Went to the third street market hall for lunch and was torn between all the delicious options! Despite it being a little toasty out, the second I saw Kawa I knew ramen was the answer! Very flavorful broth and lucky enough to get TWO jammy eggs made this dish absolutely delicious! Would love to go back and sit at the cute counter for some sushi and try some of the other menu items that sounded amazing! read more

Stopped here as I was making my rounds through the market hall. Decided to try their Tokyo tokonstu Ramen, it was good. Nice pork bone broth, bamboo shoots. Pork belly and eggs. It was tasty and definitely fulfilling! Recommend if you're in the mood for some warm ramen! read more

Kawa 3rd street - Yuzu ramen and hot maki roll - Ramen Near Me - Milwaukee, Wisconsin

Fast services I ordered a spicy salmon sushi roll and octopus appetizer , they gave me a buzzer and in leads than 10 minutes I got my order! It was a pretty busy weekend evening too after an event at the Baird center so that was da plus. The seating is in a common food hall at the 3rd street food hall so first come first serve. It's a nice place to hang with friends and meetup to have some grub. Next time I'll try their ramen! Been to the other locations so I can attest the ramen tastes great too! read more

I was on like day 5 of a conference. I wanted something different and light. A deep fried sushi roll is not that but I thought it would be better than a burger. This place is beyond disappointing. I paid I think $16 for a 8 piece roll. The ramen looked much better but stay away from their rolls. They are expensive, give you way too little for price. read more

Professional service given, with even better food choices! Ramen, rice bowls, and sushi. I got the Chicken Fried Rice bowl and was not disappointed by the portion or the flavor. read more

Food? I've been to Japan. I visit Hawaii often. I live in an area famous for Japanese ag, as well as having had the largest army base on the West Coast. I know Japanese food. I loved the Yuzu Chicken Ramen. I loved the broth, although the Yuzu flavor was very subtle. The chicken was dryer than dust which can happen easily if you use breast meat. The jammy egg was a taste sensation! The noodles were delicious and springy. Went back the next day for the Tokyo Tonkatsu Ramen. The grilled pork belly was really a huge thick piece of grilled bacon! Totally delicious, not greasy and with a different creamy broth. The to-go container is genius! There's a large container with the broth and then a lift-out insert containing the noodles and toppings capped with a very tight fitting cover. Service? The staff that I encountered, although not Japanese, was very knowledgeable about their products and cooking techniques. They were super friendly too! Ambiance? It is located within the 3rd St Market Hall (which isn't a market Hall but rather a mall-style food court). This is a destination spot for young folks to hang out with cornhole, shuffleboard, pinball, and arcade games. The music is a bit loud for this 67yo bat to hear my partner but it wasn't obnoxious. The seating was comfy. The place is very clean. I liked being there Monday afternoon but I'm sure the nighttime crowd would drive me nuts! Time for another refrain of "Gerroff my lawn!" read more

Came here for a quick warm bite and tried the hellfire ramen at the recommendation of the server. I asked for it medium and it was a little too spicy for me to finish it and I am into super spicy foods. My understanding now is that all it the hellfire ramens are spicy even the mild one is "mild spicy." I recommend ordering a different ramen and getting chili on the side to add yourself to your preferred spice level. Bring your own water or get a drink from the bar nearby because they do not have complimentary cups of tap water to cool the hellfire they serve! Vegetarians, keep in mind there were no vegetarian ramens only chicken. I also tried the sweet potato roll. It was ok and I think it was nice they came up with a seasonal roll for the holidays. read more

Our first visit to Milwaukee and first meal here as well. Heard the 3rd Street Market was a place to visit while here and our hotel was right next door. None of the vendors were really "grabbing" us food wise, so we settled for ramen seeing that the cook looked Asian. Being from the LA area of California and having visited Japan several times, we have high expectations for ramen. We hoped for the best, but unfortunately it was disappointing. I ordered the chicken ramen and my daughter ordered the Yuzu chicken ramen. We were both taken aback by the cooked chicken in the ramen. Usually the protein in ramen is cooked, thin sliced pork aka Chashu. The other ingredients ( sliced green onion and bamboo shoots) seemed "off", taste wise from what we would expect. The redeeming features in my chicken ramen were the jammy egg and the broth. My daughter felt the Yuzu broth wasn't very flavorful and had very little Yuzu taste. She also liked that the egg was jammy, not hard boiled. The service was friendly. As one of the vendors in the 3rd Street Market, the ambience is quiet different than being in a stand alone restaurant as it a large hall with loud shared music that does not enhance the vibe you wish to create for your space. The frontage decor gave an Asian feel as well as the uniform the cashier wore. Granted, Wisconsin isn't known for its ramen, but I tend to be optimistic and hope for a surprise. Unfortunately, it didn't happen. read more

Kawa 3rd Street, as the name implies, is located inside the 3rd Street Market Hall. I love that they have sushi options in the market. Came to the 3rd Street Market with a group of five. I love that you can order from anywhere in the market and they'll let you know when your food is ready. Our group sat by the automated beer wall and loved that we could sit there chatting while all ordering on our phones at different eateries in the hall (I think only 2 of the 5 ordered at the same eatery). I ordered Kawa's dragon roll to enjoy with a beer from the beer bar. I got a message on my phone when it was ready and was able to hop over to pick it up. So, while I didn't really interact extensively with folks at Kawa, I appreciated their efficiency and friendliness when I picked up my roll. The roll itself was solid. It wasn't out of this world but was tasty and freshly made. I agree with the Yelp Community that this is a 3.5 star spot but for the purposes of my review, rounded up! read more

This is my son's favorite place to grab a bite when we go to the 3rd Street Market Hall. Everything has always been delicious and service is fast. We love the Market Hall for a few games of bags while having a meal and watching a game on one of the many tv's. Very fun! read more

I ordered Japanese fried rice with shrimp. Super good! I did want a little spicy kick to it and had to go back and pay an extra buck for chili oil. Not a big deal but interesting that they don't have complimentary (tsp) packets. Dock'd a star for that. Other than that, I would totally recommend! You can take your food anywhere and eat with your friends that might have wanted food from another place. Service was friendly and quick!! read more

I just ordered an an egg waffle. They gave me the one that was already sitting there. I asked if it was freshly made and they said it was. It wasn't. It was cold. I had one bite and the rest is in the garbage. I see them making new ones now. Better luck to the next person. read more

Came here with some friends over the weekend and gave Kawa a try for the first time. My husband ate the chicken bowl and said it was pretty good. He liked the flavors and said it was rather filling. We shared the crab rangoons which were crispy and amazing! There were only 4 sadly. The edamame was great! Nice and salty. The only reason I took 1 star off is the price was a bit more expensive than I would've expected. I think these three came out to $40. read more

Just ok ramen. The chicken seemed like pre-cooked frozen stuff. Visits: 1 Recommendations: not sure yet read more

Kawa was pretty good but I can only compare it to my ol' go to place in Florida when it comes to chicken and steak bowls. - Maui Teriyaki. I got the Kawa chicken bowl and it was pretty good. Had to wait a bit for it, but I could roam the 3rd street food hall while waiting. My pallet isn't as good nowadays but I thought it wasn't as good as Maui. Seaweed was good and plenty of chicken and rice. 3rd St. food hall is bustling with activity, and I enjoyed people watching while eating. read more

Slow, unfriendly service. SO SLOW. Sushi was fine - fish seemed to be room temperature so that made me nervous.

The food was great. The staff, on the other hand, could use a refresher in manners. I ordered takeout/pickup via the website, and my husband picked up the order on his way home from work. The order was for 6 people. When my husband looked in the bag, there were 2 pairs of chop sticks. My husband asked for more chopsticks. The guys behind the counter said very rudely that there were already some in the bag. My husband thanked them, and said he saw 2, but the food was for 6, so he'd like some more. The staff THREW a big handful of chopsticks at him. Our order was also packed poorly, with hot dishes on top of cold sushi rolls, so the hot items got cold, and our sushi was par cooked and kind of gross. Given there are other options, I would not order from here again given our experience. read more

I never leave reviews. I should have left with rude service ! Ramen was a worst u had in a long time. Bland tasteless thawed frozen chicken. Instant ramen quality noodles. Little taste. Enough canned bamboo shoots to choke a horse. Asked for hot sauce to liven up the tasteless mess. They wanted a dollar. I gave them the dollar. Even hot sauce was horrible! Save your money ! read more

Pretty good sushi spot in the 3rd Street Market. My favorite place to eat inside of here for sure. Only bummer is pretty limited roll options but everything they have is def delicious. Also great poke bowls read more

Ordered the Yuzu chicken ramen and was pleasantly surprised. I did not expect the grand amount of fantastic flavor that was packed into this ramen.
