kai ramen was amazing before but the service has gone downhill and the atmosphere is so uncomfortable and dull. They put their own gratitude tip and it is ridiculously OVERPRICED!!!! %20 gratitude when they took over 10 minutes to bring out one of my members plate out AFTER everyone else received their plate. After the %20 tip they still demanded MORE tip when the service they did didn’t even deserve tip.

Great food and service. My one and only complaint is that the light fixture above my table was covered in a thick layer of dust. I was actually afraid dust balls would fall into the food, luckily it didn't happy. Just dust your restaurant and it would have been a 5/5 experience!

Absolutely loved my experience at Kai Ramen Arcadia! The ramen was amazing—smooth and flavorful with tender pork belly and a perfectly cooked egg. The Chashu Bowl was also a highlight, super tasty and left me impressed! Service was friendly and attentive, making the meal even better. And the Naruto-themed decor was a fantastic touch for a big fan like me. Highly recommend for any ramen and anime lovers!

This ramen place is located in Arcadia, the plaza of JJ Bakery with plenty of parking spaces. Nice and clean dining area, we were greeted and quickly seated. You can scan the QR code for menu, very efficient.
Our waitress is very friendly and kind, patiently introduced the menu since this was our first visit. We ordered a Tonkatsu Classic Ramen, Kai White, appetizers with soft shell crab, fried spicy chicken and fried calamari and two iced lemon tea.
A good bowl of ramen is a bowl of flavorful broth, not too salty. The ramen noodle is cooked well with perfect texture, love the char on the pork belly, it adds on some smoky flavor to the bowl. The garlic butter in Kai White definitely creates the buttery texture to the soup base and it is no doubt the award-winning ramen.
Very impressed by their appetizers, fresh, delicious with generous portions. For sure the other highlight of the meal.

Kai ramen is nestled in a plaza with JJ bakery, phoenix boutique and other stores. The parking lot is shared with other business and can get busy during lunch hours. It is a small store with beautiful graphics on the walls. Although there was only one server, she was attentive and friendly. Scan a QR code for the menu and order with the server. Food came out quickly. We ordered the kai white ramen(which was labeled as award winning) and bomb ramen. The kai white ramen was flavorful and had a buttery-ish taste to the soup base. The noodles are thinner compared to the bomb ramen. The bomb ramen had thicker noodles and a lot of flavor from the minced pork. The oil and salt levels are adjustable. They have a variety of broth flavors to chose from including tonkatsu, chicken and shoyu. The spicy tuna crispy rice was interesting, and the rice was really crispy. The pork chashu buns had thin slices of chashu topped with lots of spring salad, which makes it easier to bite through. They also have a vegan soup option and rice bowls if youre not feeling ramen.

This place is decent. They have a hodgepodge of noodle dishes. The tsukemen is decent. They do everything here okay and that's it a knock. Staff friendly and accommodating. I've been here multiple times. If you have a noodle desire, this is a good place to go if you can't get to the place you'd rather go. I don't want to drive to Tsujita for tsukemen but I'll order it from Kai bc they're close and convenient. 6/10 would order again.

✨Anyone else slurp their noodles?✨ Our cravings for ramen certainly were satisfied at Kai Ramen, located in Arcadia, California and deep in the SGV. During the height of the pandemic, I found myself relying on @kairamenarcadia as my go-to for those delicious Japanese noodles in soup form. Then on my recent dine-in visit, I realized the quality and taste of the meals simply was the same??
I was finally able to try their Spicy Tuna Crispy Rice after all these years and it did not disappoint! More happiness was activated with each bite
We had: ?Spicy Tuna Crispy Rice, ?Chicken Cutlet Bun (chicken katsu in steamed bun mixed with cabbage, slices of cucumber, served with spicy mayo), ?Kai White Ramen (salt base, skinny noodles, garlic butter, pork belly, flavored egg, scallions, crispy onion, kikurage), ?Maesoba Ramen (thick noodle, house special ground pork, scallions, mild soy based smoke flavor, imami fish powder, garlic, seaweed), and Boba Ice Milk Tea

Just found this ramen restaurant in Arcadia, and it was such a great experience! The soup here is incredibly flavorful, the ramen perfectly chewy, and the appetizers are absolutely delicious. We ordered the Kai Red, Kai Yellow, Butter corn, and the Tsukemen dipping ramen. The ramen ranges from $15~$18 and I love that there were so many options to choose from! Service is great, and no long wait times for the food either! Lunch specials are Mon-Friday 12-5pm for even more deals!
