I used to eat here often when I worked in Alhambra. I was in the area and decided to eat dinner with my daughter here.The ramen was just as good as I remember. I have recommended this restaurant to many friends over the years and I'm happy the quality of their food is still very good!I wish I could've met Akiko and her mom to complete my trip down memory lane.

Highly recommend!! Food is always delicious, quick whether you dine in or get it to go. I’ve been there enough times that they know my name when I start to give my order (over the phone) and in person she just tells me to make sure it’s still the same. The parking lot is small, BUT I usually can find a spot. Wish they were open Sundays, but they work hard the other six days of the wk.Kid-friendliness: I’ve taken my kids who are picky eaters and the popcorn chicken is always a favorite of theirs
Love the spicy ramen and popcorn chicken. No alcohol. No delivery is the only things I see as downfall. Otherwise the food here is great!!

A nice cozy place to enjoy some good ramen. I got the spicy ramen at medium spicyness which had a bit of a kick. When I go back next time. I'm definitely getting extra spicy. The gyoza was good as well.Vegetarian options: There was a vegetable ramen choice along with a tofu salad and some other vegan side options.Parking: Parking lot is very small about 10 cars or so.

Small decent ramen shop with off street parking in the back of the building. The ramen and udon we tried didn't taste as good as we thought. The broth was a bit too salty to our taste. The service was ok, but there were barely any people dining in when we were there. The indoor atmosphere is small and cozy, but didn't have the same vibe of a mom and pop ramen shop we thought this place was.

Great place for Japanese ramen noodles. The broth from the Tonkotsu bowl was unbelievable, and the ramen noodle was nice and chewy just the way I liked them. The black mushroom and sliced bamboo shoot were a perfect complement to the bowl. I ordered the medium level spice Tonkotsu bowl with popcorn chicken on the side so it won't drown in broth and get sogged out. I will order the spicy bowl next time as the medium spice didn't quite do it for me. The ramen noodle portion is generous compared to other Ramen noodle restaurants. Their curry pork cutlet was delicious as well. The restaurant is small and there's limited parking in the rear. Staff were friendly and courtesy. Will definitely come back.

Stopped by for a quick lunch. Ordered the Kitsune Udon. Broth was flavourful, good portion of toppings, and very delicious overall. Place is small, but it felt very cozy. One-Punch Man was playing on their TV. I like that the place wasn't loud. Bookmarking for whenever I'm in the area again. There is some parking behind the restaurant, though it was not busy so I can't comment on how difficult it can be to park during peak hours.

Very yummy place. Super cozy , limited seating. They have parking in the back. I got the mild spicy ramen pork. It was delicious with just the right amount of heat. I tried milk tea for the first time, and it was delicious as well. It gets packed fast, so be patient.
