This place was so delicious. Ordered the daikokuya ramen and spicy ramen. Both surprisingly taste so different! Chicken Karaage and takoyaki were delicious as well! Will definitely go again! We did wait a long time, definitely expect to wait in line, make sure to sign in and park somewhere either in the parking garage or on the streets if lucky.

Daikokuya ramen is very flavorful and they give you a whole boiled egg, 2 slices of pork, green onions, bean sprouts and bamboo shoots with your ramen noodles. They have outdoor seating available as well as indoor. There is usually a line as it is a very popular place.

Really delicious! Nice to have an option of cold or hot. There's different types of toppings to suit your flavor. Noodles were the fattest I've had, perfectly cooked with a nice chew

i visited on new year's eve — the wait was nearly an hour but it was definitely worth it! the restuarant was small, the atmosphere felt like an authentic japanese ramen bar. everything i ordered was visually appealing and tasted amazing! the appetizers are small, but their ramen bowls are huge! they recommend toppings for each ramen they serve, i took one of the suggestions, definitely worth the extra money. be wary though, when they are busy, they might forget something, which is understandable (they had forgotten to put pork in my ramen). make sure to show up early and be ready to spend a bit, this restuarant is on the pricier side, but definitely worth it!

Depends on the day and time. Prior to COVID I've waited anywhere from 10min to an hour. Today I went and got seated right away. I saw people waiting but no longer that 15 minutes.
