    Tonkotsu Classic Ramen
    Phillip D.

    Saw that they had a lunch special so I decided to give this place a try. The ramen is good and the place is clean. Service was great especially since we were the only ones there. Our lunch special came with a choice for drink or appetizer. I recommend getting the appetizer as the drinks are nothing to talk about. Lemonade taste like it was a powder mix and same with tea.

    It probably should had been a red flag that this ramen place was pretty empty and that there was not much of a line. I didn't have to wait for seating during peak dinner time and I was basically immediately seated. The menu is all on a QR code and there is a few options. It's not a build your own ramen per se since a lot of these are preconfigured. They do have extra toppings but bamboo is not an option. The ramen itself was not bad in terms of flavor but I would say the portion size is a bit small for the price. I could probably eat 2 in 1 sitting honestly. The interior of this place is not bad, lots of Naruto posters and pictures around to set the theme. They don't play it on TV though. Service isn't much since they give you the entire bottle of water to refill your own cup. The only thing they do for you is bring out your food or get you a napkin. Overall just okay, small portion, high cost, no bamboo as a topping, and just okay flavor. I would say there are better ramen shops but this would do in a pinch.

    My favorite out of black,red, white- white!

    Came in on a Tuesday evening, not too crowded and the waiter was very attentive. Takoyaki 8pc - yum! Would order again Black ramen - more pork flavored soup and not as garlicky White ramen - very garlicky and creamier. A award winning for a reason! Red ramen- nice spice to it I like the ramen flavors in this order : white , black, red. Bathroom is very clean and plenty of parking. They were very attentive with us especially with our daughter. Great experience and would def come back!

    Inside Kai ramen you'll find walls painted with anime characters, kind of giving the place a "fun" vibe. The service was alright, they were somewhat attentive but felt a bit rushed. The food was acceptable. We ordered several items: wings, takoyaki, ramen, and a curry dish. The wings and takoyaki were pretty good, the wings had a surprising crisp/crunch to them I was not expecting, but the ramem and curry were a little on the bland side.

    Was craving ramen and found this spot. So let's see if they're pretty good eh or ew. I got their takoyaki, handmade gyoza, dipping ramen, and award winning white ramen to try. The takoyaki had a lightly crisp exterior, savory gooey interior, and tender piece of octopus. The gyoza reminded me of the dumplings my grandma used to order and had a thin wrapping and savory pork filling. Would be nice if they were a bit crispier tho. The dipping ramen came with a jammy egg, fatty pork belly, thinly sliced onions, and springy thin noodles that kinda got stuck to each other that made them hard to dip into the thick, rich gravy that came with it. The white ramen came with crunchy wood ear mushrooms, half a soft boiled egg, tender pork belly, and thin noodles that surprisingly didn't get mushy but soaked up that flavorful, addicting, rich, garlicky broth. But overall this place eh. Takoyaki $12 Gyoza $14 Dipping ramen $18 White ramen $17.50

    My partner recommended this spot as a dinner option on a rainy weekday. Parking was easy in a sizeable lot. Interior is pretty standard for a Ramen shop, moderate amount of tables and cool points for having Naruto decorations on the wall. As this occasion wasn't too busy, we were able to sift through the menu (through QR code) and we found plenty of menu options that were labeled: "Award Winning" so we had to try it. My partner and I both respectively got the Kai Black and Kai White ramen bowls. The Kai White is the awarding winning ramen and certainly wasn't disappointed. One part that is underrated is the kikurage in the bowl. The pork belly is delicious and not too salty, and the egg is a nice touch to the bowl. I'd say though, the skinny noodles is pretty unique from your usual ramen bowl. Usually, the noodles aren't as skinny as the ones here but it was still quite delicious. Our ramen bowls came out fairly quick and as soon as we received it, the aroma was already flowing through. Presentation and portions are pretty standard, very much Japanese vibes. Love it overall. Overall, a decent Ramen spot. Definitely returning in the future to try the other dishes on their sizeable menu. Plenty of options besides ramen like Tsukemen and Mazesoba to try. My interest goes to the Kai Yellow, very intrigued by that dish and will be my next order whenever I visit again.

    We got: Kai Black and Kai White Ramen Gyoza Potstickers Spicy Tuna Crispy Rice Thai Tea & Ramune Anime lovers in the SGV got to check out this spot! Kai Ramen serves up some of the most savory, comforting bowls of ramen, packed with rich broth and perfectly cooked noodles. The Kai Black had a deep, bold flavor from the black garlic oil while the Kai White was super light and creamy. The braised chashu meat was soo juicy too! Both ramens hit the spot! The gyoza were crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside, and the spicy tuna crispy rice had the perfect crunch with just the right level of spice. Everything paired well with a sweet Thai tea and classic Ramune soda. The whole vibe is a must-see too! Naruto-themed decor everywhere that makes it feel fun and nostalgic. Kai Ramen is definitely a must try if you're craving delicious ramen and a cute anime-inspired dining experience!

    This is the best ramen I've had!!! It actually makes me mad because it's far from my house. I was soo surprised with how much I liked it. I ordered Kai's white ramen. Soooo good. I have tried dozens of ramen spots. This is now my #1. Try this place out, you won't regret it. The broth was yummy and the noodles were super fresh. Can't wait to go back !!

    Anime lover? Cute spot lover? Great deal lover? Ramen lover? Japanese food lover? Calling you all! Entering Kai Ramen feels like being surrounded by anime murals. I also love their current weekday lunch deal -- get a free drink or selected appetizer with your ramen or rice bowl. Recommendations: White Ramen (love the rich broth), Unagi Bowl (thick unagi), and Fried Soft Shell Crab -- a very unique and crispy appetizer that pairs perfectly with your noodles or rice.

    Came here recently for lunch with my brother and after reading a few reviews we felt pretty positive about this place. We got there a little bit after opening and were seated right away. The inside is very colorful with naruto painting all over the wall. We both got a thai tea for starters and then got the sesame chicken for app. I got the dipping ramen, which was okay. It was pretty salty though. My brother said his cheesy spicy ramen was okay, nothing too special. This parking lot can get horrible though so keep that in mind if youre coming at a peak time.

    This elite rated-ramen is not over-hyped, and is great for a quick, cozy, and comfortable experience. The wait time is pretty fast, and the food comes out within 5-12 min, which is great for authentic, quick, yummy ramen! The broth is very smooth and traditional, with chewy, soft noodles and yummy add-ons. All in all, I hope to come back to this place in the future to this cozy great place!

    Came on a random, rainy Monday for dinner. Easy parking and no wait time. I got the tsukemen ramen with takoyaki as an appetizer. Everything was tasty and they had some good combo options that made it feel more affordable. Not bad for a random weeknight meal.

    Just finished having lunch here as a group of 4. Only good thing was there wasn't a wait when we arrived and the whole restaurant was empty. Service was so so considering we were the only table dining in. The waiter only checked on us once. Food was honestly so so. I ordered the unagi rice bowl while hubby got a spicy chicken ramen. My unagi was very flavorful, a little too flavorful where it was a little too salty. Hubby's ramen was good but also nothing too special. I'll probably only return if I'm in the area but otherwise, this place is not a must go.

    I avoided this place since it opened because the lines were ridiculously long and I wasn't in a…read morerush to wait an hour for ramen. Recently, I noticed the lines disappeared so we came for an early dinner. The interior is pretty cool. It's kit just tables and chairs but the design element is unique. Some seating are inside a honeycomb shaped booth, some are just in the middle of the dining area. We were seated at a table that resembles a birdcage. There's a lot of wood and warm colors, which makes the ambiance stand out over other ramen places. We ordered a ramen, omurice with katsu, some skewers and popcorn chicken. The spicy ramen was delicious, but there was no soft boiled egg as shown on the menu photo. All I saw was a broken egg white at the bottom of the bowl. 4/5. The omurice was nicely done. The egg was perfectly soft and silky with a nice curry sauce in the side. The katsu that came with it was crispy, hot and tasty. 4.5/5. The popcorn chicken was great. Perfect seasoning and crispy. 5/5. The skewers however, were the low point of our dinner. They did not appear they were cooked fresh. The meats were dry and tough. The scallops were OK but tiny. Chicken was average. The whole order did not satisfy. We also got an Amazing Lemonade and Thai iced tea. The lemonade was a very refreshing drink, and the Thai tea is just like all other places. Our server, unfortunately forgot his name, was excellent. Very personable and great at describing flavors. The friendliness extends to the rest of the staff too. It's a nice place to check out. Note their parking lot is fairly small, and shared with Paris Baguette next door. It's a 4.5, rounded up.

We stopped by to try their Dine LA deal, which was $65 for a dinner set that included a choice of two appetizers, entrées, drinks, and desserts. The interior featured light wooden accents and honeycomb-style seating that created a cozy ambiance. Service was efficient, and our server was kind and attentive throughout the meal. **Yakitori Platter: 2/5** Unfortunately, the meats were dry and overcooked, while the skewers lacked the signature charred, smoky flavor I typically look for in yakitori. **Crispy Sweet Chili Wings: 2/5** Tossed in a sticky, sweet and spicy glaze, the wings were pleasantly crispy, though an unusual, artificial aftertaste made them difficult to enjoy. **Kyushu Spicy Tonkotsu Ramen: 5/5** This was everything I look for in a good bowl of ramen. The broth was creamy with a bold kick of spice, and the noodles tasted fresh with a satisfying chew. A jammy soft-boiled egg and tender slices of chashu pork made for the perfect finishing touches, with corn adding a subtle sweetness that balanced the richness of the broth. **Tonkatsu Omurice: 2.5/5** A popular Japanese comfort dish, Kyuramen's omurice was paired with a side of crispy tonkatsu. The omelet was incredibly fluffy with a soft, silky texture, but both the chicken fried rice and demi-glace were rather bland and lacking in depth. **Thai Iced Tea: 3.5/5** Fairly standard as far as Thai iced tea goes, this version was smooth with distinct notes of vanilla, warm spices, and just the right amount of sweetness. **Amazing Lemonade: 4/5** Bright and refreshing, the lemonade also had a hint of cucumber that softened its tartness. **Matcha Pudding with Red Bean: 4/5** Velvety with a custard-like consistency, the pudding had a pronounced matcha presence and was served with fresh milk on the side. The red bean complemented the earthy bitterness of the matcha. **Japanese Cherry Blossom Jelly: 2/5** This dessert was visually stunning, with edible sakura flowers suspended inside and crystal boba adding a firm, slightly crunchy contrast to its bouncy texture. While the jelly itself was muted in flavor, the accompanying syrup intensified the floral profile, which ultimately became too strong for my taste. Although Kyuramen had its highlights, several dishes fell short in terms of execution. The Dine LA set was a good opportunity to sample a variety of offerings, but I'd stick to just the ramen on a future visit.

I met a friend here for dinner and had a great dine-in experience. We both ordered their "Original Nagoya Mazesoba" $15.29 and got their Karaage $8.99 to share. It was my first time here and I figured the famous original dish is always good. The noodles are thick, and all of the strands had their own little bounce to them, just the way I like it! It arrives unmixed so I also enjoyed vigorously mixing it myself and seeing it all come together. I especially enjoyed popping the poached egg on top and seeing the egg oooozing, paired with the minced pork, green onions, chives, dish powder, seaweed, and garlic. They have really perfected the recipe here to make the perfect dry noodle dish! If you dine in, the servers will also bring you a scoop of rice. I didn't really understand it at first as to why, but I later finished my noodles and thought "oooohhhhhh!" FYI the rice is used to pick up the rest of the delicious sauce left on the bottom of your bowl and it makes for an extra carb-filled surprise. The perfect way to end a noodle dish by the way, with rice for more carbs, duh! My only feedback, and I was indeed warned by my friend, is that the noodles make you a little thirsty. My friend told me she thinks its their fish powder seasoning that somehow makes you just feel like you need to chug a glass of water, so just make sure to bring a little extra water with you, haha! Also, fair warning here since you made it this far to reading this long review. The seats were very loud to move around in the dining area, and we can just about hear every squeak the metal chair made when anyone moved their seat, too! Other than those things, the noodles are a life I've already been raving about Menya Hanabi to my friends and will definitely come back!

There's a good amount of chewy thick noodles underneath. Very flavorful- so much so that I recommend adding vinegar to lessen the greasy taste.

    We love this place. Yet, While I could write about their food being great, fast and well organized…read moreservice, or that I think they have the best Karage ever... this review is different... We visited last night, they accommodated us. My wife stubbed her toe while we were waiting outside and when we sat down, the waitress brought us a bag of ice and some napkins to help soothe her pain while we ate. If that wasn't enough, long after we left and long after their closing, my son (5yrs) couldnt find his plush toy. A comfort tool he has had since birth. We were up until 1am soothing him and fearing the worst for him. The plushy is old and weathered and to be honest, if I saw it on the ground someplace, I'd probably assume it trash. We spent the morning retracing our steps to the multiple places we had been yesterday and upon opening, we went over. I saw the same employees as last night. They remembered us and we let them know what happened. Without hesitation, the went behind the register and gave my Son back his prized possession. My wife hugged them and we expressed our massive thanks for not just having it, but for thinking, "this might be important to someone." It's a nice reminder that there are still great people out in the world. So now we love them even more! 5 star food 30 star people. From my family, Thank you to Team Nagi

I would definitely do this again, because it tasted like a normal ramen and I wasn't left wanting more. I love spice, but would definitely not add additional to the red king. The pork belly was killer and would recommend getting that over chasu, the flavor had a hint of sweetness and the minced meat was just the perfect combo! - Black King 17.50 My boyfriend always gets this, his only comment was to opt for the thick ramen! The noodle texture here is always on point, their "normal" should be the standard whereas other places you have to request firm to have it done perfectly. The price is the reason why he always returns! - Chicken Karaage 8.25 My favorite chicken karaage hands down and a must order when I go. The sauce is a sweet soy complementing the savory chicken with a touch of creamy mayo! I opt for this over the gyoza for more protein, if you have the people definitely worth while to get both. Once you queue, the hostess will give you a paper menu and marker to line up your order. From there when you are seated they will confirm and the food is ready really quickly. This is where I would go for a quick sit down meal, emphasis on quick since the music is loud and theres always a long queue.

Its made with Japanese shaved ice, a very creamy soft cream matcha sauce and matcha powder! I cant tell you how good this dessert is. The wife is obsessed and one if the main reasons why we found this spot in the first place. Please try! Service: - Super friendly staff! They are quick to get our order and serve our meal. I asked for more limes for my noodles 2x and both times they were quick. Made us feel very welcomed and checked in on us on a regular, which also reminded us of the service Japan showed us once upon a time. Overall: We love this place and we keep coming back with new people to share this type of noodle experience. Check them out im sure you will enjoy it. Lets just say we drove an hour to eat this. You def will not be disappointed :)

    This place is cool ~ I saw the Ad outside and decided to come in and try their New item Tokyo…read moreLoaded Pork Chashu Udon: The taste was awesome, what stood out was their homemade udon thick and chewy. The chashu was tasty and full of flavor. The sauce was kinda salty for my taste because they probably put too much. I took the sauce home to use it for my noodles. Rest I ate it all! We grab the Udo-nuts for dessert by the register, it was so soft and pillowy texture, I sprinkled powder sugar and it tasted so good They make the udon right in front of you , it was cool watching them do it. You have choices of tempura for add ons, you grab it yourself on the self serve counter. I pass this time because the bowl is big already for my tummy. I couldn't help but took a picture of the wall of the cute girl holding a bow of ramen. Cute decorations inside, animate vibes inspired Grad I cane in, would come back again to try their other delicious ramen in the menu.

    Dined in for dinner on a Saturday at 7:30 PM. It was busy and not too long of a wait…read more Parking: You can park by Jcpenny and walk! The parking nearby the food court is always full. Cleanliness: This place isn't as clean as I thought it would be, but it is in the mall so there will be a lot of people coming through. I ordered the Tokyo Pork Loaded Chashu. It was pretty good for the value! You get a bowl of rice and udon, egg, chashu, and spicy green onions. For a regular size it was pretty filling. I would rate it a 4/5. I wish the meat was a little more tender and not just warm.
