Absolutely the best Ramen in Town!

They posted an ad in Craigslist saying they do not give overtime pay. Now, it's POSSIBLE that they meant overtime hours aren't available, but the wording is suspicious. Maybe a report to the labor board might clear things up.

I love Kaiju Ramen and have been going for years to get a taste of their Tonkatsu Ramu and sushi. The atmosphere is awesome, the food is great and the drinks are also something I very much look forward to.

I had to give then 3🌟 however ad the in-house service has been on and off. There have been times during the day when their service is second to none, but there has been times during later in the evening when time is winding down and the service becomes extremely lackluster and disinterested. The latter also extends to orders on UberEats. Twice I've ordered my regular Spicy Tonkatsu Ramen with an added on +chicken leg and twice they've neglected to include it. That leads to the inconvenience of having to deal with Ubereats customer service to receive a partial refund, and when I try to call the restaurant to express myself the phone is always inoperable. The food also takes a hit in quality.

I'll still eat at Kaiju, however I would recommend dining in ad opposed to delivery.

I didn’t like the self service aspect. All our food was served in to go containers which is super wasteful because we ate there. Food was okay.

Ordered from here off Uber Eats tonight. My ramen arrived with very little broth, and the extra egg I ordered wasn't there. There were also only a few very small slices of pork in the ramen.

I tried calling the restaurant to ask for more broth and to see if they would fix the order. An automated system answered and I pressed a prompt to request a call back from customer service. I never got the call back and ended up eating cold ramen noodles, pork, and toppings.

The food was so mid. I got the spicy chicken ramen and it was the least flavorful ramen I ever tasted. The noodles tasted either old and reheated and there was barely any broth. I was excited for a hot bowl of ramen and left so disappointed. At least the staff were nice and the ambiance was fun, but other than that, there are many better ramen places.

Love their ramen, but ordering to go is hell.

It's Tuesday at 6:10 pm. There hours say they should be open, but their website won't let me order and they aren't answering their phones. The link their system sent me didn't even list their restaurant, It listed a restaurant in Pasadena, MD as my closest. I live in SE...

I guess I'll order from Jinya.

Stopped in for some ramen a couple of weeks ago. The staff was nice, and the food was good. We ordered some hand rolls to start and the gyoza. The hand rolls were delicious, and the gyoza was pan friend perfectly, which gave them a great crisp... definitely the best I've ever had. Regarding the ramen, we both ordered the Kaiju Tonkotsu Ramen, which was good. The broth did not have that rich tonkotsu taste, but it wasn't bad... just not as good as in other places I've had it. Overall, it's a good place to stop by for some ramen on a cold day!

I absolutely LOVED THIS PLACE!! & I initially took my Bf here because he's heavily into Anime! & when I googled bars this came up so I figured I'd surprise him because life been lifing for him. Alex was our awesome Waiter he explained everything and was so welcoming, suggestive simply what customer service should be!!..It's very Colorful,welcoming, and there's a Tv with Anime literally Everywhere!!. My favorite part was the heart beat moving!!! I've NEVER seen nothing like it!. They have an amazing Speakeasy bar downstairs, it's soo cool. The kitchen is in face view so you can see ppl making your food. They have several food options Ramen(my thing), Soju, regular drinks(not refillable tho), appetizers like the Monster Claw(chicken tenders) sooo good. I ordered the divinely delicious Spicy Chicken Ramen with added 3.50 pork belly, they give you Thick pieces of pork, a whole wonderfully flavored chicken leg quarter and it was seasoned down!!!! hell the Whole bowl was!! That I drank the broth. You can swap the ramen noodle for a thick noodle think semi thickness of udon!! For no charge. The Speakeasy Bar layout was EVERYTHING very chill, Delicious strong drinks, a Good time for sure!! , the Bathroom was dope!!! Inside and out. The Place itself was very inviting once you came in, ANY BIG anime fan would loove this esp the action figures as into the decor and you can watch anime no matter which way you're seated or no matter which way your head turns. My Bf absolutely LOOOOOVED this place so much!! But I'm coming back for that Spicy Ramen with that delicious tender seasoned well leg quarter what you saaaayin lol

Parking: The location has free parking on weekends! But it's down the street on the next block parking is at the beginning of the street.
