Kojin is the best thing that’s ever happened to noodle lovers in Key West. I do not say this lightly, as we spent several hours on the first nights of our week-long stay in town repeatedly looking for a decent noodles or ramen bar on the island. Shockingly there is nothing authentically delicious (based on google reviews and photos) until we took a chance on Kojin. Their house ramen has that lip smacking gelatinous deep tonkotsu pork broth that sticks to your mouth, I can taste how long the chef has labored over that broth vs. anything that came out of a packet! And wavy ramen noodles served al dente too? Damn! It completely took me by surprise that I would find such an authentic bowl in a town with non-existent Asian restaurants. Let’s move onto the beef pho noodle soup next - so much flavor packed in the broth, the right spices to develop the depth, and then chef serves it with fish sauce on the side (how you’re supposed to eat pho!) What?! I didn’t have to ask for it! And then there is the homemade pork belly bun - the fatty pork melts in your mouth and the hoisin sauce balances out the richness. There’s also the curry shrimp noodles, the cumin lamb ramen, and the dragon bowl, the spicy ramen in peanut sauce …the flavor keeps changing, reaching a different culinary region in Asia, and somehow nailing every flavor profile just right! With so few items on its menu and yet such distinct flavors and richness that pays respect to the region each dish represents - but with not a single Asian supermarket on the island to source supplies…how does he do it?? I’m in awe. After trying about 80% of the menu over just two days, we are completely in love with this little jewel and it will always be the first place we stop whenever we come back to Key West. Please stay this authentic and true to your craft Kojin, you have brought us so much foodie joy on this trip!!

We tried the pho and the crab udon noodle soup.
The pho was the standout—the meat was excellent, tender, and well-prepared, making it the highlight of the meal.
The crab udon had nicely deep-fried crab, which was enjoyable, but the broth leaned sweet and didn’t quite hit home for us. The flavors just didn’t come together as strongly as we expected.
Overall, solid spot with good execution on the pho. Worth a visit, especially if you’re craving noodles in the key west, but a bit hit-or-miss depending on the dish.

The food is great, the place itself is very simple , but the prices are high end. Maybe overall prices in Key West are just much higher than what I'm used to
The steamed buns with pork belly were great

Super delicious!!! It was slow when we got there, but the gentleman who served us was so so sweet. We tried the tiger prawn, which was perfect, and the miso veggie ramen. Surprisingly packed with flavor and prepared with love. We didn’t have time to go back but if we are in the keys, it would be my first stop. Also their place is covered in hand painted art walls, quite interesting and impressive to look at. Lovely spot.

First things first - the Green Tea Creme Brulee absolutely stole the show! My teenage daughter says it's the best dessert she's had in years, and is now her new favorite. Service was great during a fairly busy time of night.
