Izumi Ramen really did their thing…read more The broth was rich and flavorful, and the noodles were cooked perfectly -- not too soft, not too firm. Everything tasted super fresh, and the portion size was definitely worth it. You can tell they don't play about their ramen. The vibe inside was nice and cozy, and my food came out pretty quick. Customer service was friendly too, which always makes the experience better. If you're craving a good bowl of ramen, Izumi is definitely the move. I'll for sure be back

We love ramen, especially in chilly weather, and Izumi is our favorite in Lafayette. The broth is…read moresuper flavorful, the noodles are chewy, the chashu is tender and flavorful, and the eggs are perfectly soft boiled. My daughter says the fried rice is the best anywhere. The service is okay, not outstanding but not bad either. Takeout is also a great option here because they package the broth and noodles separately so the noodles don't get soggy.

Would you believe me if I told I never had Ramen before? Well believe it :)…read more This was the perfect introduction to it. Pictured is the rouge red ramen, Japanese curry bowl with crawfish, and Wong wings. That rouge red is so spicy and sooo good. They also have a claw machine side and Sweet Society for desert when you finish up your ramen

Wings were HOT (clearly just made), but a little bland for our taste (still good, and actually worked out well as my 3.5 year old ate them). The star of the dinner is definitely the ramen though, I had the spicy chicken and husband the pork & we both agreed they were delicious. Also we were able to stop by the arcade while waiting for our food which was a nice break. And got Sweet Society soft service after! Will definitely be back for ramen!

If you are looking for flavor bombs this is the place to eat. I order the black tonkotsu ramen. Holy moly. That's what I said after every single bite. The broth was so flavorful and delicious. I did get the combo with the gyoza and house salad. The gyoza is fried and delicious with a sauce that is packed with a punch. So yummy!! My husband ordered the karaage chicken ramen. I love that the chicken comes on the side. It crunched and cooked to perfection. Again the broth is so full of flavor. This place gets a 10/10 from me. If we are even in the area we are eating here again.

I may or may not really like the ramen at this place. With my recent love of ramen, I have been…read moretrying different places and this one is one I keep coming back to. I love the packaging and the portion size is great for the price. My only kicker is that I always ask for spicy chicken ramen and have to pay extra for it but it's not even close to spicy. The wings and the chicken stick appetizer is the perfect addition to the ramen.

We arrived 15 minutes before opening and were allowed to set in the waiting area until they were ready to seat us. Dayan our waitress was incredible, I think we should start recognizing this type of exemplary service. The appetizers was the calamari, and treasure island which was a delicious sushi appetizer. The calamari flavor was seasoned different but in a great way. It's like they have their own signature flavors. The Bento boxes were excellent value, and the 2 for 11 dollar sushi rolls were excellent with the added benefit good value. Do get the salmon, fried crispy, just a wonderful bite. Love the open and inviting ambiance. Beat we've had in a while, and the service is second to none. Oh don't forget they have a cotton candy machine, cool to watch.

On a rainy day, my son and I decided to kill some time and grab lunch at Koko Ramen…read more We walked into an empty restaurant that, while clean, definitely could use some updating. Most of the seats were torn, which was one of the first things we noticed. We grabbed our own menus and waited a few minutes for the waitress to come over. We both ordered waters, but my son's had floating green particles on top that looked like green onions. Instant turn off. I ordered a poke bowl and he ordered ramen. I do wish both dishes would've come out together. Once we started eating, I could tell pretty quickly my poke bowl was anything but fresh. The cucumbers tasted sour, the edamame was mushy, and the amount and quality of the fish was disappointing for the price. My son had a similar experience with his ramen. He said the wontons tasted like nothing, although the broth and noodles themselves weren't bad. This little restaurant honestly has so much potential, which is why I hate leaving a negative review for a mom-and-pop place. But for the prices being charged, the ingredients really need to be fresher. Unfortunately, we would not return

Enjoyed my visit here for happy hour. We ordered the Rib Stack, Hot Honey Wings, Veggie Fried Rice,…read moreHot Honey Chicken Bao Bun, and Crispy Fish Bao Bun. Overall, everything was good. The standout for me was the veggie fried rice. It had great flavor, and I'd honestly come back for that alone. The Snake Wrangler drink was also a favorite. The only downside was the hot honey. It was very light on both the wings and the bao bun, so the flavor didn't come through as much as expected. Service was efficient and attentive. It's a nice, quaint spot with a cozy patio and indoor seating. Still a solid happy hour option, and I'd definitely return.

Try one and they are stone cold but good flavor. I asked Courtney the server if they were meant to be served room temperature (first time having so wasn't Sure). She takes the whole bowl. A nice little bit later my bowl is returned just as my tikka masala queso Is arriving. From the looks of my bowl and the broth it was nuked. Heated in the microwave which was annoying bc I wanted to try these fresh for the first time and also more importantly I ordered them with intentions of eating 2 now and taking the other 3 to go so I could enjoy my queso there. Dumplings can't and shouldn't reheated multiple times over and especially not even once at the restaurant that's serving them. I was honestly just hoping they would have dropped a fresh hot spoon or two of the broth : sauce they were in. Very upsetting for the evening because I was excited to try something new
