Ordered Jiro Style Ramen for pickup and it was DELICIOUS! My girlfriend and I, who regularly pick up Kitakata Ramen, wish they would add it to the regular menu. We LOVED the vegetables - cabbage and bean sprouts - and the crispy garlic topping.

Wow, their new Jiro-style ramen is absolutely outstanding! I’ve always loved the massive, garlicky bowls at Tsujita in Sawtelle, but Kitakata brings a distinct flavor that really highlights its meat-lover identity—haha.
I’ve seen some reviews mention that the service could be more friendly, but honestly, ramen isn’t meant to be a formal experience. It’s simple, comforting, and all about satisfying a craving in a relaxed way.

I ordered to go only a snack, goyza. Much smaller than the photo on menu, but ok, I would recommend trying a regular dish instead. They were pretty busy so it's a popular place.
Person at the front was very friendly and helpful so that's a plus.

It was great until something happened 2-3 years ago. Noodle is sagy- saw they washing noodles in cold water to separate noodles that was stick together. N broth was salty n no flavor. What is going on? I'm sure anybody making foods in there, they never had Japanese Ramen before or zero experience. Shame shame shame.

Ordered take out for a family of 4. The food was packaged well for travel. We had gyoza, fried chicken and Chashu ramen with seasoned eggs. Everything was quite delicious.
