Kiki on Ludlow

Great shio ramen and kaarage. The ramen is full of flavor but not too heavy and the kaarage is very krispy and goes well with the house mayo. Prices are reasonable and they validate parking in the lot next to them for 1.5 hours.

Super cute ramen shop! Clean, very open, walked right in and were served quickly for lunch. Handrolls were a fun appetizer, kimchi ramen was a perfect lunch portion and delicious! Will definitely be back for dinner.

Amazing food, amazing service! I went to their old location and am so happy they moved to Clifton! The vegetarian and vegan options are great, especially the cauliflower and the ramen! The service was also incredible! They don’t have their liquor license yet so no alcohol. We had a great time - definitely would recommend making a reservation.

Had the lunch salmon poke and pork belly ramen. Both were good. The green tea was minty and not very good. Otherwise a good experience.

Update: On my second visit, even though we had a reservation, we were given a table at the very end, in a poorly lit corner next to the restrooms, while almost every other table was available. I didn’t like it and asked for a different table. The host explained it was for optimizing space and said switching wasn’t possible. We arrived right when the restaurant opened, and I was with friends who came because of my recommendation. To be honest, I don’t care about optimization, nobody wants to sit in a corner when there are better tables available. I requested a different table from our server, and she was able to move us a little further down, but we were still far from the crowd. It made us feel like outcasts, lol. It really killed the vibe for us. The food and service were good. ---- Tried the chicken karaage, Wagyu skewers, pork bao buns, and the mango cheesecake. Everything was delicious. Our server was nice and helpful. We'll be back to try more dishes.

This place is great. I ate here a few months ago with my girlfriend and had a great meal. The server was knowledgeable of the menu. The food was great quality, ramen could be a bit bigger though. Room was a bit smoky, hood maybe? Not perfect, but would reccomend to anyone, l be back.

If your family enjoys Japanese fare, then drop what you are doing and take them to Kiki on Ludlow. The food is delicious and good value for the money. The service is prompt and courteous. You can order all at once or order as you go until your tummy is full. As an added bonus the restaurant validates your parking for the lot next to the building. Pro tip: reserve your spot ahead of time for dinner. Word has traveled about Kiki. Otherwise, plan to wait for a table.
