Mediocre ramen and gyzoa but surprisingly decent fried rice.

Ramen: their signature ramen is below mid. The tonkatsu broth lacks dimension. The bamboo shoots were disgusting: slimy, hard, and probably from a can. The noodles were standard factory noodles from Sun Noodle factory. This bowl was terrible compared to Japanese ramen chains such as ichiran or ippudo or afuri.

Gyoza: flat, no filling, no fried crust. What a waste.

I sound super negative about my meal here. If you experienced great ramen, then I guarantee you will find daikokuya not worth your time

The vegan Ramen is good with black garlic oil. Must try!

The vegan ramen was not good.....I had to force myself to finish most of it and would not recommend. The entire dish was just quite bad. The broth was nasty, the vegetables they used were terrible and they didn't even have tofu as part of the dish.

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 ?♥️
