What People's Say About Place

Really great ramen, the broth is rich and flavorful. The meat also had a great taste but could have been thicker slices w the edges crispy. The eggs were cooked almost perfect. I could have done with out the extremely large fish cake on top. Service was beautiful. It's a small place so there might be a wait. The parking is also limited. Great place highly recommend.

This was my first visit and I ordered take out. I had one pork charsu sandwich and regular tonkatsu Ramen with the spicy sauce on the side and added green onions. I called on the phone and was told my order would be done in 20 minutes. When I walked in a nice young man caught my eye as I walked in, I indicated a phone order, he asked for my name, and had my order immediately. The restaurant was packed and more people were coming in while I paid for my food. The first thing I noticed when I got home was how perfectly everything was packaged, there were even instructions on the package of chopsticks and broth spoon. The broth was on the bottom and a bowl sat on top with the ingredients separate. I mixed everything together adding the spicy sauce a little at a time until it was to my liking. I used more than half the container they had given me and it was plenty warm so I'm glad I had ordered the regular with the spicy sauce on the side. The portions were perfect, two nice slices of pork and plenty of ramen noodles. The broth was rich with a delicious flavor. I also highly recommend getting the pork charsu from the appetizer menu. It was on a bao bun fluffy as a cloud. The pork was smokey flavored, melt in your mouth, with a lovely Korean barbecue sauce and fresh slivered vegetables. Definitely a place I would return to again and again.

Takuyaki!!!! Yall know how much i love a good takuyaki. This takuyaki is awesome and ill ve coming back to it. I tried the vegtable ramen, it was good with hand breaded tofu but the broth needs a lil deeper flavor. The mayo fries which seemed to have cheese and a form of maybe some homemmade thousand island, idk if it was mayo? But they were super well fried and the sauce made them slap. Um the downside is the door in the picturr REAKS of cigrette. Its definetly this ancient building though. I think they need to upgrade there spot already haha. Not really there fault, this builing is OlD like i remember when i was like 5 and it was luigis lmao

If they are serving half boiled marinated eggs for your ramen, you know they are on the right track for authentic Japanese ramen. They have several different types of noodles to fit your preferences. From rich broth to spicy broth, you will be able to find a ramen that comforts your pallets. Not into broth for some reason? They also have some options for rice dishes, such as Katsu combo or Don (meaning topped rice). Appetizers are not too heavy and full of deliciousness. Only downside I can think of this restaurant is the limited seatings/parking spaces and somewhat unclear instructions on waiting list. Because there is no host, you are kind of on your own to find the clipboard for waitlist and write your name down. Some may say ordering through kiosk is complicated, but instructions on kiosk is very straight forward and you can even see all kinds of modification/add-on options for your meal on one screen.

This is the best food I’ve put in my mouth in a long time it’s so bomb! They eggs are cooked perfectly and the broth is savory and delicious! Highly recommend! I’ve been there like 5 times already this past week for lunch as it’s quick convenient and delish! I love the kiosk to order then just sit right up at the bar. Workers are friendly too!

I love Kami Ramen. This is the go to restaurant in Anchorage for my wife and I. We always get the spicy tonkotsu and masago mayo fries. Never had a bad meal here. I've been to Japan and I'll say this is definitely the most authentic ramen in town. Only down side is there is limited parking and seating so get there early.

I am visiting from Texas and had the Veggie ramen; my friend had the spicy miso ramen. The veggie ramen was very flavorful (I added some spice to it). Tofu was great. The spicy miso ramen was not very spicy didn’t have as much toppings or meat in it. I also got the yogurt green tea with the brown sugar boba. The boba is not like the regular black and circular boba and tasted different but just ok. About $17 per ramen and the drink was almost $7.

Love Kami Ramen! They have changed the ordering process and it was a little confusing. Once I figured it out, it was great. We could have used a water refill and the servers just delivered our food and didn’t check in to refill water or if we needed anything after.
