Delicious Japanese Tonkotsu Ramen, Chicken Katsu, Gyoza and Ika Geso Karaage. Our toddler loved all of it. Can't wait to come back, hopefully they'll have okonomiyaki Hands down best Ramen in AR, MO or OK. Impressed with their draft beer selection as well. #IPA #umami

Great experience at Menya Kitakara today. Service was excellent and the food was outstanding. Didn’t get a pic of the dumplings because they were gone in a flash. Tasty appetizers, fantastic Ramen (#2 and #9 pictured) in a clean, modern environment. Priced very moderately and with a good variety of dishes and drinks to choose from. Give this place a try. You’ll love it!

Great food! Everything we had was amazing. Wish the chicken katsu had a bit more curry with the dish, but still delicious. The ramen was full of flavor and creamy. The tabletop hot sauce is great addition and great amount of spice. Coming back soon!

The best chicken katsu cutlet I've had since going to Japan. The ramen was also delicious . Amazing service and friendly staff. I will definitely return when I'm back in NWA. We inhaled the katsu before a photo could be taken.

We ordered everything vegetarian. Vegetarian Ramen, Potato croquette and Vegetarian Soup (yaki soba). Loved all of them. Add some chilli oil to spice things up. I'd appreciate more veggies in the soup and leas noodles but can't complain. Recommend this for my vegetarian friends out there

Karina waited on us tonight and she was so kind and eager to help us find adult beverages and appetizers for the night! We loved this place and can’t wait to come by to try ramen! Love how close this spot is to home and will definitely recommend to our friends! Be sure to try the fried squid dish and potato cakes! YUM! The Peach and Pineapple Soju are delicious!

This is the second time my husband and I have eaten here- we love it!! We had the vege gyoza (fantastic!) the Mazesoba, and the vegetable yakisoba. All delicious, especially when the hot sauce at the table is added. Excellent service!

Delicious! We ordered potstickers to start, then I got the Garlic Miso Tori Paitan and my husband had the Spicy Butter Miso. We ate every drop. Service was prompt and courteous, space was fantastic. So glad to have this spot in Downtown Springdale!
