It makes the whole experience even better! This is definitely a go-to spot for sushi, ramen, and teriyaki. The service is always incredible, and the staff are so friendly and helpful every time I come in. I highly recommend checking them out if you're looking for a great, reliable place with delicious food and awesome vibes!

This is quite literally the worst sushi place I've been to in my recent memory; I can't believe…read morethere's people that think this spot is really good lol. The Seared Ahi appetizer we ordered was incredibly fishy, pungent, and clearly not fresh. Definitely the worst dish we ordered. Spring rolls were whatever. The 2 sushi rolls (Ocean Queen and Outstanding I think) were not good either, but not terrible. These were edible and a relief to eat after the Seared Ahi monstrosity. I was feeling nauseous, but my mom wanted to order an udon to offset the fishiness of the ahi. I told her it'd be a bad idea since I couldn't imagine the udon would be any good either, but she said "How can they mess up udon? It's an easy dish to make." Turns out, you can mess up udon. The noodles were overcooked and limp. At the end of the meal, I was queasy af and disappointed. It's not a super cheap place either, so we dropped like $120 on an abomination of a meal. Service was good though, and the servers were nice. I will not be coming back due to the food quality and taste, but the service and ambiance were solid.

I ordered a miso ramen and my parents ordered the tonkatsu ramen. As someone from the Bay Area, I was so surprised by the richness of the ramen and it definitely beats some of my usual spots. Each bowl was ~$15 and a smaller bowl, so would definitely advise getting an extra batch of noodles. The chashu is melt in your mouth tender. The broth wasn't very salty or over complicated itself with a burst of spices, but highlighted the simplicity of a good ramen, tasting the long simmer of the pork. My dad was honestly pretty pissed circling around the area for an hour for parking, but said it was all worth it, even waiting in a long line.

franchise chain with good ramen, but abysmal service…read more like many ramen shops, you pencil in what you want on a paper menu. i marked gyoza, extra noodles and a soda, all of which the waiter ignored when he came by. took the paper, made one highlight streak and apparently took my order in under 2 seconds w/o asking for confirmation. i had to sit and wait ~10 minutes before someone came by and asked if i needed something, by then the broth had already cooled before the kaedama. i gave up on asking for gyoza altogether. as someone who gets weekly ramen for years this was by far the worst service i've encountered

Came here because I had a gift card lying around and was desperately craving ramen. The last time I…read morewent to Kizuki was when I was in high school freshman year so it's been a hot minute. I don't remember what I ate at the time but I do remember Kizuki having pretty salty ramen, and that still holds up today. I know there is an option to order low sodium and/or order a clear broth to dilute it, but I completely forgot. I got the garlic tonkotsu ramen and it was super good! I can see why it's super popular. I will say I wasn't a fan of the jasmine milk tea, it was way too sweet while simultaneously too milky- otherwise everything was fine. The waiters were polite and lenient with my preferences and gave excellent service, no complaints there. I came in on a Tuesday or Wednesday at 2:00 ish by myself, so it wasn't crowded. I can't say for weekends but judging by other reviews the waitlist can take a while (not sure if it's different if you come on a weekend but by yourself). There were some people there hanging out over ramen and some people working on their laptops, so it was the perfect environment to get work done (not sure if wifi is free though) and/or chat with friends without having to raise your voice. Overall I rate four stars; good food, good service, and an okay drink. I packed up the broth for home and mixed the leftover with instant ramen, it was delicious!

Prices range from $15-$17.50. Also ordered the hot house sake $8.50 and a cold beer $6.50. Alan was our server and Hiro also welcomed us. There's something both warm and elegant -- welcoming -- about the interior decor. Kept looking at the murals and Wood wall art while waiting to be seated. Everything was fantastic except my friend left a special present that she received from me behind accidentally. Update: we called staff and with great thoroughness they even checked and confirmed that we had actually left with the gift box, and with that we were able to confirm that we would have left it at the next venue we went to for dessert. With relief we found it and grateful to Alan for reaching out and letting us know so we could continue our search more fruitfully. Such an excellent experience with the staff at this store. (Thank you Hiroto the caring and supportive follow up!)

Typically I don't give 5 stars easily but the service and friendliness of the staff was overall a 5 star experience. Shane was the person at the reception and the wait staff. Really friendly and courteous saying hi to guests, as well as the little ones. Back to the food- the pork belly had the right thickness and was slightly roasted providing extra flavor vs some other ramen pork belly I had that is very bland or just flat. The broth was very delicious, not too salty like other tonkatsu broth I have had. The cooked and marinated bamboo shoots were very flavorful as well. My favorite is the kimchi which I paired it with every bite of the noodles and pork slices. Soooo good. You could ask for Alexa kimchi too. I also appreciate the warm barley tea. I love supporting moms and pops business as such- high quality and overall a very pleasant experience. I look forward to be back to try something else. Thank you for such a satisfying meal at the end of a long week.

The broth is consistently rich and flavorful, and everything just feels well balanced and satisfying. It's one of those places where you don't have to second guess your order because you already know it's going to hit. Honestly, it sets the bar pretty high and makes a lot of other ramen spots feel pretty underwhelming in comparison. Just a really solid, reliable place that keeps me coming back.

Tan Tan: The broth for Tan Tan tasted clean and not greasy as it does not contain meat. It had a spicy kick to the broth which I loved. There were 4 shrimps that were perfectly cooked, not dry. Spicy Miso: the broth also had a kick to it. This broth was a bit thicker than Tan Tan's as the ramen contains meat. It wasn't greasy and salty. Shoyu: this broth is the thickest and heaviest. A bit greasy but not too greasy. All ramen weren't salty and were delicious even for non-ramen lover like myself. We will be back!

Nestled behind the main walking areas, you can follow the street signs to this restaurant. We arrived just before they opened for the evening from 4:30pm. It is not a large restaurant but we were early. Bright and cheerful interior with shelves of Japanese sweets and some souvenirs on the side. Our favorite and go-to is the tonkotsu which has the thicker pork bone broth. We have not visited for a year or so and the price has gone up while the volume seemed to have gone down. Nevertheless the taste was great and we were satisfied with the meal.

The broth is consistently rich and flavorful, hitting that perfect balance you look for in a classic ramen spot. The Spicy Tan Tan is a standout if you want something with a bit of a kick it's savory, nutty, and has just the right amount of heat to make it satisfying without being overwhelming. On my last visit, I had the Arashi Ramen which was equally impressive; the flavors are deep and well-developed, showing a lot of care in the preparation. The best part about this place is the consistency. Whether you're looking for something spicy or a more traditional pork-based broth, you really can't go wrong with any ramen on the menu here. It's a reliable, no fuss spot that delivers exactly what you want when a ramen craving hits.
