“I was brought to this restaurant by a close family member and it's one of the best ramen places I've been to. I loved their ramen bowl serving and the Naruto ambiance. I can definitely see myself going back to this place again. I ordered the Naruto Chasu “
“Delicious ramen spot with really good deals! Been seeing this spot on Yelp for a minute and finally was able to come here a few times now. Service and staff here are really nice and the food comes out pretty quick. I like this spot for ramen because they have good combo deal with a Tonkotsu ramen + side + 1 drink for around $17.50 to $18ish. Totally worth it! The restaurant is cool and the decor is awesome. Definitely come through and try this ramen spot out if you're near El Monte. I don't think you'll be disappointed! Thanks Tonkotsu House Ramen!“
“Great ramen, great service and nice Japanese style atmosphere. Got the spicy vegan sesame ramen; could have been a bit spicier but i also didnt ask for a spice adjustment. Strong sesame taste with a slight miso taste as well. Overall good ramen, and their fried veggie spring rolls were delicious.“

“Hands down the best Mazesoba in town! Firm warm noodles with eggs that enhances texture. Topped with their special tan-tan style sauce and finished with chives, green onions, ginger and all that good stuff. Super friendly and attentive staff although I personally prefer getting it to go thanks to the speedy service. An interesting menu item is their signature Mazesoba but mixed in with curry sauce. You would think the curry would overpower the noodles but the taste still stands strong and shines through the curry to form something incredibly unique. Definitely worth trying if you're ever nearby.“

“Probably the best place I've tried sushi. Large portions and excellent prices. As a fairly big guy, I was pleasantly surprised that I couldn't finish two regular plates. The service is top-notch. My best wishes to this establishment“
“I have lived 5 minutes away from this ramen shop since mid-2022. And it wasn't until an idyllic PTO-fueled Monday afternoon that I bothered to check this place out. In my 5 years living in SoCal, I've tried countless ramen shops and they all were great and stand out in one way or another. I've baptized ramen as “The only soup worth eating” and this shop further proves the veracity, authenticity and validity of that statement. The broth is rich, the pork chasu is cooked to perfection, the thin noodles have the right amount of chew and the gyoza is flavorful. Nothing that you could not find at any other competent ramen shop, such as Hiro Nori, but this is located at the heart of Old Pasadena, the locale gives it a boost from 4 stars to 5 stars. I do wish they also offered Tsukemen, though.“
“Awesome place to get some great tasting ramen! The restaurant was nicely decorated, the staff extremely friendly and of course, the food tasted great. We had the veggie king ramen with an egg add on and spice level 3. Very good. I would definitely add a higher spice next time I go. They have a cool custom menu that you fill out while waiting in line to stream line the process. Big fan of the organization! Highly recommend.“
“I had lunch here today and I had a wonderful experience. The ramen and Gyoza were delicious. The service was great and the place was very clean. The owner came over just to say hello and offered me a complimentary green tea. The prices were also good.“

“Came here on a whim while running errands in the area. The portions here are HUGE. I ordered three specialty rolls - tempura Cali, hungry man, and the spider roll. The server said “It’s a lot of food, are you sure?” And I was like “Pffft. Challenge accepted. I haven’t eaten today.”DUDE. She was not kidding! As soon as I saw the first roll come out I knew I was in trouble. I think I still made a sizable dent (about half of each roll), but as you can see, the to go box is still packed full anyway.The service was fast and my server was very sweet. If you’re looking for large portions at a reasonable price point, this is the place. I’ll definitely be coming back, but maybe I’ll bring backup lolP. S. Pace yourself. I forgot how much rice expands when it’s in your stomach. I’m so full!!!“
“When thinking of soup in the Pasadena area we have our favorite places. Last Friday evening we tried this fairly new Ramen place that has been open about two years. When walking in we were greeted and seated quickly. The place was not so busy for a Friday evening but later more customers did arrive which is a good sign. We were seated and the menu was simple and prices were in the range of other soup restaurants in the area. We got our water and tea quickly and the servers kept our water glasses full. Very attentive staff. My wife ordered the gyoza and the Tonkatsu ramen and I had the Shoyu Ramen. Food was delicious and if you don't like your food too salty, get the more creamier Tonkatsu Ramen. My Shoyu ramen had spinach which was surprisingly delicious.The food portions looked small but once we started eating they were very hearty portions. I was not able to finish my noodles.We will definitely be back as they also have Mazesoba here which is dry noodles with egg. Can't wait to try these dishes.“
“We got the veggie ramen but changed out the broth for pork bone broth for a small fee and added an egg. It was great! ?Vegetarian options: Veggie ramen, tempura pumpkin, edamame, spring rollsParking: Located in a strip mall with lots of parking“
“I used to eat here often when I worked in Alhambra. I was in the area and decided to eat dinner with my daughter here.The ramen was just as good as I remember. I have recommended this restaurant to many friends over the years and I'm happy the quality of their food is still very good!I wish I could've met Akiko and her mom to complete my trip down memory lane.“
“Best ramen and pork rice was delicious ? at a reasonable price. Not like other spots charge over $20 and poor taste.Will be going back and will recommend to friends and family. Glad i found this spot because I was driving to Pasadena for the same soup. Customer service was the best too. Not greedy with hot sauce like other places too.“
“So I have ordered Takeout & Dined In before countless times due to the food and customer service being absolutely AMAZING & DELICIOUS! Each time I order, I'm never disappointed by the quality of the food. Also, packaging for takeout is perfect it never spills! I love this Ramen spot a lot and noticed I never wrote a review so it was time to do so. <3“
“I came here with my family on a Sunday evening. It's a sit down restaurant but not overly formal. The food here is delicious. I had the chicken karaage bowl that had great flavor and texture. The udon noodles and soup base were delicious as well. Can't wait to try other items on the menu.“
“I walked in on a Sunday afternoon and placed a large order. One of the items ordered was the chicken teriyaki bento box. Everything item on the plate was freshly made and delicious. There were 4 pieces of tempura veggies and 4 pieces of California roll. The chicken teriyaki bowls were just as fresh and contained an ample amount of chicken and rice. The owner was kind and gracious and friendly. An additional plus for that. This is a great place to go for sushi. The California rooll and the spicy tuna roll we ordered we delicious. I look forward to my next visit so that I can try the ramen. Hope you all give this place a try. You will not be disappointed.“
“Wanted to let everybody know Sushi in the Box's new location is in the Ranch 99 Market on Golden West in arcadia. They are now located in the food court in the far right hand corner all the way in the back. Their food is excellent and their service is very friendly always served with a smile.“
“I has the salmon truffle bowl and everything that came with it was fresh and delicious! They were even nice enough to give me a small sample of the truffle salmon to try before I ordered to make sure I liked it! Service was great and food was amazing...I will be going back to try the Ramen!“
“Solid ramen spot in South Pasadena, great, attentive, chill service on a stormof a Sunday, served food nearly after I placed my order, reasonable prices for portions given, generous on your chashu pork & kimchi for kimchi ramen, appreciate they saved me from overeating & just took the small portion of food I wasn’t able to finish. Broth & noodles were warm with good texture on the noodles. Didn’t even ask for a tip, pleasant surprise beyond the meal before I took off. Ambiance is definitely relaxed and they maintain a clean restroom if you need to use it of course. -would give business again“
“Been to the one in sawtelle before but it was my first time at this location -- the food was great as always. Loved the spicy tonkotsu ramen I had. The sides were available as an add on at $2.50 each. There wasn't too much of a wait as groups come and go fairly quickly. The service was friendly and the Japanese music gave the place a nice vibe.“
“Super bowls ?? delicious ?? good foodVegetarian options: I just didn't feel like gettingMeat productsthat day but they have different dishes with chicken and meat & fish ?Parking: Plenty ?Kid-friendliness: Very nice attending waitress ?Wheelchair accessibility: Is very accessible to wheelchair.“
“Yesterday was Good Friday. My family and I had originally planned to go have dinner at Grab Crab, but the wait was outrageously long. I believe that when I checked in, we had 18 people ahead of us. So, instead, we decided to go Sosom Ramen Bar & Bossam. Luckily, when we got here, it was nice and empty. We got seated right away, and the order was taken really quickly. This was our second time coming to this place. The first time we came, I dont remember much, but we decided to come back anyway. This round was much rememberable. The waiter was on top of everything, making sure we had refills on our water and gave us extra sides. He checked up on us multiple times to see if we needed anything else. Honestly, the food was just perfect. Like 10 min into our dinner, the restaurant started to fill up. The vibe with the customer everyone enjoyed their food. If you want to try Bossam, this is going to place. I don't think they will let you down. Meat is super tender, and the sauce is yummy. Just writing this makes my mouth water.“
“Pretty good and different options for noodles and noodle soup. Plaza it's in is also nice and has parking. However, the combos are sorta expensive and no longer allow you to choose the appetizer. And the biang biang noodles themselves don't come with meat. But still tasty“
“Awesome sushi place!!?I live the vibe and decoration in the restaurant ???I went with my friends and their family. The staff are very nice and the food tastes great! They have a lot of variety, including udon options! Good place to hang out with friends and is definitely a great place for family time (>^ω^<)“
“My only suggestion is update the drinks, they are not good the sake piña colada was not good and I tried my bf lemonade and wasn’t good in opinion and I saw in the back you guys use the powdered country time lemonade. Ewww I don’t want to waste 3-6 bucks on nasty drinks, I will drink water next time. The seating could be better to more cozy less like I’m in science class“
“Conveniently located on the corner of E Green St & N Oak Knoll, this place is not hard to find. It was buzzing with activity when we went. If you're lucky you'll find parking right out on the curb in front of the locale. If not, there's parking just a few steps away behind a couple of buildings. Once you're checked in they seat you as soon as possible. They have a fair amount of employees whom are tirelessly working like busy little ants, in order to keep things flowing in a consistent manner.As far as the food goes, their appetizer choices are plenty. Their drinks are priced well. And their sushi is fresh and delicious. I didn't take any pictures of the food this time out as I usually do, but I will my next time out. If you like sushi and you haven't visited this place yet. Do yourself a favor and go.WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?! GO!!!!!“
“The hype on social media was extraordinary, so I invited my friends from the local college to grab a bite. And here is how it went. (1.) They have a rule that the whole party has to be there to be seated. (2.) They serve drinks in a to-go cup, so be ready to get up asap. And (3.) Tip is already included: Does not matter what size group you have, two or three, you are still tipping. All in all , I would say don't believe social media but believe the food is still really good. A simple broth with an explosion of flavor. I would suggest getting garlic on the side (freshly grated). And don't get anything else. My friend did not like the flavorless chicken teriyaki bowl.. so stick to what they are known for.“
“Food is excellent, really tasty and would for sure to back. Giving it 4 stars instead of 5 for two reasons.. ambiance is ok, kinda putting lipstick on a pig of a building, but without a full remodel it's a decent job. Second reason 4 not 5 is that I've been to the Santa Monica location and the food / ambience was better, not way better but still better. Yum yum, if you like this type of food and want a casual dining experience, go try it out.“
“Been here a couple of times and it’s always good. Tried the bulgogi egg rolls, they were good just didn’t like the cheese on the top but they were really good. also got extra noodles and it was a great idea so we could all have some more!Parking: Can be kind of difficult to find parking but not impossible.Kid-friendliness: We’ve brought small children and there was no issues.“
“Everything about this place is 5 STARS!!! The sashimi is so fresh, the baked lotus roll is savory and AMAZING. The service is good, and the price is pretty inexpensive for the quality you pay for. I recommend this place to anybody who likes sushi. You WON'T be disappointed. :)“
“It wasn't my first time trying a live oyster, but there was still an element of surprise.Perhaps it's the Japanese style, the sauce seemed different and incredibly appetizing!Their selection of sushi rolls is extensive, and you won't need to read any reviews to decide. Each one is delicious!Don't forget to try the eel rice!!“
“I've never really had Ramen before, but I am officially a fan after coming here. The service was on point the same lady was assisting all four tables with complete ease. She was refilling everyone's water asking if we needed anything. She was on top of all of it even answering the phone and just from hearing other people telling her that they enjoy the meals I know it's not just me saying it. I think it's safe to say everyone in there had a great meal tonight. The restaurant itself is not too big. There is about six or seven tables in there with several chairs to each table and comfy couches to sit on. It's not the biggest restaurant but it's perfect the way it is all of the Naruto decor was pretty cool to see too. I love how they had pictures up and drawings up. It just made it feel more homelike and I appreciate that vibe. I ordered the udon noodles in my Ramen because I prefer the thicker noodles and was not disappointed at all super yummy. Super tasty. Lots of flavor packed into the bowl. Nothing was overpowering as a perfect amount of flavor. Overall, I genuinely enjoyed my time tonight.“
