Ramen House · Irish Hill
The shop has left Mid City Mall for a South Spring Street room in Irish Hill. Bowls arrive with a firm noodle and a broth that has had time to sit, and the handmade gyoza and steamed buns are worth ordering alongside them.
Kiwami Ramen · Highlands
Long simmered pork broths in the old Cafe Metro space on Bardstown Road. The kiwami shiro is the signature bowl, with the shio close behind it. The room is small and gets loud, the broth is rich enough that one bowl is a full meal, and the line moves faster than it looks.
Hokkaido Ramen and Sushi · South Louisville
A New Cut Road counter. Toppings are customizable, so the bowl comes out the way you build it, over broths that carry real weight. Sushi shares the menu for anyone at the table who did not come for noodles. Unassuming strip mall room, serious kitchen.
hiko-A-mon · Westport Village
Chef Hiko's Kyoto rooted Japanese restaurant on Herr Lane, as good for its ramen bowls as for its fish. The sushi counter runs like a fish market, and the ramen gets the same attention. It sits in an East End shopping center that gives away nothing from the parking lot.
