Meshikou
We are the Open Kitchen Ramen Shop, passionate about one thing, to be the Ramen Hot Spot of Columbus Ohio!
Meshikou is the combination of the Japanese phrase “meshi-ikou”. It’s used when friends invite each other to get some good food. So think of us as a place to gather with friends, slurp your noodles while hot (the proper way to eat ramen), and learn about this japanese comfort food.

Summer energy is settling in.
Cold drinks at the bar. Ramen hitting the table hot. Friends leaning in over full bowls. That first bite, that first sip, that “we should do this more often” kind of night.
Come through and start the season with us.

Crispy on the outside, savory on the inside, and even better with a dip of our house gyoza sauce.

Pro ramen move: don’t rush the broth.
When the noodles are gone, ask for kae-dama and keep slurping.

It’s okay. Sometimes the wings are the reason for the trip.
Crispy, sweet garlic soy, savory, and finished with a hint of Korean spice.

This Heritage Month, we’re honoring the traditions, stories, and communities behind the food we make.
Since opening in 2014 as Columbus’ first ramen restaurant, Meshikou has been rooted in a simple idea: to serve bowls made with care, intention, and respect for the traditions behind them.
Our broth remains at the heart of it all, simmered for hours and built from scratch as the foundation of every bowl.
Thank you for being part of our community.

For those who missed it:
The Chikin Sandwich is back on the menu at Meshikou.
A favorite from the Meshikou Chikin era, made with crispy fried boneless thigh on a brioche bun, topped with Kewpie mayo and pickle.
Back for the regulars, ready for the newcomers.

Why wavy noodles?
Their shape creates more surface area, helping broth cling to every strand and carry more flavor into each bite. That changes the flavor, the texture, and the way the whole bowl comes together.
Our pairing is intentional.
