    Spacious dining area
    Tammie B.

    We tried the spicy poke bowl and some appetizers which were tasty. We also got a rainbow roll which was just ok but won't let that stop us from coming back for a second try. The decor is very nice but the dining room walls and booths could use a good cleaning.

    Service was good. Food was good too. I had the spicy chicken ramen with great flavor. She had the pineapple fried rice and was good as well. I am sure we will go back and try more food. Ambiance was average.

    Chicken katsu don

    Delicious, good portion size. Chicken katsu don came with miso soup and side rice. 4.3/5

    Tempura Shrimp

    Decided to try this place out. The food was surprisingly really good. It's a small place. Somewhere to grab a quick Friday night dinner. Relaxed atmosphere. The food came out fast. The wait staff is good. The portion size of the ramen is huge. No need to get extra soup like most ramen places if tried. They also give you the cutest little ladle to eat your soup with. (so cute).

    Came here with my cousin for lunch on a Wednesday. I had been to another Airi Ramen, so I wanted to check this one out! Just like the Airi Ramen location, this one had great staff and food! We started with some edamame while waiting for our ramen, and it was the perfect start to our meal, nice and hot with just the right hint of salt. Our ramen came out quickly and was delicous. The wonton ramen had a lot of wontons, and they had a nice and juicy chicken filling. This location is a bit bigger than the other one I have been to. It had beautiful lantern decorations

    Black Garlic Tonkotsu Ramen
    Bryce B.

    The food was excellent and fresh! I had the Black Garlic Tonkotsu Ramen and it was absolutely delicious. If you want to take it up a level and you like spice, I would suggest adding chili oil. The service was fast and the staff were courteous. They take care of their customers. I will say that the restaurant is small and cozy. It would be great to get orders to go if we lived closer. The only reason the review is not a 5 star review is because the pork chashu was a little over seared making it tough and crunchy on the outside, but not in a good way. I plan on trying another menu item next time! Overall, it is one of the best ramen places I've tried!

    Spicy Tuna Roll
    Fiona L.

    I haven't been here since they renovated, and I must say it looks really nice now! Before it was dark and kind of dingy, now it's lighter and brighter! It seems like they've expanded but I'm not too sure, maybe the renovation made it look bigger than before. So onto the food, my husband and I weren't too hungry but wanted a light lunch so we got takoyaki, basil chicken karaage, and spicy tuna roll. The karaage came out piping hot which is a good thing since it's fresh, couldn't really taste the basil but can't go wrong with popcorn chicken! The takoyaki is one of my faves, I always order it! The spicy tuna roll was just the right amount of spice, some places make it way too spicy. However I'm used to spicy tuna made spicy with the spicy mayo rather than a dry spicy seasoning, so a tad disappointed in that but that maybe a regional thing. Anyway if you haven't been since the reno, definitely go back as the vibe in there is much better!

While…read moreI have visited the Bellaire location, I happened to be in this area and my friend wanted to give it a try here. We arrived around 5:00 p.m., and since the restaurant was not very busy, we were seated immediately. Our server was friendly and attentive, and all of our food came out surprisingly quickly. Since it was my friend's first time visiting Kyuramen, we ordered a variety of dishes to give them a good introduction to the menu. Naturally, we had to try the restaurant's signature omurice. We ordered it with tonkatsu and sampled both the curry and demi-glace sauces. The omelet itself was perfectly cooked, with a silky, soft texture, and the rice was incredibly buttery. However, I thought the rice could have used a bit more seasoning, as it lacked flavor on its own. Between the two sauces, the demi-glace was the clear winner. Its rich, savory flavor balanced the creaminess of the egg and rice beautifully, while the curry tasted flat and reminded me too much of an instant curry cube. We also ordered the Kyushu Spicy Tonkotsu Ramen. While it was a decent bowl of ramen, it did not particularly stand out, and I was disappointed that it had almost no heat despite ordering the hottest spice level. The broth was enjoyable but lacked the bold spice I was expecting. Finally, we tried the popcorn chicken. It was good, but not among the best I've had. The breading was noticeably heavier than I prefer, and I wish the restaurant had been more generous with the fried basil, which usually adds a lot of fragrance and flavor. In fact, I think several local boba cafés, such as Teahouse, serve a better version. Overall, I walked away feeling disappointed. While the omurice with demi-glace was the highlight of the meal, everything else ranged from average to underwhelming, especially considering how much praise this restaurant receives. For the prices they charge, I expected dishes with more flavor and better execution. Between the bland curry, underwhelming ramen, and mediocre popcorn chicken, I don't see myself going out of my way to come back, not only to this location but to the others, too.

It has a lot of cool Japanese style decorations / wall art, and they're usually showing Pokémon on tv! The inside is very pretty / appealing to me, and it had a nice chill vibe. I will take more pictures next time. The service has always been overall solid, but my fiancée and I's favorite waitress is named Jennifer I believe. She's very sweet and attentive. We made it a point to ask her name last time we went(and somehow I'm iffy if I got it right). We were being served by a waiter who honestly was kinda meh, and then Jennifer saw us and greeted us. She then went to tell him to get us water, and I then just asked her if she could tend to us instead. She's great and we will always ask for her anytime we go moving forward. Onto the main subject: the food! I've ordered multiple different items here, but I'll start with the appetizers. I've tried the Brussels sprouts tempura, which were just ok to both my wife and I. It seemed like it was plain unseasoned Brussels sprouts fried lol. We've also had the fried shrimp shumai which was solid to me, but the Mrs said it was too fishy. Ramen: I've had the tonkotsu black (pork) multiple times, the spicy shrimp ramen, the Kami Goyu (sliced NY Strip) and the spicy chicken ramen. I really like all of the broths and noodles, but I feel like the pork, chicken, steak and shrimp proteins could improve. The pork seems really fatty / chewy but not in the way I'm used to. My wife doesn't care for it either. The chicken is like a thinly sliced chicken breast and seemed like it was cooked separately then dumped into the broth last second. The Mrs says it reminds her of a plain Costco chicken. I still ate this more the the pork, and pork is my usual go to. The shrimp was ok to me, and I'm not really sure how I'd describe it but I ate it all. I don't think I'd order the Kami Goyu again as I did not care for the steak, but I did eat it since I don't like wasting food. I think the spicy chicken ramen may be my favorite overall. My absolute favorite thing here though, is the Akuma roll. All I can say is I love it, and I'll be ordering it everytime I go. It is a raw sushi roll. All in all, I know we'll be back! Note: you can try 2 different types of ramen if you order the yin yang ramen, minus their lobster ramen.

I ordered the hot stone mixed rice and it was yummy. I did notice it wasn't as spicy as I am used to so I asked for more of the hot pepper paste. The paste itself is what wasn't super hot but it was still good. Food was also served quickly so I appreciate that. I also ordered a dish to go. The black bean noodles were slightly less flavorful than what we are used to but they were still good. The main drawback though is they did not give any side dishes for the to go item which is interesting. You don't pay less for it and I'm not sure why it wasn't included. I've never had Korean takeout where they did not include any side dishes on a to go order. All in all, the first visit was more a 3.5 but out of good faith, we will call it a 4 star. They did seem to cater to many regulars so it's possible the dishes are toned down for locals? Not sure though. Again, food was good but as someone who is part Korean, the dishes were not as flavorful as I am used to. I would likely eat here again but not sure this would really satisfy the craving for Korean dishes specifically.
