This place was in a busy area but we got seated right away on a Saturday night. Ramen was ok, fried rice was decent but salty. Our server, Jasmine, was nice and attentive. The marinated eggs in the ramen was the best part. Otherwise, just kinda bland and not the best.

Chicken curry sounds weird, but it’s so good! Typical Japanese curry base with a chicken katsu (fried chicken cutlet) is the best!

This place was so tasty. I am definitely eating here again. I had the vegetable ramen, crab buns, and tiramisu. Amazing!

The Goyu bowl was delicious! I added shrimp, cabbage, and spinach to mine and it took to the next level. 10/10 would definitely recommend!

Overall, the experience was average. The food did need more flavor. I ordered:1. Gyoza - these had more of a fried crunchy texture than steamed and then seared. I prefer the latter. I also feel like the meat was missing some fresh ingredients to lighten the flavor profile. (3/5 ?)2. Tonkotsu black - the broth should have been thicker for tonkotsu style. I also think it was missing the robust flavor profile I am accustomed to. (3.5/5 ?)The server had the demeanor of not wanting to be there and that they don't particularly enjoy their job. Other than that, they did complete all of the basic tasks expected of a server.

I have been wanting to try them for the longest time and today I finally had a chance to and it was kind of a disappointment. The pork steam buns tasted like a mayonnaise sandwich so much so that I couldn't taste the pork at all. I moved on to the Slurp Cilantro with mushrooms added. The chicken had absolutely no flavor and I couldn't get the chile oil to make much of a difference. The broth was mid at best. Can't say I will return, but I will be looking at other Ramen spots to compare.

Ordered the Tonkotsu Black ramen to go. Lady at the counter I ordered with was short and once my order was ready she handed it to me so fast it swung in the air. The ramen was very bland imo (I am used to good flavorful ramen). You can add in extra items for a small price. The egg roll was good and they provided a sauce to go with it that was delicious. The ambiance was really nice, quiet with alot of booth space. I'd still come back to dine in and probably add more items to my ramen as well as any sauces they provide.

Traveled to Memphis and ordered carry out. Hostess was friendly and personable. The food was well packaged and tasted great (spicy chicken ramen and appetizers). Will order next time in town.

Overall: comparing to all the ramen ive tasted in NYC this would be the average. Nothing crazy nothing bad. I dont know how the other ramen places are in Memphis. However this place gives a big portion of noodles. For 13.95 on ramen this is a steal compared to the 17$ ramen in NYC. Service: she was so quick and attentive it was great! Inside: lots of seating available on a Thursday night. Had a group of 6 and sat instantly. Food: had the edamame, needed some salt. The chicken karrage was good but need to be double fried as the fried layer was a little thin but the taste was perfect. As for the ramen, all of us needed to add the chili oil or some salt as the broth was not as seasoned as we'd hoped. For the noodles the portion was huge. Usually need to kaedama but this was perfect!

I had a taste for a bowl and Yelped places that were close to me at the time and Kami Ramen Bar came up. I stopped in and was sat and served quickly. I started out with the Kami House Salad. It came with lettuce, cabbage, and carrots with the Kami special dressing. It was good. I also had the Spicy Shrimp Ramen Shrimp and pork broth, marinated egg, nori, bamboo shoot, kikurage, and grilled shrimp. My spice level was regular hot. The price point is good. I went in for lunch. I will say the environment is very casual and calm. I enjoyed.
