Ramen Restaurants near San Gabriel, CA

“This place is a hidden gem. Unpretentious atmosphere and Japanese comfort food. Udons, ramen and my favorite... curry spaghetti! Its so delicious, I get a craving to go here fairly often. They make the curry in house, and its to die for. Staff is great and apart from the strip mall parking being full sometimes, there's really no down side.“

“Ordered for pick up a few times to avoid cooking during busy days.

Parking is very difficult during rush hour times for dinner specially. But I’m always glad they always have my food ready by 25 mins. They’re a casual dine in or takeout spot inside the plaza which shares parking with many other restaurants. You could technically park underneath in the underground parking lot for free if you’re going to dine in.

** Tonkotsu ramen - thin noodles. Broth isn’t salty but it’s oily. Flavors are ok - not my favorite out of all ramen places.

** Rice bowls: Small size but great for quick bites where you probably want to add some veggies to your dinner.

* Karaage rice bowl - nice and crunchy tasty chicken pieces - with loads of nori strips

* Chasu rice bowl - tasty and comes with half an egg! 🍳

* Takoyaki - tasty 5 pieces - soft on the inside - small pieces of octopus 🐙

Next - I’m coming back for the dipping ramen!“

“I loved the vegan broth options! Glad we could find a place that has more vegan friendly broth and toppings! Our server Jeraldine was awesome and she took care of our complicated order due to our food allergies! We will be back again!“

“Delicious! Can’t wait to go back.“

“สนุกสนานอาหารอร่อย บรรยากาศดีมีระดับ“

“Broth was delicious. The deep umami and subtlety of clam notes made the ramen stock special. Adding the sides they offer like, garlic crisps, were a plus. However, in my opinion, I felt like the ramen noodles did not give the dish its 100%. My partner said it was good overall and I am just slightly nitpicking due to personal preferences of noodles, which were too dense to my liking. I felt like the noodles took away the broth’s complexity rather than a nice balance. At the end I just kept drinking the soup. The chashu pork was tender and not dry at all.

Aside from the ramen, the appetizers such as the karaage, were crunchy and slightly juicy on the inside. The takoyaki was also nice as well.

Overall, the vibe of the restaurant felt cozy and modern, yet I wish they could have played some music to add a little more atmosphere. Service was prompt and quick.“

“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“

“Super late to the party but finally trying Menya Hanabi!! Been huge fan of Mazesoba and have heard amazing stories about this place. It’s pretty busy on Saturday lunch time but we got the last available table! Ordering was seamless with online order via QR scan. Took awhile until it’s ready, but understandable with the high traffic.

We got the deluxe one, which was complete package with minced pork, chashu, ajitama, and poached egg. In this economy, having this huge portion at less than $20 felt like a good win; especially with it being so palatable just like how everyone has raved about it.

The namban did make awesome side, serving huge juicy boneless chicken with crispy batter and yummy creamy sauce on top.“

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

“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!!“

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

“I was totally satisfied when we decided to go for a quick dinner at this ramen place in San Gabriel near the Hilton Hotel. I ordered the spicy ramen and it was sooo good. Love the spicy ingredients along with the thick noodles. 😋 My friends had the Tonkotsu instead. Both dishes are good. Would love to try the other dishes in the menu as well. 🍜😍“

“Can't wait to go back and try more ramen. Enjoyed the Chicken Curry ramen.“

“Amazingly flavorful and luxurious textured ramen. I ordered the signature, and the flavor was super rich and delicious. The noodles and toppings stood up to the strong intense chicken flavor.

Vibes were great, the ambiance was very pleasant and I appreciated that the staff offered a lot of water to go with the super strong flavored ramen. Couldn't ask for more TBH“

“Kosuke has great ramen- good spice level and veggie options. I love the popcorn chicken and the service is quick. I’ve typically gone during weekdays around 6-7 pm. The restaurant is small and not fancy, small parking area in the back, and pricing is decent.“

“ABSOLUTELY the BEST ramen I have ever had!!! The service is amazing, the fried pumpkin... off the hook!!! Spring rolls, yaaasssss!! I had the King Ramen...whoaaaaa! Daaaaammnnn!! You will NOT be disappointed. Thanks to the owners for the great experience.“

“cause they doooopppe ya heard ?“

“Didn't get the ramen but got the beef and spicy pork rice bowls. Both were absolutely on point, especially with a bit of their in-house Chili Paste. Good portion as well.

Skip the small chiasiu bowl tho, pretty mid.

Service was attentive and friendly!“

“This spot is an absolute gem in South Pasadena. Everything we ordered was prepared with such care and presented beautifully.

The ramen was rich and flavorful, but the standout for me was the roasted brussels sprouts served in the little black cast-iron skillet. They were perfectly charred and seasoned. I could eat those every single day.

It is rare to find a place that hits the mark on both atmosphere and quality across the entire menu. We left feeling completely satisfied and are already planning our next visit back.“

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

“We had a great dinner at Fujiya Ramen tonight! The food was delicious—especially the yakitori, ramen, and sake. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and came out quickly.

What impressed us most was the service. There was only one server taking care of the entire dining room, but they were incredibly friendly, attentive, and efficient. Even though the restaurant was busy, we never felt neglected.

Overall, it was a wonderful experience, and we’ll definitely be back. Highly recommend!“

“I was a JA kid in the 80s and 90s. After CYC basketball games and Tamiya Mini 4WD races, my family would head to the third floor of Yaohan and enjoy the great flavors of Hana-Ichimonme. This was, hands down the best ramen in downtown back then, and I can't wait to taste it once this pandemic is over. Okaerinasai!“

“The food is really good and cheap, plus its a really good portion of it. The atmosphere is pretty welcoming and feels good to be there. The most remarkable thing its the service, it is a really nice and good service in every way, best service I've had so far and will definitely go 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!“

“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.“

“Really love this new boba and eats spot! They have the best mix of comfort and craving foods — ramen, boba, nachos and cheese, Hot Cheetos with cheese, Musubi, and more. The service is also extremely friendly and welcoming, which makes the whole experience even better. Definitely my new go-to place when I’m craving something good!“

“very delicious👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍“

“The best Japanese curry in LA, and we have tried a lot of places, believe me!!! Has options for vegetarians and vegans too! The miso soup comes with a lot of the meals and it's so good too. The staff know us now and they are all lovely! It's pretty small inside so probably not the best for a super big group but great for a more intimate night out and of course take out as well!“

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

“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 :-)“

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

“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!“

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

“Very good customer service and vibes I love the decorations and how clean it is. The ramen and potstickers were very filling and definitely worth trying. I keep coming back for the spicy tonkatsu ramen but the sushi was not very good especially for the price...

Another complaint I have is the chopsticks feel very cheap and hard to work with plus $2.50 for a can of coke isn't really something to look forward to with your meal

P.S. I'll definitely be back but I felt the need to give an honest review“

“En familia se los recomiendo“

“Awesome place to eat Ramen“

“Really good birria crispy tacos👌“

“I got the spicy tonkotsu and my mom got the regular tonkotsu. As you can see I ate everything I could and only left some soup but only because I was full!!!
It was absolutely delicious.
My mom and I have had many a ramen, and we rated this on a high level.
Btw- the second bowl still had food but because one of us eats at a regular pace 😅.
It’s clean and tidy with a screen to order for each customer.
Definitely should come here.
Their California roll was also a good option to start our meal.“

“The food is delicious!!! The broth for the beef ramen is so flavorful and the gyoza are perfectly cooked! The drinks and water are refreshing. The service is great! Very kind and polite. As a anime watcher, I love the atmosphere, the lights and anime posters with the music make it very enjoyable to be there.“

“Good food, portions & service...“

“Took my mom to try Kopan Sushi & Ramen on Main Street in Alhambra this past Sunday. They have a rear parking lot, but it’s a bit on the smaller side. Luckily, I managed to snag the very last spot. As soon as we walked in, we loved the ambiance. The decor gives off a great vibe that makes you feel like you're in Japan. The service was good too; the staff made us feel very welcome. We were both craving sushi rolls and were happy to find out they had a buy-one-get-one 50% off promotion on their special rolls. I ordered the Baked Scallop California Roll (BSCR) for my mom and the Dragon Roll for myself. The presentation was beautiful, and the ingredients tasted incredibly fresh and delicious. We had a great experience and will definitely be back to try their ramen and other menu items next time!“

“Kyuramen is such a cute and vibey place. I was super interested in seeing the interior and it was very aesthetic! The decor was pretty, had unique honey comb seating, a bar, and cage area. The parking was smaller and can potentially be packed during peak hours. However, I came for lunch and parking was not an issue.

Got combo meal for two which was only 55$ for two with the choice of the following: ramen, appetizers, drinks, and, desserts. Also ordered the matcha tiramisu. The ramen and appetizers were good. Really liked the dessert (jello and matcha pudding) each one came with a paring sauce - it was not super sweet and pretty refreshing. All of this was a lot of food but was tasty.

The staff were really nice and attentive, making sure we had a good dining experience. Definitely would want to come back and try other things.“

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

“Amazing food!!! The chasu bowl is so good!!! The staff is so nice . You can taste the care of the workers in the food!! Parking isn’t decent. We always found parking pretty close but it’s in the same parking lot as Trader Joe’s“

“Fish on Rice is a lovely place with a cozy atmosphere, making it perfect for a relaxed meal with friends or family. The food is so fresh and delicious 😋😋 Highly recommended for anyone looking for quality Jap food at affordable prices! Plenty of choices for kids as well :)

Delicious and great value overall :D“

“my new update at kai ramen today, was not too busy like before i went there, we try another ramen and not disappointed, the waiter very nice and attentive, nice vibe with anime on the wall, definitely will coming back again, thanks Kai ramen

The Staff was so friendly and welcoming we came dine in last night around 9 pm, explaining all the ingredients used in their food and letting us know about special items on their menu even they’re so busy last night , we’re very satisfied with their food and service ,“

“Always wondered about this restaurant as there's always a line outside the establishment. My wife and I were seated with our friend group pretty quickly, a nice perk to the staff that handed out menus to choose your order to improve efficiency.

I love that the ramen is very customizable, from the amount of salt, oil richness, ingredients mix, sauce, and even noodle style. (Thin/Thick) There's moderate seating inside, some for large groups, duos, and some wall seats as well. It definitely has the vibes for a ramen shop, lights are a bit dimmer inside which highlights the kitchen staff (open kitchen). working on orders.

My wife and I both ordered the Original King Ramen and shared some appetizer (Chicken Karaage) with our group.

Orders came out pretty quickly and the portions are pretty decent size, a bit deceiving I'd say for the size of the bowl you receive.

1. The ramen is very flavorful, can't go wrong with either thin or thick noodles. In my opinion, the chashu is a must because it mixes the broth flavor with the meat, creating the savory flavoring, super yummy. A little side note is that the ramen is priced nicely, however the extra add-ons can accumulate in total.

2. The Chicken Karaage is a classic must try, Japanese styled fried chicken, super crispy coating, very flavorful meat, and bite size. The karaage is marinated very well & comes with some lemons for that sweet flavor if preferred. Highly recommend.

Overall, Ramen Nagi has very delicious ramen and is very much affordable. Huge plus for the ramen being very customizable & even has chefs recommendations for first timers. Only downside is that the shop is not super big, and long lines but it moves moderately fast if you don't mind waiting a bit.“

“Mixed tempura was delicious (they gatekeep that tempura dipping sauce like nobody's business). Bento box was tasty (salmon was cooked perfectly). The salmon skin roll was well liked by the wife. Loved the fact that Mikomi had Pacifico Beer on tap!!!

Highly recommend this spot, especially for lunch.“
