Reviews for Daikokuya Little Tokyo in Los Angeles, CA
Best ramen in little Tokyo. Always a line but worth the wait. Super efficient service, we got our food within 5 min after... placing the order. Love the rich broth! Read more
3rd time coming here and they did not miss a step. When you arrive, there is a clip board that you add your name too (no one... tells you to do this) but they work through the list quickly and offer indoor or outdoor seating. They have two unisexbathrooms which is appreciated after walking around J-town for the afternoon. The food is always amazing and servers and quick.We had barely sat down and waters and utensils were coming out. We ordered a couple of rolls, gyoza and shared a ramen. Allwere on the table in 10 minutes. Definitely coming back! Read more
The cold noodle salad is sooo good. The portion was huge enough for leftovers. It has Black Forest ham, noodles, tomato, eggs,... bean sprouts, cucumber, and other items. I asked for the sesame dressing and the salad exploded with flavor. A must stop place.Service is fast and friendly. Read more
This is an exciting ramen shop. Probably not the best ramen in the world, but I gotta say it's very good and very enjoyable. The... noodle is cooked with good balance of softness and resistance. The broth is rich but not overly so, inviting enough for you toslurp it clean after you're done with the noodle. The egg and the katsu pork are quite good, although I think they need tomarinate the katsu a whole lot more so it has more flavor. Takoyaki is pretty decent but price is kinda expensive. I really likethat fact they got combo special where you get the ramen, salad and small pork cutlet on rice, since the pork cutlet is cookedto perfection and super succulent. The service is super quick & efficient with no nonsense attitude and quite attentive, I likethat a lot. Place is a bit small, but everywhere in Little Tokyo is a bit small. Expensive? I think price is quitefriendly Would I return? Absolutely Read more
The rice dishes were very nice. The pot stickers were great as well. I would give it a five star until I had the ramen. The soup... was too salty, the pork was too hard and noodle was just ok. It is a super popular restaurant in Little Tokyo and people line upfor dinner. The price is good. I guess people come for the value. Read more
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 Read more
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! theappetizers are small, but their ramen bowls are huge! they recommend toppings for each ramen they serve, i took one of thesuggestions, definitely worth the extra money. be wary though, when they are busy, they might forget something, which isunderstandable (they had forgotten to put pork in my ramen). make sure to show up early and be ready to spend a bit, thisrestuarant is on the pricier side, but definitely worth it!

Tiny little spot with little tables and some booth style seating. I sat on the bar. The restaurant is small, but the food came... out incredibly fast. The Ramen was some of the best I ever had. Noodles were perfect, and the broth was the highlight! Straightfire! My spring rolls were cooked to a perfect crisp, and the sweet and sour sauce was kind of pink in color, and had a veryunique flavor I loved! I also got some sashimi that I will say didn't seem the freshest, but I enjoyed it. I only saw the serveronce, the service could have been better if when the food was dropped we were checked on, but all and all this was a pleasantexperience. Read more
