This is one of my favorite ramen spots in the South Bay. It is inside a grocery store, so expect a food court style seating arrangement. The food comes out quickly, and on days they take longer there is a whole grocery store and book store to look through. They are friendly and always get the order correct. We usually get the 36 and the 63 when we go, and I personally love how the spicy char sui miso soup!

If you have to choose one ramen shop to try, this. Classic is the one.

Recently, the soup is way too greasy!?Cash only! Fantastically flavored tonkutsu (pork bone) soup base! Can't stop sipping it up!!!! Cha-siu pork slices are very delicious with rich flavor! Ramen is chewy and springy! Can't stop slurping! Excellent!!!!
I love their salt ramen. I am sad it's getting more and more pricey, the combination menu for a regular size ball is over 20 dollars in a food court in market is really insane.

I ordered the #2 Salt Ramen here and it’s absolutely delicious and creamy. The broth is the best!This ramen spot is located in Mitsuwa Market. When you order they will give you a receipt with your order number. Back then, water was provided but now this spot doesn’t provide water to go along with the ramen. The Salt Ramen includes chashu, which I usually like since it’s very soft and tender. However, the chashu this time was a bit over cooked. The ramen noodles has a good texture and the broth was rich in flavors. I would highly recommend this spot!

Delicious ramen, cool atmosphere. This ramen shop is located inside a Japanese grocery store. Cool place to walk around as well, as you might see things you might not have seen before. Recommend this as a solid ramen option if you're looking to have ramen.

Overrated and poor service. Always short staffed on weekends! Average wait time is 45 minutes to 1 hour plus. Should close down instead! Too much MSG in their ramen as well! Close down!!!!

There's always a long line, but is it really that delicious? Every time I go there, I think, ``There's a better ramen shop out there.''
One of my favorite ramen spots in the bay for its balance and addictiveness. The broth here is neither a clear and clean like a consommé nor is it a thick milky like a tonkotsu broth. It hits a sweet spot that has allowed it to maintain popularity in the Mitsuwa food court for decades despite many ramen shops coming and going during that time.The shio (salt) ramen is my favorite, though shoyu (soy sauce) is nice for a lighter flavor and miso is just as tasty. Note that the egg is always hard cooked, so I prefer to skip it. Compliment your ramen with a drink from the supermarket!When busy, the line to order and the wait for food can be long, especially on weekends afternoons.

Tried spicy miso ramen. Was so good! Pork could have been a little softer but the broth was too good!

As good as food court ramen can get. A bit oily and the miso soup base was a bit grainy. Otherwise, ramen noodles were fine and they give you lots of chashu. Nice for a quick meal!

Tonight I ordered the Large Spicy Miso Chashu Ramen (based on the demo in the window it should be like 6? slices of chashu).For one thing I think I got shortchanged on the chashu. I got like four slices but one seemed more like a half.In general the quality just doesn't seem as good as when I first started going back around 2013.The soup is no longer as flavorful and the noodles don't seem as consistent.Also, they serve the ramen in paper cups now and the resulting presentation (or lack thereof) just doesn't look all that appetizing to me. It's just all dumped haphazardly into the cup bowl.Sure it's fast food, supermarket food court ramen, but in Japan the bowls at similar establishments look more inviting. See attached picture.This bowl + egg cost me a bit over $20....Really disappointed because even though it's never been the best shop, it was always pretty consistent and good value.I just don't think what I was served tonight was worth that at all.

I've been a regular since 2013. This is my first time in giving a review on this. The cashier guy dressed in a bandana, tall, and big has a huge atittude problem. His service is rude, unprofessional, and not friendly. He made a miscommunication of my brother, and I'm pissed how the guy made fun of him. This happened in 11/29 during closing. He was also eyeing on me at the food court and when I exit. Next time I see him, I'm calling the manager. His mannerism was utter crap. He also tried to make fun of my family.
