Wanted to try something new and this was perfect! The decor is nice and cozy. Service was great- staff is friendly. I got the monkeykey ramen and it was sooo good. The pork belly was perfect and the broth was very tasty. Also tried the beef curry and the beef was perfectly tender. I definitely recommend. read more

This ramen place is so unique with special favors like TRUFFLE ramen!! I got that one and as a truffle lover wow it was AMAZING!! And I came from chino hills which has alot of good ramen places. We also had chicken katsu curry and karaage which were both perfection. This was such a gold find considering the limited asian options in this county. I already know I'll be a regular here cuz it was mouth watering delicious. PS the server we had was just SUCH a vibe!!! Hope i get him again next time! read more

I stopped by while in Simi Valley for work training and wanted to support a local business. The restaurant was clean, the staff was friendly, and the service was quick. Unfortunately, the ramen didn't meet my expectations. The tonkotsu broth looked rich and creamy, but it lacked the depth of flavor and seasoning I normally expect from this style of ramen. The chashu pork was also dry and tougher than it should have been, instead of being tender and melt in your mouth. The noodles and soft boiled egg were good, and the presentation was nice, but the broth and pork are the stars of a ramen bowl, and they fell short during my visit. It may have just been an off day, so I'd be willing to give them another try in the future. I hope they can improve the consistency because the staff was welcoming, and I'd love to have a better experience next time. read more

Parking: More than ample parking between the businesses within the plaza. We came at around 6-7 and we easily found parking in time for a nice dinner. Ambiance The environment was very relaxing, although definitely small. Food We ordered the Mentaiko Chicken Tonkatsu as well as the Chicken Wonton Soup ramen. The soup did not come out as hot as we would have liked, it felt like it was just warmed. Although the chicken wonton soup came with a clear broth, we felt that it was oily. The actual chicken wontons had a good flavor and texture. The dish was simple but was sufficient. The mentaiko chicken tonkatsu ramen felt like it lacked depth despite being a tonkatsu broth. Although, the chicken that topped the dish was very flavorful and seemed to be marinated well. The noodles were the classic texture and the topping for me felt standard. Service Our waitress was nice, but it definitely felt a bit understaffed and we were forgotten about (I don't blame her since we were taking our time with the menu). read more

Service was wonderful and the food was really good. It seemed pretty clean but when I reached for the sauces I was met with grease and stickiness; grossed me out. read more

This unassuming spot really surprised me! My brother recommended this place when we came to town and he was staying in a nearby hotel. We gave it a try and my belly was glad I did. The place is cute and comfy-just a handful of tables inside and a kind of low-light atmosphere. The tables were pretty much all full but the table we were sat at, which was a good sign from the jump. The service was helpful and steered us right. We tried the spicy beef ramen, and it had awesome flavor. I would recommend medium spiciness, like I had it, if you're generally comfortable with spice. They will bring you more chili paste to spice things up more if you want it. The beef was tender and the broth had a great kick to it. I think I picked up a lovely hint of ginger with it that made the flavor very complex and interesting...anyway, if you're in the area, do yourself a favor and come in. It's absolutely worth it. read more

I dont know how this place isn't a full 5 start. This ramen is phenomenal. Seating was comfy. The decor was nice. The service was great! The servers were very nice and informative when I asked questions. I started with the pork gyozas. They were juicy and the sauce was nice. I got the tonkotsu ramen with chicken and tofu. Got level 2 spicy. Could have done 3 or 4 spicy. The broth was sooo flavorful and rich! The chicken was grilled and seasoned to perfection. I love that it wasn't just a boiled chicken breast. I will definitely be ordering this again. 10/10 read more

Today was my 5th time here! (Yes I kept count) Service was 100/100 as always. I've had most of their appetizers, they are always very hot when served which lets me know it's fresh! My favorites are the moneykey ramen and the pork short ribs ramen. What keeps me from trying other spots is the team that works here! Love their energy! read more

I had been wanting to try this place, and I finally remembered to stop by. As a Simi Valley local, I was excited to try their ramen. The restaurant is very clean, organized, and cozy. I was greeted and seated right away. I ordered the regular pork ramen and spicy tuna rolls. The waitresses were very nice, which I really appreciated. The ramen was delicious, flavorful, and served piping hot. The service was also very fast. They brought me the bill, I paid using the QR code, and I was out in less than 45 minutes. I really enjoyed my lunch here! It is a great ramen spot. If you live in Simi Valley or are visiting, come and try it! read more

We had dinner here around 6:30 on a Sunday and the place was pretty packed. We started out with some Takoyaki, and ordered their Classic Tonkatsu ramen and Spicy Miso ramen, both with pork. The Takoyaki came out hot and was delicious! The Classic Tonkatsu ramen had a very good broth, savory pork slices, soft boiled egg, and the ramen had just the right amount of firmness to it. Delicious indeed. The Spicy Miso ramen had a good kick to it. It had the same deliciousness as the Classic Tonkatsu ramen, but spicy. The restaurant has a good amount of seats & tables, and they also have bar seating. The staff were very attentive and helpful. Overall a great experience. Can't wait to come back and try some other items. Don't be fooled by the some of the negative reviews, this place is legit so come by and give it a try. Happy Nom Nom! read more

We stopped by today for the ramen after my post opt for shoulder surgery. I tried eating with my left hand which worked out great. The spicy tuna onigiri was fantastic. We never had one that good. My chicken ramen with chicken wontons was the best as I don't eat pork. We will be back again for the great service and food. Thanks read more

The Spicy chicken ramen soup was good...I ordered mild spicy but it was pretty spicy that made my nose run.... the chicken and toppings were delicious and I enjoyed the freshness of the soup. The california roll was a pretty standard roll nothing special but tasty, the Thai tea was a bit too sweet. The service was quick and attentive and the ambiance pretty normal.to a pretty busy hall in the wall spot. I will recommend it and visit it again to try other food items read more

I visited last night and was impressed by so many things there! Food - started with spicy garlic edamame and a Money Key sushi roll. Portions were generous and tasty! I tend to try items named after the place and the roll delivered and had a nice crunchy onion topping for great texture. Classic Tonkotsu ramen - very flavorful broth that wasn't too oily at all with great mix of veggies and nicely prepared egg! Drinks - premium cold sake and Kirin First Press malt washed it all down. Service - stellar! attentive but not over the top Atmosphere - comfy seating with a selection of bar, individual tables and communal tables. Parking was easy with plenty of spots directly in front. I'll def be back to try the other items on the menu! read more

I really enjoyed the pork short rib ramen here! I didn't have high expectations at first since ramen didn't really seem like a staple in this area but I was pleasantly surprised! The broth was definitely rich in umami flavor and it was perfect for the cold weather. Loved that I could have my favorite toppings as well- bean sprouts and ajitama egg. My fiance got the black truffle garlic ramen which was also really good but he liked mine better haha. Also love the play on the restaurant name! In case you didn't know Maneki Nekos are Japanese lucky cats! And they had a fun statue of their version moneykey neko! It was cute and really added to their unique vibe. read more

Why didn't we try Monkey Ramen sooner? We had tofu Ramen, pork gyoza, CA roll, teriyaki. All very good. I hate kale and even the kale was good. Not cheap but what is these days? I feel like we got our money's worth. I would've rated 4 stars but Nathan works there and he's the best, so I bumped it to 5 stars. read more

MoneyKey has a very nice atmosphere and a very exciting and robust menu for a ramen restaurant. The spicy tuna over crispy rice was very tasty and larger than expected which is always nice. To top things off the pork and chicken in the ramen was grilled which was amazing and very unique. Service was quite friendly and hospitable as well. read more

The interior looks slightly different and more tables and chairs available in comparison to when it first opened. We got the chicken katsu curry, beef sukiyaki bowl, and takoyaki. I was very surprised by how big the portion was for the chicken katsu. All the food was very delicious. We also wanted to get the tempura ice cream again, but apparently it's no longer on the menu. Instead, we got the green tea ice cream, which was good too. Looking forward to coming here again next time when I'm in the area. read more

Saturday afternoon (yes, I know, ramen in a heatwave no judgment please ). I'm new to the area, so I asked Claude to recommend a spot, and it pointed me here. Walked in and used their convenient self-checkout to place a to go order spicy beef ramen for myself. I was greeted by the sweet and amazing Eric, and honestly, I don't think I waited more than 5 minutes for my food. Beyond impressed with the speed. The packaging was on point, and the ramen itself was so flavorful. I could've gone spicier (I can handle the heat!), but that's a me thing, not a them thing. Will definitely be back. Highly recommend if you're in Simi Valley and craving real ramen. read more

Great to have a little diversity in Simi Valley. Finally some restaurants beyond chain food exist in town! This restaurant is a perfect addition to Simi Valley located near the mall off Erringer. It's nice to have a place to grab some Ramen rather than running to Porter Ranch to visit a chain Ramen place. This little restaurant is super cute with excellent service. The restaurant offers a long list of ramen options with a choice of protein plus various other entrees beyond Ramen. Worth a try! read more

Dined 12/26/25 This place is SO GOOD and I'd love to gatekeep it but that's rude. The staff is friendly every time I'm there and it adds to a great experience. Usually bustling with people, especially when it's raining. The ramen broth is so good and rich and a pretty good amount of protein is given!! Most places in LA give like 2 pork slices but here I think I got like 3 or 4. The spicy garlic edamame is an unexpected new favorite. I thought it would be on the more garlicy side, then I got it and it smells like Sambal sauce, but eating it was the BEST OF BOTH. 10/10 I'll always come again thank you for being a good spot in VC. read more

This review is not about the food or the look of the location. For Simi valley this place is cute since Simi doesn't have cute spots like this. I've been to other places that serve ramen/comfort food like this outside Simi. My review is to the service provided to my daughter and I. We got our orders taken fast and our food also came fast which was nice. My issue was after we got our food. No one came to see if we were done, needed anything else or simply hand us our bill to get us out of there. Many servers came to the table next to us to check on them, see if they were doing ok. No one stopped at our table. After sitting there for about an hour waiting for someone to bring us our bill like they did with other tables but our, I walked to the register and requested to pay so we could leave and still no one asked if our food was good or if we needed anything else or apologized for not showing up at all. I know after my review is read they'll know who we are so here's a tip for you. Next time don't judge a book by its cover, and maybe if you're curious about how that persons day was, simply ask. We had just got back from the beach, that's why my hair looked a mess and my clothes wrinkled. We wouldn't go eat out if we couldn't afford it so next time you see a slightly disheveled, person be a little kinder. Also if you don't want to interact with them maybe bring the bill after they finish eating so they leave and you don't have make their end of day comfort meal become a sour experience. God bless you...we won't be going back so you won't deal with us again. read more

I love noodles and I definitely got my noodle fix. No complaints about the ain dishes we had, delicious and a nice size portion. We got crab-cream cheese croquets which were mostly cream cheese but pretty darn tasty. They had 2 major errors that happen to be my pet peeves. We each had a beer and they were not cold. When I pointed this out too the server he brought a chilled glass, but only one. So really, that's an error and a half. My next problem was I had the last bite of our croquette on the plate, a server said "can I take this?" I said "no" and she took it! These are rookie mistakes. What has service become? read more

Extremely disappointing. Very very bland. My pork ramen tasted fishy but bland. There was no fish in my ramen and fishy flavor was overwhelming. Very under flavored, very bland and underwhelming for $22 bowl of tasteless food. I won't be back. UPDATE TO OWNER RESPONSE: Im aware of Ramen and what its supposed to taste like. I love pork ramen and I love umami flavor. IThis wasn't it! I've ordered Pork Ramen from many places, that's all I order - this wasn't good - at all. It wasn't umami flavor at all. It was fishy and bland. Not good. read more

So upsetting I didn't get any photos of the food as I reign superior of the camera always eats first??? Besides the point I need to audience to have a visual of how good the food is here! What a lovely portion for the price. I got teriyaki chicken with rice it was to die for. Understand it is a tight space so wait times will happen try to beat the traffic and run over curbs to miss that rush hour. read more

This place is SOLID! It's not the best ramen I've ever had but being only 15 minutes away, makes it the best that is the closest. Everything is super flavorful (anything spicy is NOT an exaggeration so be forewarned) and has decent portion sizes. OBSESSED with the fresh garlicky cucumber salad; have gotten it every time we come. Service has been hit and miss. Once while here, I'm sure our server forgot to put in our order because we had to wait nearly an hour but saw several people who sat/order after us receive their food. A couple of times the pork has been a little on the chewy side rather than tender. The side noodle price is a little outrageous($4.50) and the most expensive I've ever seen at a ramen house. Despite those cons, the flavor keeps us coming back. Will continue to when we want good ramen but don't want a long drive. It's in a shopping center so plenty of parking and the interior is SUPER cute. Even has a shallow counter to sit at like you'd see at legit ramen places. read more
