- Solid ramen, well priced, solid taste.
- Seafood Chirashi bowl was lacking for its price. $30 for two pieces of salmon and two pieces of yellowtail pieces and rice and some other insignificant toppings.
- Egg Mazemen had an overwhelming spiciness from the wasabi, and I love wasabi.
- Needs more servers, service was slow

Overpriced and some of the worst ramen in LA, drinks are ok

Service felt rushed, as if they were trying to turn the table (but it wasn’t even packed)

something’s not right about the broth. Too many sesame seeds, overly oily, and no umami. Noodles aren’t springy enough

This is my second time giving this place a shot. I’ve been to their Culver City location too.

House made noodles! Say less! This Ramen restaurant really stands out for its use of Yuzu and those noodles in my opinion. The Yuzu works so well in the broth and everything is cooked to perfection. I went with a friend and his baby son, the service was exceptional and they are very kid friendly. Plenty of space, a paid parking area but you can also find free street parking.

Must try their Yuzu Shio Ramen, very refreshing yet so delicious and just so well balanced. Their Karaage bowl also in my opinion one of the best. Perfectly cooked, juicy on the inside, crispy and delicious. Great service and the restaurant is very spacious and has such a cool vibe.

I love a good, spicy, satisfying ramen — and this place delivers. I’ve been twice and always order the Yuzu Ratan ($19.50) and Tori Karaage ($13). Both are consistently well-seasoned, flavorful, and beautifully plated. The yuzu adds a refreshing twist to the broth, and honestly, it’s so good I end up drinking the whole bowl. Great hangover cure!

The atmosphere is casual with friendly service, an open kitchen, and convenient public parking nearby.

Also, their Kyo-Tansan soda water is super fizzy — it lives up to the “extra carbonated” label, even bubbling up through the straw. My friend loved it, and the free refills were a nice bonus!

We walked from Little Tokyo to this restaurant on a Saturday night. There was no wait and we were seated right away. We ordered some drinks, crispy bok choy, the softshell crab tempura, and two ramen.

The ramen is different, the broth feels lighter. I almost finished my entire bowl, and didn't feel awfully heavy and fully afterwards.

Will comeback.

Decided to stop by while in the arts district for some ramen. We were rather impressed with the quality of the food and the service as Pedro attended to us diligently and professionally. We recommend having the yuzu eaten ramen!

Food was very tasty and fresh. I got the albacore donburi and the fish was quite fresh. Tom was my server tonight and he really gave great service, food and drink delivery was on time.

I had the hazelnut ramen. I was a little skeptical, but it came highly recommended and I was not disappointed! A little on the pricey side but I was pleased overall. Good service and nice ambiance.
