Kizuki Ramen & Izakaya

Love Kizuki! It really is just like eating ramen in Japan!

Garlic Tonkatsu low sodium is the best!

Perfect take out ramen and so many different ways to make it

i doordashed from here and it’s packaged well ( i use their bag as a reusable bag now, it’s super cute.) and the food is super delicious.

Had great experience. Good food

Food was ok. The service was excellent!

The food and flavor are good. It could be better if it's not so salty. Atmosphere could be better if the music isn't so loud and too fast. Music isn't relaxing it's made for shopping. I love the house Salad.

I got the tonkatsu ramen and it was delicious. The pork belly was thick, tender and savory. The broth was rich and flavorful. Best ramen I've had in Tacoma.

It’s been years, but I’m never disappointed the service and everything is amazing and the food is fresh and so good

Really neat experience! Good food, good service (waiter was able to explain the different dishes really well), and we didn't really even feel like we were in the mall.

I haven't been to Kizuki in like 7 or so years and that was one of their Seattle locations, so I was really excited to hear that one in Tacoma opened up! My boyfriend and I decided to stop by as he is a huge Attack on Titan fan and they recently started a collab with Kizuki! As we spotted their location inside the mall, we saw cool Attack on Titan decals and were greeted warmly by one of the employees who then guided us to our table. I love that the tables already have menus on top of them and we started looking at what we wanted to eat and drink. My boyfriend got the chashu ramen combo with the lychee lemonade, I got the spicy ramen combo with the passionfruit lemonade, and we got the chicken karaage izakaya combo. My boyfriend also got the T-shirt which was really cool and apparently they are going to be raising the price starting today so glad we went the day prior!

The space was gorgeous and I love how cozy the ambiance was. It was brightly lit and they were play different decades of Japanese pop which was nice. I love that there is a cute storage of napkins and forks at the table that holds the sauces or seasoning as well as paper straws. The employees were great about checking in on customers throughout their dining but not too much or too little. It was the perfect spot to be at during the chilly autumn weather. The Attack on Titan collab artwork and decals were placed in such organized and perfect spots throughout the restaurant windows and there were two standees at the entrance.

Now for drinks and food, we got our drinks first and they were just given to us in regular cups. When we asked our waiter about the special cups that the drinks were supposed to come in, our waiter politely told us that he would get us the cups to take home which was thoughtful as it would be pain to take them when they had lemonade in them. I enjoyed my passionfruit lemonade but felt my boyfriend's lychee lemonade tasted a little off. Then, we got our chicken karaage and it was delicious! We really loved the sauce and I really like the meat inside as it was tender. Then we got our ramen and those bowls may look small but they are deceptively huge with their toppings, noodles, and broth! I wanted to try my boyfriend's broth and get more broth but I underestimated how much of my food that I had, so I didn't get a chance to try it out.. I also am very happy and impressed with their spicy level as I ordered hot and they delivered so be wary for those who cannot handle spicy. I did add more chili oil and togarashi though because I'm a sucker for spiciness. I felt the pork broth was too salty and wished they had a less sodium option available but it seems that's only their shoyu ramen broth. The chashu was also salty but I did like it as it was huge and tender. I usually drink all my broth in all the other ramen spots I go to and I would have loved to do the same at Kizuki but it was just too salty for me.

We really appreciate the service here as everyone was friendly and helpful during our time here, even when they were an hour away from closing. We look forward to coming back and trying out other menu items!

I like being in the mall for this soup it looks cool & cozy. The soup is really good. It's just more expensive than a few other places but the pork belly is smoky so thst was good. Try it at least.
