Thank you for a great evening, delicious macha, and a wonderful natural infusion 🍵 for my sore throat and cough after an infection. However, what captivated me most about Kicia is the people who make this place work. It wasn't just the cus...

We stumbled upon this place by accident because we were looking for ramen near the Highline. Everything about it was perfect! From Janek (my god, what charisma! The right man in the right place), to the decor (even the toilet was incredibly...

Where’s the chili oil? Where are the spices in the ramen (this is why the broth taste flat)? Where’s the sauce on the table? No option to choose spicy level. These add ons are the heart of Asian restaurant that feel authentic, and I think t...

In short: it's a soft opening and they're asking for honest opinions, so it's great – it's worth mentioning a few things. The decor: a cool visual identity, the place has huge potential, it's nice and quite spacious, including outdoor table...

Hi, when are you opening?

A really cool place and definitely worth a visit! 🍜🍵 The ramen was definitely tasty, although I think a few more toppings would have been nice. The chicken was decent, but without much of a "wow" factor; it seemed to have been simply boi...

Unfortunately, I don't recommend it at all. The vegetarian ramen was absolutely tasteless, just discolored water with tofu cubes and a few mushrooms. At first, the staff asked for feedback because they had just opened. When taking away the...

A very attractive bistro with excellent service (Janek is a professional with a sense of humor, definitely deserving of the bonuses). The portions are balanced, but not for a full day of starvation. The place offers both indoor and outdoor...

Nice place with lovely atmosphere. Food is delicious, though the portions aren’t that big. The staff is sweet. Recommend the place 👌🏻

The strangest restaurant we've ever been to, in terms of concept. We went in based on the reviews without checking the menu... We felt like it was an Instagram mecca for specific people (mostly women) weighing 45kg with matcha in hand. We c...

The restaurant has a very pleasant atmosphere, and the entire décor is in an interesting style, obviously inspired by Japan. The food itself is good, although the chicken ramen needs a little improvement; the broth could be improved a bit. The matcha was good, and you could tell it was high quality....
