Ramen Restaurants near South Pasadena, CA

“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!“

“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.“

“I was in Osaka (Japan) and tried takoyaki there...and I want to say that the takoyaki in this restaurant is top notch!!! Maybe even tastier than they were in Japan back then 🥰

I really liked the beautiful presentation and, of course, the incredible taste! 🐙

Plus, while I was waiting for my dish, I saw a huge portion of ramen at the next table 🍜
I immediately wanted to try it, so I will definitely come back again!

I would also like to note that it’s cozy inside + it smells delicious. The staff is very nice and friendly ✨“

“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!!“

“This place has limited seating so you may need to wait but it'll be so worth it. All of their ramens are so solid. From the broth, the toppings, and the chewy noodle, just scrumptious all around! They sure know what they're doing. If you're feeling indecisive, they have a combo of donburi & mini ramen. The Yu-Chi-Lin don is a glazed karaage, which was delicious. I really enjoyed the Hinodeya flavored broth. Next time, I'll definitely going for the tonkotsu ramen. All of the staffs are so friendly that you'll want to come back! Lastly, do yourself and get the appetizers. All are so good but the brussel sprouts stood out. Well done!“

“Haruya Ramen is a hidden gem for Japanese food lovers! This cozy spot on Fremont Ave won me over with crispy, juicy Chicken Karaage, flavorful veggie gyoza, and rich, soul-warming miso ramen. I sipped on a nostalgic bubblegum-flavored Ramune and smiled when they brought mini lollipops with the check—because adulting is hard and candy helps.“

“สนุกสนานอาหารอร่อย บรรยากาศดีมีระดับ“

“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“

“cause they doooopppe ya heard ?“

“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 the food, I initially doubted the portion size but it turned out to be more than enough. Downside is that it gets really packed whenever I go there and there's at least 30+ minutes of wait, and be prepared for your food to come out a little later than you'd expect. Come with some company and you're good.“

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

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

“very delicious👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍“

“I've been to quite a bit of ramen spots around southern California and this one hits the spot like few others do. The Tonkatsu ramen has such a rich and flavorful broth like no other! Absolutely a must get, plus the Shoyo ramen is so comfortable and delicious. If you want good ramen this place is a must visit.“

“Wow, I been coming for years and the food it still 10 stars. When they bring you the food, you see it and right away you see how much passion they put in it and once you taste the ramen, you taste how flavorful it is.. The way the looks they got style. Love this place people are so welcoming. ❤️“

“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“

“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.“

“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!!“

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

“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.“

“Supa supa cute!!! >_< i went recently on a little date with my boyfriend and we sat in front of the window, really relaxing environment and the server was so nice, and best of all, the food was super good! It was also fast, probably because it wasn’t busy but still this place’s a gem :D“

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

“Best vegan/vegetarian ramen I’ve had (and I’ve been to Japan!) It is hard to find a vegetarian-friendly bowl of ramen that has any flavor, but their Spicy Creamy Vegan ramen is packed full of flavor.

I’ve been coming here since they opened and have never had a bad experience. I always make sure to bring friends and family when they are in town and everyone I’ve brought raves about the food as well (including the non-veg options). I live in the area and will always choose this place over Silverlake Ramen, which is actually closer to me! We went there once and the whole time thought, “Man…we should have gone to DTLA Ramen instead.”

Service is always speedy and friendly, but last night they went above and beyond. My partner had a small health episode as we were eating and the staff immediately noticed and rushed over to help after I asked for water for him. They helped me move him to a better seat and offered us a can of soda while he was recovering. After he started to feel better, I burst into to tears (it was pretty scary!) and our waiter came to check on me. They even comped our beers, which they absolutely did not have to do! The entire experience just solidified my love for this place. I will always be a loyal customer of DTLA 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 :-)“

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

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

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

“I enjoyed eating the food here but thought it was a little pricey for what it was. The ambience was great. The karaage was tasty but the amount of chicken was pretty small for the price. The dipping noodles were good with a nice chew and the broth was pretty flavorful and salty. Because they have to cook the broth for so long to concentrate it, it is more expensive than normal ramen. One of the issues I run into with dipping ramen is the fact that around halfway through eating, you end up with cool/cold food because the broth doesn’t stay hot enough to offset the noodles and stuff you’re dipping in.

Overall, I’d come back here if I was craving dipping ramen but would probably find somewhere else if just looking for normal ramen.“

“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!“

“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.“

“Solid, straight to the point spot for ramen. I got the Kai Red ramen and wife got the Tonkotsu Classic. The Kai red had a good kick, not too overbearing and the soup had a nice consistency. Wife enjoyed the Tonkotsu classic, nothing fancy, just well balanced and very familiar in a good way. For appetizers, we also got Takoyaki and Sesame Fried Chicken, which my daughter really enjoyed. I thought the Takoyaki was the sleeper. The Kai's Boba Milk tea definitely came in handy to cool us off, from both the ramen and the heat outside. I want to try the Spicy Miso and Kai's white ramen on our next run.“

“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. ??“

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