For my birthday, I was happy to try this place out since this location was close to home. Columbus is slowly becoming the place for all things foodie and geeky and I love that for us! This place is located on the 1280 W 5th Street and Northwest Blvd. There is parking in the front, and the restaurant is small and cozy. The seating is for parties of 4 to 5 but arrangements can be made so talk to a server. The menu offered everything from drinks, small place to ramen and I wanted to try more. We got the salt and pepper shrimp, the Kyushu Karaage (Japanese fried chicken), Hot tea and Takoyaki for a group of 5. Everything was piping hot and delicious and lightly seasoned to bring out the flavors of the overall dish. The servers were sweet and extremely helpful for explaining what things were and me, being a ramen nerd, could sit back and relax. I got the Kyushu Black Garlic Tonkotsu. It was so GOOD!! I love the taste of black garlic and the umami in the dish was so pleasant. The noodles were chewy, and the pork slices were so tender. The Tendernism! IYKYK. 5 stars for a great birthday meal that did not break the bank. Well, my friend covered my bill. :)

Super crowded with a 20-30 minute wait time today - and for good reason! The food was so fresh and…read moredelicious. I spent my time waiting browsing Japanese magazines on either side of the restaurant. We were able to get a table just a couple minutes before our food came out. Despite the crowd, I didn't see anyone not have a seat once their food arrived. Maybe half of the clientele was Japanese, which is always a great sign for authenticity. Getting one full meal and one bowl to split between 2 people was the perfect amount to enjoy a full meal and still have enough leftovers for 1 later. My partner was not a big fan of the shredded daikon in the #2 combo -- it has a very strong flavor and distinct texture -- but I enjoyed it in combination with the sauces, sides, and salad. I will definitely be coming back to try more of the menu, probably on a slower weekday, fingers crossed.

Pretty good spot for tonkatsu. Tastes freshly fried to order - hot and crispy. We liked the sets so…read moreyou could also have soup and pickled veggies. The sesame seeds on the side was a nice touch but after a minute of pounding away for crushed sesame, the seeds were still whole. The tonkatsu meat was not evenly made as some of the edges were overfried as compared to the well fried middle portions. The restaurant is smaller and self-serve. Pickup order and drop off trays when complete.

I feel like since this place opened, the management needs to get their service in order…read more It appears that the servers are stretched way too thin. The sushi is about a 4 out of a 5, which is pretty good for Ohio. I have to say that the bento box during the week lunch special was a pretty freaking phenomenal deal. We'll give it another try because of the sushi was so good but please please please get the service in order.

The food wait time was longer than I thought it would be. The sushi chefs sat down a lot on the floor behind the bar. The miso truffle udon is also a hard pass, both of us were instantly unsatisfied from the first bite. The Rangoon tarts were flavorful but 2 were cold and one was hot. The dragon roll I had though I was a big fan of. The crispy California roll was not it for us either. Overall it is just a mid sushi place, I can't say either of us will be back.

We got lost in conversation and she checked in on us appropriately, and we finally got our choices in. The menu is expansive - sushi and ramen, and variety of broths and flavors. I opted for the Karaage Ramen - and added some of the spice powder - and it was delicious. It's definitely different from what I have had elsewhere - but the variety in flavors and offerings is a definite win. Opted for the toasted rice tuna tartare app - it was nice with a little kick. He had a Togo order as well with the bao buns, everything looked amazing, and the flavors are awesome, so it's getting out into lunch rotation!

There's a big community table inside for multiple small parties or a couple bigger ones, some 2 seaters, and a couple other seating options. It's a small, cozy, inviting, restaurant but they also have the option to rent their space out for small parties! We got some drinks to try and they were so very good! They were made well, balanced, and creative. The flavors they offered were very good and unique. We got their Pork Xiao Long Bao, small Chicken Karaage, and Pepper Tuna to start. The XLB was good but not memorable, flavorful and small bites. The Pepper Tuna was also pretty good but I would probably only get again if I was craving. Their Karaage was phenomenal, very flavorful, crispy, and made well. We really enjoyed this appetizer. We got the Tan Tan Men and Seafood Ramen. The Tan Tan Men was delicious, made well, umami, flavorful, and fulfilling. I think the broth was delicious and everything paired well together. I would recommend this dish. The Seafood Ramen was good but, I didn't feel the seafood was too memorable and the flavor was very light. I wish their ramen had a bit more topping variety but overall, made well and delicious. Staff was nice! They were a bit busy and didn't check in as often but they were nice and walked around. They answered a couple questions we had in the beginning and we're accomodating. I recommend Kirin for small groups, a casual date, delicious food, and very good vibe. I think they have a fun and delicious spin on classic and traditional dishes. I will be coming back!

It was $16, but I thought maybe it's a larger roll. I was told 20 minutes. They were still busy at almost 7 pm. I stood inside out of the way to wait. I browsed in the adjoining Tensuki Market, but didn't go far because I didn't know how they would contact me when it was ready. It turns out they don't. I guess you have to go up and ask if your order is ready. I guess the freshness is the draw. The roll was larger than what I've had at every other sushi place. Unfortunately, I really wasn't blown away by the food, service, or prices.
