★★★★★ 5.0 Susana Chan · Jan 2026

We got the chicken kaarage & duck ramen on cold rainy day. Unique broth was delicious w/ great umami. Chicken crunchy & piping hot. Indoor seating accommodates 22. Service was fast. Definitely worth coming back when in vicinity. Prices reasonable for bouncy fresh ramen!

Nick was highly energetic and was a great service, infact he was cheerful and good vibes. The atmosphere gives the sense that it's very popular and busy during lunch time. Such as the nature of any ramen restaurants. In terms of the Ramen, it was very good! The broth is superly full of umami and the ramen noodles was immaculate, the bowl was well set together to make for a perfect Ramen bowl. Even though the meat was tender I didn't enjoy the meat as much as I hoped in taste. Overall it was a great experience, and I am happy to go back and try more dishes!

★★★★★ 5.0 Jake Byman · Feb 2026

Overall quite a good experience at Kumako Den. We had a very short wait when we got there, and the staff were very friendly. The ramen was definitely quite good; the noodles were amazing, as was the char siu. The broth was overall decent but not as amazing as the rest! My only gripe was that it was quite pricey; for a ramen and beer each for two people, ended up being over $60, which felt a bit steep. Overall very decent though!

Very cheap for ramen now a days, about $16/17 for a massive bowl. I ate half and was already full. There was a bit of a wait at 1.30 on a Saturday because the resturant is a bit smaller. When we left at 2, there was an even bigger wait! The noodles were springy and the meat was sweet and fresh, but some of the soups were off. The tonkatsu broth had a lot of white pepper and wasn't really rich as expected. The low sodium broth wasn't memorable, and the mapo tofu soup was good, but as a Chinese person I expected it to be more floral or complex. It was interesting and worth trying for me, though. When fresh, the karaage was very juicy but not the crunchiest. When it cooled it still got kind of powdery in the mouth as karaage often gets. Had more vegetarian options than most ramen places.
