Kyoto Ramen

"The Black Garlic ramen is my favorite. The broth, pork slices, roasted garlic and soft egg are melt in your mouth fantastic ! Even the bamboo shoots have a beautiful texture and flavor. The place is plain but very clean inside. Owners seem very nice."

"I ordered the beef curry bowl with a medium spice level. I was not impressed at all. It was so plain. There were no vegetables like onion and potatoes that I'm used to having in my curry. It only had 2 slivers of carrots. So basically just beef and an inadequate amount of curry sauce. It also was not spicy at all. I won't be back."

"Always happy to find out that a place that looks like just another Ramen joint, is actually a first-class spot. I ordered the tone can't sue Rahman, extra spicy, and was absolutely happy with what I got. I kinda wish they served it in bowls other than plastic, but the flavor and texture overcame that, that Chashu, was done perfectly, and I like that I found a new spot that all my friends don't know about yet. Definitely recommend them. Also find it interesting that they had one other location, in Colorado of all places. Good stuff"

"We have only tried the ramen here (Tonkotsu and Black Garlic) and they were both lacking in flavor. The Chashu was tough to bite into. Maybe their other stuff is good, but I'm not ordering the ramen here again. EDIT- To respond to the comment of the owner to my original review. How did you know the "results" of my eating? Did you look into the trash and checked if I consumed the entire contents of my bowl? And if you did, you would have seen that I did NOT finish my ramen."

"I have been waiting for this place to open since I saw the sign go up back in 2019. I was going to wait until the the whole Covid lock down was over, so I could try it dine-in. But caved because I was here to buy groceries form Lucky. I order the standard tonkotsu ramen mild, and surprisingly it was really good even after the 20 mins it took me to get home. It's not the best ramen I have ever had (was like $25 ramen), but pretty good for the price point their selling at. It's easily better then the ramen you would get from other Japanese restaurants around the East Bay, even some from other "ramen" shops here in the East Bay. Again for the price point of ~$15 ramen this place is pretty good and the serving size is just right for me. When compared to other ramen specialty shops like Shiba Ramen (overall good, little pricier then here) or Yuzu Ramen (good bone broth but serving size too small for their prices) in Emeryville, I would personally prefer this place for overall flavor, price and serving size."
