Kin

Good like a well-kept secret. If they keep this up, they'll need a larger location. The table and counter spaces are cozy or cramped depending upon one's perspective. I'm in the cozy camp, appreciating the attempt at authenticity by this noodle startup. The service is efficient and very cordial. Food is excellent. It's an eat-and-go place. Don't expect to linger. They need to keep the wait line moving. That's a good sign for the success of this restaurant.

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 you'll be richly rewarded for your patience. The same great service and AMAZING food were present, this ranks as a must go if you're in the New Orleans area.

You might come here for the ramen, but you might be better off just sticking with several orders of chicken wings. They are dope. I've 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 you've gotta love the authentic feel of the place.

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.

I was craving hard for ramen and decided to give Kin a try! Kin's selections is definitely a mix of the Southern and Japanese influence which is very interesting! For appetizers: -Spicy Crispy Chicken with in house sauce The spicy chicken had a very strong and overwhelming sriracha, tangy taste, I wouldn't say that it was my favorite. -Chicken pot pie dumplings They 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.

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 didn't 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

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 wasn't 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.
