The broth tastes delicious, but the pork slices are too fatty. The service is professional and welcomed. A nice and cozy place to sit.

I have lived 5 minutes away from this ramen shop since mid-2022. And it wasn't until an idyllic PTO-fueled Monday afternoon that I bothered to check this place out. In my 5 years living in SoCal, I've tried countless ramen shops and they all were great and stand out in one way or another. I've baptized ramen as “The only soup worth eating” and this shop further proves the veracity, authenticity and validity of that statement. The broth is rich, the pork chasu is cooked to perfection, the thin noodles have the right amount of chew and the gyoza is flavorful. Nothing that you could not find at any other competent ramen shop, such as Hiro Nori, but this is located at the heart of Old Pasadena, the locale gives it a boost from 4 stars to 5 stars. I do wish they also offered Tsukemen, though.

EVERYTHING IS SUPER DELICIOUS!!!!! Try everything, trust me, you won't regret it!Parking: Sometimes there is a lot of space, but most of the time, it might take a little time to find space.Kid-friendliness: There are high chairs.
Worst customer service here. The lady at the door was rude and should treat everyone the same ...if your going to tell customers to wait outside then ALL the customers should wait outside.

This is a small but filled of warmth restaurant. You need to wait in line for a while but is quick. The ramen here is authentic and the soup flavor is pretty nice and rich. I like their teriyaki chicken wings, it tasted sooo great. The gyoza has 8 pieces but not expensive. They have three flavors of ramen and you can choose the quantity of meat. Also they have thin and thick noodles can choose. The service here is friendly and serving speed is fast. The atmosphere here is warm and delicate. Great!I stumbled into this small ramen shop by chance. There are only three types, clear tonkotsu, heavy tonkotsu and spicy miso. However, the soup is great, rich and not too salty, and the meat is very smooth and tender but not greasy. I ordered the teriyaki chicken wings. Very, very recommended! The skin is very crispy, the meat is super soft and tender! The fried dumplings are average but not very generous. The service and environment are pretty good!

The best ramen in Los Angeles, I would even say in the USDietary restrictions: If your on a diet eat the edamame and light soup with less pork fat.Parking: Parking is pricey, there is a parking garage 90 minutes $1 south of the restaurant.

The ramen is delicious especially the tonkotsu soup base. I also like their noodles a lot. My only mistake was that I forgot to add the egg. I also ordered their gyoza which was tasty.

Easily the best ramen I’ve ever tried! Small location with fast paced lines when it is busy with a wait. Will always order a Koku ramen :)

Good ramen especially on a rainy day. I deeply enjoyed their spicy broth.There are a lot of counter seats so a lot of people moving in and out. Is more of a place for a quick meal, especially if you get seated at the counter.They are often overwhelmed with customers so it might take a minute to get an attention of a server. Took me a while to get the check and pay.

Food was great, service was great and will definitely come back.
Tatsunoya's ramen is a comforting delight with rich broth, perfectly cooked noodles, and flavorful toppings. The cozy ambiance enhances the overall experience, making it a top choice for ramen enthusiasts in pasadena.

I didn’t pay the tip because I saw the lady touched 2 trash cans moving around and then touched my ramen bowl, served it to me….. of course she didn’t wash her hands before serving the ramen to me….. it was really disgusting ? and I can’t believe they do that when clients can see them at the hall……………..
