KC Craft Ramen

I've now been here twice and both times were excellent. The KC Red ramen is spicy and tastes great. The KC Pepper Chicken came hot and fresh when it hit our table.Of note, the patio is presently being renovated, so the wait times are long for the dining room. Also, the only "gripe" I will say I have is the server asking if we want the check right after ordering. I get they want to flip tables, but I'd like to at least get my food before having the check handed over when I'm dining in. Otherwise all is great here.

Location: Overland Park, Kansas city KSAmbiance: Family oriented. It is nice for a date too but it is usually crowded Food: i don't hesitate to say that it should be the best Ramen from Kansas city Metro.Ingredients feel fresh. Broth is delicious. I got the spicy chicken ramen and it was truly spicy. I just loved it. Noodles were perfectly cooked.Service: It is excellent. They are on top of you since the turnover is fast.Yelp factor: Best Ramen of Kansas city metro. Prove me wrong!!!!

My first experience with this place was amazing. My friends and I were greeted at the door by who I assumed to be the owner who explained that they had flown a chef out from Kanagawa Japan to make their ramen for the day.After hearing that, I was ready for a phenomenal experience- and KC Craft Ramen made sure to deliver one. The ramen I had there was fantastic. The broth was one of the best I have ever tried in my life. Besides the food the service there was wonderful. The whole staff was smiling and very lively. They greeted everyone with a hello when they walked in the door! Everyone there was also very eager to answer any questions. On top of everything the chef that had made the ramen came out to talk with us, and everyone else in the restaurant! They also have a mini shop in front for keychains, stickers, food, ect.Service was quick and the ambiance was lovely! I was completely blown away. I will be coming back.

I have to agree with the rest of Kansas City and say that KC Craft Ramen is indeed the best in town. I STILL haven't had a chance to dine in yet, but it's on my to-do list for 2025 for sure. We did doordash, which I know is not the best way to enjoy ramen, but I was probably two weeks postpartum, exhausted, and really craving a soft boiled egg, which I wasn't able to eat while pregnant, so when I saw that you could get KC Craft Ramen delivered I jumped at the chance to finally give this place a go. As far as delivery goes it's a slam dunk here for ramen. They take the care to package everything separate so that nothing gets too soggy, and you can easily assemble it in your own home. On a chilly November night this was the best thing to treat ourselves to and I am already thinking about our next visit. I'm immensely grateful that KC finally has a solid ramen spot as I didn't realize how spoiled I was when I lived in Seattle and I've been on the hunt for something that came close to what I experienced there. KC Craft Ramen is the closest you're going to get to west coast ramen in KC and lucky for me it's not too far away.

Ramen on a cold winter day, what could be better? My partner and I ventured down to OP to try out this burgeoning hit and it did not disappoint.Tried to do a reservation but they don't take them here, they do have a wait-list on their website which seemed to work really well including giving you a time table of when you're up for a table.Walking in I was impressed with the livelihood of the place the staff are regularly yelling something in unison, no idea what that's about lol but pretty cool. The service is really great, such hospitable servers that take extra time to talk with you and make you feel right at home.I got the KC Black ramen which was really good, nothing too flashy honestly, just really rich and tasty broth with some standard components and black garlic. My partner had the KC Red ramen and that one has more of a spicy kick which was really incredible, highly recommend if you like a bit of spice and heat. I will say the chasu pork shoulder leaves a little to be desired. The bao buns were phenomenal and maybe my favorite part of our meal was the fried pork was just so mouth watering delicious! Overall the experience was pretty great, the atmosphere is a bit chaotic at what seemed to be peak dinner rush. Just lots of tables and servers moving around going above and beyond. I would definitely come back and try some other items on the menu that I've heard are great

We had a great dinner here and had no problem making reservations and getting in on a weekend. We ordered way too much food-generous portions. Since it was our first time, we got two starters and tried the Ramen. They were very accommodating to my hubby's corn allergy and made sure to leave it out. We had forgotten to mention that when we ordered, and they quickly met our needs. The Goyza and the bao buns were terrific! The Ramen was pretty good. It's not the best I've ever had, but I would return based on the service, ambiance, and the rest of the menu.

Have been in here a few times since an initial Yelp event and I have to say... it's fantastic. The service has been top notch each time, the food is amazing, and the decor/vibe is interesting. I've tried a couple varieties of ramen and the creamy chicken with some spicy oil is my favorite. The pork chashu is good, but the chicken is better IMO. That being said, for a place with ramen in the name...the "other" stuff is actually the best. The KC Bun (fried pork cutlets with KC sauce) is my favorite. 10/10, you've got a try one. You could honestly just get an order of two of them and call it a meal. The chicken karaage is also fantastic, but pro tip, make sure you get it with the KC sauce. And while there are a lot of Japanese drinks available, I typically just opt for water. You can also get some Japanese snacks and stuff when you walk in. The only bad thing about this place? It gets busy real quick and there can be a wait since it's a pretty small restaurant. That being said, it's worth said wait.

I really like the atmosphere, staff, and snack line. I think the ramen is pretty good but not my favorite. They don't use traditional curlyish noodles they use straight skinny noodles (trucker style if you've ever eaten at a truck stop in Japan).

Lovely ramen joint with extremely fast service! Added a party of 8 to their waitlist and only had to wait about 15 minutes to be seated. We picked our drinks along the left wall where you walk in, and the hostess was able to take our order at the stand while we waited for our table. We also had the option of being seated before ordering, but we were hunnnnggrrryyy as this place was 35 minutes away from where we were staying. Our apps came as soon as we sat down! The pork gyoza that we ordered was pan fried and juicy theory the ramen, my husband got the KC Red (spicy oil) and I got the KC Black (black garlic). My husband got an extra serving of noodles as he said he was starving, but when the ramen came out, he realized he made a mistake because the portion sizes were very generous!My husband liked the KC Red, but said the KC Black had more depth in flavor and richness, and I agreed. We also got some free servings of bar snacks as they are currently running a special, where these snacks will come with any purchase of alcohol.

I must say, it was a great experience from start to finish. The decor was nicely done, blending traditional Japanese elements with a modern twist, creating a cozy yet vibrant atmosphere. The cleanliness of the establishment was also impressive, making it a comfortable place to enjoy a meal.Now, onto the food--oh, the food! I ordered the KC Black ramen, and it was nothing short of extraordinary. The rich, flavorful broth was perfectly balanced, with just the right amount of depth and umami. Each bite was a delight, and the noodles had that perfect chewiness that every ramen lover craves. Topped with fresh ingredients and expertly cooked pork, the KC Black truly exceeded my expectations. The service was another standout aspect of my visit. The staff was attentive and friendly, ensuring that my water glass was never empty and checking in at just the right moments. The speed of service was impressive, with my order arriving quickly without feeling rushed.Overall, KC Craft Ramen is a gem that I highly recommend to anyone craving delicious ramen in a fantastic setting. I left the restaurant feeling satisfied and eager to return to try more of their offerings. Whether you're a ramen aficionado or a newcomer to the cuisine, this place is definitely worth a visit!
