Great first impression as soon as I walked in! Nice place, nicer employees, great food, and good music! The BBQ Squid I got had perfect temperature and texture! Other places make squid too rubbery--not here! I got Katsu Curry for a home-cooked feel and I got exactly that. It was warm, delicious, creamy; perfect. My husband got the signature ramen. He said it was very good and traditional. Just like he likes it. He also got the Chicken Karage, which I stole a taste too and loved! Crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside. Oh and I had to add a seasoned egg; delish-ee-oh-so! Thanks for the great service, Max!

This reviews a little late ;) Let me just say, as my very in house first ramen place experience I would hands down give this place a 10/10 recommend :) The service was top notch! I came with a few of my family members and we sat at the front separated at first, once a table was unoccupied they let us switch over to that table so we could all be together. The servers were kind and would check up on us routinely to make sure we had refills on our drinks and enjoying our experience. The food was delicious! I began my meal with the Takoyaki, which was nothing short of extraordinary. These perfectly round octopus balls were crispy on the outside and delightfully soft on the inside. Each bite revealed a generous piece of tender octopus, perfectly complemented by the savory batter. The Takoyaki was drizzled with a delectable combination of tangy sauce and creamy mayonnaise, and topped with bonito flakes that added a delightful umami kick. It was the perfect start to my meal and left me eager to try more. Next I was torn between the Kiwami Aka, Miso Tonkotsu and the Spicy Curry Tonkotsu. Since I have a deep love for spicy food and Japanese Curry is always a craving. I went for the #6 the Spicy Curry Tonkotsu! The broth was rich and flavorful, simmered to perfection with a depth that spoke of hours of careful preparation. The noodles were perfectly cooked, with just the right amount of chewiness. Each component, from the tender slices of pork to the perfectly boiled egg with its slightly runny yolk, was meticulously prepared and added layers of texture and flavor to the dish. The addition of fresh green onions and bamboo shoots provided a refreshing contrast to the rich broth, making each spoonful a harmonious blend of flavors. For a second I forgot that I work a full time job, it was like time itself stopped. Finally let's talk about the ambiance, while I'm saddened to say that I wasn't able to get any pictures of the inside myself. I hope I can encourage others to go check it out for themselves. The restaurant is set up this way. When you enter you're greeted by the chefs and employees in a warm Japanese welcome. The area is clean and there is absolutely no clutter. Towards the back there is an open kitchen where you can see the chefs at their work, a small bar wall holds some ramen bowl decorations. To the right there is a small display of a wall full of lucky cats. And while I didn't use the restrooms myself, my cousins did and said it was 10/10 cleanest restroom they've seen at a restaurant. I know this review is a little long, but my experience was extraordinary. ありかとう Kiwami Ramen! For a lovely lunch experience :)

My Sister and I went to this place to see if the rating was legit and boy it was! The staff was friendly and the atmosphere was great. The appetizers were appetizing ,those takoyaki and gyosas, tasted fresh, rich and juicy. The main dishes were phenomenal, chicken curry was rich with a hint of spiciness, the ramen, the kiwami shiro ramen and chashu fried rice were the best dishes I’ve ever eaten, I’m not kidding ! I’d come again, super recommended

My first time here and im glad I stopped for an early dinner before getting back on the road. Had the pan-fried pork gyoza, just the right amount of crispness. Main course, Kiwami Kurt, great flavors. Bowl served steaming hot and still had steam coming off of it when I finished. The servers were very knowledgeable and professional. I’ll definitely stop by on my return to the area.

Beautifully designed space with good Japanese style food. I have tried chicken karage which came out straight from the fryer. Then I have tried chicken curry. It was OK. Kind of satisfied my need for Japanese curry but was not anything special. Feels like it was slapped out of S&B curry rue blocks. Comfortable chairs. Service was great. Clean bathroom. I guess I will need to try ramen next time around. Great place overall.
