Portion sizes and pricing swing widely across this group, from a $10 lunch bowl to a multi-course tasting menu at an upscale sushi counter, so checking recent reviews and photos is more useful than the price range alone. In Santa Monica, dinner reservations for popular izakaya, hot pot and Korean BBQ spots fill up on Friday and Saturday nights, so booking ahead or arriving at opening is worth it. Many restaurants across California run daily lunch specials on weekdays that are not listed on the dinner menu, so it is worth asking. Halal, vegetarian and gluten-free options vary a lot by kitchen; call ahead if you have a dietary restriction rather than assuming the menu will note it.

We are ramen people and this is a must must must!!! One of the bestest ramen spots in our opinion. Wish we had one in our hometown. Must try classic tonkatsu ramen, or a more oomph, go with the white tonkatsu ramen. That is what we ordered lol. Either way you cannot go wrong! Julie was so sweet & helpful, thank you!

Had the Bomb ramen for the first time and it was pretty good! Just the right amount of spice to make it β€œmild”. Nice clean atmosphere and the service was quick and friendly. Will definitely come back to this place. 😊

Saw a movie at the Aero theatre nearby and stumbled into this place afterwards. Was not expecting one of the best ramen spots in Los Angeles! I got the white ramen, ask for some chili paste if you need some spice. Flavorful broth and unique noodles with smoky chashu and plentiful toppings.

This place was so so amazing! I got the creamy vegan ramen and genuinely a 10/10. The homemade broth was my favorite part and now I have my go to ramen spot in santa monica!

Quite decent ramen place. Wanted a good bowl of ramen and I got one! I got the classic tonkotsu ramen. The broth is savory and calming, the meat was thick cut and fatty and well cooked to be slightly crispy on the edges, and the noodle texture is nicely firm! I went when there were no other customers and the lady in charge was very friendly and wholesome, it felt like a mom serving a meal just for me. Would come back with friends.
