"Miso is one of the more difficult styles to perfect, and I think there are only a handful of good miso ramen shops in Tokyo. This is one of them."

Goin’ Japanesque!

"Kikanbou Karashibi Ramen is a perfect choice for those who want to enjoy the taste of the soup while enjoying the heat from the spice!"

"I have to say, I dug this one even more than the original! It has a bit more in-your-face impact, and a nice fatty aftertaste. Sorry East Side, the western bits of Tokyo just lapped you, again."

"Rich and spicy miso broth coating each slurp of noodle. The pork wasn't the normal disk you get in most bowls. It was so moist it became almost crumbled. The house numbing pepper mix added a nice extra kick. I want another bowl right now."

Mariusz Sikorski

"To put simply this ended up being one of the best bowls of ramen I’ve had to date. The broth ended up being nice and deep and quite heavy. The sliced pork in the dish was so tender it was almost melting."

Benjamin Weber

"As promised, the broth was a super-spicy and tingly miso. The noodles were medium, firm, and straight, and the egg, and chashu were both tender and very good. Spicy, juicy, and delicious, Kikanbo is everything I remembered it."
