Kiki on Ludlow

Great shio ramen and kaarage. The ramen is full of flavor but not too heavy and the kaarage is very krispy and goes well with the house mayo. Prices are reasonable and they validate parking in the lot next to them for 1.5 hours.

Super cute ramen shop! Clean, very open, walked right in and were served quickly for lunch. Handrolls were a fun appetizer, kimchi ramen was a perfect lunch portion and delicious! Will definitely be back for dinner.

Amazing food, amazing service! I went to their old location and am so happy they moved to Clifton! The vegetarian and vegan options are great, especially the cauliflower and the ramen! The service was also incredible! They don’t have their liquor license yet so no alcohol. We had a great time - definitely would recommend making a reservation.

This new* Kiki in Gaslight Clifton is located near me. I had a great poke bowl for lunch, but the full dinner menu has a lot more delicious options. Service was excellent and my food came out fast. It seats a few dozen. I can easily see myself becoming a regular here. *Opened Summer 2025

Update: On my second visit, even though we had a reservation, we were given a table at the very end, in a poorly lit corner next to the restrooms, while almost every other table was available. I didn’t like it and asked for a different table. The host explained it was for optimizing space and said switching wasn’t possible. We arrived right when the restaurant opened, and I was with friends who came because of my recommendation. To be honest, I don’t care about optimization, nobody wants to sit in a corner when there are better tables available. I requested a different table from our server, and she was able to move us a little further down, but we were still far from the crowd. It made us feel like outcasts, lol. It really killed the vibe for us. The food and service were good. ---- Tried the chicken karaage, Wagyu skewers, pork bao buns, and the mango cheesecake. Everything was delicious. Our server was nice and helpful. We'll be back to try more dishes.

We love Kiki! We’ve been going since the College Hill spot, and they’ve definitely stepped up in terms of quality and service at the new location. Juliette and the rest of the team was amazing. They’re byob at the moment, so bring a bottle of sake and enjoy the top notch ramen and sushi they’re offering!

Had the lunch salmon poke and pork belly ramen. Both were good. The green tea was minty and not very good. Otherwise a good experience.

All of the food is really delicious! We love the ramen, skewers, and the special sushi. So glad Kiki is back open! We really missed them during the move. This new location is nice because there is a free parking lot!
