One of the best Ramen places to go to, the food is great the wait time for the food is short and the servers are really nice and the prices they are at a reasonable price.

I've been to quite a bit of ramen spots around southern California and this one hits the spot like few others do. The Tonkatsu ramen has such a rich and flavorful broth like no other! Absolutely a must get, plus the Shoyo ramen is so comfortable and delicious. If you want good ramen this place is a must visit.

I have been coming to Mr. Ramen for years. I absolutely love the food and service provided and will proudly continue to be a patron of this business and recommend it to others as well.

During my last visit however, I had an incident where the spring-loaded bathroom door smacked me in the face as I was trying to brush away the curtain that separates the kitchen and front of house. The wind will inevitably blow the curtain in your direction and can potentially be dangerous!

I only mention this to warn other patrons to be careful when visiting and to potentially bring the matter to the attention of Mr. Ramen staff and management. As previously mentioned I look forward to continue bringing my business to this establishment and think this can be easily solved!

Food was okay but be aware with their pre-tip option on the machine. It’s more than as it should be. 👎🏼

I've been coming here randomly since 2008 and I'm very happy to know Mr. Ramen is surviving in recent years beginning with March 2020, then the summer of 2020, inflation, tariffs, the most recent rioting in Little Tokyo but most importantly the way businesses in Little Tokyo are being treated as traditional Nisei businesses are being forced to relocate out of Little Tokyo. It's the same Mr. Ramen you would walk into in 2008, being greeted, getting seated and hearing the Reggae music playing in the background. The window spot facing towards 1st Street has always been the spot I sit in.

As for my recommendations I would go with beef or fried chicken ramen with extra noodles, but the fried chicken ramen is better. And I would go with the beef or chicken cutlet curry (pictured here). I have never had anything else on their menu besides the miso soup.

I hope this place stays forever as nostalgic businesses in Little Tokyo are disappearing and Little Tokyo small businesses with Nisei roots need our business now more than ever. 🎋

The curry chicken is just that with egg(?) noodle, which was surprisingly tasty

Extremely slow service. Seating also took longer than it should. Food was decent but took almost 45 minutes to arrive. Servers were polite, just seemed overwhelmed and inattentive. Definitely a hole in the wall but good late night option that isn’t a chain.
