KOTOYA JAPANESE RAMEN offers delicious miso ramen and flavorful broth options like black garlic ramen. Customers enjoy the bouncy noodles and perfectly salty cha shu. The restaurant’s cozy and clean dining room, along with friendly staff, creates a pleasant dining experience. It provides a lighter, less greasy take on authentic ramen, appealing to those seeking a flavorful yet light meal. The atmosphere is laid-back, with outdoor seating on a small patio featuring high tops and wood tones, and a touch screen outside to order and pay. The ramen is not as fashionable or hip as newer places, but it has a style that feels familiar, reminiscent of old school ramen spots. The broth is fairly rich but not overly so, and toppings are generous. The restaurant also offers vegan ramen, which is very flavorful and comes with fried tofu chicken that is also very good. Customers can choose regular or spicy, adjusting the spice level, and customize toppings or add extra noodles and broth.
Recent reviews highlight that KOTOYA is one of the few ramen spots in LA that keeps customers coming back. The taste and atmosphere remind visitors of ramen in Japan, though it might not be the best spot for large groups. The chef is praised for being involved and showing care in the food and restaurant, with customers noting everything is made to perfection. With lots of options and an excellent ramen experience, KOTOYA is considered one of Palms' best-kept secrets, offering great quality at a more affordable price. The quick and friendly service, along with the simple ordering process at a kiosk, makes it a nice, chill place for a satisfying meal.
