Here's an update to my original post and I am so glad I decided to come back and try it again…read more There's so much to like about Kiwami Ramen. Namely the food is delicious, but there's more. The people are kind. I went through the drive through and asked what they recommended for ramen and went with the curry with pork. So good. They were helpful and sweet and I love that. You can tell that they genuinely like the food and that's everything. The packaging was very nice, stapled and nestled in a paper bag. I never doubted that it would tumble over or spill all over my car. It came in a large plastic bowl within a bowl and broth was on the bottom so it was easy to add the noodles vegetables and meats to the broth. The second time through pick up I chose the Tonkatsu a miso based broth with pork and egg. How do they get the egg so perfectly cooked? It's magic I think. Can't wait to try all the things.

First time being here. Was promptly greeted and sat. It was…read morenot very busy at all on a Saturday afternoon. Everything we had here was good and the food came very quickly. Even my 4&6 year old loved the ramen and the Avo Tuna. It is a very small place but the inside is decorated nicely. There is a small patio for eating outside as well. I would recommend for a quick bite to eat.

This food was not good. The chicken is fried but tastes like fish.we tried the desert ramen and it was so spicy you couldn't taste anything, and that is coming from people who love spice. The noodles were cooked well but getting the lid off the ramen was obnoxiously harder than it needed to be. Couldn't get over the fishy taste of everything, including the wings and fries.

I got the spicy red miso, small chicken garlic parm, and my husband got the vegan ramen. All were extremely flavorful and fresh tasting and came out quickly. They have a good selection of pre bottled drinks as well to complement the dishes. The red miso definitely satisfied my spicy tastes if you are the type of person who can eat a bag of hot Cheetos without blinking you'll be fine but if you're sensitive to spice you might want to skip that option. On the menu they do have chili peppers next to the items to indicate the spice level. The portions are BIG and definitely worth it. They come in the cutest bowels and have an excellent packing system of the broth is separate from the noodles and other items if you're getting it to go. The actual restaurant is quirky for sure with Easter eggs hidden and anime and Pokémon around the restaurant. This is DEFINITELY better than Obon and Raijen hands down. This is my new favorite ramen spot!

It's not going to be the best you ever had in your life, and if you've been to Southern China, you're not going to be blown away. HOWEVER, it is the homemade taste that makes it good. It doesn't feel like any other restaurant, it feels like you are at somebody's house. Here's the thing, I came in expecting the usual Chinese food affair, but I left genuinely surprised and impressed. This restaurants specializes in Southern Chinese food, which is different from other regions. I am so happy this restaurant and its chains helps the cuisine gain exposure and adds depth to Chinese food in general. Even better, the menu is laid out in a way that it is easy to understand: gluten-free options, allergies, and spice level. The service was great. All though it isn't a "full" sit-down restaurant, everybody there seemed to know the menu well and was happy to be there. As a Cantonese person, it was nice hearing my language being spoken in the kitchen. The restaurant itself was immaculately clean and very modern. We came during early dinner time so the parking lot was near empty and easy to park. Overall, if you've never had Southern Chinese food or are looking for something more authentic than classic Chinese takeaway, definitely check out this location. The cherry on top are the big portion sizes and the price.

He got the curry with chicken katsu level 5. My food was mind blowingly delicious and SPICY. But I knew I was taking a risk since the levels are from 1-10. It was what I hoped it would be and more. Vegetables perfectly cooked and katsu perfectly crispy and seasoned. We got crab rangoons as an app which were the best I've had ANYWHERE. They were flavorful and it tasted like real crab. Just divine. I would 10000000% come back!!!

The menu seems a bit more fusion than traditional but a good balance of pushing boundaries without trying too hard. We made a reservation for lunch on a Sunday but were only one of three parties. The ambiance inside is cute and cozy and I'm sure the patio is nice during the cooler months. We ordered quite a bit but our favorites definitely were the pork belly appetizer, the hafu roll, and the neo-genesis roll. I'd love to come back and try their ramen.

My friend got the regular and I got the spicy version. The photo may not do it justice but it might be the best chicken sandwich I've eaten. Soft, buttery bun, mayo, tangy pickles, and perfectly-breaded-and-fried chicken that wasn't undercooked, dry, or soggy and it was surprisingly juicy for such a big piece of chicken. The spice was fairly tame, it adds a kick but doesn't overpower or leave your mouth on fire--which I'm okay with. The spice seemed more cayenne/paprika based though I couldn't pinpoint the seasonings. If you're a spice-head I'd suggest adding buffalo or honey sriracha sauce. The inside is very spacious, with lots of cutesy Asian decor and an 80s J-Pop soundtrack. Service was friendly and decently-timed as their food is (clearly) made-to-order. To pull a 1-2 punch in both ramen AND fried chicken is an impressive move. I can't recommend this place enough for your next ramen or chicken sandwich craving and I'll for sure be back to try the wings.

I always do the custom Ramen with fried chicken and it is very flavorful. The chicken is cooked all the way through, which is very very important to me one time I did go in here and they didn't have bok choy but not this experience. I will say that sometimes there are some flies which I do show away but overall I love this place. I love the decor on the inside with the anime. The music is always nice and the food always comes out fast fresh and hot.

Fuji Bowl with Tuna with half the serving of rice but my last time there I tried the black sesame ramen. It was really rich and flavorful. I want to say that it was just as good as Monta Ramen in Chinatown in Las Vegas. You walk up, you order then they text you when your order is ready. While you're waiting, you can grab a drink from the Westbound Bar (drink included with yoga) then find a spot then chill with your fellow yogis. After having had the ramen I would designate this place as the go to next time I feel like having it.

The whole area is really fun--made up of shipping container shops--and has such a cool, laid-back vibe. It already set the tone before we even got our food. Coming from California, I definitely have high expectations when it comes to sushi, and this place honestly delivered. The fish tasted fresh, the rice was flavorful and well-balanced, and everything just came together really nicely. We also tried some ramen, which was surprisingly solid too. We grabbed our food and sat near the bar, and it made for a great, casual dinner experience. Between the food and the atmosphere, it's a really nice spot to check out, especially if you're visiting Tucson and want a good sushi fix.

The menu is super customizable, which I love--especially if you're plant-based or just trying to keep things on the healthier side. Tons of veggie and vegan options, and nothing feels like an afterthought. I went with a tofu bowl and it was delish--fresh, flavorful, and filling without being heavy. Exactly what you want when it's blazing hot and you need something refreshing but still crave-worthy. Service was great--quick, friendly, and easy. The whole space has a cute, clean aesthetic too, making it a perfect low-key brunch or midday reset spot during those intense desert heat days. Light, refreshing, customizable, and reliable? Say less. I'd definitely go back.

Taichi Bubble Tea…read more This review is based on an Uber Eats order, and honestly... if the food tastes this good after delivery, I can only imagine how incredible it is in person. I didn't see the restaurant itself yet, but after this experience, visiting is officially on the to-do. We started with the takoyaki balls, which were an absolute standout. I'm not an expert on how they're made, but I did notice pieces of octopus inside, and wow so good. The sauce on top is an explosion of flavor: rich, savory, slightly sweet, and totally addictive. I could eat these every time and never get bored. Next, we built our own Tachi burrito bowl and this is where Taichi really shines. The customization options are next-level. You can choose white rice, brown rice, no rice, and even a greens base. Then you get three proteins yes, three. Options include tuna, spicy tuna, salmon, spicy salmon, shrimp, tofu, crab meat, and chicken. From there, it's toppings galore: avocado, cucumbers, red onions, cherry tomatoes, jalapeños, mango, masago, seaweed salad, and crunchy add-ons like fried garlic or fried onions. The variety alone deserves applause. And then... the sauces. This is where you can really get creative. Spicy mayo, poke sauce, chili hot sauce, eel sauce, mango sauce, ponzu, Thai sweet chili, Thousand Island, wasabi the list goes on. We went with spicy tuna, salmon, and spicy salmon, and let me tell you fresh, flavorful, perfectly balanced. Every bite worked. I don't claim to be a poke or Thai food expert, but whatever choices we made... we absolutely made the right ones. Bottom line: even through delivery, Taichi delivered. Fresh ingredients, bold flavors, and endless customization. Next time, in person, and probably ordering way too much.
