I don't like tsukemen, but Daikoku ramen is pretty close to the Japanese flavor.
I feel like the taste has gone down from before.

Their chasu pork was excellent! They didn't cheat by boosting it with lots of rice, they had generous serves of both pork and veggies. And the staff are very friendly.

This restaurant is very overrated. The food isn't that good, the restaurant is truly basic, and the staff aggressively interrupt you when you're talking to whoever you are with.

In my opinion, this place is only for weebs who want to pretend as though they're in an anime or something.

Broth was delicious! Only thing the scallions weren’t fresh and had a terrible after taste

Starting off the aesthetic of the restaurant reminds me of an authentic Japanese restaurant but the quality of the food was interesting…
The smell of the restaurant should’ve been my first thought, for some reason the broth had a strong almost spoiled odor. The soup itself was kinda cold after 3 mins and was not very flavorful. Def would go somewhere else. The waiter was very good and attentive so I will give them points for that. Edit: Ended up getting food poisoning :( We keep vomiting and have diarrhea. I’m actually so mad…

Such a cute place. The girls and I came here for lunch and we loved it lol. I thought the to go containers were funny cause it’s ready for me to take home incase I don’t finish. The food was nicely portioned and the price ain’t bad. Shoutout to the cooks for the pleasant food.
I also thought they’re prepackaged utensils were so COOL! Comes even with a tooth pick and the chopsticks are great quality ?♥️

Famous ramen shop that lives up to its hype. They are extremely busy so the fast paced nature of the staff may make you feel a bit rushed as you're eating.
----------
Daikoku Ramen (add kotteri flavor)
Grade: A
Finally another place that has extra rich broth that enhances the flavor per bite. Kotteri flavor adds little fat globules that have a ton of fatty pork flavor and really brings out the richness of the broth in my opinion. May be too rich for some and personally I don't drink the broth.
----------
Salmon Bowl
Grade: B+
Might try some of the other rice dishes as the quality in the cook or their rice is incredible. Just the right amount of bounciness while still remaining sticky but not clumpy. Only docked a little couple of points because the ratio of fish to rice was a little bit off (too little fish for the rice).

Food was very underwhelming. I saw a huge line pre-covid, wondered what it was about, visited after Covid. Maybe it went downhill but the food was sub par, Menya-Ultra in San Diego is much better.
