Ramen Restaurants near Pasadena, CA

“The food and service is a 10! we will be back when in town. I'd come from Montana just to eat here it's that good“

“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.“

“Love their selections of foods not too much not less just right and not complicated. My tummy is full and happy soul 😊“

“สนุกสนานอาหารอร่อย บรรยากาศดีมีระดับ“

“This particular spot, found in Little Tokyo can be found fulfilling your ramen cravings. I already knew what I came here for, but they have a tempting dishes on menu. From salmon sushi, gyoza’s, pork buns, and they’re quirky octopus balls. Comfy setting with service being on point. Enjoy your ramen!“

“We love the food at this restaurant— it’s unlike a lot of other types of cuisine. It’s become a staple in our house because of the unique flavors and the quality of food. We go for the deluxe with a side of broth and it is amazing every time.

The customer service is also excellent, we recently had a minor issue with our order that we placed over the phone, and the employees were so helpful and kind.“

“I am only rating the popcorn chicken Ramen! That is the item I've had 4 times. The restaurant is kinda hidden. If you ever go there, they are right in front of the alhambra carwash and its in a brick building.

The chicken is mild. Medium or hot spice level. Soup is super hot and tasty.

It is quite a treat. You should definitely try this item if its your 1st time. If you are mexican and like spicy like me get medium spice and xtra spice on the side in case you like it very spicy! Will definitely keep going.“

“We came because my wife grew up eating here and wanted to revisit. The flavors of the wood were good. I think the noodles in the ramen could be cooked 30 seconds less. All the ramen in our party had overcooked noodles. The extra ramen noodle we ordered was cooked fine. For some reason the extra egg was extremely salty. We could taste it in the yolk as well. The marinade had too much shoyu; I think it could have used more mirin and more dashi or maybe more water in general to help cut the salt.

We ended with a strawberry shaved ice. It tasted like strawberry milk, it was so good!“

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

“cause they doooopppe ya heard ?“

“I feel compelled to leave a review since this is the best ramen I’ve ever had.Not only that, but their service is OUTSTANDING.I was received with a smile, got seated right away, and I got my food 2 minutes after I ordered. I was impressed.And don’t let the speed to which I was served follow you…THE RAMEN WAS AMAZING.You can really tell how slowly they cook the broth and the noodles.I’m truly amazed!“

“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“

“The ramen was great and tasteful. The staff were pretty nice and friendly. However, we did receive the drinks before other incoming patrons, and after our ramen arrived. The gyoza came towards the end when my bf and I were full, so we didn't get to enjoy that portion as much. Everything else was good 👍“

“Hidden gem serving yakitori and ramen place in Arcadia!
The service was impeccable. Place wasn't too crowded, likely because we came on Sunday at 3 pm. Believe they also recently opened.
All dishes were well seasoned and balanced. I ordered several yakitori along with grilled herring, squid, and takoyaki. Definitely try the cold okra. It's refreshing and delicious! The grilled squid is so good!
I will definitely be returning to try their ramen. So happy this yummy yakitori/ramen place opened around Arcadia area. Saves me a drive to Tokoyo town.“

“Definitely come here since im s vegetarian i love the vegetable bowl... beyond great and also the vege springs rolls“

“very delicious👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍“

“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!“

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

“Hot take: way better than Silverlake Ramen down the street. Better portions. Better food. They can easily accommodate my kid’s random eating habits and they have options outside of ramen for that one person in the group that just isn’t in the mood. Staff is nice and attentive without hovering. So happy they’re back open again. The remodel is great! No notes from a design point of view.

Vegetarian options: Vegetarian options and modifications.

Dietary restrictions: That same kid is a vegetarian and they have no issues augmenting things for her.

Parking: Parking is shared with the small shopping center. Plenty.

Kid-friendliness: We always have our kid with us when we eat here. It’s usually her idea.

Wheelchair accessibility: There’s a ramp into the sidewalk. The restaurant isn’t cramped. Plenty of room for a few wheelchairs in there simultaneously.“

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

“Omg I love it here!

Had gluten free options for my bestie. Had the cutest vibes for pic and selfies. Great staff. 10/10 coming here everytime I visit LA ????

Dietary restrictions: My best friend is allergic to wheat and they were so accommodating and made sure she was able to eat and enjoy her meal ???‍♀️ thank you so much!“

“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 :-)“

“This was some of the best sushi and yakisobi noodles I've ever had in my life! Everything was SO flavorful. Often times it's those little hole-in-the-wall or strip mall spots that have the BEST food. This place definitely qualifies. Give them a shot. The dragon roll was everything!“

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

“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.“

“My go to favorite Ramen spot. My husband and I highly recommend the Mentaiko tonkotsu ramen & karaage chicken. So delicious. We’ve tried other ramen spots but we’ve always come back to this one.“

“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.“

“Staff 10/10 they were all so friendly and courteous tonight.

Ambience and decor is also great - small, but intimate setting.

Enjoyed the food - particularly like their perfectly crisp calamari rings and their truffle salmon blue crab tastes fresh and delicious. ??“

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

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

“Trying this popular ramen place and it’s yummy! They are crowded so I come early today to skip the wait!

Highlights of the menu:
1. Karaage
2. Spicy tuna rice bowl
3. Deluxe tsukemen - chashu pork, seasoned egg, spicy takana on the side
How to eat: dip noodles in broth - squeeze lime onto the noodles - turn dipping broth into a soup and SLURP!
4. Matcha Tsujita pudding
5. Chocolate Tsujita pudding“

“Their chasu pork was excellent! They didn't cheat by boosting it with lots of rice, they had generous serves of both pork and veggies. And the staff are very friendly.“

“Great food and service. My one and only complaint is that the light fixture above my table was covered in a thick layer of dust. I was actually afraid dust balls would fall into the food, luckily it didn't happy. Just dust your restaurant and it would have been a 5/5 experience!“

“Awesome place to eat Ramen“

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

“I have not been in this location. For quite a while. Last time was like 4years ago I think. The place was crowded then. Had to wait to be seated. Ordered the usual lunch special. Bbq pork and corn ramen and a side of fried tofu. The ramen as usual was delicious. The broth was not too salty, just right. However, the fried tofu was not tasty at all. Not as tasty as the one in colima rd branch.Overall it was still great. The waiter was really nice. Was there Dec 20 at 12:46 pm. So whoever was that tall waiter. He was nice. Definitely recommend everyone to tru the place.“
