Seems like there’s a mix of reviews of this place. I thought it was good if not exceptional—lots of goodies in the ramen, so much that I am taking most of it home as leftovers. I did add egg and chashu to my miso ramen. Expensive but I anticipated that going in. Spice-wise I ordered a 4 but if I ordered again I think I would have done a 3; 4 had hardly any spice. I like spicy, just not so much it overwhelms the other flavors, ymmv. The waitress was busy but helpful. I noticed some reviews claiming the taste isn’t any good due to the number of Mexican customers and cooks in the kitchen. 1) I think it’s fair to complain about the authenticity of a food without pinning the problem so disdainfully on a particular ethnic group. (Also I have eaten at my fair share of “Mexican” restaurants in East Asia and none of them were any good, this is just what happens when you export cuisines to different places.) 2) If you have a problem with Mexican cooks, have I got some bad news for you: most restaurant kitchens in America run on Mexican or other Latino staff, no matter the cuisine and no matter whether the food is good, bad, or exceptional. It hardly seems fair to pin the taste of a restaurant’s ramen on the ethnicity of its Mexican cooks, especially in LA!

Make sure to come by the time they open! Service was fast and the group I was in was able to enjoy dishes prepared quickly. Food was affordable and I loved the variety of shops around the restaurant. Cannot wait to come back for some delicious takoyaki!

The best ramen I have tasted so far, it's so flavorful and the portions are good to share. The fried rice is the best fried rice I've ever had and I recommend ordering extra ginger with it, it compliments the dishes so well!!! However, it's is a bit pricey but I think it's worth it for some good ramen.

We were seated within 20 minutes. Service was really quick. I loved our server! She was so patient and would confirm everything with us. (Tip: check in with Yelp! We couldn’t find anyone when we got there)

When I went two weeks ago, they were take out only. So masks and no one is allowed to dine outside on the patio or inside. May have changed, but they seemed to take safety pretty seriously.

What's in the spicy ramen besides noodles & Chile? I've never had ramen but thinking about it

Ramen only contains the chiles if you order one with a spice level. As far as actual ingredients, the default is noodles, broth, green onions, and pork. You can add corn, bamboo shoots, bean sprouts, mushrooms, tofu, etc. They usually cost $1 per add on.
