Kiwami Ramen and Sushi

Today I ate with my daughter and friend and we ordered the vegetarian ramen, two of their house special ramens, edemame, gyoza, DJ Roll and Philadelphia roll. I want to say something positive first; our waitress Majika was so kind and patient. It was our first time eating there and she went over the menu, made recommendations and provided great service. Unfortunately, Majika's great service could not supplement the taste of the food and the owner/managers awful attitude. I will not act like a food critic, but ramen is one of our favorite dishes and this was by far the worst tasting ramen I have ever had. It was comparable to boiled pork water. The flavor did not go beyond that description. Because of this we all sent our ramen back and the manager said he would only refund one. We tried to have a conversation with Him about why he wouldn't be willing to refund the ramen, and he said because he felt we were trying to get over and it hurt his feelings that we sent it back when he feels he makes the best ramen in Tampa.This discussion went back and forth until he agreed to refund and asked us never to return. The problem isn't that he wouldn't refund the food items, it's that he assumed the worst because his feelings were hurt. We are customers and liking the food is the bare minimum requirement, but to come to our table with a terrible attitude because of a bruised ego was awful business practice and whether he banned us or not, we never planned on returning

Ramen was great! The broth was very rich and noodles are perfect chewy yet not too soft.

Cute little hole in the wall spot near my house, so I thought I would check it out. The ambiance is very homey and comfortable, and the servers were nice and attentive! We got three rolls to share and they all were good, although I wasn't a huge fan of the sushi with the lime on it. It was very citrusy and just not really my speed. The volcano roll was good, but I felt like the cream cheese overpowered the taste of the fish. Not sure if I would come back for the sushi, but definitely want to try the ramen, since that is what I think they are best known for.

First time here with my mom and it's great! We got Pork Steamed Buns, Gyoza, Tonkotsu Ramen, and Karage Chicken Rice Bowl!Everything was very delish! Service was top notch and our server was on top of it! Very chill and laid back spot! Would def recommend and will be coming again!

thank you for no MsG but why do you use italian pasta instead of ramen? i guess that works too but not at $15 a pop. Service was superb and the place was quiet.

Me and my husband used to come here all the time when we used to live in Gibsonton. We tried it again recently, and we were pleasantly surprised to still have the same quality.Their Ramen bowls are great, and are large portions. They have a lot of options to customize each bowl, making each one your own experience.The sushi is also very fresh.Depending on what direction you come from it is sometimes difficult to find, but it's in a strip plaza towards the end. Plenty of parking, but this is a busy hotspot so there is a lot of times a wait.

I'm really picky when it comes to both ramen and sushi. But, yeah, I'm definitely a fan of both here.Don't forget to take advantage of the bubble tea delivery service from OneZo next door. It makes the meal feel super fancy, almost like Taiwan.The ramen at Kiwami is the largest portion in Tampa Bay. I've had ramen from Fukuoka all the way to Hokkaido and this ramen is just as tasty. Wish there were more noodle options for how many broth options. But, what do I know.The rolls here are US style, portions are large, and cost is a few dollars lower than most sushi restaurants.This could definitely be a regular spot for me.

Really good food, nice place love coming here. I try something different every time I come and haven't been disappointed yet

Very, very good. We went on the get one appetizer free with a bowl of ramen night. Perfect portions-- enough for the next day. Next time I will add/request more seasoning or kick for my ramen though. Just a little bland for my liking but it does say on the menu to request if you want more flavor as they do not have MSG in their ramen which was a huge selling point. The tempura veggies were delicious and my grandson devoured the chicken Karage. Service was good too. Very laid back casual place lower lit and nice for a date night or family dinner. Seats aren't cushioned just for awareness. The sake was very good too and specials on that as well, BOGO.

Sushi was delicious,ambiance was a homey feel,our service was top notch. I unfortunately forgot to get pictures before we ate because I was just enjoying my surroundings. I'll definitely be back and will have a better review.
