Umami · Lawrenceville
Umami brings the energy of a Japanese izakaya to an upstairs Lawrenceville space. Ramen shares the menu with yakitori, takoyaki, sushi, and late evening drinks, giving the bowls a broader bar-food context. Its broths and noodles show a playful approach to Japanese comfort cooking.
Ramen Bar · Squirrel Hill
Ramen Bar offers a broad range of bowls from its Forbes Avenue storefront, including shoyu, miso, tonkotsu, seafood, and vegetarian options. Diners can adjust richness through toppings and pair ramen with dumplings or rice dishes. The restaurant is an established part of Squirrel Hill's Japanese dining scene.
Yuzu Kitchen · Downtown
Yuzu Kitchen serves ramen and Asian-influenced comfort food in a narrow Downtown dining room. Its bowls combine slow-cooked broth, noodles, pork or other proteins, and layered garnishes, while the larger menu extends to bao and rice plates.
Kyuramen · East Liberty
Kyuramen’s East Liberty room centers on generous bowls of ramen in a Penn Avenue plaza. The menu spans Kyushu shio, Tokyo shoyu and Hokkaido miso styles, so choose a broth direction before adding sides. This specific storefront sits across from Target and offers booth-like dining nooks for a longer noodle meal.
Asahi Ramen · Brookline
Asahi Ramen brought a ramen-focused kitchen to Brookline Boulevard in 2026, taking over the former Oak Hill Post storefront. Its Japanese noodle bowls are the reason to visit. The neighborhood setting makes it a straightforward stop for a warming meal; check the current menu for broth and topping choices rather than assuming a particular bowl remains available.
