"I am in love with this place. You can tell everything is handmade. It is wonderful. The price is not bad either. The quantity and the quality of food is massive here. This is my second time visiting and it was absolutely wonderful. Ramen has a perfect broth and the noodles are made fresh right in front of you. The sauces are amazing. The service is the only thing I would say is iffy. But I will forever come here it's one of my favorites I love both ramens. The beef dumplings are better than pork IMO. Cucumbers are a must always. The bao is amazing. Green onion pancake was great and so were the spring rolls. Skip the beef roll. Always ask for the curry sauce."
"Came across Kaedama on IG and just HAD to try it cause of the name. I read reviews prior to coming so I knew it was a smaller joint, and the reviews definitely are correct. The restaurant is a cute, small little spot close to downtown El Paso. Parking is free if you can find a spot along the street in front of the restaurant. If not then there is street parking around the corner but you will have to pay, which was the case for us.Kaedama is a snug little restaurant, inside they have a decent amount of table. Unfortunately we came right when they opened so they were packed for lunch. Only option for seating was in their outdoor patio. Not too bad since the weather was a bit cooler than normal for El Paso.Our waiter was quick to get our drink and food order. He also came around a couple times to check on us so no complaints there.I ordered the pork buns for appetizer and the hot babe for ramen. My husband tried the thicc boi ramen, which I'm assuming is one of their popular items since I heard at least 2 other tables ordering it as well.The pork buns were good! They season the pork very well, the sauce is very soy sauce heavy and you can taste the sodium right off the bat. As for the ramen, I'd definitely try their tonkotsu next time. I should have read the menu better, then I would have realize the broth is a soy sauce broth. I usually prefer a more creamy broth. But that's on me for not reading better. Overall I'd say the hot babe is good though. I got level two spice and it was perfect! Not too spicy but not too mild either.I'd give this place a solid 4 stars. It is a bit cramped both inside and out. The pork buns and ramen definitely had a strong soy sauce punch to both. I love that the meat in both the buns and ramen were seasoned heavily. Gave a lot of flavor. Would definitely recommend Kaedama if you're looking for a ramen spot in El Paso!"
"I decided to take my sister out for an early dinner. We went in and were greeted with a bubbly hostess who sat us and asked what we wanted to drink and we both got some sweet tea. The place is quaint with murals painted on the walls. My sister ordered the two shrimp taco plate and I ordered the chicken flauta plate. After having some chips and hot salsa, we ate and enjoyed our meal. They were both quite tasty. My sister was overwhelmed with her meal. She couldn't stop talking about it and said it was the most authentic she's had in such a long time and gave it a 10 out of 10. I definitely recommend anyone that comes around Las Cruces NM. give this place a go. We'll definitely be back. I need to try these awesome margaritas I've heard so much about as well. Miguel was our server and he was polite and professional. We also met Raymond and he was a nice gentleman from the family owned restaurant."
"Excellent for lunch. Very nice staff and extremely clean. All food was fresh and healthy. Great experience"
"The food was absolutely delicious! Everything from the presentation of each plate to the taste of the food. The service was fast and good! The restaurant is a little bit small on the inside but definitely worth it! Definitely recommend trying this place!"
"Wonderful! Udon like home cooked. Sushi tasty and well presented. Server first day. Needs more training but hey he's working! Where are the servers? Will come back. Authentic japanese cuisine in a beautiful setting."
"Such little selection. For the price, I was expecting more. A salad bar at minimum but they don't even have that. What they did have was decent, but way overpriced for such a small selection of items. Won't be back."

Instantly feel you are in NYC. Great food with handmade dumplings & noodles. Don't expect over the top friendly service but food is solid. I like spicy beef soup and dumpling combo. Don't let the outside appearance scare you. Food is ligit.

It's been 2 years since my original review, we decided to go today and was very excited to have some Ramen, needless to say we found a long black hair in our Ramen and was absolutely disgusted! My son asked for them to remove the ramen from our ticket but by then we had both lost our appetite...the waitress did say she was sorry, unfortunate all the wait staff is very young and most of the female staff had long hair, they should be either wearing hair nets or putting their hair up..... The entire ticket should have been comped because we didn't even touch it after the hair incident! Omg!!!! So totally bummed - As we left the place they were have a nice day, like if nothing had ever happened....ugh...

***They do charge a 30% gratuity for tables 6 people and up, and they charge you a fee for paying with card***Great food & ambiance. Let's start with the food, every item that was ordered during my visit was absolutely delicious and served in pretty large portions. The Chile con Carne burrito plate smothered in green chile sauce is more than enough for two people and it's full of flavor, they don't go easy on the meat, cheese or sauce. The fajitas were also cooked perfectly and they were tender and flavorful. My husband got the combination plate and was satisfied with all the items he chose, and specially the chile relleno, you get to pick three items. The salsas they bring out are very good too, especially the green one. The Monster Margaritas are humongous and come in a variety of flavors, super refreshing and not packed with sugar. I recommend both the Cucumber Margarita, so refreshing and the Mango Margarita, slightly sweet and full of flavor. They do serve beer as well and they have Happy Hour Specials. The service was great, our waitress was attentive and friendly. Our food came out fairly quickly although the restaurant was packed. It's a popular place with the locals and for a good reason. The ambiance is lively and bright. The prices are $10 and up. It's not cheap, but it's worth a visit.

Loved this place! It was cute, clean, and quick! The food was delicious, I had the tomato, Mozzarella, spinach panini with basil aioli and it hit the spot! It was served with a fresh mixed green salad topped with carrots and cucumbers and a delicious sweet and spicy dressing. I also tried the Aloha smoothie who's was very yummy. My husband tried the chicken salad open-faced sandwich which he really loved and it also came with the same salad. He tried the sunrise smoothie which he also really enjoyed. And the price-point was very reasonable for the portion sizes as well as the locality of the restaurant. If you want something light that doesn't skimp on flavor, this is a great place to go! PS--also LOVED the bread. Appreciated that the default is a whole-wheat, whole-grain (delicious!) bread.

The food was delicious, great price extremely delicious in my tummy. The waiter was so sweet and she served us the best fajitas. I've had in a very long time. If you want authentic Mexican food, this is your place. If I'm ever back in the area, there's no doubt in my mind that I'll be visiting again thank you so much. This is amazing food in my tummy.

I love the variety of options it has and of course the fresh sushi rolls. It will definitely be my sushi place. I had the cucumber special, katsura unagi (the best), and a poke kind of bowl. Worth my $$$ and my time

Really enjoyed the food. Green beans was delicious! Lots of flavor. Mushrooms were also really good! Its a small buffet so not a whole lot of options. Also, I wish the food was warmer. It was kinda cold. Desserts were delicious especially the small strawberry shortcakes and flavored puddings. Almond cookies were also a hit! Small parking lot considering its a small place but it was really good even though the food wasn't hot. Keeping the food warmer would have made a big difference.

I've been here a few times, and it does seem to be a little bit more consistent in their quality and service now compared with when it was just opened.Because of the bad comments on the service, I have been really careful to order from here only when it's not during busy hour and only order ahead online. My husband and I normally go for Spicy Taco and Banh Mi Salad bowls with a few customization. When they do make the bowls correctly, they are yummy and filling. I only wish they have some more lighter choices for the dressings. What about some salsa verde?

"I've been to this location twice. The staff was quite rude when I went the first time. Also, my order wasn't ready when I went to pick it up. I ordered it online and requested a certain time for pickup. I had to wait an additional 20 minutes or so. That visit was when they first opened their westside location a few months ago. I believe it was during their first week of opening. That transaction would for sure be less than four stars. Fast forward to a few months later...I decided to try this Verde Salad location again. I didn't feel like going in so I ordered it for delivery through Uber Eats. A friend gave me a gift card for Uber Eats so I wanted to take advantage of it. I purchased two buffalo chicken bowls, tortilla soup and a cucumber lemonade with splenda. Their bowls are huge! There's enough for 2 or 3 servings. I enjoyed it. I asked them not to include onions and they didn't. I kind of don't like that they charge you $3.50 extra for the chicken/protein. If it's called a buffalo chicken bowl, shouldn't it be included? I'm not sure if that's only if you order on Uber Eats? They also charge extra for dressing, etc. Moving on...They have some really good and flavorful tortilla soup here. It's not that spicy but it's far from bland. It tastes really good with the avocado and sour cream that's included on the side. It's hard to say if I enjoyed the soup or salad more. I would totally get this soup again on a cold day or night...or whenever the mood strikes. Their cucumber lemonade is always tasty. It has the perfect amount of sweetness.I prefer the eastside location on Lee Trevino over this location. The food has been decent both times on the westside however...The staff has always been nicer at the Lee Trevino location. For some reason, the food also tastes fresher over there as well. The food isn't terrible at the west side location...it just tastes better at their Lee Trevino location. I'm not sure why. I'll for sure order from their eastside location again. I'm not sure about the westside at this time. I'll get back to you on that one."
"I've been here a few times and always enjoy the food. One time I made a take out order and when I got home, a meal was missing. One of the servers drove to my house and dropped it out. So I thought this was different but what you would expect from a restaurant. Too many places tell you to come back if they messed up.The food was always good so you can't miss. Definitely worth a try."
"The food was good and the ingredients tasted fresh. I am not a Spanish speaker so it was a little hard to navigate the menu since I am not familiar with authentic Mexican food. The waitress helped and provided good service. If you are expecting fajitas and tacos this isn't the restaurant for you. This is definitely a notch up on your average Mexican restaurant."
"Had a salad there every day for 63 days. It helped me loose 12lbs. The staff is great and very helpful. The place is clean and well organized. Salads are fresh and the smoothie is made perfectly."
"Delicious!If you don't like any of their pre-made ideas, may I suggest the random-guy-on-Yelp order (mine)!3 bases: Spring greens, cabbage, kale6 toppings: Cherry tomatoes, roasted red peppers, jicama, buffalo cauliflower, cucumbers, and goat cheese1 crunchy topping: WalnutsDressing: Balsamic vinaigretteProtein: Salmon (extra cost)I'd come in with sensitive travel tummy, so I handpicked my ingredients. The buffalo cauliflower was a dumb choice for acid indigestion! But the rest was fantastic--for both my tummy and my taste buds."
"We LOVED this place ! First of all, I liked that I could order entirely in Spanish..Maybe an illusion, but it gave us the feeling of authenticity ? And the food was just great. I had the Plato Mexicano, which seems like a typical offering in El Paso, and consists of one enchilada, one taco, one chile relleno, and rice & beans. My wife had the flauta plate, and she was equally pleased. It is very very easy to overlook Linda Michoacana becuase it is a small cafe within a strip mall, but honestly, it's worth going out of your way to try them. We loved it and we'll definitely be back !"
"Love this spot, delicious fresh made mexican food. Burritos are a good size, and delicious, I reccomend the arriero and the burrito de colorado with frijoles."
"Had the Thursday special and the Moo Goo Lo-Mein. We took the rest of the lo-mein home and there was enough for dinner for the 2 of us the next day. It was delicious. Will definitely be ordering it again very soon. The waitress was very attentive. Restaurant was clean."
