Hole in the wall. There is plenty of free parking. Open late. And the ambiance is very loungie. My kids loved it. Friendly staff. Had the garlic n ginger beef bowl w rice. And definitely enjoyed the original Ramen with the pork in it. It's their signature Ramen dish. Service is quick and efficient. Hidden late night eatery gem.

Did the spicy miso ramen recipe change?Before this would have been a 5 star review for me. Recently, like the last 6 months or so, the spicy miso ramen changed. I used to love the other one so much. It was my favorite ramen by far. I still come often to see if the old flavor is back but sadly it hasn't returned. Luckily the little salad, and the mix poke bowl are still delicious.I'm hopeful that the old recipe will return, otherwise I'll have to find another favorite ramen.Attached photo is how the old spicy miso ramen used to look. I miss it

Lots of flavor. The spicy miso ramen definitely had some kick! The fried rice was good but was a little mushy. The gyoza was not bad. Had a Sapporo draft. It was served in a brass metal type cup. Would have preferred a good old fashion frosted mug.

Spot is played out, the floor on the outside dinning section was beyond dirty and disgusting. All the wood on the inside is run down and chipped. The food was gross, ordered shrimp and it tasted like rubber. I wanted to throw up. Overpriced food that isn’t cooked fully by the “chefs” in the back.

If you want authentic Japanese ramen, come here. Daikoku ramen had perfect soup flavor and chewy noodle texture. Egg in the ramen was half boiled in perfection. We also ordered chicken karaage and donkatsu, both were satisfyingly crispy and juicy at the same time. I highly recommend this place. I felt that the staff took their food quality and service very seriously. The restaurant had very good vibe. I highly recommend this place.

The good, the ramen and the fried rice is top notch. The bad depending on the server you might have to remind them what is missing. Small dining area bar top seems larger area than table, outside seating available.

The best taken I have ever had, so flavorful. The quantity was so much I could not finish it all. Fantastic Ramen and the cashier pork was also suppppeeerrr delicious. I wish they had a bigger location as it only sits like 20 people and had to stand in the cold for 25 min waiting for a party of 3

Extremely dirty. I got sat by the bar at the very first seat when you walk in and just look up and around you. Everything is extremely dusty and dirty. You can tell that they don’t clean the muck around that place, what does that tell you about the sanitation of the restaurant itself? It tells you everything you need to know: That this place is run by shortcut takers. In addition, if you sit in the same exact seat I reference above you’ll find that if you look to the right there’s a squished cockroach against the wall. I guess the bug juices made it stick there.

I order take out after 39 minutes I asked where my order was at because 3 people that order after me had taken off already with their order.They tell I’m sorry we lost your ticket 52 minutes later my soup is finally given to me.

A very good ramen experience. The ramen was full of flavor and the ingredients were high quality. The shop is somewhat small, as typical ramen shops are. The service was very quick and our food was ready in less than 5 minutes. The shop itself is tucked away but has ample parking in the sizable parking lot provided.Vegetarian options: Several options for vegetarian only ramen, as well as other menu offerings featuring vegetarian optionsParking: Very large parking lot with upward of 40 spaces for the plaza the ramen shop is in. The plaza is not heavily trafficked, and parking should be readily available.

My first time here after hearing so many good things from my husband since he grew up eating at this place. We got the combo which was the noodles, rice with beef and a salad. I got their house special noodles which is the daikokuya noodles. Overall K thought it was ok. The noodles were a bit starchy. But the broth was creamy just enough, although I felt like there wasn’t enough char shiu meat in my noodles, just very little and thinly sliced. We also got CA rolls and they were very good. I’ll try other dishes next time.
