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

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

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

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

Three times a week. Yeah. It's that good. Glad to have a good ramen place in the neighborhood, no need to drive far for a good bowl of ramen. Friendly service. However, not a big place so it filled up fast. The spicy miso ramen is my favorite. Classic Tonkatsu, Spicy beef ramen, Garlic truffle, Should ramen. Yeah, I tried these all and taste very good. Love the texture of the ramen too. Perfect. 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.

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

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

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

Great food selection and tastes great! Great customer service and friendly staff! We love spicy garlic edamame and pork gyoza!! The ramen tasted superb and even the rice dishes did not disappoint 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

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 place is terrible. I had high hopes for the only Ramen restaurant in Simi Valley. The worst part is every time we go there broth taste different. Sometimes it's great. At others it's terrible but either way they don't care they won't refund your money even if you don't eat the soup I feel like their customer service needs to be better and understand that consistency is key. read more

Food great! Service great! Ambiance great! It's a small establishment so seating might be a a little challenging if you have a big party. The staff is very friendly and on their game. The food was fantastic, we got the spicy beef ramen and spicy beef rice bowl and both were fantastic, very flavorful and good portion size. Will definitely be coming back to try other dishes. read more

Oh my gosh, new favorite spot. The food is so yummy, the portions are amazing, and the price is hard to beat. The indoor atmosphere is also such a vibe. The service was 10/10. We will be back soon! 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

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

The food is absolutely amazing, some of the best ramen I've had in socal and it should be noted that the service is so accommodating and kind. We had let our waiter Eric know there was an allergy at the table and he made absolute sure there was no cross contamination in our meals! Thank you to the Monkeykey staff for an amazing dinner! 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

The food here was genuinely great -- flavorful, well-prepared, and definitely the highlight of the experience. Unfortunately, the service really missed the mark. My son, husband, and friends all received their meals at the same time, but my food didn't arrive until about 10 minutes later, when everyone else was nearly finished eating. I asked the waiter twice about my meal, and there was no apology or sense of urgency. On top of that, he forgot my son's lemonade and my husband's beer. Good food can't fully make up for poor service, especially when it disrupts the experience for the entire table. I hope this is something management can address, because the kitchen is clearly doing something right. read more

Too expensive , Food was just okay but is way toooo expensive for a family of 4. Tried and would probably never go back read more

We are pleasantly surprised to find such an Asian gem in Simi. It really felt like a ramen shop you'd find in Gardena or San Gabriel Valley. Food: Very tasty menu, lots to choose from and they servings are quite large. The chicken katsu rice meal was very large, but fried well and the vegetables complement it well. The ramen we selected were tasty, hot, and filling. I loved the pork and think it's the best in the 805. It has a nice texture on the outside that you don't get with other ramen shops pork slices. And I loved their sweet tea. Very odd to have an Asian restaurant serve quality sweet tea, but it's a win for me. My only ding here would be no offering of kid's menu or portions. Service: Very friendly and attentive staff. We came in around 7pm on a weeknight and it was packed. But we were lucky to get seated quickly. Our food came out quickly and the staff checked on us regularly. Ambiance: Despite it being a small restaurant, the decor and energy felt traditional in a sense to how a ramen shop would be in L.A. on a busy evening. You are going to be seated near other customers and may have to share a large table with strangers. But the food is good and service is welcoming and quick. You will get seated before you know it. Tip: don't come in large groups if you want to be seated together. Most tables fit 2-4 people. read more

Stopped by mid afternoon which was great because the service was pretty prompt. Had the chicken yakisoba which was delicious. Other orders included the chicken rice bowl and bacon rice bowl. Everyone enjoyed the food!! Will definitely come back and try the ramen. It's a cute place but a bit small. I hope they do well and expand in the future! read more

Got takeout last week from here last week. Let me start by confessing...I'm a ramen snob. And I was not a fan of their ramen. Myself and my daughter were disappointed with the flavor profiles. But that being said the sushi and sides were on point! So delightful we stuffed our faces. The place is a chill typical ramen spot but parking can be an issue because of the stupid overpriced BBQ place nearby. read more

The drive to Sawtelle or Gardena has shrunk or diminished because of this new spot located in Simi Valley. The dishes we ordered were spectacular! It's full of flavor and savory! I could taste the quality of ingredients. Normally, it takes preparation to get to this quality. To know they're open before noon was mind boggling! The chicken karaage was insanely good! The dip that comes with it elevates it to another level. It was fire! Their ramen was also the star! Their broth has a good balance of flavor and fat. It was velvety smooth. Their shrimp tempura roll was also a welcome to our table. It looked great and tasted fresh and it was delicious. The tempura inside was crunchy and the shrimp has a nice girth. The service was friendly and attentive. Inside takes me back the good old days but it has touch of modern style. Even though my roof of my mouth got obliterated, it was worth it. We'll be back soon! read more

Tonkotsu broth was really rich and flavorful, and l'd be interested in going back and trying other broth flavors! Onigiri looked like masubi to me and the taiyaki was a little greasy for me, but both were fine. Aside from the ramen, our favorite was the tempura matcha ice cream!! Had a strawberry jam on top read more

Is normally leave a longer review but don't have it in me. It's simple for me when it comes to ramen -- it's all about the broth. And this place doesnt do it right IMO. I don't taste broth that has been cooked down from chicken feet / bones / pork fat... with proper flavor that can only come from slow cooking for hours. So.... Not bad in the sense that anything was wrong with it .. it just didn't do it for me. read more
