Nice small Japanese ramen shop. The ramen was good. My wife loved the broth. The kids loved the curry as well. The only thing I didn’t like was the friend chicken bowl was on the salty side but over all it was a good place and would come back again.

Had amazing Chicken Katsu Curry there. One of the best I had. The Tako-yaki was really good too. The Location might not leave a good first impression, but the food is well worth it.

Very humble place but their food is not! I went the second time after remembering the great experience and it did not disappoint We got Isa Ramen and Large Curry with Chicken (or something like that). Their curry is a must-try! (Oh and mind that the plates are big!) Thank you so much Isa, will come again!

This is a fantastic example of “never judge a book by its cover” as this seemingly run-down unit in the parking lot of a car wash looks like it should be a place you avoid at all costs, but you’ll be making a huge mistake if you did that. The ramen here is exceptional – I would say the best I’ve had in LA and it gets up there with some of the best ramen I’ve had in Japan too! This is a simple restaurant but with a pretty extensive menu, where everything is packed full of flavor. The prices are incredibly good value too, and the service is quick and friendly. This is the epitome of a hidden gem and I couldn’t recommend it any higher!

It was bad. I mean I know prices are high on stuff. But not even 5 pieces of chicken w the curry it came cold. My friend went to grab it and ordered it there and it was cold 10 min later when he arrived his ramen was stuck together and over cooked he paid extra for chicken in his ramen, not one bite. Last off the shrimp roll was tiny. There is a first and a last time for everything.

Decided to check this place out after a long day and most places were starting to close. Thankfully this place was opened along La Brea around 11 pm! They have street parking and a shared parking lot with a few spots.

Small Japanese restaurant on La brea. Open late with a great combo menu. The place is humble but the food is 5 stars and very affordable. Great ramen full of flavor. Great option for after hours grub and sober up eats!.

Teriyaki was terrible. Should take it off the menu. Waste of money. Couldn’t even finish it. Lots of chunks of grizzle and fat. Had to spit out half of what I put in my mouth. Asked for spicy, but didn’t get a lick of anything remotely spicy. Added my own Sriracha in order to get the food down without vomiting. This is coming from one of the least picky people you could ever meet. Seriously, I’d eat dirt if it was seasoned right; and would prefer dirt over this pile of sh**.

They made a custom dish for us that wasn’t on the menu which was super cool. Plus everything we had was very good and authentic.
