It's soooooo good!! The portion size and customer service is also a plus. There was a group of 3 sitting at the bar and a table was open and the waiter had them to go sit at the table to open up more spots at the bar. I appreciated that as a solo diner.

Tomizo Ramen was so good. The server was nice and welcoming. Tried the Taco Tuesday curry chasu tacos (2 for $5). Cheesy with a nice kick and rich flavor. Got the miso ramen with mild spice, comforting and satisfying with a perfect soft-boiled egg. Also tried the special Tomizo ramen (only 5 serves a day). Strong garlic, rich broth, and thick noodles. The gyoza was good too, especially in the tartar sauce.

They're open late! Thank goodness for late night joints. A long day at work equals trying to find dinner with a hope and a smile! We've ordered delivery in the past. This was our first dine-in experience. We weren't the only ones eating a late dinner! We ordered to share: Chicken nanban. They serve it with a tartar sauce of sorts. The flavor is ok but they are a bit heavy handed. Gyoza. Also ok. Also served with the tartar sauce. Also a bit heavy-handed. Next time I will request the Tatar sauce on the side. Spicy miso ramen. We enjoyed it. It was a rainy night and the broth was warm and flavorful. Enjoy!

We came through on a Tuesday. It was very empty only a few people throughout. I got the spicy miso ramen level 1 (was just mild) the charsiu was very tender. The karaage with the curry sauce was awesome! I would love to try to make that myself one day. The special ramen which they serve only 5 per day was very veggie heavy. Personally I wouldn't have gotten it again. But it is very filling so to each their own. The restaurant was small maybe around 25-30 people seating. The service was very good. The waitress was attentive and checked in a lot. I do think we got overcharged since before a certain time it's a free side if you order 2 ramens. But I guess it'll just take a little more time to come back

This place is small You write your name on a list and as people leave they come out check the list and call for you to come in to eat. When we showed up it was full so we waited maybe 20minutes. Service once inside was fast they don't have too big of a menu. Ramen was delicious we added corn aand an egg to the spicy one. Shrimp tempura was perfect The shu mai was interesting, had maybe some rice inside and was sweet which was new to me. I normally love a shrimp shumai. karaage was good pieces were big and not fully coated in the crumbs. Also not picture fried rice it was good. Would definitely come back for the ramen

This was my first time stopping by and luckily I got there early for dinner to try their limited Tomizo Ramen for $15! It's a garlic shoyu tonkotsu base topped with bean sprouts, cabbage, onions and LOTS of garlic which I loved! It's served with a thick flat noodle, and you can add more toppings like a ramen egg if you like. The broth was SO flavorful and it definitely hit the spot on a cold night. The combination of a shoyu and tonkotsu broth makes it umami rich and delicious. Every bite was packed with flavor and a strong taste of garlic which I loved. I wasn't the biggest fan of the noodles since it reminded more of a pasta noodle, but they were still thick and had a great texture. The other ramens on their menu either have a miso or shoyu base, so I'll check it out next time. Definitely recommend stopping by to try this ramen.

The place was cute and clean. They have friendly & welcoming servers. The food are just okay but the egg was so perfectly good!

Samuel C.

I have eaten here several times and enjoy their ramen. The spicy miso and miso broth, which is their signature ramen broth, are good. Their tonkatsu soup is okay. In general, their soup is on the lighter side, but still has enough bold flavors to make the overall dish tasty.

Food (5/5): Want ramen but don't live in Little Tokyo? Tomizo ramen is perfect for you. I have only had their Tomizo ramen which they only serve 5 bowls a day. It's super garlicky and a tad bitter from their cabbage. The soup is such a comforting and earthy flavor. The portion size is also gargantuan considering I'm a big eater. I love tsukemen and unfortunately my favorite place in Gardena closed and I'm super excited to try it! Service (5/5): Their food is quick and they are very attentive. I have only been when it hasn't been super busy. Ambiance (5/5): Great for a quick solo bite, to go with a friend, or casual date! Any party bigger than 4 will have issues fitting unless the 5th person is an infant. Price (5/5): Debit & credit card only, FYI! Reasonable prices for great ramen!

Shauna S.

Came here for a late Thursday dinner around 9pm and was a little surprised there was a 15-20 minute wait. The seating is pretty limited, so plan ahead if you're coming during peak times. As a tsukemen lover, I had to try their Dipping Ramen. It was solid, but my heart still belongs to other local ramen spots. The broth here was rich and the noodles were deliciously chewy, but it just didn't quite hit the craving for me. My boyfriend ordered the Tomizo Ramen, which is limited to 3 bowls a day. The menu notes it has "a lot of garlic," but that was an understatement. We're talkin' spoonfuls. It overwhelmed the entire dish and made it tough to enjoy. Those who are garlic-obsessed could possibly enjoy it, but it was too much for us. Have to give them bonus points for the Dodger-themed decor. It added a fun, laid-back vibe that made the space feel social and casual.

I drove 20 mins to try this place and was turned away at 11:12. The listing says last seating at 11:30pm. They should update the hours to reflect that so that customers don't waste their time!

Really enjoyed the mazesoba here! The pork version was delicious, but I'd love to see a beef option too -- I live right around the corner so I'm here often and would love more variety to mix things up. Great flavor overall, will definitely be back!

I usually order their noodles, but this time I decided to try their Japanese curry. The flavor was good but there was hardly any chicken in it. It was no better than what I can get from a microwaveable instant curry packet at the supermarket. I've voiced my opinion with the server and I will try it again in the future to see if any improvements are made.

See all

I tried this place for the first time last Friday night and was very happy with it! It was around 7pm and we got seated right away. It's kind of a small place so maybe we got lucky! The atmosphere inside is very cool and intimate. I ordered the Spicy miso Ramen and it was great! The miso was just right and the pork was perfectly cooked. They were advertising some drinks - strawberry milk and matcha with boba that I didn't get to try but they looked delicious! I will be back :) read more

I tried the Asahikawa Ramen and it was great. It is a Sou Sauce base ramen which I usually never get and that's because soy sauce base ramen is often to salty for my liking. This was no different, however it was still really tasty. I ordered through Grubhub and my order was ready as soon as I arrived. The employee quickly confirmed my order and gave it to me. She was very polite and quick to help. Giving it five stars because it was so delicious even though I usually avoid the soy sauce base ramen from any place yet the toppings, the soup, the noodles, and the service were five star quality. I'll give this place another go soon and probably get their spicy miso option or this interesting ramen with baby scallops in it. read more

A friend let me know that Tomizo was opening the night before. Tired of quarantine cooking, I decided to check it out. GLAD I DID! It's really good. Theres only 1 other ramen place I like...and for sure, Tomizo is the new favorite. I ordered both Miso and shoyu ramen. The broth is rich in flavor, not like the typical ramen joints around here. (All of the ramen joints around start their broth good...and once they get constant customers, they tend to start watering down their broth. I hope Tomizo sticks with their recipe.) The tamago (egg) is soooo good. There's really not too many places where they take the time to do the egg that way. I appreciate it. I never add tamago as an add-on, but at this place I definitely will. My 5 year old daughter was like daddy! The yolk is like honey! Mmmm! The gyoza hand made, not frozen. It's legit. I might go just to order gyoza if I'm not in the mood for ramen. I wish I had it fresh fresh. It took me 12 minutes till I got home and went to town on it. The karaage is really good. I tend to not order karaage at ramen joints but this one is reaaaaaaally good. The meat was juicy and tasty. You can tell they're using quality chicken. We'll see how long that will last. If I were to write one "eh" thing...their chashu was pretty salty. My wife loves super salty things so she liked it... That's it though. Anyway, I rarely use my account to write good reviews...but I felt I had to write this review because people should know it is waaaaaaaay worth it and to help out this new business in this unprecedented time. Next time I go, I am going to try their spicy Miso. Probably next week! read more

THE REASON FOR THIS ONE STAR IS FOR CUSTOMER SERVICE!! As a restaurant manager I know the protocol of restaurants when a guest ask for the manager the server is suppose to go get the manager not tell you that they can't ! I've been to this restaurant maybe twice prior to tonight and I love the food! My coworker decided to drop in with me to taste the food . She loved her chicken but not a fan of the ramen ... after talking to the server my coworker tried to just substitute of trade in the ramen for something else but the server did not help !! Instead went to the back "to talk to her manager" and he never came out after having to stand up for 20 mins acting as if we were going to leave he came out !!! I would've never spoke to the manger had our Server (young Japanese women with blue skunk stripe) never discriminated me and my coworker asking if we couldn't "afford our food and that's why she was trying to send it back" another thing is she was cursing at us and calling us bro .... She was very unprofessional ... this place just needs better servers and customers service... SHE TOLD US SHE WASN'T GONNA GET FIRED SO IT WAS NO POINT IN CONTACTING A MANGER AND THE STORE DIRECTOR!! read more

I like this spot. We came here because the wait for Shinsengumi Yakitori was too long and were…read morereally glad we came over. The restaurant wasn't full yet but it filled up very quickly after we sat down (shortly after Shinsengumi opened). There's a decent amount of seating inside and it's very lively. We had our kids with us and didn't feel too self conscious when they were making a ruckus lol. I got their Tokyo Yatai ramen with extra noodles and an additional side of curry rice. It's a solid meal if you're by yourself. I'm not sure why it's called Yatai but I understand that word is associated with those shop stands that cook food on the side walks. I'm a big fan of food stalls so this bowl of ramen gave me those kind of vibes. I loved it. It was well balanced and the noodles were delicious! The side of curry was delicious too!

The dipping broth is so well flavored and goes amazing when dipped with the noodles. I liked the broth so much I tried it on its own, but it was too salty and not meant to be used for drinking. The ramen came with half an egg, and a slice of chashu. Egg was perfect- not too runny or cooked. Chashu was tender. Really loved this and will definitely come get it again. Fried rice side- really flavorful and tasty. It had some meat pieces and fishcake pieces inside. Gyoza - got the kurobuta and garlic flavor. Unfortunately this fell short of my expectations as the top of the skin wasn't crispy at all. The filling was juicy, but had a bit too much ginger taste to it.

The steak was tender - the teriyaki sauce was spot on. I also liked the macaroni salad which was hiding behind the lettuce. However, the sashimi and tempura missed the mark. While the slices of sashimi (e.g., tuna, salmon, and yellow tail) were fresh, they were cut way too thick. The assortment of tempura tasted good, and was crunchy, but was battered way too heavily. It felt like the batter was the focal point of the dish instead of the vegetables and shrimp, which I could barely taste. The service was excellent. Our server was attentive even though the restaurant was packed with people. The food and drinks came out fast. They served our sodas in chilled mugs, which was a nice touch. I didn't enjoy the fact that it was uncomfortably warm in the restaurant (it was hot that day). I don't think the AC was running. However, I won't count this against the establishment since the server stopped by our table to apologize about the warm temperature in the room. Some final thoughts about this place. -We came right at opening. The place filled up pretty fast. -There was plenty of parking behind the restaurant. -If this restaurant had executed the small things more effectively, as opposed to focusing on preparing the food quickly, this could have easily been a five star write up.

Having worked in the restaurant industry for over 10 years, I've always held deep respect for servers and have never left without tipping--until this visit. The evening started normally enough, but things quickly became uncomfortable due to our server's odd behavior. My husband ordered a beverage, which was then left sitting behind the counter. When he politely asked for water later, the request was forgotten, forcing him to ask another employee. What made the experience particularly unpleasant was overhearing the server's interactions with other customers. The tone was consistently abrupt and seemed to carry an underlying bitterness that created an awkward atmosphere throughout our meal. It was uncomfortable just witnessing these exchanges. The server clearly had favorites--lavishing attention on one particular table while largely submitting a different vibe to all others. This became glaringly obvious when the server actually gave my husband's ordered beverage to what appeared to be friends seated at the neighboring table. When our bill arrived, it was simply dropped in front of us with no pleasantries, no inquiry about our meal, nothing. We wanted to order dessert but were curtly told none were available. I've never experienced such negative energy in a restaurant. Despite my strong belief that tips should always be given, I found myself unable to do so. Tips are earned through service, and when you're made to feel invisible by the staff, it's difficult to reward that behavior. The food itself was quite good, which makes this experience all the more disappointing. Unfortunately, I'll be hesitant to return, as I wouldn't want to encounter that uncomfortable atmosphere again. read more

Okay, so I'm always on the hunt for a good ramen spot, and Tomizo Ramen in Gardena did NOT disappoint! I decided to try their Shoyu Ramen, and wow, it was exactly what I was craving. The broth was rich and flavorful - you could definitely taste the chicken, pork, and dashi, but it wasn't overpowering. The pork belly chashu was melt-in-your-mouth tender, and the bamboo shoots, egg, and seaweed were all perfect additions. They use a medium straight noodle that I really liked - it had a nice bite to it. Honestly, it was just a really satisfying bowl of ramen. But the best part? My 7-year-old son is a super picky eater. We usually struggle to find something he'll actually eat at ramen places. Tomizo has a kid's noodle for only $5! We chose the shoyu broth, which was perfect for him, and he slurped it down happily. That alone makes this place a winner in my book. The service was also friendly and quick. The restaurant itself has a nice, casual atmosphere. We'll definitely be back to Tomizo Ramen - it's a great spot for a delicious and affordable meal, whether you're a ramen aficionado or just trying to feed a hungry kid! read more

If you're craving a warm bowl of comfort with a little attitude, this spot delivers. The spicy miso came in hot, "literally," with a deep, savory broth that hits you with that slow-building heat you feel in your chest. Rich, bold, and exactly what you want at a ramen joint that leans into that late‑night vibe. The Tomizo ramen is the sleeper hit here. Unique, layered, and different enough to make you pause mid‑slurp just to appreciate how well-balanced it is. It's the kind of bowl that makes you rethink what your "usual" should be. And listen... the deep‑fried gyoza, Wow..Crispy, golden, and straight-up addictive. The crunch-to-juicy ratio is wild, like they engineered it in a lab. So good! Easily one of the highlights of the meal. Service was great across the board, friendly, fast, and attentive without hovering. The whole place has that cozy, tucked-away ramen bar energy, perfect for late-night cravings or a chill solo bowl. Overall: comfort, heat, crunch, and great vibes. A solid go-to when you want ramen that actually hits. They're open late as well. I will definitely be coming back for more. Miguel C. read more

Great Find for Late Night Ramen! I recently visited Tomizo Ramen and really enjoyed the warm, cozy atmosphere and fast, attentive service. **Spicy Miso Ramen:** The broth is rich and flavorful, perfectly complementing the corn and egg I added. It could use some seaweed for an extra kick. **8/10** **Tomizo Ramen:** Loved the garlic flavor and the noodles were spot on. Added an egg, but like the miso, it would be better with some seaweed. **7.4/10** **Fried Rice:** Don't miss out on this! It's light and pairs well with any ramen. Definitely a spot to check out if you're craving ramen after hours. read more

Before I start my review, I want new customers to know that the restaurant accepts only card. We…read moreoften buy from restaurants that have cash as their primary payment--so just wanted to give a heads up for anyone who also spends this way. Now, back to the review. Came at 11:30 and around that time, the restaurant does an excellent job of giving the right portions. I ordered the beef bowl and got way more than expected. They gave an additional salad with lettuce and miso soup along with my beef bowl, and their amount of beef and rice is perfect. I go to many Asian restaurants and I am quite aware of the extras they give along with the food. Though, the restaurant is very generous for their portions. The thinly sliced beef was so tender and comforting paired with the white rice. The meal was warm and hearty, and I found myself very comforted by the dish. In the review, I will discuss the thoughts on atmosphere and go into the depth of details of my experience if necessary. Atmosphere If you are looking for a place with an atmospheric ambiance that feels like the streets of Japan, with every corner of the wall that looks like stalls to a neon street market. The restaurant design has a modern, retro touch with vintage Japanese decor. The temperature is cool, feels comforting and less intense. From across the grand opening, fluorescent lanterns hang from the roof of the stalls--illuminating the restaurant. The floor decorated in chalk imitates a crosswalk, and down the path you can see the seating area. The proximity of the seats are slightly close for my liking. As a person who has a preference for a bit of distance. However, if that is something to your liking, you may take that into consideration. Staff The staff were very helpful and we especially were amazed by the woman working at the front who lead us to our seats with a bright smile. The waiter was very considerate to their customers needs and takes them very seriously. Even when busy, they do keep track of who needs assistance so that they can help after they are finished with their task. The chefs also did an amazing job with their meal and I want to make sure they get the appreciation also, for their hard work. Thank you, Daikokuya for the atmospheric, and delicious experiance!

I'm so glad Daikokuya opened up in Torrance! I've been to their other locations throughout LA and…read morethey're always so packed. I can see this location getting really busy given the location. We came during their soft opening and it wasn't too crowded. The layout of the restaurant is a little weird with a very narrow walkway towards the back where it finally opens up to more tables. There are booths lining the narrow walkway and if you're lucky enough to sit in them, they feel pretty secluded and given a lot of privacy with the curtains. We got a few apps to start and I thought the shio tare cabbage was alright, nothing special. The gyozas were solid - maybe next time I'll try the karaage. They don't have a kids menu and we were so eager to order that we completely missed all of the ramen combos, which would have been an excellent option to share with kids (ramen plus a rice bowl of your choice). I got the daikoku ramen and it was just as I remembered it from their other locations. Rich broth, al dente noodles and the egg was just right. I'm glad that a tried-and-true ramen spot has ventured its way to the South Bay.

I think 2 or 3AM to cater to the Japanese and Korean drinking crew. It was a great hang, and they had a lot of really good options. Needless to say, it was the best option at 1AM on a Tuesday. I came dozens of times over the years, and it was never outstanding, but it was good. I last came here in 2019, and enjoyed it. They had the same person working, from when I first started coming in the 90's. And he is really good at his job. It was what I expected it to be; a well priced mediocre food spot. At that time, they had a good special which was a roll and ramen. I went back, and unfortunately, this may be my last time ever going to it. It wasn't good....... They cut the roll in 1/2, so the special wasn't even a good deal anymore. But, even more disappointing was the ramen. Like, really disappointing. If you are the business owner, I wish you well, but you have to make changes if order to survive. I see the attraction; it's a legacy business in a wonderful location. Today's ramen had a few disappointing things. The egg was overcooked, and had shell. This is easy to fix. What happened to timers? The shell could easily be fixed because you could rinse the egg after you peel. Also, the "chasu" was not good. Like, wrong texture and dry. I'll check back on the reviews to see if things have turned around. I should have known when I came in, by the lack of Asians dining. If your goal is to serve those who are not discerning or aware, well, best of luck. So, I have a new rating system......I will be write what I feel honestly about an establishment. The only ratings I will give are 5 stars, which is enjoyable, or 3 stars which is "needs work."

There's usually plenty of parking in the shopping center. Only tip is try to avoid heavy lunch or dinner times to ensure a table. We often just take it to go if it's super packed.

They have both regular table seating and a center area with revolving sushi, which was fun to watch. The sushi plates are color-coded, making it easy to see the price of each item. The staff was very friendly and welcoming. The sushi tasted fresh, and new rolls were constantly coming out, so there were always plenty of options to choose from. Overall, it was a fun dining experience, and I would definitely come back for more sushi!

We came a few weeks ago on a Thursday night with a party of 5 at 6:30 pm. There was plenty of…read moreseating. The ladies who served us were so nice. And EVERYTHING was so delicious. We shared: - bossam pork belly wraps- so good. The sauce and veg it came with were delicious. - pork neck stew- spicy and good. - Since they ran out of lots of the pork bones they supplemented with a bowl of galbi jjim and it was so good/ very beefy and clear broth. Well seasoned and salted. - bibim naengmyeon- we asked for the spicy sauce on the side, but ended up mixing it in. So good and chewy and spicy. They gave us a complimentary bowl of the mul naengmyeon which was also so delicious and refreshing. - seolleongtang- it was so beefy and delicious. The banchan were so tasty. Definitely would come back to try more dishes... and eat the same ones from before haha!!

So this is my honest experience of this restaurant from my visit today at dinner time…read more It's not good. It about 60% full. Our food was mediocre at best. We ordered the galbi combo with spicy tofu. Soup was under seasoned and inedible. The galbi was the cheapest flaken cut you can buy at the Korean market. Its was fatty and full of gristle and was not cooked and was raw in the middle. The staff in Korean were bad mouthing and so sour working there it was sad. If you under staffed and unhappy then go to the back and scream and cuss but Why are you so sour and make sure the customers can hear you while passing by with the food and complain it's too busy ? There was one elderly lady maybe in her 80s with possibly her two daughters. They were sitting there for at least 45 minutes when the waitress came up and said I just want to double check your order that's when they realized that the waitress didn't even put their order in they were saying in Korean that please don't leave. Granny is here and we will get the food out as soon as possible and yet as they were leaving the table, you can see them with a smirk on their face. It was disgusting. The worst part is isn't actually even over there must've been a table of 20 across from us celebrating a birthday and they were there before we were and they must have been served at least an hour after us and the waitresses were so rude to them. I felt so bad for that party, but they looked so laid-back. I don't know if they really even noticed or cared. We ended up trying to pay for 10 minutes to get out of there and finally just got our own containers from the weight station a plastic bag and as they saw that we were leaving they finally took our payment Maybe this was an off night maybe there was a different cook in the back maybe they were so busy that they just couldn't pay attention to flavor any of their food or cook it thoroughly. Maybe they were short and someone called in for staffing. All I know is everyone with the prior reviews seem to have great service and food, but this is definitely not what we experienced and definitely not what the table behind us or the table in front of experienced This was by far hands-down, the worst experience. Hopefully this never happens to you cause we'll never come back.
