Kizuki is a new ramen spot in Plano. We recently stood in the cold in a line at the grand opening for a taste of the ramen. And we have no regrets.
Foodies, ramen enthusiasts and plainly curious passersby gathered outside the doors of the new location of Kizuki Ramen and Izakaya in Plano recently, hoping to snag one of 100 free bowls of ramen that the restaurant was giving out to celebrate its grand opening. Early-morning hours and 40-degree temperatures were a sacrifice that it seems many were willing to make in pursuit of a taste of Kizuki’s “authentic Japanese ramen.
The worldly decor here is a pretty good start to the authenticity. Paper lanterns inscribed with Japanese calligraphy are stacked on the front wall, offering a good backdrop to capture some worthy pictures. And if the photo-ops weren’t enough entertainment, an open kitchen allows you to watch the noodle-tossing, broth-boiling and stir-frying magic happen while you wait.The wait for food was 10 to 15 minutes, but our verdict is that the wait — both at the table and in the line — is worth it.
Bowls are served piping hot and come with toppings like bean sprouts, cherry tomatoes and traditional Japanese fish cakes, to name a few. Many of Kizuki’s ingredients are imported straight from Japan and prepared by specially trained chefs to mimic those made in traditional Japanese kitchens.Newly opened locations in Houston, Taiwan and Australia are a testament to the worldwide popularity Kizuki has garnered since its founding in 2012.
