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!

Visiting El Paso and wanted to try this place out. Boy oh boy they did not disappoint! This is by far one of the best Ramen spots I've ever had. They had double portions of the meat, green onions, and even came with three additional Gyoza. The broth was very flavorful and came out nice and hot. I asked for garlic chili oil on the side which kicked the flavor up a notch. The inside is very small, but they do offer outside seating that is covered and shaded. All of the servers are extremely friendly, and the food came out fast. I might move to El Paso just to go to this place more often.

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...

AMAZING, this ramen had me so full there was so much flavor and deliciousness in that food, the waitresses were so nice and amazing very attentive glasses never went empty! We were outside but the establishment itself but it is a small place, one thing tho is idk why people were complaining about the flies outside.... You're outside you're in the elements it's gonna happen lol but regardless would definitely come back here! Had a wonderful date with my husband

I was very excited for this spot based on reviews and the wait line. But was very disappointed at the food itself . Appetizers were the best thing on the menu by far !!! I ordered the miso babe Spicy but couldn't finish even half . Food was drenched in salt and I couldn't finish it . Atmosphere was nice but overall a place to go for experience not food for me .

Had the hot babe with the pork gyoza as an appetizer and finished with a strawberry and green tea mochi, Hot babe with pork broth with a spice level of 4 got the job done and had me basking in the glory days of my beer belly, pork gyoza had a subtle chewyness finished with pork on the inside was an abdominal delicacy. service had me in a chokehold but I managed to almost finish my food. Perfect place to take a person to on a first date.

This place is fine in a pinch. I definitely would not come here for anything authentic. I've been here 2-3 times and I keep coming back because I want to give it another chance but it's not really up to par with actual Asian/fusion food. The restaurant is quite small but the decor is appealing. Not a lot of food for the price you pay either. Service was average. I'd go somewhere else if you're looking for a good night of food.

This is the BEST place to get your ramen at! Absolutely amazing! It was first time here and I loved it. Place was clean snd the servers were nice! Don't even get me started on the food...100/100!!!! They even offer to give you free noodles on the house once you have finished with your bowl! Amazing!!! Definitely coming here again.
