This is a cute ramen spot that I come to often. I would say I have had better ramen at other places but the ambience and service is great. I like the crispy tuner appetizer that they have.

Very pleasant little place. Portions were not as big as some places, and the prices reflect. This is a good thing. The Kale noodles were really good. I was not expecting that. I veered from my usual pork based broth to a chicken and maybe that wasn’t the best idea but over all I was very

Very lovely place ! Relatively small but packed with quality. Definitely a great spot for food (highly specialized in Ramen varieties) and refreshing drinks (lots of selections you can choose from). You don’t have to drive to Little Tokyo when craving for Japanese food. Come to this place and save money on gas instead. You can park on street near the restaurant and walk a few minutes or you can park at the underground parking lot. More parking available at nearby Well Fargo banks after 5pm.

We ordered Howaito, Yuzu, Gurin Ramen, and some sushi. Sushi, Howaito, and Yuzu were okay. Good Chashu pork, but Gurin Ramen has no flavors. IMO, definitely not one of the best in LA. Good option is $5 off/per Ramen, on weekdays.

Our server, Par, is literally the kindest and most thoughtful person we have ever met. She not only provides exceptional service but she also builds real rapport with customers. This cannot be learned but is, rather, innate. She is as special as the cuisine. Congratulations.

The restaurant gives off huge comfy cozy cafe vibes. They serve a variety of ramen,sushi, sashimi, and lots of cute drinks. This worked out great during my visit with a group of friends because they wanted ramen and i wanted sushi hehe. I got to try the blue crab and salmon shiso handrolls and the portion was great and super filling. The drinks were good as well. Parking in this area tends to be difficult so pray theres an opening somewhere on the street.

Came in to try their ramen after seeing this plaza a few times. They have lunch specials and even a DineLa menu!The shop is VERY cute and comfortable with dining space indoor and outdoor. I love the decor and the detail to utensils, everything feels very high end relative to the price of the food. Even the bathrooms were very nicely decorated and comfortably sized.I ordered the Howaito classic tonkotsu ramen and it has an incredibly rich broth with perfectly charred chashu that wasn't chewy or overly fatty. The njce balance of spinach was new to me but I enjoyed it with the jammy egg. The regular sized boba drinks were great size for being paired. I had the galaxy yuzu, which when you drink it immediately makes you think of "Barbie". My husband says it was the most feminine drink he has ever tried haha He ordered the Reddo Ramen subbing the ground beef for chashu and said the spice level was the ideal spice level he loves in a spicy ramen. There are several other options to eat besides ramen here ranging from rolls, bowls, and salads. Will definitely come back, husband says this should be our go to as the service was wonderful. No wait time for a 7:00 dinner on a weekday, and food was fantastic. There is parking in the garage downstairs but it's very pricy, $3 with validation but you give keys to valet or $5 self park regardless of time spent.
Located in a small strip mall with plenty of garage parking. I was surprised by how cute the restaurant and patio area were decorated. The interior has seating for about 16 with another 12 outdoors. The decor was so cute! The waitress was a lovely lady who I assume was the owner and the service was quick and friendly. We do a lot of DineLA but this place was an unexpected treat. They have a lovely selection of ramen as well as sushi and teas. The DineLa menu consisted of an appetizer, a ramen with a hand roll and a tea and it was ALL delicious! I had the spicy chicken wonton, the tsukemen, the avocado salmon hand roll and an Okinawa milk tea. All the food was amazing and an absolutely steal at $35. My husband got the fried gyoza, the Howaito ramen, spicy tuna hand roll and the iced genamicha. We will definitely be back bc the food was sooo tasty!

This is truly one of the great ramen locations in the greater Los Angeles area, best in the Valley. The ambiance, the setting of the restaurant, the location. It's a sleepy little tucked away dive with very fair prices and great quality food. The chashu pork was incredible! Their noodles need work, felt kind of on the cheap side. But the broth and the protein options are all fantastic. Service can be a little slow, but that's absolutely part of the charm. Incredibly clean, homey, it's just a nice place to hang out. I hope no one ever finds this place - I can't imagine it being the same if it were busy and crowded ??A lot of love for this spot and the staff.

Came here with my bestie after a restorative yoga sesh at YogaSix, in the same plaza. It's a cute, clean and cozy ramen spot with sushi, ramen and dessert options. I ordered the Howaito Ramen, which is their best selling ramen, with a Tonkatsu base and chashu pork and it was amazing! The broth wasn't heavy and the chashu was perfectly tender and not fatty at all. It also comes with half of a seasoned egg, which tasted sweet. They only had one server taking orders and the chef delivered the food but everything ran efficiently. For dessert, we ordered a matcha soft serve with boba and it wasn't too sweet - the ultimate dessert compliment. The matcha had a nice, earthy taste and the boba was perfectly warm and chewy.This is one of the best ramen spots I've been to and I'd definitely come back to also try the sushi options.

this place was absolutely fantastic and authentic ramen. they have so many options to choose from but their standard award winning tonkotsu ramen was absolutely worth every penny. Its got deep rich flavor but not heavy where you feel overly stuffed and bursting at the seems at the end of the meal. Its got just the right amount of toppings to pair with the broth. I would love to come back and try some of their apps as everything looks so delicious and if the ramen was that good they have to be great! Also they have a wide variety of specialty tea drinks that all sound so good, i got the sparkling butterfly pea tea drink which was so flavorful and a light refresher with my ramen, i very much enjoyed that! i will totally be back when the weather gets cold and i need good ramen to warm my soul :)

Overall this place was very cute it has a modern yet comforting feel with indoor and outdoor seating. The menu is very wide they have sushi options, appetizers, ramen, and a large selection of boba drinks and desserts (which I def wanna come back and try) The ramen itself I felt was just ok, it hit the craving but wasn't as amazing as I was expecting based on the reviews. I had the miso pork and it was good but a little salty. I felt like the noodles could've given more in terms of chewy texture. The sushi was decent, reasonably priced and the fish itself tasted fresh. I'd be back if I was in the area, def wanna try the boba soft serve. Also, they do not serve alcohol in case that's what you're looking for. Don't forget to check in on Yelp for a free order of gyoza!
