“ ONLY SPOT FOR MEXICAN RAMEN! I tell everyone that this place has the best Mexican fusion ramen. Someone say it reminds them of menudo because of the diced onions, radish and lime. Its delicious! Place is small inside with a few tables so we usually order ours to-go pickup and it still taste good even when you eat it at home! Go try it! ”
“ Small cute place by the fwy ramp in the 7 eleven shopping complex. Parking is easy but I went on a Sunday when they opened at 11:30am so not sure how it would be on a busy day since there are other small businesses around. You order food first then they will bring it to you. Got the karage and gyoza. Both were good and crunchy. The carnitas ramen was interesting but it worked. Flavors were delicious and it had that carnitas taste. Ramen noodles were fresh and I loved the texture. I'm very meticulous about any noodle texture. I don't like the prepackaged kinds of you know what I mean. Only thing I didn't like was the portion. For the price, it is small and a little more noodles would be perfect. ”
“ I live down the street and always see its always crowded in the restaurant. I finally decided to give it a try. You order first then find your own seat. I will say its kind of expensive for the portion you are getting. I got a tonkotsu ramen and was disappointed because they charged a $1.50 for chili paste. Nevertheless the ramen was delicious! Go ahead and give it a try! Very small restaurant and not a lot of workers. ”
“ For a corner restaurant off the 10 freeway, I was surprised that it was busy (granted it was a Saturday afternoon when I visited, but still)! It's not the biggest ramen restaurant in town, but there were still plenty of places to sit. You line up to order at the cash register and then find a place to sit. I loved looking around at all the decor they had! I liked my Spicy Sesame ramen that I ordered. As someone who normally doesn't order spicy food, it was just spicy enough for me to handle. I also liked the creamy sesame-flavored broth and the fact that there were plenty of veggies. I also ordered takoyaki on the side, which tasted fresh and savory! The sheer amount of bonito flakes on top did make me giggle, though. I wish I snapped a photo of that haha! ”
“ Was feeling like ramen and was in the area, so decided to check this place out after looking at the menu on Yelp. I mean, with a culture combo called "Las Carnitas Ramen", how could I not try greatness from two worlds? The restaurant is in a little almost strip mall ish area. Parking wasn't hard to find, so was able to get in quick. It also isn't set up like a more traditional ramen restaurant, as here you go up and place your order at the register and the food will be delivered to you as it is prepared. The Chicken Chasu Bowl comes with a teriyaki chicken with red ginger and green onions over rice. Chicken was cooked well and the ginger added a nice flavor to it. The tonkatsu Ramen was ok, felt the broth could use some more flavor. The carnitas ramen was nice, I really enjoyed it. The meat, itself, had a nice crispiness on the outside while soft and most inside. It also has radishes, oregano, cilantro and serrano peppers along with the usual ramen items like soft boiled egg, all in a chili broth. It was such an interesting combination, combining the two cultural did, and it actually worked. It could have been a little more spicy, but it was still really good. Overall, definitely stop by if you're looking for ramen, and if you want to experience something new with the carnitas ramen. It is totally worth it ”
“ This ramen spot is hidden in the corner of Fremont Ave and the 10 freeway. There's a small parking lot but still plenty of parking available. When you walk in, you order at the counter and then take a seat. Staff is super friendly! Came here on a Saturday at 1pm and it wasn't too busy. Small space but maximizes seating. We got 3 items. Tonkatsu ramen, pork chasu bowl, and karaage appetizer. The tonkatsu ramen was good, broth was flavorful - would get it again to hit that ramen craving. The chasu bowl is the star for me. I loved how there was so much chasu - portion was good and sauce was delicious. The karaage was okay - I think the batter was a little lacking, it wasn't crispy enough for us. Overall, great place to grab a bite. I would come back for the chasu bowl! ”
“ Nakazo is that perfect no-frills ramen spot you didn't know you needed! The service is super friendly, and the vibe is all about keeping it simple and delicious. Just order your ramen, grab a seat, and get ready to slurp away. I thoroughly enjoyed my bowl and would definitely come back for more. ”
“ New menu. Took out several of the musubi but added more sushi rolls Same good food and service. ”
