Some of the best ramen from around here is in this tiny restaurant. Everything is made with love.

I have been wanting to try this place for a really long time because I've driven by this place so many times and I see a huge line out front. One day, I went out for lunch and drove by and saw that there was no line outside so I decided to stop by. Initial impression of this place is that the parking is this really small and this ramen shop is really small. Upon entry it does give you a very Japanese vibe. I ordered the Tonkotsu ramen and this dish includes some pork belly, an egg, and wood ear. Initial impressions are that the broth isn't bad and the presentation is great. One thing that they added on here which I am not a huge fan of us the wood ear. I think it throws off the taste of the ramen personally. You can also add toppings if you feel like customizing your ramen which aren't too expensive. They're about 50 cents to a dollar, but I think the ramen pre-built isn't bad at all. Overall, this is a pretty good ramen spot, but not my favorite spot. read more

Kosuke - Tonkotsu Ramen - Ramen Near Me - Alhambra, California

Kosuke is just so.. comforting. This little gem is one of my favorite spots to pick up some Japanese food-- especially perfect for cold days!! My go-to order here is their chicken cutlet curry, but my family adores their popcorn chicken ramen. [Note: be careful when ordering spicy here, their "spicy" level is actually pretty dang hot! do not underestimate!! it's so good, but take caution lol. I'd recommend medium spicy to most people.] Anyways, food aside, I've always had a good experience picking up from Kosuke! Everyone there is so kind and welcoming. It's also easy to call for an order. If you're craving for Japanese food, please give Kosuke a try! read more

Kosuke - Ramen and chicken - Ramen Near Me - Alhambra, California

It's our favorite ramen spot by far. We always make a drive to visit Kosuke. We love the spicy ramen, medium, with popcorn chicken on the side (and throw it in as we are eating) and dumplings. The service is exceptional! We love Kosuke! read more

Kosuke was my go-to for ramen in SGV and my overall favorite ramen spot since it opened in Alhambra on Main St. The plan was when the BMWs were getting fixed @ New Century on complimentary recall campaigns, I would splurge on ramen because the car repairs were pro-bono. My latest trip left me disenchanted. Ordered popcorn chicken ramen and felt the absences of wood ear mushrooms, bamboo shoots and a 1/2 poached egg make the overall experience below par. It was a 2-star but since I have better experience @ this establishment, I'll u-turn once more to get the chashu tonkotsu ramen @ the higher spicy level to see if a second chance can rekindle my affections for this little hole in the wall (talking soup not sensuality people). read more

This my third times at this restaurant. Good service . Soup so hot and delicious. Cha Siu and egg super popcorn chicken juices. Times wait at least half and hour not bad . read more

3 words: Popcorn chicken ramen! Do it and thank me later! Overall very small shop but they have very hospitable staff and the place is always packed so ordering ahead of time sometimes is best. The ramen here is very consistent with the delicious ramen broth from Japanese cuisine. Definitely worth a trip if you've never tried this place out! read more

Decided to try out Kosuke as my friends and I were looking for a new ramen spot, and it turned out pretty good! I got the spicy miso ramen extra spicy and was satisfied with how spicy it was. My only gripes with the ramen were that the egg included with it was just a normal hard boiled egg and that the bamboo shoots had a bad aftertaste. Other than that, the broth was surprisingly good and the noodles were good as well! We also got the takoyaki as an appetizer and it was delicious! I would highly recommend getting it as they are probably one of the best takoyaki I have had around the area! As a side note, definitely get the tonkotsu ramen as spicy might be a bit too much if you don't normally eat spice! read more

This place is definitely one of those hidden gems that is so easy to pass and overlook. It is truly a diamond in the rough. The only reason I am giving it four stars is because they have a horrible parking lot, and because the restaurant itself is very tiny and the weights are just insane, especially when you were hungry. I feel that if they were to add more tables outside or even in the back, they would definitely illuminate that kind of issue. Now on the food, I can definitely tell that they do not skimp on quality or quantity as well as the deliciousness of the soups and the chefs knowing exactly what they're doing. This is definitely a true genuine Ramen spot, a very much original creation that is a must try in Alhambra. Additionally, even the side dishes are actually delicious, so I definitely recommend this and I just really hope that they can fix the parking and spacing situation. read more

my bf & I came here since we had a ramen & chicken curry craving :D from the outside, kosuke can definitely seem like a hole-in-the-wall, but the intimate size of the place just adds to the comforting feeling (like home almost). the staff here are super attentive & friendly from the moment you walk in the door. we ordered the spicy miso ramen & the curry katsu chicken. the spicy miso ramen had a very rich, deep flavor, especially the broth! all of the toppings, noodles, & broth really cultivate a "mesmerizing" experience, according to my bf LMAO. everything was cooked to a nice texture, including the noodles, egg, & chashu. they also let you pick the spice level, & we chose the medium one, which honestly felt like a good lvl. you also get to choose the meat you have w/ it, which can either be chashu (which is what we got), or popcorn chicken. moving on to the curry katsu chicken! the chicken is breaded just enough, providing a crunchy exterior, but a soft and chewy interior. unlike some of the other katsu chickens we've tried, this one remains juicy and isn't dry after the frying is done. as for the curry sauce, it was just SO GOOD! it got to the point where we were scraping it off of the plate. it also comes w/ a side salad that's a refreshing palate cleanser in between bites of chicken. the only improvement i'd see for this dish is to give a more generous serving of the sauce & ginger (esp the ginger lol), so consider asking for extra if you try this dish! all in all, we'd definitely come back the next time we get a craving :) read more

Kosuke - spicy miso ramen & curry katsu chicken! - Ramen Near Me - Alhambra, California

One of my favorite ramen places! **** CASH ONLY **** Spicy Popcorn chicken ramen 10/10 (with the popcorn chicken in the side) - large portion with a good helping of popcorn chicken!! - soup is perfect and creamy!! - noodles are a perfect snap and holds the flavor of the soup well Overall, all staff are attentive and refill your waters without having to flag them down! They always have cute studio ghibli playing in the background! They do have a wait most days (pre-pandemic) but it's worth it and a cute first date spot! Parking is in the rear but it's super cramped so you might have to park somewhere else (there's a structure nearby) and walk down! read more

My son was stationed in Japan for 18 months and when I took him there for noodles his expectations were low. However, after we finished our bowls, he said they were terrific as he was back in Japan. He had the ham noddle soup and I had the Popcorn chicken and noodle soup. Keep in mind how spicy you want the soup. I say start at mild. You have to eat the noodles there, not quite the same when you take out. I love this place. read more

Parking is a pain in the butt for this place. They do have a private lot but the entrance to the lot is about a 1.5 car width... so if someone is exiting and you're trying to enter.. good luck. Literally a hole in the wall place. The restaurant is quite small. Max capacity prolly less than 30 ppl i would say... so come prepared to wait. Definitely dont come with a big group, you will regret that. Overall taste was ok. This place stands out for its value. The ramen portions are quite satisfying and for a couple dollars more you can add a side of tempura with your ramen order. Overall a good local ramen shop that offers great value. read more

My wife and I have been to so many good ramen around L.A. and beyond to search for a good bowl of ramen and the search still on going for a bowl ramen. After shopping at Target I told my wife,I'm hungry for Ramen I remembered a friend of mine told me there's a ramen restaurant just across the street from the Alhambra car wash. The restaurant called Kosuke.its a small restaurant just next to the Dog Groomer but always get pack and a long line to get in. We arrive at the restaurant just on time before they open their doors for the dinner crowed,we were the second group in line while more people were getting in line. This place is CASH ONLY no debit or credit card just being cash don't forget. We look at the menu for appetizer we order the popcorn chicken then we place our order the ramen. My wife order the pork cutlet ramen and I order the Tonkotsu ramen. First they brought our appetizer the popcorn chicken,we took a bite the chicken was tender,crunchy and spice flavor but it needed a sauce to match it that would be perfect. Final they brought us our ramen,our bowl were hot and the aroma was good I couldn't wait to took a taste of my Tonkotsu. My Tonkotsu was really good full of flavor,the broth was delicious with a good clear taste,I was surprise with sesame seeds in bowl it add flavor. My wife enjoy her ramen bowl,we both the popcorn chicken and ramen,we will probably go back again. read more

Kosuke is by far my favorite ramen restaurant in all of SGV. I have been to many ramen places in SGV on the search for the best ramen. SGV ramen typically doesn't really compare to ones you can get in Little Tokyo or Torrance/Gardena area (and even then, those don't compare to top-notch ramen shops in Japan), but they do have a couple of gems like Kosuke! My favorite at Kosuke is the spicy ramen with chashu, medium spicy. They package their ramen nicely for takeout when I went during the pandemic. Kosuke is owned by an older Japanese lady who works at the restaurant every time I come. I love that they usually play some Miyazaki movie on their TV - Kosuke gives such a homely warm feel. Food: The Spicy ramen is really the dish to get at Kosuke. I've tried the Tonkotsu and Spicy miso ramen as well, but I always always go back to my trusty Spicy ramen. Their spicy ramen has a deep yet clean pork flavor without being too heavy, and the spice does not distract from the flavorful soup. It comes with bamboo shoots, kikurage (wood ear mushrooms), negi (green onions), a choice of meat, and half an egg (comes hard to soft boiled, depending on the day). For the meat, you have the option to choose either chashu (traditional pork belly topping) or popcorn chicken to go with the ramen. I think the chashu compliments the spicy ramen the best. You also get to choose the spiciness of the ramen - mild, medium, or spicy. I've gotten all of them before, and medium is the "happy medium" for me. Kosuke does not joke around with the spice in their ramen. Spicy level is very very spicy - and I have seen several customers order this in the past, and they've needed to down water after every bite. Even for an intense spice lover like me, I think medium is spicy enough without having to suffer come consequences later on (if you know what I mean). If you're not a big spice lover, mild will be more than enough spice for you. They also offer combos for their ramen - mini curry, gyoza, and others for only a couple bucks more. I like the mini curry a lot - it's curry sauce with white rice. The gyoza is also good - it's more of a deep fried kind of gyoza - not as traditional Japanese. Takeout: I called to order for takeout amidst the COVID pandemic, which was very convenient as I didn't need to wait long at the restaurant. The lady answering the phone was very friendly. They package the items very nicely - noodles and toppings are separated from the soup, and the popcorn chicken comes in its own box too. Parking: They have a small parking lot at the back of the restaurant. There should be no problem finding a spot these days because of the pandemic. Otherwise, you can park on the street or around the block. ***They are a cash only establishment. Closed on Sundays!!!*** read more

Kosuke - Spicy ramen (medium spicy) with chashu. My favorite ramen in SGV! - Ramen Near Me - Alhambra, California

Walking into the restaurant at first, I had my doubts. But my friend and I had been driving for a while and just needed some food, we decided on ramen and here we were. The wait time during peak dinner hours were a lot shorter than we thought, around 10-15 mins. The ramen itself was amazing in every aspect, the broth, the noodle, and the temperature was absolutely perfect. The meat itself was tender and juicy, the noodle was firm but cooked, and the soup was "brothtaking," if you will. Overall, this is without doubt one of the best bowls of ramen I've had the pleasure of eating with friends. Pro tip: if you ordered the popcorn chicken, dip it in the soup, trust me. read more

There was a male waiter whose name tag started with K who was rude to me. After my girlfriend and I finished ordering our ramen, the waiter asked "anything else?" I responded with "I ordered the ramen set" because I thought he didn't hear me clearly before or forgot, which is understandable. I also thought his phrasing meant he wasn't asking me about what side I wanted with my combo. However, he responded with a curt "yeah, anything else?" I thought that was somewhat off putting but I brushed it off. So we get our food and eat. The noodles and broth were nice as usual. The egg was not marinated and came out at different doneness levels. The chashu was OK. The croquet was really crispy and hot, so good! Unfortunately my girlfriend's popcorn chicken was really dry and needed more seasoning (I mean we don't know, they ask chashu or popcorn chicken so maybe we were supposed to put it in the broth?) All in all a good meal except when we were leaving, the waiter held open the door for my girlfriend and let it close in my face. I'm sorry you were having a bad day or whatever circumstance you were going through, but if you're going to slam the door in my face, I have to give 0 stars for service. read more

Friends have been raving about this place so I thought I'd try it out myself. Came here with one of my friends on a rainy Friday night. The wait wasn't too bad, but oh man the place was small and packed. Be sure to have someone come down and write your name down if you're more than a party of two as wait times can get long. I talked to one of the guys waiting with a party of six and he said they have been waiting for about an hour, no surprise, they had limited tables. It was also weird to me how they had a random table in the middle of the restaurant. I ordered the Kuro ramen and my friend ordered the spicy ramen. The Kuro ramen had a nice broth, but it was A-OK. It didn't have a WOW factor and didn't really meet my expectations. The chashu was a bit disappointing as I was expecting a bit of fat attached to it but it was mostly the meaty portion (which I think is probably something some people prefer). It wasn't as tender as I wanted it to be, but it was still enjoyable. It seems that their popcorn chicken is something to 'rave' about, maybe I'll try that next time. The service was quick which was nice and the staff was attentive. It's a small restaurant so there would be no reason to give bad service. read more

Kosuke's ramen hands down the best ramen I've had. The broth is not too salty or fatty. The ramen noodles have the perfect chewiness. If you are a foodie, i recommend their popcorn ramen. If you order takeout, the popcorn chicken comes on the side so you can eat it in the ramen and/or as an appetizer. I also recommend their takoyaki as a appetizer. Bring cash if you can. Not sure if they accept card. Parking is super easy, theres a structure in the back! read more

Kosuke - Takoyaki - Ramen Near Me - Alhambra, California

Small restaurant that serves both ramen and udon. Quick service and reasonable prices and parking in back.

I recommend you try the tonkotsu-shoyu ramen here! It's like tonkotsu mixed with bonito (fish) flavor and I think it really cuts through the heaviness of plain tonkotsu. Also it came with a ton of wakame seaweed, and I love that stuff! It's so briny and chewy. I've never had it at any other ramen shop before and it's an interesting addition to the broth. I also like how the ramen is the thick, chewy, wavy noodles instead of the thin, straight noodles. I will never understand the preference for thin, straight noodles (Shinsengumi I'm looking at you). I also tried my boyfriend's tonkotsu ramen. It had good pork flavor but immediately I tasted overwhelming sesame oil flavor. By the end of the bowl, my boyfriend said that the sesame flavor had gotten too much. We both agreed that the tonkotsu-shoyu ramen was the superior option. Another great thing about Kosuke is that they include a good amount of toppings (egg is the most important) with each bowl of ramen, so you don't have to spend a lot of $$ on extra toppings. Also the portions are huge! I was completely stuffed afterwards. I'm definitely coming back again. read more

Kosuke - Tonkotsu-shoyu ramen - Ramen Near Me - Alhambra, California

During this pandemic I've finally had a chance to try this place as it normally has lines out the door and massive wait times during prime time. This place is Japanese cusine, and the owner is just awesome. The first thing my wife and I noticed is, in this age where eating out is expected to be expensive, this place crushes the competition and has prices so reasonable prices that I wouldn't even cook at home. Ordered Kuro Ramen, House Udon, and the Pork Cutlet plate with Tonkatsu sauce. Kuro Ramen was rich in flavor and had 4 large pieces of chashu. If you're looking for strong flavor this is the dish for you. =D Udon is going to have me as a regular from this point on. The dashi based soup was perfect and the udon, most likely sanuki, reminds me of eating in small Japanese eateries. Port cutlet was NOT dry!!!! Awesome in every way. Traditional Japanese style. Price + Flavor = a jewel in the neighborhood. The hospitality was just awesome. My wife misses places like this where they don't treat their customers as customers but like family. read more

Loved it! Reservations impossible, wait time for 4 substantial. There were various ramen choices with a miso or pork based broth and respective preselected and optional components. It was very good. On my wish list though would be to have non-fried chicken meat as a choice ... and to move to at least the 20th century and accept credit cards. read more

Love this place. Recently ordered the spicy tonkatsu with pork. So bomb. My wife tried the first time As well. Usually I don't believe in getting food to go so far (30 mins) but when you in the midst of greatness the wait is the best part. When I used to frequent Alhambra I'd have to wait for the lunch timers leave cuz I hated the wait. Once in quarantine it didn't matter how long it took I had to get some of that bomb ramen broth. They did not disappoint. Ramen is delicious. Try and tell me it isn't read more

This is my usual ramen joint in the area. If you come during peak hours, there's usually a wait - around 30 mins. Cash only!! My favorite is the Kuro ramen. The broth is rich and flavorful. The black sesame oil adds that extra kick of umami. Noodles are medium sized and perfectly chewy. You can get your ramen with chashu or popcorn chicken. They actually give a good amount of popcorn chicken. Tonkostu and corn butter ramen are also good. The corn butter is really creamy. The spicy ramen is actually spicy, so watch out if you order it medium spice level or above. I've been going here for years since it opened. But lately I feel like it can be a hit or miss experience here. There was a time where my noodles and egg were overcooked, but were normal on my next visit. The food here is great, but I wish for more consistency. read more

Delicious ramen with great value and great service! The ramen with popcorn chicken is massive and comes with an egg plus an appetizer-sized plate of meat. The broth and noodles were super flavorful and unique. I got the spicy ramen in medium spice and it was a bit spicier than I could handle lol but still good, just be careful! Just because I killed myself w the spice, I preferred my friend's black garlic ramen a bit more but overall I'd def come back here again!! read more

Kosuke - Ramen Near Me - Alhambra, California

When my friend told me she had found a ramen spot that was the only place she could eat ramen at since returning from a visit from Japan I was eager to try and Kosuke did not disappoint. I personally have a favorite ramen spot in J-Town but this place really did come close! The location is small, pretty busy, and has a small parking lot behind. We found parking easily for Friday night but my friend said sometimes it's busier and you have to park elsewhere. The wait was about 20-30 minutes which was fine because one person in our party had not arrived. The location is fairly small with no frills. The wait staff is okay but since the place is busy after your initial order it seems they have to be flagged down to get attention. The food, I ordered vegetarian ramen for the first time and was pleasantly surprised at how tasty the broth was and combination of ingredients overall. The noodles were a bit firm but maybe that was on purpose? My friends got the spicy ramen with meat and they all enjoyed it. Three of us in the party ordered mild and one medium on spice level. My friend who comes often said depending on the day sometimes the mild is spicier. We all liked are spice level but there were some itchy throats and runny noses. A word of caution if you are delicate to spice. Overall it was great and I am happy to have found a ramen spot closer to home. I would likely come again with friends when in the mood for ramen. read more

The ramen taste delicious but there's too little broth... and the meats were sliced too thin... and the services were average, plus customers need to pay extra by using credit cards. I can only give overall three stars read more

I've had this place bookmarked for awhile, but haven't had the chance to come eat here until this past Wednesday. When looking through their menu and pictures on yelp, we noticed that they had a ramen with karaage in it, which I have never tried. I was kind of hesitant because since it's fried chicken, it would become soggy just sitting in the broth. I ended up deciding to try something different. I ordered the Tonkotsushoyu ramen rather than the popcorn chicken one. If you look at the price, the tonkotsushoyu one is more worth it because you get the chicken and an egg, which is still cheaper than just ordering the popcorn chicken one. The broth may be mixed with both pork and fish, rather than just pork broth, but I'm cheap and always like to find a better deal. The broth is light compared to Tonkotsu, which is my usual orders at ramen places. Although I prefer a slightly creamier broth, I thought this was still good. Don't be scared by the description of having pork and fish broth together; it didn't taste fishy at all. The karaage itself was really good. Even though it was bathing in the broth, the chicken didn't taste that soggy throughout my meal, which was one of my concern before ordering this. The amount they give is quite generous too, or at least in my opinion. I believe they gave about 10 pieces or so. I couldn't finish the bowl and stopped with maybe 4 pieces left and a bite or two of ramen left. The only thing I didn't really like about the dish was the egg. Usually the egg has soaked in the broth and is flavored, but I thought the egg just tasted like a plain boiled egg. PARKING: The entry to the parking lot is one way, so it's small. I suggest to drive slowly because it could be easily missed. The parking itself is small too. I would say there are around 10 spots and it shares with another business. There are reserved spots for Kosuke, but I think I only saw 2 spots? I arrived right when they opened for dinner time, so there was still parking available, but I'm not sure how it is during other times. read more

Went back to Kosuke to try their ramen after not visiting for several years. Still hear glowing things about this place, so I wanted to see if it was as good as I remembered it to be. There's a very tiny lot by the restaurant for parking - I would think that street parking might be a better option if you're visiting on a busy day. The restaurant is pretty small; not too many customers are able to be seated at one time although there doesn't seem to be as much of a wait as I remembered. We were quickly seated and given menus after arriving. Kosuke does have a good variety of items on the menu: ramen, udon, rice plates, curry, etc. They also have a ramen set deal where you can add an item for a lower cost if you order a ramen bowl. Ended up trying the Tonkotsu ramen again with a side of spicy bamboo shoots. You can get your choice of chashu or popcorn chicken along with some set ingredients. You're also able to customize it with additional toppings for an additional price. I was pleasantly surprised at how big the bowl of ramen was. For $7.75, I felt like they gave a good amount of noodles in that one bowl. The chashu wasn't too special - felt like there were maybe only 2-3 slices of meat in that bowl. I did enjoy that half of an egg, but was a bit disappointed that it was only half. The only thing that was unsettling was the heaviness of the broth. I felt like this bowl of ramen was really heavy and oily. After eating only several bites, I was already pretty full. The broth wasn't bad, but I felt like it made everything in that bowl taste similar. I remember liking the mini curry bowl, so I decided to order it again at the extra $1.50. Don't remember why I liked it so much as it was pretty much a small amount of white rice with some curry sauce poured over it. It tasted good, but I don't think I'd order it again. I can probably make something similar using ingredients at the supermarket. tl;dr - Kosuke was a miss for me this time - I didn't enjoy the meal as much as I thought I would have. The ramen was okay and better than some places, but I definitely still prefer Benten. Price was pretty affordable and the amount of noodles given was a huge plus. Factor in the parking situation and the restaurant being cash only - I'd probably skip it and just head to Benten the next time I crave ramen. read more

One of my go-to ramen spots. Parking is super limited though and the place is small but I've always had a solid experience here.

Sometimes they're a little stingy if you all for extra dipping sauces but still very nice. read more

Kosuke - Ramen Near Me - Alhambra, California

This star is for customer service and the inability to accommodate customers . They have a special - miso chicken ramen. Because I can't have anything fried and I'm here on dinner with family. I requested rice instead of noodles and for whatever reason, they can't do that for me . And that I must order a side of rice. I HATE RESTAURANTS who feel the need to waste food. Why are you going to make me get the noodles if I'm not going to eat it. Which makes me question how fresh the food is. I feel like everything is prepackaged and premade. Whatever .... here's to a bowl of wasted noodles I'm not eating because it's such a big deal to take out . And on top of that, the server is rude and overall a frustrating experience. I do not recommend this place. There are better local ramen places in the area y'all can go to with better service and food just as good. read more

The food was delicious, will definitely go again!:) I ordered the medium spicy ramen, I like things a bit spicy so I should've gotten extra spicy but now I know! I like that they let you choose how much spice you want, and the popcorn chicken was also great. I love fried chicken, but I don't like how salty a lot of places make it. Luckily, the popcorn chicken here doesn't have too much salt so it goes hand in hand with the ramen Also, I ordered a side of tofu and two orders of fried gyoza, everything all together was so much more affordable than other ramen spots. Definitely my go to place from now on read more

I like how you can almost customize any ramen to be vegan or vegetarian. Just tell the staff no sadhu or fish broth and they should know! There's usually a wait when you dine in and it is cash only but take out is usually a good option too. Medium level spicy will do it, it already gets me sweating a little. Flavors are apparent and noodles are chewy and thin! Good place for people with different dietary needs read more
