Ramen Tatsunoya

Definitely not getting the hype. Don’t get me wrong, it’s good ramen, but it’s not worth the wait or high price. We came on a Tuesday night and it was about a 20-​minute wait. There’s no list to write your name down; it’s first come, first serve.
There aren’t a lot of options, but to me, that just means they specialize in one thing and it must be bomb, right? Eh. I got the Spicy Miso Tonkotsu with a flavored egg and it was around $ 15. I’m sorry, but I can get a much better bowl of ramen elsewhere for much less (Silverlake Ramen, anyone? Hehe). The broth wasn’t that flavorful and a lot less thick than advertised. There were only two slices of chashu, which was good, but come on. Two slices?! The only redeeming thing was that the flavored egg was soooo good. One of the best flavored eggs I’ve ever had.
If I’m craving ramen and in Old Pas, I’d stop by. Otherwise, I wouldn’t go out of my way to eat here.

I’ve been waiting to try this place since I first heard about it. I waited even longer until after the grand opening because it’s best to give reviews on places once it’s been established for at least a month.
I was a little disheartened, but maybe I was expecting too much.
The ramen noodles were just okay. I wanted firm, yet tender enough to melt in my mouth. Instead, I got ramen noodles I could get anywhere else.
Similar story with the broth.
Price was decent. It’s what I would expect in Pasadena.
Small location, but again, it’s Pasadena.
Overall, I was a satisfied customer. I would come again because I live in the area. I’m only disappointed that it didn’t top Shin-​Sen-​Gumi.

Went here on a Thursday evening, there wasn’t much of a wait. When my co worker and I got there, the waitress made us wait outside in the cold for a few minutes. Service was horrible, I haven’t experienced anything that bad in a while. My friend didn’t even want to leave a tip, she thought it was that horrid. The waitress was a little on the rude side, they were slow, and disorganized.
Food– I thought the ramen was just ok. Nothing to write home about, and they only gave a few small pieces of meat. I had the Koku ramen, it was flavorful enough and they gave extra garlic and chili oil on the side. Egg cost extra…
Green tea drink was pretty good. It was unsweetened and tasted refreshing.
We had to try the dessert because of the rave reviews. It was also just ok… But there was something missing, maybe it wasn’t sweet enough. I wasn’t fond of the nuts on top, I’ve have much better flan elsewhere.
Needless to say, I will not be coming back here. They didn’t have much of a selection on the menu. Wanted to try the roll but it wasn’t available. Felt that it was pretty expensive for ramen, and not worth the hassle. Definitely overrated!

Ramen Tatsunoya’s opening was anticipated by ramen fans and local food bloggers for most of 2015 so it really came as no surprise that when it finally opened this winter, it was generating long lines that ranged from 25 – 45 minutes.
Being someone who’s never been one to shy away from trying a new ramen joint, I had to go despite that wait.
What I found, is that while Ramen Tatsunoya makes a solid, well-​balanced bowl of ramen — its signature Koku Tonkotsu — there’s nothing about that bowl of ramen that really stands out.
If you’ve had ramen often, you may have had better noodles somewhere else, a better (and warmer) half-​cooked egg somewhere else, and better (and more tender) chashu slices somewhere else as well. What hurts is also a lack of strong flavor and thickness with the tonkotsu broth… and also that the bowl starts off at $ 12 bucks WITHOUT the addition of extras.
Still, the toppings are well balanced in terms of amounts used and I would be lying if I said the ramen I had didn’t hit the spot during a cold night (and after a half marathon in the morning). In short, it was good but not great.
The restaurant, while small, is brightly lit and although I wish it were more responsive, service was friendly and informative. Overall, Ramen Tatsunoya is a good and solid addition to Old Town Pasadena, which is offering more diverse food options than ever before.

Love the ramen here. Noodles are perfectly al dente, broth is very rich, and the veggies are fresh. Personally I find the Jun to be equally delicious to the signature Koku. Both are a bit fatty in flavor, but the Jun is slightly less so. Because I prefer simpler, more elegant broth, I’ll stick with the Jun.
I would also highly recommend the iced green tea. It’s unsweetened and almost tastes like the tea was infused with unsalted seaweed. There is a depth to it that is far beyond what I am used to. Delicious and free refills if you can squeeze more liquid into your belly.

I missed the very first day of the Grand Opening but did make it here the day after and the day after that. All the rolls are off the menu and will not be available after the 2 day grand opening. It took too long to make is what the waitress said. The ramen would be served and consumed before the rolls arrived at the table. Here is what I ordered on my first visit.
Edamame for $ 3.80
Koku ramen $ 11.80
Dried seaweed $ 1.50
Kaedama $ 1.50
My second and third visit was not much different. I just didn’t order the Kaedama this time. The Koku ramen is a tasty tonkotsu broth with black garlic oil. You have two other options which is the tonkotsu without the black garlic oil or spicy.
The first time I was here, the pork was cold sitting on top of a hot bowl of broth and noodles. I was sitting at the counter watching one of the guys preparing the pork and with the help of Chef Mic, things were rolling along. I do like seeing the edamame being heated and tossed in a sauce pan then dusted after with a special seasoning.
I did witness some guy coming in to complain about waiting such a long time before noticing there is a sign in sheet to wait and be seated. Yes, you still have to wait because that is why everyone is standing outside. Not because they enjoy the cold crisp weather. The waitress and the manager were nice enough to resolve the problem by seating him immediately. Before that while he was arguing, I informed him that I did see a line outside and I waited in line. I am a party of one and now seated at the bar. He thought I was sticking up for the business. Truth is, I was sick of hearing him babble about the wait and the whining. It was cutting into my meal and disturbing my peace. What would you have done, tell him to STFU or be as courteous to tell him to man up. Everyone else does not have a problem waiting outside for their turn.
I don’t think it made a difference but I tipped a little more than usual just because the waitress handled this disgruntled customer really well. I’ll be back just to have another hot bowl of noodles. They already recognize me as I come in. Just don’t call me Norm. Ha ha

Came in for lunch on a weekday around 11:30am, didn’t have to wait to sit at the bar! I ordered the spicy tonkotsu ramen ($ 12.30) and hubby ordered the koku tonkotsu ramen with extra chashu ($ 14.90). The noodles are thin (like Shinsengumi) and comes with chashu, lettuce, mushroom, and broth. The broth was very flavorful and spiciness added a good kick to the ramen. There was not much chashu in my ramen, I only had about two pieces which contained mostly fat so I didn’t even eat it. It’s not a comfortable restaurant, It’s a very fast paced, eat and go type of restaurant. Lunch for two was close to $ 35 with tax + tip. Probably the most expensive ramen I’ve had. but definitely a different take on ramen. Service was great, no complaints. If you sit at the bar, they give u a basket to put your bag/​purse in, which is nice.

Okay, I know I shouldn’t expect much after having authentic ramen in Japan, but this place was such a let down. Daikokuya and Shinsengumi are way better! I heard that the line was supposed to be super long but when we arrived, it was less than a five minute wait. I guess everyone heard that this place was not as great as it was hyped up to be.
My boyfriend ordered the Tonkatsu and I ordered the spicy version of that. If you insist on eating here, the spicy version tastes better. There were just so many things that I didn’t like! The only thing I liked was the spicy flavor of the broth. But then again, it was super fatty and gave me a stomachache afterwards.
Cons:
— The noodles were too freaking firm
— The broth was too heavy and had bits of pork fat floating all around
— There were like two slices of Chasu, which came with a bunch of fat
— We to pay extra for an egg…$ 12+ for a bowl of ramen and it doesn’t come with an egg?!
— They skimped on the toppings that came with the ramen

To be honest, I think this place is kind of overrated, especially for the hour line we had to wait in even after getting there 30 minutes before opening. The ramen itself is pretty solid, but with places like Benten and Modan within a few miles from here for a little cheaper and no wait and much better parking, I would probably opt to head to one of those.
Definitely still worth coming to check it out, but there’s really nothing special. Parking is horrible, there’s a lot right next door, but you’ll have to pay a bit for it, while there are a few lots in Old Town that are 90 minutes free.

Horrible and expensive.
1) every item on the menu is pork. I hadn’t realized and asked if they could just leave the pork slices out and throw in some extra noodles. They said they absolutely couldn’t, which makes no sense. So instead I ordered a bowl of rice and edamame. They traded a $ 16 meal for a $ 5 one. Not good business.
2) edamame was so over salted it was inedible.
3) my friend order a pork bowl. The menu photo shows 6 big pork slices. The actual meal came with 3 smaller ones. Total false advertising.
4) Staff really wasn’t customer friendly, or even friendly. No smiles — just strict rules.
Skip it. Too many good places in the area.

This is my new favorite place for ramen in LA! This is the only place that reminds me of the authentic ramen I had in Japan.
Just FYI, be prepared to wait about 30 min-​1 hour during dinner hours. There’s usually a long line that wraps around the building.
Ramen:
*Koku Tonkotsu — My favorite! So delicious! So much flavor! The broth has pork back fat, spicy miso, garlic, and burned onion oil. The noodles are good. And make sure to add an egg! It’s not the best egg I’ve had, but definitely makes a difference. And if a few thin slices of pork isn’t enough, you can order it with extra chashu.
*Spicy Tonkotsu — This was good but it wasn’t too spicy. And the broth was not as flavorful as the koku.
Dessert:
*Coconut Silky Flan with Matcha Cream — Very silky and smooth. I loved how the coconut flavor is subtle and the matcha cream adds a nice flavor to it. They did a good job balancing the two flavors.
The service was pretty good. And I love how they have these little baskets that you can use to put your purses/​bags in so you don’t have to put them on the floor or on the chair. Very convenient!
Parking: Metered parking or parking lots

3 ½ stars. The line is usually really long, but thankfully, there was hardly a line when we went. We waited maybe 10 minutes and got in.
This place is hyped up! The ramen is good but not great. The noodles are standard and the broth could’ve used more flavor. The pork was good but not great. The egg was a little overcooked — I prefer mine more runny.
Overall, it’s a solid bowl of ramen and if you don’t have to wait and you’re in the area, go for it. However, I would say it’s not worth a super long wait.

It’s been close to 4 hours and I’m now drinking my 6^th glass of water as I write this review of the newest ramen addition to Old Town.
Arrived a few minutes before 6 and the line was already around the back into the alley. Luckily we only waited maybe 15 mins before being seated. For those that are worried about waiting over an hour to try, the line does move quickly. Decided on the koku tonkotsu ramen w/​extra char siu and w/​a flavored egg. Initial sips of the broth was that it was decent but was lacking something which I can’t figure out just yet. As others have noted, the noodles are on the thinner side but I have had these type of noodles at other ramen shops in Tokyo. One good thing is that the noodles never lost their al dente texture during the meal. The char siu was tender and had a nice balance of meat and fat. The egg was cooked perfectly and was well flavored.
Now my two gripes are that I have just finished an additional 2 glasses of water (totaling 8) since finishing my bowl of ramen tonight. Not sure why some people say that the broth wasn’t salty enough. I do a fair amount of diving and even after 3 dives I have never felt so thirsty nor have I ever experienced a dry mouth like this. Secondly, my bowl was about $ 18 all in … tad bit high even for Pasadena standards.
Glad to see more restaurants opening up in Old Town but I think I’ll drive down to dtla for Daikokuya or out further west to Tsujita to take care of my ramen cravings when I’m not traveling to Japan.

Went here a few days ago. Not impressed at all. Had the Spicy Miso Tonkotsu with extra chashu. The broth was kinda bland and needed a little more salt and flavor. Definitively wasn’t spicy at all! The ramen was cooked fine, but wasn’t anything special.
I’ve had ramen all over the SF Valley, Orange County and San Diego. So far, my favorite is Tsujita LA on Sawtell… The original location is better than the Annex. The broth has loads of flavor versus this one.
If you like this ramen place or not, I would suggest heading over to the west side to compare and taste what they’re offering.

Its decent ramen, but I didn’t love it. Didn’t live up to the hype from the review in the news articles and the line that wrap around the corner.
Came here at 5:30pm on a Friday night, the line already wrapped around the corner, luckily we were seated with the 1^st group of people right when they open. Becuase I would have been even more disappointed if the wait was longer than 30mins.
Small menu, only 3 different flavor of ramen to choose from, 2 side dishes and 1 rice bowl. My fiancé and i ordered the koku and spicy tonkotsu ramen and added flavored egg.
I liked koku more than spicy tonkotsu, cause the spicy tonkotsu was too oily from the spicy oil, but not spicy! And not much veggie gets very blend very quick. I did like the koku more, but the flavor got tiring very quick as well. The flavored egg was a total disappointment. For almost 2 dollar, I expected, flavorful gooey yummyness but it was not. It didn’t have flavor nor was it gooey. Maybe it’s a hit or miss since I did saw another Unilocaler with gooey egg.
The ramen was decent, texture was right. The chashu was decent as well. It didn’t melt it my mouth but the flavor was good and it was pretty tender.
One time ramen for me, cause for the price and for the wait, I didn’t think it was worth it.

Be prepared to wait at least 1 hr in the cold if you’re planning to come here on a Saturday night. There’s a parking structure right next door. So I would suggest dropping off your friend to wait in line and you go park the car because finding parking was also difficult.
As you get closer to the front of the line, the host will come and ask how many people is in your party.
There will be a menu in the front, start making up your minds before you get seated because literally right when you sit down and someone will pop out of no where to take your order. I didn’t even have time to warm my seat yet… of course, they gave us more time to look over the 1 page menu.
The toroniku soup base was very rich and delicious with the noodles. The noodles were nicely done — not too firm, not too soft. But if you just drink the soup alone, it would be way too salty. For the price of the normal size bowl of noodles, I would expect to have more than just 2 pieces of meat. So that was a little disappointing. They also charge more for extra green onions. Really? How much can a little more green onions cost?
Overall it was good, but I’ll probably come back when the hype dies down and the wait is not ridiculously long.

They have purse holders!!! That right there is 5 big shiny stars. It’s a fabric foldable rack that sits on the floor. It’s pretty roomy, and I put my purse and jacket in it.
I got the Koku tonkotsu. I’m all about the big flavors. The noodles are the straight kind, very al dente.
Egg and nori are extra. The chashu was very mouth melty. The broth was very good. I kind of wish there’s more noodles. There was a little dolop of some kind of spicy sauce. I was glad for the little bit of kick.
Please send us more and more ramen, Japan, the East side loves you!

Great new ramen joint in old town Pasadena. The price is high, avg. $ 15 a bowl, you pay extra for an egg, but ooooh is it worth it. The egg comes perfectly soft boiled and whole, decent sized compared to many other ramen joints.
The other best past is the ramen comes out «al dente» and this really makes their ramen unique. In addition, all they really service is ramen, so it is quick and efficient. Plus, the seating has some communal tables for larger parties.

For my first review of 2016, I decided to pick a place that opened the last month of 2015. Your parking options are the street or the nearby garages on Fair Oaks and Green. We got there around 2 pm and there was a pretty sizable line outside. The wait to get a table was about 15 to 20 minutes. Once we got in the décor was pretty interesting. There is a tree trunk right in the middle of the dining area. The dining area itself is very clean and well lighted. Surrounding the tree is a large table meant for smaller parties and around that are the booths for parties of 3 and more.
We all decided to get the koku tonkotsu ramen with extra chashu. One of my friends also added a boiled egg. When I first tasted it, I was a bit disappointed, partly because my friend hyped it up a bit on our way here. Nonetheless, the ramen started to grow a bit on me. A couple of small gripes that I had with the ramen. First, although the broth was good, I wished it had a bit more fat. Secondly, the egg that my friend got was just terrible. My friend usually eats the egg first to let the yolk ooze out, but that was not the case. Lastly, the ramen is a bit overpriced for the portion size in my book. Paying $ 11 for this bowl was a bit too much and at that price, I rather just go to Daikokuya. Nonetheless, I was able to finish my bowl and was enjoyed the ramen more towards the end rather than the beginning.
The service here is acceptable. The servers were kind and delivered our food in a reasonable amount of time. I have my debates whether to try the options that they have here. I wanted to give the place 3.5 stars, but since the soup grew on me at the end, I’ll round up.

Came right when they opened at 6 so we missed the first wave of people that they let in, but we were the second party that was going to be let in. Considering it was a holiday the wait wasn’t too bad. I do suggest trying to come about 15 minutes before they open so you can get seats right away. Try to get a seat away from the booths to avoid the awkwardness of the people waiting outside. If you are part of the first wave try to order as fast as you can because I noticed some people were still waiting for their food 20 minutes after they had opened.
My group waited about half a hour before being seated. We all ordered the kuko ramen with an extra order of noodles. The broth is really rich and you can see all the pork fat in it, the down side is that it’s a little salty. The ramen is on the thinner side, kind of like soba, but it was a lot harder than I expected. The chashu is good and tender. Portions are small and there could be more toppings.
The ramen is good but pretty pricey, $ 17 (after tax and tip) each for the three of us without the extra chashu or adding an egg. It’s not something that I would wait too long for, hopefully the hype will die down in the coming months.

Good ramen! I’ve had a fair share of ramen in my life, so I’m quite critical. But this place is very good.
Since it’s so new, the hype is real and most of the time you need to wait in a line outside. We came here during lunch on a weekday, and had to wait maybe only 20 minutes. The line didn’t have that many people at the time.
Got the koku tonkotsu ramen with an egg. The egg was absolutely perfect, which I had another one! The broth and the rest of the ramen was good. It actually tastes a LOT like Tatsu, which I am a fan of.
I finished the whole bowl, so I think their portions are a little small because normally I have to take ramen home.
But I enjoyed my meal and would recommend!

Bullet S. and I went here on a rainy night. It was perfect because the line wasn’t long. lol We got there right when it opened and were seated immediately. We both ordered the koku ramen (⁵⁄₅). It was absolutely delicious. We were seated at the counter so we got to see how they prepared the ramen. It was pretty hot inside the restaurant so they gave us this little basket where we can put our jackets and stuff (A+ for that). Service was very quick and efficient. Their water game was on point! lol
The restaurant itself looked super nice and chic. The ramen was perfect, altho I wish they gave a little bit more than 3 chashu for the regular bowl. Bullet S. got the koku with extra chashu so that was nice. lol. I’m not sure if they have the option for extra noodles, because Bullet S. finished all his and then some of mine. haha.
Here’s a tip… take the broth home and then put in your own noodles. haha.
We would definitely be back! :)

So, this was my first time eating at a proper ramen house, so I don’t have any basis for comparison. That being said, this place is AWESOME.
The food is great, first of all. The pork belly was some of the most tender I’ve ever had, it melts in your mouth. The soft-​boiled egg was delicious, as was the broth (The egg costs extra; My dinner companion informed me that the egg should be compulsory). Everything in the bowl had such a rich flavor, I was pretty stoked.
On top of that, the service was excellent. Not much more I can say about it, except that you should try to go later in the dinner service rather than earlier, otherwise you’ll end up waiting 45 minutes in line like I did. Still worth it, you should give them your money.

Pretty good ramen. Not sure if it’s Daikokuya good though. Prices are quite high. The basic noodle is $ 11 and up and doesn’t come with egg (extra $ 1.50). Seaweed is another extra $ 1.50.
The Koku ramen has extra fatty broth. The Jun version tastes pretty similar but is less fatty.
The Tatsunoya roll is really good and the matcha flan is a must get.
I came at 10:30 in the morning and there was no one, but by 10:45 a line was starting to form. Restaurant only seats ~50 so come early or be ready to wait!

I when here on their Grand Opening for dinner. It was very packed when it just open for dinner time in 6pm Line is very long over 50 or 60 peoples. There was a lot of hype this place. Many article talks about this place so does this place live up the hype? Short answer is NO !
It seem people when to the lunch are very satisfies of the food, but dinner time is total different. Many side item such as egg and gyoza already runs out. I order the Koku with extra Chashu $ 14.90. The most expensive Ramen I ever order in my life. My friend order even more expensive one the Spicy Miso Tonkotsu Extra Chashu $ 15.40. Portion size is about the same you get those under $ 10 Ramen. I not complain about the price if the quality is good but isn’t.
The broth wasn’t that hot and was very oily. It was super salty. This is no where as good as Daikokuya kotteri verson. Most disappointing is the chasu quality. It was mostly fat and the quality wasnt good consider the price I am paying.
The service is quite annoying, keep rushing us to order right away. Didn’t greed us in anyway unlike many other ramen shop. They do take credit card in dinner time unlike earlier the day was only cash. Overall I think they need to improve a lot of areas, it seem they just want take your money and not provided the service or food thatI am paying for. Such expensive ramen don’t included any egg is kinda lame.

Discretion: I came for the Grand Opening, I may try Ramen Tatsunoya in the future (hopefully once things improve) and re-​review if necessary.
— — — — — — — — — –
I waited in line for approximately 45 minutes prior to Tatsunoya opening for service at 6:00PM to get into the group that would get to enter right on opening.
How can I describe the entire experience?
A completely unsatisfactory and near-​begrudging experience that leaves you feeling nothing but crestfallen once it’s over.
‘Care to explain Huy?‘
1) Even though I was one of the first in for service, they already ran out of eggs, rice, and some menu items (gyoza, etc.). Poor planning, and to add insult to injury; the menu is small enough to ensure things like this wouldn’t happen, yet it did (and you only find out when you start ordering).
2) The server ratio was almost 3 or 4:1 and the service was still atrocious. Slow, unorganized, and plenty of mistakes. We would have to repeat ourselves many times and we had random server changes where one would have to pitch the current orders etc. to another one. No fluidity whatsoever. Flagging one down for anything would be a challenge also. Many times there would be ²⁄₃ servers just huddled in the corner facing away from guests.
3) The Koku Tonkosu was ridiculously salty. I couldn’t even finish it. The sodium amount in the broth had to be incredibly high, it made me feel sick (even to the next day). I had 2 other members in my group taste and verify (even before mentioning the saltiness) and they both brought it up also.
4) Portion to price ratio is mediocre. When dropping almost 15 on a bowl of ramen, I expect a somewhat hearty amount. Completely unsatisfactory compared to most other ramen places I frequent. If you don’t go for the extra chashu, be prepared to only get 1.5−2 flimsy pieces.
5) One person in my group was a vegetarian (I understand this isn’t a great idea, but this particular vegetarian is simplistic). He asked for a ramen bowl without broth/​chashu (broth on the side). They gave him a tiny bowl of noodles, nothing else inside. Really? At least put the veggies/​condiments in the noodles like we requested, we couldn’t get them to do it after so he just added soy sauce (which he had to snag, again because we had trouble flagging a server).
Other gripes: Cash only, guests were notified at door (people were running off to the banks and losing their place in line). No hot water served, no lemon water served (not a big deal but its nice to have)
Pros: The setting is cool and the communal seating in the center is nice. — That’s about it.
I love ramen, I could eat it every day, and my ramen standards aren’t even that high. I believe a good bowl of ramen is simple, hearty, warm and filling. Japanese soul food down to the very last drop. Sorry Ramen Tatsunoya, you have failed my expectations. Hopefully another visit in the future will change my opinion, but as of now it’s pure disappointment.

The Grand Opening was on Wednesday, December 23^rd at 11:00 a.m. and there was quite a line in anticipation. I heard about the Grand Opening the day before via Facebook, so I was thrilled to get that early before the crowd.
I told lots of friends about the opening and actually saw a few there. My son’s friends were the first ones in line and they arrived at 10:30 a.m. My son and I arrived at about 10:35 a.m., so we were the second group. I just told my son to get a table with his friends and I just sat at the counter so I could watch the chefs in action.
The space is beautiful with an artificial tree trunk in the center, exposed brick wall, nice furniture and floral arrangements everywhere.
TIPS:
— Get there early to beat the crowd. They open at 11:00 a.m. See my photo.
— Free 90 minute parking at Schoolhouse Parking Lot on the corner of Fair Oaks and Green
— Cash only when I went on Opening Day. See my photo of the menu with prices, however a Unilocal friend said they accept credit cards now.
— If you sit at the counter and need a place to put your jacket or handbag they have these nice raised baskets they will give you. Just ask.
MY ORDER:
I ordered the Koku Tonkotsu. The price was $ 11.80 and it was delicious. My waiter told me the Jun Tonkotsu’s broth is thicker than the Koku. My son ordered the Spicy Miso Tonkotsu and he said it was the best he’s ever had.
You can order extra chasu in any of the ramen for an extra $ 3.10. Flavored egg is an extra $ 1.50 and dried seaweed is an extra $ 1.50.
RECOMMENDATION:
There’s going to be lines all day from the looks of things, so I would highly recommend getting there before they open at 11:00 a.m.
P. S. They are open on Christmas.

My friends recommended this place, and we lined up from 5:30pm. We were the first party to get in.
Their service is very good specially a Japanese lady. She really cared about us all the time.
I ordered Koku Tonkotsu and soup was very flavorful. However, their noodle was way too soft. Also the amount of chashu was not so much… only 2 very thin and tiny pieces. I asked for hard noodle as kaedama, then it was very good!
I deducted one star because of the parking and they have no free topping at all. Price was too expensive.
Some people complain about their ramen but if you can’t tell the difference between tonkotsu and tonkatsu, then you shouldn’t review their ramen! (or not any ramen at all!!!) Also if you prefer mediocre place like Daikokuya, please just go there and don’t ever come back here again! Less wait for us ;)
