    Black Devil Ramen - Spicy Level 1 (Top) & Spicy Level 2 (Bottom)
    Michelle N.

    I was completely unaware 10/26/25 was the last day this location was open so I feel very blind sighted T-T The only location left is Torrance and I hope it stays open! Favorite ramen spot ever!! The Black Devil Level 2 Spice will be missed.

    Delicious!!! 10/10 recommend. Came here the other day and wow -- this place is so good! The ramen hit the spot perfectly. Portions were just right -- not too much, not too little. We got seated super quick, but of course I'm sure wait time is crazy during dinner rush , and you already know the food's gonna slap when the place looks a little old-school inside. That's always a good sign. I also love how you can either fill out an order sheet or just tell the waiter what you want -- super chill and easy. Overall, Hakata Ikkousha Ramen was amazing! Great food, fast service, and cozy vibes. Definitely coming back soon!

    my order

    I've had ramen at this location multiple times over the past few years, and always considered it a must-visit whenever I flew back. It was fairly empty when we strolled in on a Thursday evening at 8PM ish so we were seated immediately. It's $17 for the Black Tonkatsu ($14.50 base price) + standard plus (adds chashu and flavored egg). I was hoping that this bowl of noodles would hit the spot, but it didn't quite hit the same as I remembered. The broth wasn't as rich as before - Heavy, but in terms of flavor, not very rich. I always get my noodles very hard and still enjoyed it this time around, so that hasn't changed. Egg was alright, not as jammy as I'd like. Chashu however was super tender and melted right in my mouth. Will I return again? Probably. It's still a really satisfying bowl of ramen, but I'll opt for a different broth next time.

    Came on a Saturday night and was seated right away. You fill out a piece of paper to order and customize everything to your liking. I ordered the black garlic tonkotsu with the additional toppings and it was alot of food. Definitely could've shared. Broth wasn't amazing to me but did its job.

    Went around 8 PM with a party of 6. One important note: they won't seat your party until everyone is there, so my girlfriend and I waited around 5-10 minutes for the rest of the group to arrive. Once we were seated, the process was smooth -- they have a paper ordering system where you can customize your ramen down to broth type, noodle firmness, and add-ons. I really like that level of personalization. I got the God Fire broth (spice level 1) with regular taste, normal noodle firmness, green onions, and all the standard toppings. We also shared gyoza and regular chicken karaage for the table. The ramen overall was solid. I loved the ratio of veggies to meat -- as someone who likes a 50/50 or even 60/40 split, this bowl made me happy. But if you're someone who prefers a protein-heavy ramen, I'd suggest ordering extra chashu because there wasn't a ton by default. The broth itself definitely had a kick, even at spice level 1, but it didn't carry much of a tonkotsu flavor. Since I chose God Fire instead of the regular pork broth, I think next time I'll go with the classic to get more of that deep, creamy tonkotsu richness. The noodles were cooked perfectly. Veggies-wise, it's mostly just cabbage and bean sprouts -- not a huge variety, but I didn't mind. The karaage was one of the stars of the night. Super crispy, flavorful, and good even without sauce -- but warning: it stays burning hot for a while after coming out, so give it time before diving in. This place was a solid ramen experience, and I would definitely go back, especially to test out some other broth combinations and appetizers.

    I was craving some ramen so I stopped by here on my way home. The moment I entered the doors of the restaurant, I felt like I was transported to a restaurant in Japan. It's a different way of ordering as you sit down and pick on a piece of paper of what you would like. I picked the black tonkotsu ramen. The noodles were just the way I personally like them, and broth not salty at all. It was overall a nice meal on a cool afternoon. Service was also great!

    Tonkotsu Regular Ramen
    Jasmine N.

    3.7 stars. Small shop in a strip mall. We came later on a weeknight and all the tables were filled. Just got a regular tonkotsu ramen with thin noodles and normal texture. It was a solid bowl of ramen but not completely satisfying. Felt like a quick ramen meal rather than a specialty ramen that I intentionally came out to eat and the latter is what I expect. The broth was fatty but lacked some depth. The noodles and chashu were the right texture though.

    Spicy Miso Tonkotsu Ramen
    Adriana F.

    Wow I felt like I was back in Tokyo eating here! I ordered the Spicy Miso Tonkotsu Ramen. I loved how customizable ordering was. You can specify the additional toppings, spiciness level, noodle thickness, etc., so you can create the perfect bowl of ramen to your liking. The spicy miso tonkotsu broth was rich, flavorful, spicy, and garlicky. I personally like ramen noodles a bit thicker, so being able to specify was great. The chashu pork was tender. The other toppings included were an egg, bamboo shoots, corn, and green onions. Overall, this was a perfect bowl of spicy miso tonkotsu ramen! I'm going to visit again when I'm in OC and try the other Tonkotsu Ramens and appetizers like the karaage. I can definitely see why it's an award winning tonkotsu ramen!

    Hakata Style Gyoza
    Sylvie C.

    Not sure why this restaurant doesn't have a higher rating. I thoroughly enjoyed my ramen and crispy gyoza. The restaurant was packed during Sunday lunchtime. It has a snug interior with barely enough elbow room or pathways to walk around. The air is a bit stuffy and the volume of other customers talking or eating feels like I am eating with everyone at the table. The restaurant is dimly lit too. The service was prompt, polite, and efficient. I have zero complaints. Would love to visit again in the future when I am in the area.

    Overall, was pleased with this place! I've been on the hunt for authentic ramen since coming back from japan and this wasn't too far off! I really enjoyed the gyoza and the texture of the noodles. Overall happy with my meal but still on the hunt for a ramen that reminds me of japan.

    Slightly overcooked
    Kenji Y.

    Perfect ramen with excellent service. Walked into Spitz playing with a diverse customer base and we knew we were in good hands. I tried the basic tonkotsu ramen with everything set to normal with the extra egg/chashu and it was delicious. The egg was slightly overcooked, but that didn't stop me at all from enjoying the rich ramen broth. Friendly fast service. Thank you!

    Miso Ramen
    Kwang C.

    At 5:30 in the evening, there weren't many customers yet, so the service was extremely fast-all the dishes were served in less than five minutes. The large Karaage Curry was crispy, and unlike at other places, the fried chicken was served with curry rice. I liked this even more than ramen. The Miso Ramen came with bamboo shoots and seaweed. The sliced pork was just okay. I chose the normal noodle firmness, and they were pleasantly chewy with a slight softness. The miso pork bone broth was rich in flavor, but a little too salty. My right big toe joint was in pain overnight - my gout had flared up again. Sigh, although this kind of rich, high-purine broth was delicious, I should have had just a few sips instead of finishing the whole bowl. The seaweed salad was so-so. The two of us ordered one side dish, one bowl of rice, and two bowls of noodles. With a 15% tip and tax included, the total was $59.54, or $29.77 per person, which was quite affordable. 傍晚五點半客人還不多,服務超迅速,所有餐點不到五分鐘就上桌了。 大碗炸雞咖哩飯酥脆好吃,和別家不同的是,炸雞是配咖哩飯吃的。我喜歡這更甚於拉麵。 含蔥/筍乾/海苔的味增拉麵。肉片口感一般。麵條硬度選正常,軟中帶彈,不錯。味增豬骨湯味道濃郁,但有點過鹹。 隔夜右大腳趾關節痛,痛風又犯了。唉,這種高嘌呤濃湯雖味美,但以後還是嚐一兩口就好,別整晚喝光了。 前菜涼拌芝麻海藻一般。 兩人點一份小菜,一碗飯,兩碗麵,15%小費含稅$59.54,平均每人$29.77,算便宜。

    The best ramen in OC and the USA!! Too bad we came on their last day today, it seems the landlord didn't want to extend their lease... really strange, maybe they're going to do this to the whole shopping area and build something new? The music is super Japanese and awesome, the staff is really nice, and the food is just stunningly authentic & amazing quality!!

    Hakata Ikkousha Ramen Reviews in Other Languages

    Ask the Community - Hakata Ikkousha Ramen

    Is the chashu mentioned on the menu pork or is there an option for chicken (since I can't eat pork) it seemed like you can customize your ramen which I loved but couldn't the same for that chashu meat?

    Chasu itself is pork, I don't think they have a chicken version of Chasu. They have fried chicken which is pretty good.

    What kind of broth is the god fire ramen?

    The broth of god fire ramen is mixture of Tonkotsu and chili paste. It's tasty!

    Do they have vegetarian ramen? From the menu photo, it seemed like no :/

    they used to but not anymore

    Please update the business hours... Sunday night Yelp saying you guys closing on 10pm. We arrived at 9pm EMD up staff notify us that "sorry we are close" kinda waiste people time to drive there ehh?

    Yup that's a big waste of time

    What toppings come with the black devil ramen since its not on the menu and how much is it?

    The usual mushrooms, onions, and chashu. It's about $9.75, but that bowl was a seasonal special

    Are there any vegan or vegetarian options for ramen?

    They have a veggie ramen, but I don't know about the broth for it. They currently have a vegan ramen, but it's for a limited time

    Can I dine at the store at 9.20?

    Never been there that late so not sure. What I can assure you is they only serve 20 bowls of Tonkotsu a day.

    Has anyone tried to redeem the "special prize" after 5 completed stamp cards? (I just dont want it to be a Tshirt or something, when I could have had a free bowl of my favorite ramen 👀👀👀)

    You get a Golden Ticket which makes your next meal free. I think it was up to 2 people get 2 bowls, 1 add on, 1 appetizer for free. Valid at all locations

    Can I get chicken instead of pork?

    I don't see any chicken option for either broth or meat for the ramen. However, They do have amazing Special Fried Chicken.

    Are there vegan options (broth with no animal product base)?

    Yes

The lady who served us was friendly and gave us good recommendations. I think she was handling the whole operation to be honest. To start it off, we ordered their specialty chicken karaage and it was very delicious. It has a nice crispy and crunchy texture. The batter on the chicken was good and once you bite it, the meat is juicy and tender. Doesn't really need dipping since it's so good. As for the Mazemen, we ordered the Deluxe and Veggie one, both is a 5/5. Very flavorful and it tastes just like ramen, but without the soup. The presentation of the dish looks like a work of art. Very picture pretty. I ate that shit up within ten minutes. After that they give you a scoop of rice so you can mix it up with the leftover sauce. Lots of umami for sure. Definitely will come back again to try the other flavors. People, trust me and come through!

    I've been around this area for so long but only just now am I trying Kashiwa Ramen!…read more Going inside, the seating area is not large, and off the bat, I couldn't get seated with my family because the 2 high chairs they have available were already taken by another family. Thankfully, they had a booster seat available to have our child sit on. We ordered a miso ramen, a spicy black garlic ramen and a gyoza for our appetizer. The person taking our order was patient with us as we ordered even as we were dealing with our toddler. Our requests were accommodated respectfully and to the best they could! Upon first glance, the gyoza looked good, like it was a family recipe and made from scratch! The spicy garlic ramen had thick, and a tasty looking broth and the portion sizes for the ramen looked like decent enough for the price. The taste for the gyoza was good, but the spicy black garlic ramen definitely stole the show! The broth was the perfect level of savory with a delicious blend of garlic that wasn't overpowering along with the pork broth. The chashu was incredibly tender and flavorful and the ramen was cooked perfectly - *chefs kiss*, amazing! Another reason that helped me decide on eating here was that there is a student discount for OCC students! Definitely cool that the local business is supporting local students! I had a great experience eating here with my family - the food was delicious, the staff was helpful and it was joy!

I didn't know much about this place before trying it but was reassured by the queue of people waiting. Great price points for absolutely delicious food. Although I enjoy ramen, I was in the food for spicy tuna, I tried a large bowl with two generous portions of incredibly fresh and delicious spicy tuna. This almost reminded me of a tuna tartare because of how finely the mince on the tuna was, I was surprised I liked it as much as I did as I was experience larger tuna chucks like poke, I'm so glad they made the decision to prepare the tuna this way. Along with the generous portion of rice and salad with the bowl, this was a perfect lunch option. I also treated myself to the crispy chicken kaarage, a definite treat. Freshly made and delicious option. Overall, I will absolutely be back, even the infused water was memorable. Service was great, friendly and knowledgeable. There is an optional service charge that the service make sure you are aware about.
