Ramen Kazama Como Ave - Minneapolis

We ordered: Oni Giri with Pork Belly, Gyoza, Shoyu Ramen and, suggested by staff, Tonotsku Ramen. Everything was EXCELLENT and arrived quickly at 2:15 on a Saturday. Highly recommend. Worth the price.Food: 5/5

Left feeling very satisfied. I went on a snowy Sunday evening and was impressed by the quality of the food, friendliness of the staff, and the cozy ambience. There’s fancier ramen out there to be fair, but Ramen Kazama does not disappoint. Check them out if you haven’t already. I’ll let the photos speak for themselves.

My old roommate and I used to live in the area and I could always count on Ramen Kazama for hearty bowls of love aka their rich ramen. My go to there will always be their Tonkotsu Ramen $15.75) which comes with chashu, bamboo shoots, mushrooms and green onion. The pork bone marrow broth and chashu are both SO good the best on a MN winter night. Warms you up and is filling too. I've dined in and also done takeout. It's not usually too busy, so I liked to go their for lunch or order pick up if I was feeling like watching a show or movie with my meal. You can request Kaedama extra noodles for $2.25) which is awesome. Reminded me of my time in Japan.The space is small, but cozy. I wouldn't say Ramen Kazama is for big groups, but if you like to dine solo or with your significant other, it's a good space. They offer 5 ramen bowl options and rice dishes. They have small plates too if you're in a snacking mood. I really enjoy their chicken karaage Japanese fried chicken for $7.95).If you're on the U of M campus near Como, it's in walking distance otherwise I'd suggest parking in the nearby neighborhoods.

Small establishment but big on taste. The Ramen selection here really satisfies the craving from the noodles, broth, and additional options such as pickled ginger and garlic. If I were to nitpick anything it would just be that their appetizers are very hit and miss. You're probably just better off sticking with the Ramen options.Food: 4/5

Wonderful part of the Minneapolis landscape I love the artwork and variety of dishes. Quick service and good energy
