Sheng Ramen Ballantyne - Ramen restaurant in Charlotte - 15201 John J Delaney Dr B, USA

Good food and welcoming staff. The ramen was filling and hearty. The buns were also good. Restaurant was clean and very well maintained. I definitely recommend this restaurant.

I ordered the tonkotsu ramen and added the chili paste. It was extremely delicious. The broth is rich with yummy ingredients, and the chili paste was hot but added a great flavor. The only downside was that the restaurant had a very strong smell of natural gas. Otherwise, very clean and nice atmosphere.

This place is good with good service. Our server was understating and recommended some good dishes for 1st timer visit. Quantity was big so my partner and I shared noodle bowl. Overall 4/5 ⭐️

Honestly I don't love to give this type of reviews but my partner and I know a lot (flavor wise) and are very much in love with ramen and we have tried many places around Charlotte and honestly this is the most basic place we have tried, even though it looks very yummy, the pork belly of our ramen and buns was definitely overcooked or as my partner says it seems frozen, and it could be noticed because the texture was not as it regularly it is in many places that melts in your mouth, it was kinda hard, the flavor of the broth was not at all surprising either, It kinda seems like a cheap brand like those that come in powder (and you mix with water) that you can buy at the stores, although I enjoy the noodles a bit, no real opinion about the toppings because many are simple like they only need to be placed on the plate, no preparation need you know; It should be noted that the 2nd course came along with the appetizer so I can assume (for not say that I’m sure) that they do everything pretty quick and without much attention to detail (like slow cook or some preparation from the scratch, etc.) The waitress was kind when she receive us but she was rushing us a lot with the fact of ordering (we asked her for some time (to read and make decisions) and she came back almost immediately from that), also she didn't check/ask if our dishes were okay after a while of having brought them I honestly think it's a place that still lacks a lot of work, the work environment feels forced, dirty dishes and glasses stacked near the bathrooms, cheap decoration, the way they take orders and even the possible preparation of the food, maybe it's a lack of staff (?) Idk 🤷 I was happy to think about having a ramen place close to home but I ended up very disappointed, not even the lids of the containers sealed well and all the broth came out in the bag so we threw away the leftovers, anyway thinking about repeating the dish was not our ideal option… Honestly and sadly I would recommend anyone to skip these place, I truly don’t know if it was the day, the season or what but for now and until they don’t put more affection and effort into this place, it's not worth it 😔

This Tonkotsu ramen was amazing!! You can tell the chef put a lot of passion into this broth. It’s the best ramen I ever had. The presentation was also beautiful and appreciated. I will be returning and telling my friends and family about this place!

The food was amazing, the service spot on. I will be back when we are in town and recommend to friends!!! Thank you!!!

Excellent... Must go. Being from NYC, I've had the opportunity to eat ramen in some very good Japanese owned restaurants. This place is great. Small restaurant, big menu, very nice staff, good pricing. Looking forward to my next visit. UPDATE: second visit just as good as first. UPDATE: 5 or 6th visit (with take out in-between). Still excellent

Great ramen! We've eaten here a couple times and it always hits the spot. It's usually crowded on the weekends.
