    Red (bottom) and White (top) Hakata Ramen
    Stacy S.

    It was solid ramen. I got the Red Hakata and my bf got the White one. Both bowls had noodles that were nice and chewy. Broth came out hot and creamy- nice umami flavor. Red Hataka is suppose to be spicy, but it didn't burn my mouth and make me choke- it's Japanese spicy; just some sprinkle to add flavor- no actual kick. White Hakata differed in flavor in what I felt like it had a veggie note to the broth and almost garlicky. My bf enjoyed it. Also got Tempura Gyoza. It was standard pan fried gyoza. Had to ask the waiter twice for water before he brought it over though... but he was nice. They had college volleyball playing on the tv- something to watch.

    I came here because I had a craving for chicken katsu curry, usually I need to drive to Cupertino. It's yummy, I ordered the katsu chicken breast curry with ramen, I'm just happy to find a Japanese restaurant that offers ramen and curry. Kushi Tsuru is located at an outdoor mall on Main Street in Morgan Hill with other ethnic cuisines places here to try out. I'll have to come back again for their seasonal black garlic ramen. The place has nice appetizers, as well as other Japanese dishes. There's plenty of free parking at this mall. Try out this small but cute restaurant, it's a good spot to meet up with your friends or for a lunch date.

    Traditional Karaage
    Kenneth S.

    One of my new favorite ramen places! We got Chicken Karaage, Black Garlic Ramen and Yuzu Ramen. They got two chicken karaage options - thigh vs breast meat. Chicken was seasoned well and had the right crunch, served with katsu sauce. The black garlic ramen broth and ramen noodle texture were on point. The chashu was soft enough and tasted good! The yuzu ramen had the right amount of tang and had a quite enjoyable refreshing broth. I did like both ramen flavors but would have preferred if the eggs were softer boiled and seasoned. Service was friendly and frequent enough with water refills and checks. Would definitely visit again for a ramen craving in Morgan Hill!

    Very cozy place for your Japanese food cravings

    Even though this wasn't exactly what we were looking for, we decided to try their food and it didn't disappoint! We loved the flavor! We loved the serving size! The place was small but very clean, and organized even giving a calming vibes. Great and fast service! I hope to be able to come back here for more pork belly rice bowl and maybe try their ramen, the photo looks delish!

    BEaeF CURRY BASE

    Finally tried this place out. I'm always looking for a good curry rice bowl. Kushi Tsuru hit the spot! I usually order the yellow chicken curry but this time I tried the beef curry. So good and tender. It was like curry flavored beef stew with a little heat. My wife enjoyed the salmon bento box. All reasonably priced. We shared the Gyoza appetizer. I was delighted that our server,Tagi accommodated our request for steamed Gyoza. This is a big deal for me since it seems like most places only know how to deep fry everything. Cozy wood paneled dining room with flat screens displaying Asian cooking and destinations. We will return....

    Small place with only a few tables neatly arranged where I didn't feel cramped. Service was fine, no complain. One person waitress on a Sunday afternoon, friendly, courteous. Food came out fast as we were the only one at that time. The place did get filled up by the time we left. Food flavor was good but with a couple of misses. The curry rice was more on the runny side, which I actually prefer instead of the more starchy thick curry ones. The curry sauce tasted really good with a little hint of peppery spice without over powering the curry flavor. I ordered the pork katsu add-on but got croquette instead. However, that croquette was excellent. Nice crunch on the outside, soft creamy sweet mashed potato on the inside. My gripe on this dish, 4 small chunks of beef. What's with these places that are just so stingy with the protein. Red (spicy) Hakata ramen was not bad. The soup was also on the lighter side, not the thick creamy pork bone flavor I expected for a Hakata style ramen. It was not bad, just not what I expected. Spice level was good to my preference. The noodles though was also too soft for my expectation of ramen noodles. Hakata ramen, AFAIK, do use straight thin noodles, but it should still have some chewy bounce, and I do prefer the chewy ones for a ramen bowl. Not sure if it was a fluke Price point was ok. I think a tiny bit on the high side considering the portion. Tipping practice was also ok, waitress was kind of busy taking care of other tables, so not one of those that stares you down while you decide what to do with Tips selection. Overall an ok place for a quick ramen fill whenever I am in the area, but not one that I would crave to go to.

    Takoyaki, so good!
    Joyce G.

    Recommended!! Our family's go to place around south county if we are craving for Ramen, Udon or Takoyaki! It's a small restaurant but meets all of our expectation. They have quick service and friendly staff too!

    Red Hakata Ramen
    Elias F.

    Was craving ramen on a rainy day and decided to check out Kushi Tsuru. They did not disappoint! The dining room is spotless with a warm, inviting wood-accented aesthetic. Having just returned from Japan, I've been missing authentic ramen, and their red hakata ramen hit the spot. The spice was mild but flavorful, and my server, MJ, suggested adding extra spice next time. The broth was the true standout -- rich, balanced, and absolutely delicious. The noodles had a great texture, and the fresh corn added a nice touch. MJ also recommended the beef curry bowl, which I'm already eyeing for my next visit. The yuzu soda he suggested was refreshing and paired perfectly with the meal. Looking forward to my next lunch here! Thank you!

    Delicious food and friendly service. It's quite small inside, but clean and cozy. Coming in for dinner on a Saturday night we thought it would be busy, but thankfully it was not. I had a small chicken karaage bowl with rice which was delicious. It came out nice and hot. The edamame was ok, seasoned enough with salt. Our ramen was yummy but wished the broth came out piping hot. Great place to try!

    As part of our "experience a bunch of different Japanese restaurants before our Japan trip next month", we decided to check out this place. It's super tiny but the Ramen was surprisingly good. One of the better bowls of Ramen I've had in the South Bay. Pricing was not too bad too. I'd come back here again.

    I haven't had a good bowl of ramen in so long. I'm so happy I came across this location! Everything was fresh to order, and soooo tasty. Best ramen I've had in a very long time! I am definitely going to go back soon! What a gem! The inside is beautiful designed too. Very cozy and transports you to another world. Bravo! I recommend the cream soda, very tasty. Service was excellent and the lady was so kind.

    Really small spot in a strip small, like other reviews they really need to advertise. Without yelp I wouldn't have found them. I love the sparkling drinks they have, my favorite was the yuzu flavored sparkling water. Karrage was crispy and the chicken was moist and well seasoned in side. As for the ramen we got both the red and white Hakata ramen as it is the only two choices for Ramen listed. The broth was both rich and yummy. As other yelper have mentioned the boiled eggs were not marinated, and I wish I had a choice of bigger noodles or spinach noodles. The chashu pork is my favorite, it was so flavorful and delicious. Service was quick, and pleasant. I love the wooden spoon thar accompanies the ramen bowels.

    Hakata White Ramen
    Vernon M.

    I was in the mood for ramen, but I didn't think Morgan Hill would have one. I was pleasantly surprised to find one in the old Nob Hill shopping center (no longer called that, but that is how far back I go . . . ) on the corner of Main and Hale. I ordered the Hakate White Ramen, which came in about five minutes after I ordered. The broth was rich with a taste of bacon (probably from the flavorful chashu). The noodles were plenty (I actually was content by the end of the meal - usually I need to order a second batch of noodles to get to that content stage), and the broth wonderfully tasty (one of the few ramen places where I wanted to drink the broth, but unfortunately, I was too full to continue!). I look forward to eating here again to try out their other offerings. Having a ramen place in Morgan Hill is special enough, but to have a good, solid ramen shop is an extra bonus!

We were greeted by a very friendly waitress. She said we could sit wherever we wanted, asked if we've been in before, and told us about the specials. The interior is cozy, it kind of reminded me of dive bar vibes. They have a lot of drinks on tap and some frozen slushies. I opted for organic iced tea since I don't drink. When I went to the bathroom, I noticed one of the slushies was non-alcoholic so I might try that next time. We ordered the Bourbon Bacon Burger with Chili Cheese Fries and the Supreme wood-fired pizza. The burger was fantastic! The BBQ sauce was delicious, the bacon and onion rings were crispy, and the fries were great. I enjoyed the chili, but I didn't think the cheese sauce or sour cream really stood out. I thought the crust on the pizza was perfect, I really enjoyed the wood-fired vibe and fresh toppings. This would probably be my favorite pizza if they used better mozzarella. For now, Bizza is holding the top spot for me since they use Butcher's Son mozzarella, and in my opinion, it's the best vegan mozzarella sub I've ever had from pizza spots so far. Even though I have notes, I still think the overall meal was a home run and the staff were super friendly so they get 5-stars in my book.

Finally she came over about 10 minutes in, and asked for our order after seeing we had a menu. The gentleman that brought out meal out asked if everything looked right and asked if we needed anything. Partly thru our meal we were all so hott because it's 100 degrees outside and I guess they don't have Air conditioning so we were waiting for water, finally I went up myself with our glasses and asked for them to be filled. I waited there because I didn't want to risk her taking forever to bring the glasses back to our table. Again, great food but service from the waitress could be better.

Wings had a good flavor, only thing I would take away is they are not crispy or crunchy so soft skinned. Still good flavor just not a fantastic texture. Pizza was good, akin to Mountain Mike's. Nice crust, lots of toppings, very fresh vegetables. They don't have a salad bar, also was sad for me. It was good, just not $80 good Might come back and try Indian foods, maybe if someone else is paying. Looks like a good place for a no -kids event or a work party or sports gathering. It's sizable, no video or pool or games but I imagine you could bring board games.
