Ani Ramen - Montclair

This is my go to place for Ramen. Before it moved, the food was amazing and the portions were just right for the price. But after it moved, the pork belly size cut down to half. That was a disappointment since the best part of eating ramen is the pork belly and noddles, but the food is still good. When you get to the location. Always expect for it to be busy when it’s lunch or dinner rush. Sometimes the host will ignore you completely until they are settled in. Overall, this place is a good place to eat and enjoy music.

Just don't go here. I went here for lunch and my wife had the miso spicy ramen and I had to shoyu ramen both were subpar. we had also the miso crispy wings. they were passable but nothing that will bring us back. also, we ordered the usual lemonade and ramune but turns out but when we ordered they had nothing but sodas and the cheap seltzers you get from Target lol.

I just love their food. We ordered Shoyu ramen, chef’s special ramen, Panko shrimp bao buns, shishito peppers. Shiahito peppers was average, but the rest was amazing. Usually this place is packed, it’s always good to make reservations. The staff is very friendly and sweet. Yes, you can carry your own drink (BYOB). Parking could be an issue since it’s in the main road and the road is busy.

The food was amazing. Everyone at our table finished every last drop of their Ramen. We had wings and bao buns for our appetizers and they were really really good. I gave 4 stars because as far as cleanliness, the table was really sticky when we sat down and they served us tap water but the glasses smelled like egg. Other than that, enjoyable experience.

Ani Ramen is PHENOMENAL! This restaurant is consistently packed… and now I see the exact reason why. The atmosphere is so unique, the staff is kind and caring, and the food.. well just try it out yourself because you won’t be disappointed! I’m sure anyone who goes to this restaurant will have an amazing experience.
