    Shoutout to Daniel, he was our server on a Saturday afternoon at around 6:30pm and he made sure to check up on us and that all of our requests were being met. As for the ambiance, it's great. The decor, lighting and the whole restaurant has a great vibe. The food itself was great. It was 3 of us so we ordered the large sushi boat and we also got a nigiri side with an extra set of nigiri (that's why you'll see in the picture 3 of each type of nigiri). Service, food and ambiance were all exceptional. Price is reasonable too.

    This was a great time! From the music and the ambience. It felt very on theme since it's a hidden gem. This was so fun! The service was meh, but the food was incredible. I highly recommend the katsu, the sushi, and the Korean iced coffee! The iced coffee was delicious and strong. They have a variety of sushi and ramen selections. I cannot wait to come back!! For 3 people and a fun time totally worth the $75 price. The parking was good especially infront of the shop.

    2 Spicy Tonkotsu Ramen & 1 Tonkotsu Ramen
    Cheska F.

    - Ordered the spicy tonkotsu & spicy edamame Spice difference between the spicy and original tonkotsu is UNIMAGINABLE. I can handle spice but it felt like I accidentally got the Diablo ramen. I had to make sure I got the correct one with the waiter but she dips her fries in the Diablo sauce so clearly I asked the worst person in the restaurant. This meal actually made me physically sick before I even left the restaurant. I eat out a lot and I've never experienced this type of reaction. I started to burn up on the way home & immediately threw up once I did. Edamame wasn't spicy at all. Idk how that was labeled as spicy in comparison to the ramen. Wouldn't order again, not well seasoned. I came on $8 ramen night (thank god because this wasn't worth the regular price). The wait was 1.5 hours when arriving at 8:30pm for 3. They are really nice about the waitlist tho, as long as your name is on the list they will seat you even if it's past ten. The service was pretty much nonexistent. They brought out our food & check and that was about the only time we were paid attention to even when we were constantly looking around for someone to help us. They did comp one item because the food took so long which was really nice (well past last call & to the point where the workers were cleaning up and chit chatting with one another). The guy working as a host was definitely over the whole night. It was busy to be fair but he chose to clock in so atleast act correct. Overall, no I would not eat here outside of $8 ramen days & only if I were desperate.

    This restaurant feels like a fever dream. The decor is all over the place. I do love the mural on the wall which consists of a large dragon with a nose ring looking over a village consisting of disney characters (Mike Wazowski, R2D2, timon and pumba. etc) and exactly one (1) Hello Kitty. My friend and I stopped here because it says they're theme is "hello kitty decor" and we were immediately sold. But walking in, it has more of a: leftover dorm-room decor vibe. There's nothing wrong with that, just not really what we expected. The food is definitely good! My friend and I have ordered a korean BBQ rice bowl and I've finished it each time. We also ordered the goyza and cream cheese filled crisp puffs. The chili sauce that is served with them is very good! Service is good but when they are busy it can get held up, which is understandable. The thing I like most about this place is their deals, they advertise free ramen or rice bowl for your birthday or game day deals. This place is very unique and definitely has it's own vibe. I highly recommend you check out their bathroom for an interesting wallpaper surprise.

    Inside

    The atmosphere here is fantastic -- it's a small, cozy spot with dim house lights and a warm glow from accent lighting. Very inviting and comfortable inside. The food was absolutely phenomenal. Honestly, some of the best ramen l've ever had. The Diablo Ramen is actually spicy, which I really appreciated. Unfortunately, I'm giving 2 stars because of the service and how the restaurant operates. We arrived at 8:30 PM and weren't able to place our order until about 8:50 PM. Not long after, our server informed us they were doing a "last call for food" because it was slow. What made it even more uncomfortable was that after we received our food, several staff members sat at a table by the kitchen, clearly waiting for us to finish eating so they could close and leave. It made us feel rushed and awkward, which completely ruined the experience - especially since we were meeting up with a friend we hadn't seen in years and were hoping to spend a relaxed evening catching up. By cutting the kitchen early and making guests feel like they're inconveniencing the staff, it not only takes away from the customer experience, but also costs the restaurant potential sales and a higher tip for the server. It came off as poor management and left a very disappointing impression, particularly for a first-time visit I was really excited about. The food alone would absolutely bring me back - but only if the restaurant handles slow nights differently in the future.

    Been here a few times, and the first time I came here I loved their sushi rolls and takoyaki! I came again recently and thought it felt short based on their Chicken Bowl and Karaage. They were a bit bland and tasted cheap. I feel like these items aren't for me personally. I had their Rainbow roll and their rice and the rice was a bit hard. The fish quality was decent but just didn't hit. I don't think I would die to come back here again. Although im not a huge fan, the vibes are good for dates or catching up with friends. They also have a variety of flavored soju and beer.

    This place used to be my go-to spot for food after a long day at school, but today was a complete disappointment. I found a piece of hair in my ramen, twice! Additionally, the portion of the chicken karage was smaller than usual. The hair is my last straw, and I'll never be coming back here again.

    Th atmosphere

    The tofu tasted like pancakes and wasn't seasoned well so that wasn't the best but other than that the tang in the cauliflower was so amazing and the perfect level of spice tbh and the seaweed on the California roll was some of the best, what a great date night

    We parked a few blocks away and walked over. The place was small and packed! The inside was fun with all its art on the wall. The girls restroom was funny with its Zac Efron and Channing Tatum wall. I got the Original Ebaes ramen with chicken. I wouldn't say it was anything impressive. The chicken was pretty dry which brought the dish down.

    [[DL] TONKOTSU RAMEN, Thai Tea, Iced Green Tea
    Penelope

    Arrived at around 7:45pm on a Saturday night for a party of 2 and was immediately seated at the bar with the restaurant being almost full. Ordered the Tonkatsu Ramen, Thai Tea, and Iced Green Tea. The noodles in the ramen were a bit overcooked and chewy to my liking. However, the broth, meat, and overall dish was tasty. Everything was fairly priced and I would certainly come back again! Our waiter was very attentive to our needs and our orders came out at a timely manner. Parking was fairly easy to find and the restaurant was pretty clean and well put together.

    Tan tan noodles, chicken karaage, french fries and Ebaes original ramen
    Lynn V.

    Very cozy and interesting place. Upon opening the wooden door, I was surprised by the decor and mirrors definitely made it look bigger than it actually was. We opted to sit on the right bar like table side. Guess we were there during happy hour so ordered off that and it was pretty great. The Ebaes original ramen is a flavor I've never had before and my hubby loved it, we even took the broth home so we can enjoy it more with our own noodles/rice. The tan tan was ok, very peanuty and kind of dry. Chicken karaage looked small but it was very crunchy and super tasty with the sweet and sour sauce. Truffle fries were good. I also ordered a peach iced tea and they just add the syrup which is at the bottom so be sure to stir well. Service was pretty quick at first but then it seemed they got busy and was taking a bit to get the check to pay but it was still very attentive and nice. Definitely would recommend if you're in the area since it's so unique!

I ordered the Salmon Ikura Bowl and my guest had the Tonkotsu Yama. My order came with miso soup and a small salad, both of which were delicious. The salad had the perfect dressing - not overwhelming but flavorful. My tuna bowl was great. The tuna was perfectly tender and looked beautiful. My guest really enjoyed his Salmon Ikura Bowl. Many other nearby restaurants had really long lines and wait times. But I doubt their food was any better than what we had here. I highly recommend this restaurant.

We ordered a chicken karaage to start and it wasn't bad, nothing to write home about though. Since the pieces were large, it was slightly awkward to eat without any plates, and I was just catching the crumbs with my hand (didn't have the ramens at the time). Also got a yuzu beer to try and it was delicious, nice yuzu flavor with some tanginess. I had the shoyu with duck while my husband had the yama tonkotsu that came with fragrant black garlic oil. The tonkotsu is not one of those rich, milky, creamy ones and I personally like these lighter ones more. I also enjoyed the shoyu which had a pleasant depth of flavor, but it felt like it was relying too heavily on MSG for umami. Noodles came out chewy. Definitely not the best ramens I've had but are some of the better ones in LA. Our server was friendly, as were the rest of the staff. Service was quick. The restaurant decor feels straight out of Japan, an extra bit of fun. There's a $10 paid lot behind this block of buildings that's convenient for anything in this part of Little Tokyo.

It's a typical sized place for a restaurant on First St. (I.e. small & narrow). They do make use of every space though. Parking is...Little Tokyo...sigh. IF you're lucky enough to get street parking, go buy a lotto ticket on your way home. Parking structures near by. We shared: Agedashi eggplant: Japanese eggplant beautifully "fan" sliced.

Fan cut Japanese eggplant, kabocha pumpkin, shrimp tempura & two (2) shiso leaves. All VERY crisp not oily. Warm dashi side had deep umami rich flavor. Probably made the legit kombu & bonita flake method. #1 ordered the Miso carbonara: garlicky carbonara served with their signature house-rolled out udon. Wonderful dish. Portion sizes were adequate. #2 ordered the Uni carbonara: same garlicky carbonara with uni bits strewn about. Estimating one whole uni broken. This actually works for ease of eating. Plus, uni ranges in the $18/oz on the low end to $60 or more/oz on the higher end. Yes we love & appreciate their gonads. Udon noodles were chewy, bouncy & worth the wait. Yeah yeah....the dough is purchased. Not house made. But, seriously you've seen the YouTube videos of restaurants specializing in Japan? Yes there are places in LA who make their dough & roll it out. It's Hella lot of work! Yamachan produces large scale udon/ramen in San Jose. It's fine. Let them work out the dough to water ratio. Also portion size was decent since we shared a couple apps. Might want to consider the option of extra noodles. The table to our right full of younger male co-workers were there to socialize. They probably all grabbed an afternoon snack.

During the pandemic, I loved ordering their ramen kit and making our own tuskemen. However, I have to say the quality of the food from this location seems to be poorer. I ordered the spicy pork tsukemen. The noodles were a bit soft that I think they were overcooked for a few seconds longer. It didn't have the chewy bouncy texture that I was expecting. The broth seemed to be missing a few toppings that was promised in the menu, there was no green onion, chopped chashu and menma. Overall I enjoyed the ramen, and it was still good, but just not as good as I remembered. The service was just okay as well. I did think the waitress tried her best, but she was the only one person working during Sunday lunchtime. It was very hard to get her attention. I can't help but feel a bit disappointed with this experience. I'm not sure if I'm going to come back.

    I've visited Kouraku a handful of times over the years, and it remains a reliable spot for Japanese…read morecomfort food. They're open late, making it a great option for satisfying those evening cravings. The menu is incredibly extensive, featuring just about every Japanese comfort dish you can think of. From omurice and ramen to curry katsu and much more. With so many choices, sometimes it can be a little overwhelming to decide what to order. This time, I kept it simple and went with the shrimp omelet over pork fried rice topped with gravy. It was comforting, satisfying, and exactly what I was in the mood for. Our friends ordered ramen and an oyakodon, and everyone seemed happy with their meals. Kouraku also serves alcohol, making it an easy spot for a casual dinner with friends. The service was friendly, and the food definitely hit the spot. They accept credit cards, and I even spotted a robot helping deliver some of the dishes.

    I came after some event and tried a few food items from the gravy omelette to some of my friend's…read morepork tonkatsu curry (not pictured). The curry was actually pretty amazing. It had a deep and robust flavor. I don't think I've had that flavor of curry anywhere else but it was deeply heartwarming and satisfying. I really did enjoy this dish a lot. However, the pork cutlet isn't wasn't the best cutlet I've had. I would put it in the middle range of tonkatsus out there. While good, it didn't have the crisp flakiness you'd find in a specialty restaurant that specializes in just tonkatsu. However, it is still good. Next up was the omelette with gravy with fried rice that had both shrimp and pork. I feel the egg of the omelette was well made. It had that texture and consistency you would really want from an omelette of that nature. The pork and shrimp fried rice tasted a little light in the seasoning and flavor, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. The gravy was also lighter than a heavy gravy as well. When the food came out, I thought the meal would be deeply heavy due to the quantity and the gravy, but it still felt a bit light and manageable, which was kind of outside of my expectations, so that was pretty interesting. I do like the chicken soup this comes with. It has a nice flavorful broth where you could tell it was made well too. The service here is pretty good and attentive. The ambiance is nice but pretty busy. Also, if you come on the weekend, expect to wait a bit because a lot of people do want to eat here and the line can become a bit backed up.
