I'm sitting at a 4.5 so I'll round up. My only complaint is that this place isn't really authentic ramen... it's definitely a fusion. I got the spicy tonkatsu and their #1 at a 3/4. A level 3-4 is HOT and their number one reminded me a lot of taiwanese spicy beef soup. I enjoyed the noodle texture as well and the broth wasn't overly salty. My only thing is that the tables were REALLY sticky and dirty still. You order at the front and they bring it
Jigoku ramen used to be very spicy but last three times when I had it, it wasn't that spicy anymore even when I ordered level 5
The cold front blew in, and with the temperature drop, it's the perfect weather for ramen and soup. We thought to try @yokairamensa out for dinner. Everyone else had the same idea, so it was pretty busy. Dad had the Taro Milk Tea, I had the Butterfly Purple, and my husband had the Mango Sweet Tea with Lychee jelly. We all enjoyed our drinks. We shared the Fried Shrimp with the sweet chili sauce. Dad and I shared the Tonkotsu Ramen with extra noodles. Even with sharing, we couldn't finish it all. My husband had the spicy version. Great flavor in the broth without being salty. The pork was tender! Many stopped by for to-go orders. They're at Thousand Oaks and Jones Maltsberger. Check them out!
I really enjoyed eating here. The ramen was really good. The broth was very flavorful, more than just the tonkatsu flavor the broth had base to it. It was really good, definitely sets itself apart from other ramen spots. The ingredients used were also very delicious, I could tell the freshness and all together the chef did a really good job. The place itself is really cute, fun in fact. The decor is animated and the seating arrangement fits the cute shop very well. Last but not least the service and staff were very friendly and respectful. I'll definitely be coming back.
So yummy! Delicious warm bowl for the chilly week of San Antonio. The dining experience was unique and just fun. You order and then they push your order through these doors and the decor is very anime style, pops of color. My boyfriend got the yakisoba and he devoured it and I got the ramen. I'm not keen on some veggie ramens because I don't like some of the vegetables so places add but this was great and adding the fried tofu was that perfect bit of protein.
Not a bad little ramen joint. If you live in the Thousand Oaks Shopping Center area, there are plenty of little stores that keep the community happy - Yokai.is one of them. On those rare wet chilly days when you yearn for hot savory soup to warm your bones, Yokai provides you with great tasting ramen. It's a small palce on the corner, with ample parking on the side. You enter, are greeted and seat yourself. You order at the table and receive your order at the pickup window. I had the spicy tonkatsu at (spice level 3-4, where 5 is the max), and was left both pleased with the product. The noodles were prepared well, not sticky or soggy. The dish came with a nice size slab of grilled pork, and plenty of corn, mushroom, and green onions. The broth was flavored sufficiently I also tried the octopus balls. These were deep fried crab filled balls with one or two pieces of octopus tentacles in them. They weren't bad and the preparation and presentation of this dish was well done. What could be better is adding more octopus, the crab filler and sauce ended up dominating the taste of this appetizer - when I was expecting more cowbell, err octopus The service was fantastic. We placed our order and maybe five minutes later the food was ready. The ambience was great - like a Japanese anime motif with J-Pop playing in the background. The Thousand Oaks area is lucky to have this little ramen shop as part of their diverse food selection.
Loved the vibes here. If you have ever seen midnight dinner on Netflix it feels slightly similar but In a ramen shop style. I liked that they put food out through the counter from the kitchen. The ramen is good and well priced. I like how it is not too too rich so that I don't feel stuffed. It's a great everyday ramen.
Good place to eat for ramen highly recommend.The environment is welcoming and service is great.
First visit. We ordered at the register and a few minutes later, a window opened and out popped our food -- like a prize. The broth here is so delicious! The noodles are on the al dente side and the chashu is firm too. Next time I visit, I'll get extra egg and skip the meat. My husband got the ramen without scallions, so the broth had a nuttier flavor. I prefer it with scallions though!
This is a hidden gem! 2nd time my wife and I tried this place and the food does not disappoint and you definitely get you money's worth. Service is prompt and this is a place where you give your order and they will open up a window and hand your order, more like a traditional Japanese ramen spot. Ambience is decent and small. The food is delicious: my wife got the Hakata Chicken Ramen and I got the Shoju Chicken Ramen along with Karaage chicken and Chicken Gyoza. This will be our ramen goto spot when we need have ramen cravings and need to go to one closeby.
10/10 would recommend. The service was kind and the food came out very fast. The food was delicious i really loved the japanese egg rolls we sat at the booths which was really cool felt like the real japanese restaurants, they we're playing anime theme songs which made the place even better
One of my favorite ramen places in San Antonio to come to. Their tonkatsu ramen has soooo much creamy flavor. The service is super quick and fast! The seating can get a little tricky when there Super busy as there's not a lot of tables but people eat fairly quickly so they open up fast. It's not super loud in there either but a great place to come for a friend hang out or a date. read more

Really cute restaurant, order at the counter, they'll call your name/number and you're left alone! Whenever you're cleaning up you just place your trays by the door window and boom! The food was good, simple. Had to add shoyu and chili oil but that was available on the side. read more

This restaurant is in a strip mall but don't let out side fool you. When walking in, it has a very Japanese family owned feel to it. Your greeted the minute you walk in, place your order at register and prepay just like in Japan. I ordered the C2 Tonkotsu Ramen andB6 Karaage Chicken It took right back to living in Japan. The soup broth is authentic and pork is cooked tender. The Karaage was served boneless and crispy easy for dipping in soup. Delicious!!! This just became my go to for Japanese Ramen. read more
Yes sis. I'm not even a super huge ramen fan but this sh*t was good. Looks great in the photos and tastes just as good. There are two kinds of ramen there, the pork base and the miso base. Pork base is creamy (as pictured) and the miso base is clear. The pork belly is tender, literally falls apart with the chopsticks. The egg was a little over but everything was great. It's the soft opening so we got the eggrolls for free. Service was cool, they slide your tray out through window openings connected to the kitchen. Overall good vibe. If you are a ramen lover (and even if you're not) I recommend giving this place a try. read more

Nice yummy spot to go to. Small in the inside and it's pretty much order and find a seat. The food comes through a window which is cool, but don't expect a wait staff etc. very New York style spot--order, eat, and go! Not suggested for large parties. Servings are big so order and share! Tips: appetizers come out with the meal, so don't order too many! read more

Do you allow dogs?
Restaurant is very small so bringing in a dog isn't a good idea, there's no space to put them safely.
