    It was just the best. I don’t even know what to say. The Ramen was incredible. The salmon truffle Crudo is incredible. That truffle oil was to die for. Also, the beef tongue was good. You know it was. It was probably the least good thing out of all the things, but it was still really good not saying something that was one of the best Ramen I’ve ever had but Ramen is one of the best Ramen ever had just you know incredible woman.

    Very clean, and friendly staff. Our server was super attentive to our needs and checking in enough for us to feel taken care of but not to feel overwhelmed. Lunch options are limited but I prefer that over an overcrowded menu.

    The food is always good, but recent menu updates (bringing items from their old Irvine location over) brought us in, and it was wonderful! The service, however, was EXCEPTIONAL!! I wish I had written down our server’s name, but she was so attentive and kind, she made the experience outstanding.

    The food was outstanding. The only problem was that they delivered all of the food ordered at once instead of spacing it out. Ended up with a cluttered table of dishes. Will order more slowly next time. Will definitely come back.

    Food was amazing this was our third or fourth time coming here. Love the ramen soup, very flavorful. But little on the pricey side. You pay for what you get.

    We enjoyed our first visit to Kin Craft Ramen and Izakaya. The staff was attentive and friendly. Our server Ahn, I believe, knew we would want paper menus instead of the QR code. There was great variety in skewers and add ins for ramen, and everything was seasoned well. We were quite sated with the amount of food we ordered and it was all very reasonably priced. It was a nice change for Christmas eve dinner.

    6 of us met at Kin Craft. On a Monday it was easy to get a reservation. Feeling of new and modern. Very varied Asian Fusion menu. Interesting cocktails. Delicious food. All-in about $50/head for lots of food. We will be going back.
