    I did an UberEats order and they prepared it quickly but it also tasted just as fresh as it would be in store. I'm pretty picky with my ramen but this one was pretty tasty. Would definitely order again!

    Pork Chashu Bowl

    This is our go to ramen place when we're in the area. Me and my now husband, had our first date here and we come back all the time. I've never been disappointed and I'm still in love with their ramen after all these years. The ramen broth is full of flavor and the staff is so nice and attentive. I've been currently obsessed with their spicy pork chop rice bowl. It's such a huge portion, end up taking half home. The chicken karaage is also a must try, so tender and yummy.

    So. Damn. Good. The chicken broth is to die for. Bursting with flavor & a velvety texture. I haven't had ramen that I actually enjoyed until here. Their ramen noodles are quality noodles, their toppings are fresh and delicious. If ordering chicken, make sure it isn't burned or overcooked- it's happened before & that texture isn't enjoyable in ramen, but they have no problem revising. My husband and I tried this spot and didn't expect to love it like we do. He usually gets the pork broth, but adds chicken for protein. The cashiers are kind and have been welcoming. As far as the ambiance, it's clean, but the music kind of throws the vibe off. Will be back for more delicious ramen

    Wow!! I'm still full and I tried this place weeks ago!! On a cold moist day the vibe was absolutely a warm bowl of ramen. A quick search we found Kotsu and could have been happier. When we got in it was slow only a couple or two. By the time we left 75 percent of the space was full. This is a walk up and order then seat yourself type place. The servings were absolutely massive which I wasn't aware of or I wouldn't have ordered one of everything with a side of rice haha. The meal was fast, extremely flavorful and really hit the craving that was itching.

    Cheap plastic fork

    I really wanted to love this place, but almost everything that could go wrong with a carry-out order did. I placed my order online, and it took nearly an hour to be ready. When I finally sat down to eat, I opened the container and was greeted by a clump of mushy, fused-together noodles. Not exactly a great start. To make things worse, I wasn't given chopsticks for my ramen--just a flimsy plastic fork that actually broke mid-bite. I'm a big fan of ramen, and this was the first time I've ever had to eat it with a fork. Not exactly a milestone I was hoping to hit. As for napkins, they included a couple of those rough, brown, tri-fold paper towels you usually grab in a public restroom. It really added a certain... atmosphere to the whole experience. The food itself wasn't terrible--I've definitely had better, but it wasn't the main issue. Overall, though, the experience was so consistently off that it felt less like a meal and more like an experiment in how many small things can go wrong at once.

    super good! spice and everything was on point! The service was attentive and the ambiance was nice and peaceful!

    One of the best ramen soups I've ever had! The Kotsu OG was so delicious, I didn't want it to end. The portion size was generous, and while the pork meat portion was smaller, the chicken had plenty of pieces. Service was quick and friendly. I've definitely found a new favorite spot

    Chicken Karaage Bowl deluxe

    This is our second time here, tried the bowl this time around and again it did not disappoint. I recommend this to everyone that wants to try something new and enjoy delicious flavor! Whoever is in charge of the playlist needs a raise! The music and vibe make dinning here more enjoyable.

    Some of the best ramen I've ever had. The broth was incredibly flavorful with a perfect consistency, not too thick, not too watery; and the noodles were cooked to perfection. I constantly compare other ramen spots to this one and this is my favorite! The service and food were great, but the facility maintenance needs attention. The bathroom was unattended: no toilet covers and no soap.

    Best ramen around!! Top tier I recommend the Kotsu flame, Kotsu curry... anything Kotsu Depends on your mood, really. They have a lot of options for those who prefer pork, chicken, or veggie. Tons of side dishes as well to complement the main courses. I usually go for the Kotsu flame if I'm feeling like eating something spicy yet rich. I get the Kotsu curry when I want something with more depth. (Owner if you're reading this: This place needs some pork buns. It would be a game changer)

    Teriyaki Chicken Bowl
    Messy P.

    I wanted to like this spot since the reviews were really good. The customer service was friendly and the place was clean. I ordered the teriyaki bowl and it had a weird taste and was extremely salty. The ramen soup was just okay, but not something I'd get again. My boyfriend and I both ended up getting food poisoning afterwards, which was really disappointing. Overall, I wouldn't go back.

    Menkoi Ya Ramen in downtown Claremont is everything you want when you're craving a comforting,…read moredeeply satisfying bowl of noodles--and honestly, it might ruin other ramen places for you. The broth is the real star here. Rich, flavorful, and clearly simmered for hours, it has that perfect depth that makes you want to keep sipping long after the noodles are gone. Whether you go for tonkotsu, shoyu, or spicy miso, each one is packed with layers of flavor that feel both authentic and thoughtfully crafted. The noodles have the ideal texture--springy, chewy, and never mushy. You can tell they're made or cooked with care because they hold up beautifully in the broth without getting lost in it. The toppings are just as impressive: tender chashu pork that practically melts in your mouth, perfectly soft-boiled eggs with jammy yolks, fresh scallions, and nori that adds just the right finishing touch. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, the kind of place you can go alone for a comforting meal or bring friends for a casual hangout. Service is quick and friendly, and the staff seems genuinely happy to help you customize your bowl exactly how you like it. Portion sizes are generous, and everything comes out hot and fresh. It's also surprisingly consistent--every visit tastes just as good as the last, which is rare and really appreciated. If you're looking for ramen that feels both comforting and high quality, this place absolutely delivers. It's the kind of spot you start craving before you've even left.

I was craving Bun Bo Hue but the daughter who runs the place said her mom is still in the back making it which takes over ten hours because they slow cook pork bones to make the fabulous broth. Totally not an issue with me since they offer so many other authentic dishes. This time I got the Shrimp, Pork and Pork Hock Bahn Cahn. Bahn Cahn is a Vietnamese udon noodle soup. These udon noodles are thick, chewy and made with tapioca or rice flour. It's different than Japanese udon. The soup was light yet umami and the pork hock was fall off the bone tender. Delicious. Even better with their chili oil, which they also make in house. It's not on the table so make sure to ask for that, it has a complex lemongrass flavor and is divine! They also have another chili oil (the one with the pink cap) that's not made in house but is extremely spicy if you want to amp up the heat.
