Charlotte, NC | KAZOKU Ramen 🍜

Hands down, the best ramen in this “village”—no contest! Let me count: I’ve been here weekly, and it’s the first spot I take friends when they visit. Bold claim? I’ll stand by it: This place crushes every ramen joint in Atlanta. What makes it so great? Let’s break it down: Broths: Every single one is a winner. Rich, depthful, and full of umami—whether you go shoyu (soy), miso, or tonkotsu, you can taste the care that goes into simmering them.🍲✨ Noodles: Perfect texture—chewy, springy, and soak up the broth like a dream.🎃 Toppings: Chashu pork is melt-in-your-mouth tender, the soft-boiled egg is marinated to perfection (creamy yolk, savory whites), and the bamboo shoots? Sweet, crisp, and chef’s kiss. Even the nori and green onions are fresh—no skimping here!👻🎃 Oh, and their fried chicken? Insanely good. Juicy on the inside, crispy on the outside, with just the right seasoning. Consistency? Flawless—every order hits the mark 🍗. Only the shoyu ramen comes with an egg by default, but trust me: That egg is so good, I gladly pay extra to add it to any bowl. Worth every penny.🎃 Pricing? Unbeatable. $14 for a bowl Monday-Friday lunch, $16 on weekends and evenings. Even with an extra egg, it’s still a steal for this quality. Bonus: Their free water is the best I’ve had at any restaurant. My guess? A top-tier water filter—makes sense, because great ramen starts with great water, right? 🍱✨ If you’re in Charlotte, do yourself a favor and eat here. This is the kind of ramen that makes you sigh with happiness.
