Kansas: Ramen Bowls
Lawrence
Popular noodle shop Ramen Bowls dishes up ramen inspired by the flavors of Honolulu's Chinatown, offering an amazingly broad selection of hearty options — from classic tonkotsu and shoyu to the house favorite post-rock beef ramen made with dry-aged marinated beef steak and a spicy miso topping for an extra kick. Even the broth and noodles are made in-house, including vegan and gluten-free options. Google reviewers say, "We keep coming back because it truly is the best ramen in the state" and "they got some good slurpin’ noodles."
