I was like why is the gyoza more expensive than the chashu bowl but the chashu bowl’s actually pretty small and the gyoza was realllyuyyu good😋😋😋😋😋😋omg the crisp on the outside…still thinking about it

Ramen broth is also amazinggg!!!! Soooo flavorful but it definitely is really heavy!!! I got extra chashu on my ramen and the chashu is sooo thick and flavorful and so good…but this was my first meal of the day and it was really heavy on my system so I left like a 1/3 ish of the broth I think…so just know it’s on the heavier side even for ramen

Really really good though and workers were super nice😇 best tonkotsu ramen I’ve ever had

First time here the other day and it was pleasantly nice! The parking garage is right close by, but it is $11 flat fee. There is a parking garage a block or so away that is much cheaper. The ramen shop is very small but brightly lit. It's pretty plain and simple decor. Had no wait time so that was nice. We got the gyoza, the spicy miso ramen, and the tonkatsu ramen. They were all really good, super heavy on garlic! The spicy ramen wasn't spicy at all, kind of disappointed in that regard, but it was nonetheless tasty. The texture of the noodle is really good and it had a good ration of broth to noodles. I don't usually like chasu but this was really good! It just kind of melts in your mouth! They come in thick and thin noodles, but I don't think they allow substitution of any kind. Overall, it is probably one of the better ramen shops I've had in a while!

Above average ramen place. There is always a line outside so it must be very popular. The pink rice sushi is one of their most unique and popular dishes. The ramen is very nice and delicious. The staff are very friendly and helpful, and the interior is clean. A great spot in old Pasadena for food.

Watching their ex char siu ramen from 15 to 18 and now $20 a bowl, I have mixed feelings. It is located in a shopping street in the center of the city hall, so it is expensive. I visited on a Thursday night and was delighted by the service as I waited in line for only eight minutes alone, in a place with no seats but heating, air conditioning and a canopy. I ordered koku ex char siu ramen with scallion, bean sprouts and fungus, but I've been to so many ramen restaurants that I've never seen an egg in the ex version. It costs an extra $2. What's even more incredible is that this $22 bowl didn't fill me up. I am not a person with abnormal food intake, go to many stores are full of one bowl of noodles, but this bowl of noodles really only let me eat seven cents full, I had to spend another $2.50 to add noodles, the thin noodles only cost $2 but I was too hungry, add noodles with a free vegetable, finally, full, thanks to $27 (with tax). I'm sad to lose an affordable after-work canteen, but it's still the best place for me to celebrate the holidays, and I hope they do some promotions owith.
