Kaedama

We are Southern Californians and had been on a cross-country roadtrip for almost 3 weeks. El Paso was one of our last stops on the way and we searched for Guy Fieri's visited restaurant list and found Kaemada. We had wonderful meals of BBQ, Southern, American and Mexican food but we started to miss our Ramen meals back home. This place was great. Ot had a youthful, edgy vibe with cozy and nice colorful decor. We ordered the Thicc Boi and Birria Ramen, and ordered sides of the Thai Peanut Cucumber Salad, and Pork buns. The salad was a nice appetizer. We wished we had this back home. The dressing tasted peanutty with black sesame seeds and a nice acid balance. Kaemada's Ramen has El Paso influences. The broth had full bodied flavor, the meat was cut thicker with grilled char! Please also try the Birrea Ramen! We eat Birria broth and tacos at home and this ramen bowl was a great marriage of the 2 dishes. The thick cut and grilled char feature was also included in the pork bun. It was so tasty and satisfying with the thick pork cut, which I often thought was too thin anyways in the original version. They took the best El Paso meat flavor and Japanese presentation influences to make Kaemada's dish unique and their own. Don't expect the delicate and refined dashi broth Japan has. Be open to the bold flavors of the pork and broth. Expect a Southwest and Japanese fusion of robust and evolved flavors. Personally, I like firm noodles so request it cooked this way. Izzy, our server was friendly and attentive. She made our meal there more pleasant. Don't forget to order the Yuzu Cheesecake, light and not so sweet with a strong presence of Yuzu. A great finish to our meal. 10/10.

I've been to a number of ramen spots around El paso. Kaedama is definitely top tier for ramen. Ive only ever tried the thiccboi with level 2 spice but that's all a food lover needs. Their pork buns and pork gyozas are great appetizers. Perfect spot for those rare cloudy days in the 915.

My nephew wanted to celebrate his birthday at Kaedama and we truly enjoyed ourselves ❤️ We were a bigger group of 5 and had to wait about 40 minutes to be seated inside, but was totally worth it. Heads up- You’ll need to pay a parking meter. The food was delicious and filling, our waitress even brought us extra noodles 🍜 My grandfather loved the pork gyozas, I ordered the Tonkotsu ramen, and the star of the show was the Thicc Boi. 10/10 I'll be coming back more often!

Great tasting vegetarian ramen with several different options plus good starters. Pleasant staff and dancy muzak 😊 and reasonable prices

We were here for a family trip.And we decided to check this place out. I am so glad we did.I really enjoyed it. The food was really good.The service was great and the cooks were singing and vibing.It made a very nice atmosphere and a pleasurable experience.

Incredible food- the tofu bun appetizer was heavenly, the ramen was flavorful and filling and the mochi was beautifully presented. Food-wise wonderful, and the wait staff was very attentive and friendly. If I could give a 4.5 I would. The only issue was the wait (almost 45 minutes but I would argue worth it) and the kitchen staff was playing music that clashed with the house music- a bit disorienting. Overall wonderful and delectable meal!

I'm no ramen aficionado, but this place has great ramen and miso with several vegetarian options. The bowls are huge at a reasonable price and they offer an extra serving of noodles if you're dining in - you should not leave hungry.
