    Spicy shio tonkatsu on the left. Spicy miso on the right.

    This is the place to go if you want ramen. The place is a little small but it feels purposeful so as to make sure each dish is crafted perfectly, which it was. By the time my brother and I arrived, we were the only customers. My brother ordered the spicy shio tonkatsu while I got the spicy miso. I don't order ramen often but when it arrived, I was blown away by the size. The spicy miso was absolutely delicious. The broth was thick, flavorful, and not too spicy and the noodles were great. I only managed to eat half my ramen and it looked like the perfect amount for another meal that could satisfy me. Something that surprised me a little bit was that there were no napkins. The table was set with a box of tissues.

    I enjoyed my visit! I had a spicy ground chicken ramen. I liked that I could add a side of rice or salad for about $4 more. The service was really helpful, stopping by to check in 3-4 times during our meal. The only downside was not being able to order alcohol alongside my meal. The decor is pretty cool, and it's purposefully old-timey.

    Ordered 2 ramens & 1 with a gyoza, fried rice, & salad combo ($45 including tip) The food was delicious & my boyfriend loves this place. The service was great, the servers were attentive. It is a bit warm inside. The broth is thick & packed with flavor! I like how the broth coats the noodles where you don't need to bring the soup with the noodles, even though I'm a soup girl. I want to come back to try other times!

    Got the Combination A with Ramen (Tonkotsu Chashu). Pretty, pretty, pretty good. The Karaage was crispy and juicy. The salad dressing was ginger based. The broth was rich and flavorful. The Chashu was plentiful. The ramen was Al dente. Seating is available at the counter or tables. Service was very friendly. Parking can be an issue. I went there on a Saturday around 16:00. Ended up parking on the residential street.

    Wanted ramen while in the area and found this place online. Walking in truly transports you to a old style ramen shop in Japan. The decoration is cool to look at and really contributes to the ambiance. We were seated immediately and ordered quickly. The older lady who helped us was super attentive and nice and very welcoming. Tonkotsu Ramen: 8/10, The broth was pretty good and there were loads of topping. It was rich and creamy and the texture of the noodles were perfect. We did find it a bit oily but overall pretty good. Spicy Miso: 6/10, In a similar vain to the tonkotsu, the noodle texture was perfect and there loads of topping. I found the broth to have a decent hint of spicy but it was somehow very bland. I did find it a bit oily as well. Overall, the food here is pretty solid. The staff were amazing and it's a nice place to stop and have a quick meal.

    I was not expecting much when I visited Jidaiya Ramen on a whim during a sleepy weekday lunch. I was pleasantly surprised by the friendly service provided by the two ladies at the restaurant upon entering and dining here. I got so accustomed to experiencing lousy service in Gardena and Torrance as of late, so I was extra surprised for all the good reasons. The spicy miso ramen I had did not disappoint. It had lots of toppings that made it extra satiating. The chashu was a bit on the overcooked side and very lean for my taste. Nothing bad. Just not what I am accustomed to. It was also not very spicy, but the server told me I can have it adjusted to spicier taste the next time. The gyoza was nice and crispy. Loved how well seasoned the fillings were and I could skip the extra seasonings. Hardly had to wait for my orders to come piping hot and the attentive service really helped make the dining experience pleasant. I can't emphasize that enough. It's rare to find that especially in that particular area. Love the retro Showa style decor too. The only issue I had per se was the lack of air conditioning and tight parking spaces. It would be also nice if they can bring the POS to the table to use ApplePay. Either way, I look forward to returning again in the future!

    The ramen here usually hits the spot if you are looking for something hearty and quick. The ramen noodles are thicker and the soup is flavorful and creamy. It can be a tad bit oily depending on what you order so be mindful of that. I usually add vinegar to my broth if that's the case. There are plenty of toppings on the standard order but you can definitely add more. Service is friendly and attentive. I have only been here once when there was a wait but it wasn't too long. Max time has been 10mins. Inside has a few tables and has a rustic feel of traditional Japanese ramen shops. They have some Japanese inspired art pieces hanging around restaurant. Parking on the weekdays hasn't been much of an issue but not sure what it's like on the weekend.

    This might be my favorite ramen place in town. Jidaiya's tonkotsu ramen is very rich, salty and porky. The other ramen spots tonkotsu broth tend to be lighter. Jidaiya ramen has a lot of other nice options. I really enjoyed the tsukemen ramen, the shoyu ramen and the spicy ramen options as well. The cold noodle salad served during summer is very tasty. I also appreciate how authentic this place feels. The restaurant is a little dark and comforting, with Japanese news in the background. The staff is very attentive and friendly. Jidaiya definitely feels like a great neighborhood ramen spot.

    Shoyu ramen
    Tony Z.

    Holy, this place blew me away and exceeded my expectations. We decided to try this spot for dinner before going to LAX and it did not disappoint. We came on a Thursday night and there was no wait. We were seated and I was immediately surprised by the price of each ramen bowl. It was around $10-$13 for each bowl depending on the soup base. I haven't seen those prices in years! We both added a combo which came with karaage, fried rice, and a cabbage salad. The karaage was sooo juicy. The shoyu ramen I got was super clean and savory. The tonkotsu ramen was a little saltier for my taste, but my girlfriend really enjoyed it (I prefer less heavy broths). We will definitely be coming back again!

    Tokyo Yatai
    Nicole B.

    Service was very welcoming + friendly!! Although I'm usually one to opt for tonkotsu, the Tokyo Yatai (chicken + shoyu) broth seemed promising and I was not disappointed. A piping hot bowl was delivered quickly and the broth was just as good as I had hoped. The inside is cozy like an izakaya, and I'll definitely be back! Next time I'd try the spicy miso, which also looks promising !

    Called and they said there was no wait. We rushed over since we were so hungry and some near by spots had a 40 minute line. This place was busy but it was quick to get a table. We ordered and our food came out in 5 minutes! Very fast service. Tables felt busy but plenty of room and quiet enough for us to talk at a normal volume. Very tasty. Planning to come back soon.

    Hope L.

    I love Jidaiya ramen My favorite one is kaisen ramen It opens all day and this restaurant is very close from my work! Thank you for your great work and i hope you will keep doing great work ^_^

    I love discovering hidden mom-and-pop spots like this one. The dipping ramen, (tsukemen), broth was flavorful. Not the best I've ever had, but definitely enjoyable. The staff was warm, welcoming, and very accommodating, which made the experience even better. The strip mall has several other restaurants I'm looking forward to trying, but this place is a solid stop worth checking out.

    Are the ramen noodles homemade and the pork broth too?

    I do know the broth is made in-house, but I don't know about the noodles.

    Any food contain nuts?

    I believe some do but the menu is very specific on what they have in their food so you should be good 😊

    Does this restaurant have a vegetable ramen?

    Yes! It's made with a vegetable broth and filled with various veggies.

If you think you're getting that omelette rice you see online in videos from Japan, or even like the one on the menu you are in for a big surprise. The curry portion on my $20 plate was so small that I had to pay an extra 5.50 in order to eat the remaining rice with extra curry. The plate is raised in a way where you can pour a lot of curry in there. The cooks are obviously trying to skimp on portions. Service was slow. One gal took our order and never came back. Like I did not see her the remaining 20 minutes I was there. Didn't bring my extra pork cutlet or curry. I had to ask the other gal to bring our food bc the other one forgot or had bubble guts. The cutlet was mediocre but not as bad as the rock hard stew meat. I will never come back to this place and would advise ppl to stay away. Also the water literally tastes like they got it straight from the sink without a filter. Was expecting so much more. Left very disappointed. Do not order the beef curry plate. I guarantee you will regret it. This place is absolutely disgusting. Another note. This was my second time here. The first time I came during business hours and the place was closed due to no running water. I felt really cheated by the quality of food, portion size and the amount of money I paid for me and my buddy. This place absolutely sucks

Old wood. No unnecessary theater. I walked in expecting the sort of modest Japanese restaurant that makes you wonder why anyone bothers opening anything new. Then you get inside. There is old in the charming sense, where every worn surface feels earned. And then there is old in the neglected sense, where the room feels dim, tired and coated in the residue of a thousand lunches. Ichimiann lands much closer to the second. The cafeteria style ordering, self serve tea and tray return could have been part of its appeal, but the space has no real rhythm to it. You order, drift toward the back and eventually find yourself eating in a room that feels more institutional than intimate. The staff was pleasant and efficient. No complaint there. The soba itself was also good, properly textured, clean tasting and clearly better than the lifeless supermarket versions most people know. The problem is that "good soba" is carrying nearly the entire restaurant on its back. The portions are remarkably small for the price and every addition begins to feel like another minor financial penalty. By the time the tray reaches the table, you are looking at a modest serving of noodles in a tired room and wondering how the bill became so ambitious. Handmade or not, there was nothing on the plate that felt difficult enough, generous enough or memorable enough to justify it. That is the disappointment. Ichimiann presents itself like a surviving piece of old Torrance, but tradition alone is not hospitality and age alone is not character. The noodles are respectable. Nearly everything surrounding them needs considerably more care. I wanted to discover a neighborhood institution. What I found was an expensive bowl of decent soba in a restaurant that seems to believe its history is doing more work than it actually is.

    Its not easy giving all full 5 star review. I looove this spot. Not a conventional Izakaya, they…read moredont have many small side dishes, but thats not why I come here. I come here for the Yakitori. Errmugurrd hands down my fav dedicated yakitori place. The charcoal grilled sweetness smacks you in the face as soon as you walk in. If its your first time, its like sushi for chicken grilled skewers. The best parts are the unconventional chicken parts you dont usually eat. Chicken, heart, liver, gizzards, all of that so good. Dont forget the chicken meatballs, and some pork belly omgaawd. I prefer this place over newer trendier spots, ha smore character i guess. Service has always been good. Usually plenty of parking.

    The hearts are super tender! Order:…read moreHearts Liver Special shiro (special pork intestines, really good if you like intestines!) Shishamo (on the special menu) Ika yaki (think of like a deconstructed takoyaki without the carbs) Chicken meatball Chicken thigh Gizzard was also very good Duck Cartilage Chicken oyster Beef tongue (only alright compared to other spots) Pork belly with shiso Tail Everything was super tender! Would come again! Heart, gizzard and special shiro we ordered more of! Food was so good that I didn't take any pictures haha

    Back again. I remembered they have a great BENTO BOX, so that's what I ordered again and…read morerecommended the same for my friend. We had a great time here on a Saturday afternoon. The food was as great as I remember and although the restaurant had plenty of people, we didn't feel rushed. Everything was delicious from the sashimi, tempura, fish, nishime and chicken karaage. The bento box also comes with potato salad, udon and gohan. When I'm in Gardena, this is my choice for Bento Box... You literally get a little of everything!

    to keep it short, they forgot they sat us down. they didn't take our order for over 30 minutes and…read moreafter they did there was a lot forgotten like my takeout order i think had gotten lost after being placed. i should've said something a lot sooner regarding having our order taken especially because i was in a time crunch but i don't like the thought of rushing workers especially when it's a smaller business with less people. my coworker i went with has been many times but said this never happens so this was a first for us. i think the language barrier also played a factor as well, however, the table sitting next to us who spoke fluent japanese also never received their check and was forgotten too. it was not busy. but the owners seemed to prioritize the other side of the restaurant instead. nonetheless, they were apologetic and we still ate and the food was very good, id recommend coming here on a day you are not busy!
