Onsen Ramen

"Food is fantastic but showed up at 5 with a toddler and the place is way too crammed in to have a proper dinner so we ordered to go and sat in the car till it was ready. Was definitely not expecting such a small space to eat, I could not avoid hitting other patrons in the head with my butt while I made my way from the checkout counter to the door…very uncomfortable."

"I am by no means a ramen expert or enthusiast but I have been to around 10 different ramen places from LA, Boston, Montreal, NYC, and this is the best ramen I can remember having in recent years. The menu has only a few options but we got the chicken shoyu and the vegan spicy miso. We got a fancy seltzer and an awesome craft beer from Maine (which I had once before and loved). The ramen arrived within 10 minutes of us ordering and it was glorious. Flavor perfection in the broth and the noodles were so good. Lots of ramen shops take it too far and have way too many noodle types and broths. Onsen keeps it simple and they keep it good. If you like ramen or just enjoy a warm soup on a cold VT day this is a great dinner option. We drove over 25 minutes to get there and it was well worth it. My only complaint is they aren't open more days of the week. I can't wait to take visiting friends and family here."

"Don't walk but run to Onsen Ramen! This is by far one of the best restaurants in the Burlington area I have been to yet. The ingredients are authentic, fresh and delicious! The menu is smaller than you might expect but I would rather be at a restaurant with a handful of well executed dishes than a restaurant with a wide array of mediocre options. They also have a great list of shaved ice desserts which rotate frequently. I believe they are open seasonally and now is the time! Definitely don't pass up this restaurant?"

"Great selection of Ramen. Service is excellent, they were really considerate and made sure to bring out the kid's ramen first. The pork belly buns are way bigger than expected and worth it! Outside seating area is nicely laid out and variety of tables go choose from."

"It is an obviously chic and comfortable little space. The atmosphere is great and the service is efficient and friendly. You can tell the ramen is made with care, which I appreciate. I recommend this place for occasional and special dining, particularly for couples."
