I've eaten here multiple times since they first opened, really hoping it would improve, but…read moreunfortunately, I still do not like this restaurant. The biggest issue for me is the soup. Every soup I've tried has been incredibly bland and lacks the deep, rich beef or pork flavor that you would expect. There's just no depth or boldness to the broth, which is especially disappointing for a restaurant where the soup is supposed to be the main focus. I came here again today with a group of coworkers, all of whom are Korean, with the majority of us having grown up in Korea. Unfortunately, we all had the exact same reaction. None of us enjoyed the soup, and the overwhelming complaint was that everything tasted bland. Even the kimchi was disappointing. The radish kimchi lacked the crisp, crunchy texture it should have, and the regular kimchi was missing the strong, punchy flavor you would expect. The interior is also very bare-bones and feels like the restaurant was opened with the bare minimum needed to operate. That alone wouldn't bother me if the food made up for it, but unfortunately, it doesn't. It's honestly disappointing because I feel like so many Korean restaurants that open in the SGV end up falling short, and unfortunately, this place is another one that falls into that category. After multiple visits, I can't say I've had a meal here that made me want to come back.

Ordered chicken, Lomo saltado and an aguadito. Everything was delicious, the chicken had a good char but not burnt and yet still very juicy. Rice and beans were flavorful and the beef was tender and not greasy. The chicken had a unique seasoning that I haven't tasted in the Peruvian style chicken before, but it was good and different. The place was busy and the staff were still friendly and managed to get everything in the order correct.

It also came with a side of tortilla and they give you a good amount of sauce to go with it. The chicken was flavorful with nice char and not very dry like a lot of rotisserie chicken (see picture). The rice was also seasoned and aromatic. The beans were just okay, a little watery. The red sauce had a strong kick and spicy in a good way. The aji was nice and had a bit of spice as well. The pico de gallo was standard and the chimichuri was okay. It's a smaller establishment with some seating inside, but seems most people take it to go. The place felt fairly full when we arrived. The staff were very friendly. Overall was about $37 with tax. Very good quality and quantity at that price!

The herbal soup and the black bone chicken soup both come with the black bone chicken. It has a lot of bones but it's a unique type of chicken that's much healthier than the regular chicken!

Lots of flavor but still tasted healthy. Perfect bowl of noodles for a cold day. Out of the herbal noodle soup and the black bone noodle soup, both were really delicious. They all come with rice noodle. It was the perfect portion size. The lady working was nice and came by to check up on us.

Recently, I noticed the lines disappeared so we came for an early dinner. The interior is pretty cool. It's kit just tables and chairs but the design element is unique. Some seating are inside a honeycomb shaped booth, some are just in the middle of the dining area. We were seated at a table that resembles a birdcage. There's a lot of wood and warm colors, which makes the ambiance stand out over other ramen places. We ordered a ramen, omurice with katsu, some skewers and popcorn chicken. The spicy ramen was delicious, but there was no soft boiled egg as shown on the menu photo. All I saw was a broken egg white at the bottom of the bowl. 4/5. The omurice was nicely done. The egg was perfectly soft and silky with a nice curry sauce in the side. The katsu that came with it was crispy, hot and tasty. 4.5/5. The popcorn chicken was great. Perfect seasoning and crispy. 5/5. The skewers however, were the low point of our dinner. They did not appear they were cooked fresh. The meats were dry and tough. The scallops were OK but tiny. Chicken was average. The whole order did not satisfy. We also got an Amazing Lemonade and Thai iced tea. The lemonade was a very refreshing drink, and the Thai tea is just like all other places. Our server, unfortunately forgot his name, was excellent. Very personable and great at describing flavors. The friendliness extends to the rest of the staff too. It's a nice place to check out. Note their parking lot is fairly small, and shared with Paris Baguette next door. It's a 4.5, rounded up.

Kyuramen is a restaurant chain that has gained viral popularity for its contemporary approach to…read moreJapanese cuisine. We stopped by to try their Dine LA deal, which was $65 for a dinner set that included a choice of two appetizers, entrées, drinks, and desserts. The interior featured light wooden accents and honeycomb-style seating that created a cozy ambiance. Service was efficient, and our server was kind and attentive throughout the meal. **Yakitori Platter: 2/5** Unfortunately, the meats were dry and overcooked, while the skewers lacked the signature charred, smoky flavor I typically look for in yakitori. **Crispy Sweet Chili Wings: 2/5** Tossed in a sticky, sweet and spicy glaze, the wings were pleasantly crispy, though an unusual, artificial aftertaste made them difficult to enjoy. **Kyushu Spicy Tonkotsu Ramen: 5/5** This was everything I look for in a good bowl of ramen. The broth was creamy with a bold kick of spice, and the noodles tasted fresh with a satisfying chew. A jammy soft-boiled egg and tender slices of chashu pork made for the perfect finishing touches, with corn adding a subtle sweetness that balanced the richness of the broth. **Tonkatsu Omurice: 2.5/5** A popular Japanese comfort dish, Kyuramen's omurice was paired with a side of crispy tonkatsu. The omelet was incredibly fluffy with a soft, silky texture, but both the chicken fried rice and demi-glace were rather bland and lacking in depth. **Thai Iced Tea: 3.5/5** Fairly standard as far as Thai iced tea goes, this version was smooth with distinct notes of vanilla, warm spices, and just the right amount of sweetness. **Amazing Lemonade: 4/5** Bright and refreshing, the lemonade also had a hint of cucumber that softened its tartness. **Matcha Pudding with Red Bean: 4/5** Velvety with a custard-like consistency, the pudding had a pronounced matcha presence and was served with fresh milk on the side. The red bean complemented the earthy bitterness of the matcha. **Japanese Cherry Blossom Jelly: 2/5** This dessert was visually stunning, with edible sakura flowers suspended inside and crystal boba adding a firm, slightly crunchy contrast to its bouncy texture. While the jelly itself was muted in flavor, the accompanying syrup intensified the floral profile, which ultimately became too strong for my taste. Although Kyuramen had its highlights, several dishes fell short in terms of execution. The Dine LA set was a good opportunity to sample a variety of offerings, but I'd stick to just the ramen on a future visit.

I always order the no.1 at new pho places as it's always the same combination and it was really good. Northern style pho broth which is a mild broth but not in a bland way, very tasty, clean and didn't have any taste of msg or bouillon/dashi. the typical cheat code a lot of places seem to use to pack some flavor. im not saying it was void of any but I couldn't make it out being asian. hidden gem that could rival any Westminster pho. nice ladies and clean bathroom. definitely will be back.

I'm shocked this place has such a good yelp rating…read more Pho was good, 7.5/10. Meats were soft and cooked right. Broth is on the lighter side but still good. Noodles were thin and cooked properly. The bone rib was a hard miss. It was very chewy and almost hard, as if it was old. Cooked a while ago and sitting for someone to order it. The rib itself is 4/10, if 5/10 meant acceptable. I ONLY recommend this spot if you're on your lunch break and gotta stay in the area for work. Otherwise, you should make the drive to eat better. I assume the good rating they have is due to lack of competition in the immediate area. They have a B rating as if 9/25/2024! 1.5 years and they still haven't made the effort to get right? I've eaten in many hole in the wall spots and have pretty normal standards for cleanliness as I understand how things get. But this place made me feel dirty. I'm a dude who can just stand and piss over any drain, but the restroom was disgusting. If my family was with me I would feel horrible allowing my wife or kids to have to use it. Washing your hands would make you feel dirtier, that's how bad it was. Bottom line. 6/10 If you must remain in this area, go for it. The pho is good enough. If you have options and time 4/10, steer clear from here until they put in the effort. If the bathroom didn't gross me out so much, I woulda took a photo.

So I went into my trusty Yelp and found this place. Going here was a great decision because we have been good customers ever since. PARKING: It has never been an issue to park here because if the above ground level parking is all taken, there is underground parking with a good amount of parking spots. WHAT WE ORDERED: As you can see from my pictures, my mom, g/f and I have ordered a lot of different things on the menu. Some of them are no longer on the menu, but wished they would have kept it. Some of the hits include: - Bossam with the pork belly (putting in the spicy radish, baby shrimp and garlic are a must!) - Any of their soups (the kalbi tahng and soon dae soup (soon dae only for me because the other pig parts are a bit too chewy) - their cold buckwheat noodles. On a hot day they put some soup flavored slush so keep the dish cold. - their soft tofu soup (soon doo boo). You can't go wrong with the various flavors that they offer. - Their pork neck soup - With winter fast approaching (hopefully because of this stupid Super Duper Extraordinary El Nino What I also really like is the fact that they have items that are good/catered to both summer and winter, so despite it being a blood sausage place (soon dae), they have other things on the menu that are quite good! VERDICT: As previously mentioned, my mom, g/f and I have been good customers of this place and will continue to go here. The family that runs this place are awesome. The wait staff are nice and attentive and the food are a chef's kiss! SIDE NOTE: Another great thing about this place is the fact that there are a great number of places down the street that you can go to for dessert: Paris Baguette, Old Ferry Donut and Bopo. So whether you are on a date or with a group of friends, there are options for an awesome 2-cha.

The broth is rich and deeply flavorful without being heavy, the chicken is tender and perfectly cooked every time, and even the sauces--something most places treat as an afterthought--are incredibly well-balanced and addictive. It's rare to find a place that does everything right and continues to do so year after year. This is one of those rare places.
