The ramen was good, different from others around the city! The ladies working were really helpful and attentive as for it was our first time here, even brought out some Endame for us to have, much appreciated! We will be back to try other dishes.

Fact Speaker

On the side of this building where this restaurant is located, there is a writing on the wall that says “support local”. So true! I encourage anyone to seek out local businesses and Kimura is one of those places that deserve a chance for your time & money. Contrast to the outside, the inside decor resembles traditional Japanese ramen shops. The ambience is on point and the food is equally fantastic. From popular Tonkotsu ramen to Rice Bowls, every option is delicious and a must try. This restart is the perfect place to dine in groups. The only negative critique is the parking. There is a small parking lot next to the restaurant, so if you get there during rush hour you may have to park somewhere else. Despite that, I found no other flaws when I dined there.

The only place I trust for ramen. Kimura has never disappointed me with anything. I always order the Tonkotsu with chicken with a side of chili and it’s always a wonderful experience. Great staff and customer service as well. Recommend for dinner

Kimura Ramen Absolutely loved this place! The service was amazing — everyone was so friendly and welcoming. The atmosphere is cozy and the food is delicious. Huge thanks to Amber and Leelah for making the experience even better! I’ll definitely be coming back. 🍜💛

Restaurant came recommended by a friend and it didn't disappoint. We liked the charred and spicy damage and the drink options with some unique twists, like the shishito margarita. Bella was nice in taking our order and getting us started. This was a 10 mile drive for us but we will be back because it was worth the drive.

The food was amazing but as far as service goes this place isn't the type where you necessarily get waited on in the sense you get your own tea and refills plates silverware and napkins i will definitely be going back I will say parking is little to none

As good as always. This place has the best ramen in town. The place is always clean. The music is chill. The service is nice. And the food most importantly tastes like someone cares.

Food was amazing, ordered a Katsudon Donburi with the spicy house sauce and was not disappointed. Service was a little slow, but nothing too egregious. Atmosphere was also great and any anime fan will feel right at home. All in all, would recommend 9/10.

Annie Oof

Staff were super friendly and helpful. Food was pretty good but I gave it a 4 because I thought that some toppings were a bit odd, such as radish shavings, compared to what I typically see on ramen. I also thought only half an egg was kinda silly but it was yummy! We got the fried chicken and it was super spicy. Flavor was good but I’m a baby when it comes to spice but my boyfriend loved it. I got the tonkatsu and it feels just like a comfort food. The atmosphere was very relaxing and quiet. Definitely willing to go again and try some different options such as appetizers and drinks, and another bowl of ramen.

Lisa

First time here. It was good. I would say the food was good nothing that I would go crazy over. Things happened but the waitresses were amazing at fixing and helping to make it up. Great customer service! The drinks were really good, try the old fashion. The appetizers were good too. I enjoyed these better than the main meal. I got the pork bowl. Appetizers were pork dumplings & chicken skewers.

I usually have good things to say about this place, but last night I took my fiance for the 1st time. We ordered the Tantanmen and some of the fried chicken bites they have. I can not pronounce the name. The broth tasted watered down and my chicken bites were horrible. They were burnt so we did not eat them. I order the same thing every time I visit which is quite often so I know what the food usually taste like. I called the restaurant to inform them and the girl that answered (not putting her name) said oh sorry thank you for letting us know. The proper response should have been let me replace your chicken. One of the pictures I am posting you can barely see the chicken but you know it's not burnt like the other picture. Very disappointed.

All the food and post order service it terrific, but this is the 2nd time in a row the same cashier messed up our order bad, last time we were charged for the wrong extra on multiple dishes and thi…

My experience with Kimura Ramen started off strong, and in the beginning, the restaurant truly felt exceptional. Unfortunately, over time, the quality of my visits has declined significantly. On at least three separate occasions, both my partner and I were served undercooked chicken. This was extremely off‑putting, especially for a restaurant that prides itself on quality and service. With over seven years of experience in the hospitality and restaurant industry, I can’t help but notice the lack of management presence during service. I rarely see a manager supporting the flow of the restaurant, and it shows. The current system, where staff seem to juggle taking orders, running food, and making drinks simultaneously, does not function well. A more structured approach with designated roles could greatly improve efficiency and guest experience. The most disappointing moment came during our last visit, when we were asked to leave because the restaurant was “too busy.” This is not good business practice, and it left a lasting negative impression. A manager’s involvement could have prevented the situation entirely. Sadly, after multiple issues with food safety, inconsistent service, and poor management oversight, my family and I will not be returning. I hope the restaurant takes steps to address these concerns, as the potential for a great dining experience was clearly there in the beginning.

This is a review from someone born and raised in Yokohama. The raamen wasn't bad it certainly wasn't the best for the price. I get that being in Texas and before here in CA $5 noodle is hard to find if not impossible. However Texas treats raamen as this near luxury food with Kimura being no exception. The cocktail menu looked good but no unadon was kind of saddening. The raamen was good, comforting and nice and warm. They only served half an egg that wasn't marinated and replaced iconic bean sprouts and bamboo shoots in accustomed to for shredded dakon. Interesting. Despite the odd looks from some of the customers at my loud slurping. The service was minimal which is by design. The atmosphere wasn't bad it's a mix of a family restaurant and an izakaya which is interesting I always find. They're $10 donburi isn't bad. Though comparing that to a near $20 tonkotsu is interesting. I think a humble noodle bowl of soy glazed spam for $5 and a pot of tea would bring menu variety try something new that's still comforting or so I think. Would I come back here again? Well would you pay 17$ for comfort food you can just make at home?

Disappointed the last time we went. Unfortunately they changed the way they make their katsu curry and it was not good. I'm not sure if they stopped using panko or what but the breading on our pork cutlet was awful compared to last time we came here. Won't be coming back for curry :( I wonder if they changed their recipe to cheap out or if they were just too busy and the quality dropped off. It's so sad because I loved their curry last time! For the price I expected better (like what we got last time) considering a bowl was about $17 without tax or tip iirc. Big portions but it doesn't matter when it's not very good.

This place looks very promising as you walk in. The restaurant itself is very nice, although the parking isn't great. I got the gyoza and katsudon and neither were very good. The gyoza was very greasy and the dipping sauce wasn't great. My katsu was very soggy. There was a lot of breading that was mushy and soaked through. The food overall was just bland, unfortunately.

Great ambiance, terrible food. I have mixed feelings about Kimura. On one hand, the building itself is absolutely stunning—old modern, rustic warehouse style, and well-designed. It’s one of those places you walk into and immediately feel like you’re in a trendy hotspot. Unfortunately, that’s where the positives end. The food was a huge disappointment. I came in with zero expectations, and the meal was nothing short of awful. The gyoza dishes we ordered were soggy, ramen over-seasoned, and very difficult to eat. The textures were off, and nothing felt fresh or flavorful. The service was excellent, and we really appreciated that. It was the highlight of our experience at Kumura and made our time there worthwhile.

I hope it was just an off day… But I’m not going to come back to find out. Let me start with - I was starving! And I don’t know about yall, but normally food when I’m that hungry is amazing. However, we did not experience the same things as many others have in this review section. The only flavor we tasted in the miso, chicken broth, tantanmen, and tonkotsu broths was SALT. It was extremely salty, flavor was lacking.. The miso broth looked just like the chicken broth.. Only reason I think there may have been a bit of miso is because I saw miso paste on the edge of the bowl.. I’ll share the miso and chicken broth and you can take a stab at guessing which is which. I bet if I added the tantanmen broth in it, you wouldn’t be able to distinguish the three. Another issue was as we placed our order, the cashier addressed everyone in line and said they’ll be on a waitlist and they can have a seat while they waited if they wanted. Which wouldn’t have been an issue, but now they’re occupying seats, no food ordered, just waiting. Which left us to wait for a seat even though we had already ordered.
