Creative ramen and sides with flavors that are perfectly balanced. Staff is very friendly. Looks unassuming from the outside, but they serve some of the best ramen you can get in the continental US

All of the food here is amazing and the staff are really really friendly! It feels very homey here 😊

Im so happy to have discovered this place! The food is superb, and the Ramen has so much depth of flavor! Every bite was different. I literally cant wait to go back to try another type of Ramen. The owner was so accommodating, and very friendly. That alone is a reason to return! Definitely the best Ramen around! Period!

Good like a well-kept secret. If they keep this up, theyll need a larger location. The table and counter spaces are cozy or cramped depending upon ones perspective. Im in the cozy camp, appreciating the attempt at authenticity by this noodle startup. The service is efficient and very cordial. Food is excellent. Its an eat-and-go place. Dont expect to linger. They need to keep the wait line moving. Thats a good sign for the success of this restaurant.

Finally able to try with family, awesome Ramen. Get there early since its small (our party of 6 basically took up the 1 large table). Highly recommend!

Super tasty ramen with both traditional and modern takes. Rotating variety of appetizers keeps things interesting. Felt warm and welcomed by staff from the second we walked in.

Very good younique food prepared and served by friendly staff.

Great food. I ordered the oxtail rice bowl.Customer service was good and I will be back. Covid protocol was also good

Stopped by Kin for an early dinner on April 24, 2019 to try the Meow Meow Bowl because of others’ recommendations. Yum! I loved that the egg in the dish was soft boiled and that they let the flavor of the rich broth shine through without the addition of a lot of extra seasonings. In addition we added an order of the daily dumplings which were very tasty. Super appreciative of the good service, too.

After a recent menu revision I was only a teensy bit apprehensive to see what was up with Kin. Honestly I was worried about nothing, the food was stellar and the recent menu revisions are just a sign of a young restaurant staying fresh and creative. The wings are better than most wing joints, and the new appetizer we tried was phenomenal. Be aware that the location is a little tight on space so coming during peak dinner hour may mean a slight wait but youll be richly rewarded for your patience. The same great service and AMAZING food were present, this ranks as a must go if youre in the New Orleans area.

Wowsers! Not much else to say. Kins menu is small, but focused. They have all the right choices. Pork belly melts in your mouth. Serious gem in NOLA. Go eat there. Now.

Funnily enough my favorite food I had while I was down here in NOLA. The ramen was a bit heavier/savory than most other ramen shops Ive had the opportunity to partake in. The real highlight though is their dumplings. GET THEM.

Food and service here is always amazing. I just love everything about this place. Great fresh house made ingredients. Awesome creative ever evolving menu. Keep it up Kin!

At first glance I was a little disdained by the restaurants outward appearance. Parking was non-existent, but being as we were the first ones there, it wasnt too bad. Entering the resturant was a clean experience; very small and cozy. Our server was very awkward and seemed a little incompetent. He took care of us just at a slow pace. Now the food was well worth the wait. Very well dressed plates and dynamic flavors. Would have no problem waiting for up to an hour for this food. Overall very nice experience.

Staff is very friendly....not hesitate to tip twice lol. Taste is awesome!

It was alright, the flavor was alright, the soup was lukewarm, it was not hot at all, dining area was small, seemed a little tight, not in my top ten ramen restaurants. The appetizers was tasty but a little on the pricey side, four dumplings didnt do much for hunger but tasted fine. The soup was flavorful but it felt like it sat around a little while before they brought it to the table

The chicken Shoyu was great. the broth flavorful, and I really enjoyed the noodles. The wait staff was also quite polite.

Consistently stellar dining experience, upbeat service, and ever-evolving menu make Kin a HUGE favorite! If I could rate it 5 stars every time, I would!

Absolutely delicious! Ramen was perfect. General Meows Wing were amazing! The right amount spice! Balanced flavors. Great atmosphere. Excellent service. Gabriel was awesome!

Some of the best ramen and wings Ive had anywhere. Great flavor combinations youre unlikely to find elsewhere. Its BYOB so come prepared with booze if you want it.

You might come here for the ramen, but you might be better off just sticking with several orders of chicken wings. They are dope. Ive had one of their ramens that was great (barbecue brisket) and another one that was just okay (with a chicken thigh). The menu changes quite often, and youve gotta love the authentic feel of the place.

I was craving hard for ramen and decided to give Kin a try! Kins selections is definitely a mix of the Southern and Japanese influence which is very interesting!For appetizers:-Spicy Crispy Chicken with in house sauceThe spicy chicken had a very strong and overwhelming sriracha, tangy taste, I wouldnt say that it was my favorite.-Chicken pot pie dumplingsThey were perfect and had good amount of filling. Not too bad.Ramen:I had the Meow Meow Bowl.It was so flavorful and I really enjoyed the roasted pork! It had bamboo shoots, corn, and The browth and noodles was cooked to perfection.Overall I really enjoyed my meal, the staff was very friendly and I would definitely come again.Tip: The restaurant is quite small so it would probably be perfect for a small group of 4.

Thats a dang good hot bird

Called and was asked to be put on hold for 10 seconds. No problem. I waited 15 minutes before giving up just to see how long it would go. Then they clearly forgot and left the phone off the line. Very professional.Some say its still off the line to this day

Delightful service. Fresh made noodles. Tom yum ramen was pretty darn good, not Thai spicy but good!

The experience is always great. The food is amazing and its the best Ramen spot in the city.

Amazing flavors. Freshly made noodles! OmG. What a great bowl of amazingness.

Great hole-in-the-wall location. Small menu but they serve them with quality and so much flavour. Great service. Highly recommended

Lovely little spot. There’s a small menu but everything on it is great! The menu changes often, but try the meow meow! There’s also really good dumplings and a BYOB option. ($10 if you decide to bring your own liquor). I had an awesome time here.

Best ramen shop in New Orleans hands down. Really tasty selection of dumplings and chicken wings to start. Handmade noodles with the rich broth will have you in a food coma by the end.

Cozy place with great food and friendly staff. The chicken and pork shoyu ramen were my favorites.

All the food looked amazing. Taste, not so much. The dumplings had no flavor and the ramen was very heavy and otherwise just ok.

Most delicious ramen Ive ever had

This place is fantastic. The service is awkward and slow. The atmosphere is nothing special. Its all about the menu and execution of said items.

Pretty chill vibes, the food is definitely wonderful and filling, just hoping they expand on the menu a tad bit more. Loved it tho!

Small seating area where they pack you in like traditional ramen restaurant style. Street parking in a iffy neighborhood but it looks like its being gentrified. Wait staff is really efficient though. Ever changing menu so there is always something new. Although, its kind of rough when you finally settle on a favorite and its gone.

The menu small but the flavors are big!

Best ramen in new orleans!

The place, the staff and the cleanliness of the place is very good. But I highly disliked the ramen. Specifically the bamboo straws, they had a special smell and taste I quite did not like whatsoever. It is very personal, many people might have liked it, but I did not enjoy the ramen there. The presentation was very nice. I wouldnt like to harm the reputation of the place as the taste for food is very personal, but I wouldnt eat ramen there again.

The building looks like a hole in the wall building, but the food is really good. Service is friendly and helpful. Even the background music was to my taste. If you enjoy pork belly, order the Meow, Meow. Try the dumplings also.

Great place. Seats about 24. Small menu but delicious food. I got pork tonkotsu

So Chic and the food is excellent!!!

I love kins Ramen and dont forget the chicken wings with extra pickles!

Delicious! So happy they have a vegan option now

I am giving this five stars because of the wings and the service! The ramen, in my opinion, is only a 4 star.

Solid asian fusion, the chicken pot pie dumplings and the chinese takeout ramen were fantastic!

DELICIOUS! It was my first time there. Friendly and very quick service. I got the Chinese Take-Out. Good size portion.

Kin moving its menu to a ramen focus was a great decision. The offerings are predominantly noodle and broth focused, with a rotating appetizer selection of wings and dumplings. Everything is incredibly affordable for either lunch or dinner, so with a group, a few appetizers and an entree each are more than filling and not heavy hitting on your wallet. BYOB and add some rum or champagne to their fruit spritzers too!

Not recommended. We tried all five ramen they had on menu. None of this was really good.

Honestly my favorite ramen in the whole city! The staff was friendly and checked on us often, the fruit spritzers were refreshing, and the seafood ramen had a bold flavor that I very much enjoyed. My boyfriend had the vegan ramen and reccomends requesting it spicy!

Asian food and the setting at this spot is very good. One of the best spots of its kind in the area. Looking forward to a return visit. Bring your appetite because portions are large.

Great food, had the pork ramen and chicken wings. service was prompt

The food is so good here!!! 🍲🍜

Asian food at this location - yummy. This place will surprise you. I had a cousin come into town and she asked me to go back here. The place has an awesome atmosphere.

Service and food are always outstanding! Dumplings are some of the best Ive ever had and the broth in the udon bowl is so savory! Highly recommend

For my first bowl of ramen its become my new favorite food and getting it to go was a good idea because of the cute cat drawn on the container! If you have any desire to try ramen or already like it try this place ASAP

Had the vegetarian ramen. I was expecting a broth, but they said that their broth was animal based. The ramen I had was a dry dish that was really well seasoned and the textures were wonderful, but it was a bit too spicy. It was on the verge of being inedible spicy. But otherwise it tasted great. It was kind of pricy since the ramen wasn’t a big dish.

Best ramen in New Orleans! So fresh and delicious

The meow meow bowl was amazing!!

Some awesome ramen.

Great food, great service! So glad yall are open for take-out now!

I was a little disappointed. One of my favorite ramen places is Nomiya on Magazine, and I expected Kin to be even better but it wasnt. I dont want to compare in this review so I will just say, that size of the Ramen at Kin was nice, regular size, but they did not provide with a lot of meat. No options of getting seaweed, pickle ginger or additional bamboo shoots even if you have to pay extra for those items. And if you ask for hot(flavor), they will bring you the Huy Fong foods chili garlic sauce. The broth was not as thick as I am used to, and the flavor was not there. I am very new at Ramen, but it didnt taste like the usual tonkotsu or miso ramen broth. I might go again and try a different ramen, but...

Absolutely delicious, one of the best restaurants in the universe.

Very good spot for some Asian influence food

Make sure to try literally everything... Dumplings were awesome I had the Chinese takeout ramen and it was amazing loved the mushrooms in it. Oh and definitely try the wings and dont forget desert.

Good tonkotsu; garnish made sense, not just asian stuff. Vegan bowl really good, no broth, however.

Quite busy place, various ramen dishes, wings, and sweets. Very tasty all made in house.

A place that puts immense care and pride into every dish-I have never been disappointed by a meal or the service. A rotating menu always has something new and exciting to try. The space is small, so it can be tough for large groups, but they can make it work. I’d just go alone or with one other person and sit at the bar area.

This place has some of the most creative meals. The lunch menu changes based on season offerings.

This place has the best ramen I’ve ever had, and I’ll definitely be back. Excellent service, excellent food and coffee. My one complaint is when it came time to pay the bill they gave me and my 4 friends one bill and when we asked to split it we were told to write down who was paying what amount rather than who bought what. This was way more complicated than it had to be due to a tip that was already placed on the ticket, and taxes. But that issue still doesn’t make this place deserve less than a 5 star.

Great ramen, interesting flavors. Dumplings are okay, service was slow

Very tasty food, good portion sizes. We got the Meow meow bowl, dumplings and chicken wings, all of which were delicious.The dining area is very small, with mostly communal seating. Small lunch menu. Not sure what the dinner menu is like. Service was prompt and friendly.

Best vegan ramen I’ve ever had

Love this place. Affordable, warm, and cozy. Service is quick. The place is relatively small, so sometimes it takes 10-15 to get seated, but thats no issue. The wings are to die for. Will definitely come back with friends and/or family.

A delight tucked away

The atmosphere is amazingly family oriented. Its perfect for family dinners, friends night out, or even date night. The food is absolutely amazing. I personally recommend the house wings (spicy).

Food was okay, xlb was overpriced. No split checks.

Absolutely outstanding! The food is always hands-down incredible, but on my most recent visit I happened to be the knucklehead sneaking in 20 min before close. The staff was beyond friendly and accommodating, even offering to let me pick the music for the rest of the night. Slammin!

Consistently excellent

Amazing. Everything was SO delicious. Had the dumpling of the day, the fish, and the chicken ramen. The waitstaff was really charming, and helpful. Both servers we interacted with were knowledgeable and very friendly.

I have a great dinning experience when I visit Kin. The friendly staff greets me, and ushers me to an available seat. Each time I go I try a different bowl of ramen. You taste the fresh ingredients and care and attention the staff at Kin put into each dish on the menu. I definitely recommend it.

Small restaurant. No dedicated parking lot. Very cute, very clean, very friendly. Rotating selection of dumplings, nice ramen menu. Great place!

This is one of my favorite places to eat. I feel so welcomed when I come through the door! Not a single item on the menu has ever let me down!

Great food, I really enjoyed the mango cumin habanero wings. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Highly recommend

Slam dunk every time! Flavors are ever changing and off the charts. We went an hour before closing and they greeted us with an enthusiastic and warm welcome. 10 out of 5 stars!

Meow bowl. Dont ask questions. Just get it in you. If you have religious objections to pork, pick any thing else, but the meow bowl is so savory its like butter. Its almost creamy. Im going to run out of adjectives. Just eat. Youll have to have your own religious experience.

I love this place! Friendly staff, food is always consistently good, and I enjoy their dumpling specials. Do yourself and favor and check them out if havnt already.

Best ramen Ive ever had! Delicious, savory, well balanced broth. Springy handrolled noodles with a satisfying mouth feel. Everything is perfect. Very small restaurant so expect a wait and to share tables. Worth. It.

Nice one

Now this is Ramen! Pricey but you get your moneys worth. Noodles are made in house too by a dude lost in his own world with headphones on. THIS PLACE IS SPECIAL. Like Michelin Star Special!

I hadnt been to Kin since just after it opened. The food then was really good. But on a recent trip, the food was closer to outstanding: rich, deeply-flavored, immense body, and balanced. Just delicious. The pork shoulder, the vegan, and the brisket dishes were all outstanding. I dont have a lot of love for the James Beard awards, but Im glad they picked this place, which was otherwise a little obscure and tucked into a little part of town.

There are only a few nights cold enough for ramen in NOLA, but this is the place when it is. The one with fish is the one to get. Excellent

I love this place!!! My neighbor just told me about it, I went and fell in love. What great food, how have not heard about before now.Well, now youve heard about it to and you have to go!

There once was a restaurant named kin,Where the food was always a win.The wings are amazing,With just the right glazing,They are just the best way to begin.The entrees are mainly just noodles,But the bowls hold all kit-and-kaboodles.With fresh veggies, boss,And a wonderful sauce,Try them all before you say, Toodles.So, when you walk through the door,Be aware you are going to want moreOf the delicious meats,And the crossover treats,For kins food is never a bore.

I love this place, everybody is always friendly, food Id great . Nice little place

When it comes to Ramen on NOLA, hard to do better than kin. Small menu but the dishes are full of flavor. Pair it with some of their always rotating dumpling and you wont be disapointed.

The food is good, and the menu changes often.However, for a restaurant that does not serve alcohol, I was dismayed to discover that there is a $10.00 per bottle corkage fee at this restaurant.I could understand this if the facility served alcohol, but since it does not, then that fee is nonsense. I and my other guests have decided we will not be back unless their policy changes - get a liquor license or eliminate the corkage fee.

Started with a savory chicken Marsala dumpling. it was like a gourmet hot pocket in my mouth. The Ramen was very hearty, spicy, smoky, hot chili broth to warm your insides. The beef is thin cut and marbled with fat, the noodles were fresh and homemade that day. This place has a very small sign and a limited menu but they do roughly 5 ramen broth varieties. Im gonna go back and try the rest. Two people racked up $80 bill but its the best soup in town.

Fantastic food. Friendly service. Worth a trip.

Awesome food!
