Amazing ramen at a really good price! The ONLY thing I would change is the restaurant atmosphere. They really need to play some music or put something on the tv. It's way too quiet in there. Makes it slightly awkward. read more

this place is delicious and amazing but i think this place needs some music but overall this place is super good

It was a night for soup. Went to Kamisama Ramen. It was empty. We were the only ones there. But that's ok. I asked about the DanDan noodles. I had never heard of them but they were advertised on the wall. I could be wrong, but I believe it is like Tonkatsu ramen but spicy. I don't know.... But it was amazing!!! This will for sure be my go to ramen from now on. I added boiled eggs and garlic. It was perfect!! So yummy!! So much flavor!! We also ordered the gyoza. It was good. I will probably be back again this week. It's that good!!! read more

Decided to try out this ramen spot since it was close but will not be returning. Upon arrival, the place is clean so I'll give them that but should have known the place isn't great by the fact that I was the only one in the restaurant. I ordered the Beef Noodle Soup and it looked nothing like the picture. In the picture you can clearly see a different broth (more red and clear) was used and was also missing Spinach (as seen in the picture). Came with family and would say the pictures are misleading. None of our items came as shown in the pictures. If you are in Bako and looking for ramen, I would recommend going to 'O Ramen' instead. read more

Wanted to try someplace new, this place was awesome! It wasn't busy but that doesn't mean anything to me, people on a Tuesday night may not be wanting to go out in the Bakersfield heat to have dinner. We ordered the garlic edamame, Gyoza (chicken), an Tonkotsu chicken ramen, and yaki-udon beef. For drinks we had a Diet Pepsi and a Okinawa milk tea. The food was so flavorful! We thoroughly enjoyed every bite! The only thing negative that I can share is that the appetizers came out at the same time as one of our dinners. It would have been nice to eat the appetizers and then have the dinners brought at the same time. But honestly, that's not a big deal because the food does not disappoint! We will definitely be back! read more

I went on a Saturday night and it was empty I was expecting a little bit more movement but not very quiet. So we been sitting immediately at our arrival. The server was friendly and quick took our order very fast. We order some edamame for appetizer and the ramen was good the broth was fine. I add some corn and egg but I was kinda disappointed with the egg because it was a regular boiled egg not the way I'm used to eat in ramen. The avocado cucumber suchi it was actually good. And the yakisoba very tasteful so the food it was good. Place was simple quiet but look clean. Price was really reasonable. read more

The broth from the tonkutsu ramen is great and thick, also they give you a lot of toppings. The noodles I have a problem with, i will say they are on the chewer side. Service is great but they do take long. read more

First time trying this place. The garlic rice was amazing. 10/10. The ramen, was a whole different story. I did not care for it. It grossed me out and I couldn't eat more than 4 bites. Very disappointing. Glad I finally tried this place but probably won't be back. read more

The place was clean but it was lunchtime and we were the only ones in there. When we walked in, the hostess asked how she could help us. Umm.. maybe seat us? That caught me off guard. I was thinking that maybe they weren't really open if she was asking us that. Half the menu was "unavailable". We ordered an appetizer and she came back and said that was unavailable too. Ordered ramen and my parents enjoyed it. I did not. Only came here because it's close to home but will not be returning. read more

Kamisama Ramen - Miso Ramen. It comes with the noodles, pork, green onions, bamboo shoots, and sprouts in this bowl. The hot broth is separate - Japanese Near Me - Bakersfield, California

A surprise find on a rainy, cold day! Perfect ramen bowl for much less than other competitor restaurant prices. The pork chasui was tender, the broth had depth, I added corn, boiled egg and kamaboko to the regular base items of bean sprouts, bamboo shoots and green onions, noodles were cooked perfectly and had the right "chew" factor. I wish they had powdered tongarashi (spicy chili powder) available, but their red chili sauce wasn't bad to spice things up. Contrary to the other reviews, we had a good, courteous server who showed us to a table and promptly took our order. Restaurant, although smaller in size, was clean and bright. A Starbucks Cafe is directly adjacent to the restaurant-- a convenient location for a post meal coffee! We'll be returning back to try other menu items! read more

Came in regardless of the reviews to try. Soon as I walked in, it was empty. Now I know why. The worst ramen I've ever had. I am not joking when I say this. The noodles were tough, the broth was salty. The add on pork tonkotsu was tough and chewy, I couldnt even bite it. Worse...a weird aftertaste after eating. Honestly, this place is simply taking up room another business should have. The ambiance was dead. I will never come back. read more

Solid They use the right noodles. Great price, friendly, and fast! They NEED to play music in there. Please!! It's too quiet. I've wanted to say this for years haha. read more

Call me, Sama has great miso soup along with their tempura great taste great service I recommend this to anyone.

I would give them a 5 based on service alone, and a 3 for the food. So I averaged my review, but there were a few issues with what they are serving now, compared to what they used to offer. On the Ramen scale in Bakersfield, I would say Kamisama has become the least authentic. While the flavor is still good enough, they have washed away the iconic things that make Ramen and Ramen houses so good. The quality has diminished, but the singular front of house staff was kind. I went at 1230 on a Monday, no other customers were in the dining area, and no one else came in while I was there. Food: For $10 I ordered the Tonkotsu and added (for an additional cost) Tempura shrimp and a boiled egg. (Final cost around $15) It already comes with 2 slices of Char-siu Pork, Bean sprouts, and Bamboo shoots. The broth was lacking some flavor and tastes like it was made from a base, and not from scratch as before. The Tempura shrimp was dipped all the way into my broth, which made them soggy, and it had a freezer burned quality to it. They do not offer a soft boiled egg option; It's hard boiled only. Finally, I asked for hot sauce and the server brought me Sriracha. I followed up and asked for chili oil, which used to be on the tables with other condiments, to which she replied they don't have. There's no spicy options, and there's no upping your heat level. The only other condiment was soy sauce. Service: Zero complaints. She was So kind and so friendly. She brought everything quickly and I could see her checking my table with a glance frequently. I really hope they can up their game in regards to the quality of the ramen. Compared to the other Ramen options in town, but if you like a mellow vibe, and basic Ramen, give them a shot. read more

I was in town looking for ramen and saw this recently opened, so I made my way over. It's more fast casual with table service and works well. I'm immediately seated and look over the options. Prices are very reasonable! Ramen was $8 and rice bowls and noodles were about a similar price. I ordered the tonkatsu ramen. It comes with pork, bean sprouts (different take), and bamboo shoots (also unique). I asked to hold the bamboo shoots and add nori, scallion, and garlic. The nori was $1 more and the other two were free toppings. It's great to customize the options as not many ramen places allow that. It arrives fairly quickly and I see the garlic. Wowzers. They're liberal with it. Perhaps a bit too much as it overpowered the broth. The noodles were excellent and pork okay (bit too fatty for my taste). Service is great and prices reasonable. I'll be back! read more

Kamisama Ramen - Tonkatsu with nori, scallion, and garlic - Japanese Near Me - Bakersfield, California

Service is pretty bad here. Had a young gentleman serving me who never checked up on me, he left and then had a waitress took over and she seemed very nice but I was at the end of my meal at that point. Ordered gyozo for an appetizer and absolutely no color and was still cold, needed salt as well. I had the pork ramen, the chaschu pork was tender and delicious, the broth was delicious but was barely hotter than room temp. I did add bamboo, an egg(the egg is just a hard boiled egg, no ramen eggs here) and the fish cake. The noodles are good with a chew but are more of a udon noodle than ramen, not my preference. In total with service, price and quality, probably won't be back but it is close to work so maybe if I ever see a good lunch deal I'll try again. read more

Service was quick! As soon as we walked in we were greeted by a friendly young lady! We placed our order for take out. The decor was minimal but clean! Our food was all delicious(Miso ramen, Tonkotsu ramen, and Vegetable/Tofu ramen). We will definitely be coming back! read more

Food is fairly price. It's much cheaper than the other places in town. I think it was like around $10 bucks for a bowl of basic ramen. The broth was actually pretty good and I this place probably deserves more business. Or maybe we were there just on a slow day. read more

Was in the mood for Ramen and saw this place on yelp. First impressions are everything. The guy that greeted me had a big whole in his shirt. But the place was very clean so was the rest rooms. He was helpful when I had questions and answered them with ease. Got it to go and the portions were good for the price. Not too pricey on there food. The taste was good not what I was expecting. Lots of flavor. Will I come back? Probably not but I love to try new places. read more

Tenative staff, little too high strung however. Broth tasted like it was done with a flavor additive like a pork paste and not made from bones I may be wrong but it tasted cheap. Chashu wasn't that tender and I'm not personally a fan of fully hard boiled eggs believe they are supposed to be soft. The only spicy you could do was adding chili powder would be better if there was a chili paste or inherently spicy broth. read more

Well I walk in and we were not greeted until 10 minutes later. The atmosphere was stale and hot, no music or TVs playing. Empty. Quiet. And the thermostat says 99° in the restaurant Wich it was too hot to be eating in there. The food was delicious I will say! The only other thing is it you order drinks here it's by the can and it's a 1.50 each time Wich is odd. I overall would probably never eat here again just because the service was highly lacked. But I would maybe order to go. Has potential... read more

Kamisama Ramen - a tray of rice, vegetables, and meat - Japanese Near Me - Bakersfield, California

Not a great place to have a good ramen. My co-worker who never tried Japanese Ramen thought is was great with our Tonkatsu selection. The noodle had great texture, but the soup base was kind of salty. The braised pork was a little bit over-coked. No half porched egg come with it except you pay extra for it. read more

I would come to Bakersfield just for this ramen. It's super fresh and delicious. 10/10. The hostess was very attentive and fast! it was great. read more

Used to be good food, but I don't know what happened! I used to eat their agedashi tofu and have a hearty bowl of ramen with lot of toppings back when I was in undergrad. It used to be my go to. I came back after my leaving Balersfield, and the quality has significantly diminished by A LOT. I ordered my tofu and it was cold, and the sauce was watery. The broth was super salty. The noodles were still good but that alone doesn't warrant good soup. Sad to say I won't be coming back anymore. read more

I'm from out of town and was craving some ramen, saw this ramen place on my way back to my hotel. I'd say it's pretty good. I got the tonkatsu broth with garlic, egg, and chicken Katsu. Then made it a combo with garlic rice and 3pc gyoza. My only complaint it that the broth was a tad too salty for me, however maybe that's just because of my option of broth that I chose. That, and I felt like it was pretty expensive. $24 for ramen, 3pc gyoza, rice, and a soda. read more

The gyoza is amazing. The spicy ramen is so sweet it's inedible. It's rare that I think a dish I is disgusting. That not spicy "spicy" ramen was foul. I could not fInish my meal and left. read more

Kamisama Ramen - Spicy udon - Japanese Near Me - Bakersfield, California

First time trying ramen soup. Gotta say, it was pretty good. Tried the soy broth and added a boiled egg to the mix. The texture of the noodles were legit, they were also thicker than the packaged ramen (maruchan) you buy at your local grocery store. It ain't too bad on the pocket either. 8 bucks for some dank ramen? Yee Yee. P.S. Add siracha sauce. Fire. read more

This Ramen is legit. Been my go-to Ramen place for years. The tonkotsu broth has has nice soul-warming thickness to it.

First time coming here, I got the shoyu ramen bowl. I think for being a ramen place over here in Bakersfield it's pretty good. I won't say it's better than the ones in Los Angeles, but I will say they do try at their ramen. The reason for the 4 stars is because the noodles themselves were soft and easy to go down. The shoyu broth was a bit salty but overall appetizing. The chashu slices seems to be boil down to the point of evaporation, and though it may sound horrible, the moment the slice of pork went in my mouth it melted in my mouth sending delicious shockwaves down my throat. The restaurant itself was on the "ehh" side. It wasn't like a traditional ramen shop, but I will say when I went around early afternoon it was pretty empty. It was calm and yet the shop wasn't as I thought it be, the ramen was the main thing I went for. At best it's 3.8 out of 5. read more

PSA: Would've given it three stars, but I'm being petty while I write this review and I don't want to lower their stats. Now don't get me wrong, the food here is good. And that's about it... Do you remember in high school going to your lab partner's house to work on a project, and your forced to eat there, and there's just this weird vibe because you felt like they didn't want to feed you but they were forced to because you were a guest. Well that's how it felt when me and my friends ate there. It was so quiet that whenever we laughed we felt bad. It's such a sad atmosphere. They had TVs but they didn't turn it on. And I know our waiter was trying to be personable, so I give him kudos! The food was good, best thing was that we ordered the Kamisama Roll which was good, but only 6 pieces though. I know they just opened up, but man I hope they liven up the place. read more

Food is good but the place and service needs some work. The place looks so sad, the walls are bland, TV's were off. It was so quiet in there and not in a good way really. The service was fine but the server wasn't very friendly or talkative. He was very about business, keeping his questions and service short and to the point. The food was good, very similar to the other location. I'd come again but maybe for take out. read more

Happy to have ramen EVEN closer to my house! Just when I thought Calloway and Brimhall was nearby they jump on over to Calloway and Olive - saaweeeet! Here's my trouble... I'm not sure I really loved what I've ordered so far. Maybe I've visited on off days. I don't mean to say the flavor isn't right, it is! I just wish it had a little more flavor. I find myself adding more salt, soy, and other things to liven it up. Perhaps my taste buds are failing me. Either way, ramen is a great thing to have nearby. Especially when I'm starting to feel a little ill. You can't go wrong with tonkatsu broth. Adding chicken was a little much for me, but seems to be a favorite of many. A little too much meat for my taste. And the spinach, while the bf loved, was a weird texture for my tastes. Prices were right, but can add up. One bowl is easy to share for two adults along with gyoza or a roll. read more
