What locals are saying
Poke Burri / Lifting Noodles Ramen has earned a loyal West Ashley following since debuting in late 2021 as the first tenant of the historic Victory Building, holding a strong 4.6 Google rating across 366+ reviews and ranking #9 of 119 sushi spots in Charleston. Regulars consistently praise the creative, fresh-made dual concept — customizable poke bowls, sushi burritos, ramen, and a popular secret menu — and call out genuinely friendly, accommodating staff. The main friction points are paid/limited parking around the Savannah Hwy location and occasional feedback that protein portions in bowls run light for the price.
On socials
TikTok creators call Lifting Noodles the 'best ramen spot in Charleston,' rating the broth 10/10 and the ramen itself 20/10 — one video caption says it's 'finally' the ramen Charleston has been missing. Across TikTok and food blogs, the secret menu is a constant hook: sushi corndogs get the loudest reactions ('say what?! They are DELICIOUS!'), sushi donuts (especially spicy tuna) draw repeated praise for creative presentation, and the oversized sushi burrito is called a new craving. Poke bowls — particularly the Super Bowl with salmon and the Tangy Crab and Shrimp — get solid love, with occasional gripes about wanting more protein. The overall vibe posts lean into the word 'gem' (Avondale gem) and 'worth your money.'
