Big bowl of deliciousness! Authentic ramen we've been searching for in the I.E. We had the Naruto chashu ramen with medium spice and everything about it was perfect.
If you're a Naruto fan, this is your spot. Anime themed decor.

Food came out quick, but unfortunately didn't hit. Broth was not very flavorful, and the meat was a bit bland. Spice level was fine, but no other defining flavors to really make the meal hit home.

I went to this restaurant yesterday for the first time. I was going to scan the table for the menu, but the waitress offered to give me a paper menu. I didn't question it. I ordered the veggie ramen, but I requested to have NO bamboo. When it arrived, it was filled with bamboo. Did she not understand me? The ramen had an odd mix of veggies--but it was more like a Chinese Chop Suey mix than a good Japanese ramen. There was brown kelp, cabbage, bamboo, a tiny bit of corn, and bean sprouts. There were two tiny pieces of tofu, and that was it. The bulk of the veggies was the bamboo, which I didn't even want. I lived in Japan for four years--and there was nothing authentically Japanese about this dish. It was very disappointing.
Then, when I went to pay, I still had the paper menu on the table. It listed the veggie ramen at $13.88. The bill was $15.50 or more before tax. I questioned the difference in prices, and the woman said that the menu was 3 years old. Why would she give anyone an outdated menu with all the wrong prices? So backwards. It was my first visit to this restaurant, but it was also my last. Hard Pass!

Bought a curry pork cutlet and a origiri for lunch, one of the best curry pork I’ve ever had.

Ramen was excellent all the food came out hot and fresh. Our waitress was so attentive and the staff was friendly. They also boxed up the ramen for those who had wanted to take leftovers home! We definitely recommend this ramen shop! Loved all the anime references in there as well. The mural was cool and so was the large led display.

Well, this is upland so I didn't have hi hopes.. sadly I was correct. This place did juat about everything wrong.
The ramen had very little flavor... seems like they're diluting it to save costs. They did give 4 thick pcs a pork but completely intrimmed. I can definitely eat it that way but for most this will be a turn off. The pork was good, not great but not bad either. The ramen just over all was bad. Im curious where they get their noodles because they were very generic and not fresh.
The salmon sushi tasted old and tasted a lot like grocery store sushi (yes I've had grocery store sushi before and no im not proud of it but its true), the rice had a funny taste too (not not rice vinegar).. that's enough about the sushi.. it was bad, do not order sushi from here.
The spring rolls im also curious where they come from. They are not made in house for sure.. they are previously frozen and the sauce is also generic and high in sugar tatse. Avoid.
Lastly the chicken fried rice. So this is the first time I've ever had FRIED chicken in fried rice... its not a thing because its gross. What a disappointment . The fried rice was extremely greasy and oily, and I agree fried rice typically is but this was extreme. It also had corn in it. Which added to the distaste. Im sure there are places that put corn in their fried rice but id imagine it would be disclosed .. the menu doesn't say anything about corn being in it and it really didn't taste good.
I would absolutely avoid this place. Many times I find one reason to go to a place and will make that statement vht this places literally offers nothing but a generic cartoon and childlike atmosphere (which can be fun) with all bad food. Nothing was good. If the owner is intentionally serving bad good just to make a profit then okay by all means, people will pay it if you trigger their emotions with pictures of anime. But if they genuinly think they're serving good food then I feel bad.
Again, AVOID THIS PLACE SORRY

The sushi here is SO GOOD. The staff is also super nice 💕 we’re always greeted with a smile and thanked for coming in. They keep their restaurant very clean as well. This has become a go to for my husband and I.

Had the stewed pork ramen. Delicious, flavorful broth with tender pork. Asked for it spicy and it was actually spicy. Service was quick and friendly. Definitely coming back.

Delish! We ordered so much food but I only got a few pics 😭 the crunchy chicken ramen was so good. I don't remember what the fried jalapeno dish was called but it was my favorite lol. The drinks were so good too. All the teas.

Best ramen and best curry rice bowl ever
Great place brought me back in the time when I used to watch anime, Naruto was my favorite show.
I AM IN LOVE WITH THIS PLACE AND ITS RAMEN, I’m pretty sure I’ve developed an unhealthy relationship with their curry fried chicken hot pot udon noodle ramen and pretty much everything else on the menu. It got so bad one time that I had it 6 days in a row. Anyways that’s just a testament to how BOMB🔥 this place is! Even their sushi is exquisite and of fine dining 5 star Michelin. Ramen Ichiraku I love you!!!! So I leave this review in hopes that I get some answers as to why they’re closed indefinitely!!!! Please open up again!!!! Otherwise the drive out to the El Monte location doesn’t seem too bad 😔
WE’RE BACK BOYYYSSS!!!! THEY’RE OPEN AGAIN AND HERE TO STAY!!! WHOO HOO WOOT WOOT! 🎉🥳🎊🍾🍾🎉
It's closed down! 🥲
Naruto trademark got em??
