This place is absolutely delicious and wonderful. The customer service is out of this world and the owner Robert and nighttime waitress are the most delightful people!First off they took us in moments before closing, and half way through our meal Robert came out to check on us and ask what we thought about the food. I mentioned how delicious it was and how excited I was to return to taste the curry.Minutes later he returned back with a portion of curry! We were shocked! No one has ever done that for us! It’s so clear that they put so much passion and care into their food and business.The waitress even bagged up our food and offered a togo cup for our soda!!!If you’ve been to Japan you’ll be sure to be transported back between the food and hospitality. Every bite is rich with umami and flavor and I am so bummed I can’t come to eat here every single day.You can tell that the ingredients are fresh and high quality, don’t even get me started on portion size and price. 10/10 would recommend, any negative reviews on this place are probably coming from people who haven’t been to Japan or haven’t experienced authentic Japanese cooking.
The owner Robert and his staff are the friendliest and most professional workers I’ve experienced with food service. The food is genuinely something special, well priced, and well portioned. Having been to Japan this place is the closest to the real thing. If I could give six or even ten stars I would. Don’t sleep on this place!
My husband and I arrived just after 9pm on a Saturday, and were seated immediately. We ordered the tonkatsu curry rice and the yuzu shio ramen.The tonkatsu was crisp and well seasoned. The accompanying curry had excellent flavor: rich and comforting. The yuzu ramen was bright, refreshing and soothing: the noodles had a wonderful chew and the chashu had a great smoke flavor.We were also able to try the fried rice, which was well seasoned and had excellent texture.The service was excellent and restaurant very clean. We will definitely be returning!
This place serves hot and delicious ramen at very affordable prices. The appetizers and Karaage chicken curry are very satisfying. The interior is lovely, the service is efficient.
This is a fantastic ramen restaurant.

If you are looking for reasonable price food and good service, just go to this restaurant.
Great ramen, takoyaki was exceptional! Great service and there was no wait when I came Friday and Sunday evening.
Amazing ramen in Pasadena. Great prices and variety of options. Even if you don't like ramen there's so much to pick from you can't go wrong.Been here a few times and haven't found something that somebody disliked! 5/5 from every person who's visited.I can't stress enough that the food is priced incredibly well for how high quality it is. You can be in and out for less than $15/person, although I'm not sure you'll want to with how many good options there are.
Ordered the mild spicy tonkotsu ramen and beef gyoza for takeout. The ramen was great even after the drive home. The broth is well balanced - flavorful but not too salty or too rich - and has impressive depth and dimension. The noodles were good and the chashu was nice and tender but still lean and not overly fatty. The staff was friendly and professional, the space looked clean and orderly, and my order was ready with minimal wait. I would certainly go back.
Absolutely delicious. Easily the best ramen in Pasadena, but probably some of the best I’ve ever had.
Delicious food with great flavors, good pricing
