My friend and I ate here during our trip to Little Tokyo. My friend ordered the Pork Katsu Curry while I order the Mabo Tofu Ramen. We also ordered the Beef Menchikatsu on the side. The food was very delicious. Plus the service was very good. My friend and I will definitely go hear again.

Went here last night with my daughter after the SC volleyball game and I had the Kouraku ramen and my daughter had the regular tonkotsu ramen and takoyaki. All delicious from the broth to the seafood in my ramen and the pork was delicious in my daughter's ramen. Prices were reasonable. Staff were friendly and attentive. Will come back.

I saw it's marked as temp closed but I went ahead and decided to check it out. As of 10/16/2025, it's closed.
Gave 4 star since I couldn't find any official posting.
