Kiku Ramen + Boba is a hidden gem that offers quality food at an affordable price. While the ambiance could be improved by showcasing their ingredients, it also adds to the authenticity of the experience. The staff is always friendly and attentive, ensuring that your dining experience is enjoyable. The food arrives promptly, and the staff makes sure to check in on your table throughout the meal. The boba and smoothies are highly recommended, but my personal favorites are the Tiger Boba Milk Tea and the Honeydew Smoothie. I highly recommend giving Kiku Ramen + Boba a try. You won't regret it! read more

Very good ramen, very large portions for cheap, the service is very good, and the other customers respect the ambiance of the place. Their House Boba Tea is amazing along with the Tonkotsu Ramen. read more

I haven't had ramen in years due to my allergies, but my daughter is really into Japanese art and culture right now. She really wanted try this place when we saw it online and I was worried there would be nothing for me except drinks. I was wrong. I was able to find a full meal I could have and let my daughter enjoy the umbrellas with Japanese art and the lanterns while we ate. It's a pretty small place, but we really enjoyed our visit and can't wait to come back again. read more

Been craving ramen and stopped by this spot near my old high school. So glad I came in! The food and service were great. It's located in the shopping center in front of the villa sports club. It's a small spot with cute decorations. The tables were all clean and nicely organized. We started with the bbq pork buns which came out hot and fresh. The texture was great. 3 for $6. I had the spicy miso ramen and it was excellent. The flavor of the broth was good without being too salty. The soft boil egg was perfect and I enjoyed the pork chashu as well. Other ramen spots I've been to don't usually have good chashu tbh. The noodles were a bit on the thicker side but cooked well. They put spinach rather than bok choy which I found odd but it worked! We also got the chicken katsu don which was a great portion. The chicken was cooked well and crispy. A few bites were a bit chewy. It was served with broccoli, corn and carrots. I will definitely be back again and recommend this! Better than Tamashi and Rakkan. read more

This is so incredibly disappointing. Everytime I have been here it has been over a 30 minute wait for one or two items. When in a rush, the boss comes in late and the staff is disrespectful. Makes drinks for fun but not our order. The cashier also had to ask us what we ordered because she forgot. read more

So good! Matcha is 10/10! Atmosphere is great so cute! The owners are really nice too love ittttt read more

Good spot for drinks. I'd probably pass on the ramen next time. The broth wasn't flavorful and the pork wasn't exactly tender. The steak udon was a hard pass. read more

The Ramen is wonderful! Loved the bamboo shoots and the fried squid! My rice paper roll with peanut sauce was fresh and delicious. My daughter said the Oreo Matcha was like a dessert There are so many more things we want to try on the menu! The music and atmosphere were calming and relaxing. Our server was attentive and patient with our questions. Can't wait to go back. Thank you Kiku for a beautiful evening! read more

Who's ready for ramen and boba?? What an incredible combination to have a perfect marriage of ramen and boba!! They even have vegetarian and gluten free option!! This place is in the heart of Katy community and we love it. They have an amazing decor, modern Asian theme, super friendly workers and the best is the food...a bonus is wifi!! Great place to hang out, study, grab a refreshing drink or drinks and enjoy the food! Come support these local businesses! Chow Chow Time!! read more

Found a ramen gem! Came back two consecutive week b/c one of the best ramen I've eaten! Both times i ordered the tonkotsu kuro ramen. The broth was so creamy, but also light, and not overly salty. The pork chashu is were its at! Was so flavorful and such a generous amt of topping. Will be going back for lunch as long as i work around the area! I've also tried their shrimp tempera and egg rolls appetizers. Nothings spectacular, does the job if you're in the mood for some fried appi. Might try their boba next time. read more

Came here for lunch and it was nice! The decor is really great. The food was delicious! And the boba was on point. The service was a bit off. Everyone was super nice but just not attentive nor accurate. They did not bring us water. Our food came before our tea drinks. My tea was warm on the bottom so I'm guessing it needed more ice? I ordered the tofu curry but was given chicken. We had to eat lunch in a hurry so I went with all the mistakes. I'm sure they would've corrected them but I just did not have time! I like this place aside from all the errors that occurred. They were really nice and the food was good. I'm sure I'll be back! I think they opened recently so I'm sure they will get things figured out soon. read more

Cute mom and pop shop! The staff was welcoming and sweet. I love the aesthetic, it reminded me of Dotonbori, Japan! The place has a huge variety of food and the price of drinks is affordable compared to other places. They have outlets, making it a great place for students to come study or people to get their work done. Also have free WiFi Now for the food, I feel like their name is a tad misleading. I came in expecting them to be a specialty Japanese restaurant, and primarily serve ramen and boba. Instead you'll find a variety of Asian cuisine on their menu including from fried rice, dim sum, herbal mango sango, etc On the bright side, you can probably find something each person is willing to try but on the downside, I feel that it may take away from the overall quality of each dish. Now for the food review: The mango smoothie is not bad for its price! It's a large size, but definitely a mix of powder versus fresh fruit. (3.5/5) Tempura shrimp (3.5/5): it had a descent batter to shrimp ratio and went well with the dashi sauce Popcorn chicken (1/5): When it came out, i thought they had brought me the wrong dish. I thought maybe it was squid because part of it looked like tentacles. It is definitely not Japanese kaarage or the crispy Taiwanese chicken I thought it would be. It appeared covered in corn starch and didn't come with a sauce. I would not order this again. I got the spicy miso ramen with pork chasu. I loved the way they plated the dish. It was aesthetically pleasing. The noodles are thin, they charge you a fee to upgrade to thick or udon noodles. The broth isn't as flavorful and there's not as much depth to it, but the pork chasu was AMAZING! You can see the char on both sides and they give you a decent portion! The noodles were also cooked well. It's somewhere between a 3.5 and a 4 for me. They give you one seaweed and also use spinach, which added a different flavor than I'm used to with most ramen places. Overall, I'm sure there are dishes that I may try at a later point. I also think the atmosphere, the affordable drinks and other food options make it a cute date spot or study place! But likely wouldn't call it my go-to ramen place. read more

Love the ramen here! The flavor of the broth is some of the best I've had. The staff and owners are incredibly nice as well! Win win

Jack the server there is really nice and the food is superb. The boba is also a great treat! The prices are pretty fair for a restaurant too, and servings are fair too. Definitely a place to check out! read more

My updated review - My daughter and I ordered Tempura Udon Soup, Shrimp Fried Rice and Mango Pomelo Sago. The Shrimp Tempura came with a special house made mayo sauce and it had a kick and was tasty. I especially like the udon soup. It's just different than the soup from other ramen restaurants. The Shrimp Fried Rice came with two skewers of Shrimps which were quite a lot. However, I particularly like the fried rice. Found out from the owner that their chef uses butter to fried the rice and the rice they use is Japanese rice. No wonder it's so delicious and it smells so good! I was very satisfied with the flavor! The Mango Pomelo Sago was dense with a lot of mango in it. The owner said that she uses 1 whole mango for each of this order. Even though this drink is $7, I think it worth the price as they put a whole mango in it. It's a yummy drink! read more

We love going to this place for ramen! It's a kid friendly environment with the green space outside & the food is always delicious!

I gave 5 stars simply because their food and services are great, I won't forget to mention the lovely decorations. The fired chicken on rice are great!! The chicken are tender and juicy. Their Ramen: honestly this is first time I ate a ramen that i won't feel thirsty afterward. Chewy noodles, no MSG soup base, generous amount of the meat. Boba: Normally i do not order Boba at a restaurant, I would go to a boba shop after my meal. But Kiku makes a good Boba drinks. ( I consider myself a Boba expert lol ) I feel like Kiku is a restaurant you would like to go after a long day, or a Friday night or Sat afternoon when I am lazy to cook, I have the "home made " feeling when I taste the food. I hope you feel the same and enjoy the kindness services. read more

Inside is very nice, very comforting and calm and the servers are so kind, food was by far my favorite ramen i've had coming from someone who is japanese, this place deserves more credit read more

Finally a decent ramen place in the neighborhood. Food is very comparable to kizuki and Jinya ramen, pricing is comparable too. They've got good combos, appetizers and drinks for their prices which makes it great for the high schoolers nearby. Try their steak fried rice, it's quite flavorful. For those that like spices in their ramen, try the laksa which has a great blend of SE Asian flavors in it. One of my favorites. read more
