Love love love this place. Such great ramen compared to other places in the woodlands. I just hope they can stay open it's been a month since the closed for the weekend.

This place has gone down significantly in service. Not worth the money. I live less then 10 minutes away and I ordered from them and received undercooked and ice cold food. They did not even attempt to be courteous when we called to complain about the cold food. Also the last time we dined in we order a 9 dollar drink and was served it without ingredients needed to make the drink. Why was I served and charged for this? Poor quality and I recommend you take your money elsewhere.

I love Koji Ramen bar. They are definitely my favorite ramen place in the spring/Rayford area. My concern is that they are shutting their doors. On July 24th I went with family and there was a sign out stating they would be closed for the day. As well as today, I went in to order take out and yet another sign on the door. This one stated they would be closed on August 7th and August 8th, but it is currently the 12th and it was still closed. Please tell me that my favorite ramen spot isn't closing?

Good things first,the environment, staff and music was nice.But the most important thing, the food was dissapointing.If you have been to Japan and tried original japanese food, you will be very dissapointed with their food.The Karage was small and dark brown, the Takoyaki was kind of hard outside.If you want to get an idea of japanese food its ok, but dont expect its same as the real japanese food.

Absolutely will not be eating here again. The hostess & young lady that took our order were great! However, the food is nasty. I went to this place a long time ago & everything was good! They must’ve changed ownership. The menu had way more than what they have now. I got the spicy miso kimichi ramen. Supposedly it was to have pork belly, but it was more like a piece of dried chicken, the “broth” was more of a tomato soup consistency. It just wasn’t appetizing. My cousin got some kind of rice bowl with pork belly on top. It was literally a bowl of rice with 3 or 4 small strips of pork belly (she didn’t eat it & ended up sending it back), she got the wings instead. Nothing extravagant, fried wings drenched in sweet chili sauce. This place is nothing how they used to be. It’s unfortunate because they were actually good once upon a time.

We had just spent the morning exercising heavily We thought of nothing better and to get a light yet refreshing bowl of ramen. I got the mixed broth and then added a few spoons of her spicy broth and they both really came to life. We left with our bellies satisfied and the price was nice too.

Save your money and go somewhere else. Besides my wonderful waitress, the rest is horrible, from the food to the owner making the food in the kitchen, yelling and don’t have any custom service skills. It’s just sad. The foods are not authentic at all. This is not Asian food. Yes you heard it from a true Asian, just don’t go here. I hope my waitress find somewhere else to work soon because looks like he doesn’t know how to treat his staffs.

Will always give the best Review for this place. I have tried sooo many Ramen in the Houston And Surrounding Areas and this by far has to be the best Ramen. Other places have there noodles all too sticky and the broth disappearing into the noodles but not this place. If you are looking for a spot that knows how to do it right and to enjoy your food, pick gyozas as your appetizer and then choose Spicy Miso Ramen. Amazing taste.

So I decided to give Koji a try, since I normally go to Daikoku and wanted to try something new. I have to say that I likely won't be coming here again. You can almost always judge a restaurant off of their water, and the water my table was given tasted like it came from the tap, which is no issue normally, but I have never tasted tap water so disgusting. I got Takoyaki for the table and it was okay, the egg salad was an odd component and I found myself avoiding it. We got the wings (sauce on the side) for my autistic and very picky brother, but noticed odd black spots on them and chose to order the chicken katsu instead, which was quite bland and just overall not good. The icing on the cake was, for one, hearing the chef complain from the kitchen window about having to remove the garnishes from the katsu for my brother, and the measly 3 pieces of tough pork belly in both me and my father's 13 dollar ramen bowls. I really had high hopes for this place, but as someone who works in the restaurant industry, Koji has many areas that they need to improve on. I will say, our server was very sweet and accommodating, which is my reasoning for 2 stars instead of 1. I hope that they were just having an off day, but even if they were, I won't be returning.

Service was good but $15 Tonkotsu ramen was extremely salty. The $11 Koji curry only had 2 pieces of carrot and 2 pieces of broccoli and was mostly a think brown gravy without much substance, but it came with rice. This was our first time, and don't think we will be back.
I've been coming to koji for about 3 years now and it my favorite place to eat! I only have one thing to say. PLEASE BRING BACK KIMCHI FRIES!!!!! Y'all had them for so long and sometimes I would come in just for those. please please please bring them back!

My daughters took me here and I was skeptical, but I soon changed my mind. The food was awesome and the staff was very polite and the service was prompt. I highly recommend, especially if your looking for something different!

I cannot say enough great things about this cute little Ramen bar. First and foremost the manager, Victoria went out of her way to serve us. She was so friendly, knowledgeable, and made the dinning experience unlike any other. I am impressed with how DELICIOUS the vegan Ramen was. Not only was it 100% vegan, it was seasoned perfectly. The prices were very reasonable and the whole atmosphere definitely made for a perfect Saturday lunch. Go!!! You won't regret it!

We received only 75% of out food (table of 7). The rest of our party was already almost finished eating when we asked our waitress about our missing items. She said they were working on it. After a few minutes, we checked again, but found out that they hadn't even started our food. Yet, other people who had come in after us were already served. When we complained our server and another server said sorry, but it wasn't their fault. The whole experience was very unpleasant. I don't think the staff was very well trained. Which is a shame, because what we did receive was really good food.

Food is very good as well the ambiance. Often come here with friends and enjoy the music choices.
