    I really crave the Green Chili Shio Ramen here. The broth is not as heavy and I appreciate how savory it is. I crave this for sure!

    I've tried dozens of ramen places all over the west coast, but I keep coming back to Kitakata. The noodle texture and the consistency are the main reasons. The noodles are firm and just how I prefer. The broth is savory and full of flavor. The service is always on point. The seasonal mapo tofu ramen is delicious as it combines two of my well liked dishes. Not too salty. The large portion is perfect for my large appetite.

    Most authentic ramen spot I have found in the area. Food is great, portion is huge, staff is attentive and friendly. Spicy Miso Ramen is my favorite.
