Finally, a desert ramen spot that gets it right! Torakichi delivers legit bowls without the drive to LA/Riverside. The spicy chicken broth is where it's at. Rich, complex, and seriously flavorful. Word to the wise: stick with level 2 spice and order extra on the side. I've tried level 3, and unless you're looking for a serious heat challenge, level 2 gives you all the flavor without destroying your taste buds. Best part? They include a full egg in every bowl at no extra charge. Most places upcharge for that. They also offer variety beyond standard pork broth, including a solid vegetarian option. Service is attentive without hovering, prices are fair for generous portions, and the modern vibe with newer music beats the typical ramen house atmosphere. This spot fills a real gap in the desert dining scene. Definitely adding it to my regular rotation! read more

The chicken karage was so good! It came out hot, moist and with a good coat of a nice crunch batter top. So yummy! Big pieces, just wish they gave more! Big juicy fried chicken pieces :) would def get again, we actually did order another 9/10 Shared a bowl of mild spicy tonkastu ramen with thick noodles (which aren't that thick?) I liked it. Good soup and noodles were cooked right. Only 2 slices of pork. Not bad! 8.5/10 Service is good people were nice and we got seated immediately read more

Torakichi is a great spot if you're craving ramen. Service is friendly and quick, the restaurant is clean, and there's plenty of parking. I had the Spicy Chicken Ramen at level two spiciness which was just right. The broth was rich and balanced, and the noodles were nice and bouncy. My friend loved their Chicken Black Garlic ramen too. Prices are fair ($14.50-$16.50), and they don't skimp on ingredients or serving sizes. read more

Sever was nice and friendly even though I didn't get her name fast service. Would be back read more

I just had the most delicious Tonkotsu Miso Ramen in La Quinta! Craved ramen and found this place situated in a shopping center adjacent to Costco. Only 13 minutes from La Quinta Resort & Club. The place was busy, until I realized there's a bunch of people waiting for the takeaways or phoned in orders. Friendly waitresses asking if it's dine in or takeout. I smiled and said dine in and they got me a table. Did I say it was busy? I came around 7p on a Thursday and it was full of locals. Great energy through the restaurant. It sure does have a welcoming vibe to it. Thanks for a delicious dinner! It hit the spot :) read more

Torakichi Ramen - La Quinta - Vegetarian Ramen Iced Matcha - Ramen Near Me - La Quinta, California

I've been to some more popular ramen spots in LA and was surprised by Torakichi. It's not the best but certainly better than some I've had in the city. Pretty darn good and authentic for the desert which I'd say, traditional Asian fare is not as well represented. I got the spicy tonkotsu in the spiciest option. It comes with thin noodles but I requested thick. Noodle texture had a great bite but seemed thin for a thick noodle. The broth was full-flavored and solid. The spiciest option was actually hot and they got the level just right for me while still being enjoyable. Like many other ramen places, you can get a refill of noodles for just $3. I always try to portion out my broth so I can get at least one refill. The noodles come out piping hot so it also heats up the broth left in the bowl. Makes me feel like I'm getting a whole second bowl for just three bucks! read more

3.5 stars rounded up! The geso fry and potato croquettes here were delicious and nicely fried and we ordered two of the tonkotsu black garlic ramens. The meat was not good at all--slightly tough with a weird flavor to the point I did not finish mine. However the ramen itself was good and the waitress was attentive. read more

Torakichi Ramen - La Quinta - Tonkotsu Black Garlic Ramen - Ramen Near Me - La Quinta, California

When I walked inside, it had a cleaning chemical smell. It made my hunger go away really fast but we had to eat. I got the black garlic one and surprisingly not bad at all. It had way more flavor than the original and miso. My mom don't like the miso much. The kids combo came with fries but watch out for their seasoning, kids might think it spicy. Overall it was ok for a quick meal! read more

the most addictive vegetarian ramen ever.also excellent chicken karrage. industrial decor, amazing food. you will not regret. for me a FIVE STAR at REASONABLE PRICE, when I crave ramen this is my favorite place read more

Absolutely the Bomb. Spicy Tonkotsu Ramen. Extra spicy. Extra egg for $3 & extra broth for $4 so you can keep the party going long time...worth every cent. Sooooo good!! Ordered online for pickup so no mention of ambiance. Ended up calling in to order due to a question and a male answered and was so nice! Thank you so so much! read more

I have sat there before in the past and the service was excellent. Today I went in at 3:41 PM. Ordered my food and paid for my food for a to go order. Several parties were seated after me and still got their food before me and I left at 4:12. They need to work on this because I felt like I was left out. And I left a 15% tip now I wish I didn't read more

Torakichi Ramen - La Quinta - Proof - Ramen Near Me - La Quinta, California

Found this gem near the resort and were pleasantly surprised how good it was! Plenty of parking and we were seated right away. We ordered chicken karaage, garlic edamame, and gyoza; all the apps were very good. We ordered the mild spicy tonkotsu ramen, black garlic ramen, and chicken ramen. The broth was good, eggs were perfectly cooked. The noodle serving size was slightly smaller than what we are used to, but the prices reflected that. Service was prompt and friendly. A good ramen shop in the desert. read more

Im from out of town, specifically up north. I came down to visit friends and family, to enjoy they're company. Many of them recommend me to visit this place, because they love the food!! So a group of us went, immediately felt uncomfortable, one specific server she had glasses and red hair made us feel like we couldn't even ask for help or order our food. Every time we wanted something we were to nervous to ask the waiter for help. Especially when we noticed she kept rolling her eyes and grunting at other customers who were asking for service. I strongly believe that if you hate your job, it isn't for you and they should not work in customer service. Don't get me wrong the food was AMAZING!!!!! You just have terrible service from that one young lady. Getting upset that people are coming INTO your restaurant to eat and enjoy the food. Only for it to be a really bad experience because of ONE server. read more

I have visited the Tokarichi restaurant located near the Palm Springs airport and I did enjoy my meal there. I ordered the Tonkatsu Ramen with a side order of gyoza. The restaurant itself was of moderate size and it was quite popular with a good turnaround of customers. Service was prompt and professional and my order was processed with little waiting. The food was perfect with an excellent price point. I strongly recommend this restaurant and will be back if I am in the area again. read more

Very rude service she told us that if tables clear up they will attend us but didn't picked up the payment from customers that were done eating so the tables wouldn't clear until the customers will get up and go to the register and pay because the were tired of waiting. After this she came to us and told us that they were backed up and wont be able to sit us with a very bad attitude she even told one of the persons there that if she wasn't happy she can join in and help clean tables very unprofessional!!!! read more

Fantastic. Tonkatsu ramen broth and the Veggie broth were both delicious. Ordered delivery and although they weren't labeled which was which both were fantastic. Ordered delivery here about ten times now. Highly recommend. read more

We love the ramen here!!! The food itself is great. However; the service is horrific, my husband got to the restaurant 15 min before us , when I arrived he didn't have even a water because the servers had ignored him completely. After I sat down we were also ignored for another 5-10 min until I told a waitress with glasses and red hair if someone could take our order. She took our order like she was in a rush and left, we asked for a fork for my daughter and it never arrived, I had to go get it myself from the Togo station they have by the register. We got out food and the runner which had blonde hair was nice but one of her hairs was in our takoyaki, when I addressed it in a nicely way she looked at me like "what you want me to do about it" it was until I told her that if I could get a different order is that she decided to take it away from the table. We never got a refill of soda and the waitress never stop by the table until she took the check, and then they complain when you don't tip with a service like that. I myself work in costumer service and I can tell you the food is delicious but people will stop going if they don't fix their attitude. read more

This place SUCKS! Terrible service! The staff are adolescents and they just can't wait to get out of there! What restaurant closes at 7:30? I will NEVER go here again. Bullshit! read more

Always worn between the black garlic ramen and the spicy tonkotsu ramen... Good and quick service Quite ambiance read more

Mid mid mid. Food is mid. Service is mid. Nothing really stands out really. Decor is old and in need of update.

The food was so delicious, especially if you add their special chili paste . And the service was impeccable, especially with their little helper. The little helper makes the ambiance cool. (You have to go to see for yourself) We will be back! read more

Torakichi is located off Costco drive in a separate strip mall. It is at the corner and is quiet large. There is plenty of indoor seating. We came for take out on a Thursday night. They were not very busy at all. I ordered my food to be picked up at 5:30p.m. I arrived at 5:27p.m. The food was sitting at the table near the door already. They weren't busy so the lady that was sitting at the register in the car corner of the restaurant helped me with my order which again was sitting at the table by the door. It took me about 15 minutes to get home and eat my food. My chicken black garlic ramen was lukewarm. My noodles were hard. I had to let the soup which was separated warm up and separate the noodles because my first bite of the noodles were hard. After letting it sit, the noodles finally separated and were soft. The soya eggs were good. The soup was good but I think it would've been better hotter. I think if I ate the food there, I would've loved it. My husband got the chicken karaage rice bowl. I got a bite and it was quiet good. Actually, the chicken and rice were warmer than my soup! The spicy mayo that came with it was also good. I wished they had chili for take out though. read more

They continue to decrease the pork & green onions on the Chashu Bowl and who knows what else.. all I see is a bowl of white rice and a teaspoon of pork. No green onions. The prices go up the food decreases. How about adding more pork and green onions to the dishes that need it!! how can you take advantage of customers? read more

My son and I went back here for some black ramen which has black garlic in the soup. It was supper yummy. We had pork ramen on a cold rainy day. I liked it much better than the first time I was here about a year ago. Somehow you must give a restaurant two try's because the last three places we went were much better the second time around. Soups run about $17 or so but they are really big. read more

Great ramen spot. Lunch service was quick and efficient. I ordered the Tonkatsu Ramen and Geso Fry. The ramen broth was light and flavorful, the noodles were just the right texture, the chashu pieces were appropriately sized and all the other ingredients were the perfect accompaniments. The temperature of the ramen was spot on. The Geso Fry was a little underwhelming. The batter tasted a bit too oily for my liking. The dipping sauce on the other hand was delish. Overall, Torakichi Ramen is a great spot for anyone wanting a ramen fix. read more

The range was good. A bit salty and to much MSG. I had a stomach upset for 2 days. Was charged .50 cents for hot sauce. I asked for chili oil and was served something that looked and tasted just like the Siracha they serve for free Anyhow it was by first visit. May consider sometime in the future. Except for the stomach issue , the soup was good read more
