    Had the Hakata Ramen and it was literally the best ramen I've ever had with fantastic service. Would definitely stop by here again when I'm in the area.

    Wonderful small restaurant in Little Tokyo. I had the hakata ramen with pork broth. The broth was flavorful and satisfying, the noodles were nice and chewy, and the small pieces of pickled ginger added a nice touch. I ordered extra noodles and it was a perfect amount. The service was friendly and efficient.

    The food, service, efficiency and the specials during Dodgers Day and weekend is amazing. Pure ramen/izakaya comfort food and even if you don't get the Ramen, the curry donkatsu is delicious. I also love they have small and large size for these rice bowls ("donburi") dishes so you can mix and match. You can eat there by yourself, small group and even big groups. They can split the check 4 ways. Also love that it can be a place you eat when you are short for time (40 minutes) OR can just keep ordering drinks and food for 2 hours. Best value and Efficient. A constant in my Japanese comfort food rotation.

    It was our first time going and we enjoyed the food. I loved my pork cutlet bowl so much, every bite was tender! The prices aren’t outrageously expensive lol, reasonable pricing! For two people it was about 35 (including drinks)

    Both the ramen and the katsu curry were decent nothing extraordinary, but tasty enough to enjoy. I sat on the terrace, which was convenient, though being in Little Tokyo it didn’t really feel like a cozy or stylish atmosphere. It was a bit noisy and more of a casual, quick stop vibe than a place to linger. The service was fine and the food came out fairly quickly. Overall, it’s a solid spot if you’re nearby and craving Japanese comfort food, but not the kind of restaurant I’d go out of my way to visit again.
