Fantastic ramen place, it's an easy 5 stars! The food is delicious and the portion sizes are pretty big. The service is amazing, the lady serving us was very friendly, it was great talking to her. Well worth the price (which isn't anything ridiculously high), would definitely come back again!

Tonkotsu Black was very good. Service was fast. I would go back. Inside the restaurant looks better than the outside.

Fun little place for some family ramen.

Very disappointed regarding to high expectation from review in google and too higher price than expected. The worst ramen I have tried in Edmonton : I am a big fan did try a lot of places around the city. Bland pork ( I order pork shoulder which I read review as someone suggest to order over pork belly ) and boil egg ( not enough marinated or none) , not tasty and flavorful broth, a lot of MSG . cheap noodle, pricey and not authentic ( I guess business run by Chinese or Vietnamese not Japanese ) I tried other place that cheaper but way better than this restaurant. Or other that same or higher price but flawless experience. I can taste and feel a lot of MSG here. I tried black garlic ramen which people in review recommend but it is nothing good as I said “ not enough seasoning, marinated or flavour”
Takoyaki is the one made me wanna come here which also disappointed ( saw it’s got some good review. Small balls , outside less to not crispy and have no seaweed on top. Price that show in picture or online review is not real. It shown $8 for takoyaki but actually 13.50 for 8 balls and 19.50$ for ramen which only shown 15.95$ online. I don’t know why don’t they correct this or leave it to misunderstand or trap customers with cheaper price. Menu in restaurant all hasn’t shown price , you need to scan QR code to see the menu with price. Also be aware as they only accept debit card or cash ! which is ridiculous ! With the price and these bad experience … first, last and one only . Only 2 things I like are they quite comfortable &spacious restaurant unlike some ramen place that is very small and they have sesame served for you to mash before put in your ramen but I didn’t taste and smell sesame after put in ramen because the oil or msg in broth is over power the sesame taste.

Super yummy ramen! The only reason I pulled a star is the checkout process is a bit confusing since they don’t allow credit cards. Debit or cash only. The service was pretty good! Very kind lady

Dishes span in the 15-18 dollar range, portions are average for what you would put on a dinner plate. Actually plays Japanese artists instead of hip hop or whatever trash modern music we have now a days. The food was very tasty and i personally recommend their curry dishes.

Really good. Best Takoyaki I've had outside of Japan!
Edit 7 years later(2* removed): The ramen scene in Edmonton has changed drastically in the past decade. Kazoku has not kept up with the change in overall quality that the city has as of now.
Overall: Top value for decent ramen for price.
The Good: Value is prime here. Portions are large and broth is flavourful. While price takes a back seat.
The Bad: Quality has not kept up with the change in landscape. Toppings while they are generous are about average in quality.
Verdict: While the quality of service and atmosphere of the restaurant have not changed and are still top notch. The weight of what is now about average for food drops the review to 3/5

My family of seven, including two toddlers, came here for lunch on a Sunday, a little after lunchtime. We had read good reviews and were excited to try the food, but sadly, our experience was not good.
We were seated in a corner near the washroom. When we nicely asked to move a little farther away, the server responded to us in a very rude way. We were hoping for better service, as we were really looking forward to the food.
