Menya Kitakara

Kitakara is an incredible and mouthwatering Japanese restaurant! My wife and I savored the Shrimp Tempura and Miso Soup, and wow, they were absolutely amazing! I wholeheartedly recommend this place to anyone exploring downtown Emma.

Seated immediately. We have a lot of experience with Ramen but, as we always do, we asked for recommendations and ordered what was recommended. Everyone has different tastes, and mine usually don't align with popular opinion. While I think I would have enjoyed my original inclination, the dishes we ordered were all fantastic. In particular, for next time we intend to order #9 Garlic Miso Tori Paitan again with spicy chicken Karaage instead of regular Karaage. The strawberry soju was tasty standard soju and we were very pleased splitting that. The mochi ice cream was good for those who enjoy that kind of dessert.

Excellent ramen and gyoza! The vegetable gyoza was so crispy and flavorful. I enjoyed the spicy butter miso ramen and it was sooo good! The broth was rich, spicy and with just the right amount of pork bone funk, the pork was tender and just the right amount of fatty, the noodles were perfectly cooked, and the soft boiled soy egg was the cherry on top. And my partner with the tonkotsu ramen said ditto 😅 with the exception being his broth which was light but still flavorful. Will be back to try many MANY more things.

Great ramen place! There are so many choices I didn't know where to start. We had the number 9, 12, and something else. I can't remember. They were all good, the broth was amazing in all three. We will be back.

If we could give this place more stars we would!!! My boyfriend and I had a great experience at Kitakara. The food came out quick and was delicious. Our server was excellent and attentive as well, we look forward to our next visit.
