One of if not my favorite ramen place in the South Bay area. I don't understand why there's not a waiting list. Today we walked in and the whole place was empty on a Saturday at 12:30 pm. Definitely needs a Keith Lee visit. Their black shisen ramen is one of my favorite bowls of ramen in los angeles. Only a few spots like tsujita (and annex) are higher on the list for me.

Hands down my favorite ramen place. My go-to is the Red Miso Ramen and I always add an egg. So much flavor. The ramen noodles they use for the Red Miso Ramen are so unique. It almost reminds me of the noodles that are used for Pad Thai. The variation in the noodle adds a nice texture. Their fried calamari is so crispy and tender. So delicious and definitely a great comfort food!

Fair warning, ramen not great.Not fresh. Not cheap. Okay at best. There’s a reason why it’s empty.Too many better options, Go elsewhere.

So-so. Many other better choices in the area, but our friend said place was close by. Pork broth based soup broth is thick. The slice of pork is thick and cold, I would have preferred it was warm before placing in broth. The whole chicken wings were large and probably the best thing we ordered. Will pass on the takoyaki which was only half cooked and it was a treasure hunt to find the octopus.

Ordered through Uber EatsWhen u order and the options on toppings and noodles pop up just know they are add ins, the soup already has basic topping (this not in the soup description) we had coconut ramen comes with shisen noodle cashu pork bean sprouts and lettuce… other toppings are extra. Including the noodle choice they are not a substitute… can be confusing…So we ordered extra noodles n extra toppings … all sides were not very tasteful fried chicken had little flavor and was stale and soggy, fried squid was also soggy n chewy flavor wasn’t bad, gyoza burnt taste really took away from the filling left bad taste in the mouth, garlic edamame burnt as well not very tasty. I dnt recommend ordering delivery …. As for the ramen coconut broth it was a bit bland spice level was good and tasted good once it was all put together in the bowl… would like to try again but deff not delivery. Also ordered at 9pm

She just put up the "closed" sign as soon as she saw me walk up when they close at 1030 and the sign above the door says "open".
Bomb ramen! We had the white miso and coconut ramen and it really hit the spot. It was fast, delicious, and exactly what we were looking for.

Open late Takes credit card. It's in a plaza with lots of parking options. Offers sapparo on tap, can serve pitchers. Small, place, seats like 24 people. The price point is perfect. this was what ramen places used to be priced 10 years ago but now the rest of LA is super expensive, I'd come back just for the prices. Ramen is cooked a little al dente. The soup comes out piping hot. Coconut ramen (11.95)- like tonkotsu ramen with a Thai curry flavor. It's very creamy. Chashu was average, it's like inconsistent, sometimes soft, sometimes over cooked. Red shisen ramen (12.95)- garlic flavor, the flavor is average. The level 1 (lowest level) spicy is really hot. If not a fan of spicy, stick to the black shisen.

I haven't been to this place for years. I think it was before the bake change and probably ownership change. Service was good the waitress was friendly. The ramen itself was pretty bad. I think it's the first time I got noodle that's all ganged together instead of loosened up at a ramen restaurant. The pork (in Paiko ramen) was dry and plain. The white miso soup didn't taste all that good either.

A great spot for a quick and flavorful ramen! I got the spicy miso ramen and it was delicious. The broth was full of flavor and spice. The noodles were very thick and fresh. Tons of options to choose from. And the service was very quick. They do have a small dining area, but we were still able to get seated pretty quickly.

we've been a regular customers here but the new lady that works here does not know how to multi task. she said to wait 20mins to take a togo order then another 30mins to prepare the order. she wants us to wait 20 mins just to take our order. we also try to call ahead of time but she is not even answering the calls. we know the other crew that works here and they were very polite and nice the new lady is mean. even talk to other customers she also said that the waitress is rude. hope this can get resolve.
