" My experience at Crafty Ramen was very good, though I had expected a little more based on the hype. The place was lively and had a nice ambiance. I tried the Dragon's Breath which had a unique flavor, but I found it more tangy than savory, which was not what I expected in ramen! The staff was super friendly and helpful, and the food came out quickly. Overall, I think I would give it another chance! " (*Curated Review*)

" Visiting Crafty Ramen was an exciting experience for me! The atmosphere really captured the essence of a ramen shop. I ordered the Vegan Mapo Tofu and was impressed. The flavors mingled well together, and I appreciated the variety they offered. My friends got different ramen dishes, and they looked amazing too! The service was quick, and the staff was friendly. Although the prices are a bit higher than average, the quality makes it worth it. I will definitely return! " (*Curated Review*)

" Crafty Ramen is an interesting place with its own twist on traditional ramen. I ordered the Vegan Mapo Tofu and loved the texture and flavors, though it was a bit salty for my taste. The atmosphere is lively and filled with energy, which I appreciated. The service was efficient, but not overly attentive. Despite small portions, I found the overall experience enjoyable, and I could see myself returning for more to explore their unique offerings. " (*Curated Review*)

" I am absolutely in love with Crafty Ramen! The last time I went, I ordered the Vampire Slayer Ramen. It was everything I hoped it would be: an explosion of flavor! I also had the Togarashi fries, and they were a perfect addition to my meal. The service was exceptionally friendly and welcoming—it felt like I was visiting friends. The atmosphere was cozy and slightly bustling, ideal for a casual outing. I can’t recommend this place enough; it is truly a treasure in the city! " (*Curated Review*)

" So I had heard a lot of buzz about Crafty Ramen and finally decided to check it out. The ordering process was a bit different, as you pay at the counter first. I ordered the Kaizen Warrior and was looking forward to a flavorful experience. However, when I got my dish, it seemed a bit underwhelming. The broth was decent, but I expected a richer taste from a ramen place. Service wasn't bad, but it could use some improvement in attentiveness. Maybe I will give it another shot next time with different choices. " (*Curated Review*)

" Overall, Crafty Ramen was a pleasant experience. The food was delicious; I had the Spicy Negi Chicken, which was a bit salty but still enjoyable. The staff was friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere was lovely; I enjoyed the modern décor. My only issue was with portion sizes, which felt a bit lacking for the price paid. Still, I will likely return to try more options. " (*Curated Review*)

" My friend recommended Crafty Ramen, and I finally checked it out! First off, I loved the open kitchen concept; it gave a nice vibe to the place. I tried the famous Kaizen Warrior with tofu, and it was alright; I found it slightly on the salty side. The ambiance was lively, and the employees were attentive and welcoming. I think I’ll come back to try other ramen varieties, as I’ve heard great things about their vegan options. Excited to see if my next visit is better! " (*Curated Review*)
