Love the butter corn chicken ramen ?They have more broth variations than typical ramen places, and a vegetarian option too. Prices are affordable, foods are flavorful, definitely worth to check it out if you are looking for a wholesome warm meal! Plenty of parking spots, strategic locations for a quick lunch break
the ramen was pretty good. i liked the spicy miso ramen.

The taste of their ramen is average and the ingredients are not fresh. I ate a piece of ramen today. The black fungus was bad and the taste was very bitter. The service attitude of the waiter in the store was not bad (I have kept the invoice and receipt)

The upside: the food is good and tasty.The downside: the service is as poor as it gets. One of the two main dishes was served with the appetizer. The other main dish got there about ten minutes after the first. That means that the first main dish is cold before you even get to it. And I think it’s not too much to ask to serve both main dishes at the same time.To cap it off, the second main dish sat ready on the counter for about five minutes because the only waiter was so busy just cashing off other people and seating more that she didn’t even seem to notice it.Another minor remark: you have really beautiful bowls but serve (at least) your lemonade in plastic cups… maybe something to think about.

Pro: fast and friendly service, great ramen. Grow: Christmas decor still up mid Jan. Hello yelpers, I was on vacation for a month in México and am finally back for my first review of 2024. After a month of yummy Mexican food I was in need of something different. Kai ramen was the perfect spot to hit up given LA has been a bit chilly. This is a solid ramen spot and all the food was yummy. I loved the boba and ramen combo. Food: starting with the apps, we ordered the spicy chicken and crispy tuna rice. Both were delicious but I loved the spicy chicken. It was topped with Serrano peppers and perfectly seasoned. The crispy tuna was fresh but I feel it didn't go well with the rest of the pork/chicken dishes. The black and white ramens taste very similar. I would opt for the white ramen as it was a bit cleaner. The egg was cooked perfectly and the portion was big. Overall, this is a solid ramen spot and I would visit again.

This place is nice for a quick bite to eat, but honestly the price didnt match the quality of Ramen I'd expect. Maybe it was just the spicy chicken ramen I got but it tasted very bland. Even a couple teaspoons of salt would have made it taste far better.

Just recently I visited this place and it was good! I tried dipping ramen for the first time here and it was really good! Will definitely be back! The staff was also very nice and helpful with everything!
Came in at 10 and was turned away because the kitchen was closed. Change your hours of operation then? Says you’re open till 10:30- waste of time driving here and the last time I got to-go the serving was so small. 1 ladle of broth, eh. Not worth the $18 they charge

When looking for a soup craving to satisfy, I looked no further than Kai Ramen to satiate that fully. Tucked in the corner of a restaurant plaza across from chef Tony, we were immediately greeted by the waitstaff who seated us right before the dinner rush came in, which was a testament to how popular the ramen must be.Based off of prior reviews, my friend and I both ordered the White Ramen which came highly recommended, the spicy tuna crispy rice and the takoyaki.The white ramen was extremely flavorful, full of garlic which I absolutely loved, and a good portion of chashu with thin al dente ramen noodles. The crispy rice sushi was nice and crunchy with a hint of sweetness from what I assume was unagi sauce and spicy mayo. The takoyaki also came out nice and hot!

Broth for the White ramen is really good and garlicky. Pork was tender and had just the perfect amount of fat. Fried rice was flavorful and had a lot of meat. Gyoza was freshly made and cooked perfectly. Classic Mazesoba Ramen (No Soup) was also very flavorful and meaty with noodles that were firm and tender at the same time.Service was fast and efficient, no waiting on a Tuesday early dinner night. Ample parking and the whole place was clean. Excited to go back and try the other food items!

Ordered the Kai White ramen, the broth was rich, flavorful and satisfying. It came with chashu, a soft boiled egg, wood ear mushrooms & green onions. There's a ramen combo w/ a pork chashu bowl, I also ordered some agedashi tofu. Excellent comfort food!
