Bincho absolutely nailed it again. I had the spicy tonkotsu tamago bowl and it was incredible. The flavors blend so perfectly into the rich pork broth, with just the right amount of spice. The soup is so good you honestly can't stop drinking it. This place really makes me feel like I'm back in Japan every time I come here. We've been a few times now, and somehow it just keeps getting better and better every visit. I honestly don't know how they do it, but everything about this place is amazing. The service is amazing to you always feel looked after the whole time you're there. The place itself is super cute and has such a nice vibe. It's the perfect little spot for a date night or even just to chill, have a drink, and enjoy some seriously good ramen. Easily one of my favorite spots and 100% worth it every time. read more

Bincho - The spicy Tonkotsu Tamago - Ramen Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Oh my goodness, Bincho creates the most flavorful bowl of ramen in the SFV, hands down! I came by for take out today close to the opening at 5PM, and they were already lit with customers! Despite even that, I was helped immediately and was heading out with my order for 2 bowls in about 15 minutes. I was also offered a glass of ice water while I waited, which was very kind. Every aspect from the dark walls and wooden bar, down to the music and bathroom is well thought out. You can tell they truly value their space and the customers that support the restaurant. Don't get me started on the food ~ We tried the Bincho Egg Black Tonkatsu Ramen. The broth was silky and creamy, not oily or heavy at all. The black garlic added a very interesting earthy and almost scorched taste to it. The egg was sweet, and I've never had a sweet ramen egg before but it went well with the rest of the umami flavors in the dish. The green onions and wood ear mushrooms had a fresh crunch to them and there was enough to get a good amount in every bite. The charsiu was tender + savory sweet, kinda tasted like cheese to me but that's also a positive lol! The noodles were slightly chewy and the portion was just right for the amount of broth you get. I have nothing bad to say about this ramen, it's truly one of those spots where your heart desires seconds or even thirds lowkey. I'll be back again to try a different option on the menu. That spicy karaage looked pretty fire so I may need to come back to try that too... Thank you Bincho! Y'all killed the ramen game. read more

Bincho - BINCHO BLACK TAMAGO TONKOTSU RAMEN - Ramen Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I can see why this place gets crowded. Ramen is very flavorful. Service is friendly. Met my friend who had been here before. I am glad she recommended to come. Now I have a goto for Ramen in the Valley. I must mention that the decoration of the restaurant is very cozy and made feel I am in Japan. Unfortunately, I forgot to take pictures. Food was too good. read more

I was craving some good ramen and luckily was told about this spot. There are not a lot of good ramen places in the valley but this place is literally the best! Located inside a small shopping plaza, the place itself is that not big inside. But we went on a Sunday evening and it wasn't busy so we were seated right away. The menu offered lots of different ramen options, both spicy and not spicy. They also have appetizers and desserts. I got a Thai tea and it was very very good. They brew the tea in house so you could tell it was fresh. And it wasn't overpowering in sweetness. Now onto the ramen 5/5!!! I got the spicy tonkatsu ramen and it was perfection. The broth was rich and creamy yet not oily and the meat was tender and flavorful. The egg was cooked to perfection as well. Can't wait to come back!! read more

I was so excited to check out this place and it exceeded my expectations! Our waitresses were so helpful with their recommendations. Highly recommend their Spicy Tonkatsu with Tamago--this broth is so garlicky and full of richness. The Yuzu Jidori Chicken Ramen with Tamago has a very light broth and is refreshing. We also tried their Yaki Mayo Cha-Siu bowl and instantly fell in love...the generous portion of cha-siu and their addictive sauce all over the rice is perfection. Will be getting more of this next time. Super excited to return especially for their lunch special. read more

Bincho - Bincho Egg Black Tonkotsu Ramen - Ramen Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Label as no 1 ramen sure is a problem if I'm the owner. but this place do excels in their reputation. Noodle is perfectly cool and their broths either the pork base or chicken base delivered a nice kick. Ambience is better than I used to before oh this place was a curry spot in the past. Service is excellent, great job ladies. I would recommend come a bit late lunch around 2 or early dinner to beats the rush. Many customer come saying that they heard from the news about this spot and they all come to try. Try them, for me ramen is very personal. Great ramen for me maybe not for you. so you won't know till you try. Their ramen broth is not heavy at all but maybe too creamy but they also have the clear option that my son has and that's also perfect. read more

After two weeks we are back at Bincho to try a few different dishes. The spicy tonkatsu was rich, flavorful and had a nice kick. I like it better than the black tonkatsu we had last time. The clear tonkatsu while lighter, tasted clean and smooth. The aburi chashu bowl was smoky and charred, which amplified the taste of the chashu. Also enjoyed the spicy karaage. Reminded me of Korean fried chicken. So thankful to have Bincho in the valley. Saves us the dreadful drive on the 405 to Sawtelle. read more

Tried the Spicy Tonkatsu with egg and the Bincho Creamy Tonkatsu. Both were really rich and flavorful + the char sui was tender. The spicy chicken karaage had good flavor but wish it came with a lemon wedge or sauce. I'd like to try the clear broth next time as the creamy broths were a bit too rich for me! Small place with both tables and bar seating, you sign up on a sheet outside waited about 15 minutes on a Friday night around 6:30. It got really crowded around 7 so expect to wait outside. Small parking lot out front. read more

This spot was on the list of top ramen spots in LA and the only spot from the valley so had to try it! Service was so welcoming and inviting from the start. It Was these two girls and they were so cheery and funny. We came on a rainy Saturday around 4:15pm and it was pretty full but we sat at the bar and there was plenty of room there and it was clean. We ordered the gyoza which I was going to get anyways but then one of the girls recommended it so for sure we had to get it. Then we got the Cha Siu which was my first time trying that and that was delicious! I'd order that again. The gyoza was a bigger size than what it usually is and it was so hot. It was nice and filled up with pork. I got the Black Garlic ramen and the broth was delish but I mixed it up more because half of it was full of black garlic. My sister got the Spicy Tonkotsu Ramen and it was packed with flavor with medium spice. Everything was delicious! There is enough parking but a lot of the spots are taken for other businesses so they're mostly by the Goodwill parking. read more

At this point of time I can say that this restaurant deserves 5 stars. Employees are actively checking everything was ok. Ambiance was cozy. I ordered spicy tonkotsu ramen and non spicy one. As always spicy one is my favorite. This time I remember to stir it throughly before I eat. It has perfect level of spiciness but if you don't like spicy food, this would be a bit much for you. All that being said, I can say this Ramen restaurant is the best in SFV. read more

I've been to Bincho a couple times now and it never disappoints! Definitely deserving of its reputation as one of the top ramen spots in the SFV and even LA! It has gotten more popular now so definitely anticipate a bit of a line especially if you're coming on a weekend. Service is quick, efficient, and friendly. Bincho karaage - love it!! So juicy and flavorful and comes out piping hot and fresh every time! Bincho signature tonkotsu - simply a classic. The broth is so hearty and rich without feeling too heavy. The noodles are the perfect firmness and the portion size is very satisfying Bincho black tonkotsu - was super excited when they added this to their menu! Has such a tasty and savory garlic and umami/mushroom flavor Parking: free parking in a shared lot with the other businesses read more

One of the best ramen places in the valley. First time here but the experience and impression is 5 stars. The Karaage, spicy tonkotsu and tonkotsu ramen were fully loaded and flavorful. The customer service was top notch, clean and relaxed ambiance with a restroom that was well maintained. Parking was convenient as it shares the ample space with the rest of the shop. read more

The Tonkotsu ramen here is unbelievably good. Every component is perfectly prepared. -The broth is rich, but delicately flavored and silky smooth. -The char siu is fatty and incredibly tender. -The egg is delicious (the egg white is firm and the yolk has a subtle soy flavor) -the noodles have the perfect firmness For a place that's small and very busy, the service is outstanding. The staff is very nice and the food comes out quickly. This place is worth the hype. I've never had ramen this good. read more

Amaaaazing! Highly recommend the spicy ramen. Not only is the broth so flavorful and rich, but the noodles are cooked to perfection. With the lunch special you can get a side of karaage or gyoza and both are great options. The gyoza is pretty big! Lots of yummy filling inside. The karaage is crispy on the outside and super tender and juicy on the inside. Love the iced matcha green tea too! I also got to try the black tonkotsu and it was delicious. They really know what they are doing here! Super cute unassuming spot definitely worth checking out if you are a ramen fan. They have a veggie option for veg folks! read more

Delicious ramen with rich black soup that tastes so authentic it brought me back to Japan (in the future time lol) Paired perfectly with a cold Sapporo beer -- pure comfort. Amazing and purposeful service by Sarah, Kate, and Mona. Friendly, heartwarming, and attentive -- they truly made the experience feel special. They all deserve a holiday pay raise and recognition for their great work. The owner/chef Toshiro adds a level of authenticity that makes the meal feel real, warm, and crafted with care. Upbeat Saturday night music, chill and cozy ambience, comfortable seating, and a clean, homy environment. Truly a wonderful experience. Highly recommended. Thank you so much. God bless! :) read more

The ramen here is genuinely very good--rich broth, great flavor, and definitely worth trying if you're a ramen fan. The food itself did not disappoint. Unfortunately, the accommodations and seating experience were not as smooth. We arrived as a group of five and were initially told to wait, even though there appeared to be seating options available. Eventually, we suggested that some of us could sit at the bar to make things easier, they finally accommodated us. The ramen made the visit worthwhile, but the seating logistics could definitely be handled better, especially for small groups. read more

We had lunch and dinner here and both the food and service were good and consistent both times! I love yuzu and was very happy to find menu items with yuzu :) I really enjoyed and highly recommend the yuzu jidori chicken ramen and the yuzu shio chicken bowl. The ramen noodles were fresh and had a right amount of chewiness. Broth was clean with a few very small slices of yuzu noted. The sliced chicken in both the ramen and rice bowls were very tender and flavorful. The clear tonkotsu ramen and the spicey karaage were also tasty and the meat were tender. Overall, the ingredients and flavors were well balanced and dishes were all presented nicely. Service was very friendly and attentive from greeting us upon arrival, to frequently checking on our table while dining there, and to the moment we left. Cozy atmosphere with bar and table seating. read more

Service was awesome! This is our first time here. We came around 2pm on a Saturday. Parking was full though. Had to drive around at finally someone left. Portion size of the ramen is perfect because I was stuffed by the I finished. I ordered the Bincho Tonkotsu Tamago(seasoned egg). The place was cozy inside. Small little place but not cramped. When we got there, there was a sign up sheet outside, so we put our name and number of party. There was one bench outside that fits 2 people. Inside there were 2 chairs for people to sit if waiting also. Parking was free. Because we came on a Saturday, next time we want to come here for lunch on a weekday for the combo special instead. read more

Bincho Ramen is Top Iron Chef level Japanese ramen! TONKOTSU (NOT tonKATSU) ramen is the specialty here, but their "standout" ramen in my opinion is: the Clear Pork Tonkotsu Ramen. It is stellar! You don't eat pork? Try the Yuzu Chicken Ramen. A speciality that's hard to find at most ramen shops. And of course Bincho Ramen has a vegetarian ramen on standby for non-meat eaters. Gyoza in Japan goes hand in hand with ramen orders. I personally always order gyoza at a ramen shop. Bincho makes gyoza fresh in-house from scratch and it is the best that I have tried in Los Angeles. What they don't make in-house are the ramen NOODLES;however, Bincho sources from artisan ramen noodles makers that supply to top ramen joints in LA. Everything here is flawless, from ramen broth to noodles to toppings. Their Pork Chashu and jammy Ramen Eggs (Ajitsuke Tamago) are outstanding! Labor of love for ramen is apparent from the chef/owner. The chef/owner (Toshiro-san) is so nice and sincere. If time allows, he will come out of the kitchen to say hello and check if everything is okay. I learned that he was a chef at the well-known LA branch of Tsujita Ramen House before starting up his own restaurant. He does his own take on ramen and it is beyond good! In short, if you love Tonkotsu (pork bone base) type ramen you need to put Bincho Ramen on your list! *Thank you to my buddy Kevin P., for this amazing find! **Parking is convenient in a mini-mall next to Ross on Ventura Blvd. Credit and Cash accepted. read more

I was sick of ramen after having it almost weekly back in the 2010s when it became a big thing here in LA But Bincho renewed my love of Japanese ramen. The parking is pretty easy, free shared lot with other businesses Service is attentive but not overbearing, they greet you right away and the girls are so sweet. The owner/chef is a soft spoken Japanese native who wants to listen to customer feedback and he'll come out and greet ppl sometimes which is cool I've had the yuzu chicken which is nice and refreshing from that citrus, I PERSONALLY would love a little more yuzu flavor but I love citrus flavor My favorite so far is the clear tonkotsu. Flavors of pork but not milky and as heavy tasting. And I still don't get how ramen places get their eggs so good, perfectly seasoned and jammy, and Bincho is no exception. Their noodles have a great bounce and bite, even leftover noodles I've had still had a bite to it...not sure if it's the type of noodle or what, but it's so good Been here...probably about 5 times already within the last 6-8 months which is saying a lot given I didn't even want to look at ramen for a while, or ever...give them a try read more

I was so excited to try this spot since it was on the top Yelp list but was slightly disappointed. I really enjoyed the spicy karage chicken. I was a little disappointed at the limited broth options. As someone who doesn't eat pork they only had a yuzu chicken option. The ramen tasted fishy, I wish they had a spicy chicken or more veggie options. I heard the pork broth is what they are known for. I'm sure the pork broth is the most popular and most delicious. It was also the most expensive ramen I've had. read more

I think this is the best ramen in the valley. I read somewhere that this was the same owner as Tsujita? Fact check me on that but if it is, even more of a reason to go! Tsujita is my absolute favorite. Tried the clear broth yuzu ramen and I feel like this would be absolutely perfect to get over a cold. So warm and refreshing! 09/10, will for sure go back. Will say, I ordered 10+ ramens to go and none of them were labeled. This was an issue for us because the broth is either chicken or pork based and there were people who were unable to eat pork-based broths for religious reasons. The broth + noodles were separated and both were unlabeled. read more

My favorite place for ramen. Their noodles were chewy and cooked to perfection. I ordered Bincho Tonkotsu ramen that had the taste of creamy rich broth from pork bones mixed with tender pork cha-sui. Good amount of cha-sui pieces were given and they accommodated really well with the creamy broth. In the ramen, there were good amount of wood ear mushrooms with perfectly cooked egg. Egg was soft in the center just the way I like. Service was great and our orders came out fast after we ordered even though it was busy during dinner time.

Bincho is located in a small shopping center with shared free parking. You will need to sign in at the front door on the written list and wait is usually about 30-40 minutes. The spot is clean with few seating and a projector. Our server was very nice and quickly took our order. We started with the spicy chicken karaage that had a good flavor, not dry at all but it wasn't too spicy. We grabbed the spicy bincho tonkotsu that was heavy on oil and the broth was very thick. The flavor was good and not too salty. We also tried the clear tonkotsu ramen which was my personal favorite. It wasn't too heavy and it was still packed with flavor. Also, they have a legit Japanese toilet that took me back to Japan. So cool that they have this! Definitely give this spot a try if you're in the area! read more
