Nice and quiet place for $10 Ramen. I chose Tonkatsu and the pork flavor was good. I like the ratio of all they put into the Ramen. Garlic is free and adds great flavor. The host was also the server and service flowed well and he was attentive and asked many times if we needed anything. I'll be returning. read more

Went on a weekend. To my surprise we were the only customer. The place looked so sad and lonely. I should have known it was under new management and new menu. Despite the obvious inauthenticity, it did not taste like a Japanese ramen shop either. Looked like packet noodles in disguise. Price was pretty cheap and affordable. Basic ramen starts at $10, for 2 pieces of chashu pork, bamboo, bean sprouts, and green onions. For additional fee, you can add on more toppings. For $2 extra, I added on the boiled egg. It did not come soft boiled like most ramen shop. It was a firm yolk, hard-boiled egg. Their chicken katsu appetizer had no dipping sauce on the side either. Asked for chili oil, they only had Siracha hot sauce or dried chili crisp, with barely any oil. I ordered miso broth ramen. But the ramen came out looking more dark and tasted like soy sauce. The broth was so bland that I could not finish my bowl. Service was okay. But this is the worst tasting ramen ever. No, I do not recommend this place. read more

Kamisama Ramen - Miso ramen with 1 boiled egg. - Japanese Near Me - Bakersfield, California

This place has become the sentimental favorite for me and my boys over the years. I dropped by today because of a meeting in the neighborhood, they have remodeled, very nice. The bright anime art and neon signs really brings the place up to the current trend. I was glad to see the same sweet, kind waitress working here. This is definitely a ma and pa shop, one waitress, one chef. I had the tempura shrimp recommended by the waitress, nice and crunchy. I had the tonkotsu ramen as usual. It is as good as I remembered. Please give this place a try, and thank me later. read more

Kamisama Ramen - Tried this place for the first time yesterday, & it was sooooo yummy!! Definitely will be going back! - Japanese Near Me - Bakersfield, California

Ordered 4 rice bowls of chicken teriyaki and in each one box order only had a few chicken(2-3 pieces ) with more veggies (carrots and cabbage) in it , veggies didn't taste fresh . Containers inside were black stain around the rim, cabbage tasted rotten and I love cabbage cuz I boil mine but has a fresh flavor . I'm not satisfied with their food here and will never eat here. I'm a unsatisfied customer and disappointed. read more

Ramen and Rice bowls are to die for. I love this location because of the Japanese ramen shop vibe it gives.

Everytime, me and my husband come in here we are the only ones here. We love it here so much. We enjoy the pricing we enjoy the front gal worker. She is the sweetest! Tasty food every single time. We usually seat ourselves. We love it here truly read more

my boyfriend and i went to this lovely ramen place as part of our 6th month anniversary!!! we ordered the chicken gyoza and we agreed it was splendid, perfectly cooked, very well-seasoned, and not too salty :). I ordered the shoyu (soy sauce) ramen . the broth was incredibly flavorful and their noodles are so good and filling. my boyfriend ordered the tonkatsu (pork) ramen. he said the meat was very tender and it was savory. we both 1000% recommend this place for some yummy ramen and gyozas. the ambiance is calm and the restaurant has a cute Japanese decor and a chalk drawing of One Piece!!! (and a lot other anime characters :D). love it here. read more

I have been craving ramen, so I decided to finally try this restaurant. I wasn't disappointed. From someone who loves ramen, even when it's hot outside.. I really enjoyed this place. I was skeptical because of the most recent review (14 days prior) to this one about the food being salty... but I still decided to try it out and I'm glad I did. The place deserves some attention from more people because it's definitely worth visiting. I'd post a photo of my food but, I devoured it before it crossed my mind. I'll definitely be back! Oh, and the waitress was really friendly/helpful. I also forgot to mention, based off past reviews people complained it was too quiet in there, without music. There was music playing while I ate, so they definitely listened to reviewers :) read more

Nothing special. The soup was good but the noodles i wasnt a fan of. Price was fair.

I enjoy ramen thoroughly, this food is ass don't waste your money buy Shin noodles instead.

When I walked into the place, it was completely empty, which I thought was weird but I decided to give it a try. Unfortunately the chicken Katsu was really dry and the noodles looked like they were top ramen. The broth was decent but overall I wouldn't recommend eating here our server, though was extremely nice. read more

Very good The server was great, the food was awesome, and it really hit the spot on a cold day at the end of the weekend. Music playlist was really nice as-well. Overall a great place to come if you aren't looking to spend a fortune on yummy ramen :) read more

Worst service I've ever got, started since I was arrived. I got there at 7:05pm they close at 8:00pm host said to go right, I was wanting to eat inside and told her I was going to dine in immediately she gave me the worst bitch face I was like wow okay as I'm sitting down she threw the menus on the table and said do you know what you want already. I got my food and drinks and never seen the waitress I needed a refill and she was never to been seen until she brought my tab and stayed there till I gave my credit card to her. As soon as she gave me my card back she started to turn off all the light the time was 7:45pm. That host has to be fired you have to treat your costumers with respect that what pays your bills and puts food on your table never ever coming coming here again and don't recommend anyone going to eat there read more

Kamisama Ramen - Japanese Near Me - Bakersfield, California

This was the first time going to a Ramen house. My boyfriend has been on a Ramen kick for sometime and I was just ignoring it. I thought Ramen was just those crunchy unhealthy packets from the store. I saw Ramen houses in Japan when I was there but I was scared. I assumed everything was made with meat. I'm vegetarian so they had Ramen for me. I have to say it was enough to feed about three people. Everything was fresh and I will definitely have it again... winter food!!! There is a small parking lot. The business was clean and the staff was friendly. read more

It's empty for a reason. The sushi is mainly rice, doesn't hold together and they do not plate with ginger or soy sauce. The chicken on the chicken katsu was dry. And there are bugs. The good thing is they let us put tables together. Overall the condition of the place is unsatisfactory. Do not recommend. read more

It's ok. Server/ host could have been a bit more attentive. But overall food was ok. There's definitely needs some kind of music or something in there.. it's super quiet lol. read more

Walking in and seeing absolutely no one should've been my sign to walk out. I got chicken gyoza and it wasn't even cooked. The dough was completely raw and chewy & the inside had no flavor. I ordered kontatsu ramen with shrimp tempura and an egg. The egg was hard boiled which is gross I was told "we don't do soft boiled" like what?? The broth I received was NOT kontatsu broth it was more than likely shoyu which is soy sauce based and not what I ordered. I eat ramen multiple times a month and I have NEVER not finished my bowl. I walked out of kamisama after eating one gyoza and 5 bites of the ramen. I'll never waste my money here again. Also the server was rude so honestly I get why no one was in there. Even after posting this review and then seeing it they still did not offer to fix the issue!! read more

Really enjoyed the food and hospitality. First authentic ramen and loved it. The noodles digested well, unlike the 5-for-a-$1 packs at groceries where you're bloated for 6 hours. Lol! I chose Shoyu, despite not being a big fan of soy sauce. Broth was great. Though does get salty with about a quarter of broth left. Put egg, steamed chicken and braised pork (a must) in my combo, which already comes with 2 pieces of pork. The noodles were amazing. But not as amazing as their Udon, surprisingly. I had a few bites of it and, while I loved the ramen, almost regretted not doing spicy Udon. Not their specialty, but better than their ramen. Which is saying something. The rating for this place should be easily at least 4 stars. It's a really good choice to eat at. And it's helpings are heavy. We had to box and bag. So come hungry. read more

I've eaten here many times in the past, but my experience the other day left me unimpressed and unwilling to return. When we sat at our table, it was very sticky and seemed like it was unclean. In addition to this, they only had 4 drink options and the diet soda was completely flat. When my friend asked for a refill the waitress told him that was the last of it. The restaurant was extremely hot, to the point where i actually almost passed out and the waitress brought me a wet washcloth. The food we ordered took about 45 mins to come out and the restaurant was not busy at all. This is extremely unfortunate and I do not believe we will be returning. The waitress was snippy and the food was less than stellar. The gyoza were microwaved and the shrimp were decent. read more

My son and I love this place! We enjoy the many different options to personalize our ramen, plus the garlic fried rice is amazing! The last time we went they were only open for take out because of the Covid regulations, however we were very impressed with how they packaged the broth separately allowing the noodles to not overcook while driving home. Even though there are several other ramen places near us, we choose to drive across town for Kamisama! read more

Kamisama Ramen - Take out tonkotsu ramen - Japanese Near Me - Bakersfield, California

The Ramen is good when you are wanting to take care of a craving. I have been here a few times and it is a decent spot to eat. I like the ability to customize your ramen to your liking. The latest visit made me not want to ever return. My wife and I were in the area and wanted a quick dinner so decided to stop in. The hostess/waitress sat us down at a table, then after getting are drinks she asked if we were ready to order, after informing her that we would need some more time to proceeded to roll her eyes and walk away. Once we were ready to order, she still waited several minutes before coming by to help. There were only 2 other tables with guest in the restaurant, so I did not expect it to take this long. After she took our order and submitted our food, I seen that our food waited at the counter for 10 minutes before she picked up the plates to walk it over to us. The waitress also failed to provide a silverware, chopsticks, or napkins for use to eat.i gave her about 2-3 minutes to see if she would remember, but she didn't. I had to go up to the front counter where she was sitting watching videos on her phone and request all the basic utensils needed to eat. I also had to do the same when we ran out of drinks and needed refills, but she never came around are table again. My wife and I finished the meal and got out of there ASAP, vowing to one another that we would not be returning to this establishment. read more

Brought my boys here since they love noodles. I had the Sabori yaki udon with tofu. It was delicious and very flavorful. The tofu had such great flavor, by far the best I have ever tasted. Including their pork ramen noodles, great pork broth flavor. Place is clean, staff is great and attentive. I definitely recommend this place. read more

We have been here quite a few times and love the garlic fried rice. The last two visits have done us in. It seems as if quality has slowly started to go downhill. Our last order we picked up, 50% was so bad we tossed it. Such a shame since it was a go to place for us, and staff is always so pleasant. read more

Super unhappy with this place service was awful they didn't have pink lemonade written on the menu no ice cream no kids menu The noodles were chewy felt like I was chewing on gum the chicken was over cooked Absolutely not happy with anything at the table We said none of it was good and we're not gonna pay for food not being touched and the server said "next time it doesn't roll that way" absolutely not we'll never be there I don't recommend to nobody if I can give this restaurant no stars I would !!!!!!! read more

Big NOPE!!!! The ramen is ok. Asked for no bean sprouts and guess what, THERE WAS BEAN SPROUTS! The chicken katsu is what I was coming for. And well, I found an egg shell, a big one...in my katsu. NO KATSU sauce, the "chef" said there was already katsu sauce but nope. Luckily the server was nice enough to grab some for me. Although the katsu sauce was watery. Now I understand why this place was rated so low. Food isn't great and the "chefs" add things that shouldn't be part of the dish and "chefs" don't add what should be part of the dish. Also VERY EXPENSIVE. Never coming here again. read more

I finally got to check out and see what the noodle hype was all about and I'm officially under that noodle trance... So my husband and I got a soup to share and a plate of yakisoba to share and I loved them both!!! When we come back I will probably have to try something else as the menu wasn't too overwhelming w tons of items. I wanted to wait and give the business time to gather their staffing together since I did read some reviews that weren't so great and coming in yesterday during dinner their were quite a bit of empty tables and as we sat and got our food the tables filled quickly. There were only 2 young guys taking orders and waiting on the tables and although they weren't on it w the quickness we had a pretty good experience. The first guy who took our order was not too friendly and didn't attempt to smile, but he was helpful and filled our glasses when we needed it. I'm definitely a rice and noodle person (hence my nationality haha) and the food was delicious! I will be back to see if I will still be under this noodle trance haha. My overall experience was excellent!!! read more

I love the food and staff, the ambiance is also great if you enjoy Japanese pop culture like manga and anime. Always try to come as often as I can. Best ramen in town! read more

This was our 3rd visit to this restaurant, and it revealed inconsistencies in the Tonkatsu Ramen. The noodles were overcooked and it tasted like "soggy top ramen". They also cook the egg differently now. They only offer boiled egg instead of marinated egg. I also ordered the chicken katsu rice bowl, and there was not enough sauce. You have to request additional sauce. (This review written by my husband) read more

Kamisama Ramen - Chicken Katsudon - Japanese Near Me - Bakersfield, California

I took my son for lunch and we really enjoyed it. There are no booths in the place, so that was a drawback for me. The menu is smaller than I expected, but had some great items. They don't have vegetable tempura which is one of our faves, but that's ok. I got an avocado and cucumber roll. It was all right. We both got the Tonkotsu Ramen (Ramen in pork broth). It was really good! I added garlic and chicken to mine. So yummy and fun to eat! The prices weren't too bad either. read more

The best ramen I've ever had was in Los Angeles at Ebae's near USC. In Bakersfield, I have been looking for the best ramen and as far as flavor and authenticity goes, Kamisama is the closest I've found. While the restaurant isn't as nice as many of the other places in town, the service is great and the taste is fantastic. read more

Having traveled to Orange County I've tasted real from scratch Ramen. Both broth and noodles. There are a few Alternatives in Bakersfield that at least make their own broth The server didn't know where or how their product is made just said it was brought in. Turned out it's boxed broth and had kind of a funk to it, bad aftertaste. Too salty I would not come again read more

Came in for a nice little Sunday lunch. A little celebration my wife finishing her final class and me completing my Masters thesis. We have been here before, and when we walked in this time, we were greeted by a very friendly server who sat us down at a table then immediately asked what we wanted to drink. I like that he didn't mention the words soda or lemonade because we typically drink water at a restaurant, and treat our kids to a soft drink if we felt they've earned It. We ordered a ramen and rice to split among my wife, two kids and I. It was plenty enough, and very tasty. The only knock on the place was the wait time for the food. Approximately 25 min. Otherwise we had a good experience. read more

This exciting adventure was a let down from the start. You're going to want to buckle up and hunker down because this roller coaster of emotions will take you on a journey no one wants but everyone experiences at some point in their life. "Eff this bland place." Good Pork Broth Ramen, but that's about it. :/ poor service as well read more

The food here is good the service not so much. I always come and get the same thing because they never fail to satisfy. Love being able to put whatever I want in my ramen as well as my noodles. I put fried tofu in everything! The veggie eggs rolls are a must they are always deep fried to golden perfection! Got the veggie sushi rolls and they had a mayo like sauce inside. Make sure to read the menu just Incase you may not like a sauce or veggie that comes in a roll. read more
