Kitakata Ramen Ban Nai Fountain Valley

The downside was the restaurant lowered its AC too much that made 1 of my charsiu buns become a little hardened. So, you have to eat the buns while it's still hot. Please open another branch in Gaithersburg, MD as it needs 1 of the authentic ramen spots like Kitakata Bannai.

Service is good. But several months ago they changed their recipes. The broth is not as defined or dense. and the broth has more salt.

This may be a ramen place, but my favorite dish here is the Chicken Katsu Curry. The chicken is crispy and flavorful. The rice compliments the savory curry sauce, and it’s the perfect size portion. We also love pairing it off with Spicy Edamame. It’s topped with fried garlic chips and chili oil. Definitely like this location over the one in Buena Park it has better parking and more space inside. Keep in mind it is HIGHLY recommended to add yourself on the waitlist in Yelp, since they’ll make you do it when you arrive anyways.

Kitakata consistently provides delicious Ramen with the perfect noodles.

Friendly and well trained waiting staff, good food served at great speed. Clean and tidy place. Not much more to ask for.
