Wonderful dining experience we had at this restaurant. We were there on a Thursday before 5pm so we didn’t have to wait. Our waiter was really helpful and efficient with everything. The broth of ramen was delicious and the noodles had the perfect texture. I enjoyed it a lot.

My Ramen tasting journey continues. I’ve heard many good things about this place, I just have never had the change to go because it’s a really small place and the wait time is usually an hour+ depending on how big your party is, but I’m so glad we stuck around this time because this is one of the best if not THE best Ramen I’ve ever had. I’d 100% recommend.

I came to Daikokuya with my parents and great aunt and had a wonderful lunch. Although there were 4-5 parties ahead of us, we only waited about 10 minutes to be seated. The staff were quick and attentive even though it was the middle of the lunch rush.

Delicious ramen that was well worth the wait. We were a party of 5, and got there around 2:00. Three or four groups in front of us, but we waited maybe 10 minutes to get a table. Inside is small but goes pretty far back, the kitchen served food very quickly and staff was friendly. Excellent atmosphere.

This is hands down my favorite ramen shop. It’s got a cozy, bustling atmosphere and their Daikoku ramen is like a flavorful hug in a bowl. It’s like a little secret I share with all my closest friends because they deserve the best. No other place compares, please do yourself a favor and try it out.

Aside of my aunt’s homemade cooking this was the best meal in LA. The bowls were large, so we couldn’t finish but they were so good!!! We got the pork and eel. Soup and salad was great and the pickles too! Yummy raspberry and green ice teas as well, great price for the amount of food. Come hungry!

The waitlist was pretty long that day and we had to wait for 30 mins to get inside. The spicy miso ramen was flavorful and I loved it. The takoyaki was also one of the best one I’ve ever tried. Really worth it

Got my ramen late so it’s not piping hot. Maybe the staff slacked, IDK. They have a handful of servers and it’s not busy, so I’m not sure why mine took so long.

I have never been to Japan, but everything about Daikokuya made me feel like I was in Japan. In the heart of Japantown, the atmosphere is very Japanese, from the seating to the Japanese music in the background to the delicious smell of the ramen. The ramen is impeccable! One of the best ramen I ever had. Broth super tasty, noodles were nice and soft, the chashu on point! I always get a chicken karaage with my ramen and they were delicious and juicy. If you have not tried this place, it. Is. A. Must!

Delicious food. Feels like u step into a little shop in Japan. Found a public parking structure nearby and just walked. No parking validation. Restrooms only for customers.
