    The absolute best in the South Bay Area!  Garlic Bomb and Chicken Karage
    Kim P.

    I love their Ramen! I use to come here for lunch. My go-to is the Garlic Bomb (Level2) and Chicken Kagage is always fresh and super tasty. My server was warm and friendly and checked on me a couple of times. The ambiance is nice and casual with nice soft music playing. You must dine in if you're in the area.

    Always awesome. Never go wrong. Try something different but always have to get that extra egg. Service is always great and fast. Decor is beautiful and we love to sit under the 3 samurais of the dodgers.

    Garlic Bomb Ramen with Spicy Miso base. Toppings: Deep Fried Garlic, Charshu, Boiled Egg.

    My friend swears this restaurant serves the best ramen in the South Bay so we had to try it for ourselves. Seating is limited and it fills up quickly so we got there at 6pm on a Tuesday and secured a table with no problem. The selection of ramen is quite large and the staff is friendly. We all ordered the Garlic Bomb with Spicy Miso broth. They offer spice levels from 1-10. I got a spice level of 3 and could have gone 1-2 levels higher. The ramen does come with 1 chashu piece, so I ordered an extra 2 pieces and the boiled egg. It definitely is really tasty and worth waiting in line for.

    Perfect for a rainy day at home, I did take out. Walked in and greeted by friendly staff that recommended what I ordered. Sat down for about 10 min and waited (the place was full of diners) Brought my ramen and buns back home and enjoyed a delicious meal!

    It was a chilly night tonight and we all wanted something to warm up that was comforting. Ramen was the top choice. Ko-Ryu to the rescue. We had fried Gyoza and Takoyaki to start, ( sorry no photo to show) and wonton ramen & fried chicken curry ramen. Both really delicious and hit the spot. The curry had a little kick but very tasty. The wait staff very nice and filled our water promptly. Ambiance casual.

    I had a nice experience at Ko-Ryu Ramen. I ordered the Shacho Ramen with miso broth, which I found to be fairly good. It was definitely very rich, which was mostly appreciated, except it was too salty because of how rich it was. The service was good, and my party was seated immediately when we came on a Saturday night.

    Food and service was good. I noticed that the one in San Pedro gives a little more ramen than this one. I also noticed that they don't serve dessert like how the Pedro one does. They did however give my son some baseball and basketball trading cards, which was a nice gesture.

    I absolutely love the Shacho Ramen here I know it's probably not traditional or whatever but it's broth with the Sesame paste in it just tastes so good to me. Also it comes with bamboo shoots, extra ground pork along with the chashu, bean sprouts, etc. There's also this cool photo wall of ppl who've eaten super spicy bowls in the past. The food comes out pretty fast as well.

    Chicken Buns
    Jenn G.

    It has been years since I have been to Kyo-Ryu . Recently I was at a nearby Home Depot for an errand. It was a cold and chilly night and ramen seemed perfect. With Ko-Ryu right there; it was meant to be for me to get ramen here once again. Wow! I was quite impressed with my ramen dinner here. I honestly found myself asking why it's taken me this long to come back. I got the Shacho Ramen. I was so impressed with how big the ramen was. It came with two large pieces of pork shashu, lots of ground pork and noodles. The ramen also had sesame paste as well as sake in its broth. The flavors of the ramen were abundant and it was definitely very enjoyable. I got it mild and it had just the right spicy kick to it. It was definitely a great ramen and did the trick for a chilly night. Aside from the Ramen; we also got the Chicken Buns here. Their appetizer comes with two. I was expecting the Chicken Buns to have crispy Chicken karaage but it was a grilled version instead. The Chicken Buns were ok but was a bit on the sweet side. I highly recommend the ramen here and I will be back very soon!

    Ko-Ryu Ramenに行ってみましたが、正直、二つ星か三つ星か迷うレベルでした。 まず、豚肉はまるで靴の底のように硬く、顎の筋トレにちょうどいいくらい。スープも悪くはないけど、本格的なラーメンとはちょっと違う感じがしました。コクや深みが足りなくて、ラーメンというより「ラーメン風の何か」という印象ですね。 日本語で注文しようとしたら完全に無視されたのもちょっと気になりました。せっかく日本風の雰囲気なのに、そこは残念。 そして、食べ終わった後、チェックが来なくて、結局自分で受付まで行って支払うハメに。サービスは正直いまいちでしたね。 ただ、意外だったのが、子どもたちは気に入ったみたいなんです。私は「まぁまぁかな...」という感じでしたが、子どもたちが「また来たい」と言ってるので、そのうちまた行くかもしれません。 結局、味はそこそこ、サービスは微妙、値段はちょっと高め。大家族でしょっちゅう行く感じではないですね。でも、まぁまぁ美味しかったし、子どもたちの評価を加味して三つ星にしました。

Their menu has definitely expanded over the years, but you can never go wrong with their classic Kitakata Ramen or their Chashu Ramen, which comes with a whopping 13 slices of pork! What makes their ramen stand out is their light, flavorful broth and thick, chewy noodles. My new favorite, however, is their Spicy Tan Tan Ramen! Unlike their classic ramen, this one has a rich, sesame-based broth and comes with cubed toro chashu. It's incredibly flavorful and satisfying! They even offer a cold version, which is perfect for those hot summer days. They also have a great selection of appetizers, including karaage chicken, gyoza, fries, takoyaki, chashu buns, and more! Another thing I really appreciate is that they provide a detailed allergen list for all their menu items! This is especially helpful for people with food allergies or dietary restrictions, making it much easier to choose what to order with confidence. Service has always been friendly and quick, and the food never disappoints. Definitely one of my favorite ramen spots, and I'm so happy I don't have to drive all the way to OC to enjoy it anymore!

We stayed in K-Town this time so it was a bit of a drive but I didn't care! We went there for lunch buuuut!!! When we arrived, the restaurant looked very dark inside. One of the workers was outside cleaning the windows so we approached her and found out that the power was out. She said they had no idea when it would be back on. I was like, "Noooooo!!!" I had waited an entire year to have their ramen again! We stayed in Torrance for a while, hoping the power would come back but it didn't look like it would be restored in time for lunch so we decided to try again for dinner instead. We stayed in Torrance a little longer because we really didn't want to drive all the way back to K-Town and then drive down again. We went back right when they opened for dinner, hoping the power was back... and it WAS!!! I had originally planned to get the Chashu Ramen but since our lunch had been delayed, I knew I wouldn't be able to finish it. So I ordered the same one I had last year, the Kitakata Ramen. The broth tasted just as good as I remembered! Unfortunately, though, the chashu was a little tough this time. I remembered it being that melt-in-your-mouth kind of tender so I was a little disappointed. (Maybe it was because of the power outage? ) But everything else was excellent! We'll be back in LA for our son's graduation in May next year so hopefully we'll get another chance to visit Ban Nai. And hopefully with no power outage!

You can see how many parties are ahead of you, and it'll notify you through the app or text when your table is ready. Definitely makes waiting a lot more manageable! The ordering process also reminded me of Japan, which I loved. You're given a sheet where you circle your preferences for everything from spice level and toppings to appetizers, making it easy to customize your meal exactly how you like it. The food came out just as I'd hoped! Unfortunately, I was so hungry that I dug in before I could get any pictures, but trust me, it was worth it. One tip: I personally like ordering my noodles a little firmer so they reach the perfect texture once the hot broth is added and brought to the table. If you prefer your noodles with a bit more bite, I'd definitely recommend trying that! Overall, a great experience from the convenient waitlist system to the customizable ordering process and delicious food. Definitely worth checking out!

It's cozy and inviting, perfect for sitting down and enjoying a warm bowl of ramen. The first time we went it was pretty busy, but it still felt comfortable.
