The hot and spicy ramen was true to its name and definitely burned as it went down my throat, both temperature and spice. I also had the Shrimp killer roll, which was fine, not the star. I think the ramen was definitely the best, and the kani salad not too far under. My fiancé also got the boston roll, which he enjoyed but couldn't finish because the ramen was super filling. Our server was super great and very attentive. We would definitely come back!

Important to note that the kitchen closes 45 minutes before the closing time listed online…read more We came in a group of 5 and all of us found the food to be fine. I really enjoyed the half soft-boiled egg in the shio ramen as well as the enormous quantity of noodles, but there wasn't a ton of flavor in the dish. The chicken hibachi had great sauce and decent noodles, but the meat was dry and felt overcooked. The caterpillar roll surprised me since it was tuna-based, rather than the eel that is typical for that name. None of the dishes stood out as exceptional. The service was quite interesting. I did appreciate the water service - the server came around early on yo offer refills. Then about midway through the meal, she asked if we wanted leftovers boxed up. I wasn't too hungry so I was fine with take home the leftovers, although the timing felt a bit early to me. I couldn't tell if that was because it was just after 8 PM and they were trying to close up soon (advertised closing time of 8:30 PM), but there were still plenty of other tables with diners. The bill came with a mandatory 18% tip for our group of 5.

"Right before my very eyes Baby what a big surprise"…read more(Chicago) When was the last time, you were enjoying a gorgeous looking dish of Vegetable Tempura and realized OMG, I just chomped down on something crazy spicy? Well, that's what happens when you bite into an unadvertised half of a jalapeno pepper when the menu promises sweet potato, onion, and broccoli. Now look, as the late Sly Stone sang, "Different strokes for different folks", meaning that we all have different tolerances for spiciness. I was OK with that blazing piece of green, that for all purposes looked like a slice of Bell Pepper, but it set off fire alarms for my wife, who flat out couldn't eat it. Putting all that aside, we had a very enjoyable dinner. We got a lucky parking spot in a small lot right across the street and were seated without a reservation, which was also kind of lucky because Kisara doesn't have a lot of seating - I counted 8 tables (some for 4 and a few for 2) and nine seats at the bar. Our dinner ran a shade under $42 with tax for a 12-ounce bottle of Sapporo beer, the aforementioned Vegetable Tempura appetizer ($10), an Octopus Sushi appetizer (three pieces for $5.75, and two nice salads - an Avocado Salad ($7.25) and Teriyaki Chicken ($11.50). As you can see, Kisara's pricing is pretty good. The Tempura (save for the unexpected and unadvertised jalapeno halves) was very good - a generous serving of hot, crispy and oil free sweet potato planks, broccoli florets, and onion rings. My octopus sushi was pretty good. The pieces were large and presented beautifully. Maybe a minor quibble would be the chewiness factor of the octopus. The salads were very pretty - an attractive presentation of mixed greens, lettuce, cucumbers, shredded carrots, and a ginger dressing. My wife's salad had seven avocado slices and mine had ten chunks of teriyaki sauce glazed chicken chunks. Maybe another minor quibble would be the chewiness of the chicken, they were definitely overcooked. Positives Their menu is fantastic. Service was fine and included a few check-backs which are always appreciated Negatives There is no public WIFI - when I saw a Kisara network pop up, I asked for the password and was told "that's only for the manager". They don't really have a website, but you can somewhat see one via an ordering platform off their Facebook page. Conclusion For walking in off the street without a reservation, overall, we had a very nice dinner.

I got the Cannon ball roll which had shrimp tempura, a garlic aioli, and topped with a nice chunk of beautifully seared steak. I loved that roll - super delish! For $20 it was kinda steep so it definitely helps that the roll was tasty. I also got a salmon skin roll which had crushed up salmon skin in the roll... unique as I'm used to a rolled up fried salmon skin. My fiancé got the Mt Holyoke roll and enjoyed it as well. The specialty rolls were definitely massive. My only disappointment was the duck bao, which had shredded duck in five spice. I was hoping for the more traditional peking duck style bao. My bao also had some furry bits stuck to the end, not sure if it was lint from somewhere but it looked like dog hair. It was pretty baked into there. I didn't mind too much I just ripped that piece off. Too hungry to care, but that knocked a star off the review. Would potentially try the ramen if we come back.

The Jalapeño Poppers were a pleasant surprise; I expected an intense heat but was met instead with a refreshing, well-balanced flavor. My only regret was not ordering more. I genuinely love indulging in a great meal, especially during a long work session. I rounded out the evening with two orders of fried shumai, which I happily enjoyed as my dessert -- and they did not disappoint. I will absolutely be ordering from Sakura Ludlow again. Next time, I'd love to experience dining in at their location. If you're looking for a satisfying meal, give this place a try -- you won't be disappointed.

It made the experience much fancier. I would said the meat is not flavorful on its own but with the delicious spices they provide to dip it in, it made up for it.

It's a blessing and a curse that this restaurant is a whole four minutes from me…read more... While we've only been here twice, it's been absolutely delicious. The price for the all you can eat Japanese BBQ is certainly in my books worth it. Both times, we have left feeling so stuffed but so happy from the food. Within both times going, I think we've tried nearly everything on the menu. The yuzu pork belly, chicken fried rice, oyster mushrooms, and spicy miso chicken are some of our favorites. The only thing missing (I think) would be a nice cocktail to go with the food. Supposedly they are receiving their liquor license within the next few weeks so we will have to go back for that to try some drinks. The decor is pretty standard for a Japanese restaurant, though some of their neon signs are absolutely adorable. The food delivery is real cute, the food comes in this cool box delivered to your table.

We were passing through, looking for a place to eat dinner. I looked for a high rating on Yelp in…read morethe area and hit upon Kiao Wan. It is accessible from a large parking lot (and not visible from the main road). The restaurant only had a couple other customers, so tables were empty. There are tables or counter seating, and the restaurant would not be ideal for large groups. We ordered at the counter and picked a table to sit at, and then they brought out our dishes to us. My husband and I ordered red and green curries (dishes we'd usually order from Thai restaurants). I wanted the mango sticky rice, but they were out. The curries arrived quickly- probably around 10 minutes- with sides of rice. The curries were flavorful, and they used thai eggplants. Like other customers say, the portions were large, and we took leftovers with us (which tasted just as good the next day), but we needed to order more rice, and they charged $4 per extra rice- so it was $8 for us to have extra rice (which I understand is now the norm to charge for extra rice, but sigh). If we lived in the area, we would order takeout from here, rather than eat in. There are no bathrooms within the restaurant itself, but there's an exterior hallway with public restrooms.
