Relatively new Ramen shop in Old Town Pasadena. Right across from the parking structure I usually park at, which has the best prices I've seen so far for Pasadena. Decided to visit and try out their Ramen - I have also been seeing their shaved ice on social media but didn't try it. The prices were pretty expensive for simple bowls of Ramen in my opinion, and we didn't really feel like eating a lot, so we just ordered the vegan Ramen and the silky Ramen ( around $18 for both?). Both of the ramens were pretty mediocre with salty soup and nothing extraordinary about the noodles unfortunately. Compared to other Ramen shops I've visited, Tsujita didn't stand out as excellent. The service was very nice but our food came a little slow. We did come during lunch, where there were a couple people. The restaurant itself is clean with seating and a nice vibe. I wonder if we just didn't order the right things off of the menu and I definitely want to come back to try their shaved ice. read more

Tsujita Artisan Noodle - Vegan Ramen and Silky Ramen - Ramen Near Me - Pasadena, California

We ordered the Deluxe Tsukemen, regular Tsukemen, and the without soup Dandan noodles with level 3 spiciness, along with Karaage and 10 handmade Gyoza. Overall, the restaurant's interior and seating have a very Japanese vibe. The service was excellent, and the food was delicious; especially the Gyoza, which really impressed me. I also want to mention that the bowl for my noodles had a small chip, and I immediately told the staff. The server apologized right away and replaced it with a new bowl. I really appreciate how responsible and attentive they were. That kind of service deserves recognition. Overall, it's a bit pricey, but everything else was great. I would definitely recommend this place. read more

8/20/2025 Went on a Friday for lunch. It was a small restaurant. Spicy Chashu Tsukemen (Regular) - The noodle is very chewy and bouncy. Loved their noodles. It was awhile since I've been here, so I pleased to know that the noodles have stayed the same. It was also a lot of noodles for a small sized bowl! The chashu was thick cut, tender and the fatty skin was gelatinous and chewy. So good! Still dreaming of that chashu! The spicy dipping sauce was good at first, but grew tiresome as I continued to eat. It was such a one note sauce, even though it did have a spicy kick. I squeezed in some lime in it to bring some balance, but it made no difference. If you're hungry, definitely order more than just a noodle dish as my tsukemen was begging for some gyoza or fried chicken. Customer Service It was good. There were two servers. Both took turns to keep the flow of the service. The food did come out a bit later for me, which made me wonder if the server put the order in late or if the food just took a bit longer than others, since most diners ordered ramen. Overall, the restaurant was clean and the bathroom was clean too. It wasn't noisy either. Parking - There's a parking garage right across. It's De Lacey Garage. Best to park there. It's at 45 South De Lacey Avenue, Pasadena, CA 91105. Opened daily, Hours of Operation 24/7. Hourly Rates First 2 Hours ($1) Each Additional Hour ($2) Daily Max ($12) read more

There's loads of structure parking nearby and street parking. This location can get packed with a line building outside. Inside has decent amount of seating for the size. The staff are good and helpful. I got the tonkatsu ramen and it was just okay. The broth could've been richer. The meat cuts were fatty. The wood early mushrooms were okay. I did wish there were more noodles. This location could be worth a chance to try but unfortunately there's other nearby ramen locations that better ramens. read more

Tsujita Artisan Noodle - Tonkotsu Ramen - Ramen Near Me - Pasadena, California

Parking is super convenient--just across the street for $1 for 90 minutes! Tsujita definitely serves up one of the better tsukemens I've had in SoCal. I love the chashu tsukemen, especially the squeeze of lime; it adds a perfect touch of acidity to cut through the richness of the pork broth. The jammy egg is also a win. That said, the broth cooled down a bit too quickly for me, which made it harder to fully enjoy the meal from start to finish. Still, overall it's a solid 8.5/10 in my book. Service was quick and efficient as we were seated and served in no time! read more

Tsujita Artisan Noodle - Chashu Tsukemen - Ramen Near Me - Pasadena, California

Went here to celebrate a friend's birthday and honestly, it was worth the drive! From the appetizers all the way to dessert. I ordered the deluxe tonkatsu ramen, and I loved how the broth wasn't overpowering. It was simple, smooth, and super filling without feeling too heavy. Normally, I'd ask for some garlic with tonkatsu, but this one was perfectly balanced as is. I finished the whole bowl! The chashu was thinly sliced, which made it easy to enjoy without being overwhelming. My friends went for the tsukemen, and I thought it was great that they even included instructions on how to eat it properly it was also really flavorful. We also tried the takoyaki and karaage, and both were freshly made. The karaage especially stood out!! it wasn't your typical version. I'm not sure what sauce it was coated with, but it was delicious. Kinda like soy! But it wasn't! I usually don't like fried, flour-heavy dishes, but I'd order this again in a heartbeat. For dessert, the pudding instantly reminded me of the matcha pudding at Ichiran but honestly, this one was even better. It looked small, but it was rich enough to share. Same with the shaved ice topped with brown sugar and mascarpone cream absolute chef's kiss! The cream and syrup blended perfectly, and it was the sweetest way to end the meal. The regular one was good for 3 pax!! Idky we ordered 2. We were overly full and had food coma in a good way. This really felt authentic! Great service and nice place to chill. read more

We found the time for some Tsujita! I'd heard about their ramen and the Tsukemen that's on the menu. The location is easy to fine since the parking structure is right across the restaurant. We came by on weekend and it wasn't too packed. We were seated right away. Apparently, they are doing a Naruto collaboration until August at all locations. They have merch and limited menu items. We decide to get a salmon bowl and the Large Tsukemen to share. We'd never tried a dip ramen before, but wow it's an appetizing experience. The broth is very rich and savory and the thick noodles pair perfectly. We finished the large no problem! The portion of the large noodle is more than generous. The Tsukemen is a must try if you've never had dip ramen before. As for salmon bowl, it was solid and very fresh. The bowl is presented very nicely. Overall, Tsujita is a great ramen spot that I wish we tried sooner. We'd happily come by again. Thanks Tsujita! read more

Nice ramen place in old town Pasadena. Small but relaxing place. Servers are friendly and helpful. The ramen bowls we got have a nice broth and good ingredients. A little pricy but definitely very tasty. Also got the cha sui bowl which was a good size. The cha sui was tender and good flavor. Definitely get the Yuzu beer! I could down a bunch of those! A nice and refreshing flavor. Not too fruity or sweet. A lighter beer but such good clean and crisp flavor. read more

5 stars for their stellar char siu (roasted pork) and shaved ice. The char siu seriously tastes like the most tender melt-in-your-mouth beef brisket I had in Denver, Colorado. It's that good. Their shaved ice dethroned my favorite Korean snow ice, the black sugar syrup adding a whole new dimension. I don't much care for Japanese ramen as I can make it just as good at home (seriously) but their Tsukemen dipping broth is most delicious. At $25 it's not inexpensive, but the generous thick cuts of char siu justify the high price,...I think. The karaage chicken is good (just not Tenkatori-good), but I wish they still had the chicken wings on the menu. read more

Came here on a Friday night around 8:30pm and the wait wasn't too long! The service was great here. The staff were really friendly! My group got two tonkatsu deluxe ramen w/ soup, and one reg tsukemen, and the deluxe tsukemen. To me the tonkatsu ramen noodle soup were a bit heavy tasting. The broth got a bit overwhelming that I wasn't able to finish my last two bites. The noodles were very al dente. The tsukemens were good, but also got overwhelming. Both were a 3/5 for me personally. And we also got an order of the takoyaki and that one was really good! I am glad I finally got to check this place off my bucket list tho! I would recommend to ramen likers since this spot is a popular spot! read more

Tsujita truly never disappoints. Love that the quality is always consistent across all their location, so I know what to expect. We ordered the deluxe tsukemen and the Tokyo style killer noodles with soup level 3 spicy. Both were amazing. The tsukemen noodles had the perfect amount of bite. The broth was packed with flavor. The killer noodles were heavy and pungent but in the best way possible. The mala wasn't as strong as I expected, which was great and didn't overpower the other flavors. We arrived at 12 on a Saturday and waited quite a while in line, since it's a small restaurant. Didn't get our food until 12:50. But the food was worth the wait read more

The noodles were such a pleasure to eat! The TTT was very fun to eat. I liked that the cheese added a creaminess to the spicy broth. I found this unique. The Miso Tonkotsu was a blend of both clean and junky flavors. I would say, if you had the chance, try out the TTT Ramen. Service was very fast.

First off - try the Yuzu beer. Seriously, it's so good (and I'm not a big beer drinker). The tonkatsu ramen had excellent broth and adding a little of their spicy radish(?) that's on the table made it just right. For a bigger kick, the spicy tonkatsu delivers very well and differently. I'm glad I tried both. Also got a char sui bowl appetizer (complete with egg) and the meat was tender and tasty. Service is friendly and fast - both in serving food and clearing tables. It's not a huge place, but it doesn't feel crowded, and the decor is hip. Now I need to come back and try the killer noodles that they're known for. read more

When the sun goes away, the wild children of the night come out and play. What people probably don't realize nowadays is that this place turns into a speakeasy Thursday through Saturday, 9pm to 1am. The night lights turn on to illuminate the space. They play various energetic Japanese music in the background. The space isn't enormous, but they can still accommodate for large groups. Their drinks currently start at $12, and their food is pretty awesome for a speakeasy. My favorite so far are the Yuzu beer and charsiu tacos. Here's the most important step to even show up and enter: Someone will ask you for the secret password or phrase. The only way you can find out is to DM their after-dark IG page. It's NOT their main business account, but there's a link on that profile that leads to the correct IG page to message. Without this answer, the place is closed to you, unfortunately. So if you don't want to delay, message them for the code prior to entering. Parking: There is a structure directly across the street. As with others in Pasadena, $1 for first 2 hours, $2 per hour afterwards, $12 max. Otherwise, there are metered street spots that may be free after 8pm. This is a fairly new feature and concept for them, so I would highly recommend it, especially since drinks aren't nearly as expensive at other places in the area. read more

Tsujita Artisan Noodle - Charsiu tacos - Ramen Near Me - Pasadena, California

Charming Ramen place located in old town. This place does not take reservations. So First come first serve! I enjoy the ramen and the inviting atmosphere there. Inside decor is clean, bright and cozy. -The tonkotsu broth is amazing. So yummy. Get the deluxe version as their chashu is outstanding. Not too meaty or fatty. - The tsukemen is also fun to have. It is cold noodles and warm broth served in separate bowls. The noodles are thicker and chewy. Note that the spicy taukemen dipping sauce is no joke- rich and spicy 10/10. - The vegan ramen has dried tomatoes, green onion and big ball of finely minced onion. I am disappointed though that the Vegan ramen is oily with no vegetables other than what is stated. Service is quick, attentive and friendly. Street parking or covered structure parking near by. School house parking is a good choice. First two hours $1 and each additional hour $2. read more

This was my first time here and first time having Tsukemen (Dipping Ramen). The server was very friendly and took the time to explain the menu and how everything worked which was great! Everything was delicious and I definitely recommend getting the *Deluxe* so that you get all the flavor components. The dipping sauce was lukewarm... then adding the cold noodles made it colder and colder with each bite. Definitely would have preferred a much hotter dipping sauce knowing that it cools down quick after every dip. read more

Tsujita Artisan Noodle - Tsukemen Deluxe - Ramen Near Me - Pasadena, California

My girlfriend and I wanted to try this place after a spa day. It's conveniently located next to roots and rye. I was so excited to try the tsukemen because I've never had it before. I think that's how you spell it. Anyway, the server was really nice, he might've been the owner, I'm not sure. But I got the regular pork dipping sauce with the noodles and I loved it so much. Just letting you know, the dipping sauce is thicker than if you got regular ramen soup. The food and service was really good, my friend ordered the shaved ice kind of dessert and OMG it's so good it's going to blow your mind, you won't regret getting it. Highly recommend this place, keep up the good work! read more

Situated just off of Colorado St in Old Towne Pasadena, Tsujita offers tasty rice and ramen bowls. Staff was accommodating and had quick service. The Tonkotsu Ramen ($15.95) had a rich creamy broth with tender and flavorful chasu. To note, the serving size was on the smaller end and only the deluxe version ($23.95) comes with an egg which is a bit of a steeper price compared to nearby competitors. Overall, very tasty but on the pricer end for Tonkotsu! read more

We ordered the tsukemen and killer noodle (spice level 5) to share. We were sat right away though we did come around 9 pm. Portions were generous, and the food was flavorful! We both enjoyed the killer noodle best. Spice level 5 was just about right. Server did a good job of describing that, if we can handle sriracha, then 5 is good. I think level 6 would be a bit much for me. Tip: If you need to use the bathroom, don't forget to bring the key in with you to the stall. They did have a sign, but I didn't fully get it until people opened the door on me twice when I had locked it. Then I realized they can get in because I didn't take the key. Lesson learned for next time! read more

Tsujita has to probably my favorite discovery of 2025. The dipping noodles are SO delicious and hit every flavor profile and texture you can think of. It's savory, spicy and a small hint of sweetness shines through. The noodles are perfectly chewy and honestly so thick and delicious. Its for sure an experience and I suggest to avoid wearing white. The slurpin gets everywhere (or maybe i am just messy??) Service is friendly and QUICK. The menu is kind of small which is perfect because thats when you know that whatever they make is made to perfection every single time. Parking is easy, plenty of lots around and plenty of street parking. This location is much less crowded than their sister site in sawtelle. It also has way more seating. 10/10 honestly. read more

We were looking for ramen around the area and we found Tsujita! We tried Tsujita at various locations, but this was our first time at this one. This location is fairly new so the interior is quite modern and sleek. It's a small restaurant but doesn't seem to be too popular around here, which is great for wait time. They are doing a Naruto collaboration at the moment, and I thought it was really cool to have each Tsujita location represent a different "village". This one in particular is the sand village. We didn't order anything from the Naruto collaboration, but we just wanted something classic and original haha. I got to try the spicy deluxe tsukemen and we also ordered the ramen and another version of the tsukemen. We even got a karaage to share. Service was great and efficient that it really didn't take too long to receive our meal. We got the karaage first, which the chicken pieces were quite huge! They didn't come with a lot, but the pieces itself were pretty big. Even eating one or two of them really gets you close to full lol. Then trying the main tsukemen, the chashu was really flavorful and melts in your mouth! The noodles were also a nice chewy consistency, which you can tell they are very well made. Although, since I got this one spicy, it was actually EXTREMELY spicy. There were no warnings how spicy it can be, but if I were to give it a level, this is considered 5/5 LOL. The lips and tongue were burning, and we were all suffering from the spicy lol. The tsukemen is good, but gosh, it was sooooo spicy to eat. I couldn't even finish it so I brought it back home as leftovers. Even eating it as leftovers, I could feel my insides burning lol. SOOO SPICY. Otherwise, the meal itself was pretty good, but the spicy mess makes it hard to enjoy it lol. There's a convenient parking structure right across Tsujita. Great location, service, and food... I wish they had a level adjustment to the spicy lol, but I would not get the spicy again LOL. read more

Tsujita's quality has consistently been good every location I go. They are currently doing a fun collab on Naruto where you can collect stamps at every location and if you fill it all, you get a free food item. They have several branches and sister branches such as Tsujita Annex and Killer Noodle. This location has easy parking and it's cheap too. Service is quick and friendly. My favorite way to order is to get the tonkotsu broth with the tsukemen noodles. They offer ginger and a spicy sauce on the side but its different than the spice they use for the spicy tonkotsu. The broth is always deep and rich. My preference is tonkotsu since they use pork and chicken broth whereas the tsukemen has a more seafood after flavor. The tsukemen noodles are thicker and bouncier which is the way I prefer my noodles. Highly recommend! read more

They make so good ramen noodles! I'm glad they opened closer to home. The noodles were al dente, and the broth was umami! I tried the dry ramen, chasu tsukemen, and they taste like the ones in Tokyo! Parking is available just across the street for $1 for the first 90 minutes. read more

Killer Noodle is back in SGV and I'm here for it! We finally got to check out the new Pasadena location on a Sunday afternoon and as a party of 2, were seated right away (but I will say parties of 3+ had longer wait times). We ordered and got our waters pretty quickly but with all tables full, the food came out pretty slowly. 25 minutes for the appetizer and 50 minutes for the bowl of ramen. Both items were delivered right when they were done though, so they tasted very good and came out hot. Appetizer: Karaage - chicken was super juicy and I like the glaze they toss it in. The homemade tartar chef is so tasty - like a deviled eggs made into a sauce. I like the little chunks of egg in it too. Lemon on top for that citrusy touch was perfection. Killer Noodle ramen with soup - 6 Spicy, 3 Numbness - it was a good spice level for us. The noodles are always consistent with a good bounce. The only thins is the 'soup' was pretty thick and not much of it where it seemed like the soupless version - I wish there was more! The toppings like the peanuts go really well in this dish. I also like adding the table ginger to each bite to cut out the spice a little bit and add some freshness. The truffle ramen may be next on my list to try! read more

One of the newer additions to the Pasadena ramen scene and I'm glad they're here. During our recent visit, we ordered the tsukemen, deluxe ramen, gyoza, a kids ramen, and the kakigori. The gyoza was crispy, meaty and savory. What's not to like? I had the deluxe ramen and it had everything plus more. The broth was rich and flavorful, with a lot of depth. The noodles were chewy, the perfect texture for me. The slices of chashu and the egg were *chef's kiss*, amazing. The kakigori was good but the raspberry topping was a bit strong and to the extent you can ask it to be on the side so you can pour it yourself, you should ask to do so. Service was very friendly and the food came out relatively quick. The interior is clean, modern, and welcoming. Parking in Old Pasadena can sometimes be a challenge so plan ahead! read more

This location is my favorite! Their appetizers are the best - the kaarage is crispy and juicy and the gyoza are nice & plump too. We always get the deluxe Tsukemen and it does not disappoint.

She was very attentive and made sure everything was in order for us :) Will definitely be back! read more

My boyfriend and I came here on a Saturday afternoon to give this new ramen spot a try in the heart of Pasadena. Parking was quite difficult since you can either park at a parking structure or find parking on the street. Thankfully, we were able to find parking on street a few blocks away. Where do I begin? We first checked in for a table, the table that was offered to us was not very accommodating. The seats were practically foldable chairs. So we opted for a booth table & told the server we didn't mind waiting. She told us to wait outside. Upon sitting down at our table, we ordered appetizers to start which came out fairly quick, however the entrees themselves took 15-20 minutes to come out which was a very big time gap. We also noticed that the portion was small for the price that you are paying which is $15-$24 a bowl. The chicken karaage was the star of the show though! I give this rating 7/10. I probably won't come back, will probably go to their other location except this one. read more

I always wanted to show my partner tsukemen as he loves ramen, and was thrilled to here it opened in Pasadena! We came here on a weekday night for dinner and although there was a line outside, it went by fast and we were seated. The establishment felt cozy and our servers were very nice, and had no problem answering our questions. FOOD: -spicy deluxe tsukemen (we got the regular size and it was more than enough! the chashu was one of the best chashu i've had, and the ramen eggs were phenomenal! we both loved the rich broth and loved this new style of eating ramen through dipping) -kaarage (we never had kaarage in such a delicious sauce, and the tartar sauce was so amazing!) DRINKS: -tsujita milk tea and lemon milk tea (they offered us a free refill on the house, and loved both drinks!!) This place is definitely more on the pricier side for japanese food, but it is all worth it, I promise! We loved every item and if you love ramen and want to try a fun dipping-style of it with flavorful, thick broth, I highly recommend you come here! read more

My husband and I recently returned from Japan and were craving some quality ramen. It was our first time at Tsujita Artisan Noodle and loved that we didn't have to wait to be seated. We asked our waiter for recommendations. He was super friendly and pointed us toward their most popular dishes the Deluxe Tsukemen, Spicy Deluxe Tonkotsu, and the handmade gyoza. We took his advice and ordered one of each. I had the Chashu Tsukemen (dipping noodles), and my husband went with the Deluxe Tonkotsu. The gyoza were delicious crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and surprisingly large. Definitely a standout and worth ordering. Definitely recommend those! As for the ramen, it wasn't bad, but something felt a little off to us. The broth was thick and rich, but lacked the layered depth we'd grown used to in Japan. The noodles were firm and fresh, but the overall flavor just didn't quite match what we were hoping for. The service was great and the atmosphere was lively, which we appreciated. We can see why it's a go-to for many, but for us, it didn't quite live up to the hype maybe just a tough act to follow after experiencing ramen in Japan firsthand. read more

I know there's a few locations and this is the first one that I decided to try. Definitely wasn't a good idea. I got the deluxe Tsukemen and it was terrible. It said generous portion and they did give a lot of chashu.... but it wasn't good at all. Quality over quantity imo. Idk if the chef tasted it before serving it but it was extremely salty. Salty to the point where I know if I ate it all, I'd be drinking a gallon of water every hour. So I ended up not even eating the chashu. The dipping broth was mehhh. Not my cup of tea. The deluxe tonkotsu was okay but the portion was extremely small. If you're someone who can eat, you should order two portions. Anyways, I gave 2 stars bc the waiter was nice and attentive to us. I told her it was salty and she said it's suppose to be like that. If it's suppose to taste like that, I'm hesitant to try the other locations. No ty. Lol read more

I'm a big fan of Tsujita and this location does not fail to live up to the name! Parking is easier here than Sawtelle location (structure across the street is just $1 an hour for first 2 hours). Tsukemen was delicious as always, and service by Jenna and Arnold were exceptional! They serve cocktails here, and I had to give it a try. Got the Shiratsuyu and it was bright and citrusy, the perfect refresher for a thick, heavy bowl of tsukemen broth. Really like how clean and spacious this location - might be the new go to spot instead of their LA counterparts. read more

Stopped by Tsujita after hearing about their tsukemen for what feels like forever, and it absolutely lived up to the hype. I went with the Deluxe Tsukemen, and the depth of flavor in the dipping broth was something else, rich, savory, with that umami punch that sticks with you in the best way. The noodles were firm and chewy, clearly fresh and thoughtfully made. Each bite with the tender chashu and perfectly cooked egg just worked. I also tried the matcha latte with pistachio foam (wasn't expecting that at a ramen spot, but I'm glad I went for it). It was surprisingly good. The matcha wasn't bitter, and the pistachio foam added this subtle nutty sweetness that paired nicely after a salty meal. Service was smooth and attentive without being overbearing. Even with the lunch crowd, the staff was organized and had everything moving quickly. The space itself is tight but has a cozy, bustling energy. You can hear the kitchen, smell the broth, and it all just adds to the experience. Definitely a go-to spot for ramen lovers, especially if you're in the mood for tsukemen done right. read more

A little expensive for the portions that you are getting but the overall quality is pretty good. I really liked the salmon bowl, the salmon was soft and the salty ikura really balanced out with the rice. It was kind of sad to see that there was only one server for the whole restaurant, it took him a while to get the food out, the tables cleaned, and people seated. From what I saw, there was only one person in the kitchen too and it was a Saturday morning so I felt pretty bad for them. Good vibes, good food, and good walkable dessert spots nearby too! read more

Tsujita Artisan Noodle - Salmon bowl and tsukumen - Ramen Near Me - Pasadena, California

Food: We ordered the Deluxe Tonkatsu, Tonkatsu, Kid Ramen, side of bamboo (menma), & karaage We liked everything! The soups were yummy. I thought the Deluxe's tasted a bit more creamy than the regular tonkatsu. The hubby thought the Deluxe was a bit salty (I didn't think so). I think they're the same soup but whatever we added a bit to the bowl might've adjusted the taste a bit. Regardless, all yummy. The noodle was good. If compared to Shin Sen Gumi ramen, I'd put it at normal level. Our little one liked the soup a lot & the noodle too. He didn't care for the egg so I ate it, liked it. Pork chashu here is cut very thin, still tasty though. Personally, I prefer it this way. I'm not much of a meat eater. The menma was good, not salty or too pungent as bamboo could be sometime. They have spicy bamboo & ginger on the table. I added both. I liked the spicy bamboo. It was a good alternative to spicy miso that I usually order and add to the ramen. Karaage was great. One of the best I've had so far. I like the portion, not overwhelming, a true appetizer size. It was also tasty and crispy in pretty much the perfect way to me. I'm usually neutral about karaage. Service was cool. We got whatever we asked for promptly. Our server was nice and the kitchen staff seemed friendly (bias here because they waved back to my little guy & thought he was very cute). One thing, if you have kids it's likely not the best place, especially if you need space for a stroller or car seat carrier. We came here with our 2 little ones, one was in a carrier, the table in the booth was movable but one of us was squished in with barely any space to move our arms while we eat. read more
