    Ground chicken spicy ramen (bottom left)
    Shannon W.

    I enjoyed my visit! I had a spicy ground chicken ramen. I liked that I could add a side of rice or salad for about $4 more. The service was really helpful, stopping by to check in 3-4 times during our meal. The only downside was not being able to order alcohol alongside my meal. The decor is pretty cool, and it's purposefully old-timey.

    Got the Combination A with Ramen (Tonkotsu Chashu). Pretty, pretty, pretty good. The Karaage was crispy and juicy. The salad dressing was ginger based. The broth was rich and flavorful. The Chashu was plentiful. The ramen was Al dente. Seating is available at the counter or tables. Service was very friendly. Parking can be an issue. I went there on a Saturday around 16:00. Ended up parking on the residential street.

    Spicy Miso

    Wanted ramen while in the area and found this place online. Walking in truly transports you to a old style ramen shop in Japan. The decoration is cool to look at and really contributes to the ambiance. We were seated immediately and ordered quickly. The older lady who helped us was super attentive and nice and very welcoming. Tonkotsu Ramen: 8/10, The broth was pretty good and there were loads of topping. It was rich and creamy and the texture of the noodles were perfect. We did find it a bit oily but overall pretty good. Spicy Miso: 6/10, In a similar vain to the tonkotsu, the noodle texture was perfect and there loads of topping. I found the broth to have a decent hint of spicy but it was somehow very bland. I did find it a bit oily as well. Overall, the food here is pretty solid. The staff were amazing and it's a nice place to stop and have a quick meal.

    I was not expecting much when I visited Jidaiya Ramen on a whim during a sleepy weekday lunch. I was pleasantly surprised by the friendly service provided by the two ladies at the restaurant upon entering and dining here. I got so accustomed to experiencing lousy service in Gardena and Torrance as of late, so I was extra surprised for all the good reasons. The spicy miso ramen I had did not disappoint. It had lots of toppings that made it extra satiating. The chashu was a bit on the overcooked side and very lean for my taste. Nothing bad. Just not what I am accustomed to. It was also not very spicy, but the server told me I can have it adjusted to spicier taste the next time. The gyoza was nice and crispy. Loved how well seasoned the fillings were and I could skip the extra seasonings. Hardly had to wait for my orders to come piping hot and the attentive service really helped make the dining experience pleasant. I can't emphasize that enough. It's rare to find that especially in that particular area. Love the retro Showa style decor too. The only issue I had per se was the lack of air conditioning and tight parking spaces. It would be also nice if they can bring the POS to the table to use ApplePay. Either way, I look forward to returning again in the future!

    The ramen here usually hits the spot if you are looking for something hearty and quick. The ramen noodles are thicker and the soup is flavorful and creamy. It can be a tad bit oily depending on what you order so be mindful of that. I usually add vinegar to my broth if that's the case. There are plenty of toppings on the standard order but you can definitely add more. Service is friendly and attentive. I have only been here once when there was a wait but it wasn't too long. Max time has been 10mins. Inside has a few tables and has a rustic feel of traditional Japanese ramen shops. They have some Japanese inspired art pieces hanging around restaurant. Parking on the weekdays hasn't been much of an issue but not sure what it's like on the weekend.

    Miso ramen

    This might be my favorite ramen place in town. Jidaiya's tonkotsu ramen is very rich, salty and porky. The other ramen spots tonkotsu broth tend to be lighter. Jidaiya ramen has a lot of other nice options. I really enjoyed the tsukemen ramen, the shoyu ramen and the spicy ramen options as well. The cold noodle salad served during summer is very tasty. I also appreciate how authentic this place feels. The restaurant is a little dark and comforting, with Japanese news in the background. The staff is very attentive and friendly. Jidaiya definitely feels like a great neighborhood ramen spot.

    Shoyu ramen

    Holy, this place blew me away and exceeded my expectations. We decided to try this spot for dinner before going to LAX and it did not disappoint. We came on a Thursday night and there was no wait. We were seated and I was immediately surprised by the price of each ramen bowl. It was around $10-$13 for each bowl depending on the soup base. I haven't seen those prices in years! We both added a combo which came with karaage, fried rice, and a cabbage salad. The karaage was sooo juicy. The shoyu ramen I got was super clean and savory. The tonkotsu ramen was a little saltier for my taste, but my girlfriend really enjoyed it (I prefer less heavy broths). We will definitely be coming back again!

    Got a Fried Snack Gyoza 6pc

    Called and they said there was no wait. We rushed over since we were so hungry and some near by spots had a 40 minute line. This place was busy but it was quick to get a table. We ordered and our food came out in 5 minutes! Very fast service. Tables felt busy but plenty of room and quiet enough for us to talk at a normal volume. Very tasty. Planning to come back soon.

    Tokyo Yatai
    Nicole B.

    Service was very welcoming + friendly!! Although I'm usually one to opt for tonkotsu, the Tokyo Yatai (chicken + shoyu) broth seemed promising and I was not disappointed. A piping hot bowl was delivered quickly and the broth was just as good as I had hoped. The inside is cozy like an izakaya, and I'll definitely be back! Next time I'd try the spicy miso, which also looks promising !

    Hope L.

    I love Jidaiya ramen My favorite one is kaisen ramen It opens all day and this restaurant is very close from my work! Thank you for your great work and i hope you will keep doing great work ^_^

    I love discovering hidden mom-and-pop spots like this one. The dipping ramen, (tsukemen), broth was flavorful. Not the best I've ever had, but definitely enjoyable. The staff was warm, welcoming, and very accommodating, which made the experience even better. The strip mall has several other restaurants I'm looking forward to trying, but this place is a solid stop worth checking out.

    Anita M.

    The food was delicious, it came out fast and hot yummmmm. When we walked in we were welcomed right away, the ambiance was chill and casual with light music. Service was super friendly and they brought the food out in a timely manner and kept checking in on us if we needed anything. We loved it and will definitely return. We loved the nostalgic look inside

    tonkotsu ramen (front) + dip ramen (back)
    Catherine T.

    decent ramen at a super affordable price! for tbe tonkotsu ramen, the soup is extremely flavorful and the noodles are nice and chewy. the only issue is that is VERY salty, i chugged so much water while eating this lol. the tsukemen is also really good, and has a bit of a fishier base which was nice. i think i prefer this over the soup ramen.

We also ordered the CHEESE COVERED NAAN and another humble dish that practically cried, "I could make this at home." Neither was fancy, but both were satisfyingly filling. What this spot proves, though, is that even the most unassuming plate demands a hidden craft. The silky, blended omelet gently draped over the rice was a quiet triumph, and the katsu pork struck that perfect balance--crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside. I ordered the curry at medium spice, but honestly, I think I could easily bump it up a level or two next time. They also offer a rewards program for regulars, which is a thoughtful touch. Unfortunately, the distance makes it hard for me to visit as often as I'd like.

After we placed our order, the owner seemed frustrated and a bit grouchy. I'm still not entirely sure what went wrong since our credit card went through and we even received a receipt. In the end, he had to cancel the entire order and redo it on the left iPad because, for some reason, the order never showed up on his system. After sorting everything out, we waited another 15 minutes for our food. We ended up taking our order to go since the restaurant is very small, with only one table outside. But tbh, It was absolutely delicious. I think this might be the best Japanese curry we've ever had, even better than the old Curry House days (RIP). You can customize your bowl by choosing the rice size, white or brown rice, and up to three toppings. We added an omelet egg, chicken karaage, and pork cutlet, and everything was fantastic. I ordered the mild curry, which was the perfect spice level for me, while my husband got medium and really enjoyed the extra heat. I like how they give you a big tub of curry sauce no matter which rice bowl size you choose. We'll definitely be back and remember to use the left iPad when ordering.
