KC Craft Ramen

Always a phenomenal experience! Lunch is a little different than dinner service but very easy to navigate. Great selection and the staff all greet you in Japanese. They have very cool little kitschy things scattered around the whole restaurant that ypu can purchase. They have enough of a variety that pretty much anyone can find something. Also, you have to try the calamari, its sooooo good! And they don't balk at modifications which is amazing! We come here often and will absolutely continue to do so!

i don't write reviews like this because i also work in the food industry and have been a waitress for 8 years. i also frequent this place for lunch and dinner on the occasion, so i know the protocol when eating there decently well. there wasn't a line today for lunch so i didn't put my name on the list, i just walked up to the stand. they tried taking my order as soon as i said hello, and of course i was confused because i was here less than a week ago for lunch at open and had normal service at the table. they told me "we do things differently at lunch time," but i've never had service like this here before. they said it was okay that i didn't know what i wanted to eat yet, so they gave me a table number and a menu and let me choose a seat and said someone will be right with me to take my order. nobody came to me after about 10 minutes, mind you i was STARVING and so polite about everything. also, i was sitting directly next to where they package togo orders. i had been making eye contact and smiling at everyone definitely indicating that i needed help. finally the person that had greeted me, Kai, had taken my order. they were extremely nice and accommodating. i had tipped 20% because of him, however the remainder of my experience was unpleasant. when i received my food, it was in plastic ware and a plastic bowl. i definitely got less food than normal because i'm not usually able to finish it, and was still hungry after. the server had dropped it at my table without giving me utensils. when i asked them for some they told me if i needed anything else then to go get it myself. the lady next to me had asked for a water and they just pointed at the water dispenser instead of grabbing it for her. nothing was explained to me, everyone around me and myself were extremely confused. i shouldn't have tipped because i was essentially eating takeout with no service and was just sitting in a cafeteria. by the time i was finished eating, i reached for my onigiri that i had grabbed earlier and was SO thankful because i was still starving. i took one but and found a long black hair in it. i took a picture before i pulled the whole thing out. i wish i had gone somewhere else today.

So amazing. Love the spicy vegan ramen. They are always nice enough to put the spice on the side so I can choose how spicy to make it. The tofu is wonderful. Can't get enough of this place! Love that they offer alcoholic beverages too. I have been 4 or 5 times now it's always delicious. I recommend ordering extra broth to go to get more out of your left overs.

We attended a recent pop-up event at KC Craft Ramen and were very pleased with the experience. It was more than just a meal! It was an experience from the minute we walked in the front door! Customers are greeted loudly and cheerfully by the entire staff. Every one of the wait staff was friendly and welcoming. The food was phenomenal. The goodies store in the front of the shop is fascinating. I could have spent an hour in there! We even met the chef who was on the floor making sure every one was happy with their food. And as we left the staff again thanked us and welcomed us back soon. What a fun and delicious meal. We can’t wait to go back again.

KC Craft Ramen is busy and for a good reason. This place gets PACKED, so checking in online while you’re on the way is the move. It puts you in a digital line and helps cut down the wait. Once you arrive, there may still be people waiting depending on the time of day. Guests are asked to wait outside, which helps keep the entry clear. When your table is ready, make your way through the crowd and let the host know, otherwise they may seat others who step up first. The food absolutely delivers. Everything tasted fresh, well prepared, and satisfying. The appetizers were solid, and the ramen hit exactly how it should. Great flavors, done right. The atmosphere is unique and adds to the experience. I haven’t found many ramen spots in KC that truly hit the spot, but this one nails it. Will definitely be back.

It is beautiful inside. And very busy! You can tell that there is so much love and care poured into the food just from watching other customers eat. The bun was so crispy and absolutely delicious. The takoyaki Was also very good. You can tell the octopus they put inside is very fresh! I got the KC red with extra pepper paste and oh my goodness was it spicy! But it was such a good spice. I will definitely be back!

This place was absolutely amazing!! My boyfriend and I are from Omaha and we saw it on the maps and had to try it out. I am a ramen lover and this place exceeded expectations!! I ordered the black garlic ramen and he ordered the creamy chicken ramen. We also ordered gyoza and the KC buns. Everything was wonderful, you have to try it out!!

The service was amazing! The food tasted so good! The place looks so cute and clean! Definitely will go again

Decided to try this restaurant with a group of six people. We went for early dinner at 4:30pm on weekend, but it was still packed. Thankfully, we only had to wait about 10 minutes for a table. The ambience is very cozy and they have Japanese style decor sprinkled throughout. Service was phenomenal as all the employees were so friendly and proactive. I had the spicy creamy chicken Ramen with the spicy sauce on the side. I liked doing this so I could control the spice level. Overall, the broth was very tasty as were the meat and other toppings. My fiancé had the KC Red which was also delicious and less spicy. We decided to try the homemade Gyoza, which were so perfect perfectly crisp on one side and soft on the other.

We chose ramen for a family dinner looking for something warm and comforting on a cold evening. Parking was a challenge, and the restaurant seemed popular which was promising. We had a large party and although the restaurant was very crowded the wait was not very long and they were very accommodating and friendly. The only concern is that there really isn't an area to wait. We had 11 people in our party and as more people came to check in we were all pretty squished. There is a store in the waiting area that had so many great options. My kids tried the onigiri (spicy chicken and spicy salmon) while waiting and said it was good. The staff was very welcoming, and as we were seated everyone you passed greeted you. Although we weren't able to be seated together, we were all right by each other and they provided excellent service! We ordered the gyoza, Spicy creamy chicken ramen (spicy on the side), KC Black garlic. The gyoza had mixed reviews from the group ranging from good but wished it had a little less char to it being the best gyoza they had. Everyone who ordered the spicy creamy chicken ramen loved it. My daughter ordered the KC Black and said it was really good but was expecting more garlic flavor. My sister ordered the KC Pepper chicken as an appetizer and that was a hit among the whole group. Because we were new we didn't realize we had to grab our drinks from the front before being seated but we were able to go out and get them quickly. Dinner was great and we would definitely return!

Visited the establishment yesterday was immediately greeted by the friendly hosts. They accommodated walk-ins very well. As we sat down, we noticed the unique decorations of anime figures and even anime playing on one of the TVs. Additionally, different snacks and drinks from Japan were available for purchase. The server helped answer questions about different types of ramen and was very knowledgeable about the ingredients differentiating each one. I chose the KC Black and it was absolutely delicious! The portions were a great size and I loved the flavors. I highly recommend visiting KC Ramen if you are craving good eats and would enjoy a unique environment.

We came here for the Sano ramen Yamato pop up! I loved how flavorful the broths were and they were very organized for the popup. I got the spicy miso ramen and my fiancée had the shoyu ramen. The pork belly, egg, and bamboo shoots were the perfect topping. A good bowl of ramen really depends on the noodle texture and it was perfect. We also tried their black pepper chicken and it was sooo good! I could just eat the chicken with rice and that would be my dinner! It had the perfect crisp with a sweet peppery shoyu glaze ontop. They are definitely super popular so I would be prepared to wait especially if they are having a pop up.

Since my first visit to KCCR, I've since attended not one, but TWO of their incredible "pop up" events with international chefs! Both of those times proved to be a very different experience from the first, from the angles of food, service, ambiance, and overall experience! Since the latest was the best, I'll comment on that one here! We reserved tickets to the Yamoto event the day they broke cover. Upon arrival a few minutes before our reservation, we were checked in outside on a FRIGID November afternoon (wind chills in the teens with LOTS of autumn wind!), but were ushered under a tent with multiple blasting heaters! PHEW!! We waited in line outside, and then inside, for about 20 minutes. We were seated in the side room to the east of the primary dining room, and let me tell you: short of a view to the kitchen, THIS is where you want to enjoy your ramen! This room is GORGEOUS! Florals hanging from the ceiling, windows all around with loads of natural light...wow! We were promptly attended to, and all our questions were answered promptly and with excellent expertise and guidance! I actually changed my mind from what I had premeditated to order, based on the information from the waitress. And boy, was it a GREAT recommendation! This was, by far, the best experience yet that I've enjoyed at KC Craft Ramen! The first was...fine. The second was MUCH better, and this third visit (and second pop up) was AMAZING! The bowl was ON. FRIGGIN'. POINT. After our meal, one of the owners visited our table for a few minutes and engaged in a great discussion about the pop ups, upcoming events, and more! She also asked the guest chef and his lovely wife to come to our table for photos! I'm quickly becoming a massive ramen convert! Food = 5/5 Facility = 4/5 Service = 5/5 Ambiance = 5/5 Value = 4/5

This is such a cute and fun restaurant! There's a mini market right as you walk in with a bunch of Japanese snacks, drinks and figurines. It's pretty much a self service place - you seat yourself, grab utensils and water, and clean up after yourself. Food was served to the table and came out pretty quickly. The broth I had was super flavorful and the toppings were well cooked! Definitely one of the top 3 ramen spots in the KC area!

For lunch, it was a little bit of weight, but it was very worth it. We had the KC Black, spicy chicken, and miso ramen. All three bowls had good taste, and rich flavors. The noodles was cooked perfectly. Great place to have delicious Ramen.

The food was overall excellent! Service was super fast. Everyone was very helpful. My complaints were the uncomfortable chairs, that the appetizer came out after the entrees, and that you pay before you get your food at your table, including tip. I loved the added space on the side. The decor there was really pretty. I would recommend!

Wow. Got the black garlic ramen carryout. Wish I would've gotten more. Well packaged. Flavors were amazing. Rich and flavorful. Noodles were good. The egg! I could've eaten six. Highly recommend. The ramen was so delicious!

You will not get better ramen in KC!! Plus, they are constantly having Ramen pop-ups and inviting Chefs to showcase their specific ramen and recipes. They waygu sushi is money! Whether it's their own ramen or a guest chef, it always hits. Plus the ambience and staff is friendly!

Fantastic ramen and such a fun experience! First, I'll say that KC Craft Ramen has a lively, casual energy and unique, adorable decor. We were welcomed warmly to by a hostess who saw us to our table, fairly quickly since we took advantage of their waitlist option. From there, we ordered the KC Black ramen, KC Bun and gyoza pork dumplings - all were amazing! Our ramen was perfectly savory and creamy, with al dente noodles and delicious pork. Our other appetizers were also great - the KC bun is a standout with tender and flavorful pork belly on a fluffy bun. Highly recommend a visit to this unassuming strip mall shop in OP for some fantastic ramen and vibes!

As many other yelpers have stated, this is truly the best ramen in KC. It rivals the ramen I've had in other major cities. I seriously think about the ramen here at least once a week because it is that good! You truly can't go wrong with any of their menu items. Whether you get to go/ or dine in you will not be disappointed.

We came here on a Wednesday for dinner and got seated right away. Everyone was so friendly and we got our food so fast! Everything was delicious! I was bummed they were out of the calamari becuase I really wanted to try that, but everything else I had was so good. The ramen is the best I've had anywhere! Definitely will be back again.

What a great experience! I had a friend in town who had been wanting to try KC Craft Ramen for a while so we went there. We both got the creamy chicken ramen and it was oh so yummy. The staff were great & super nice. The restaurant was extremely cute and clean. It was a relaxing meal.

Loved getting to try this out during an event weekend. It holds up in comparing it to true Ramen from Japan!! Appetizers were good - and ramen was piping hot, fresh and full of flavor. Love the area when you walk in to choose your drink or item to go or whatever other fun item they have to check out. We will definitely be back and bring friends. Service was quick and friendly. LOVED loved the atmosphere.

Great first experience here! Went inside with the hopes of placing a to-go order, but not knowing what to expect. There was a menu on a pedestal in the back right corner (which I assume is for this purpose) and a bench. I was able to easily place an order on my phone after browsing the printed menu. I was also appreciative that there were no added fees when placing an order online. After only 10 minutes, a waitress asked if I was waiting on an order -- apparently it was already ready! The online system told me it would take 20 minutes, so what a pleasant surprise! Also, it was fun to see "the vibe" in there. Felt like a really positive atmosphere! Also, restaurant staff sounded like they were cheering and such pretty regularly? I'm not sure what that was about (someone please educate this newbie, lol) but it created a very fun vibe. :) I ordered the vegan ramen. It was AMAZING and sooo flavorful! Often restaurants skimp on making vegan meals flavorful, but not at KC Craft Ramen! The to-go order was also perfectly packed in a brown paper bag with napkin, chopstick, fork, and spoon. The large paper bowl has a smaller bowl insert, which held all the ingredients above the broth. I was able to pour these in after my drive home for a deliciously fresh meal - and no soggy noodles! :) I'll definitely be back!

I absolutely adore this place! The home feel it has, the togetherness it brings! I'm just obsessed. Not to mention the food is spectacular. I will be coming back time and time again. It's filling, delicious, and a good atmosphere. The service is quick, the owner is also the sweetest person. If you haven't gotten then hint yet... yes I 100% recommend!

If you're looking for genuine hospitality and next level ramen, stop scrolling and come here. This was my first time experiencing this kind of restaurant, and the welcome was incredible, the moment we walked in, the entire staff greeted us with a unified, booming welcome that really made us feel appreciated. It's a fantastic display of Japanese hospitality and energy, and it set the tone for a great meal. Now for the food: the Miso broth is deeply savory and rich with that true umami flavor. It's comforting and complex, and I could seriously drink it by the gallon. I decided to upgrade my meat, and I am so glad I did. The pork belly chashu was incredibly tender... I mean, truly melt in your mouth soft. It was the kind of perfect bite that I would come back for on its own. When we left, the staff gave us another huge, synchronized thank you, which was just as exciting as the welcome. This place is a must try for the exceptional food and the truly special, energetic service!

Probably one of the best places you can get consistently solid and well crafted ramen in Kansas! If you're tired of fusion ramen having random non traditional things like carrots and veggies in a broth that just isn't hitting the spot, give this a shot. Even a year after opening there was always a 40 min+ wait until closing. It has calmed down since then but you can easily see why once you give this place a taste. If the food wasn't enough to make you come in, the makeshift Japanese store interior as you walk in is so cute with so many options. They even sell smiskis if you've been having a hard time getting your hands on these blind boxes. A unique restaurant experience unique to Kansas making it worth the visit! I always get the KC black if you want the most rich and savory soup base. The meat that comes with the creamy chicken is a little dry so I wouldn't personally recommend that one. The KC buns are pretty good to try but on the pricier side so I would rather get the gyoza which is both more satisfying and filling for a similar price. The wrapper is thin and crispy and the filling is well seasoned I didn't even need extra sauce! If you're a spice fiend the KC red is solid but i just opted for the KC black and asked for their spicy oil on the side (a little goes a long way)

Love love love this place. To get in line to order, you're in this aisle of unique Asian drinks, desserts, candies, merchandise. The staff is very friendly they hand to you the menu and tells you the most popular ramen (black garlic) while you wait to give your order. I opted to dine in during this lunch time. It's self serve, after you order you place your table number, get your utensils and they have hot/cold water dispenser. The order came out within 10 minutes, looks like a small portion but actually a deep bowl of wonderful ramen noodles (fresh hand stretched?) with pork Chasiu (pork), half soft boiled egg, mushrooms, etc. The broth is delicious, full of flavor. I can see why this is the highest rated ramen place in Lenexa/Overland Park area. Atmosphere is cute, with 2 dining areas large enough for what I can imagine the volume of dinner or weekend crowd. Decor is cute with live plants on the window sill, nice glass bulbs hanging from rustic ropes on wooden poles. There are twinkling red/orange/green lights which add to the festive atmosphere. I saw that the table next to me ordered the fried rice which they stir for your table side. Will definitely come back here next time am in town (hoping there's a next time since I love Kansas having visited this first time, my boyfriend Matt Dz*****z' hometown!)

I arrived a few minutes before they opened their doors for the lunch crowd and there was a line. Once the doors opened to comeback the anxious crowd the employees held the doors open and handed menus to each customer. A few minutes after you've received a menu they walked through the line with portable credit card machines to help take orders and quickly shorten the line. The employees continually asked if we were enjoying our food and if we needed anything else. The food was good but nothing special. My Spicy Sesame Vegan was supposed to be spicy but I think they could have easily added triple the amount or more spicy to give it a small bite. I'm a little disappointed there were a few meat choices except a lot of pork. The ambiance is very casual with Asian decor, tchotchkes, alcoholic and nonalcoholic drink options, and sweets to buy. I'd come again if I someone really wanted to but special trip for me.

I started hearing from friends about KC Craft Ramen months before it opened. Through the delays to get up and running, through their challenges to find enough employees to open for regular hours, to the long (very long) lines that kept me away for close to a year after their opening. I heard people raving. I finally went for lunch on a cold Saturday in late March. I got there about ten minutes after they opened (at noon) and the place was already packed. They sell all kinds of Japanese snacks and drinks as you walk in. I didn't get a good look at them, thinking I'd take a look after lunch. That didn't happen. By the time I went back there were so many people in line to get in, that area was too crowded. Entering the dining area almost every seat was filled, but it certainly looked like KC Craft Ramen solved their wait staff shortage. There were a lot of employees bustling about, saying hello, and cheerfully helping patrons. On their television monitors they played either Japanese anime or scenic shots of Japan. I was seated at a small table as soon as I got in and they brought a bottle of water, a stainless steel cup, service ware, and a menu. I asked the friendly young man who came to take my order (no one wears name tags) what his favorite dish was and he said immediately The KC Red. Because I wasn't sure about the heat level, he said they can put the chili sauce on the side. Turns out, I needn't have worried. The heat level was about the same as Sriracha. The ramen was okay. A little bland without the spicy oil. The noodles were great. The egg was sweet, which was a surprise, and not to my liking. And so was the bamboo shoots, which also had a few too many tough pieces. The char siu was better than I've had anywhere since moving to the Midwest. Compared to other Asian food restaurants in Kansas this one was better than most. All around me I could hear people raving to their friends about the food. I know my sister loves it. My friends love it. It's just not going to be my favorite. I'm glad I tried it, though.

Incredible! Definitely the best ramen I've ever had. Everything we had here was outstanding and service is outstanding, even with the high volume of customers. We started with the chicken bao buns, which we loved. Great cook on the chicken and great flavor. We also had some gyoza, which had a great crisp on it while maintaining the delectable flavor and moisture on the inside. My wife, who used to live in Japan, said this is what the gyoza tastes like in Japan. High praise! At this point it was no surprise how beautiful the ramen tasted. I went with the Spicy Miso Ramen and I was blown away. Amazing flavor, perfect spice level...and I would say everything was the perfect temperature too! The atmosphere is fun, with anime on multiple screens and so many additional things to purchase: Asian snacks, desserts, collectibles, etc. etc. I can't wait to return here. Compliments to the chefs and the staff.

The best ramen I've ever had--hands down! I went on a Tuesday, and the place was absolutely packed, which already told me I was in for something special. The atmosphere made me feel like I was right in Japan, surrounded by authentic decorations and shelves of Japanese snacks. I loved everything, from the perfectly seasoned edamame to the crispy, flavorful gyoza--and of course, the star of the show: the most delicious ramen I've ever tasted. I also ordered a side of pork belly, and I've never had it so tender, juicy, and melt-in-your-mouth good. For drinks, I tried an alcoholic beverage called Aladdin, and it was just as magical as the name suggests--rich, flavorful, and so refreshing. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, making the whole experience even better. If you're in the area, this is an absolute must-visit. 10/10 recommend!

I have to agree with the rest of Kansas City and say that KC Craft Ramen is indeed the best in town. I STILL haven't had a chance to dine in yet, but it's on my to-do list for 2025 for sure. We did doordash, which I know is not the best way to enjoy ramen, but I was probably two weeks postpartum, exhausted, and really craving a soft boiled egg, which I wasn't able to eat while pregnant, so when I saw that you could get KC Craft Ramen delivered I jumped at the chance to finally give this place a go. As far as delivery goes it's a slam dunk here for ramen. They take the care to package everything separate so that nothing gets too soggy, and you can easily assemble it in your own home. On a chilly November night this was the best thing to treat ourselves to and I am already thinking about our next visit. I'm immensely grateful that KC finally has a solid ramen spot as I didn't realize how spoiled I was when I lived in Seattle and I've been on the hunt for something that came close to what I experienced there. KC Craft Ramen is the closest you're going to get to west coast ramen in KC and lucky for me it's not too far away.

This is easily the best ramen in town--and that's saying a lot, considering the growing number of contenders popping up lately all over town. The broth has everything you'd look for in an authentic ramen broth - it's rich, thick, and deeply flavorful. And, the noodles are cooked to perfect al dente. But what I really want to highlight is the service and the overall ambience of the restaurant. Service is refreshingly authentic, staying true to Japanese hospitality. From the moment you step inside, you're transported into an entirely different world. KC Craft Ramen isn't just a meal worth eating--it's an experience worth having.

Food is always great, however, if you have the chance to attend one of their Collaboration meals, don't hesitate to purchase tickets.

Wow this place is a lot to take in. Grab your drink when you are waiting in line. There are all kinds of Asian candies and treats there too. We had the truffle edamame and I have to say it was outstanding! The taste was different (in a good way) and addictive. The spicy cream chicken ramen was flavorful, but no joke. They truly spiced it up, if you don't normally have truly spicy dishes, get the spicy sauce on the side. Absolutely fun, fast, and delicious. Will be here again.

My first time going here was in July, and I can say I've been there at least once a month since then. KC Craft is one of my favorite places to go out and eat not. The flavors of each broth are packed with flavor, and the noodles are handmade and have a great texture. The service has always been great, I've only had an issue one time and it was quickly corrected. The shop itself is very clean, and makes you feel like you are walking into an actual ramen shop in Japan. A few times a year they have Pop ups where they bring Chefs from Ramen shops in Japan who make their own recipes. No matter if you're going to eat from their normal menu or visiting for a pop up, it has never been a disappointment.

Location: Overland Park, Kansas city KS Ambiance: Family oriented. It is nice for a date too but it is usually crowded Food: i don't hesitate to say that it should be the best Ramen from Kansas city Metro. Ingredients feel fresh. Broth is delicious. I got the spicy chicken ramen and it was truly spicy. I just loved it. Noodles were perfectly cooked. Service: It is excellent. They are on top of you since the turnover is fast. Yelp factor: Best Ramen of Kansas city metro. Prove me wrong!!!!

My first experience with this place was amazing. My friends and I were greeted at the door by who I assumed to be the owner who explained that they had flown a chef out from Kanagawa Japan to make their ramen for the day. After hearing that, I was ready for a phenomenal experience- and KC Craft Ramen made sure to deliver one. The ramen I had there was fantastic. The broth was one of the best I have ever tried in my life. Besides the food the service there was wonderful. The whole staff was smiling and very lively. They greeted everyone with a hello when they walked in the door! Everyone there was also very eager to answer any questions. On top of everything the chef that had made the ramen came out to talk with us, and everyone else in the restaurant! They also have a mini shop in front for keychains, stickers, food, ect. Service was quick and the ambiance was lovely! I was completely blown away. I will be coming back.

Amazing!!! It's worth the drive from KCMO. The service was very friendly with an authentic feel as they greet you in Japanese when you walk in As you wait in line there are drinks (both alcoholic and non alcoholic), figurines, snacks, and desserts. You pay upfront before your meal is brought out, but they ask you if that's ok first. The ramen was delicious without many others who seem to over-season.

Everything was great. This was my first time there. I had, I think, Tonkatsu. Loved it. Everything smelled wonderful. The decor was cool. If you have a friend who is into anime, you should take them there:

Ramen on a cold winter day, what could be better? My partner and I ventured down to OP to try out this burgeoning hit and it did not disappoint. Tried to do a reservation but they don't take them here, they do have a wait-list on their website which seemed to work really well including giving you a time table of when you're up for a table. Walking in I was impressed with the livelihood of the place the staff are regularly yelling something in unison, no idea what that's about lol but pretty cool. The service is really great, such hospitable servers that take extra time to talk with you and make you feel right at home. I got the KC Black ramen which was really good, nothing too flashy honestly, just really rich and tasty broth with some standard components and black garlic. My partner had the KC Red ramen and that one has more of a spicy kick which was really incredible, highly recommend if you like a bit of spice and heat. I will say the chasu pork shoulder leaves a little to be desired. The bao buns were phenomenal and maybe my favorite part of our meal was the fried pork was just so mouth watering delicious! Overall the experience was pretty great, the atmosphere is a bit chaotic at what seemed to be peak dinner rush. Just lots of tables and servers moving around going above and beyond. I would definitely come back and try some other items on the menu that I've heard are great

We had a great dinner here and had no problem making reservations and getting in on a weekend. We ordered way too much food-generous portions. Since it was our first time, we got two starters and tried the Ramen. They were very accommodating to my hubby's corn allergy and made sure to leave it out. We had forgotten to mention that when we ordered, and they quickly met our needs. The Goyza and the bao buns were terrific! The Ramen was pretty good. It's not the best I've ever had, but I would return based on the service, ambiance, and the rest of the menu.

It's taken a bit to finally try this new spot, but KC Craft Ramen did not disappoint! The dining area was packed on a Tuesday night (and always it seems), with patrons encouraged to spend no more than an hour eating. The ramen was reasonably priced but most importantly, DELICIOUS. The gyoza is also incredible. Pair the meal with an Asahi Super Dry lager (which you grab from the front before being seated) and you've got the perfect combo. Tiny bowls of free spiced popcorn are just another bonus. Pro tip for herbivores: they allow you to sub tofu in any of the popular ramen offerings, which is a game changer. Not sure how an unassuming strip in Overland Park bagged such a fabulous restaurant, but we will be back!

WORST TOGO SERVICE EVER. I ordered Togo from Clover for my wife and I picked up my order and drove home. The lid to my wife's creamy chicken ramen was not securely in place. During my drive, the bag tipped over and all the broth from my wife's order spilled out. So I drove back to KC Craft Ramen. Since the restaurant will not answer the phone number from the receipt and there is no number posted on the website. The employee at the restaurant was happy to give me more cream chicken broth. I drove home with what I thought was Cream Chicken Broth. Once I got home, I realized it was spicy ramen. My wife and myself really do not enjoy spicy food. Completely unacceptable.... One of my worst dining experiences ever.

Lovely ramen joint with extremely fast service! Added a party of 8 to their waitlist and only had to wait about 15 minutes to be seated. We picked our drinks along the left wall where you walk in, and the hostess was able to take our order at the stand while we waited for our table. We also had the option of being seated before ordering, but we were hunnnnggrrryyy as this place was 35 minutes away from where we were staying. Our apps came as soon as we sat down! The pork gyoza that we ordered was pan fried and juicy theory the ramen, my husband got the KC Red (spicy oil) and I got the KC Black (black garlic). My husband got an extra serving of noodles as he said he was starving, but when the ramen came out, he realized he made a mistake because the portion sizes were very generous! My husband liked the KC Red, but said the KC Black had more depth in flavor and richness, and I agreed. We also got some free servings of bar snacks as they are currently running a special, where these snacks will come with any purchase of alcohol.

Have been in here a few times since an initial Yelp event and I have to say... it's fantastic. The service has been top notch each time, the food is amazing, and the decor/vibe is interesting. I've tried a couple varieties of ramen and the creamy chicken with some spicy oil is my favorite. The pork chashu is good, but the chicken is better IMO. That being said, for a place with ramen in the name...the "other" stuff is actually the best. The KC Bun (fried pork cutlets with KC sauce) is my favorite. 10/10, you've got a try one. You could honestly just get an order of two of them and call it a meal. The chicken karaage is also fantastic, but pro tip, make sure you get it with the KC sauce. And while there are a lot of Japanese drinks available, I typically just opt for water. You can also get some Japanese snacks and stuff when you walk in. The only bad thing about this place? It gets busy real quick and there can be a wait since it's a pretty small restaurant. That being said, it's worth said wait.

Such great food, and a wide variety of drink options. The line can get pretty long but staff are efficient and line moves quickly! During lunch you order at the register but during dinner hours your order is taken at the table. I'm sad that the broth can't be made GF, there is gluten free noodles but the ramen is not safe for Celiacs

The ramen was absolutely incredible! We kicked things off with the KC bun, which was incredibly fluffy and oh-so-delicious. I dove into the KC black ramen, and it was bursting with savory flavors. My husband couldn't get enough of the KC red ramen--it had just the right amount of kick that left us craving more! As soon as you step inside, you're greeted by a charming little store that adds to the ambiance. The staff were super friendly and clearly had their kitchen operation down to a fine art. they're always packed with diners and carry-out orders flying out! We will definitely be back!

The reviews for this place made me pop in but once I arrived in to order I was a bit disappointed. Customer service was meh, I felt very much rushed and pressured to order but there weren't many pescatarian options. Place is small and a bit pricey for certain things, nevertheless I left without ordering.

A stable ramen spot to hit whenever you're in KC. Really like the consistency of this place, not the best ramen I've had but its still good.

I love this place. First, don't get me started on the decor. Absolutely chefs kiss. This place is always absolutely packed, especially on the weekends. Join their waitlist to be seated promptly. People cycle in and out pretty quickly. Service is quick and food is delicious so you'll be in and out. Everything we've tried is amazing. Honorable mention to the creamy chicken (spicy and regular, but spicy is reallyyyy spicy) dumplings, and calamari. Private parking lot available.

I've now been here twice and both times were excellent. The KC Red ramen is spicy and tastes great. The KC Pepper Chicken came hot and fresh when it hit our table. Of note, the patio is presently being renovated, so the wait times are long for the dining room. Also, the only "gripe" I will say I have is the server asking if we want the check right after ordering. I get they want to flip tables, but I'd like to at least get my food before having the check handed over when I'm dining in. Otherwise all is great here.

Had a great take out experience with @kc_craft_ramen and @yelp. I was always planning on getting to go but also they were on a 30 minute wait on a Saturday 30 minutes after they opened! So plan accordingly and it is 100% with the wait. I got the spicy miso ramen as a to go. The noodles, pork, and all topping were in the top part of the container with the amazing broth underneath. . Everything stayed just as it needed to as I drove home. The flavors were great. The miso in the broth was different than other ramens I have had and it added a depth with the spice that was great. The homemade noodles were tender and soft perfect for the broth. We also got the curry pork. The curry sauce I could eat on anything. Service was great and the environment is welcoming.

I'm a newbie to Ramen, I had it once before and remember the broth being the star. I took a friend who loves Ramen and he truly enjoyed his bowl KC Red (spicy oil) in Tankotsu broth and I had KC Black (black garlic oil) in Chashu broth. As I look over the menu these 2 bowls have all with the same ingredients bean sprouts, seasoned egg, shredded green onions, seasoned Bamboo shoots and corn. My friend wasn't sure where the corn came from, he thinks maybe that's the Midwest reference? Each had a tender cuts of pork loin shoulder and the broth differences were that one was white and the other was dark. Tonkotsu: pork bones are boiled longer which makes the broth cloudy and fatty but full of rich porky flavor. Chashu: braising pork shoulder or pork belly in a flavorful combination of sake, soy sauce and sugar. The service was quick and she did a great job of guiding us through the menu. As you walk in there's a cooler if you wanted something to drink you grab and take with you. Once you order you also pay at that time. It was great experience.

Do you want to experience authentic Japanese food then you don't have to look any further than KC Craft Ramen. Walking in lot the establishment the ambiance is set as Japan seeing all of the anime action figure from so many different shows. Love seeing that you can grab different snacks that are traditional to Japan. Service was great after taking use to the table they took my order and I would say we didn't have to wait long for the food to be brought to my table. After grabbing my drink I was able to order the KC Black and the KC Bun. The appetizer KC buns were so good with the chicken and the sweet and fluffy bun they created with dish. The KC Black was so delicious the pork lion was tender with the season egg and noodles were cooked perfectly. The broth after eating the bowl felt like a second meal.
