    THE SPECIALS

    The food is delicious and the service is very good and nice. The restaurant has a great atmosphere, very good music for the moment.

    Great food and service!! Ramen and California rolls are good. The place is also decorated nicely

    Spicy Pork Belly

    Ambiance was amazing! Such a cute relaxing place. The wait was a little long but worth it. I got the spicy pork belly & popcorn chicken, 10/10!

    Don't forget to put spicy sauce on top yum yum

    Great food. Great Service. This has become one of your favorites spot. Spicy is truly spicy but delicious. Atmosphere is small and cozy, the service has been great and pretty quick. Chef has provided a great personal experience.

    My husband and I have been craving ramen, so we decided to try this place for the first time. The restaurant itself is very cute and cozy, but unfortunately our experience was disappointing. The service was okay but a bit slow. We ordered chicken ramen, spam musubi, yakisoba, a soda, and the Pinnacle lemonade. The lemonade was extremely sweet and honestly tasted like old, rotten pineapple. I sent it back and let the waitress know I just didn't like it and wouldn't be drinking it. An owner came over to ask about the lemonade. When we explained that it was just too sweet for us and tasted off, he repeatedly insisted that it's "very popular" and that "everybody loves it." He then told us it didn't taste rotten and implied we were wrong. The interaction felt dismissive and rude rather than helpful. As for the food: * The ramen was very bland and lacked flavor. * The yakisoba was extremely salty. We actually ended up mixing the yakisoba into the ramen to give it some flavor, and it was better that way. * The spam musubi tasted good, but unfortunately we found hair in it after we had already eaten most of it. My husband also ordered the tempura sampler, which according to the menu includes shrimp, popcorn chicken, calamari, onion, and potato. However, it also came with fried jalapeños, which were not listed on the menu. My husband bit into one unexpectedly, which wasn't pleasant since we weren't told they were included. After we left, neither of us felt well. We both became nauseous and had stomach pain shortly after eating. While we can't say for certain what caused it, it honestly felt like possible food poisoning, which made the whole experience even worse. Overall, while the restaurant has a cute atmosphere, the food quality, cleanliness concerns, and the way the owner handled feedback left a bad impression. We really wanted to like this place, but based on this experience, we wouldn't return or recommending.

    Great deal for less than $15 called Kuromi rice plate. Service was quick and attentive. Ambiance is cozy and welcoming. I will return for sure.

    My first time here was underwhelming to say the least. We came on a rainy day, they only had 1 person serving tables, waiting for over an hour for our food. And over 30 min for just waters. Decided to come back because the ramen was actually pretty great. And the older gentleman was very nice. This time to go, currently waiting for our food. It is so nice in here, and the owner just decorated for Christmas!

    Will definitely come back again, I got the mild beef Ramen so delicious. Great Customer service. I even took two more bowls to go for my children to try, location is small so seating might be a problem but it's worth the wait see you soon again.

    Sadly, I was trying to support a local Business, since I work at a school nearby. 1. It took over an hour to deliver my food, thankfully my uber eats currier was patient. 2. They did not include chopsticks, wasabi/ginger and only 2 napkins. 3. I ordered two rolls and edamame. The sushi was fishy, soggy seaweed, my so called "crispy" onion (was soggy) albacore roll. Sadly I will never order from there again. Uber eats had it as a 4.5, not sure what Yelp has it as... but it doesn't deserve more than a 1-2.

    I'm a first-time visitor to this place. I had to drive from San Diego to LA for an appointment, and the second stop was this gem. I highly recommend it! Everything was absolutely delicious. The flavors and quality of the food were spot-on. And the owners are so friendly and welcoming. We will definitely be coming back! We order Udon with beef 10/10 Dumplings 10/10 Spam musubi 10/10 Tonkatsu ramen 10/10 Beef ramen 10/10 California roll 10/10

    Good atmosphere and manages to set itself apart from surrounding restaurants. Staff seem to enjoy working here and are patient and helpful with first timers and very knowledgeable of the menu and spot on with recommendations. Food looks and smells amazing. This restaurant definitely has what it takes to be a staple of the community.

    Special Menu

    Well the service is good and the food is great but some menu prices aren't direct. It's unclear what the final price will be. The ambience is alright for people that like ramen.

To be clear, you really can't go wrong with any of the restaurants on this street and I recommend just going with whichever one has the shortest wait when you show up. Thankfully we only had to wait about 20 minutes and got a table inside. There were 6 of us and they made us squeeze into a booth built for 4 which was a little annoying but we made it work. I ordered their signature Daikoku Ramen which was very flavorful and filling, just wish there had been more meat! My husband got the poke bowl with salmon and tuna which is a great dish for those on the protein grind. Service was mixed, they brought some dishes out immediately and then others in our group had to wait longer to get their food. Overall food was tasty and I would go back.

They offer Yuzu Shio (salt broth) and Yuzu Shoyu (soy sauce broth) Ramen. I went with Yuzu Shio ($19.50).

Yuzu Limeade ($7) and although I liked the drink because it had a strong yuzu and lime taste, I wouldn't recommend getting it with a yuzu flavored ramen because it takes away the yuzu flavor in the ramen. Service was friendly and attentive. The space is open and bright. We paid for parking just to the side of the restaurant so that we didn't have to deal with street parking.

Got their signature Yuzu Shio which was about $10 (normally $19.50!!), as well as their Afuri Roll which the server recommended ($23). The ramen rather had a small portion, but was balanced and pretty good - and the broth was definitely on the lighter tasting side, good for people who wants a cleaner taste. I ended up using chili oil on the side to spice things up. The Afuri Roll wasn't anything special, and a bit on the dry side but it had a nice variety of different fish inside. Overall, considering all the other competitive ramen joints in the area that have a more competitive price/portion/variety, I'm not sure if I'd give this place another go given the price. Great vibes though!

While the price of a bowl is somewhat reasonable and the food does come out quickly, the service overall was great but could use a slight improvement. Throughout my meal I could hear multiple patrons flag down a server to refill their water. Remember, you're serving dishes that contain spices and some people's heat and spice tolerances are different from others so it's no suprise they're going to consume large amounts of water to cool down. It would be more convenient if the servers walked around with a water pitcher (ice cold preferably instead of lukewarm water) and check if any of the patrons needed refills. This would be an exemplary service that any restaurant should follow. Now the bowl itself that they serve the ramen in can be deceiving. While the bowls look large from above and the broth looks abundant, the base of the bowl is actually very narrow and therefore the serving size is significantly smaller than your normal serving at another ramen establishment. They intentionally do this to serve less broth. The fact that they use a large mouth bowl with a narrow base to "stretch out" their broth is a huge red flag and is definitely not worth the price. Now you may read this and say, "You're paying for the noodles, not the soup!" If you truly know ramen and the art behind it, the noodles isn't what makes the dish; it's the broth. The broth is the foundation and adds depth to the entire dish whether it's from the stock, the seasoning, or the oils, each component is what truly makes up ramen, not just the noodles. It's clear the design of the bowl is flawed and what's even more obvious is they serve just enough broth that measure right below their establishment's name on the bowl. I understand they do this for aesthetics but in the culinary world, if you're going to sacrifice quantity for art, save that for fine dining, not a noodle shop.
