Okay, here's a review you can use: I am extremely disappointed with the service at this restaurant. We were told they weren't taking orders because they didn't have seating, yet six tables were visibly empty. It took one employee a full five minutes to clear a single table that only had two cups and two bowls on it. Furthermore, their two high chairs are both broken and unsafe. One has a broken belt clip, and the other pinched my son because the middle piece was broken. After waiting 45 minutes without even being able to place an order, I can't even comment on the food quality. This was a terrible experience. read more

Service- great hospitality Food- GROSS, my $16 even has charred stuffs from the griddle, soup taste bland and nothing but burnt griddle, not even a drop of broth, no seasoning, grounded pork only taste salty from the salt. Almost every bowl were left almost full from the customers throughout the restauant. When I looked at it first, I thought, may be they arent really used to eating authentic ramen but guess what, mine was left almost full as well. Theres not a single love for the food, despite taking 20min for them to make. Worst expensive meal ever. read more

Didn't serve the ticket at one but very good food. Super salty in a tasty way. Easy seating and ordering good if you're hungover OR going on a date read more

Great service! Because it was our first time they gave us a free plate of Chicken Karaage. Everything tasted great, the service was nice and there was plenty of seating. Parking was a little difficult because the parking lot only fit about 10 cars but there is some street parking as well. All over 10/10! read more

Quaint little place with good atmosphere. Workers even seem very pleased to be working here and smiled all the time. Ramen and other items are on the menu but we just had some appetizers and a drink. The drink was very tasty! Not too strong and not too sweet - a perfect and refreshing afternoon drink. read more

Broth was extremely salty, couldn't eat it. I think it had to be an accident or something. Took my mom who also couldn't eat hers.

Hostess cut the line and said the restaurant is not serving anyone. Couldve communicated prior while waiting in line for an half hour. No reason provided. Poor service mindset. read more

I never really make a bad review but this place is probably one of the worst I've ever been. Service: We came at a not busy time, and waited 10 minutes to be seated, to which the person taking orders smiled at the people in front of us and said sorry for the wait and was really polite to them. When we waited another 5 minutes to have our orders taken, she has the most bored look on her face and said absolutely nothing to us and just stared at us until we started talking, then handed us one drink and a number for our table and said nothing the whole time. We sat down at a table with crumbs all over it, and saw people grabbing their takeout containers and silverware, with tons of people looking confused because there were no signs or anything. There are no servers, so you have to just know your way around to getting everything for yourself, which is ridiculous given one appetizer, two entrees, and a drink were 70 dollars. Food: the food looked amazing, but tasted like nothing and was really underwhelming, the oyakudon's rice was overcooked, and the egg was cold, and the chicken had no flavor. The tonkotsu ramen had an okay broth, but there was no depth of flavor to justify the price. The best thing there was the green onions and mushrooms on the ramen. The ramen noodles were bouncy, and pretty good texture wise. Ambience: The tables were dirty, and the whole vibe of the place gave a snooty feel, but was trying to be cozy. There was an upstairs door that was so loud it split your ears when it opened. Overall: 2/5 Service was bad, food was bad, ambience was bad. The hostess was arrogant, rude, and judgmental. 100% not worth the money. So expensive for bland food read more

WORST Tonkotsu ramen i ever had and ive given it a couple of chance already. Still way too salty. Also the SERVICE was very poor. I ask TWO servers to give me a small cup of hot water so i can dilute the saltiness but both of them did not come back. Did not even offer an apology for forgetting but just gave a lame excuse of something not being plugged. I hope that whoever the chef is try his Ramen himself coz this was not a one time thing. I've been a customer way before they moved to Flores St. and always ordered the Tonkotsu. Never had a good one at the new place.. its a shame coz its so close to my job yet this is the last place i will be thinking of getting a ramen or asian food. read more

It's was really good. I had to search and search to find this place again. My hubby, son and myself ate there after the stock show a few years ago. read more

The best ramen I've had in the states. I always get the shoyu with chicken and ground pork, the spice in the pork really kicks up the seasoning. Their drinks are delicious and the gyoza is great. Whenever we are back in town, Kimura is a must stop! The staff are super friendly and attentive. I really like the ambiance and how there are two restaurants in one. I highly recommend to anyone who wants great ramen! read more

First Impressions the restaurant looks kind of small! There's limited parking on property but plenty across the street. You walk in and instantly greeted with hostess and menu board. I didn't venture out too much this time and ordered the tonkotsu with a Kirin Ichiban. After I ordered I was given a number and told to choose anywhere to sit. Walking towards the rear of the restaurant it just gets larger and larger. It had a surprising amount of seating but I wouldn't recommend for groups over 4 people, a double date is perfect. My tonkotsu had a bunch of flavors. It was just a little high on the salt level for my liking. I would really like to come back on a different day and try the ramen again. read more

Came here with the expectation of good Ramen, rolled up and parked, kinda empty, but what would you expect for a 4pm trial with an interesting parking off to the side. I would like to throw out there, I take my RAMEN consumption seriously! ^_^ Upon arriving inside the restaurant, we were greeted enthusiastically. Caught me off guard, awesome energy, but not vibing today. You order and pay at the same time at the cashier area, interestingly~ kinda odd and not really standard or traditional. Additional, this was anything but ordinary or traditional. We were there during happy hour and were promised a happy hour menu when seated, but it never happened... The restaurant was clean and presentable. Most of the staff were professional and dressed appropriately. Again, highlighting not a traditional ramen joint~ or ambience~ was very much a bar setting -_- On to the RAMEN! Originally, the love of my life and I were going to order Tonkatsu, but my spidey senses said go try the Tantanmen. Thankfully, I did. It was the saving Grace. Tonkatsu: Pork was not braised enough for the fat on the actual pork belly to be edible, was tough and lacking flavor. To add to the flavor, the broth itself did not have the Tonkatsu umami that I was hoping for... it was missing something. My boyfriend did order their spicy house sauce on the side, it made the ramen better, but definitely was lacking all around, even with the veggies :[ it was a bit heavy, even with the lack of flavor and the noodles were not cooked enough, def not al dente. Tantanmen: again, heavy~ good depth of flavor, veggies seasoned great! Noodles were a bit tough still~ all in all, it was a saving Grace, but we didn't even dare finish our dishes :[ I'm a foodie and I was very sad and disappointed. Def not a great ramen place. More of a bar. Also~ no happy hour during happy hour... when they said it was happy hour -_- read more

Kimura ramen hits the spot on a cold and rainy day! I recently visited Kimura on a Monday during lunch time. I have always wanted to check out this restaurant, but frankly their star rating and mixed reviews kept me from checking it out. The restaurant is located just right outside downtown with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. As you enter, the staff welcomes you with a smile and you place your order at the counter. They had some lunch specials for that day, but decided to go for their Tonkatsu ramen, and their charred and spicy edamame. Please note that all of ramen bowls already come with a soft boil egg and shitaki mushrooms, but you can always add extra if you want. The edamame was too spicy for my taste. The charred flavor was delicious but the level of spiciness was really overwhelming. The ramen bowl was delicious, but I would recommend to add some extra broth to it. It felt like they only gave me half the amount of broth compared to other restaurants. I am giving Kimura four stars because the flavors are there, however the portions compared to the very expensive price don't seem to match. With that being said, I would definitely come back and have some of their delicious ramen regardless of the price. read more

Beautiful establishment ! Love the food the atmosphere everything has so much flavor and it keeps me coming back. When you walk in your order at the counter , they give you a number and then you pick your spot . Food is brought to your number. I like to try different things on the menu , appetizers are a must . Parking can be kind of tight but I believe after 5 you can park across the street . read more

We don't venture downtown often so we were excited to try something new. The building itself was kind of hard to detect - it's on a corner and when it's dark out, it's easy to miss the small sign. When you walk in, you see the kitchen and registers as well as a cute little restaurant. The place itself is very quaint with a few tables in the front and a larger area in the back with seating. You order your food/ drinks at the front counter which isn't very group- friendly due to it being directly next to the front door and there not being much of a space to line up. There was two registers with families, my fiancé and I plus two more groups of 2 behind us and the whole area was very cramped. Eventually the cashiers finishes ringing up the families and got them their hot teas which cleared up the area. The food took quite a while which, to me, means the food is made to order rather than some ramen shops which are ready within minutes of ordering. We ended up getting a free order of edamame which was spicy yet delicious - just don't taste the black charred spots. The food finally came out and I was thoroughly impressed with the chicken & rice bowl. The portions are HUGE. My fiancé said the ramen was alright, but wasn't his favorite place for ramen and likely wouldn't order it again. read more

Parking is a challenge as only street parking is available. Lot across the street is available for parking after 5pm. The restaurant itself is very nice. Plenty of indoor seating but also has a shaded patio for dining Al fresco. We went for a late lunch and found the restaurant quiet and comfortable. We ordered yakisoba, ramen and fried dumplings. Everything was flavorful and the presentation was lovely. read more

Kimura - Teriyaki Fried Chicken and Rice Bowl - Ramen Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

This is the best tasting ramen in San Antonio. Then why am I giving it a 3? Well to keep it simple, this place is diiiirty! I been here 6 times and without fail the tables are always disgusting and sticky. I've had to clean my own table even when it's slow and they shouldn't be an excuse for dirty tables. They also seem to be stingy with napkins and make it seem like they're on the verge of going out of business the way they run out spoons and napkins. I take people to taste the ramen but always worn them that it's going to be dirty. It's a shame that this place should be a 5 put the staff/owner doesn't care enough to clean. If you are willing to push through the gunk then good on you for finding the best tasting ramen but I'm getting tired having to clean my own table each time I go. read more

A church friend, Larry, had recommended for us to check out @kimura_ramen and @dashbarsatx some time so today was the day. My 5-star experience started when I spoke with Marissa about their ramen broth because it can't be salty for my Dad. She and the chef were willing to work with us. Dad and I shared the Tonkotsu with extra broth and extra noodles. Loved the taste! My husband had the same thing. We did order an Edamame as appetizer. Loved the drinks that Larry mixed up - Butterfly Bramble and Melon Sour! Dad enjoyed his peach Ramune. My husband had Asahi draft and also iced green tea. The only thing that was a little off was the homemade ice cream. Marissa took it off the bill which we appreciated. Next time, I might try a different flavor. The portion is generous though. Highly recommend that you check this place out! read more

First time coming to this location. I've been to Cherrity Bar many times and it's truly a favorite! I wanted to order Happy Hour appetizers and they sent me to the bar upstairs. I got there right at 5pm and it wasn't super busy. I told them I wanted to order food and they said happy hour was only available upstairs. I went upstairs and I'm glad I did! Downstairs has an open kitchen and loud music playing. I was by myself and I welcomed the less noisy atmosphere upstairs. I ordered onigiri as an appetizer. The happy hour is not the same as Cherrity Bar. Just fyi. I've never had it before and it was good and the Tantanman. Similar to Cherrity bar. The server recommended the house spicy sauce. It was yummy but super spicy so I just dabbed it in my ramen and on the onigiri. It was a good experience but next time I think I'll opt for 'ol faithful!! read more

Not gonna lie. Had an impromptu lunch date, Googled sushi, saw this place, ended up here. Parking is REALLY TIGHT! Also, had to turn around because the entrance is NOT NOTICEABLE to people like me (terrible with directions and detail). So, once I finally parked, I was committed. Notice to all, this is NOT a sushi restaurant. It is, however, a totally hidden gem. I don't even know what I ordered, but it was delicious, the service was impeccable, the staff was great, and I had enough for leftovers. Would come again just to try other menu items, and perhaps sample the cocktails, which looked amazing. read more

This place was so cute and delish. The tantanmen was my fave! Service was good and everyone was welcoming. I will say if you don't like pork belly, just request without. I wasn't a fan and saw it was $3 up charge I could've done without. My husband did say his old fashioned was the smallest he's ever had with alot of ice. Not much parking and a bit overpriced but nonetheless I will be back! read more

I have seen Kimura at their old location several times, but never stopped by to try them out. They are now near the intersection of the 10 and the 35 freeway. Their parking lot is small and limited, but after a certain time, you can park at the parking lot across the street. My wife and I both (independently) chose to order the tonkatsu ramen. We both considered it one of the best ramen we've had in San Antonio so far. Unfortunately, there is no kid's menu, but a suggestion was to order a side of rice with some ground pork. Luckily, it tasted good enough for the kiddos to eat. I am upset that I didn't realize it was happy hour when I went, or else I would've ordered a couple orders of gyoza also. Lastly, I had the Crazy 88 to drink. The sound of matcha and sparkling wine (along with gun and lemon) just piqued my interest and it was pretty good. I just wish it was a larger glass :) I will definitely come back here. read more

Kimura - Tantanmen Ramen - Ramen Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

Place: The interior looks like align with agriculture design where they used woods and steel. It has 5 tables available and bar table with high chair. They also have outside sitting. Service: The time we went there it is already packed, so we waited for a bit before we've been approached but as soon as they talk to us they route us to our table and provide the menu. Order been taken, we waited for some time. Food: We ordered ramen and charcoaled edamame. The charcoaled edamame was really good (spicy) while for the ramen this kind of tricky for me. Ramen broth and noodles are most important ingredient for me in ramen. They used a different kind of noodles that am not keen to but it was fine I (will) still eat it (if ever). The broth, it does not taste like a Japanese ramen broth, it taste more like a soup from Thai/Malaysia because of the spice they used in it. I can't identify which spice they use that it taste like it is some kind of a soup from Thai or Malaysia. BUT the toppings are really good, especially their mushroom, it's my first time to taste a sweet mushroom and I like it. read more

The inside was super cute and the staff were very friendly. The food wasn't bad by any means, but I wasn't a huge fan. The onigiri were lacking meat and flavor, the pot stickers were good as well as the katsudon. Now what you all came here for... the tonkotsu ramen. Honestly... I was underwhelmed. It had sort of an off flavor that I can't explain, as well as a super foamy top layer on the brother. Again it wasn't bad per se, but I have 100% had better tonkotsu ramen many other places. Over all I'd eat here again if I was in the are and wanted ramen but I would definitely not drive out of my way to come here. read more
