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.
The food here is awesome. Every time that I have been to this restaurant, I have been seated immediately. The service is top-notch!
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.
The food here is amazing!!! Super delicious and fresh!! It's kinda pricey, though, but u get what u pay for. I wish it was closer to me, I would go all the time.
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.
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.
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.
