About Us
Gaijin Ramen Shop is classified as an “Asian Fusion” restaurant because we combine different elements of many culinary traditions across Japan and other parts of Asia. The Japanese word Gaijin (??) means "foreigner," "non-Japanese", "outsider" or "different."
Our name represents our uniqueness- literally meaning “A Different Ramen Shop.” We serve sincere and wholesome ramen soup and sides. Our soup is cooked daily, with fresh meat bones and other ingredients. Our noodles are made fresh in house- not frozen, like most ramen shops. Our ramen has no MSG. Gaijin Ramen Shop is a quick service style restaurant where customers can order by choosing their ramen soup toppings and sides, and then either take their food “to-go” or dine-in.
Gaijin Ramen Shop has a vast selection of beer and saki- eat, drink, laugh and be happy with only the best!
