Kazoku Ramen

This is one of the best Japanese ramen restaurants in Edmonton. The standard is very close to what I have tasted in Japan. May be only this one in Edmonton, you can manually ground your own sesames before putting on to the noodle soup. This enhances the sesame's flavor much better. By looking at my photos, you would like to taste it? The fried chicken is also good. But I would say Ma Chef (Korean restaurant) is better. The dessert , red bean cake was deep fried for too long. I wish it would be better next time. But my main goal is for Japanese ramen.

Food was amazing, I loved their melon cream soda float, it reminded me of the shrek float that existed in the early 2000's 😂 appetizers were a hit! I got the tonkatsu Black sesame ramen and it was really good, enough to satisfy my ramen craving Miso ramen was really good too! Server was super duper nice, and the environment inside was very cute Looking forward to coming back soon!

Food is ok but service is terrible. The older lady is rude. My aunt was by the door waiting for my uncle to come in, and holding the door, the lady pulled the door closed without telling my aunt and said, You're letting the virus in!! 🥴 We waited for 20 mins before our orders were taken, the younger server is nice though. It's a good thing that the food is ok to compensate for the bad service. Not coming back though!!

This cute little spot is tucked away on the west side of Edmonton. Some would say after eating there if you didn’t know about them before, they’re a hidden secret now. The menu was full of delicious options to choose from. I loved to see the vegetarian ramen for those whom aren’t meat lovers but still get the same bang for their buck. The ingredients were fresh and the flavours were top shelf. I’m a noodle lover and always on the hunt for the best spot to get a good bowl of ramen. My ramen was amazing, paired with toasty Gyozas. This place did not disappoint and will definitely be added to my list of go to places in the city.

I went on Saturday after work and the food was great. I ordered the melon cream soda and was very pleased that its actually melon soda. I ordered gyoza and curry katsu and both were very good. The gyzoa was slightly over crisped but I enjoyed it none the less. You get a lot of curry when you get the Curry Katsu. I felt bad I wasn't able to eat all of it. Afterwards I ordered some Takiyaki without the ice cream. If you've had Takiyaki at some other places you may have experienced it cold. Well they cook it properly here and it's very hot, temperature wise. I'd 1000% recommend it but just know its red bean paste. I love red bean paste but some people don't like it. Overall the restaurant was clean and the food was nice. Near the end of the experienced the staff became more chatty and nice but they were never rude. Definitely will go back and if you like Japanese food recommend you visit.

It was a really cold day in YEG so we decided to go for ramen. We went to Kazoku based on the reviews and we were left quite disappointed after our meal. Upon arrival we got checked for vaccine passport and got sat at our table right away. We were really excited for our first experience at Kazoku, we scanned the online menu and was kinda suprised that there was not that many options compared to other Ramen places. We sat at our table for over 40min, no one came to talk to us or even offered us at least water or even to come and acknowledge us just to let us know that they are aware that we are “here” or even a quick “we’re so sorry we’re quite busy and only have one waitress” we would have been fine; (we started timing it after waiting 15 min and no one came to talk to us and all we saw was one waitress running around by herself paying attention to the same two tables and the person that checked us in was busy checking people in and taking payment). We were getting ready to leave when finally the waitress came to take our order (still no water) so we decided to order and give them another chance as it was not the waitress’ fault that she had no other helper. We ordered the squid karaage (which was delicious, the squid was not over cooked and it was full of flavor), the Tonkotsu creamy pork ramen (the portion was small compared to the big bowl it came in and the broth was good but nothing extraordinary) and the Japanese Char siu rice bowl (the pork was bland and dry therefore there was nothing flavorful to eat with the rice). I’m not sure if this was a one off thing considering all the positive reviews but will probably try a different ramen place next time.

Kazoku is probably the premier place to get ramen here in YEG! The service was thoughtful, welcoming and warm! The Chicken Karaage was awesome! The crispiness and the tenderness of the chicken was a great way to start the meal! I ordered the Tonkotsu Ramen. AMAZING! The broth was a perfect blend of savoury and smooth, with a touch of aromatics! The garnishes and noodles were delightful, coming together to make a quintessential ramen experience!
