Killer Noodle Tsujita

We got the Tokyo style with soup at level 1 and it was good. Not spicy and enjoyed the peanut buttery taste. Would probably try the standard spice level (3) next time. The chicken was divine! They were huge pieces and the sauces that came with it were so gas. Went at 1:30 and we had about 15 minute wait so not too bad.

Soo yummy! The sesame and peanut notes in the Tokyo style was great! I got level 1 numbing and level 3 spice (as I don’t love the numbing flavor). Food was hot and fresh but service was a bit slow—but they were packed so it wasn’t a big deal! Chicken karage was well seasoned and crispy (ginger dipping sauce was delightful). The original style ramen is vegetarian friendly and was surprisingly flavorful for how light it was.

Tsujita was founded in 2003 in Tokyo and the first ones came to America in 2017. This is one of their very few locations and it’s amazing. They do not accept reservations and it’s first come first serve so be prepared to wait a bit but it’s so worth it! They have different choices of soup and you can also order it without soup if you just want the noodles. I got the chicken ramen (not spicy) and it was fabulous. It comes with a fish cake on top, spinach, green onions, and menma. I order a poached egg on the side to add inside and it was the perfect touch. They have indoor and outdoor seating that has heat lamps close by for those cold fall and winter nights.

Killer Noodles is a delightful restaurant that offers an array of tasty dishes. During my visit, I had the opportunity to try their takoraki, pork buns, and customizable noodles, all of which left a positive impression on me. The takoraki, featuring Octopus, Japanese Mayo, Takoyaki Sauce, Bonito Flakes, and Aonori, was a standout. I was captivated by the skillful garnishing technique, and the flavor was pleasantly sweet. However, it's important to note that the takoraki comes out piping hot, so exercise caution to avoid burning your mouth. The pork buns, a simple combination of Bun, Pork, Cucumber, and Sweet Soy Sauce, were a perfect pre or post-noodle snack. They provided a sweet element that nicely complemented the main dishes. Speaking of the noodles, Killer Noodles offers a fantastic customization feature where you can determine the level of numbing and spiciness. I opted for the Tokyo style with a rich and creamy Pork and Chicken Broth. While I thoroughly enjoyed the experience, finding the ideal level of numbing and spiciness took some experimentation. The soup option proved helpful in mellowing the spice, making the noodles more enjoyable. Plus, it made for a refreshing drink once I finished my meal. The customer service at Killer Noodles was generally friendly, with attentive staff members who checked in on us at the beginning of our visit. However, there was a slight hiccup when it came to receiving our check and getting a to-go box. Despite finishing our food, it took about ten minutes for anyone to offer assistance, and we had to raise our hands to get their attention. In contrast, a larger group that arrived after us was promptly attended to, causing a minor inconvenience. This delay became problematic since the adjacent parking area only offers one hour of validation. As a result, we exceeded the validation period due to the wait, resulting in additional charges. It's worth mentioning that the other parking options in the area are paid timers on the street, making the adjacent parking the only "free" option. However, no signs indicated a cash-only policy, so I had to withdraw money from a nearby ATM, incurring additional charges. Quicker service from the waitstaff would have prevented these extra fees. Despite the minor service hiccups and parking-related issues, I have visited Killer Noodles on multiple occasions and intend to keep coming back whenever I'm in the area. In fact, I would even make the hour-long trip solely to dine at this restaurant. I just hope that the waitstaff can improve their efficiency in addressing customer needs to avoid additional parking charges in the future.
