Large portions and good flavor. Note, standard disclaimer for Japanese restaurants: I got the Kio Special Ramen ?️?️, order it extra spicy and it was medium at best. Definitely still enjoyable to eat though. Unusual for me, but the egg was actually really good, like the best egg I've ever had.

I come here often for the Ramen. And often bring my vegetarian friends and family who really enjoy the vegan broth. Very nice servers and service. Great neighborhood restaurant!
This was the best ramen I've ever had. The ratio of all ingredients was perfect, and the lobster was decadent!

We got the oxtail ramen, it was delicious! The wait for the food was a bit long, but totally worth it.

I was looking for dip ramen and I saw it on online until I realized it was an old menu. It is a quiet little shop in the neighborhood. I ended up getting black garlic ramen with pork. The overall flavor was pretty good and the service was fast. I am users to handmade day ramen so I was a little disappointed with the premade noodles. The pork is also not fatty enough for me but it is a personal preference. The server didn't say much but he was definitely on the look out with what is going on.

The only downside was, it took a while to get the food, but it was soooo worth it. One of the best beef curry ramens I've had so far, the beef was so tender and the curry taste was just perfect.Definitely coming back.

This review is mostly for their TAKOYAKI $10 for 5 pieces.TAKOYAKI: Crispy outer shell, melt in your mouth filling- bursting with flavor and lowkey sweet taste of a piece of octopus. Idk how they make the OUTER SHELL CRISPY like that but it's bomb!!! Tbh, the first time I tried takoyaki, I never liked it cause I thought gosh! So much mushy, batter and chewy octopus. How is this worth it?! Until.. I tried Kio Ramen's Takoyaki!!! Must try =)For Ramen, I suggest their simple House Ramen will do. Be careful tho cause there are days where their ingredients are not fresh. It gave my tummy a couple swirls to the bathroom lol. Nonetheless, the guy who works as a waiter there is very kind and friendly. We definetly appreciate him and his attentiveness. Ambiance of the place is a hole in the wall with Japanese artistic values. It's pretty cool!:) eats ya'll!

Sushi rice is not vinegar rice, overcooked fried chicken, funky taste broth, overcooked pork. And this is 100% NOT Japanese cuisine if that’s what you’re after.
My 4th time at this restaurant. I've tried a different ramen bowl each time. All have been delicious.

The oxtail ramen was so incredibly good! The oxtail meat was tender but very flavorful! The noodles had a familiar instant ramen-like shape, but had great texture. The broth had good flavor as well and the egg was cooked just right. I've had ramen with a better tasting egg and slightly more flavorful broth, but this was still really good.I can't wait to come back and get the oxtail ramen again. The softshell crab sandwich was quite flavorful and had a light texture in the crust without feeling greasy. The atmosphere was somewhat simple, but cozy.

I've traveled around the country, east to west coast, and let me be the first to say this is the best ramen I've ever had. I had the house ramen with miso and my husband got the soft shell crab sandwich and it was the best. Absolutely love this place and I'll be coming back next time I'm on San Fran ❤️

Came here with a large group, which they kindly accommodated. Service was good, the food underwhelming.
