    PLEASE READ TILL THE END. This rating is based solely on my dish: Beef Yakiniku Curry Rice. The portion had a good amount of beef and was very flavorful. The beef was thinly sliced, not greasy, and paired well with the curry. It also came with pickled radish on the side, which helped cleanse the palate. Nothing too crazy, but definitely fun to eat. The server was friendly and very mindful of allergies. I loved that the utensils are kept in a small drawer by the table, clean and doesn't take up space. HOWEVER... let me spill the tea. The rest of my party (3 other people) absolutely HATED their dishes. I have an egg allergy, so I couldn't try their katsu or ramen, which I found a bit surprising, since most ramen places I've been to don't use eggs in the noodles themselves. I was torn because I genuinely enjoyed my dish, but considering this is primarily a ramen shop, I feel obligated to share their experience. The ramen broth was very bland almost milky, and the meat was chewy and disappointing. I hope it was only an off day for them since there are so many great reviews which prompted us to go in the first place

    We purchased food to go here and what a good choice we made in visiting this outstanding restaurant among hundreds of Asian restaurant choices in Carrollton! The service is top notch, warm and friendly! In fact, our waitress, skipped the tipping part of the transaction since our order was to go. I tipped anyway! We ordered the vegetable ramen and the beef yakiniku ramen and made them combination orders for a small amount more with added cheese katsu and chicken katsu with the most delicious sauces. Both ramens were outstanding and just what we needed in cold weather. The broth is really flavorful as well. This was my first try at cheese katsu and now I am definitely a fan! Absolutely remarkable food. The decor is cute and the atmosphere is very nice. I would definitely go back here for more of the delicious ramen and katsu and maybe try some other items! I highly recommend!

    I love it here!! The pork tonkotsu is SO yummy, i think about it pretty regularly. The ramen is also very tasty, but i really come for the tonkotsu. The service is great for such an intimate space. Servers are friendly and quick with taking orders and if you need to go boxes.

    Kurobuta is my goto place for Pork Loin Katsu. One, because it taste good. Two, because they package it nicely when you get it for takeout The salad might have too much mayo on it though... but I still ate it Everything just goes nicely together: the tonkatsu, the kimchi/pickled radish, the salad, and of course the rice. Their takoyaki is pretty good too.

    This place is known for ramen and katsu but both are NOT good at all! We ordered the classic tonkotsu ramen and it was tasteless. So many things that are wrong about this ramen. The noodles are not the traditional wheat ramen noodles, they're egg noodles like Chinese noodles. Chasu pork is very chewy. The egg is ajitama, not marinated egg but just a plain boiled egg. The broth is oddly white, super bland, and tastes like hot milk. Pork tender loin katsu is supposed to be juicy and crispy. It has the crispiness from the batter but the meat is very bland. The gravy has an odd flavor profile - the tartness and sweetness going two separate ways. Dressing on cabbage salad that comes with the katsu is tasteless thick liquid. The only good thing about this place is our friendly server.

    Met up with a coworker for dinner--great ramen and great service. we also split a bottle of soju and had a great time.

    As someone who's lived in Japan for 2.5 years, I always try to find spots to compare or to scratch that itch and fail miserably. I found this place a 2weeks ago and I've already been back twice. The curry here is amazing. They do it w ramen and rice. As someone who's had both, they're both delicious. I will be returning especially as it gets rainy and colder out!! The service is fast and attentive. The ambiance also gives that hole in the wall Japan vibe.

    Great service and a pretty dang good ramen. I've had some incredible like 5-star almost ramen and this is my favorite in for a pinch on in this part of Dallas. Good broth and noodles and piping hot (been to a couple here and it came out lukewarm). Definitely stop by! - Only improvements would be cleaning the bathroom and a spot where it was quieter if you didn't want the more communal bar atmosphere.

    I really enjoyed the hip hip Asian fives at this restaurant. The ramen was really good and flavorful. The staff is great and the overall dining experience was good. For genuine Japanese ramen I give this a thumbs up.

    It was a good experience. I went here years ago when it first opened but was underwhelmed. They've made lots of changes since then and am glad I tried it tonight. Cheese katsu- portions were huge and I was really stuffed. The cheese was so gooey and tasty! Chicken katsu was nice and crispy. I got a side of curry and I'm glad I did as I don't like their sweet sauce that came with it. The curry sauce is a bit sweet and mild. If possible, I would prefer if they could omit the sugar as I really don't like sweet. Spicy tonkotsu ramen- super tasty! I think I like this slightly better than the cheese katsu but it was salty. Still, I enjoyed the bowl I actually rate this place 3.5/5. What I hope to see them improve on is cleanliness as I see lots of crumbs when I sat at my seat. But other than that, great place to eat, good portion sizes and decent price. Will be back.

    I came on a Saturday for lunch with friends, and to start off the flavors of the dishes are definitely there. I got the curry rice with chicken katsu and it was delicious! My friends got ramen and they also had no complaints. My reason for it not being a 5 star is due to the insanely slow service, which is at no fault of the server as he was doing his best apparently taking care of most if not all the tables. My friend had asked for sriracha and she never got it. We ran out of water but no one came to check up on us to even let us ask for more. I had to flag down someone for us to pay. Overall the food is good, however I think they could improve on their staffing in front of house. I did notice we were not at all the only ones waiting a long time for ordering food and getting any service.

    I came here for lunch because I was in the area. Kurobuta has been on my list for some time now. I understand why this place has received so many positive reviews, but I was not impressed with it. I ordered the chicken katsu. It took roughly 15 minutes for the food to come out, which wasn't too long of a wait. It came with a white dipping sauce, a cabbage salad with a mayo-based dressing, and a small bowl of rice. Chicken katsu is made of white meat. Despite being fried, the inside was still moist and juicy. The lack of seasoning and the unsatisfactory dipping sauce made it unpalatable. I prefer the traditional katsu sauce. The salad's dressing was also excessively sweet. The rice was cooked perfectly. The restaurant is small and intimate. I love how they have all the utensils and napkins in the drawers at the table, super convenient. Service was great. The server explained everything thoroughly. Overall verdict: it was a decent meal, but I probably won't be coming back. Good: 3/5 Service: 4/5 Ambiance: 4/5

All of the items that we had are in the photos, but the creative presentation is what stood out most! Cute bao buns, chicken served with ramen to allow the customer to enjoy it as they would like, and good sized portions. My only ask would be for more broth with the ramen dishes. The noodle to broth ratio was just slightly off. 9/10 would recommend.

    Kisses xoxoxoxo I love this place. My boyfriend said I was over exaggerating about this place but…read moreprofusely apologized after the first bite. I went the day before Thanksgiving and the japanese chef was a one man show. He was the only one running the establishment because everyone else had left to go to Japan for the holiday. He is so so so so nice. I don't go back to restaurants very often but this place has my heart. This time I got the spicy pork ramen (17), spicy garlic chicken ramen (18), and then got the spicy garlic pork ramen (19) togo. I will say it is a little bit salty, with the garlic ones being more salty than the non garlic ones. However the garlic ones do have more flavor. There's not that much meat/protein either just one piece of meat and an egg. The could be slightly better but it's still good. It also just has bamboo shoots but nothing else. A very simple bowl. Ambiance is nice, it feels upscale but also homey at the same time. They have an open kitchen concept which I like.

    I got Spicy garlic pork ramen. I liked the broth. It was tasty and not too heavy. The pork was…read moredelicious, but it was buried at the bottom of the bowl and had broken into smaller pieces. I had to dig for it. I know they probably put the meat at the bottom so it'll warm up with the broth, but I prefer it at the top. The egg was whole and cooked so it was a little runny inside, which I liked. I also liked the noodles. Unrelated to the food, I sat on the bench and there was a customer sitting on the bench beside me. She kept shifting around and causing the entire bench to move, which I didn't like.
