    Spicy Chicken and Shrimp Combo. It was the day special
    Hugo M.

    Small mom and pop teriyaki bowl in Downtown La Verne. Order and pick up. Small option for outdoor seating. Mainly meant for on the go. Very nice owners. Waited less than 8 mins. Definitely will come back to try other plates.

    Fried dumplings, cooked to perfection but the sauce killed it for me

    First and foremost my cost $26 which is kinda costly but I went with the yelp reviews. So, i ordered the gyoza or dumplings as we know them by that. They were pan fried just the way I like them. The sauce disappointed me, it tasted like soy sauce and im not a fan. I go to the Asian market and get the better dipping sauce. As for the meal, I got the spicy beef and it was dry. Spicy level was not up to par. Nothing to brag about but these yelp reviews give you a different perspective so I had to try it out due to the out pour of the the reviews. Me personally I won't come to this place. I've had way better at other teriyaki places than this and for much cheaper. Thats just my take on it and how I feel about this place. I don't discourage of anyone trying this place I just my opinion and everyone else has there own. Now you know, peace.

    Not a fan of their Stir Fry noodles
    Kelly M.

    Ordered the Garlic Sesame Shrimp plate and the Chili Lime Shrimp and Stir Fried Noodles with Beef . My least favorite were The stir fried noodles yaki-soba, which I will not order again. There is no visable signage, just look for the rattan. You order from the sidewalk window. Good portions, and fair prices keep the locals coming.

    WOW, the food was amazing. Staff is so kind and provided great service. It felt like I was ordering form family with a nice ambiance. First time here but definitely not my last. Perfect portion and the glass noodles were delicious. Thank you!!!!

    Wow just discovered this place! Would come back. Fresh and good. Will be sharing this place

    Real good chicken bulgogi
    Brandon C.

    Hidden hole in the wall , look out for it next to the barbershop. Decided to go with the chicken bulgogi very satisfying.

    Teriyaki chicken bowl
    Evelyn U.

    Love this spot!! In the heart of downtown La Verne, easy access to the front window, and the most friendly service. The restaurant is a little hole in the wall, but so clean and originated. The food tastes homemade, and you can tell it's made with love and care.

    Great message very happy
    Christian B.

    Food is amazing. Customer service is even better, ordered over the phone and could tell the man helping me was very nice and down to earth It's a hole in the wall, literally a drive-thru window you walk up to. They had like 3 small tables outdoor, 2 chairs each. Although indoor, these are my favorite types of spots. Low-key, whole in the wall with gewd food.

    Curry Chicken Bowl
    Joy J.

    This is the type of place where you only order at the window then take-out, but man is this place delicious. You get such great portions for the price, and the food itself is so comforting and absolutely delicious. It tastes authentic and there's ton of variety based on the type of Asian cuisine you enjoy, and I got the curry rice with chicken! The service itself was so sweet and very quick. Perfect location right next to the university of you're hungry after class!

    Spicy chicken and shrimp with rice, veggies, and glass noodles
    Mirrella B.

    I used to eat here multiple times a week during my college years. This a hole-in-the-wall/mom and pop shop. I've tried their bowls, curry noodles, and ramen. Everything is fresh and flavorful. They have expanded their menu and also have other options. I opted to try their daily special: spicy chicken + shrimp, with a side of rice, veggies, and glass noodles for $10.50 + tax. The chicken and shrimp were well seasoned. It brought memories back. I also love the chilies in vinegar that they include. I need to stop by for lunch or dinner more often. I highly recommend stopping by and trying their food. They now accept card, which is convenient if you don't carry cash. They have a small seating area with a couple of tables and a bench. You could also walk over toward the library and enjoy your meal picnic style on the grass.

    My new go-to lunch spot! Bowl House usually caters to the staff and students at University of La Verne, thankfully I started working in the area so I have also started coming here regularly for lunch. The food is reasonably priced and is always delicious and fresh. I've ordered two items so far, the stir fried noodles with shrimp and curry with chicken. The portion sizes are great and I always find myself with leftovers to take home. The restaurant only has a window to order, and there's limited seating outside (no indoor seating). But there's usually vacant tables or you can walk across the street for more bench seating. This place is a small mom and pop family business so please come support them if you are craving some delicious casual Asian-fusion food in the area!

    Bulgogie beef
    Noe S.

    Let me start off by saying that the food here is SO good. Everything is full of flavor. I got their bulgogie beef, which comes with steamed rice and glass noodles, and it did not disappoint. The woman working was also very friendly and always smiling so I would say great service as well. This place is almost like a small stand where you order through a window and they just hand you your food so there's really no ambiance, just grab and go. Now for the reason that they got four stars from me. The portion of the food is very small for the price. This plate alone after taxes is almost $17 and I am still hungry! You can run to a Hawaiian bbq joint and get almost double the food for the price. Either they need to have bigger portions or they need to lower their prices. I loved the food but unfortunately this isn't somewhere you can eat for lunch regularly.

    This is the quintessential hole in the wall. They only do take-out and have 1 little table outside with 2 chairs. The couple that run this spot is super nice. The food is awesome and very inexpensive. The bulgogi beef was excellent and the beef was super flavorful and the right level of crispy. The tofu bowl was fresh and tasty as well. They don't have any signage so it is easy to miss. It's right next to the barbershop.

    Menkoi Ya Ramen in downtown Claremont is everything you want when you're craving a comforting,…read moredeeply satisfying bowl of noodles--and honestly, it might ruin other ramen places for you. The broth is the real star here. Rich, flavorful, and clearly simmered for hours, it has that perfect depth that makes you want to keep sipping long after the noodles are gone. Whether you go for tonkotsu, shoyu, or spicy miso, each one is packed with layers of flavor that feel both authentic and thoughtfully crafted. The noodles have the ideal texture--springy, chewy, and never mushy. You can tell they're made or cooked with care because they hold up beautifully in the broth without getting lost in it. The toppings are just as impressive: tender chashu pork that practically melts in your mouth, perfectly soft-boiled eggs with jammy yolks, fresh scallions, and nori that adds just the right finishing touch. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, the kind of place you can go alone for a comforting meal or bring friends for a casual hangout. Service is quick and friendly, and the staff seems genuinely happy to help you customize your bowl exactly how you like it. Portion sizes are generous, and everything comes out hot and fresh. It's also surprisingly consistent--every visit tastes just as good as the last, which is rare and really appreciated. If you're looking for ramen that feels both comforting and high quality, this place absolutely delivers. It's the kind of spot you start craving before you've even left.

    Super good experience today! We got seated right away and the staff were very attentive and…read morehelpful! We shared a fried gyoza appetizer. Perfectly fried but the sauce was a bit too sweet. One of us tried the strawberry yuzuade (which apparently had a strange after taste). We all ordered the chashu spicy miso ramen--two of us ordered level 3 spiciness (honestly level 2 which is the default spicy level would have been spicy enough!) Delicious!!

    Well, two years ago I ended my first review by saying, "You haven't seen the last of us Kazama…read moreSushi! We will be coming back a lot!" Safe to say, we meant it. Two years later, Kazama has become our go to sushi spot. My wife and I have been back more times than I can count and it's one of those places where we already know we're going to leave happy. The sushi is consistently fresh and delicious, the sauces are amazing, and the spicy garlic edamame is STILL one of my favorites. We've tried plenty of different rolls since that first visit and have found quite a few favorites along the way. The service has also continued to be friendly and welcoming every time we come in. We love the hole in the wall vibes this spot gives. I always think the best compliment you can give a restaurant is becoming a regular. We said we found our new favorite spot two years ago and Kazama has definitely earned that title. Still an easy 5 stars from us!

    I constantly drive by this place and have been wanting to try it for some time. We went last night,…read moreon Friday night around 8:15/8:30. We walked in thru the door closest to the street. As we walked in we waited a couple minutes until a waiter approached us. She asked if we wanted inside or outside. We said outside (didn't realize there was an outside). She told us to go straight to the back. We go to the back and this young man is there, we say we want a table. This older Asian man (we believe might be the owner or a manager because of his rude demeanor) steps in and says if we have our name down. We said we don't that we had just walked in and were told to come back here. He seemed flustered said there were 2 people in line and then proceeded to say, "no you are sitting inside." He began to scurry us back inside. I was confused at was happening as his tone was very rude. I asked him "im sorry, what is happening?" He said "you are sitting inside." During this interaction, I realized that the seats outside had a nicer ambiance as there was live music so I understand why there was a wait. But it was rude the way he handled it. I normally would leave any establishment if I was treated this way but we were on a date night and had other plans at 10 so we decided to stay. Once he sat us down inside, We waited a while before we got asked for our drink order. We put our food order in and it took approximately 30 mins to come out. At most sushi restaurants they stagger your food. Here, I observed they gave each table their whole order before moving on to the next which is probably why we waited so long for our food. We ordered the Washington roll, Innout roll, Salmon delight, Hawaiian roll and yellowtail nigiri and salmon belly nigiri and oysters. They brought that all out at the same time for our small table for 2. The portion of the nigiri was generous and the quality was good. The size of the rolls were pretty big. Too big for one bite. The rolls kept following apart when picking them up. The oysters never came out. When we were close to done eating our waitress finally checked in, asked if the oysters came out, I said no. She apologized profusely. We said she could cancel the order and she did. There was this older lady that was bringing out our food, I asked her for spicy mayo and she just stared at me. I thought it might have just been me but even my partner noticed the weird interaction. Every single interaction at this restaurant was very off putting. The food was decent, not worth the experience in my opinion. My partner manages businesses as a living so he has an eye for things. He had things to say about their cleanliness. He also observed a waiter sneezing into his hands. He normally gives a lot of grace but he was the first one to say he will not be coming back Which he hasn't said about a restaurant ever.
