Order The Best Ramen In The World From This Colorful Hole-In-The Wall Restaurant In Springfield, Ohio
When you’re craving a bowl of hot, steamy, spicy, slurpy ramen in Ohio, where do you go? The Buckeye State isn’t exactly known for its global cuisine (though we do have one of the best international markets in the country), but there are some truly amazing exceptions that prove it’s all about quality over quantity. In Springfield, Speakeasy Ramen is a colorful hole-in-the-wall restaurant that makes some of the best ramen in Ohio.
Hot broth. Noodles. Some veggies and perhaps a protein or two. What is it about this combination that's so heartwarming and soul satisfying?
Once inside, big, bold decisions await. Will you order a hot and spicy bowl of Szechuan Noodles? Speakeasy Ramen swears this dish cures all: colds, hangovers, even a case of the Mondays!
The Tonkotsu Ramen is this Ohio restaurant's signature dish: this special is prepared with savory bone marrow broth and topped with local pork belly, a soy brined soft boiled egg, narutomaki, beech mushrooms, nori, corn, bok choy, and scallion. Like it spicy? Ask for the house-made Szechuan oil on the side (see the previous photo) for $1!
If you'd like to mix it up, you can order a delicious spread of sushi or something really unique, like the Spicy Japanese Beef Curry: slow-braised brisket with Japanese curry, carrots, and potatoes served over sticky rice and topped with a halved tea egg topped, fried onion, and scallions. Mmm!
While winter days were certainly made for a hot bowl of noodles, this Ohio restaurant's ramen is so delicious that you'll find yourself craving it all year long... and nothing beats a summer night slurping hot ramen surrounded by twinkle lights!
