About Flame Ramen

Let me put you onto Flame Ramen, a cozy ramen restaurant sitting at 1838 Union Ave, Memphis, TN 38104, where comfort food meets serious flavor and an easygoing neighborhood vibe. When you walk in, it feels relaxed and welcoming, the kind of place where you can slow down, scan the menu, and already smell something rich simmering in the kitchen. Flame Ramen focuses on bold broths, satisfying noodles, and thoughtful options, so whether you are craving a quick bite or planning to hang out over a full meal, it fits the moment. I like how flexible the experience is, because you can dine in, grab takeaway, or use delivery when you want that ramen fix at home, and there is also outdoor seating for those days when Memphis weather is on your side. The menu leans into variety, offering comforting bowls alongside vegan and vegetarian options, plus halal food that makes the space feel inclusive and intentional. On lighter days, the salad bar and small plates work well, while heartier moods call for a steaming bowl that actually fills you up. Drinks are part of the fun here too, with beer, cocktails, wine, and spirits available, and happy-hour food and drinks that make stopping by after work an easy decision. Flame Ramen also feels practical, since no-contact delivery and kerbside pickup are available when time is tight, but the atmosphere still rewards you for staying and enjoying the meal. Overall, Flame Ramen comes across as confident and approachable, blending comfort, quality, and convenience in a way that feels natural, not forced, and it keeps locals and first-time visitors coming back for more flavorful moments. As someone introducing the spot, I appreciate how the staff keeps service friendly and efficient, balancing quick bites with a relaxed pace, so every visit feels easy, social, and repeatable without losing that handcrafted ramen focus.

Real good freshly prepared food. Everything we tried was fantastic. Friendly and attentive service. Forgot to take photo of the shrimp Yakisoba, but very good and big portion.

We visited for dinner and had a great experience. We truly enjoyed our meal, and the fries were especially delicious. Our server, Dewi, provided excellent customer service and was very friendly. We will definitely continue to visit Flame Ramen on Union Ave whenever we’re craving ramen.

I would leave 6 stars if I could. The food here is authentic and delicious, and the ingredients are obviously fresh. The inside is immaculate, and the decor is incredibly cute—there was clearly a lot of thought put into it. The serving staff went above and beyond—when one of the items we ordered was taking a while to make, they added in a complementary slice of cheesecake. Overall, I was very pleased with my experience and will certainly come back next time I’m in Memphis.

Great place. The setting is traditional Japanese style. Service was great. Only reason I didn’t mark the food 5 stars is my daughter didn’t like the chicken in the chicken fried rice.
