" My visit to Menya Rui was nothing short of amazing! The ramen offered such depth, especially the pork variant. Although the place is small and it can get crowded, it adds to the charm. I truly felt like I was in an authentic Japanese ramen house. Can’t wait to come back again for another ramen fix! " (*Curated Review*)

" Tried the pork shoyu ramen and it was just okay for me. The broth lacked that depth of flavor that I was expecting. The dining area is pretty cramped, but that was alright because I was with friends. The wait was a bit too long when we went, and I think I would prefer a place with a larger menu variety next time. Not my favorite ramen joint, but I'll be back for the karaage! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a great little gem in St. Louis! The ramen was out of this world! We grabbed the pork shoyu and chicken karaage, which were both spectacular. This place truly captures the essence of real Japanese ramen shops. Sure, you have to queue, but it's all part of the experience! I definitely recommend it to anyone who really enjoys Japanese food! " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely love Menya Rui! Authentic ramen that takes me back to Japan! The tender pork and well-cooked noodles mixed with that mouthwatering broth was heavenly! I went during lunch, so wait was much shorter. I love how the space feels so intimate yet vibrant at the same time. Perfect for a rainy day meal! " (*Curated Review*)

" First time here and I loved it! The ramen was bursting with flavor, especially the broth. It felt like such a treat after a long day! The only downside was the long wait but hey, that's to be expected when a place is this good. I'll definitely be back for more, perhaps to try the tantanmen next time! " (*Curated Review*)

" Menya Rui has become a weekly treat for me! The ramen is unbeatable, especially the tantanmen. The service is usually quick, but don’t let the small size fool you; it's a bustling hub of flavor! My only gripe is that they don’t take reservations, which sometimes leads to a long wait, but honestly—once you get in, you forget all about it because the food is just that good! Total foodie haven! " (*Curated Review*)

" I can’t say enough good things about Menya Rui! From the moment I walked in, the inviting atmosphere made me feel at home. The pork ramen was simply heavenly, and the karaage was crispy and delightful. Honestly, it feels like stepping into a little piece of Japan every time I visit. A must-try for anyone who loves ramen!
