"One of many great ramen spots in the Twin Cities, Ramen Kazama stands out for its veggie curry ramen option that’s vegan by default — a delightful meatless ramen option. You know it’s serious when takeout isn’t allowed." - Cinnamon Janzer
"Since its opening in 2015, this ramen-dedicated restaurant has been so popular that owner Matthew Kazama opened a second location in the Como neighborhood in 2017. Ramen Kazama’s tonkotsu ramen features one of the most decadent pork-bone broths in the Twin Cities — it has all the signature silkiness that comes from slow-cooking marrow-rich bones. Succulent pork belly, lacy black wood ear mushrooms, bamboo shoots, green onion, and a marinated egg top off this beautiful bowl." - Justine Jones
"A restaurant focusing on burgers made with a Japanese-style meat blend, chicken and tonkatsu sandos, and shiso-dusted fries. Sake is served by the glass and the bottle." - Justine Jones
"Settle in to Ramen Kazama for a bowl of tonkotsu ramen crowned with tender bamboo shoots, mushrooms, and a cut of fatty pork belly. Chef Matthew Kazama’s space has a small bar and a number of booths designed for uninterrupted slurping." - Justine Jones
"One of many great ramen spots in the Twin Cities, Ramen Kazama’s tori shio bowl is a chicken soup on steroids designed to nourish the soul and ease whatever ailment is on its way — especially when some chili oil is added." - Ali Elabbady
