You will feel like going to a small ramen shop in Japan. The broth is flavourful and not salty like many other ramen restaurants. They have lunch specials with a combo of hakata ramen and a side dish, which is a good deal. The staff was friendly, and service was quick.

This is hands down the best ramen I’ve ever had. It’s honestly not even close.

Can't remember the last time I came here. Pro about 5+ years ago. Gotta say service, prices and quality hasn't changed much.. still the same great place for a quick ramen stop especially during these colder rainy days glad I revised, it's going to b part of my rotation now!

I was excited to try this place because of the positive reviews. Service was great, my food on the other hand was disappointing to say the least. My spicy ramen was all salt no spice and my noodles were sad noodles. The musubi was cold and rice was dry( I tried dipping it in my broth, but that didn’t taste any better). The karaage was okay, over all I wouldn’t drive out of my way to go there. It could have been an off day for the kitchen, but off on too many things for me to recommend.

The ramen broth is good, not too salty. The additions just cost so much to make it worth a decent bowl since you add egg, bamboo and others. $12 can soon be like $18. Definitely worth it to get combo

Love the small quaint but busy yakitori atmosphere. Gives me Japan vibes! Sat at the bar area. Was great seeing the yakitori being cooked right in front of you.All the skewers were well seasoned. I specifically loved the shrimp, squid w basil, okra, and shishoto peppers.Great dining experience if you're in the mood for good yakitori in the OC area.

Pretty good ramen and Japanese curry in a perfect little ramen shop. Fully customizable with lots of toppings, sides, and appetizers to make sure you get it exactly how you want it. Nice to be able to sit at the bar or grab a small table, but don't bother trying to come here with a large group. Nice view of the clean kitchen and enjoyable ambiance. We came when it opened, so we had no problem getting seats, and people starting trickling in shortly thereafter.

Nice service and good food. My only complaint is I wish I had ordered a larger size beef bowl. It was so good it was gone too fast.

Service was great. Restaurant was cozy and clean. Food however was below expectations and average. If you are 30min away, forget about it.

Probably the best ramen in LA/OC. I’ve been to this and their Gardena locations several times without disappointment.

First let me start of by saying i love this place i think they make some of the best ramen in so cal . Im giving a poor review because i have to be honest your bathroom smells like death and this is an on going problem. I have been eating at this location for about 6 years and over the last year i have come in a few times and the restrooms smell was so bad i could taste it across the other side of the restaurant. Either the land lord needs to fix this or you as a restaurant group need to step it up because this is unacceptable . To be clear this smells like a sewage issue from the pipes
