Otani Noodle - Uptown

The udon and ramen bowls we got were good. The only reason my rating is lower is because online they have a full sushi menu, which looked really good and had good prices. However, when we got to this location, they clearly served noodle bowls only. That wasn't really what I was in the mood for as I'd already decided what sushi rolls I wanted. The lady who took our order and gave us our food was extremely friendly. I just wish they would update their website.

I came in as the Ramen affectionado from out of town, looking for "excellent" ramen, and this place did not disappoint. Nestled on the strip in Uptown Cleveland, I found parking easily, and felt safe on my way to the restaurant. The locals were pleasant. Entering the restaurant I appreciated the feel of the decor. The workers demonstrated very wholesome, family-like hospitality. I ordered a Spicy Tonkotsu with a side of Pork Belly. Everything was cooked to perfection, it was spicy, but not overbearing; flavorful, without being overwhelming. I would definitely visit again. As a bit of a connoisseur (sp?), I will house-hop the Ramen places of the area, but I can easily see that while I'm in town, this is likely to be my Ramen House home.

Great place. My #1 noodles on the west side. Place could use a little sprucing up but I still give it 5 statts because its the best noodles on the west side. Did I mention the front door needs servicing? Oh, did I mention the best noodles on the west side? 😁 Seriously they dont even have a trash can. But thats because they clean up after you! Yes, no kidding, best noodles on the west side.

We visited on a Wednesday afternoon for a late lunch in mid-April 2025. The place was completely empty. It was the weird time after lunch but before dinner. We had just checked into our hotel and walked to go get food. We placed our order online for instore pickup. We arrived and got everything no problems. The restaurant was nicely decorate it was just weird cause it was completely empty. They keep the soup broth separate when you do takeout which is nice so the noodles don't get soggy. We were also able to reheat the broth in the hotel microwave too. It was a cold day and the 15 min walk back chilled a lot of the food. If we knew it was going to be empty, we would've brought the kids and eaten in the restaurant. We ordered the pork belly ramen, char-sui ramen, pork tonkatsu ramen and kids miso soup ramen. The pork belly was just okay. It was really thick cut and some of it was a bit dry. The char-sui was the way to go. One of my kids was sad that they didn't have the additional tonkatsu sauce for his pork cutlet in his ramen. The picky youngest ate his miso soup ramen no questions asked. All the broths were very thick and rich. We would definitely eat from here again. There w

It was pretty decent, but some of the dishes left a bit to be desired. Service was fast and polite, and the restaurant itself felt fairly clean. I got the Char Siu, the vegetable spring rolls, the teriyaki wings, and the gyoza. The Ramen dish was definitely the best part, if only just a little plain in flavor. The gyoza and spring rolls were good for appetizers. The teriyaki wings I felt could have been better - something about their texture was off putting - they just felt a little too soft.
