Incredible vegan ramen There's only one vegan ramen on the menu but my non-vegan friend said it was the best thing on it and had serious order envy. Don't be afraid of the three chilis, the spice level was very manageable

Love the horseradish ramen.

The seasonal ramen was insanely salty especially after the miso paste was mixed in.

Lots of (3!) unique veggie ramen (matcha broth and kale noodles!). They have some other unique items like matcha fries. The veggie ramen is more complex than most other veggie ramens Ive had and the soy meat is good. I wish they had an option that was heavier on the vegetables though.

COZY RAMEN 🍜 Walked in on a cold night while most restaurants were semi-empty, Karazishi Botan was packed. Be warned this place is… cozy. Might be tough waiting for 2 or more but I was flying solo. I waited for 5-10 minutes and ironically got the most spacious and comfiest seat in the restaurant at the couch by myself. The atmosphere is lively and energetic. The menu Is extensive as they have much more than ramen. I ordered the wedge salad with mango dressing which was light and a nice counter balance to the savory. Also the takoyaki octopus balls are amazing; I mean you should always order this wherever you are. The tonkatsu ramen 🍜 was very delicious and hits the spot. The broth could’ve been a touch saltier and there could’ve been 1-2 more pieces of chashu but overall very good. Highly Recommended ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

It was my first time at the restaurant. We ordered their signature Ironman ramen and the shishito peppers. Overall, I was very disappointed with the food. The ramen broth was interesting due to the addition of rosemary oil, but it was overly oily, with nothing to balance out the flavor. The biggest disappointment was the overcooked noodles, and the chashu was cold, with a lingering pork smell that was unpleasant. Perhaps my expectations were too high, but I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone seeking a quality bowl of ramen, nor will I return for another try. It’s unfortunate to have had such a poor experience, especially when most of the other reviews are positive.
Highway robbery! Ordered the Tonkotsu Ramen and Shishito Peppers. Both were disappointing, especially because of what I paid. The ramen broth was good, but the noodles tasted like undercooked boxed spaghetti from the grocery store and the two slices of chasu pork were laughingly thin. Adding corn (which was clearly frozen or canned, definitely not fresh) and a mediocre marinated egg brought the cost to $24. To top it off, I literally only received 8 shishito peppers for the appetizer, which cost $8.50. That’s more than a dollar per pepper!! Insane. Please avoid ordering delivery from this place - it’s a huge ripoff for what you get.

The most incredible ramen I've had in a long time. I would love to add a photo to this review, but my food disappeared too quickly.
Vegetarian options: Lots of vegetarian options. It seems like most options can substitute the meat. Be sure to ask for off-menu items!
Dietary restrictions: Vegan options available as well.
