Really good ambiance at Kizuki Ramen & Izakaya!
I had the Yuzu Shio Ramen (substituted tofu for pork) and Vegetarian Ramen, with sides of Gyoza and Vegetable Harumaki. Out of all four, the Vegetable Harumaki was definitely the standout — super delicious!
The Yuzu Shio Ramen was excellent as always, with a nice yuzu flavor. The broth was slightly less salty than expected, but a little shoyu fixed it perfectly. My only complaint was the tofu — it was just plain and bland, simply cut and placed on top without any seasoning or pan-frying.
The Vegetarian Ramen was decent and slightly above average — the only odd thing was it had noticeably less soup than usual, but otherwise tasted good.
The Gyoza, unfortunately, was disappointing — $8 for 5 small pieces (with one broken) wasn’t worth it. The taste was just okay; honestly, frozen ones from Trader Joe’s have been much better.
One odd thing, maybe it was a mistake or maybe they do with regularly but before I finished my ramen they came to table with payment machine asking to pay, I had to tell her to let me finish first but it was super weird as there were only 2 tables full rest all empty so what’s the rush that took during lunch time.
All four dishes with tip came to about $60, which wasn’t bad at all for the overall experience.
Would definitely come back for the ramen and atmosphere, but might skip the gyoza next time
