Kuro Ramen - Worth to Try if You're in Kajang

Kuro Ramen - Worth to Try if You're in Kajang

I was in Prima Saujana one late afternoon, following a co-worker who lives in Kajang. She had asked me to help check some work documents in her home office there. After finishing up around 5 pm, hunger kicked in, and we decided to wander around for ramen. That walk led us to Kuro Ramen tucked at H-30-GB, Jalan Prima Saujana 2/D, Taman Prima Saujana, Kajang.

First Impressions

Kuro Ramen gives off a relaxed, cozy vibe—not flashy, but solid. The seating is casual and comfortable; you can see some of the kitchen from your table, which I enjoy because I like watching how ramen is made. The place was busy for dinner hour, but not overwhelmingly so.

Interestingly, it’s also one of the places featured in a Yahoo Style round-up of the best ramen in Malaysia which reassured me that we had walked into a spot that ramen fans already know about.

What We Tried

Since I was with my friend, we ordered a few bowls to compare (partly for ramen reviews, partly for appetite).

  • Original Kuro Ramen — A safe first pick. The chicken-based broth was nice, not too thick, but it tasted balanced. Topped with chashu, spring onion (negi), nori, and enoki.

  • Aka Ramen (Spicy) — My friend went bold on this one. The spice level gave it a good kick, though it wasn’t so hot that I couldn’t taste the broth’s base. Good if you like flavour with a bit of heat.

  • Negi Ramen — Simpler, lighter. Spring onions added freshness. Good contrast to the spicier and richer bowls.

For sides, we went with Hanetsuki Gyoza and Tori Karaage. The karaage was especially enjoyable—crispy enough, juicy inside. The gyoza was decent, though I’ve had crisper versions elsewhere. A quick browse on YummyAdvisor’s menu listing shows they also have a “Curry of Death” ramen if you’re feeling adventurous.

Value & Portion

Bowls are priced in the RM15–20 range, which is fair for the portion sizes. It’s nice to know you’re not overpaying for something as comforting as ramen. Portions filled me up without feeling overly heavy—exactly what you want after a long day. For context, other reviewers online, including those on KL Foodie echo the same sentiment: tasty bowls at reasonable prices.

What I Liked & What Could Be Better

👍 Highlights

  • Great variety: from Original, Aka (spicy), to Negi.

  • Broths are flavourful and enjoyable.

  • Casual and welcoming environment.

  • Easy to find if you’re in Kajang or surrounding suburbs.

👎 What Could Improve

  • Broths could have deeper umami in some bowls.

  • Dinner rush means longer waits; arriving before 6 pm helps.

Why Kuro Ramen Is Worth a Spot in “All About Ramen”

As I keep building my list of ramen reviews, consistency matters as much as bold flavours. Kuro Ramen might not claim to be the most famous shop in Malaysia, but it balances affordability and taste well. If you’re exploring the Klang Valley ramen scene, food guides like SETHLUI’s coverage of ramen restaurants also place Kajang on the map for noodle lovers.

Final Thoughts

Walking out of Kuro Ramen that night, I felt content. It wasn’t just about the ramen, but about discovering another pocket of Malaysia’s ramen scene while tagging along on a work errand. For me, that’s what makes all about ramen such a fun journey—it’s never just food, it’s the experience around it.

Happy Slurping,

Emily

Spoiler: it did, and then some. First Impressions Finding Torigen wasn’t difficult; it’s tucked away in J’s Gate Dining on the 4th floor of Lot 10 , a lively cluster of Japanese eateries that TimeOut Kuala Lumpur  often highlights as a foodie hotspot.
