Let me start off by saying that this spot has definitely met the little Tokyo (original) Daikokuya standards. In no-way am I dissing the original spot but this place is it (mind you, you don’t have to wait 1 hour to get seated in this spot). I’ve been here multiple times and it is just delicious and closer to home vs LA. Hands down my favorite ramen spot and I HIGHLY recommend. Do me a favor: stop reading this review and go give it a try. I highly recommend the original Ramen combo bowl with their famous fried rice… it’s stupid good. The atmosphere is cool and the staff are on top of it when it comes to service.

Love this place. It provides a pretty good taste and feel of Japan. Everything on the menu is pretty good. The cabbage salad is delicious. All of their salads are good. The cold ramen dish isn’t to die for, but it’s not bad either.

Any Daikokuya is amazing but this one is worth the drive. I drive past 2 Daikokuyas just to get to this one because there is almost never a wait! The food is amazing obviously. I recommend the classic combo. The tonkotsu ramen. Ask for kotteri with grilled pork and the pork chashu bowl. Always my go to.

The food is ok, it seems they have changed the recipe from the one in Little Tokyo. Their signature ramen seems to be missing something. 3 stars for the ramen but 5 stars for the hot asian guy who served on us and the other staff member who waited on the other table who had so many requests. I wish they bring back the old recipe back.

Is not so easy to find, you have to slow down otherwise you will miss it. I had vegan ramen and I was surprise how good it was because I was skeptical, also I had tofu fritters and it is tasty as well.

There’s 3 options for ramen and many more options for rice / appetizers etc. For your ramen, you can add in “back fat”. It’s just fat that gets put into your soup. It’s suppose to make it richer but it honestly didn’t taste any different to me. The price is pretty high compared to other ramen shops. The portion was okay for the price. They do have a small parking lot in the back. I’m sure once it gets busy, it’ll be difficult to find parking but if you get there before 6. Parking should be okay. I’d recommend to try at least once if you’ve never tried this chain before.

The place was empty so we got our food quickly. Our server was nice. The food was great, but I think the Ramen could have been better compared to other Ramen I have eaten. However, the salad was excellent, and came with our order of Ramen.

This is a fantastic ramen restaurant. I got the spicy miso ramen and small pork cutlet bowl combo $20.95 and it was delicious! The portions are large and filled me up. Way less crowded than their Little Tokyo location. The staff is friendly and there is free parking in back.
