    Sapporo miso ramen (not spicy) front; Sapporo miso ramen (spicy) back
    Qme L.

    Stopped here for Sunday dinner around 5 pm. Was actually just planning on getting soft serve next door but saw that there were several open seats. Between us and another couple with children, we had 4 adults and 3 kids. They have a booth seating towards the back that comfortably fit all of us! Also provided a high chair which was a nice surprise. They gave the kids water in plastic cups too. We tried several items, the omurice with curry sauce, popcorn chicken, tokontsu ramen, spicy miso ramen, matcha pudding, and the jelly dessert. The food arrived promptly and was good, but I would say nothing was outstanding. I felt the portion sizes were a bit small too - much less noodles in the ramen bowls than expected. I ate the entire bowl and wasn't full. What was surprisingly great was the matcha pudding! It comes with a cute little thing of milk you pour over it. Rich matcha flavor. Overall a good place in the area to eat dinner if you have a large group. Glad I gave it another try!

    Cute place, service is good. My veg ramen was tasty but had no salt at all. Prices are decent.

    It's a combination of a little bit Chinese, Japanese, and Taiwanese. I would say overall the food was ok, the amount was generous but also a bit pricey. Some of the food was also too salty.

    We came an hour before closing and quickly ordered a set for two before the kitchen closed. So appreciative that they took our order and got us the food so quick! Such a good value to get a set menu as you can try a bit of everything from popcorn chicken and desserts. I enjoyed being seated in the booths as it's a nice way to chat with friends. The waitstaff still came by periodically to check in and make sure everything was ok.

    Very good ramen spot with the classics as well as original versions. The spicy edemame was also very good. Service was fast, price was affordable.

    Seems like a cool place, we split one thing of noodles. It was the only vegetarian thing that we saw, and we liked, and that looks like it seemed to be a full meal. Between the two of us, it was definitely enough food. We sat at the bar, and towards the end of the meal we saw two of the kitchen workers crouch down and floss, their teeth? Or something? It was rather unappetizing, and one of them did not take off her gloves, and seemed to continue cooking after. I guess because of this I will not be back. It's probably fine that it happened, but I'd rather not see this as a diner.

    For a place that sells ramen, I would actually rather have their kushiyaki (skewers) offering and apps instead! The ramen is decent and scratches the itch but I still think the broth at totto ramen is my favorite. The skewers were really yummy - soft, tender, well seasoned, and much more affordable than other skewer places near by. The agadashi tofu was also a highlight. But for the affordable pricing, this is a great place to have on rotation for ramen. Service was ok. Staff was nice. I did a walk in and there were booths clearly empty but we were told we couldn't sit there because it was lunch rush time so we ended up at a table by the door. So if you want a full experience, I guess book or call ahead. Cute decor, music wasn't too loud, atmosphere was clean and bright.

    Came here on a weeknight for dinner and were seated quickly. The place was busy, but not packed. Decor inside felt modern with great wood decal. It also was clean and well lit. They have a great set menu for two which we split - it was a great amount of food for a good price. The food itself was okay, nothing spectacular but all around solid. Ramen was tasty, apps were good, and the dessert was okay. The dessert honestly is something I could skip for next time, but everything else was fine. If craving ramen in Brookline, Kyuramen is a good spot!

    We visited Kyuramen on a Friday night around 8:30 PM and had a short wait before being seated. Including the wait, service, and our meal, we left just before they closed at 10 PM. The space was smaller than expected, but we were still comfortable since we were seated in an enclosed booth. It gave us a bit of privacy and made the experience more relaxed. I ordered the Katsuobushi Pork Ramen, while the rest of my group got the Tonkatsu Omurice Combo. We also tried a few drinks: Island Breeze, Lychee Lagoon, and Thai Iced Tea. The Thai tea was especially good. It was sweet, smooth, and refreshing. The ramen was the right portion and very filling. The broth was flavorful and the noodles had a nice texture. The egg was a little overcooked in my opinion, but that might have been because I waited too long to start eating. Everyone who got the omurice enjoyed it. The tonkatsu was crispy and well-cooked. One thing we noticed was that even though three people ordered the same dish, their food came out at different times. It also would have been helpful if knives were provided to cut the tonkatsu. One of my friends mentioned she would have liked the option to cut the egg and pour the sauce over the omurice herself. The servers do that for you when they bring the dish to the table. The service was friendly and the overall atmosphere was welcoming.

    It's freezing out and we stumbled upon this restaurant in a very collegiate environment. Service was nice and hospitable. They are known for their Ramen soups. I started with ordering the beef and scallop yakitori. The scallops were horrific. Basically it was dipped in soy sauce and it was very hard in texture. The beef wasn't too bad. At that point, I thought this is a precursor to disaster. But then the noodle soup showed up and it all changed my mind. My spicy tonkontsu soup was excellent! They also had a special of the beef flank noodle soup, which was good. We had the warm sake, which was good. That was needed to warm us too. I think if you need a quick place to eat, this is a good place for someone craving Ramen. Ideal for students around the area.

    Kyuramen - Brookline is such a gem! The moment you walk in, you're greeted by these adorable small booths that make the whole experience feel cozy and fun--perfect for a casual date or chill dinner with friends. The food? So good. The yakitori was tasty, but the real star of the show was the braised pork--melty, flavorful, and absolutely crave-worthy. I'd come back just for that. Service was spot-on: friendly, prompt, and super attentive without being intrusive. I especially appreciated the service button at each table--makes it so easy to get help without flagging anyone down. It's the kind of no-stress dining that makes you want to linger a little longer. Prices are very reasonable for the quality and experience. Definitely adding this to my go-to list for satisfying, easy ramen nights!

    It's unfortunate that businesses like these rely on fabricated 5-star reviews from their customers.. I didn't take a picture of it, but there were signs all over our booth that offered a free dessert for a Yelp or Google "check-in". After asking our waiter, he said that this actually needed to be a 5 star review and that his manager had gotten mad at him in the past for giving out dessert offers if someone's review wasn't 5 stars. This makes me feel like I, as a customer, can't trust anything that anyone says on these restaurant review platforms. I have dined at Kyuramen a couple times and it's flashy, making the food all very visually appealing, but the taste doesn't live up to expectations for me. It is also a bit pricey, so keep that in mind if you end up visiting.

    Terri C.

    I see kyuraramen popping up in different places and I can see why! The ramen is fresh and the soup is heartwarming on a brisk autumn day. I ordered the spicy soup and it had some heat. We wanted to omit some of the toppings - they were very accommodating. The soft boiled egg was perfectly cooked, not runny and not hard boiled. Service was quick. The decor is modern with some private booths that have a curtain for extra privacy. Nice vibe and great food.
