Reviews

This place was small, only 3-4 tables.
It got busy very fast with a big group of people and was difficult to hear.
Ramen itself is very good.
Would recommend the classic ramen instead of spicy miso and just add spice.

Owner response

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback, Emily.
We're glad to hear that you enjoyed our ramen and appreciate your recommendation for the classic ramen with added spice.
We'll take your comments about the noise level into consideration for future improvements.

Easy parking in the parking structure that shared with Marshalls and Michael’s.
There’s a QR code you’re supposed to scan to pay but I’ve never done so. Try to add the Yelp waitlist before going so you don’t have to wait as long.
Lots of things to do when you’re waiting to stall time. I had the Daikoku ramen with the pork cutlet rice bowl, which was the wrong order from the beginning, was a big fan of the pork too bowl, since it was extremely soggy and cold Vegan spicy sesame Ramen was good Small tight, ambience seating spaces extremely limited here.
I’m glad they least have some bar seating also

Definitely one of the best ramen spots in LA.
The atmosphere is super cool and transports you to a Japanese ramen spot on a crowded street.
The food has been consistently amazing the several times I’ve eaten here and will continue to be a favorite in Sawtelle for me when I’m in town.
The takoyaki was very good and the tonkotsu broth is delicious with a good depth of flavor.
It actually travels well too and I’ve gotten delivery from here several times as well.
