    Very good ramen. The noodles are the curly kind. Unfortunately there was a sewage smell outside the building and it was smelled a bit while inside as well.

    My first time to eat in this restaurant. My tonkatsu noodle was ok. But my tea was not hot. My friend ordered for extra hot water but after 20mins there was no hot water. Probably, the server she talk to could have forgot about it. Another server pass by and she requested again and got her hot water in just 3mins.

    A vegetarian friendly ramen? Their creamy vegan broth is incredible. I’m always weary of vegetarian ramen broths because they’re usually quite plain and leave a lot to be desired. But this? This?!!! Absolutely stellar. No notes.

    I ate here once a really long time ago and had not been back since, but I remember liking it a lot. I came back again recently and am honestly really disappointed in myself for not coming here every time I want ramen. I had been to a ton of different places in LA county and they never really left me satisfied. Kitakata has to be one of the best places to eat ramen in the LA/OC area. It is a little pricey but the quality of the food and portions are spectacular. The Umakara Tan Tan was phenomenal, every spoonful was packed with flavor, the spice was on point and the noodles were so smooth and tender. It had the right amount of everything and the added soft boiled egg was the cherry on top. The service is also great as we were seated in less than ten minutes despite there being a lot of people and our food was out just as fast. It is a great place to come have dinner especially during the cold winter weather we have at night. I expect to be coming back here a lot more often during the coming months!

    Worst part of our experience was waiting for other people to leave so that we could get in! You know how sometimes the vegan option at Ramen places isn’t that good? Well, not here. The creamy vegan Ramen was amazing. Rich flavor. My daughter and her friends loved their Ramen as well.
