This. Is. My. Favorite. Ramen. Shop. Ever.I've gone multiple times, driving one and a half to two hours just to go and come back home cause it is just that good.As an appetizer for the table, I typically order the gyoza and takoyaki, and both satisfy. I order the Large Chashu Ramen, which comes with 13 pieces of sliced chashu, bamboo shoots, and green onion. I add an egg for additional cost, but well worth it. The curly noodles have a wonderful chewy texture and are very easy to pick up with your chopsticks. The broth is amazing. Unlike typical tonkatsu broth which is cloudy, their broth is clear and very very flavorful. The word that comes to mind when I think about it is "refreshing". The chashu is also amazing and compliments the soup, being tender and having a distinct flavor (due to their secret marinade).It can get busy, but the wait is worth it. They have the "text when ready" system, so if the wait is 30 minutes to an hour, you can do some shopping at the nearby Target. Also, they will not seat you unless your entire party is there. You can find parking quite easily since it is in a shopping center, just gotta walk a little bit.Overall, Kitakata Ban Nai is the standard with which I use to compare to other ramen shops
i love coming here. i've been here many times on seperate occasions and it has always been a good experience. this place has a nice comfy and cozy vibe. i love coming here when it's chilly outisde, but i love coming here in general. i usally order from here and get it delivered to my home when i want soup or feel a little under the weather. service is always pretty quick. when i went most recently we had the sweetest waiter. her name was hayley and she was very mindful. we asked for a side of ramen noodles for my baby sister and she offered children's utensils. she was very interactive as well. 100% recommended coming here.
Authentic Japanese food! Amazing and attentive staff. I had the Kitakata ramen. Pork broth and Toro pork ( pork belly)...so yummy. Noodles were perfectly cooked. I asked for eggs ( extra topping) they're to dye for... Wow delicious!! Great ambiance.Definitely I'll come back ?
This is absolutely the best Japanese Curry I've ever had! Great quality ingredients and the service is good as well. For the quality of food you're getting the prices reasonable.
Tasty pork flavor broth and chewy noodles. The karaage was moist. Will be back.
? Noodle is chewy and broth is light.I like this combination.Juicy fried chicken ? and Pan fried gyoza are good for appetizer.Famous menu is Kitakata Ramen, Green Shio Ramen and Tsukemen(Dipping Ramen).If you like Ramen, I recommend going this place.
My favorite ramen place that always hits the spot. I miss great ramen since living in Japan, and this place with its amazing noodles and broth makes it so easy to come with my family. This is Japanese ramen (unlike the many ramen shops that try to be). Never left unsatisfied.
Really enjoyed eating here the Tsukemen ramen was good but found the broth a little bland ordered the steam gyozas the came with a green chili sauce and green onion and they were quite delightful with a little kick but not to spicy so ordered more green chili sauce to add to the ramen and this made it awesome, will come back and try other dishes but recommend you give this place a try as for the place it was nice neat and clean and the service went a ove and beyond to make sure I enjoyed my meal with them so give them a try you won't be disappointed.
Chashu ramen is a no-brainer. Add spicy green onions and umami chile to make soar. Include fried chicken and gyoza for boss level.
My favorite Kitakata-style ramen! Just look at those beautiful slices of pork belly.The food took a bit long this time though.
