We spent a week in Key West and tried many restaurants, and this was one of my favorites. It's located just off Duval Street and could easily be overlooked. Food: There were six of us, and we ordered a mix of different items. Everything was very good, super fresh, and each dish looked like it was prepared with care. Of everything we tried, the Pork Belly and Grouper Cheeks buns were outstanding. Each featured slightly different pickled vegetables and sauces, which made them especially memorable. The Tempura Shrimp was delicate, with just the right amount of light, crisp coating. The accompanying squid salad was crunchy and fresh. The three ramen dishes were good overall, although one person felt the broth wasn't as rich or complex as expected. Service: When we arrived, we weren't entirely sure about the process. The lone server, who I believe was also the owner, explained that we could take the large table and then brought menus and water. He had a serious, efficient demeanor and stayed focused on his work, with minimal small talk. As the restaurant filled up, it was impressive to watch him manage all the tables on his own. Most of the cooking took place in the back kitchen, but some finishing touches were done behind the counter, adding to the experience. Atmosphere: The space is small and well organized, with front windows that bring in plenty of natural light. It has a unique character without feeling overdesigned, creating a relaxed and comfortable environment. There are tables for groups of various sizes, as well as counter seating for individuals. Definitely a place we would return to and recommend to friends.

Curried lamb. Lamb is in there. Deliciously spicy.

We ordered the pho, the lamb curry, asian salad and the grouper cheeks all super delicious. This is a small business trying to keep prices reasonable. The person serving appeared to be owner or manager and he was working the tables and helping in the kitchen. You can order the curry with ramen or rice noodles. The lamb curry was spicy but just the right amount of spice. I will definitely be back.

We ordered lunch for takeout on a Thursday afternoon. The food was done right on time! We ordered steamed dumplings and the red curry shrimp and both were great. I will definitely be back again!

This place was so good, we came back 2 nights later for dinner. It hit the spot again. My dining partner got the same thing, Duck Ramen, and this time I tried the Soft Shell Crab Bowl with ramen instead of Udon noodles. It was also delicious, plus very filling with 2 full crabs. The tempura batter was light and the crabs very crispy. The aioli sauce was very tasty. The broth was a very different broth from the Duck Ramen, almost o touch of sweetness, and was packed with delicious roasted shiitake mushrooms. We got some of the chicken dumplings to start, and they were also wonderful. The sauce it comes with tasted like a barbecue sauce.

Janelle O.

Definitely 5 stars because everything we ate was absolutely delicious! We started with the special appetizer that day which was scallop bao buns. The scallops (and onions that came with them) were cooked and seasoned to perfection. We also had the saigon salad with chicken. It was full of fresh veggies and the dressing was to die for, with just the right amount of tanginess. Finally, we got the red curry coconut shrimp noodle bowl. The broth was somehow both rich and light. Service was friendly and efficient. This place is only a couple of blocks from Mallory Square, so check it out when you are in the area!

Love this place! Quick service and food is fresh and hot!!!!! So many vegetarian options!

Red curry coconut shrimp bowl with soft egg added

Fantastic little spot for an amazing Asian infused noodle meal! I would have posted better pics and more of them but we dove right into our dinner and enjoyed every bite! My husband and I stopped in and were immediately seated for dinner. We ordered the pork belly buns, dragon bowl (spicy) and red curry coconut shrimp bowl with a soft egg. EVERYTHING WAS DELICIOUS!! The service was excellent with the staff checking our every need and making suggestions on what to order based on our likes and dislikes. There are several tables and bar seating available but it is a small space so go early. It filled to capacity shortly after we arrived on a weeknight. But even if you must wait, it's well worth it!

Once upon a time I used to really enjoy this place when they used to be located on Southard Street; then they closed and I was disappointed (even though I do like the place that opened in the old location). Then recently my husband and I learned that Kojin was back and was located right by the Tropic Cinema on Eaton Street. Of course we made sure to check the new location out. The place is really nice looking and much more light than the old location. The bar counter is really nice and the painted murals are amazing looking but they are also the reason I probably won't be back. A incident occurred and you can read about it where my hubby Glenn G wrote a review but regardless of what occurred the owner was acting cold to us and we were not enjoying ourselves, which is a shame since the food is good. Wish you luck Kojin but it'll be without my support unfortunately

House ramen was amazing!! I would get it again. The service was fast as well. We were a walk in and got sat immediately. I love the artwork on the walls. Very detailed and it was fun looking at it while waiting for food. Come here if you are in Key west!

Christa K.

Such a great place! My fiancé and I stopped in a few weeks ago looking for a cozy bowl of ramen on an unusually chilly Key West evening. We walked in and immediately loved the vibe. It was cozy, quiet, and dimly lit. We were greeted and told to sit wherever we would like. We chose to sit at the bar and ordered drinks. Our server- I think the owner- was amazing! Super friendly and helpful with recommendations. We ended up ordering the bao buns, dragon bowl, and chicken ramen. Everything was fresh, pretty, and super tasty. The bao buns....still thinking about how delicious they were! We knew we hit the right spot as regulars were stopping in to pick up to go orders. The staff were friendly with everyone and made everyone who walked in the door feel welcome. We have been coming to Key West for years and are so happy to have found this spot.

TAKING MY TIME MACHINE BACK TO 2013... After finishing off another round of drinks, we wonder over to Eaton Street to Mr. Z's for a late night meal in order to avoid doing the Duval Krawl; and across the street we discovered Kojin. They were closed at this hour but it intrigued us to return the very next dat. I'd be lying to say we didn't love the Pho and Ramen. It was then that we began to visit somewhat regularly. Eventually, we left the keys and we learned that Kojin closed its doors... RETURNING TO 2024... I was eating dinner at MISO HAPPY SUSHI and I made a comment that I remember when this was the location of Kojin and the waiter told us that Kojin has reopened. Coincidently the next morning I was picking up donuts at GLAZED and who happens to be next door... the "new" Kojin. Wife and I were excited so we came in for lunch that day.... The original location was a bit tight but this place has space (not huge but open enough that tables aren't on top of each other). The walls were colorful with lovely art (assumed to be a gorgeous wallpaper) and the counter bar was welcoming and nice to see the overhead menu. TAKE A SEAT... We stepped over to a high-top table by a wall; the table was very wobbly, so I moved the table about 3 inches to stable it against the wall. Oops ! The owner came over and sternly said the table can't touch the wall due to the painted mural... I understand and I apologized... we moved to the bar counter since the table still wobbled and the owner didn't offer any remedy (just reprimanded me and that's that). Now we're at the bar and he's dry with us... not sure if he's upset about the interaction or if this is just how he is. Moving forward we ordered a share dish and he took our order (somewhat coldly). FOOD... We shared a STEAMED TOFU BUN... it had pickled cucumbers and hoisin sauce. Tofu is not my thing but it was good and, more importantly, my wife really enjoyed it. When we ordered our main dishes, I took the time to apologize again. He said it was fine (but not sure if really okay or not; hard to read this guy since he has a great poker face). I like that at the bar you can see the staff make many of the dishes; I ended up having their DUCK RAMEN; the duck was delicious and the broth was excellent... BUT.... I tried my wife's dish and I loved it even more. She had their SOFT SHELL CRAB TEMPURA and the Udon Noodles and broth were amazing (so was the soft shell crab). FINAL THOUGHTS... While eating, other guests had come and go and we noticed they received a better attitude and he even managed to smile at them. I get it, he invested in these murals and cares about protecting them... I'd do the same but why not put a low top table by it (then it wouldn't be about to bump or touch the mural). And I apologized (more than once) but he remained cold to us... even when trying to break the ice, and told him how good the food was, didn't seem like he wanted to be bothered by us... LOVE THE FOOD ---- BUT ---- FELT UNWELCOME

My family and I really enjoyed this place. We tried a few different things and really enjoyed it all, the house ramen, duck ramen and the dragon bowl were all fantastic. The fried rice is very good but definitely not what you're expecting, a lot of ingredients and it might not be for everyone. Service was okay and the price is high but worth it.

Amazing. Everything we tried was delicious. I ordered the Red Curry Shrimp, best I ever had. The number 8 was absolutely delicious. The flavor had a good balance. Every bite was fulfilling. The pork was a little dry but did not take away from the experience. Each appetizer, the pork dumplings and kemchi dumplings, was made with perfection. The server was AMAZING. She was truly a professional. She was amazingly attentive which was surprising given the number of people she had to service. Make sure you tip your server accordingly. read more

I would say 3.5 stars for this ramen bar. If you're truly a ramen lover (and also Asian like me) then you'll understand where I am coming from. We came across this cutesy restaurant based on the amazing reviews on Yelp. I am truly confused. We ordered the duck ramen and the pineapple mango salad. I was incredibly disappointed with my salad. It was mostly fillers than actual mango or pineapple. Flavor was alright. We were notified that the duck ramen was not an option after we ordered and sat down already. We then ordered the lamb ramen instead. The noodles were good and a very generous portion. The broth and lamb were flavorful. The flavor was alright. I wish we ordered the red curry shrimp and baos instead. Not terrible place. Friendly staff. Clean and cozy shop. I was so looking forward to the salad and ramen. It just didn't quite hit like I thought it would. Perhaps today is just an off day. read more

This place is a hidden gem. So many Key West restaurants are overpriced with the same menus, it's great to have this option. Delicious noodle bowls in a wonderful broth. My favorites are the shrimp red curry bowl, loaded with shrimp with a deep semi spicy flavor, or the Dragon Bowl which has chicken thighs, chilis, ginger, cabbage and rice noodles. The bowls are huge. Definitely enough to share. They also offer 1/2 size bowls which are more than enough for one person. The small dragon bowl is $12, a great bargain for Key West. They also have delicious bao buns and dumplings. I highly recommend this restaurant. read more

We chose to dine at Atlas Izakaya because it has very high Yelp reviews, but we left disappointed. The food was just okay and for such high prices I don't think any of it was worth it. We started with the kimchi (not pictured) for $7. We enjoyed it, but I would suggest to anyone with multiple people in their party to order more than one considering the size. Next was the crispy tuna rice, not much to say about this one. It was decent, not the best I've ever had but not the worst. The pork dumplings with crispy chili oil were lacking. Save the money and skip this dish. The maitake mushroom was one of the better dishes, I believe they are in a miso cream sauce which was really really good. This was one thing that was standout and the reason I wouldn't rate it any lower. We had the beef skewers for $27 for TWO skewers of meat. They were pretty good but considering the size and the price, I would not order it again. $27 in most other restaurants would get you a little more bang for your buck. Finally, we got one piece of the bluefin tuna otoro nigiri and a krab avocado hand roll. I did not find the bluefin to be good at all, I regret ordering it entirely. The other person in my party enjoyed their hand roll. We also ordered two of the sake cocktails, they were okay. Bear in mind if you're going with non-drinkers or children that they do not serve any soda products here, only sake or water. The restaurant is pretty on the inside, but you can dress casual as it is not super fancy. The prices are too high for the food to be lacking. One or two standout dishes are not enough to make it worth it for me to come back. I don't typically leave negative reviews but based on the 4.5 star rating that led me here I felt I should chime in.

The charming co-owner actually ended up being our guide for the evening, teaching us about sake and suggesting food orders. Our favorite food was not the most popular, I suspect: bok choi with chili sauce. It was perfectly prepared. We also enjoyed the small fried chicken buns. Really pleasant place for dinner in key West.

We've been here once before and not really sure why my review was not done. The yellow Sapporo branded motorcycle under the sushi bar was the centerpiece of the eatery and a cool addition - maybe it belongs to the owner. Sapporo is a light crisp 5% abv lager and the oldest beer brand in Japan. The ultra colorful wall mural brought some Japanese cartoony anime into the main dining room next to our table. Slightly pricey but the sushi was super fresh with big portions. The waiter was attentive and quick to take our order with apps and drinks out fast but we were a big party so it took a bit to bring the main dishes but everything was "made to order". If you're searching for good sushi that does not cause stomach cramps later, then try this place.

The area was louder than I expected, but it also seemed very popular with both tourists and locals alike. The restaurant offers both indoor and outdoor seating, along with a huge full bar. From what I saw on other people's tables, the portion sizes were very generous, making it feel like a good value for the money. Overall, I'd recommend this place, especially if it's included as part of a local food tour.

Having done business and living in Asia various times for 22 years, am always looking for something authentic. I suppose when you have several noodle soup offerings from various regions, you'll never be good at one. I confirmed it on 2 different visits here and icing on the cake, I write to you on my third bathroom visit of the night. Am cramping quite bad in addition to the loose excrement passing my bowels. Hoping not something worse. Had the beef Pho, which barely represents what it should be. Served Luke warm with thick cut squares of low quality beef, unlike the thinly shaven rare beef you get in a proper bowl of Pho, which should float on a steaming clear beef broth. This was borderline cold with what seemed to be soy added to it, with no offering of oyster sauce to add to taste, but if offered, it would of been a further conflicting mess. They had some of the traditional garnish to add, but missing some, along with Thai sweet chili sauce, which was completely odd for a bowl of Pho. As a local, hate to leave such a poor review, especially after having a decent mid afternoon experience the first time with a decent (but far from authentic) Ramen bowl. My partner seemed to like the experience both times, hence why not one star. Nevertheless, am bummed out and shall never return or recommend. Wish them luck as the second owners of the same business name. read more

The service was prompt and good overall however the food was lacking. I ordered the Oxtail Pho…read morewhich was a big disappointment. Pros: Oxtail segments were cooked properly and were fall off the bone tender. Cons: The key to any good bowl of pho is the broth. The broth at Dragon and Rooster is outright awful. It was lacking in all areas you could possibly grade it on. The broth lacked salt and was too dark for a good pho broth. It was like drinking brown tinted hot water. The broth lacked the salty, savory, umami flavor you expect from a good Vietnamese pho. I suspect they do not add fish sauce to the broth which is a critical component of any good pho. The restaurant also doesn't use traditional pho noodles, they use a larger noodle similar to a fettuccine. This wouldn't be a problem but it's a very small portion. They do serve it in a large bowl but for $29 you would expect it to be loaded. They do not serve the pho with any sort of accompaniments (bean sprouts, jalapeños, etc). Overall, the pho tasted bland and was not worth one penny of the steep $29 price tag. Basically a bowl of unseasoned hot water with basil leaves in it.

Located near Publix on the waterside (not to be confused with the Fleming Street location), it's easily the best Chinese restaurant I've experienced. Who knew Key West had such a hidden gem? From the moment you walk in, the fresh, inviting aroma sets the tone, paired with a spotless, welcoming dining area. The service is top notch, provided by professional, knowledgeable staff, and the whiteboard in the dining room features daily specials. The "Happy Family" was outstanding, expertly prepared, full of flavor, and made with incredibly fresh ingredients. You can tell they use high-quality oil, and the generous portions and consistent quality impressed me throughout. We sampled a variety of appetizers, all delicious. The homemade wontons were a standout both fried and steamed were great, though the steamed were my favorite. The beverage selection is excellent. With its immaculate setting, fresh ingredients, attentive service, and consistent excellence, this place blends comfort and sophistication beautifully. Capping it off, a leisurely stroll to the nearby shops and grocery store next door made for a perfect ending.
