You can never go wrong with anything in their menu. Everything is so good! I recommend the cheese katsu! It has pork in it! The portions are huge. Don't underestimate it ! They have half price drinks as well in the after noon! read more

This place has awesome Ramen! This place is known for Spicy Ramen. I don't do spice but someone at our table did. I did noticed that the table next to us left all their broth. Figured out why later... We started off with the Croquettes and they were so good. Loved the little salad that came with it. I had their Tonkotsu Miso Ramen and it was great! Our table also had the Spicy Ramen. They like spice and one thought it was the right amount and one started to sweat. So I dunno?! Customer service was great and so was the price. Definitely will go back - curious about the cheese katsu and also the curry looked good too! read more

If you're looking for the best cheese katsu, look no further and stop by Kurobuta. Cheese pull approved! I remember when we first moved here Kurobuta was one of the first restaurants we went to and it's still just as delicious. Spicy seafood ramen is one of their popular dishes and we can see why. It's so huge that you can share this. Plenty of noodles, seafood, and delicious broth. For a sweeter broth, try the kalbi ramen! Kurobuta also has delicious appetizers! My favorite is the takoyaki which is a savory ball cake filled with octopus. -- Cheese Katsu: $13.95 Spicy Seafood Ramen: $13.00 Kalbi Ramen: $14.00 + Egg: $1.00 Takoyaki (6pcs): $5.50 Croquette (2pcs): $5.00 Gyoza (6pcs) $5.00 -- Follow my foodie IG: @imhungwey! read more

Eaten here at least 10 times. Always for lunch. Never disappointed and HIGHLY recommend the pork tenderloin Katsu with the udon noodles. Never fails, recommended to everyone I know. read more

Cheese katsu. Pork stuffed with melted cheese. It's a big-ass portion and you can easily share it. Go, and bring on the heart disease (I mean, the Texas State Fair isn't going to open this year, so what else are you going to do?) I got the cheese katsu combo, my friend got ramen, and we shared a bottle of Soju. It was only $35. They were out of a bunch of the Soju options and the poor waiter was the only one in the entire restaurant, but everything was delicious! read more

In a plaza with lots of parking. Not all of us came at the same time but the guy wanted our order even though we were all not there, im guessing because they will get busy soon, which it did. I only took the two picture because we got busy talking. The karaage was way too dry so i didnt finish it, they used chicken breast instead of dark meat, this was the first time a restaurant served karaage in chicken breast. Tasted the chicken curry and was good. read more

I had a craving for ramen today, and I was in the area running some errands and this was the closest ramen shop to me so I stopped in, and I'm so happy I did. The service was immaculate everyone who helped me today seemed like they actually enjoyed their job and was happy to be there. The ambiance was nice too. I ordered the miso ramen today and it was delicious! I ate as much of it as I could before feeling like my stomach was going to explode. The broth was excellent with it as well as the toppings. Great shop, give it a try if you're in the area. read more

Kurobuta - Tonkotsu Miso ramen - Ramen Near Me - Carrollton, Texas

My girlfriend and I always stop by here whenever we are craving katsu, and they never disappoint. Our order is always the same: Takoyaki to start, cheese katsu for me, fish katsu for her. The cheese katsu is a bit on the cheesy side (but who says no to more cheese), and the fish katsu is always nice is crispy. I used to always opt for the tonkatsu sauce with my cheese katsu, but since they made the curry available I've been getting that instead. read more

Date night tonight; perfect for sharing! Absolutely lovely waitress and service to pair. Asking if we need anything & being so accommodating by giving us recommendations & answering our questions. The food; guys just run to this place. The cheese pull is insane. It's cozy, it's tasty, and the price is perfect. read more

I came here for a friends birthday. Service was really quick. We started off with some appetizers. The takoyaki as an app was good. I've never had octopus and it was good. The pieces of octopus was small and not overwhelming with texture. The gyoza was okay but seems they fried it just a few mins extra as it was a little tough. The croquette was good. I didn't really know what to expect but it reminded me mashed potatoes fried. I did order the Chicken Kaarage curry. The chicken was lacking flavor. The curry was just okay. Kaarage with curry was a good combination but just wish the chicken had bit more flavor. I would definitely come back and try something else off the menu. read more

My friends and I came here while they were in town because they wanted to have some Curry. Overall the food was pretty good. The negative part is that it took a while to even get our order places. Afterwards they forgot to give us our curry so they had to bring it out on the side. Despite this I think I will still come back to give it another try. read more

Kurobuta - Pork Curry - Ramen Near Me - Carrollton, Texas

We just tried this restaurant over the weekend to celebrate our friend's birthday. We didn't know what to expect, and the 'yelp warning' did put us on a defensive edge. We started off by ordering some gyoza, croquettes and takoyaki. I ordered the katsu and udon combo, while others had the ramen, curry karaage or curry katsu. The gyoza was overly fried (not the typical pan-fried and steamed) and kind of one-note. The takoyaki was hot and soft, but should have had more octopus in it. The croquettes were the best option of the three appetizers, as the mashed potato inside was well done. Our main courses were pretty large, and none of us walked away hungry. I ordered the pork tenderloin (tonkatsu) combination, which was served with a small bowl of udon. The dashi broth in the udon was pleasantly salty, although the noodles themselves were a bit overcooked. The katsu was actually pretty tender and crispy, which was well paired with the tangy tamarind-like sauce (unlike other katsu sauces I've had), and accompanying pickles were delightful. Overall the meal was pretty good, although the appetizers could've been better. I'd say just skip those and go right to your main dish. read more

I was really excited to try out this place after finding it on Yelp. They seem to specialize in ramen and katsu but had many other options (curry rice, udon, rice bowls). I went with a group of 5 on Saturday night and we were seated promptly. Upon walking in, I was struck by the ambiance of this place -- could imagine myself in Japan. The dimmed lights make the place feel homely, and my group was seated in our own little corner. I ordered the Cheese Katsu. Definitely enjoyed trying it! Think of a mozzarella stick surrounded by meat instead of dough. It had the perfect crunch without being overly fried. AND it was filled with gooey, cheesy goodness. However, I was confused why my portion was smaller than my friend's Pork Loin Katsu especially when the Cheese one is the more expensive one. I was still full at the end of my meal though and would recommend the dish but personally wouldn't order it again. My biggest gripe is that our orders did not come out together and the appetizer (takoyaki) came out with our meals instead of beforehand. This created the awkwardness of some of us eating first versus letting our meals get cold as we waited for everyone's. The waiter also was not attentive in bringing us another water bottle -- we're pouring our own water so this little thing seemed big. It's hard when there are so many other restaurants to choose from in the area, but I feel like Kurobuta has different food options and is worth trying! Summary: food 4/5, ambiance 5/5, service 1.5/5. read more

Kurobuta - Cheese Katsu - Ramen Near Me - Carrollton, Texas

I ordered 3 dishes and ate them. The cheese of Cheese Tonkatsu was a bit hard without stretching. Curry was not a mix of sauce and rice, a type of eating it on top of rice, But it was a bit salty and not tasty in my mouth. Spicy ramen was made with meat broth and was delicious. read more

Love their ramen! We started with the Croquette which was a pretty unique tasting appetizer. For our main dishes, I got the Nagasaki Seafood ramen and my husband got the Kurobuta super spicy ramen. He said it was not spicy although he's pretty good with spice. Mine was great, but I wish it could have had a little more shrimp/oysters and less squid. This is our second time here and the service has been great both times! read more

Delicious ramen and cheese katsu! I had the super spicy seafood ramen and the spice level is just right (if you can handle spicy food). Not too oily and great amount of ramen and seafood (clams, squid, shrimp)! Cheese Katsu (not pictured) was perfectly crispy, great portion and delicious addition to the meal to share with a small group (3-4 people). The napkins and chopsticks are stored nicely in a drawer at the table, very convenient. 4 stars because of the wait/service, no refills, but overall experience was good. The waiter was very knowledgeable of the menu and made great suggestions. If you go between dinner hours (6-8pm) it is about 30-45 minute wait to be seated. Looking forward to trying other ramens, but definitely ordering the super spicy seafood ramen and cheese katsu again at some point. read more

Kurobuta - Super Spicy Seafood Ramen - Ramen Near Me - Carrollton, Texas

We ordered the chasu bowl and cheese katsu udon combo. I received the chasu bowl way before the katsu that I was almost done with my entree before the second entree was even served... not a great beginning. The chasu on the other hand had a burnt sear which presentation looked great but all I tasted was the burnt meat.. it was extremely overpowering that I wasn't able to taste any of the pork. By the way, Chasu in Japanese means BRAISED PORK BELLY so they need to do some revamping on this menu item. The waitress did apologize regarding the second meal coming in super late. She mentioned that the udon soup took a bit longer because they had to make it again? Anyhow, the katsu nor the udon made up for this. Udon's soup was too salty and katsu was just "okay." There was a lot more cheese than the pork meat which may be good for cheese lovers but for the price, I would have preferred a bit more meat. Overall, I was disappointed with my experience and would likely to skip this location for authentic Japanese meals. read more

Do you want diarrhea? My family and I came to visit this place for my daughter's birthday. We ordered chicken katsu, beef bowl, and 2 ramen bowl. Shortly after we all didn't feel too well. My daughter had a stomach ache to where she didn't know if she needed to throw up or use the bathroom. Shortly after I was constantly in the bathroom for the past 2 days and had to miss work. This place is pricy, the quality of food is not worth the price. Please go to another ramen place and get your moneys worth! read more

Needed something quick and I was craving ramen. A nice and quaint ramen/udon/don restaurant. Seated quickly at 5:40pm and the restaurant was fairly packed. The staff greeted us quickly and because the menu is small took our order as well. The food took a little longer than expected to arrive, especially the spicy tonkatsu ramen, but good things come to those who wait.... And it was worth the wait! The spicy broth was just perfect and the noodles were cooked perfectly. My kids enjoyed the galbi ramen and galbi don. Overall great experience! read more

Kurobuta - Chicken Katsu - Ramen Near Me - Carrollton, Texas

I ordered a chicken katsu plate and i was very happy with it. It came with a nice dipping sauce on the side. The gyoza and fried shrimp is good too. Udon soup is good as well. Everything is priced pretty good for this day and age. Just wish staff was more attentive. Also wish they would offer a small cheese katsu on the side. I was really hoping to try it. The reason they didn't get 5 stars is that the reusable glass water bottles they offer for the table are dirty. And the plastic cap had mold, and serratia marcescens under them; that's due to not being washed for a very long time. I've gone twice already and have noticed the water bottle situation. Someone can get really sick from not washing those glass bottles/caps. read more

Ordered the fried squid and octopus balls which were good. Probably my favorite dishes out of everything we got. I got the curry rice and pork loin. The curry was a bit tomato-y for me but nonetheless still good. Husband got the spicy ramen it fell short on flavor but the spice was nice. Son got the salmon don salmon was a little dry. The cheese katsu was okay the meat inside threw us off paired well with the sauce it came with. The service was great they were extremely nice read more

Like the other businesses in the area, this is Korean-owned. Although lacking the meticulous artistry of true Japanese cuisine, the kitchen offers meals that are still hearty and tasty. I went classic and tried the pork loin katsu. It was yum and crunchy and met expectations but wasn't too remarkable. There were plenty of sides, and I had leftovers for the next day's lunch, so that made it feel more worth it. Another local option for katsu, and I've yet to try the ramen. My vegetarian friend ordered the vegetable ramen and requested for it to be spicy. Turns out this isn't a menu option (because apparently vegetarians like bland food or something)... but the chef generously came up with a recipe to suit her tastes. Ultimately my friend said it still lacked spice (surprising for a Korean-owned restaurant) but their attentiveness and effort didn't go unnoticed. read more

For my first timer here? It was amazing! Tho I felt bad! I went around 8:50? When it was kinda close to closing and I felt bad but I was REAAAALLLY craving for food since after all that shopping from Hmart and didn't really want to drive to Hanami at all, but luckily my friend told me about this place and heard that he really likes their ramen! So I gave it a try and I don't regret! Food and service here is amazing and quite delicious! - Food: Tho I didn't get the ramen but I was craving for rice and curry and boy.. I wasn't disappointed at all! Their curry is rich and spicy to my liking and loooved their red pickled radish in the side. My fiancé got the super spice seafood ramen, like it was SUUUPER spicy to here I coughed so giving that a warning to non-spice eaters! *Overall: I would definitely come back here again! Really love the atmosphere and their service and their delicious curry!! read more

4 stars only because their Kalbi bowl isn't that great. i'm really into Kalbi and i've been trying to hit all the spots that have Kalbi and trying to decide which one is the best. This one isn't all that great though it's not just a Kalbi plate. it's a whole bowl. I think it's worth it. What i do recommended and i give a 14/10 is the CHEESE KATSU I cannot stress this enough but the cheese katsu is from another planet. It's perfect. and it comes with rice so don't order extra rice. i made that mistake but all in all, great place for cheese katsu. my girlfriend got the spicy pork ramen and it was also delicious. we went with a huge party and we also tried the chicken katsu and UNDEFEATED CHICKEN KATSU 14/10 the best i've tasted. their fries are also good. read more

I heard a lot of good things about this place, especially about its cheese donkatsu. So I finally made a visit with a friend for a weekday lunch. There was no wait. We were able to get seated right away. I love how our table had a side drawer with all the utensils. Way too expensive for a cheese donkatsu though - not gonna lie, it was delicious. But will I be paying $12-$13 for a cheese donkatsu in the future? Nah, I don't think so. Unless they lower the price, I don't think I will go about my way to come here again. read more

I've had tonkatsu at a couple of places before but this place is the best so far. The outer layer was so crunchy, there was a pleasant garlicky taste to the meat and the inside was tender and juicy!! I love the tonkatsu sauce that came with it. The dressing on the slaw was the bomb too!! My husband ordered the Super Spicy Ramen (I think that's what it was called). It came with veggies and pork. The broth wasn't spicy enough for my husband but it was the right spiciness for me. The broth was flavorful, wasn't super rich which I really likey :) I like the decor inside. The pig on the wall is super adorable. The owner or manager stopped by and checked on us so pretty good service! Overall, I recommend this place and will definitely come back! read more

Consistently delicious ramen bowls with perfectly chewy noodles and flavorful broth. Their pork chashu comes in thin slices with smoky/burned edges. Their chicken karaage and katsu's seem very popular with the regular diners - they make for the perfect sides to share if each person is already ordering ramen. I love their setup of drawers at each table with utensils and napkins - saves the staff time and makes for an extra homey experience. read more

I see Dallas Korean town keep improving, and the opening of this new Japanese style restaurant at Carrollton Korean town seems to be the proof of that. I have been tried several donkatsu and Japanese style ramen all around the places, and the Japanese ramen here matches the qualities of some of best ramen restaurants in Dallas downtown area. And the donkatsu is the best one I tried so far around Dallas area and even surpasses the ones I tried at Mitsuwa food court in Plano, Texas. Donkatu is very crispy outside and the soft meat inside, which is exactly what you need for good donkatsu. The ramen soup is delicious with enough ingredients to make your mouth eagering for more. I highly recommend to check this place out! read more

We came on a very cold day and they sat us near the door. Therefore whenever people comes in and out we were shaking, thankfully the food came out hot. In terms of presentation and service, everything was super nice! All my friends have been raging about their cheese katsu but in my opinion it was quite bland. My boyfriend really like the rice bowl because it came with chunky pieces of squid. The ramen tasted decent, wasn't bad but there was nothing good to say about it either. We also order the crab cream croquettes, I honestly liked it over the other dishes. It was filled with crab cream and the texture was soft and crunchy. My bf didn't like it though he thought it was expensive and because it didn't come with some crab chunks. The atmosphere of the place was very nice, a little cold and the lights were flickering every 10 mins or so. read more

I was walking around the strip mall and saw a new place opened up so I had to drop by. I got the Katsu and Spicy Seafood Ramen and it was really good. The pork katsu was nice and juicy and the outside had a great crunchy, light layer. It went great with beer. The Spicy Seafood Ramen was a bit different from the Jjampongtang you eat at in korean restaurants. This one had a heavier body yet the noodles were light but al dente. Really enjoyed my meal and definitely would come back to eat here when I visit Dallas once more. However, to every review, there should be a con...the servers are green but not bad that'll affect the stars...definitely a place i'll recommend to friends. By the way, place does fill up pretty quick during lunch and dinner time. read more

Aw man!! I was disappointed by my ramen this time (previously my favorite ramen I've ever ordered) I LOVE their super spicy ramen but it was incredibly oily this time around, which was not the case the previous times I've gotten it. The shrimp Katsu udon was taaaaaaaaasty, though. Really really recommend. The cheese katsu requires some air frying or oven-ing if you're ordering delivery, but it's absolutely delicious. I think they must have changed up their salad, because this time I really really liked it - previously I thought it was kind of nasty. Despite the oily ramen I'm def coming back. read more

I'd hate to give a low rating but people should know about the bad as well as good. Well, this THE worst restaurant I have ever been to. This includes any fast food. First time my girlfriend and I went here, it was around 8 pm on a Wednesday shortly after they opened. We walked in, customers were eating and an employee said they were closed. I pointed to the hours on the door and said it states 10 pm closure. The employee just reiterated they were closed. No reason was provide. Several months later, my girlfriend said she wanted to check it out, so we went. We were seated and ordered our food. It was busy. So busy that they didn't fully cook both of our chicken katsu! read more
