Kiki on Ludlow

Kiki's ramen reflects Hideki and Yuko Harada's focused approach to Japanese comfort food, with a deeply developed broth and house components. Cincinnati Magazine's feature makes the noodles central while also documenting the izakaya dishes around them. The Clifton room encourages a bowl plus shared plates, giving the ramen context without diluting its role in the meal.

The menu gives diners several ways into Japanese cooking, from smaller shared plates to a more complete meal built across courses. The compact room encourages sharing across the table.
