The noodles at this place are uniquely curly and chewy, unlike most thin ramen noodles. I would recommend the Spicy Miso Ramen, which is spicy and super rich, and the Umakara Tan Tan Ramen, which has a prominent nutty flavor and a generous topping of cubed pork. Vegetarian options: They have a Vegan Miso Ramen and veggie appetizers. Parking: It is a small parking lot that services several businesses. Be prepared to circle around and squeeze into tight spaces during peak hours.
Food was good - had fried chicken as the menu is heavily pork, which I don't eat. There was a vegetarian Ramen which I will try next time. Had a baby with us and they accommodate the stroller real well as he was sleeping.
Five stars isn’t enough for the experience I just had at Kitakata. The tan tan ramen is mind blowing. I can’t think of a single thing that would have made that dish any better. Delicious broth, with melt in your mouth pork belly and the most amazing homemade noodles. Our server Audrey was the sweetest. Highly highly recommended.
