“Good food, portions & service...“

“The food was delicious and the service excellent“

“No amount of poorly-written AI reviews can do this awesome place justice, so as always, you're getting a human-written review from a human-experienced event. Yesenia was our server and she was a 10/10 all-around super professional server from the moment we set fot in the establishment. The food itself is unmatched. I have been to their San Gabriel location at least 3 or 4 times and this place is just as good in terms of flavor and quality. The ambiance is great, the server even went as far as lowering the window blinds after some new customers walked in and they sat close to one of the windows. Tsukemen will forever remain as my favorite kind of Ramen (it's basically cold noodles that you dip in a hot and salty broth served in a small bowl on the side). One of the assistant managers offered to help me in how to eat it but I was already familiar with the concept, so I thanked her for her offer and proceeded to eat. The fried chicken is another ball game, it's literally Japanese fried chicken but they also add a touch of some sort of honey-based syrup that makes it 100 times better. My parents had the tonkotsu and it was great too. Truly a remarkable experience in the heart of Old Town Pasadena.“

“This place was awesome. the fish was extremely good and the service was fast. I'm not sure why it is rated so poorly, but I had a wonderful experience here and I would definitely return if I lived in the area!“

“The atmosphere and service are excellent! Unfortunately the food was just okay. Lacking flavor, I got the spicy quartz and my girlfriend got the standard quartz.
The chicken in the ramen itself was pretty tasteful. Had a hint of sweetness.

The chicken karage was excellent.

Overall it was okay. We'll continue to try the other ramen places on the same street.

Total for 2 ramen and 1 karage was $44. Not too bad.“

“We had a wonderful experience here!! Service was 10/10 and they helped make my friend’s birthday memorable. The ramen is delicious - not too salty or oily or heavy, and the broth is super tasty. This establishment has a rich history; ask the servers!

Thank you to Mija, our server, for an amazing experience!“

“Delicious! Can’t wait to go back.“

“Deluxe mazemen - 4.25 stars
Great bonito-based flavour with umami like a tonkotsu ramen. Too salty though.

Curry mazemen - 4 stars
Appreciated that this was less salty, with a curry flavour less sweet than the usual Japanese curry too. On the milder side.“

“สนุกสนานอาหารอร่อย บรรยากาศดีมีระดับ“

“Foods are good & service needs to improve. Myself & friends are first time to attend this Ramen place, overall we like the food & will go back!!“

“Very quick & friendly service at the Sunset location. All I got was a regular-size chicken karaage bowl and it was perfect. Tipped a little extra“

“A hidden gem in Montrose. Very good food, attentive service, reasonable price.“

“cause they doooopppe ya heard ?“

“They've got noodles and doodles!

They have a awesome variety of Ramen and food. I've been the few time before. I like the fried chicken ramen. You could also draw on paper other colors pencils and crayons however you like whether you put it up in the restaurant or take it home.“

“This restaurant was amazing! The food was well cooking and seasoned lots of flavor in the Ramen broth and noddles, everything was prepared fresh. The staff was very attentive and kind, my friends and I had a great time there definitely will be coming back!“

“Their Tan Tan Men Ramen are the best! I love how I have the opportunity to customize our ground meat choices (I.e. ground pork or ground chicken). Topped with nori, baby bok choy, bean sprouts, hard-boiled egg, and ground meat, the ramen have the perfect flavor. Their chicken karaage were the best too!“

“Very well run and maitained. The Ramen choices are delicious with lots of options. Try the spicy chicken sandwich too!!“

“I’ve always passed by here but never tried it. So let’s see if they’re pretty good eh or ew. I got their spring rolls, takoyaki, and popcorn chicken ramen to try. The spring rolls were interestingly cut but very good. Crispy shell with savory veggie filling. Also came with a side of soy sauce for dipping. The takoyaki were crisp with a gooey center, topped with like a sweet mayo, and had a tender not too fish piece of octopus in the middle. The popcorn chicken ramen came with a BUNCH of MASSIVE pieces of crispy, juicy, savory chicken. Like can u even call this popcorn chicken still if they’re this big? Surprisingly paired well with the ramen which also came with came with green onions and pickled ginger, that helped add a brightness to the bowl and wood ear mushrooms, and half an egg. The broth was really savory but not super rich and oily which my sensitive tummy appreciated. The noodles also surprisingly stayed pretty chewy while I was eating them even tho they were soaking up the broth. This place is pretty good.“

“Simple and straightforward menu. It doesn’t make you feel overwhelmed looking at the menu. Staff are super friendly and attentive! Indoor seating only. Very clean! Portion is very affordable, I ordered one bowl and ordered extra noodles and an empty bowl. It was perfect for my two kiddos to share!

I really wanted to try the calamari but it was sold out. So definitely gotta come back next time to try it.

They have good mix of long tables for bigger parties and small tables for 2-4ppl. They can adjust the level of saltiness of the ramen which is awesome! Never been to a ramen spot that has offered that before.

Ordered 3 bowl of tonkatsu ramen, karrage chicken, beef gyoza, and a Sapporo. It was all perfect for our ramen loving family! Definitely recommend you checking them out!“

“I had a great experience at this ramen spot! The food was both delicious and very affordable, which was a pleasant surprise. They also offer alcoholic drinks — I tried the sake margarita and it was so tasty. The space is a bit on the smaller side, but it still felt cozy. My server, Amelia, was incredibly nice and made the visit even better. Overall, a great place for a flavorful meal and a good drink!“

“This restaurant is truly impressive — the food is delicious and high in quality, with fresh ingredients and great flavors. The prices are very reasonable for what you get, and the service is excellent. The staff are friendly, attentive, and patient, making the whole dining experience enjoyable and comfortable. Highly recommended!“

“very delicious👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍“

“My friends and I recieved great service! The grilled eel bowl is great, buttery eel with japanese pepper and rice. I had a katsu special with chicken breast, egg and onion broth. So flavorful, and the rice was perfectly cooked. My friend had the best chicken teriyaki bowl ever. Overall, I love this restaurant! This will definitely become a staple for me.“

“They have great lunch specials for both ramen and sushi! Plus validated parking, which is rare in Hollywood, on the Eastown property!“

“Awesome place to eat Ramen“

“Yummy 😋 Ramen noodles and good 🍶 Sake. 🍜. Funny, I spoke Japanese to the cooks saying thank you for the meal and when they turned to look I saw they were Mexiconos! 😂 Good cooks though! Gracias carnales. Reasonable prices for the area in authentic ambiance :-)“

“I ordered this off of Grubhub and was genuinely shocked because the ramen was that good. Broth was super flavorful! Chashu wondefully soft! You usually expect a mediocre level of quality when your food arrives 20 minutes after it's made and in a plastic container, but it was genuinely so delicious I'll have to go to this place in person and bring friends!“

“Tenkaippin what a surprising find I'm happy we wandered in...lol
The food was delicious the service was fantastic we got lucky enough to dine at the bar. Mayuka what's taking care of us her bartending skills are top-notch had an excellent conversation with her too had a great time in general start to finish highly recommended“

“la comida mui rica el servicio excelente lo recomiendo 💯%👌👍“

“love it nice clean, food is great I will eating there again“

“This is one of our go to Ramen places in San Diego, we love it! Our kids love it for the free ice cream at the end!“

“Great food and I was shocked at the affordable prices. I got for for 4 people and it cost only a little above $50, which is insane in this day and era. The Tonkatsu Ramen really was delicious and my family went crazy for the Mushroom Curry.“

“Very small Ramen restaurant. The Daikokuya Ramen with fried rice is delicious. Edemame was lightly salted and really. I noticed a lot of to go orders, so it is a local favorite.“

“Yummy Onigiri! Great for a light meal. The eel was tasty and there was the right balance of rice. I thought the spicy tuna was like that found in a poke place but it was more like the tuna you would use in a tuna fish sandwich. Still good though.“

“Yum! I loved the service, the food, friends and atmosphere.“

“The only place we’ll go in town! Their food is great and service is top notch :) the only thing .. I ordered three items today (2 rolls and one main dish) and got only one set of utensils lol. Please be more generous with utensils for togo orders. :)“

“We have been customers of Kai Ramen 4 years but because of destiny customers of this Arcadia location 2 years. Always worth the drive & with traffic on the 134/210. We are always greeted politely. The servers are always polite & detail oriented. Featured in the photo volcano ramen, spicy beef ramen, edamame, & spicy tuna crispy rice and gyozas.“

“Great spot for ramen, it hits the spot!“

“Great rolls. Big selection.... fresh.“

“This place was absolutely amazing! I normally don't review a place until I've been to it at least three times, but this is my second time and I just had to review it. The first time we came we ordered ramen and it exceeded our expectations and we also got the yakitori platter which was great because you get to try a little bit of everything. The broth on the ramen was super tasty. And we also got a tea which was really good. The Negima yakitori was my favorite! The decor of the place is super nice too and the music playing is really good. It's also very clean and you can tell a lot by how clean a restroom is. The second time we tried the tonkatsu omurice and it did not disappoint. It was absolutely amazing! The curry sauce that goes on top is 🤌 definitely a shareable size and you can get some yakitori on the side. For dessert, we had the cherry blossom jelly and it is one of the most unique things I've ever tried. It is a very refreshing dessert. The staff was also really nice and super helpful both times that we came. Asking if we had any questions on the menu and also just trying to make our experience the first time a really good one. This place is definitely 5/5. Highly recommend.“

“Quality food & service at reasonable prices 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻“

“TSUKE Artisan Noodle is absolutely outstanding. The noodles are perfectly cooked with great texture, and the broth is rich, deep, and full of flavor without being too heavy. Every ingredient tastes high-quality and thoughtfully prepared.

The tsukemen is especially impressive—bold, savory dipping broth paired with chewy noodles makes every bite satisfying. Portions are generous, and the presentation is beautiful.

The staff is friendly and attentive, and the overall vibe feels clean, modern, and welcoming. Easily one of the best artisan noodle spots around. Highly recommend and will definitely be back!“

“It was very nice. Loved the hellos and thank you for coming. I can’t wait to come back next time I visit the area.“

“The Daikokuya ramen is soo delicious and very filling.“
