OK going into this I was super hyped. Unlimited ramen, amazing desserts, etc. I ordered the ramen and temaki (hand roll) (tried the fried rice) and tbh both were mid. My standards aren’t that high so I’ll explain exactly what made it mid. The ramen was SO OILY, both the chashu and the broth, lacked flavor. Not worth the calories imo. Moving onto the temaki, (hand roll) the rice was sour and overpowered the taste of the salmon. I’ve had sushi rice before but it was never this sour. The salmon itself was flavorless imo and y... read more
I haven't yet had the opportunity to try every restaurant in the Kei Concepts family, but Kin Craft Ramen & Izakaya is my fave so far. We visited on a Saturday evening around the dinner hour and the place was poppin'! We were fortunate not to have to wait for a table given the restaurant's popularity. The dinner menu offers everything from small plates, raw dishes including sashimi, ramen, udon, rice dishes, izakaya, beverages and desserts. We wanted to try everything so we ordered the Guava Calpico and a few izakaya to sta... read more
Waited an hour for a table of 6. Outside waiting area had one propane heater that went out after 15 minutes. Waitress was nice professional. Ramen was okay overall, noodles was cooked perfectly. Yakitori skewers menu was shorten, disappointed. Salmon sashimi was fresh. Hot sake was cheap quality. Ordering with a single form for a group was a bad design to self serve in a crowded noisy place. Sesame coconut ice cream was nice.
IG/TT @waitfoodfirst Kin izakaya in fountain valley is now doing happy hour Sunday to Thursday from 8-10pm. All of their food is top quality and nothing is under $12. I really liked their crispy chicken karaage and they’ve definitely got you when those late night ramen cravings hit!
Came a little after 8pm on a Wednesday and they were quite busy! A little hard to get the staff’s attention, but once the order was in, the food came out at a steady pace - I was actually surprised to see the calamari out in ~5 mins and the slowest dishes were the crudos. Happy Hour Specials: - Calamari - a bit oily - Tom Kha Chasu Ramen - nice sweet and sour broth, noodles were al dente - Hokkaido Scallop Crudo - pretty refreshing especially paired with the yuzu sauce - Truffle Salmon Crudo - the truffle was a bit subtle f... read more
