"I love their seaweed salad combo plate with egg , coleslaw & potato salad . Also their Eikagesu(squid legs !) is terrific. Great late night place to eat after shows!" - Tammie Brown, RuPaul's Drag Race

Jesse Fuller

I wouldn't call this a ramen place . They have a pretty diverse menu and the ramen isn't the best of it. This place is super authentic in that it is very much like a typical eatery in the countryside.

Ron

Fave dish is the shrimp omelette with gravy over pork fried rice (add the curry seasoning) - tenshin chahan ankake.

Ron

My fave is #50, Tenshin Chahan Ankake with curry flavoring in the fried rice . It's a shrimp omelette w/gravy over pork fried rice .

Offbeat L.A.

Opened in 1976 and it claims to be the first real ramen restaurant in all of America.

Lefty G

Had the tonkatsu , gyoza and sme karage and all were delicious!

Joe S

Try katsu curry rice , chicken karaage , miso yasai ramen...and Kirin on tap ! And remember, it's cash only ! Don't worry, it's not expensive !

Alton Yu

Chahan , pan fried noodles , and chicken karaage were good. I don’t think the gyoza was homemade .

Paul Mansfield

The pork cutlets are pretty darn tasty..

Shrimp omelet fried rice with gravy is the bomb.

This place is SO "Not Worth It!" Food IS & Looks UnAppealing. Taste has more to be desired. Just forget about it, if you're Sober! Cash Only ! Only thing good about this place is that it's open until 3

So many kind of Japanese foods but the taste is varied.

Super low-key with great food and it's open late . Only annoyance is it being cash only .
