Spicy Ramen
Channing J.

I used to like this place when it was within the first 1 to 2 years of opening. Since then, it's went downhill. The flavor is not what it used to be unfortunately. I got their Spicy Ramen with Popcorn Chicken on the side and the broth felt less rich and did not have the umami I was looking for. The chicken was just... chicken. The service was decent and the ambiance was okay. There are better ramen places in the area now so I won't come back most likely.

The server was very nice and recommended the spicy miso ramen and it was so good! Their popcorn chicken portion is huge for the price. Will definitely come back again

Popcorn Chicken Ramen
Andrea G.

OBSESSED WITH THE POPCORN CHICKEN RAMEN! Pro tip: order the popcorn chicken on the side so the chicken doesn't get soggy. The serving is very generous. Great service. The location is a bit small so you don't want to show up hungry during rush hours. However it'll be worth the wait!

Drove over for lunch on a Monday. The parking in the back is small and kind of a dead end. We drove over to the plaza parking and walked over. Very small place. We wrote our name down and waited 20-25 minutes. Since we had a toddler they gave us a table for two. We ordered the Tonkotsu and my husband ordered the spicy ramen. We also got a bowl of popcorn chicken to share. Popcorn chicken was good and a good amount. They actually give a lot of ramen. My daughter and I shared a bowl. Texture of the ramen was good. I do have to say it takes a bit for the food to come out. Bathroom is in the back. You have to go outside and through their parking lot.

Great local find. After a morning of teaching golf, a bowl of ramen and popcorn chicken bits the spot. Love it

We got the spicy ramen, sesame oil ramen (forgot name), and fried squid. The ramen had good portion sizes, we both had to take to go boxes. The fried squid was a bit chewy compared to other places I've had. Overall not bad! If you post on instagram you get a free ice cream.

For $1.50 more you can add this to any Ramen so yummy

Kosuke is a cozy Japanese restaurant tucked off Main St., and honestly, I'd passed by it countless times without realizing it was even a restaurant. There's usually a cluster of people waiting at the entrance, but I never connected the dots until my husband and I decided to try it for the first time. Thankfully, we came at the perfect moment--no line, and only two tables left in this quaint little spot. The dining area is tiny, maybe eight or nine seats total, but the atmosphere is warm and inviting. The front is run by sweet, hospitable Japanese ladies who make you feel welcome the minute you walk in. What we ordered: * Takoyaki - ~$5.95 Six pieces, and they tasted freshly made in-house. Soft, creamy inside with a crisp outside--really well done. * Potato Croquette - ~$4.95 Three generously sized pieces, fried perfectly golden and deliciously comforting. * Spicy Ramen - $15.99 (+$1.50 for rice & curry) The curry on the side was incredibly flavorful, and the rice paired so well with it. A great hearty option. * popcorn chicken udon The broth was light, clean, and refreshing, and the noodles were al dente with that perfect bouncy bite. It came with a side of popcorn chicken, which was surprisingly tasty and well-seasoned. * Pork Katsu with Curry Combo We ordered this for our son, and it was fantastic--crispy pork, rich curry, and a satisfying portion. Overall: We loved everything about this place--the food, the service, the cozy vibe--and we're absolutely coming back. This is officially our new Japanese ramen spot!

I'm still trying to find a wow this ramen blows my mind place but this one was good enough. I'm not a ramen guy but it was a pleasurable experience. Ambience is cozy, we got there at like 6:30pm on a Sat and we beat the crowd. Had the spicy ramen with chashu. Noodles were a good texture, broth was rich, pork was sweet and savory, toppings complemented the soup. I asked for extra spicy, it was definitely spicy but not hallucinating, just enough to burn the palate. *Next day update: Things are hurting and burning, lol just what I asked for, so it was spicy enough. Also had a mini curry add-on, tasty like Coco Ichibana, maybe a little sweeter than that. Came with rice and curry. Popcorn chicken was delightful, I had some of a friend's order. I posted on my IG story to get FREE tasty and creamy green tea ice cream.

Summer specials

Came in for a quick lunch! I saw outside on the window there little signs and what caught my eye was the chicken bowls. I stepped inside past the curtain and there were quite a bit of ppl in there! You can't even tell from the outside. It's such a hidden gem' I yet have to try there ramen I'll wait for the winter. I tried out there summer specials so cal chicken bowl. It came with a little bit of salad, avocado, rice and chicken teriyaki . Freshly made! It was so good and tasty . The flavors were delicious. I ordered some egg rolls for appetizers and they were delicious. I've never seen somebody cut them in half like that and fry them. It's definitely a game changer for me! The location is small. I saw a few ppl grab food to go instead of dine it. Can't wait to come Back for ramen !

I'm not super fan of ramen BUT Kosuke changed my mind. I had the spicy miso ramen and it was delicious. Our server was kind and took our order right away. Will definitely come back. Also, the popcorn chicken was crunchy, spicy and fresh.

Walked in with a group of 5 for lunch on a weekday and was seated immediately. My ramen was flavorful and delicious. Service was great- servers were welcoming and helpful!

By the time I finished the salad I forgot to take a photo!

Ordered their popcorn chicken curry rice Togo. They give huge portion of popcorn chicken! It came in a separate bag along with the rice, salad and pickled raddish on one container with a container for the curry. I feel like the popcorn chicken could use some more seasoning. But it was crispy and juicy chicken overall. I really like the pickled radish it comes with.

Tonkotsu, fried ajy, chashu, black mushroom and bamboo shoots

I can't believe it took me this long to give Kosuke a try. The place is so close to where i live, but since it kinda looks like a bar, i thought they must be premium ramen. I was wrong. They have the most reasonably priced side/fried food. If you love ramen and sometimes you skipped the fried sides because it cost nearly the same like the ramen, you'll be delighted to find that Kosuke offers great fried sides that does not break the bank. Great price aside, they really don't skimp on quality. If i have to find three words to describe Kosuke, it's high discipline craft. Everything is done perfectly. The ramen broth is rich but not too thick. The noodle is more like somen, as in thin noodles, cooked perfectly that it's soft and yet not breaking. I smelled a little hint of ginger, making the flavor profile rich but refreshing. They added ginger in such a way that not only it's not overpowering, you can't find it unless you really try. Finding them as a surprise in a few of your bites truly gives a deeper experience. I ordered the spicy ramen, and the spicy doesn't come from your run of the mill red chilli oil. There's indeed a layer of oil that has aromatic spicy scent. Marvelous. And lastly, they added the right part of green onion that when you scoop the broth and chew the green onion, it gives an even deeper flavor to the broth. Chashu also immaculate. Normally you find chashu that is charred with butane torch. Sometimes it's too charred or not enough. Kosuke cooked their chashu perfectly. It's tender but not breaking. Not dry. Not gamey. It's just smooth. The fried gyoza was just okay for me. Don't get me wrong, they cooked it perfectly as well, it's just that i've been spoiled with gyozas with insane level of garlic and green onion. Gyoza skin was fried to crisp and the filling tastes mild and smooth. But the cherry on top was the fried horse mackerel. Must be the most perfect panko fry ever. Crispy, not so oily, and even the tail is nicely crunchy. It has slight fishy flavor in the best way possible. Normally when you get fried fish, it tastes more as fried fritter than actual fish. Kosuke managed to get the perfect balance where you can still taste the fish AND the panko fry. Absolutely wonderful. Even the black mushroom and bamboo shoots is perfect as well. The black mushroom was not dry and not tough. Bamboo shoots is not stinky at all. It was quite a 'fight' to finish everything. They really make your money worth; that's a lot of quality food for the price. Service was amazing too. And the best part of it is that they provide amazing service that is curt and efficient. You don't have to nod with your mouth full trying to answer to questions like "how's everything?"

See all

Is new ownership or new cooker? I been here long time this is my one of best ramen place. I ordered today, soup taste light chiken and egg little different. I hope not

I also wondered if it was different, went into the bathroom and the kitchen crew looked totally different. Didn't see the old Japanese lady or her daughter.

Is the ownership non-Japanese?

Sorry, I do not no the answer to ownership. However, everyone who work there speak Japanese.

Can I pay with debit card?

Yes, at a 3% charge

What type of container do they use to hold the hot soup for takeout?

Plastic

Are they open for dine-in?

Yes they are. Monday thru Friday is Dinner Only. Saturday is Lunch and Dinner.

Can we dine in?

It was take out only 2 weeks ago. You should call and confirm.

Is this place not listed on any delivery services (door dash, Grubhub etc)?

No, they're not

I've been trying to call, but it goes straight to voicemail...does anyone know if they temporarily closed for the holiday?

They are opened, keep trying they get very busy.

Do they have dine in?

Currently no, it's a small spot and looked to be only open for takeout for now. Would suggest calling in an order for takeout/pick-up

Open during covid?

Yes it is! Call ahead and they will have it ready in about 15 minutes. Parking is in the rear.

Yes they are. They are just busy with orders so keep trying and you will eventually get hold of them

Is this under new ownership?

Why do you ask? I don't think so.

You can get the vegetable ramen but ask for no dashi/bonito in the miso broth. They were able to accommodate my vegan friend easily :)

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.
