" What an incredible find! I stumbled upon Wooden Ladle while visiting Erie, and it was the highlight of my trip. The tonkotsu ramen was fantastic, rich in flavor and the noodles were just right. The atmosphere felt cozy and inviting. Our server was extremely knowledgeable and attentive, making recommendations that didn't disappoint. The matcha crème brûlée was a delightful ending to the meal. I can't wait to return! " (*Curated Review*)

The excellent service made the meal even better; our server was engaging. Would love to see more items on the menu, though! I'll be back to try out more dishes! " (*Curated Review*)

" I’ve been to many ramen places, and this one is definitely among the top. The broth was flavorful, with a great balance; the ingredients were fresh, and the atmosphere was cozy, making it a perfect spot for cold weather. Although it was a bit busy during my visit, the staff remained attentive and friendly. The only minor downside was that the portions could be slightly larger according to my taste. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a mixed experience at Wooden Ladle. The decor and atmosphere were lovely, making for a pleasant dining experience. However, I found the ramen not quite what I expected—the broth was flavorful but a bit salty for my taste, and the noodles lacked the usual bounce. On a positive note, the service was exceptional. I feel they have immense potential and may visit again to give it another shot. " (*Curated Review*)

" An enchanting little spot for ramen lovers! I indulged in a spicy miso ramen, and it definitely hit the spot. The service was delightful, providing friendly help with the menu. I appreciate the cozy atmosphere and will certainly be visiting again. " (*Curated Review*)

" After hearing so much buzz about Wooden Ladle, I finally made my way there, and it did not disappoint! The setting was unique—part house, part restaurant—which made for an inviting atmosphere. I opted for the chicken karaage and beef gyudon. Both dishes were flavorful and satisfying. The highlight was the wonderful service; my server was attentive without being overwhelming. Highly recommend for anyone looking for delicious, authentic Japanese food. " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently tried Wooden Ladle and I was blown away by the flavors! I ordered the spicy miso ramen and it packed a great punch. The service was quick and polite, making the whole experience enjoyable. The only issue was that the seating was a bit cramped, which made it feel a little less intimate than I would have liked. However, I would still recommend this place to anyone looking for great ramen. I plan to visit again! " (*Curated Review*)
