SUNDAY FOOD REVIEW...CAGAMI RAMEN...12/14/25! Today we went to Cagami Ramen, located at 1855 E. Daily Dr., in Camarillo, CA, for lunch. Scott and I split our lunches. I had their Katsu Pork and Shrimp Set, with white rice, and cilantro, and Scott had their Kaarage Bowl, which is lightly salted deep fried chicken on white rice, with sesame seeds. I have to say, I was very impressed with this little restaurant!!! Their food is DELICIOUS!!!! Both of us thoroughly enjoyed everything!!!! This is a small restaurant that packs a HUGE punch, and is obviously a locals favorite, as it was packed!!! I highly recommend it!!! My rating: 10++++

The recipe is very disciplined in Korean and Japanese broth techniques. Though the restaurant interior comes off Japanese, the side dish of red pepper paste (Gochujang 고추장) threw me off when I ordered the tsukumen. Again the dish was tasty and very well disciplined in its salt levels and flavors. The tonkotsu ramen tasted Korean broth but Japanese texture. This was an incredible fusion that I respect a lot. I’ve taken a peak at the team of cooks and they were non-Asian ethnicity. Most ramen shops operate the same strategy when cooking staff, but I’m most impressed with this team in the aspect of adhering to the disciplined flavor profile.

The service is always amazing. It is a low-key atmosphere with only a handful of tables. We love the food especially the gyoza and karo miso ramen!

Pretty good authentic Japanese restaurant. Make sure to try their fried tofu and salmon bowl. They will surprise you.

I just saw my old review of Cagami, it used to be so good. Had the tonkotsu last night and it was not good.. Tasted more like a chicken broth.. Gone is that rich tonkotsu broth taste. Sad 💙

5 STARS x100 ⭐️❤️ what stood out to me about this place was the eye catching interior! I couldn’t stop gawking at everything from the lanterns down to the tv channel they were broadcasting. but the real show stopper was the food! crispyyy takoyaki just how I prefer it instead of soggy.. the gyoza was the perfect amount of soft and crunch! and finally, the ramen was so hearty and well stewed I’d come back for seconds! definitely come check them out and make sure to leave room for the mochi ice cream 😋🍓

After 45 mins of waiting we still didn’t have our food. Two whole groups of four people and a couple next to us were served their food even when they walked into the restaurant after us. The manager didn’t even care to make things right.

A bowl of ramen is $20 and to add chili oil for $2.50 is insane
Food was extremely delicious here! I will be back. I was recommended this place by my coworker who had been coming for years growing up. He did mention the taste isn’t as good as before, but it surely does still hit the spot for ramen! In my opinion, it is quite a hefty price for some of their items, but food and quality does taste great along with their quick service, so I can’t complain much about it.
Their first top pick ramen was extremely flavorful especially with the chili paste that it comes with. Their chashu slices are thick and not thin like most shops now so you do get to enjoy the chashu a whole lot more. Plenty of typical add ons as any ramen shop should have.
Pork katsu was delicious and juicy. Not dry at all. Chicken karage was extremely juicy and actually burned my mouth a bit. So be very careful eating that one.

Small place. Good quality food. Had the items they were shouting out on their menu - ordered the handmade Gyoza. They were good but came out slightly burnt. Also had the Kara Miso ramen. Good flavor as well - noodles were delicate but chewy. Nice pork broth flavor. There’s something about ramen where an odd bitterness is rounded out at the end of the palate and it always throws me off on the flavor. Decent quality overall - but at $18 for the ramen (cheapest of all the ramens) and $13 for the Gyoza - the price was a bit high.
