Good Fortune Co. builds ramen with a contemporary South Main sensibility, pairing composed broths and noodles with dumplings and shareable plates. The Memphis Flyer includes it in a citywide ramen survey, while Memphis Magazine places the restaurant in the Japanese field. Begin with a smaller plate before the bowl arrives, and consider a contrasting second broth when dining with someone willing to share.

FLAME RAMEN gives Union Avenue a focused noodle shop with several broth styles, adjustable additions, and a direct, casual format. The Memphis Flyer's roundup visits the restaurant as part of the city's growing ramen field. Choose the broth before loading on extras, since its seasoning and body should guide the bowl. A shared appetizer adds texture without obscuring the noodles and soup.

The Crazy Noodle approaches noodle soup through Korean flavors, offering warming bowls with substantial seasoning and a home-style Midtown personality. The Memphis Flyer covers it independently and includes it in the ramen roundup. Pick a soup that matches your tolerance for richness and spice, then add dumplings for contrast. Its Korean identity remains visible here through the same shared object used in that category.

SUBARASHI serves ramen in a compact Highland Street setting near the University of Memphis. The Flyer includes the restaurant in its direct comparison of local bowls, making it useful for understanding the city's newer noodle shops. Order a broth-led bowl before adding too many toppings, and use a small side to vary the texture. The straightforward format suits a focused lunch or casual dinner.

Kami Ramen Bar's East Memphis location offers several broths, noodles, rice dishes, and Japanese snacks in a polished casual room. The Memphis Flyer names Kami in its ramen roundup, and the current local brand operates two restaurants. Compare a creamy or deeply seasoned bowl with a lighter option when sharing, and keep the toppings selective so the broth remains the center of the meal.
