    Garlic Bomb Ramen with Spicy Miso base. Toppings: Deep Fried Garlic, Charshu, Boiled Egg.
    Kimberly D.

    My friend swears this restaurant serves the best ramen in the South Bay so we had to try it for ourselves. Seating is limited and it fills up quickly so we got there at 6pm on a Tuesday and secured a table with no problem. The selection of ramen is quite large and the staff is friendly. We all ordered the Garlic Bomb with Spicy Miso broth. They offer spice levels from 1-10. I got a spice level of 3 and could have gone 1-2 levels higher. The ramen does come with 1 chashu piece, so I ordered an extra 2 pieces and the boiled egg. It definitely is really tasty and worth waiting in line for.

    Perfect for a rainy day at home, I did take out. Walked in and greeted by friendly staff that recommended what I ordered. Sat down for about 10 min and waited (the place was full of diners) Brought my ramen and buns back home and enjoyed a delicious meal!

    It was a chilly night tonight and we all wanted something to warm up that was comforting. Ramen was the top choice. Ko-Ryu to the rescue. We had fried Gyoza and Takoyaki to start, ( sorry no photo to show) and wonton ramen & fried chicken curry ramen. Both really delicious and hit the spot. The curry had a little kick but very tasty. The wait staff very nice and filled our water promptly. Ambiance casual.

    I had a nice experience at Ko-Ryu Ramen. I ordered the Shacho Ramen with miso broth, which I found to be fairly good. It was definitely very rich, which was mostly appreciated, except it was too salty because of how rich it was. The service was good, and my party was seated immediately when we came on a Saturday night.

    Food and service was good. I noticed that the one in San Pedro gives a little more ramen than this one. I also noticed that they don't serve dessert like how the Pedro one does. They did however give my son some baseball and basketball trading cards, which was a nice gesture.

    I absolutely love the Shacho Ramen here I know it's probably not traditional or whatever but it's broth with the Sesame paste in it just tastes so good to me. Also it comes with bamboo shoots, extra ground pork along with the chashu, bean sprouts, etc. There's also this cool photo wall of ppl who've eaten super spicy bowls in the past. The food comes out pretty fast as well.

    Ko-Ryu Ramenに行ってみましたが、正直、二つ星か三つ星か迷うレベルでした。 まず、豚肉はまるで靴の底のように硬く、顎の筋トレにちょうどいいくらい。スープも悪くはないけど、本格的なラーメンとはちょっと違う感じがしました。コクや深みが足りなくて、ラーメンというより「ラーメン風の何か」という印象ですね。 日本語で注文しようとしたら完全に無視されたのもちょっと気になりました。せっかく日本風の雰囲気なのに、そこは残念。 そして、食べ終わった後、チェックが来なくて、結局自分で受付まで行って支払うハメに。サービスは正直いまいちでしたね。 ただ、意外だったのが、子どもたちは気に入ったみたいなんです。私は「まぁまぁかな...」という感じでしたが、子どもたちが「また来たい」と言ってるので、そのうちまた行くかもしれません。 結局、味はそこそこ、サービスは微妙、値段はちょっと高め。大家族でしょっちゅう行く感じではないですね。でも、まぁまぁ美味しかったし、子どもたちの評価を加味して三つ星にしました。

We stayed in K-Town this time so it was a bit of a drive but I didn't care! We went there for lunch buuuut!!! When we arrived, the restaurant looked very dark inside. One of the workers was outside cleaning the windows so we approached her and found out that the power was out. She said they had no idea when it would be back on. I was like, "Noooooo!!!" I had waited an entire year to have their ramen again! We stayed in Torrance for a while, hoping the power would come back but it didn't look like it would be restored in time for lunch so we decided to try again for dinner instead. We stayed in Torrance a little longer because we really didn't want to drive all the way back to K-Town and then drive down again. We went back right when they opened for dinner, hoping the power was back... and it WAS!!! I had originally planned to get the Chashu Ramen but since our lunch had been delayed, I knew I wouldn't be able to finish it. So I ordered the same one I had last year, the Kitakata Ramen. The broth tasted just as good as I remembered! Unfortunately, though, the chashu was a little tough this time. I remembered it being that melt-in-your-mouth kind of tender so I was a little disappointed. (Maybe it was because of the power outage? ) But everything else was excellent! We'll be back in LA for our son's graduation in May next year so hopefully we'll get another chance to visit Ban Nai. And hopefully with no power outage!

They only have a couple of locations in SoCal, so there's usually a wait, but it's definitely worth it. The staff are wonderful. My go to is the Tonkotsu since that's what they're known for, and it was delicious. This time I decided to try the Black Devil Ramen, which combines their black garlic oil tonkotsu broth with their spicy tonkotsu broth. I'm really glad I switched it up because the black garlic gave the broth a much deeper, richer flavor, and the little bit of spice balanced everything out perfectly. I love spicy ramen, but not when it's so spicy that you can't taste anything else. Also added the Everything Topping and extra green onions because I'm feeling hungry. The extra veggies make it even better and definitely satisfied my hunger. Definitely one of my favorite ramen spots outside of Little Tokyo. If you're ever in the Torrance area and craving ramen, this spot is worth checking out!

The food was actually quite good. We both had a bowl of the Black Devil ramen at a spice level of 4. I was worried that this would be too much but it was actually a very manageable level of spice. The type of spice where I can still enjoy my food and not have to worry about eating it through hiccups or anything like that. I also had a side of the spicy katsu cutlet, which I also enjoyed very much. They brought me one big piece of chicken katsu and some scissors to cut it up, which I thought was neat. But every bite I had was wonderful, as it was clearly fried to perfection. The service was also on point and our server even let us try some of their devil sauce ( I do not remember if this was what it was called but it sure was spicy). A few drops of this in my bowl of ramen and I began to sweat profusely. She said barely anyone ever orders it and I can totally see why haha. She was also super nice to us and overall provided some excellent service, I did not quite catch her name. The interior of this place also feels quite small, but it is well ventilated. Just be mindful if you get up and walk around because there are people eating to your left and right.

Everything from the flavor to the experience just feels a step above. The (always-vegan) broth is rich and well-balanced, and you can really tell the focus is on quality. One thing I really appreciate is how accommodating they are with customizations. I usually ask for my ramen without nori (seaweed) and skip the egg, and they get it right every time. It might seem like a small detail, but it makes a huge difference not having to send anything back. The atmosphere is also a big plus. It's cozy and inviting, perfect for sitting down and enjoying a warm bowl of ramen. The first time we went it was pretty busy, but it still felt comfortable. The second time, we went earlier in the day and it was quieter, which made the experience even better. At this point, anytime I'm craving ramen, this is where we go.
