About Kibuna Japanese Noodles

Mascot locals slip into Kibuna for generous bowls of rich noodle broth, crisp chicken katsu, and fresh sashimi at neighborhood prices. The room channels an unpretentious Tokyo izakaya—tight tables, steady chatter, and Orion draft flowing straight from the tap. Diners swear by the freedom of the menu: tuck into a hearty bento, or order a mini ramen so there is still plenty of room for takoyaki, agedashi tofu, and a sake flight. Tables fill on a walk-in basis, and curries arrive in their own heated pots beside refillable bowls of steamed rice.

  • Mini Ramen Portions: Pair izakaya sides and starters with compact ramen bowls without committing to a full-sized main.
  • Heated Pot Curry with Free Refills: Curry sauce arrives hot in an individual pot served alongside bottomless bowls of steamed rice.
  • Walk-In Seating: Seating operates strictly on a walk-in basis, drawing evening dinner crowds without reservations.

  • Chicken Namban Bento

    We ordered the chicken namban bento and spicy miso ramen- I was pleasantly surprised by the portion. The chicken was soft and tender yet crispy on the outside, accompanied by a rich tangy topping.

  • Spicy Miso Ramen

    The spicy miso ramen, on the other hand, hit just right. High quality noodles and a broth with such depth and flavour…I couldn’t ask for more.
