is not tap water but taste okay.

First time here, and YOU have to go! The restaurant is very welcoming and charming. Amazing food and service. The Hell Ramen is so great. If you like spicy, you have to try it. IT WAS FIRE!! We will be back again!

The quality of Ramen is decent. A bit over priced though (by 10~20% in my opinion). But the dish size is too tiny in my opinion. I felt hungry about two hours after having it. It will be more worth it if they increase the size by 20~30%.

This ramen chain serves up some consistently tasty ramen dishes. They have a small and focused menu that is essentially just Ramen. The Tonkotsu is a pork broth ramen, while the Miso has a base just like the Miso soup you get from Japanese restaurants. The Hell Ramen is the spicy stuff. Once you get to level 4+, you'd better ready your body and mind as this stuff is no joke (and I'm a chili head of sorts). I had the Spicy Clam and Pork ramen and the Kuro ButaMiso ramen. You can't go wrong with either. I think the ramen from Yatagarasu right down the street is a bit better, but this place is a close second.

Heavenly ramen, horrible manners. This place serves the best ramen on Purdue campus and is par with some of the famous ramen places I have been to in Chicago, New York and Boston. The food is easily customizable and the staff is willing to do so as well. The ambience is just great and the place is never overcrowded. The only problem is after a great dinner filled with great conversations with your family, the server comes with a check and asks for 18 or more tip because itwas a table of 5. This is fine, since we have a practice of giving similar tip where we enjoy food. I was paying for the whole family, because I was proud of this place and I didn 't want them to know how much the whole experience costs. Butthe server...ah..Server announced loudly, So with 18 tip, the total comes to 94.55. To this day, I don 't understand, why they had to announce the tip and the total like that. I was not planning to look at the total and make a run forthe door. In the best of the restaurants, they always pass the check discreetly to the person who is paying. I was there with my family paying for everyone, which should give a hint that the total doesn 't need to be announced. So, I hopethat Strings doesn 't do this anyone else. As for me, I am not going back.
