It was a dark and stormy night…read more... Finally a cold moment to come to probably the best ramen spot in all of Long Beach and enjoy a terrific bowl of spicy miso broth with plenty of noodles, chicken meat and everything else. The spice level was actually perfect. I was also surprised that I didn't feel full after having consumed every single drop. My partner and I enjoyed the gyoza while she partook the crispy shrimp appetizer. The help looked after our needs for water and brought out food swiftly. It's a small place but we got a table pretty fast. They have outdoor seating with heaters pointing in the right spots. Parking was a small challenge but manageable. I'm happy to have made it out and experience great food.

Went to try. Hours advertise 12-9. Was not open. Very disappointed that it was misleadingread more

Lunch with some friends and this was their pick. It was a great one and I was very pleased with it…read more The parking was a little confusing as there was construction going on in the back area where parking and the front entrance is. It shares parking with a couple other business and the entrance is just off the alleyway off Carson. Construction in the back did halt some of the parking spaces and entrance on one side. I didn't know where the entrance was walking around the block which found out later that the entrance was where parking is. I believe you could get on the waitlist but it was still early during lunch time when we arrived that it wasn't necessary. The restaurant itself isn't that big. A good amount of Asian modern style seating. Menu is pretty limited but gets down to the punch. Ramen, a couple of rice dishes and starters. Basically it. They had some alcoholic drink options too. We started off with some beers, the crispy chicken which was really nice. Thick chunks of thighs lightly deep fried and served with a dipping sauce. Juicy and tender. Entrees, the tonkatsu which you could make into a combo that comes with a side salad, and with salmon poke bowl or spicy tuna bowl for an additional fee. The broth for the ramen was quite tasty and paired really well with everything that added to it. And very filling. Also had the pork rice bowl with pork chashu, green onions, poached egg, spinach on top of rice. That was quite tasty and filling as well. There's a small and large option. Lastly the vegan ramen with sesame miso broth, broccolini, corn, bean sprouts, soy meat, tofu, baby kale with chili oil. Food was quite tasty and very filling. Service was great with friendly staff. Didn't take long for the items to arrive. The place isn't that big so it does get busy.

Writing this review on the food we ordered - salmon poke and pork buns - because I know they are…read moreknown for their ramen. I was craving poke and my boyfriend came across this place. We ordered via third party app because the preparation of the poke sounded intriguing and different. The food came in cute packaging. When we opened the containers, in my opinion there was too much rice/quinoa to fish portion. I did enjoy the taste of the poke. It had bits of sour notes from the apple dressing, which is different from what you normally order with poke. The avocado balances out the sourness. And the poke surprisingly pairs well with quinoa. The pork buns were really delicious! It has that umami taste you look for when eating pork. The meat was very tender - easy to bite and chew. The bun was nice and soft - had good texture. And the onions that came on it was good. You don't get that oniony, bitter taste that lingers in your mouth. Overall, I enjoyed the food. Poke was good but idk if I'd order it again because the rice-fish portions are off. But I definitely need to try the ramen cos I know that's what they're known for.

We ordered the Tonkotsu ramen with shrimp tempura, Thai spicy hot wing and the Spicy tuna poke rice bowl. The spicy wing was the best choice among the 3. The flavor is very well balanced and it's not too spicy. You can taste the tanginess of the Thai chili sauce with a hint of sweetness. The Tonkotsu ramen has a mild flavor for me compared to other ramen I have tasted, but still pretty decent. The spicy tuna poke bowl has a medium spiciness for me but overall everything was good. The parking will be either street parking or in the paid parking structure beside it.

Found this place as one of the few open restaurants at 10:38pm…read more We were seated promptly upon arriving and helped out by a waitress working solo. We ordered the vegan bun as well as two bowls of ramen, one was made vegetarian and the other was shrimp and chicken (blanking on the name). Both were phenomenal, super filling, and flavorful. My only issue is that the broth wasn't piling hot, so it cooled down and thickened up pretty quickly for mine (shrimp and chicken ramen). I will definitely be back here if I'm in the area and it's late!

She was so helpful, coming over to our table to assist with moving around the meat on the grill as well as recommending additions to our meal (Try the Beet Wraps, like the rice wrap but it's made from beet so it's sour and crunchy). Jo deserves recognition for her contribution to this restaurant ! Go get KBBQ here ! The food was bomb & they do those FISHBOWL drinks.

Decent spot. Came by for dinner with a larger group…read more We definitely over-ordered, but made a big dent for sure! We got seated outside. Service was below average. With the amount we ordered, they had difficulty placing all the food on our table. Side refills and overall cadence of food being brought out was a bit unorthodox. Pricier side, though meat quality was pretty good. Small lot in the back, otherwise, street parking only.

I had been craving…read moreThai food and there aren't many options over on my neck of the woods so we made the drive to Long Beach. Upon arriving, we were greeted and asked to sit to wait for a table. It was busy but not crowded. The waitress handed us menus to look at while we waited for a table which was a nice gesture and allowed us to be ready when seated. It took less than 10 min to get seated. Once seated, they were fairly quick to come and take our order. We ordered: 1. Satay chicken 2. Yellow Curry with Chicken 3. Beef Pad See Ew and 4. Shrimp Pad Thai Everything was absolutely amazing! I could eat yellow curry for the rest of my life and this was one of the best ones I've had. We did get a red Eden cocktail and a beer. The cocktail was good! Not too sweet or strong. Service was great, too! Friendly and very attentive. The restaurant itself is very clean and the decor is very demure haha it's cute and spacious. Very welcoming! This is such a hidden gem! I'm so happy we decided to try this place out. We will definitely be back!! Worth the drive!!

KIN Thai Cuisine in Long Beach off Broadway is a really solid spot…read more Parking is available, but it is limited, so just keep that in mind depending on the time you go. The restaurant itself is nice and clean, including the restrooms, which I always appreciate. The staff was very customer service oriented and did a great job making suggestions and giving tips about the menu and spice levels, which was super helpful. I started with the Money Bags, which are basically fried dumplings. Mine were a little overcooked, almost close to burnt. They still had decent flavor, but I'd personally rate them about a 2.9 out of 5. I also had the green papaya salad with mild spice, and the spice level was perfect, especially for people who are sensitive to heat. I usually stick around medium spice at Thai restaurants, but even the mild here still gives you a nice kick. For my drink, I got the Thai tea, which came topped with a Thai tea popsicle that slowly melted into the drink. Such a cute touch, creative, and tasty. For my entrée, I had the basil garlic sauce with sliced steak and a side of rice, which I really enjoyed. For dessert, we shared the mango sticky rice. It was good, but I do feel like it was a little overpriced for the portion size. Maybe part of that is because of the specialty rice they use that has the purple hue. I know a few places in Long Beach where you can get more for the same price. That said, the presentation was really cute with the flower garnish and everything looked beautiful. The atmosphere was nice. It has an open kitchen concept, so you can actually see the cooking happening, which adds to the experience. Seating is somewhat limited and the tables are fairly close together in certain sections, especially where the divider walls are, so you can definitely hear nearby conversations depending on where you sit. Great food, clean restaurant, and strong customer service. I'd definitely come back. Flavor Profile (for reference): Umami-forward (savory, salty depth) Acidic or bright (tangy + sour) Pungent and intense (spicy and bitter notes) Drink Preference (for reference): Bitter-forward cocktails Balanced acidity Light sweetness only, not overly sugary

So glad we went at a great time where it wasn't busy and overwhelming. I appreciated the helpfullness of our waitress, down to recommendations and service. The LYCHEETINI was entertaining and delicious! My husband loved the SALMON POKÉ MINI TACOS as much as I loved the CRISPY RICE WITH SPICY TUNA. We both enjoyed the GARLIC RICE that was served on a hot plate that got the rice crispy and yummy. The JINYA TONKOTSU BLACK was devoured by the both of us as well. They have several locations and, make sure you check before you go, but they have happy hour on the weekends and that's a plus right there!

Perfect hangover cure…read more The staff is always nice and service is quick, you probably won't be in here longer than an hour. Highly recommend the combo where you get the ramen and an appetizer.
