Kizuki Ramen & Izakaya (Redmond)

3/5 on food but some dishes were awesome so will come again. Tofu and spring roll were great. Potato pot stickers were ok too. The drink was average. Japanese curry on rice was average too. Nice clean ambience.

The ambience and service here are really good, and being located right in Redmond Town Center is definitely a plus. The servers (American origin) were friendly and surprisingly knowledgeable about the menu. This was only my second time trying Japanese food, so I can’t fully comment on authenticity, but overall the flavors were enjoyable. We tried the Chicken Rich Ramen, Chicken Shio Ramen, and Chicken Karaage Japanese Curry. The broths in the first two were rich and flavorful, and the Japanese curry with karaage was excellent. The only downside was that the chicken in the ramen dishes felt a bit undercooked and bland—maybe adjusted for a non-Asian palate. Wait time was about 20 minutes even on a Wednesday evening, which shows how popular this spot is. One small hiccup: servers couldn’t really explain the beers on tap. They only had two Japanese lagers (similar to Kingfisher), so beer lovers may find options limited. All in all, worth a visit if you’re in Redmond and want to explore Japanese flavors for yourself.

We were looking for a relatively quick trip as we needed to head out in a short amount of time and this was the perfect place to go. We immediately were seated during the lunch hour, attended to frequently, and experienced great customer service. The food was delicious and a great portion size.

Been here at least a dozen times now. I always get the extra garlicky pork ramen, it's always amazing. Super filling but not heavy. My partner has learned to use chopsticks since we started frequenting this place since he likes it so much. Sometimes we get sides: the potato croquette, renkon, both gyoza, and karaage are all great. Food is done very quickly, I think we've timed it being like 30 minutes from walking in to finishing food. The drinks are pretty good too. One of my reliable places when we don't know where to go. Not sure how they could handle larger parties, the tables are set up for a max of 4 people but they can always squish them together. There's also a few bar seats for solo dining and there's always at least one empty spot. We usually eat at weird times but on occasion it will be packed in and there's a short wait.

This location is a little small with a bar that can only seat about 4-5 people? The service was good, there was no wait, probably because they are really good at flipping tables so fast haha! We were a table of 5 and came on a busy night and there was no wait to get a table which was nice. Food was great, I always end up getting the same thing and it never disappoints.

The yuzu ramen tastes really good and the chicken wings is nice, too. Food was served very fast.

We had a great time! The Ramen bowls are huge, and delicious. We ordered the "All Star Ramen", with Chicken Kaarage, Reukon Chips, Takoyaki Octopus Dumpling, and a Mango Slushy and we loved everything. The meat was amazing, specially the Pork Belly. The staff and service is great too. They are always there to help and it was a delight to interact with them. We will definitely be coming back!
