I was greeted and there was not a wait, so I looked at the menu and everything looked amazing. I tried the plum sake and it was really good. The waiter suggested Japanese Crispy Chicken, which was amazing. For the entree, I order the Katsu Curry Ramen. It was amazing!! Not spicy, but so full of flavor. Everything was filling, that I had to take it home for later! I can say that this restaurant is definitely a 10/10!!!

Im dog/house sitting in the area and was craving sushi, but didnt wanna drive to Sushi Hana or Whitakers, so figured Id try a new spot! My total before tip was $30 and some change which I felt was a bit steep for two rolls, one of them a little more on the basic side. The Sakura roll is spicy as hell and think the lobster salad (inside) is whats adding to the spice, in addition to the spicy mayo (what I can normally handle). The Annie Roll is a simple salmon lemon roll, with red tobiko on top. I called my order in and by the time I got to the restaurant (about 10min) my order was ready! So I will say their prep is quick. Inside appears to have ample seating, with low lighting for a more intimate setting. It was really busy when I arrived (like 7:30ish) and seems a lot of locals like this place! Idk if Ill be going out of my way to come back here, or of Im in the area again. Staff was nice and welcoming which is always a plus! But I feel this id a bit more costly than what I feel the quality translates to.

Let me start with the positives. I liked the spacious layout, and the cool artwork. There were…read moreplenty of seatings too. I also liked how loud the overhead music was...but sadly, it was elevator music. Very dated. If it was something a bit more contemporary (metro lounge?), it would have been way nicer. Now, the food! I ordered their Doza Ramen, which looked spicy from the pictures...but I ended up with a very mild broth, with hardly any red chile sauce or spice to it at all. I even asked if they can add more chili and/or spice to it, and the waitress basically said that's not possible (What?!? Of course you can!!). Anyway, she said I can add Siracha sauce. (???) Guess she assumed this was the first time I had ramen lol?!? The Pork Chashu was nice and tender, but very small portion...and a tiny portion of ground pork (of beef?) and mushroom as well. Just skimpy toppings all around...yet this bowl was priced 18 bucks. I also hated how they didn't even bother to split open the egg. Also, I wasn't a fan of their super-thin noodles either. Just look at how unappetizing this bowl looked! So basically, this ramen struck out on several accounts. Possibly the weakest ramen I've had in a restaurant in years?? I managed to down at least one third of it though. Then this Sampler Tempura. While the portion of plentiful, I thought the batter was weak...and well, some of the veggie tempura just tasted BAD. Especially the Brussel Sprouts (which I normally love) had this sour taste to it? I was also disappointed that they didn't include Broccoli in the mix. I was only able to eat half of this. Just not that good. I just can't sugarcoat it. I was not into their ramen or this sampler tempura. Both too mild...very bland. Also...they charge you an additional dollar if you use credit card. Something I don't recall seeing on the menu. Given such high ratings from Yelp, I had high hopes for this place...but I left scratching my head. I doubt I'll be returning anytime soon.

The staff and the vibe in the restaurant are both so chill and welcoming. I love how the servers have all been so knowledgeable of the menu; different types of broth, flavors, and how to recommend what to order!!

And of course, the ramen is so amazing!! If you love ramen and gyoza and a great time, try Kazoku out!!

Actually the entire staff really took care of us and you can tell in the food as well. A lot of love, passion, and great ingredients go into all their entire menu. Location wise, this place is definitely a "sleeper" place just because it's tucked back in Stonecrest across from the movie theater. The dining room is cozy but there are booths and tables.... Small outdoor dining area with a handful of tables too. Overall a great place to get great ramen! Just wished it was closer but again, I would be here daily getting ramen.

This is, without exaggeration, the best ramen I've ever had -- the kind you dream about afterward, and then feel genuinely heartbroken over because it's five hours away from home.

We visited Menya late one Saturday afternoon in May for an early dinner…read more You order (and pay) via a QR code using the Toast app, so ordering is very simple. We started with the pork gyoza, which were delivered quickly and were delicious. For our entrees, I had the Tonkotsu Black with added braised tofu, and my husband had the Spicy Tantan. I don't usually like eggs in my ramen (because they are never cooked enough), but Menya cooked theirs perfectly soft boiled, and I loved the flavor the egg added to the soup. Both soups had complex flavors, and we loved them. The tofu was great--thinly sliced and flavorful, if a bit salty--but I am not sure I'd need it again. My husband thought his soup was perfectly spicy. A note about parking - if you can park in the lot in front of the building, you scan a QR code, and open a parking time block. (I believe Menya paid for a 2-hour block.) You then enter the information on an iPad at the back of the restaurant to validate your parking and start the clock. It was easier than I expected, and I'd definitely use this parking service again. And if you can't get a spot in the lot in front of the building, you can park on the neighborhood streets just one or two blocks away. All told, it was a great meal for a reasonable cost. We'll definitely return!
