    Mi-so-hot (mild)
    Elizabeth I.

    We tried Dashiwa Ramen and it was definitely worth it. The soups were so flavorful. I ordered the Tonkotsu with chicken, no egg, and my husband got the Mi-So-Hot mild. He didn't really care for the seaweed, but everything else was really good. I thought it was such a cute touch that the soup bowl was served on a little cutting board. For dessert, we got the mini pancake with vanilla ice cream, and it was so delicious. The pancake was stuffed with some kind of filling, which made it even better. The restaurant had a really good vibe and was clean. Our waitress was very friendly and knowledgeable. She even recommended other soups for us to try next time. We both also had the Thai milk tea, which was semi-sweet and very good. I also noticed they have lunch specials on the wall. Definitely worth trying.

    4 stars for tasty food, big portions, and friendly staff. Ironically, I like their other food more than their ramen, though there have been some hits and misses. *** This small restaurant is located in a quiet strip mall. My bf and I usually come here on a weeknight. Otherwise, they get quite busy with guests and take out orders. Most tables seat 2-4. I like the brightly lit wooden interior. It's casual, with TVs, One Piece figurines, and alcohol bottles decorating the walls. Service is generally good. There was one employee who was super sweet and fast. Another person who might have been the owner was also kind. We've had only one hiccup in our overall dining experience. There was one time when our table didn't receive both entrees at the same time even though every other table did. We basically didn't get to eat together. APPETIZERS ORDERED - Pork Buns ($8.95 - 2 pcs). Juicy, slightly fatty, melt-in-your-mouth ribbons of pork topped with pickled onion, green onion, and a sweet and sour sauce. Delicious! The white bun was also warm and soft. - Spam & Tamago Musubi ($4.5). This was good, but hard to eat because of the sweet soy glaze drizzled on top. It got all over my hands as I was eating, and I'm sure I looked insane. Otherwise, the egg was fluffy and juicy and the spam was not too salty. The rice was perfectly chewy. - Side Salad ($6). Neatly sliced green lettuce topped with canned yellow corn and plum tomatoes. The dressing was light, cool, and refreshing the first time we got it. It was on the blander side with a hint of sesame and herbs. When we ordered it again, the dressing was out of this world! It had smoky roasted sesame, sweetness from some sort of fruit, tanginess, and a hint of spiciness from horseradish or mustard or something. ENTREES ORDERED - Beef Curry with Rice ($14.50). The beef was good and on the thicker side compared to gyudon meat. The curry was also good: savory, slightly sweet, mildly spiced, and not too salty. I really liked the carrot and potato and wished there was more of it. The rice that day was chewy, but a little soft for me. The toppings of green onion, seaweed, and half of a marinated egg were quite generous. In fact, the portion was so massive that I took half of it to go. While the side of miso soup was sort of lacking on the miso, it had a nice umami flavor. The pickled carrot and onion were alright. - Butadon ($14.50). The meat was thicker than I would have liked for a rice bowl. I didn't like the sauce at all; it was very salty and sweet. It also could have used more onion flavor. My bf said the poached egg helped balance the salt. - Cold Original Ramen ($16.50). This was a summer special that seems to have stuck year-round. Even though I don't like cold noodles in general, I enjoyed the chewy texture of this cold ramen noodle. The cherry tomatoes were fresh. Julienned cucumber was also good choice, but the wet lettuce was not for me. I thought the broth was just okay. Something about its acidity and sweetness reminded me of Italian salad dressing without the herbs. - Tonkotsu Original Ramen ($16.95). The serving was large enough for my bf and I to share. I liked the creaminess of the broth, but it was more garlicky than porky - not what I was looking for. The toppings were generous and included 4 slices of chashu instead of only 2 like most places. The chashu had good grilled flavor with a light sweetness, but the meat was harder than I liked. We made the ramen a combo by adding 2 pieces of agedashi tofu for $4. I enjoyed the silken tofu bathing in umami dashi stock. The light fry on the tofu gave it that thin layer of chewy "skin" that I go feral for! For $2, the side of plain blanched bok choy was expensive - but at least it was cooked well.

    No frills ramen spot that's perfect for a quick, filling meal. Their lunch specials and happy hour deals offer great value, and the staff was happy to provide chili oil on request. I tried the black garlic ramen, which was very satisfying, though the chashu pork had a surprising sweetness to it that felt a bit out of place.

    CHICKEN CUTLET CURRY
    Ren M.

    This place's ramen was amazing! Girlfriend and I ordered the chicken katsu curry, tonkotsu spicy ramen, and mazesoba. The chicken katsu itself was nice and crispy and chicken was cooked perfectly. It was really delicious. The curry itself was nothing special, and we've had better. My gf really liked the mazesoba and I really enjoyed my tonkatsu ramen. The broth for my ramen was very rich and flavorful. Perfectly creamy and super tasteful. The chashu was nice and tender as well. Everything about the mazesoba was great as well and my gf had no complaints. Customer service was good and the place is nice and clean with a Japanese authentic vibe. Highly recommend!

    Super tasty Ramen/Curry spot. First time trying out this place, the ambience was nice and clean. Loved the Studio Ghibli films playing on their TV. The wall decor was simple and cohesive, the other tv had their menu or picture of items from menu. Ordered online for pick-up. Great amount of food but small, multiple packages. Also wished there was more curry, got enough veggies but not enough sauce. They also forgot utensils but had some at home. Will def come back to try more items, the service dinning in looked good. They bring out your ramen in food cart.

    Delightful ramen with lots of toppings inside. The price for this ramen was worth it. Around $17. The service was quick, attentive to our water and the bill. Everything went well except the toilet seat is broken.

    Gyoza
    Daniel L.

    Very cozy little spot for ramen with plenty of parking and friendly staff! Like many of my visits to restaurants, this too was recommended by social media. Good ramen with texture and flavor. Opted for their lunch special, which included their Spicy Tonkotsu Ramen and Gyoza. There are other options available for their lunch special, but the gyoze and ramen combo just spoke to me. Authentic spot for some good ramen. Recommend if you are around the Monrovia/Arcadia area!

    Tonkotsu Red
    Jen T.

    absolutely loved this ramen spot! The broth stood out right away - it has this incredible charred flavor that gives it so much depth and uniqueness. It's smoky, savory, and so different from the typical ramen I've had elsewhere. The noodles were perfectly chewy, and the toppings balanced everything beautifully. You can tell a lot of care goes into crafting each bowl. Definitely a place I'll be coming back to whenever I'm craving ramen with a bold, unforgettable flavor.

    BEEF UDON
    Brigitte L.

    We love going to Dashiwa Ramen for a quick ramen fix. They have an extensive menu: ramen, maze men, rice, udon. I got the classic tonkotsu, which was yummy, but the soup wasn't as rich as some of the other ramen places I've been to. The shoyu ramen was a bit salty for our taste. However, the best part about their ramen is the abundance of toppings! The beef udon was very delicious and filling. The katsu was also very well fried, without the meat getting too dry. The only thing I have to say is that the portions are on the smaller side and the food didn't come out as hot as I would've liked.

    Jessica Y.

    The store is located in a Plaza with plenty of parking. They have indoor seating including booster seats for kids. I tried the tonkatsu original ramen. The broth was flavorful and the noodles were the right chewiness. It was delicious. Staff was very nice. So generous and friendly of them. I noticed the gentleman would go to tables with kids and give flavored milk. At first I was confused I'm not ordering milk and he said he wanted to give to the kids. Definitely a kid friendly restaurant for a family meal.

    Mazesoba - Chasu
    Cynthia N.

    Waitress was nice and attentive. There were a decent amount of tables and decor is cute. It was difficult to choose what to eat but decided on the mazesoba. It was reasonably priced and had good flavor. The Brown Sugar Matcha Green tea was soo good! I'd definitely come back to try the other items on the menu.

    tonkotsu ramen
    Katie Y.

    They offer a variety of ramens, we tried the tonkotsu ramen & really enjoyed it! The broth was flavorful, good amount of toppings included and portion was just right! Service was quick, we ordered and food came out shortly after. We came during lunch and there was a lot of seating available. Parking is easy to find in this plaza.

Then we started trying new ones opened in the area and now often go to one at the mall for good ramen and conscience. I was craving for Okinawa soba so decided to come here without driving to South Bay. It's Friday around 1:30pm and the shop is relatively busy that only a couple of tables are available. We sat down and started looking at the menu - now a digital one with a tablet on every table. You can browse the menu on the tablet and put your order in on it. We ordered Okinawa soba and miso ramen. For $15 each, it seems like a decent price. We like the broths here. It's rich and deep without a layer of fat on top like most of the ramen shops. The noodles are firm with a nice bite to it. I especially like the Okinawa soba because it uses thicker noodles. The meat is tender and has a sweet flavor to it. If I had to nitpick, they don't have the Okinawa chili vinegar to go with the soba. It's a small shop. The walls are sprayed painted to look like a Japanese night time izakaya vibe. We will definitely come back more often.

Unfortunately, today made us realize the drive is no longer worth it. As we walked in, the owner (I assume) was so focused on his phone that he didn't greet us or acknowledge us at all. We had to approach him and ask where to sit because he didn't even look up. It felt unwelcoming and very different from how this place used to be. On top of that, the food just wasn't the same the flavor was lacking, and the overall experience didn't feel like the restaurant we've supported for years. It's disappointing to say, but this place has lost our business. Great customer service and consistent quality matter, and sadly both were missing today.

I placed my order through their website and ordered the original Nagoya Mazesoba non-spicy with poached egg (15.29). I selected the earliest pick up time and then headed to the restaurant a few minutes before. However, to my surprise, the staff told me that my order wasn't ready yet and would need another 10 to 15 minutes. This is already after the 15 minutes of the promised due time when I placed my order, so I had no choice but to wait outside the store. This made my experience annoying because now I waited a total 25 minutes for my food. They should not have put an asap ordering with a due time if their kitchen wouldn't be able to meet the time. It seemed to me that their kitchen forgot to cook my order until I arrived at the store and they noticed the order, because my order was ready 10 minutes after I arrived and waited outside. The only good thing is the staff was nice enough to bring out my food instead of letting me go inside to get it after the time they told me passed. This is why I had to drop a star in my review. As for the noodles, it is similar to my memory of how it tasted. The sauce is very flavorful and a bit greasy as you get to the last couple bites. But the portion is still a bit small and also the noodle texture seemed not as chewy and soft. It might be because it is takeout or the kitchen was in a rush to cook it. But overall it was just alright and not as good as I remembered. If I do come again, I will dine in to see if the noodles taste any better. Because of this, I definitely would just recommend dining in. Dining in also gets the free bowl of rice.

Update: I am pretty sure this gave me stomach issues, but instead of the skewers, maybe the oyster.

    Wow. Ramen Nagi , I have been missing out. I remember when they first opened and I barely got to…read moretry it. I tried their Original King Ramen , Gyozas , and Karaage Chicken. All of these items were beyond amazing. The ramen had to be the best ramen I have ever had. The broth was rich and flavorful , noodles were cooked perfectly , chashu was perfectly tender , soft boiled egg was jammy and runny. The gyozas were great. I love how they pan fried it and made it extra crispy while still being soft and flavorful on the inside. The karaage was so juicy and good; squeezing lemon to it definitely adds a nice brightness to it. Service was so good! Everyone was so nice and explained the menu clearly. We were seated pretty fast at the bar. Food came out fast as well. Ambiance is great! A clean restaurant that is nicely decorated to make you feel like you're not even in the Santa Anita Mall. Overall, would LOVE to come back again.

    Came back to Ramen Nagi in Arcadia for a second visit with my bro and it honestly confirmed why…read morethis spot has become one of my favorite ramen places. I ordered the Red King again with the tonkotsu pork broth, light on salt and oil, regular thin noodles, and pork belly. The broth was still rich and flavorful without feeling too heavy, especially with the lighter customization. The noodles had a great texture and the pork belly was tender and satisfying. We also got the chicken karaage as an appetizer, and it was crispy, juicy, and a great starter before the ramen came out. Service was excellent from start to finish. Our food came out just minutes after ordering, which was impressive considering how busy the place gets. Our waitress also checked on us throughout the meal and made sure everything was good without being overbearing. The ambiance is really nice and clean. It gives off the feeling of being in an authentic ramen house with a lively but comfortable atmosphere. Even when busy, it still felt organized and welcoming. The biggest downside is definitely parking. Since it's located in the mall, finding parking can be a mess and probably the most challenging part of coming here. Overall, this spot continues to impress me and I'll definitely keep recommending it to friends and family.

    AH-MA-ZING!! Brought one of our best friends from Hawaii to have lunch on a Tuesday afternoon. We…read moregot seated right away which was great bc we were all getting hangry. For appetizers we ordered the Takoyaki, chicken karage and our main dishes Deluxe Tsukemen x3. The Break down: Atmosphere: 4/5 They greet you as you walk in, which I sets the vibe. You're welcomed into a cozy apace that has some decorative elements even to the music choice. Reminds me of our trip to japan, which I MISS SO MUCH! The Food Takoyaki: $8.95. 4/5 Stars. - Comes in 5pcs with sauce and bonito flakes. I liked how the outside was a bit crunchy and inside was fluffy! Karage: $8.95. 5/5 Stars - Comes in 5pcs. The sauce was tangy sweet kind of like teriyaki sauce. It was crispy but still so juicy and soft. HANDS DOWN GET THIS! Loved it so much I could have a whole bowl Tsukemen: $22.45. 5/5Stars - If you aren't familiar with this, the broth is separate from the noodles. Its a different way of experiencing noodles. The broth is thick, creamy and flavor profile is on point. Inside of the broth there is mushrooms and pcs of pork. The noodles are cooked perfectly and also comes with pcs of nori, soft boiled jammy eggs and 4 pcs of thick chashu. Portion size lets just say they are generous and we all can EAT ^^, Kakigori (MATCHA) $8/$14. 5/5 Stars - Definite MUST! Its made with Japanese shaved ice, a very creamy soft cream matcha sauce and matcha powder! I cant tell you how good this dessert is. The wife is obsessed and one if the main reasons why we found this spot in the first place. Please try! Service: - Super friendly staff! They are quick to get our order and serve our meal. I asked for more limes for my noodles 2x and both times they were quick. Made us feel very welcomed and checked in on us on a regular, which also reminded us of the service Japan showed us once upon a time. Overall: We love this place and we keep coming back with new people to share this type of noodle experience. Check them out im sure you will enjoy it. Lets just say we drove an hour to eat this. You def will not be disappointed :)

    I had a weekend dinner at Tsujita LA Artisan Noodle with our group of four back in March 2025. The…read moreother two ordered tsukemen ($26.50 for the spicy deluxe and $23.50 for the spicy chasu) and found it very salty because they chose to consume it not by dipping the noodles in the bowl of broth, but rather by pouring all the broth from the bowl into the noodles, trying to recreate a normal bowl of ramen. I can't speak for them, but I will say, if you order the tsukemen and find that you want more dipping broth, that will be an extra charge. Order a regular bowl of ramen if you do not plan to dip the brothless noodles into the broth for each bite. BF and I both tried the spicy tuna bowl ($7.95), chashu bowl ($8.95), and tonkotsu ramen ($15.95). The bowls are a little smaller than the ramen bowls and are a great option if you want a light meal without feeling super full. The tonkotsu ramen had a slightly rich broth that was flavorful and a decent portion of noodles. We opted not to order the ramen with the egg since we were also trying the rice bowls. The three items were more than enough for the two of us and a good variety of food. Parking here is horrible at the street level, so head downstairs for the two levels of underground parking.

You walk in thinking, "I'll just grab a quick bowl," and suddenly there's a noodle master stretching dough like he's training for the Olympics. Their Lanzhou-style noodles? Fresh, chewy, and honestly a little too good--they'll ruin instant ramen for you forever. The Lan noodle soup is so rich and savory. The died mixed noodle feels like a warm hug... if hugs came with chili oil and a kick that sneaks up on you. It's a small, busy spot, so yeah, you might wait--but don't worry, the line moves fast. Plus, it gives you time to emotionally prepare for choosing your noodle shape. Thin? Wide? Triangle? This is not a decision to take lightly. One wrong move and you'll be thinking about it halfway through your bowl like, "I should've gone wider."

    I like how they have expanded their menu with additional options other than simply noodle options…read more We tried their pork pan fried dumplings (3/5) since the skin was overpoweringly thick, but the filling was decent. They have a small and large sweet and sour chicken rice plate. I had gotten the small size just to try it out, but it was surprisingly good (5/5). The pork sandwich bun was decent (4/5) since the beef was tasty but the sandwich bun could be better. We also had the traditional beef noodle soups with either the wide flat and triangle ones. You can't go wrong with these freshly made pulled noodles, and they are very hearty portions. Flavor is good and the beef is very tender. The smashed cucumbers were decent also (4/5), but nothing spectacular about them. Service is very quick, attentive and pleasant. This is a good go to spot for a quick meal. The dining room doesn't seat a lot of people so try not to come during busy dining hours on weekends to avoid a long wait.
