YES! The actual ramen noodles are made from scratch on the premises! AND, their signature Curry Ramen bowl is essentially the *best* eating version of Khao Soi you will experience all year - and for most of those who don't eat a lot of Khao Soi, hold on to your rally caps - this bowl at Kaliubon will blow your mind. I simply cannot imagine ordering anything other than their Curry Ramen bowl from this point forward. Like one would legitimately be insane not to get it, provided you are an average fan of standard Thai-style curries like Red, Panang, or even Las Vegas style Three-color (Red+Green+Yellow). My suggested mod: Ask for your home-crafted noodles a little extra "QQ" or chewy al dente. And ask for a side of their home-made chili oil to step up the Szechuan influence. Normally I shun the fusion or "new-style" menu items, but this Curry Ramen bowl is stuff of dreams. Perfectly executed, temperature hot, unforgettably umami, and the exact drinkable curry broth viscosity that is no accident. This bowl is a champion, folks! read more

Dined in at Kaliubon in Wethersfield today and it did not disappoint. The place was full, but somehow still calm and quiet; which I actually loved. It had a lively energy without feeling chaotic. I ordered the beef ramen and added shrimp, and everything came out in under 10 minutes. The broth had a really nice depth of flavor with a mild kick; not overpowering, just enough warmth. The beef was tender, the shrimp addition was worth it, and the portion size was generous. The space itself is clean and modern. I appreciated being able to see the kitchen area and the bar setup; everything looked organized and well run. The booth seating was comfortable, and overall it felt like a great spot for a casual lunch or relaxed dinner. Definitely a place I'd come back to. read more

FOOD: This place has the best by far ramen soup, it's so fresh!! Whenever I go here I get the pork bao. I sometimes dream about it & then I gotta have it! That's how good it is! THE SERVICE: The service is always friendly whether I'm by myself or with friends, also always quick! AMBIANCE: You can get a beer at the bar or go into the dining room & get lunch or dinner. It doesn't matter, it pretty chill here. Nice relaxed place for a date, great place to go with friends, either way works well. PRICES: I mean it all fresh, made to order. You can get boba & 2 bao for like $20 with tip. Do you want good or do you want cheap? It might be a little less than that actually. I love this place! read more

I've driven by Kaliubon many times and always wanted to try them. My husband and I finally ordered via DoorDash instead of dining-in since we were both under the weather. We shared an order of the Korean Wings, I had the Tokyo Chicken Ramen, and my husband had the Curry Chicken Ramen. We both agreed the servings were big and the broth (not pictured) of each one was savory and delicious. The wings were nice and meaty, with the right amount of spice. We would like to try dining-in next time! read more

Went to a lunch date here and it was great. I usually go to the one in West Hartford but we think this one is much better. Parking was easier to find. We were greeted and sat down quickly. I noticed there was some trash under the table like pieces of napkins and the host saw it but sat us there anyways. But I didn't mind it. We ordered dumplings and two bowls of ramen. The dumplings were good and I like the sauce that comes with it. It was pretty slippery so it was hard to get with chop sticks. I got the kaliubon ramen and enjoy the peanut butter flavor to it. It was a savory ramen. The pork in my ramen was delicious and tender. My partner enjoyed his beef ramen and stated the beef is better than the one in West Hartford. Overall we had a satisfying meal and will come again. read more

Kaliubon was hopping today at lunch in Wethersfield. I wanted to introduce a Boston guest to our best ramen place..and was very successful! Started with Pork Bao Bun appetizer which was new to him. They were delicious as usual. He had the Beef Ramen but I chose my favorite, the Tonkatsu. The porkbelly was plentiful and the flavor was great. We were too filled with ramen and broth to order dessert but did manage to go to Tomu Market next door where he picked up a Unigiri [Musubi to me] for the ride home. read more

Kaliubon always hits! Perfect noodles, delicious broth, great flavors all around. I'm personally obsessed with the hot & sour ramen. I've enjoyed others I've had (the curry ramen is a close second), but I regularly crave the hot & sour. It's a little spicy, as you might have guessed, with the perfect tang from pickled green beans that help cut through the richness of the broth and braised short rib. A little crunch in some bites from the peanuts sprinkled on top makes it transcendental for me. Have also enjoyed their poke, dumplings, brussel sprouts, garlic edamame, and goma q (cucumber with sesame dressing). Services is always prompt and friendly. The restaurant is clean and cozy inside, which is exactly what I want when I'm slurping noodles. And while ramen is always best eaten there, they do a great job packing things up for takeout! read more

Finally rating the Kalibu location in Wethersfield after dining in a few times and ordering out several more times. I will say this place is consistent and I've never had a bad meal. Considering all the different Ramen places in the area, I would say that this location in particular is one of my favorite. I love that they have a wonton Ramen option, as well as their angry wontons (Clearly give me all the wontons). But I also love their edamame as simple as it is. I love the spice on it. I appreciate their Goma cucumber salad, and the fact that this location has a bar for some sake and another cocktails and they even have Boba tea. Every time we do dine in the service is pleasant and efficient. It's become a rainy day spot for us, but we appreciate the team so much absolutely recommend visiting or ordering out when you can. read more

Stopped in right before 6pm. I think that is the turning point hour on Saturday. As soon as we sat down we noticed several more pistols showed up and were waiting to be seated.

Very happy with our dining experience. read more

Good food at reasonable prices. Service is great too. Too bad it's far from home. I usually go when I have to see my ENT doctor

Wow...Michael the manager is great. The food is excellent home made ramin. The experience is always good the many flavors are great

If kaliubon is only 15-20 minutes away from me, I'll be here every week.. sadly it's almost an hour drive but so worth it. The best tonkotsu ramen!! BF had tokyo chicken ramen, it's good if you like a light bowl of ramen and don't like pork, but the tonkotsu for me is the best here. He's not a fan of pork but when he tried what I got, chashu and broth, he loved it, so next time. Dumplings were the bomb as well. Service is always on point and I can't wait to be back!! read more

"In February it will be My snowman's anniversary With cake for him and soup for me!" (Carole King) When checking out Kaliubon's menu from home as a prelude to my business lunch, I sure had the impression they were a follower of the Subeay model, where the customer walks down the ordering line and points at this and at that to build their order. But I was wrong, Kaliubon is a conventional and traditional table service. They have similar lunch menus and dinner menus that differ by around $2 or so. Our lunch menu offered us a dozen appetizers (baos, wings, dumplings salads ranging from $5 for edamame to $14 for a Cajun Crab Bao. The lunch entrees are 12 choices within the noodle/ramen family for $14 and six Poke Bowls ($12-$14). Lunch combinations include one of the appetizers. I ordered the the Kaliubon Dumplings as my appetizer and they were excellent. Bursting with ground pork and shrimp with crispy shallots, cilantro, scallions, tomatoes, and roasted peanuts swimming in a spicy Sichuan chili sauce. My spicy salmon Poke Bowl was excellent, with a generous portion of salmon cubes, edamame, cucumber, seaweed, crispy shallots, and pickled ginger all in a zippy spicy sauce and served over a mound of white rice. I loved it. My 2 lunch-mates both ordered ramen bowls, and I have to admit, they really looked fabulous. Service was friendly and helpful. I was very impressed with my first visit to Kaliubon. read more

Delicious ramen and appetizers. This is one of our (adult) family's favorite places for a hot, comforting meal, with great variety, wonderful and friendly service. Lunch combination specials include appetizer + ramen or poke bowl. Generous portions at both lunch and dinner with a variety of desired spice and heat levels. A great place to bring friends as well. Absolutely worth the drive. read more

We came here when this location (the original) opened several years ago (pre covid) and we were blown away. It was by far the best ramen in the state. Over the years (I suspect change in management and staff) the quality has declined significantly. It's still good but it's just not great. I have been meaning to try their West Hartford location to see if the chefs and favorite staff moved there. Our waitress tonight was very kind and attentive. The kitchen forgot our order of edamame but I guess that's not a big deal. My husband's food came way before mine which again isn't a huge deal but it's just not an ideal experience. This place used to be out favorite spot and sadly I think after several disappointing meals we probably won't be back. I am still giving them 3 stars though because those Korean wings are still absolutely delicious. My tuna poke was really good too. I opted for that as I just don't enjoy their ramen anymore. The space is always clean and it makes for a chill vibe where you feel comfortable in casual clothes and bringing the kids. Crossing my fingers that West Hartford will be better as they really did have something special here. read more

I was really impressed with the beef Ramen, very yummy. Although the deep flavors represent more of an authentic Chinese noodle soup than that of Japanese Ramen. The beef slices tastes kind of like the brisket from Bear smoke house, without the outer layer of smoky bbq flavor. However, I don't care, 5 stars for an excellent bowl of Chinese noodle soup! read more

Do you remember the movie line -You had me at hello? Well Kaliubon- You had me at chili oil! Which by the way was delicious! Our dinner at Kaliubon was spectacular. We started off with the pork bao and dumplings. The pork belly was so flavorful and the cucumbers gave a nice crunch. The dumplings had a perfect filling/wrapper ratio and were spicy. I had the beef ramen and hubby had the Kaliubon ramen. Both were all that you want in a bowl of ramen...chewy noodles, a rich broth and tender meat. I love the egg they put in with the ramen. Service is always quick and professional and the seats are very comfortable. What a great ramen spot!! read more

My husband was craving ramen and although we occasionally grab takeout from here, we decided to eat in for a change. The decor is cozy and cute and there is a tv over the bar that was playing a basketball game at the time. We didn't feel rushed at all or like we were on top of anyone at another table (in fact, we were in a comfy little booth). The servers were all very nice and our bubble teas and food came out quickly. I can't emphasize just how grateful and thrilled I am that they offer gluten free ramen here!! I ordered a lychee bubble tea and the gluten free ramen with shrimp, scallions and corn. I tried to order the bamboo shoots but thankfully the waitress warned me that it contained wheat. My husband got the beef ramen and a taro bubble tea. We both absolutely loved our food and left full and happy. I do love eating takeout in my pjs, but there is nothing like fresh ramen in a restaurant. We will definitely be back! read more

This restaurant has the best ramen ever. Had the wonton ramen and the noodles and the wontons were as fresh as it gets. My husband had the hot and sour ramen and he said it was the best he's ever had and he's an aficionado and that regard. Jeffrey who is the manager was wonderful to chat with and explain the whole process on how it is so fresh and flavorful. Have been back twice in one week because it was so delicious. The service is excellent and the calamari is the best ever. We will be back and be known as a local. read more

Back! This time for some dinner apps - Soft Shell Crab Bao and Kaliubon Wings. The wings had a crispy exterior, which was especially impressive because I was late picking up my takeout. They had a sweet Asian glaze, sesame seeds and thin sliced green onions. Awesome taste and execution! Soft Shell Crab can be polarizing, but I thought Kaliubon did a great job with these bao. The bao themselves were perfect. The soft shell crab coating was nice and crispy. The sauce was very tasty. Still 5 Stars for Kaliubon. And if I can go tangent for a second, it's time to acknowledge the 1 mile-ish long stretch on the Silas Deane, between Angry Tofu and Kob Jai, that also includes Utsav, Ginza and Kaliubon. Mile for mile, it may be the best collection of Asian Restaurants in the State. They each have 4.5 Yelp Stars with a sample size of hundreds of reviews. Among them, they cover at a high level a variety of Korean, Indian, Japanese, Thai and Vietnamese foods including sushi, ramen, hibachi, pho, Thai curries, Thai noodle and rice dishes, Thai stir fries, Thai soups, Indian tandoor dishes, Indian rice and noodle dishes, a variety of Indian chicken, lamb, seafood and vegetarian dishes, Korean tofu soups, Galbi, Bulgogi and Korean noodle, rice and stir fry dishes.

Cannot say enough good things about this place! We ordered the garlic edamame and the wontons for an appetizer. The wontons were so fresh and so full and served with this amazing sauce. That edamame was spicy and so unique. Definitely a must try! Amazing to say the least! For ramen my table I ordered the hot and sour and the other party ordered Kaliubon. Again, both were amazing.

Came in to check it out tonight. The place was packed with a steady stream coming and going and a great many take out orders. We decided to try the sweet n spicy wings. They were very good. Plenty of sauce to redip and enjoy. I ordered the Kaliubon Ramen. It had ground pork, cilantro, seasoned egg, fresh noodles in a spicy broth. I enjoyed it very much. My bf got the Tokyo Ramen. He enjoyed his but mentioned that he would have liked it better if the chicken in it were just plain chicken and not dipped and what seemed like fried. I had a mango bubble tea. It was yellow but not much mango flavor. It was still good just needed some more mango. All in all I would recommend checking it out and we will def go back. read more

Totally cravable. I am trying to expand my dad's culinary world and told him I was taking him for ramen. He doth protest ... No no, I've had ramen. Yeah, you guessed it, the packet kind lol. So I successfully dragged his stubbornness here and successfully converted him. He now asks to come here when he's in the area proclaiming the need for their beef ramen. The braised beef is excellent and flavorful. We went again today and for some reason the beef had chili oil on top. My dad doesn't do well with spicy but the waiter was happy to bring a small bowl with plain beef broth which was the perfect remedy. So strange because upon a subsequent review of the menu, there is a chili next to beef on the menu but today (the 4th time he's had it) it was spicy. So next time we'll just have to make sure to order without chili oil. Easy fix and completely worth it. Other items on the menu I like are the Kaliubon ramen and gomaQ appetizer. read more

I'd say this ramen was pretty good but still can't compare to the ramen in the bigger cities. My bf and I came on a Saturday night right around 7 and the restaurant was pretty busy but we were able to get seated right away. We ordered the brussel sprouts as an app and I got the miso ramen and my bf got the truffle shoyu ramen. The brussel sprouts were deep fried and tasty! The only thing I didn't like was that they were sitting in a pool of sauce. By the time you get to the bottom of the bowl, the brussel sprouts are no longer crispy and then they're overly drenched in sauce. I'd have preferred if it was served on the side to dip in. The miso ramen broth upon initial taste was creamy and had a good miso flavor. However, I felt like the broth lacked depth. It became very one note. The noodles were slightly overcooked for my taste. I remember thinking that the noodles might start falling apart if they sat in the broth too long. The chashu in the ramen also was very meh. It didn't have a strong flavor so it just melded in to the broth and you couldn't really taste it. The corn and green onions in my ramen were a nice addition though. My bf thought his ramen was ok but would have preferred a creamier broth but I believe the shoyu broth is usually a lighter broth anyways. read more
