My parents and I got to enjoy our first delicious meal after a 21 day diet program. A friend of a friend recommended this ramen house and Hakata Ikkousha delivered way beyond expectation. We had the black (garlic) tonkotsu, sweet & sour tsukemen, and the original tonkotsu. I had the tsukemen (dipping ramen) and it was excellent. It taste more savory with a hint of sweetness and tang.The staff were very accommodating and friendly!I look forward to bringing some friends back here soon!
We are so lucky here to have an abundance of ramen shops.What stands out here is the intensity of the pork broth. The rich, fatty broth is overwhelmingly porky.If that sounds too intense you can get a lighter version. That's just one of a number of customizations you can get. The noodles are pretty toothsome by default.You can get them softer or harder. If you need the heat then go for Black Devil.It's solidly spicy!,Ordered also Tonkotsu their signature and best seller, the Ikkousha Spicy Karaage which is very flavorful, crispy and tender and their Kiku Masamune Dry Sake (Hot).Everything here is close to perfection.Free parking on-site and i highly recommend to visit this place while in Torrance!
Submitting this review for a friend for anonymity.This is my go-to date spot when i feel like eating ramen. The food is good and very affordable so your date won't expect you to split the bill. I would suggest going at about 7pm so you can use the excuse of having an early day tomorrow to go home.Again, submitting for a friend. This is not me. Thank you.
Three of usLong dayStarvingNeeded something yummy but quickGood vide service was okNoodles were good and tastyI do hope their portion is bigger…
Went here by chance tonight wanting a hot soup and ordered the Tonkatau Ramen with everything. I have to say I was very pleasantly surprised. The broth was excellent, the bamboo was fresh and tasty and the Nori was excellent. Pork pieces were a good size and the Wood ear mushrooms were splendid. The combination was like many I’ve had in Taiwan and Japan so it was great to have those familiar tastes here. I combined this with Karage (fried chicken) which had a wonderful crispy texture although the chicken was a little dry for my taste. I’m retrospect the ramen was easily big enough to be filling so the chicken wasn’t necessary but I was hungry. Staff were super friendly and very helpful. This is a gem of a ramen shop and worth a visit. I can highly recommend
Just look at this ramen. There are no words that can convey what you feel when eating it. Get the mantai tonkotsu and dont sleep on their fried rice and karaage!
Great service, delicious ramen ? yummy gyoza ? & cold Sapporo beer = perfect TGIF dinner
I come here for authentic tonkotsu ramen. Ordered with premium toppings which doubles the pork and adds a boiled egg. The full-flavored pork broth is their specialty here and definitely one of the best around! Highly recommended!
