    Tonkotsu
    Maranda R.

    Since being in town, I've tried two other ramen spots and by far, Kami Ramen is my favorite so far. The place was pretty packed when I arrived, which is always a good sign, but I only waited about 15 minutes to get a seat. Totally worth it. I also really appreciated the ordering process. You place your order at a kiosk when you walk in, which keeps everything moving smoothly especially during busy times. It's easy to browse the menu, customize your meal, and pay upfront without feeling rushed. I ordered the tonkotsu ramen and a side of masago mayo French fries, and both were outstanding. The tonkotsu broth was rich, creamy, and full of deep, slow-simmered flavor. It had that perfect savory depth without being too heavy. The noodles were cooked just right with a nice bite, and the toppings tied everything together into a comforting, satisfying bowl. The masago mayo fries were such a fun addition. Crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside, and topped with a creamy masago mayo that added a slightly briny pop of flavor. They were indulgent in the best way and paired surprisingly well with the ramen. One of my favorite parts of the experience was watching the staff prepare the soups in the open kitchen while I enjoyed my meal. There's something so satisfying about seeing the care and attention that goes into each bowl from ladling the broth to carefully assembling the toppings. It made the whole experience feel even more authentic and enjoyable. Between the efficient kiosk ordering, the lively atmosphere, and hands-down the best ramen I've had in Anchorage so far, Kami Ramen definitely earns the top spot on my list. I'll absolutely be back.

    Great food!!! You definitely want to get there early because it fills up FAST. I was a little thrown off by the ordering process since I'm sort of a novice ramen person, but they have great wait staff there to answer questions as well since you're using a kiosk to order from.

    Lychee green tea with rainbow jelly and spicy tonkotsu ramen with corn
    Nicole R.

    Good ramen place in Spenard. Nice atmosphere for dining with a bar and tables, like you're at a ramen place in Japan. However it feels very cramped if there are several people waiting for a table (which was my experience both times I came here) since there is basically no standing room. The parking lot is also very small, so when I met a friend here he had to park on a side street since the lot was full. Last time I spent more time waiting for a table than my food. I had the spicy tonkotsu ramen with corn which was enjoyable. The pork chasu was on the leaner side, like a pork chop in texture, which I didn't love. The broth and noodles were better. I like the option to add different toppings to ramen. The specialty drinks menu makes this place stand out from similar restaurants in town. I ordered the lychee green tea with rainbow jelly which was just sweet enough. Considering how busy this place is, I definitely recommend making a reservation.

    Food is always delicious. Homestyle ramen, perfect on a cold day in Alaska. Service is quick and friendly.

    Veggie ramen with spicy sauce

    Like Bill L. said, the place was busy! Thankfully, I ordered online and was only picking up. However, even that took 15 minutes for me to be acknowledged and then handed my food that was already sitting on a pickup rack. The ramen was very good, but does not beat my number one ramen spot. I would have liked more broth. I am glad that I ordered the spicy sauce, because without it, I believe the broth would've been a little bland. Overall, I give the Veggie Ramen a B. I also purchased a red bean ice cream fish bar. It was tasty, I like red bean desserts and do not see them often. I give that treat a B+. I do highly recommend others give this place a try, if they are on the fence.

    Went Kami Ramen on a recommendation of a friend. Yelp reviews only solidified my reason for coming. Upon entering you enter a clean Japanese ramen shop with a friendly welcome by the Kami team. Your seating can range from high top table, counter or half booth. The menu has a good variety of appetizers, ramen bowls, and other Japanese entrees. We had great pleasure to meet the owner who also took our order. We ordered tonkotsu ramen, spicy & sweet edamame, and gyoza. Ramen was full of flavor that was only enhanced with the noodles. Broth is cloudy and thick with good texture. Chashu were thinly cut and well prepared. Toppings were perfect. We enjoyed the entire meal and service. I have book marked Kami Ramen and look forward to a return visit when in town. Thank you Kami Ramen.

    The spicy tonkotsu ramen is yummy delicious! Stay off the spicy version if you can't take heat. The pork slice hits the spot with its slight char. The fried squid was yummy too. I would prefer slightly puffier batter but this works too.

    Pork Chashu Sandwich
    Elizabeth N.

    Cute little place; sitting is limited if you have a large group. We came here for lunch. We got Spicy Tonkotsu Ramen, Tonkotsu Ramen and Pork Chashu Sandwich and kumquat lemon green tea. All delicious, fresh and tasty. Kids ate everything and they can get picky. Food was good and arrive very fast after we ordered. Would recommend and will come back.

    Ramen is always delicious! Also had the crispy gyoza and it is always delicious as well.

    Lychee fizz
    Carrie G.

    Still good! Still my favorite ramen spot in Anchorage! I like the lychee fizz drink, I think I will try the lychee green tea maybe? Might switch it up. We got the pork chasu sandwich, which is pork on a bao bun. It is very small, like three bites for $4.50. This time around I got the shio ramen. I decided I like the pork better instead of the chicken, so this is my note for next time. I feel like I had less chicken than last time. (Picture is last visit not this one) I do want to try the vegetable ramen, which I might try next time. I think my favorite is the kuromayu ramen, it is identical to the tonkotsu ramen but has black garlic oil. We managed to snag a table around 12 noon, but soon after there was a bit of a wait as the 5 tables and the bar was full. It doesn't take too long to get the ramen out, the other food options take a little longer I believe so people can be in and out. YUM!!

    Masago mayo French fries
    Emily L.

    My favorite ramen in Anchorage! I can't say too much about it, but it is so rich and filling, the broth is just perfect. And the French fries are my absolute favorite. Definitely have to add some chili oil and black truffle oil to everything! The peach tea is a great add on, too. As for the space, I wish it was a little larger, but I've never had a problem with waiting, cause it's worth it. Seating is limited but there is plenty of bar space if you are going on your own. And the staff is awesome, very efficient and friendly, which is always important!

    Mochiko chicken
    Lindsey P.

    The spicy tonkotsu ramen is delicious and all the sides I tried (crispy gyoza, fries, edamame, and mochiko chicken) were great. I am looking forward to trying another kind on my next visit because they all sounded amazing. I also really want to try the fried pork belly. Yum! The staff was super friendly and the atmosphere was clean and cozy. This will 100% be my go-to ramen place in town!

    I'm still kicking myself for not snapping photos when the food hit the table because every dish…read morethat came out was absolutely picture perfect. The presentation alone deserved its own spotlight, with vibrant colors, thoughtful plating, and that "don't touch it yet, just admire it" kind of appeal. The salmon panang curry was hands down my favorite. The salmon was perfectly cooked tender, flaky, and rich sitting in a velvety panang curry sauce that balanced creamy coconut with just the right amount of heat. The flavors were bold but beautifully harmonious, with a depth that made every bite better than the last. It's the kind of dish you immediately start planning to order again before you've even finished it. The tonkotsu miso soup was equally impressive. The broth was luxuriously rich and full-bodied, with that slow-simmered depth you hope for in a great tonkotsu. The miso added a savory complexity that made the whole bowl incredibly comforting. Every spoonful felt warming and satisfying perfect for an Anchorage evening. Beyond the food itself, the overall experience was wonderful. When a restaurant manages to combine stunning presentation with flavors that truly deliver, it stands out and RickShaw absolutely delivers. I'll definitely be back... and next time, I won't forget the photos.

    The bowl of seafood pho here is pretty good, and similar to the one I tried at Phonatik recently…read more The noodles are just a touch less tender than others I've tried, but the shrimp and squid were fresh and tasted good. This one also had imitation krab, which is fine but not my favorite. The side dish of garnishes was kind of weak, just bean sprouts, lime and jalepenos. I wish it had cilantro. They must have been out of basil that day too, because we didn't get any with the pho. I want to find a seafood pho with fish cake or house made seafood balls. I think I maybe set my expectations a bit high since moving from Hawaii, every pho place there is a peak experience. My husband tried the beef brisket massaman curry which he thought was very watery and very light in the spice department, which he didn't like much. However our child loved her small kid size chicken pho and we all loved the mango smoothie. It's one of the most flavorful smoothies with perfectly thick blended consistency that you can still suck up the straw. Ambiance is kind of old, dank, dark, and dated but also holds some oddly charming quality nonetheless. Service was straight-forward. Special s/o to the man who welcomed us in, immediately fetched a high chair for our child, and then also helped me with my giant diaper bag which he didn't have to do but was very appreciated. I bet he's a dad.
