I found this restaurant on my way home yesterday when I couldn’t find a place to park in Little Tokyo. I ordered the spicy pork bone noodle soup and it was gone in no time. The eggs inside are very tasty, there are two large pieces of pork, and the soup is also delicious. It’s just too much for girls, I can’t finish it all. The price is still a bit expensive, 20 dollars for a bowl after tip and tax.

This restaurant is one of my favorite restaurants in South Pasadena. Especially I love their Spicy Kimchi Ramen. Nowadays they have two lunch combo options and those options are pretty good as well. The staffs are very kind and the inside is clean. I definitely recommend this place!

The ramen here is pretty good. We got the regular tonkatsu and a black. Both were very rich and flavorful. Service was good as well. The only issue is there are no bathrooms. I had to use the bathroom at the Bristol farms across the parking lot. It’s not far but, it’s such an inconvenience when a restaurant has no on site bathroom.

It’s a cool little spot in South Pasadena. They have a good lists of choices on the menu for you to enjoy. We opted for curry fries, spider sliders, and spicy tuna bowl to share, and I liked the spider sliders the most. As to the ramen, good portion! The broth was surprisingly good, it was rich and flavorful. Chashu was well-cooked, not melt in your mouth but flavor-wise, it was good. Downside? I wish they could give more toppings. All in all, good overall flavors!

This place is absolutely delicious. It’s great having a miso based vegetarian ramen option. It can also be vegan really easily (vegan noodles). We tried the veggie ramen + an egg, and the “most popular” brussel sprout appetizer. Both were great! It’s reasonably priced, too. I’ll absolutely be coming back.

Love everything about it! From quality of food to portion sizes (omg) I had a combo with salad and spicy tuna bowl.

Place was recommended by a friend. We tried the black and modan ramen. Great taste. Good portions. Even better prices. Also, recommend their brussel sprouts. It’s a popular dish served with aoili sauce. Went on a Sunday night around 7pm and it was quite busy – can’t imagine what peak Friday or Saturday nights would be like! If you’re in South Pasadena, definitely a place to give a look to on these cold nights or for a satisfying ramen fix.

I was pleasantly surprised by their poke ramen. Noodles have kale as an ingredient, and they are more like soba noodles. They cook the noodles just right so they are firm and have a great texture. I can’t stand soggy overcooked noodles, so they were great.

Some of the best ramen I’ve had, it agrees with my pallette I suppose. I’ve been getting the spicy kimchee and it’s wonderful. So flavorful. I always think I’m not going to finish it, then I do. No regrets though. It’s too good to regret.
