On my 2nd visit with friends, I found the ramen to be very worth the price point. The Yuzu Shio Ramen is very refreshing if you are seeking a ramen that is light on the palate. Tsukemen here is very good and having my noodles hot made the experience better on that. The karaage may be on the more pricy side than most places, but the pieces are pretty big and 1 serving can be shared with 2-3 people comfortably. My experience here reminds me when I was studying abroad in Japan back in 2015 - very much reminiscent of some of the ramen shops I visited while walking about. I will come back here again for future ramen cravings - this is by far my best ramen pick in Katy/Houston
✨Atmosphere is vibrant, fun, clean, and welcoming.✨Our ramen bowls were delicious! Each bowl has its own unique flavor. We also thoroughly enjoyed the Ike Gesu and the pot stickers.✨The service we received was exceptional. We were seated almost immediately with friendly smiles and our son was given a Kizuki fan and crayons for coloring which he loved!✨Food did came out in a timely manner and the presentation was great. Smelled delicious and the ramens weren’t too hot or too cold.✨Overall was a great restaurant for its atmosphere, delicious food, and friendly staff ?
It’s a cute restaurant and it has nice decorations. The ramen soups were tasty and each one had its unique flavor but nothing special, the pork belly was kinda tough and chewy.I will come back to give it another try, once they been open longer:
First, love the big selections on the menu, not just from ramen but also from the appetizers. You can adjust sodium level for the ramen broth. Substitute the regular noodles with flat, thin, wavy, yam or even Kale noodles. You ave to order the chicken wings! It is so good with their special citric sauce. Their fried chicken salad is the bomb, tasty chicken and huge portion.
We went to try this new ramen restaurant during their soft opening period. We walked in around 1130am and once we came inside and the layout gave a vibe like you were transported to a restaurant in Japan. We were seated in a booth; my booth back side was open where you cannot really lean back or else you would end up touching the people behind you (lol). I like the layout of the menu as there were pictures of ramen bowl and small descriptions. You get everything that is pictured on the menu. Toppings were extra and could add up. I ordered iced green tea; you could see actual leaves and matcha. They will give a large glass canister which cost $9 but you can share. It was light, earthy and refreshing though it is an acquired taste.For appetizers, we ordered:**chicken wings - it came out piping hot which was how I like my food. These wings were large and slightly sweet. It was amazingly juicy as well.** pork gyoza - the skin was thin and the filling was flavorful and moistRamen:**spicy ramen (added pork belly, regular spicy) - not sure I missed the pork belly but I didn't see it in my bowl? Loved the texture of the noodles and the broth had good flavor. The egg was cooked perfectly...runny on the outside. For me it wasnt spicy enough so probably would bump up the spice level a notch. The bowl of ramen was a good size.** son ordered the garlic tonkotsu shoyu ramen - if you love garlic this ramen bowl is for you! It was too garlicky for me but the broth was light and had depth of flavor like my bowl of ramenAlso they gave us unsalted broth in a mug in case the broth was too salty so we could dilute. It was a tad salty for me so I appreciated the thoughtfulness.Service was good but since it was very busy by noon we had to flag down the waitress. The ramen bowls came out first then the apps. So not sure if this was their way of doing things but overall I would return later to try other types of ramen bowl.
Service: Spot on and quick and friendly staffFood: Ramen was pretty good. I had the Garlic Tonkotsu. The noodles had a good bite to it. The broth was a little too rich but that’s better than not having enough depth. Food was filling. I wouldn’t get the pork belly addition again.
The interior was renovated beautifully and it brings you back to Japan. The service was good and staff were friendly. Food was not bad too although to be honest, the portion was slightly smaller than some of the ramen stores around. Would suggest to go with less sodium as the broth can be a little over to the salty side. If you go in a group, they automatically added 18% for lunch to the bill. Then there’s the extra tip of 7%, 5%, 3% or custom. If you did not read the bill properly, you would have added custom to the appropriate lunch amount but that’s tips on top of already preset tips that were charged so do be careful and look at your bill properly before paying or you end up paying $20 for a normal bowl of ramen for lunch.
This place has good customer service. It was our first time there and the waitress explained their menu and how they import certain ingredients from Japan. We ordered the yuzu shio ramen and shoyu ramen, takoyaki octopus, and the potato croquette. The ramen was al dente and I like that this restaurant has low sodium options for their broth which is what I ordered since I think most ramen broths are too salty. They gave me some broth on the side as well with my yuzu shio ramen just in case I want to dilute it more. The waitress gave us a free cup of oolong and green tea as well to go with our food.
Still in their soft opening period, but the vibe was hella cool. Tiffani was super duper friendly as she took her time to introduce the background of the store to us, she walked us through the menu and gave us some helpful suggestions. Their menu is big and varied so, the options are very open.. I ordered a Garlic Tonkotsu, which is a most popular item. It was fantastic (no complaints), the broth was fresh made, the noodles were well cooked, and the display was beautiful. FYI!! They do offer low sodium broth!!!! Surprisingly, this is their very first location in Texas but will be my go-to spot for ramen because it's authentic Japanese!!!!!!5 stars for customer service5 stars for the food5 stars for the vibe
The best Ramen ever! It is the same flavor as what I had in Japan and even better. I used to go to JINYA Ramen but it is nothing comparable to Kizuki! I will now never go to other places for Ramen anymore! Strongly recommending you all to try it out!
