I also got the Jiro-style ramen, and the broth was delicious with so much flavor. The pork was soft and tender, and the noodles were great too. I liked that they put the sides in a separate container so you can put everything together yourself. I also tried the small aburi bowl, which was delicious and had such good flavors, especially with the pork. The chashu bun was just as good! No complaints at all. Everything was flavorful and delicious, and I definitely have to come back and dine in next time!

The standout for me was their Jiro-style ramen. It was every bit as good as some of the bowls I've had in Osaka--rich, satisfying, and packed with flavor. As someone who has spent plenty of time eating ramen in Japan, that's not praise I hand out lightly. What impressed me most was the consistency. Every dish I tried was on point, and every visit left me looking forward to the next one. Whether you're a ramen enthusiast or just looking for a great meal, Kitakata delivers. I'd go back in a heartbeat.

Will have to do it next time for sure! I also got the potstickers. Not bad, but it was slightly overcooked. A couple were kinda burnt so it was super crispy. Till next time!

I've gotta say, after visiting over 25 new pizzerias within a year, it zoomed right to the top of the list, rivaling the previous #1 as my new favorite. Mangia!

Just turn your ordering off. My waffle fries were burnt so bad there wasn't even potato in them but cold somehow, the chopped salad was 90% lettuce, and the soup was barely room temperature.

Sorry it was later but more people than just you guys work late. Thus me getting in my order by the time I got home too.

A group of family and friends visited Pappadeaux (with an advance reservation) this past Saturday,…read moreSeptember 5, my mother's 93rd Birthday. With disappointment, I write a review that is for the first time less than stellar. Our family and friends have been guests of Pappadeaux for many years. And for the past several years, it has become her restaurant of choice to celebrate her birthday each year. She loves Pappadeaux. It is only because of her love for Pappadeaux that we continue to arrange dinner for our group that averages between 20-25, simply because Pappadeaux is not group friendly; does not extend itself to make efforts to accommodate. Let me qualify the review by saying I am very aware of Pappadeaux's policy to reserve space for a maximum of 10 in one party, though they do accept reservations for more without guaranteeing the private dining room but would endeavor to accommodate. What we are told each year and clearly understand is the use of the private room requires its own staff and logistical advance planning, which is why I make the reservation well in advance. Though they can't guarantee the room, they make a note of our request and advise us to check with the manager on duty, who would make the decision. On September 5th, we were told by the manager (Julio) that the private room was not available because they didn't have any staff that could cover that area. He said he would have to pull staff from other areas to accommodate us. And in order to assure us a good dining experience, he would seat us together with the public to guarantee us a better dining experience. Being a business owner, I clearly understood and graciously accepted the area he suggested which indeed could accommodate us all. UNTIL, I walked by the private dining room by coincidence soon thereafter and noticed a group of 10 that was not only seated in the private room but was being SERVED by a SERVER, who Julio (the manager on duty) told me minutes before was not available. On my way walking by the room sometime later (it was nearby), I noticed a different group of 10 was seated and being served in the private room that was not available to us. I do realize our group was larger (21) but however they assigned to serve the two groups of 10 (total 20) could have accommodated us. We waited hours for food anyway. Thus, my complaint is not that the room was not available; it appears that we were lied to, as the room in fact was available and STAFFED. Julio's reasoning for accommodating us in the public dining area was to ensure we'd have a wonderful dining experience. Well, that didn't work out so well either. We received less than quality service. The food was exceptional as always. We were assigned four tables and three servers. Patrick and Chey were phenomenal servers. However, 3 guests at the table to whom the third server was assigned, had not received their meal after two hours, while others at their table had eaten. I know the timing because I know what time we were seated and looked at my watch after noticing the guests still without food at 6:08pm. When I asked one of the guests what they ordered, it was simply gumbo and a salad. No one was preparing their food; there was little to prepare! They were forgotten! I asked another server for assistance, who went to the kitchen, got approval to serve us and immediately assisted until the entire group was finally served. But they unfortunately opted to take their food home by that time. The assigned server did not return until near check time. I could have lived with all of it, except BEING LIED TO. The private room was always available, was STAFFable and STAFFED. Whoever the space was given to came in after us. Though my mother loves Pappadeaux, coupled with the fact that we spent nearly $2k Saturday and each year before at this event, not including what we spend in visits during the year, we would need to be TREATED AS WELL AS THE OTHER GUESTS to return. We must not be made to feel UNWELCOME, UNDERAPPRECIATED and UNDERVALUED at any time. Otherwise, it would become necessary for us to explore other restaurant options that are more customer friendly to groups and would appreciate our business. Again, I don't mind the policy, but why not staff the room in advance when a reservation is made 1-2 weeks in advance, rather than having to check and see who is available or willing to stay in the moment, especially when you know we are coming! I believe that is a policy that needs to be revisited. I would hope that Pappadeaux's values our business enough to respond and contact us. Looking forward to hearing from you. Pastor Olivia Johnson
