Permanently changed to Tsujita Noodle, no longer Killer Noodles! Owned by the same company but a totally different menu.
Im into this place. I always order Tokyo Style NO SOUP Spice 3 / numbness 2. I keep it kinda mild but I’ve tried and witnessed higher attempts at spice and it’s Melt your face off killer! Fried Chicken Karaage is pretty on point too. Yum Yum
The spice and numbness levels are always fun to play with here. But besides that the noodles are very good by themselves. Rich broth and great overall taste. Definitely a good go to spot
Went here for dinner with my boyfriend, I got the downtown without soup lvl 1 spice and he got the original without soup lvl 3 (standard spice). I have a pretty low spice tolerance (i usually order mild at most places) and the lvl 1 was a perfect amount of spicy for flavor without making my tongue so numb i couldn't enjoy what i was eating, but i may try lvl 2 next time for a good kick. My boyfriend really enjoyed the standard lvl 3 but needed to buy an extra drink (we tried the jasmine tea with foam) about halfway through his meal. In his exact words "Its soooo good but my mouth is totally numb" The waitress recommended the "without soup" to really get the flavors of the dish and I'm appreciative of that recommendation cuz it was delicious!
Order up front, pay first, eat later.
Parking: Basement parking, take lift up to street level. Easy!
I come here maybe once a month. The food is really good. I can usually get sat pretty quickly. The food gets to you a little slow sometimes so just be mindful of that.
I am by no means a ramen connoisseur. Had the Downtown. Spicy level 1 numbness Leven 1. Taste was good. Presentation nice. And like the other reviews here, I'm not entirely sure the noodle was a ramen. Whatever the noodle was, it was too hard (undercooked) for my liking. Husband had the Downtown and the noodle used there was definitely ramen. Great, fast service! Unfortunately, they had run out of a lot of important items the night we visited; no teas and no chicken.
You can order and pay at the front station. Then you can take a number to a table. When it is busy, they can seat you at a table and take your order (they did this for us, but everyone else ordered at the station). We ordered downtown with soup, downtown without soup, and Tokyo without soup. Only those without soup can order a side of free rice to mix with the leftover sauce (highly recommend!).Not sure if it was a mistake, but I ordered spiciness 4 (out of 6) and numbness 4 (out of 6), with 3 being medium on the scale for both. It was way spicier than I thought one level above 3 would be! Everyone at the table was confused as 3 wasn't spicy at all.
Shout out to instagram! That's where I saw reels of this place. I had to go! I drove an hour, and it was definitely worth the drive. Customer service was great and the food was amazing. The pork bun is a 10/10. Definitely will go again
The quality and taste of the noodles here have really deteriorated. The ramen had a bad, weird aftertaste and the charsiu tasted too porky. I couldn't finish the lukewarm noodles. The ingredients didn't seem fresh. It was very pricey for a below par meal.

All the people I know recommend you order any of the noodles without soup and I agree! Very tasty and chewy noodles with sweet, spicy, and numbing sauce/broth. The fried chicken is very good as well and I recommend you get the 16 pc and share with your friends/family. Took off a star only bc they put some green onions in when I specified no green onions. The waitresses were very nsuy but were able to attend to all the tables with a happy attitude !!!
Liked their set up, order on the screen and seat yourself. First time seeing a numbness level option. If you're not used to it, will be surprising but if you are, it's sooooo good. Also got their strawberry smoothie. That was a nice compliment after a hot and spicy bowl of noodles. fair pricing, nice interior. Friendly staff. Would recommend.
A different take on Japanese ramen, I think, since it may not be ramen at all. They have ramen on the menu, but the main attractions seem to the the spicy versions with or without soup.Based on recommendations from my kids, who recommended this place, I tried the Downtown version that is more vinegar based than Tokyo that has more peanut butter creaminess to it. You also get to choose spicy and numbness levels.I went with 4/4 on the spice and numb levels, and could have taken up to a 5/5 or 6/4 as the numbness has never been my thing.I enjoyed my meal and happy i tried it, but not blown away and ready to line up for more. Maybe I need to fine tune my spice and numbness levels some more and/or try some of the other dishes. We also tried the fried chicken, which maybe the secret menu item. Problem was, they didn’t have two of the sauces I really wanted to try (Korean and spicy). I did ask and got some chili oil which helped kick up the basic sauce they have and describe as like “Chick fi La” sauce.Service was friendly, so have to give some credit for that, otherwise might be a 3 star review.Anyway, happy I tried it and will update my review of opinion changes.
Such a delicious meal. We ordered the chicken side as an appetizer and the meat is juicy and crispy!We all ordered different dishes and loved it! It definitely is really spicy, would not go over a 3 in spiciness unless you think you can really handle it!We also ordered a vegetarian dish and it was yummy! Thanks so much!
I had Tokyo style without soup today.I really love it. I had 3 spiciness and 2 numbness. I eat spicy food, and I feel like I could handle higher spicy level.But my friend who doesn’t eat spicy would pick 2 or 1 spiciness.Without soup one would come with a bowl of rice.After finishing the noodles, we gotta add rice in creamy sauce :)Tasty~Fried chick was very good too!
