Kizuki Ramen & Izakaya (Northgate)

The food here is delicious! I always love their potato croquettes and vegetable gyoza, but not a fan of their veggie ramen. My only issue is that I wish there were more veggie options for main dishes since there’s only one veggie ramen. However, I’m always surprised at how many vegetarian options they have for their Izakaya section. Always had great service here, very friendly staff that check in well 💛

Absolutely amazing experience!!! Food tastes amazing, servers are kind, they offer free clear unsalted broth if you want to balance the flavor of your broth, and a free lemonade or flavored tea for leaving a review! Prices also are not too expensive! Only thing is I wish they checked in on me once or twice more than they did. This is because I can be quiet shy and I did have to get a waiters attention because they were already busy with other work. Also, to be fair they did have almost a full house! All in all I would still rate them an absolute 9/10! I got the garlic tonkotsu shoyu ramen with spinach, roasted seaweed, fishcake, and pork belly added to the already topped ramen! This is coming from someone who sometimes can have sort of high standards. :)

For the category, convenience, taste and service, I would recommend if you are near Northgate. I’d say without question this is a solid place that is consistent with welcoming service and food quality. As in all reviews, subjectivity is in the eye of the writer but based on my travels, I’d say other than Japan or going upscale you can’t go wrong here.

Very good place. I don’t have ramen frequently enough but I found the dishes here very tasty. The soup was flavorful and I feel I got a pretty good portion for the price. The menu had several appetizing options and I look forward to trying more. The sides we picked up were quite good too. The service was nice and quick. I wasn’t very busy and we were able to get a table right away. There’s indoor and outdoor seating available. It made a good first impression and I look forward to going back.

We love this place! Garlic tonkatsu ramen is my favorite dish here. Servings of ramen are great and we don't usually need additional food. There is a kid a menu on a coloring page, booster seats, high chairs, and plastic utensils for kids. I would say they're child friendly! Not sure if they have a changing table, as we didn't need to use it.
