Ramen Restaurants near South Pasadena, CA

“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.“

“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.“

“Delicious. Tried the Amber. I usually get a creamy/Tonkotsu option if its available but i wanted to try their signature dish. Very flavorful and not too salty for me. Had to wait about 15 minutes for indoor seating on a sunny day. Our waitress was nice and checked in after we received our food. I will be going back.“

“Clean, simple decor and friendly service. Was pleasantly surprised by the lunch special offered and ordered the spicy Yuzu Miso Ramen (at the server's suggestion) with a 3pc side of takoyaki. So happy with the choice!

The takoyaki wasn't drowned in mayo, the sauce was perfectly balanced, and it was genuinely some of the best I've tried in LA.

The ramen! Wow. The noodles were perfect to me. They had a good bite to them and they didn't try to slither out of my chopsticks while en route to my mouth. The meat was incredibly tender and slightly fatty, but not greasy. The broth wasn't overly salty or spicy and had a refreshing yuzu taste that didn't overwhelm the creamy miso flavor. My SIL pointed out how fresh the bamboo shoots tasted as they didn't have that vinegary tang to them that canned ones did.

I finished my bowl (something I can rarely manage) and didn't have the uncomfortable heavy feeling I've had with other miso-based ramen.

I can't wait to go back for the dinner hour and try patio dining

Kid-friendliness: It's small and quiet sit-down

Wheelchair accessibility: It's on the 1st floor,“

“Delicious! Can’t wait to go back.“

“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!!“

“สนุกสนานอาหารอร่อย บรรยากาศดีมีระดับ“

“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.“

“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“

“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.“

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

“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!!“

“very delicious👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍“

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

“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 👍“

“cause they doooopppe ya heard ?“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

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

“Overall experience was pretty good. My partner and I were craving some ramen and this place had really good reviews. Limited food choices and small homey vibe would make you think the food would taste a bit better. The food was a bit bland for the ramen we got. The broths just weren't as flavorful as we had expected them to be. Would I go back? Maybe if other places were unavailable.“

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

“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 :-)“

“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!“

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

“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 spot for ramen, it hits the spot!“

“From the noodles to the broth to the brisket all 10/10, the workers and boss soo beyond nice! I felt so welcomed and taken care of, pho will always be my comfort food, amazing hospice at this restaurant. The thai tea is also great and perfectly sweetened“

“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.“

“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!“
