Ko Ryu Ramen - Chashu Don - Ramen Near Me - San Pedro, California

Curbside dining and togo orders are welcomed. They have sanitizer and a sign in list prior to entering the establishment unless you're taking your order togo then you would just place your order inside. Staff is very friendly and although it takes a little bit of time for your food to come out.. don't fret they are giving each customer the best customer service as possible while being careful during Covid. I was referred to this place from a friend as I have migraines and I wanted something to just hug me back. As she says, "it's a hug in a bowl". Spice level ranges 1-10 and 1 is medium and that's what I added to my garlic bowl. I didn't taste the garlic and I'm a Huge Fan of garlic, the broth was on point and I wish they added more mushrooms and greenery! Either way, it was super delish and I'll be returning for more "muahahaha"!! read more

Update: your server stated it came with bean sprouts. Also, I tried to speak to management while I was there and the person just stared at me, with nothing to say, except, I can fix the soup. That wasn't the problem. The attitude of the server was the problem read more

Food is great, service is great. Calm and cozy. I have no complaints about the food or service. Simple and friendly

For the gentleman worker with the wild mustache who decided to give me the nastiest look when I asked about our appetizers... The dictionary defines an 'appetizer' as a small dish of food or a drink taken before a meal or the main course of a meal to stimulate one's appetite. Before. I get it, I have standards. This place, most certainly does not. I could forgive just about anything really, but it was more than just this. I could also go on about the long wait, the people who were sat before us - despite walking in after us and not even putting their name down, or about the fact that we were served waters in dirty glasses, in a corner booth with all the plates and napkins that was hitting me as I sat, or how others got their appetizers first and their food - despite placing orders after us... I mean... I could keep going just from one visit, but... eh. They just have no standards or care. Pass. read more

I love ramen, and having lived in the Long Beach area the past couple of years, I was really disappointed with the ramen offerings. Even during COVID time, a girl has got to get her ramen fix somehow without having to drive to West or Downtown L.A.! I had this business as a bookmark of mine (a list of places to try before I move out of Long Beach), and it did not disappoint. I used delivery service as I was working from home (in the middle of budget season), and I was able to order and get my food within 30 minutes, I want to say. My boyfriend and I ordered their spicy ramen -- he got level 5 and I got level 3 because my tolerance to spice has not been faring well over the past few years. In spite of the time for the food to travel from the restaurant to my residence and me also waiting 10-15 minutes before eating, the broth was still very warm and to the point where I did not have to reheat it -- and thankfully the way it was packed ensured there was no leak either! (It is important to note that the small cardboard piece they use in the bag really helps with transportation stability and ensures no spillage.) There was definitely a lot of broth, which I say since I do not have a large soup bowl at home. It was a good portion of noodles, meat, and vegetables. The level three spice was perfect for me as it was a harmony of various spices and gave the broth a really nice kick (I definitely felt the spice). *** Update: I dined in recently (well, outdoor dining since California is still limiting indoor activities during COVID times). The food and service were awesome. I also learned they have a spicy challenge (levels 10 and 20), when finishing level 20 within 30 minutes means free toppings for life. I am surprised to hear other reviews claiming the broth is over-seasoned or tastes funny. I personally felt that their spicy broth is one of the best I have had in the South Bay (and there plenty of really good ramen in South Bay), and it also did not get gelatinous like other ramen places that have too much pork fat in their broths. Overall, I would say this is a great ramen place in the South Bay/Harbor areas. I look forward to eating here once this pandemic is over. read more

My kids absolutely love these noodles. The noodles actually have flavor in them. Every other noodle place it's about the broth flavor with noodles. These noodles are delicious. We tried spicy level 2. I think we can go up one or two levels. You will love this place. Very quiet intimate restaurant. Only problem could be parking. read more

I think the food is great. Its actually my favorite ramen in town. If you are debating on going you should definitely go. If you have been craving ramen this is the best you can get. The ambiance inside is pretty good and its very clean. Never once gad i sat down and the table or chairs were dirty. The bathrooms are clean as well. One thing i wilk say is that it may be a bit pricey for a big group of people but anywhere would be pricey with a big group. There gyozas are also fantastic. They have great cotumer serivice as well. Amazing costumer service actually. The food comes out decently quick too. I would reccomend getting the koi ramed with shoyu broth. I hope you visit! read more

I am a happy regular at the one on Western. this was my first time at this location. I walked in and there was only one employee visible- a server who was standing at the bar doing nothing. She turned around, made full eye contact with me and turned back around to continue doing nothing at the bar. I waited another minute for any acknowledgment and then left. read more

Leaving three stars because the regular food seems fine. I'm sure my experience was just the result of completing a challenge but I can't be sure as I haven't gone back since. I want to like this place. I really do. Especially as a certified heat freak who loves spicy food. When I found out that these guys had a spicy Ramen challenge. I was excited. Until I actually did it. The heat wasn't the issue, I glazed through it. the issue was the seasoning. I'm not sure what spice mixture they use for making the Ramen hotter. But whatever it is it must have salt in it. A lot of it. And in order to complete the level 10 challenge, which I proudly did, i had to drink all the broth. The problem with that is by the time I got to drinking all the soup. The salt seem to have settled towards the bottom and once I started getting toward the bottom.. it was like trying to drink SALT WATER. My body physically refused to keep it down at one point and I nearly puked. had to chase it down with some soda to stop the salty flavor from making me make a mess in the restaurant. And I definitely regretted not listening to my body later. Had a crazy headache and body aches the next day. (I guess minor food poisoning from excessive salt) But hey. I got my photo on the wall. So that's cool. TO THEIR CREDIT. Up until I had the saltiest broth of my life because all of that spice settled towards the bottom of the bowl. The Ramen was actually decent. But that experience has definitely put me off from coming back. It's a good ramen spot. They just need to tweak their spices a little bit and maybe go a bit easy on the salt. maybe once I'm over my salt trauma I'll give them another shot. read more

We decided to try this place on a Sunday night when many restaurants are closed in San Pedro. Very friendly the minute you walk in and the server was so helpful making recommendations. We had edamame and Koi Ramen. Both were so tasty. Service was fast - food was great - staff so friendly. Highly recommend! read more

Stopped in here last night with a craving for Ramen. Quick and easy, with good service. We ordered the garlic bomb and gyoza. Both were tasty! The heat levels are easy to understand, it goes 1-5 if you get the spicy miso. Minus one star, they don't serve alcohol and I had a craving for a Sapporo with my ramen. Either way, we will be back! read more

1st time trying out this place! I had the garlic bomb, level 3, and YES, it was an explosion of flavors! The pork was delicious, and the broth was flavorful, but a bit salty for my taste, and yet finished the entire bowl! It was a bit busy on a Friday evening and took about 10 minutes to be seated. read more

Super delicious! I had the Garlic Bomb Ramen with medium spice and it was just perfect. The first bite is always the spiciest and then your palate adjusts and it's just tasty. There is a good amount of garlic flavor--meaning vampires beware! The Huz had the Wonton Ramen and he liked it. We also had a milk tea boba and a taro milk tea boba and we both enjoyed those as well. The dining area is small and there are some outside eating areas as well. Downtown San Pedro is a vibe and this location just fits into that vibe. I have a feeling I'll be craving the Garlic Bomb in the near future so we'll be back. read more

The food was great. The restaurant was clean and had a nice neighborhood vibe. I've not had "authentic " ramen in enough quantity to be an expert but I'm sure this would satisfy the pickiest of diners. Really glad I stopped. I have to come back. read more

The ramen comes with one small piece of meat which is disappointing. Broth is nice and rich. Most ramen places that I've had were better than this. We got it to go so I have nothing to say about the service really other than it was ready when they said it would be. read more

Absolutely love this place. Their vegetable ramen with vegetable broth + subbing kale noodles makes it fully vegan-friendly. I always go for the spicy, but that's just me. Their levels say 1-5, 3 is considered hot, you can technically go up to 50. I usually get 8, have gone up to 10. At 10, 20 or 50, you can get your name on the wall, if you empty your bowl within 30 minutes. Their edamame is also really good as well! read more

Brqvo bravo! Kudos . I went back with my family and my opinion of this place had gone up ! Very speedy service here ! Friendly people and very attentive !

Wow! So we ordered Togo on a Wednesday night an hour before their closing time. When we got back home to try the food everything was still piping hot and the noodles were amazing despite the fact that I had to travel over 30 mins to get back home. I tried the Fried Chicken ramen for myself and made the spicy level 7 and it sure was spicy and flavorful! The noodles were chewy the way I like it (still impressed since we took it Togo). The chicken was not as crispy as it would have been at the restaurant but it was still good! I also got to try the broth of the Koi ramen and thought it was AMAZING! It was rich and flavorful ordered at a level 5 spicy. I think next time I go I would order this but at at level 7 spicy. No pictures since we were so hungry and we just ate straight out of the Togo containers. They packaged the noodles meat and soup separately but everything fit in the soup container. Drooling just writing this review! read more

Literally could not recommend this place more, I come here so often with friends. I'm always bringing someone new!! My go to is the spicy garlic edamame and gyozas to start, and for ramen the garlic bomb level 3 with extra green onions. Not only is the food delicious and always so incredibly fresh, but the service/personalities there are AMAZING!!! I've had the pleasure of meeting the owner, Kai, and it's evident that he is so passionate about going above and beyond for his guests. I will continue to be a loyal customer here and bring anyone and everyone I know. The prices are very reasonable, and I always end up with ramen to go because the portions are so large! It's very clean, I love that there's outdoor dining, too with high seating so I can enjoy the night life Pedro has to offer. Thank you for being my favorite Ramen spot in Pedro!!! read more

As you walk in you're able to choose your seat; and the server (female) asks you what you like and will allow you to decide and take your time on the menu (I come here often she's super sweet)... on a day like yesterday where me and my friend weren't quiet ready to order it felt as if the server (male) rushed over to get our order in.... yes he did ask if we had questions and helped out but it just felt like he was in a rush to get our food and us out the door... maybe it's because it's such a small place and it does get busy but as humans we take our time to OVER look our option regardless if we've been there several times. The food quality and quantity is amazing. I ordered a kids miso spicy level 2 with chicken wontons since I don't really eat pork. The substitution for chicken was convenient. The spicy edamame's are my new favorite item on the menu now my friend ordered them it was my first time trying. As for the spicy levels beware, 2-3 are up there on the scale. Take it slow with the spicy levels and choose 1 if you're not too sure. 2 I recommend as a start but 1 to keep it safe so you can enjoy your ramen with a kick. read more

I went some time ago I got a very delicious ramen plate! I would totally recommend it's very pretty inside and the prices are cheap considering the amount they give you. I would probably go once more soon this winter as it's colder. It seems very simple on the outside but the inside is super decorated and the waiters were super nice to my friends and I. read more

Let me just say, wow. The broth here is amazing. I got the Koi Ramen. Seriously, it's probably one of the best broths I've had and I've eaten my fair share of ramen in the US and Japan. The marinated egg (tamago) is also very good, I could eat five of these things and I'd still want more. The chasu is a bit lacking, but I can forgive that due to the broths richness making up for it. Karaage was also just okay, but it did not cost that much to add to my bowl so I am not upset. The gyoza is also good! Just wish it came with a dipping sauce. I got my order to go and it was packed very well. The cardboard piece they use at the bottom of the bag makes spilling less likely. They also packed the gyoza and karaage in foil making it less likely to get soggy. read more

amazing food , great service and nice staff. I will keep coming back on this place...i highly recommend to everybody.

Pretty bad ramen greasy and not much good favor and noodle is soggy. The place is not clean and hardly able to have the servers come by.

Great service! Never have I dined in but just ordered take out. Best broth I've ever tasted! My favorite is the garlic bomb, with spicy miso

Food is delicious and their service is incredible. The vibes super upbeat inside and super chill outside. Fantastic lunch spot read more

I understand why there's always a line in waiting for a table to dine here. The food and service are amazing. And surprisingly, they do a ton of take out business. There's patio dining which we felt heightened our dining experience. Aside from people watching, it was just the fresh air of eating outside. I had the sho you ramen and it was loaded with cha shu. More than I ever expected to have, but who's complaining. It was a refreshing meal even on a hot summer day. read more

This is a third of four that I've been to. It's smaller than the one in Torrance and the other on Hawthrone. We were sat by a nice lady who took our drink orders and took our ramen orders on a tablet. The ramen is pretty good from this company so there's no need for me to go into specifics. She and another girl brought our food which was really good. I like this establishment more than the others and the fact that it's close to where I was hanging out, I will have yet another familiar establishment in San Pedro to visit. read more
