I'm picky about ramen - it has to be delicious, obviously, but also a good balance between quality,…read morevariety of options, taste, temperature, texture, and value. Kiwami comes pretty close to meeting my criteria. Quality: yes. 100%. Excellent ingredients, tasteful decor, sturdy serving bowls, whimsical ladles for slurping broth. Weird that the chopsticks are disposable while other utensils are not. Variety: erm. Yes for people who are not plant-based. I would love to see additional vegan options in all entree categories (tofu poke bowl, please). The veggie ramen was fabulous as was the edamame. Just more. Taste: A+. The broth was complex and glorious, the kale noodles lovely, the toppings (brussels spouts, broccoli, tofu, avocado) all prepared and seasoned perfectly. Temperature: yes. Nice and hot. Perfect. Texture: noodles were cooked perfectly with just the right amount of chew, however toppings were all pretty homogenous in texture. The raw greens on top were a little strange. It would have been nice to have a crispy or crunchy element. Value: I mean, Kiwami is a ramen place on Bardstown Road. I didn't expect a deal. I paid $20 for a bowl of ramen plus tip. Not ridiculous, but also not a price that allows me to visit as often as I would like. Overall, Kiwami has earned my respect and likely repeat business, especially if they add more vegan options and offer a repeat customer discount.

Nice interior, very good service…read more We arrived just before happy hour ended so we took advantage and ordered two appetizers, one pork and one vegetable gyoza. Both were very fresh and delicious. My entree was the Kiwami Shiro (pork broth, scallion, mushroom, bamboo, egg, pulled pork, sliced pork, noodles). The broth was incredible and pulled the whole thing together. I definitely want to come here again and try more items off the menu.

We started with the edamame, which we really loved, but it didn't taste like the ingredients in the description, it tasted more sesame oil-y. All of the different ramens we got were really tasty, really nicely done, and a definite upgrade from what we have near us. The locale is super cute, I appreciated the Akatsuki artwork on the walls. The staff was friendly. Would definitely recommend!

The ingredients are well portioned for the price from my experience and they have plenty of employees who know how to help you decide. They know the menu well and most are people who have worked there since the beginning or at least from their days in Mid City Mall. The new location is an insanely cool improvement too and they have a doggo fenced in outside on good weather days who likes pets and his names Bomi. Pic is old I will take new photos next time

Five stars, no notes. I love this place…read more The staff is so welcoming, funny, and great at what they do. Every time I have a cocktail it is delightfully balanced. I think my cocktail was called the Tokyo Pop? Not positive but you have to get it. Gin, bubbles, sake, and a hint of lemon in a flute glass. Refreshing, a hint of sweet, a hint of lemon, and extremely drinkable. It would be too easy to throw a ton of these back. But I was demure and had one. I enjoyed the calamari--my go-to here. Crispy, with a bit of heat from pickled peppers, a bit a of sweet form a sweet glaze, and a nice herby zing from mint, herbs, and scallions. They also top the calamari with a a nice portion of greens dressed in a lemon vinaigrette, making this appetizer feel close to a light meal. I am absolutely obsessed with the ponzu mayo that comes on the side. An absolutely delightful touch. I also enjoyed the chocolate cream pot. Talk about decadent. I love that it is served with berries, because you need that tartness to balance out the richness. Fully indulgent. Bonus points: I working fireplace. (And holiday decor still up--this never bothers me.) The ambiance is always lovely, with something iconic on the TV always playing. This spot is one of my fave representation of the Louisville food scene.

I was fortunate to be with a large party and we decided to order several dishes and share. Everything was delicious, and the banana flower salad was memorable and we ordered two. I'd also recommend the veggie sides, carrots, bok choy, and brussels sprouts. Chik'n & Mi is a wonderful place for a date, solo dining or spending time with friends. Overall, this is a wonderful place that accommodated all of our needs.

I highly recommend District 6 and will definitely be back! Absolutely worth mentioning The Short Rib Pho was to die for amongst other food items we ordered.

Then I ordered the Black garlic Tonkotsu (24 hour pork broth with black garlic oil topped with pork chashu, shredded black mushrooms, soft boiled marinated egg and green onion. Add the optional chili oil, you wont be disappointed! Was sad that the drink offerings were so limited and so I had to settle for plain water (I dont drink soda and that seemed to be all they had that day). Service was too much on the slow side considering it was just my table and then three other customers in there, but we were told at one point they were in the middle of training someone new so I can excuse that. Interior is very cool, much nicer than the weird, stark, church basement feel of the cheesesteak place, it actually has a personality now! Go here, it is phenomenal, you wont be disappointed!

For appetizer we ordered Hawaiian poke salad, the fish was not fresh at all!! The marinated egg that comes with it looked nasty af & they def froze it & reheated it. I do not recommend the sushi portion & I asked to substitute the reg salmon to smoked & the waiter did not know wtf I was talking about & I was sitting there like bruh. They do not serve smoked salmon on their menu which is crazy for a place that serves sushi, anywayssss. Their ramen bussing af, & the meat portions are insane. I ate mine all the way down!! My partner said my pork/chicken broth was better than his beef & imo pork ramen is superior! Portions are crazy & it was extremely filling!! We both ordered bobas & dessert, their green tea cheesecake is mild & subtle of flavor & creamy. I enjoyed my galaxy honeydew tea with strawberry popping boba that the server recommended, but it seems at the bottom they put chai seeds too? I'm not entirely sure what was at the bottom but it did add interesting texture! We def would go back for just ramen & desserts! Place was nicely decorated & I love the simple interior.

The food comes out surprisingly quickly given how small the kitchen is, and the staff is always very friendly. It's actually the place my kids request more than anywhere else in Louisville, and they each have their own favorite dishes. The bibimbap in the stone bowl is excellent, but my personal favorite is the tofu stew, which is absolutely perfect on a cold winter night. In the summer, I tend to go for the chicken wings or the Korean pancakes. Honestly, I want to try everything on the menu eventually because everything we've had so far has been that good.
