Love this place.. Been going here and the ramen is tasty.. Definitely recommend the spicy Karage as well

love eating here. best ramen i've had in LA. always a pleasure coming back here. customer service is always spot on and get amazing service.

We got the God fire, Tonkotsu, and fried rice. The God fire (8/10) had a good kick to it and the tonkotsu (9/10) had rich flavor. The way you order is through filling out on paper and choosing your choice of ramen, noodle texture, etc. I love how customizable it is. The fried rice (5/10) was just average wouldn't get it again.

Went for the 50% off Ramen 9th anniversary. Felt great to have our favorite ramen at the celebration price. God Fire was spicy and flavorful, Tonkotsu was nice and creamy. Followed another review recommendation to dip chahan into the tonkotsu broth, tastes great. Ordered 10 pc gyoza and some Sapporo for a nice touch. Service was friendly. Line was long as expected but the ramen was nice and hot by the time you were seated.

This place continues to be one of my all-time favorite ramen spots in Torrance. I used to come here regularly when I worked nearby, but after over 6 years of working remotely, I hadn't been back--until now. I'm thrilled to say it's just as incredible as I remembered! The ramen noodles are cooked to perfection, and the umami-rich broth is nothing short of divine. This time, I brought my husband and kids, and they were equally impressed. My 3-year-old, who is notoriously picky, shocked us all by devouring nearly an entire bowl of ramen--a huge victory for any parent of a toddler! The ordering process is authentic and straightforward, just like in Japan--you mark your preferences on a sheet, ensuring your bowl is exactly how you like it. The service was quick and attentive, with the staff going out of their way to bring extra napkins and water for our 3- and 1-year-olds. We also loved how the ambiance transported us, making us feel as though we were enjoying ramen in Japan itself. We'll definitely be making the trek to this side of Torrance again for another taste. Highly recommended!

Service was great. Food came out fast but I didn't really get the hype about this place. The ramen was good but not great. The menu wasn't easy to understand so we didn't order what we wanted which was definitely disappointing. The spicy fried chicken was absolutely delicious though. I would definitely come back for that. My biggest issue was the menu. I thought the bowls were build it yourself because they have you select soup base and toppings, etc but when the food came out we realized all the bowls had different noodles and toppings regardless of what we ordered. I personally wanted only veggies & an egg on my ramen so that's what I ordered. However it came with pork in it because I'm assuming the soup base had it? I also didn't order corn but that was in it. Flavor was okay. They give you options for how flavorful you'd like it and how firm the noodles are which I liked. But I ordered the level 3 out of 4 spicy in the spicy base and asked for extra chili paste because I didn't think it was spicy.

Hakata Ikkousha always has a bit of a wait on the weekend for a reason - it's really good! The ramen dishes are entirely customizable, yet somehow comes out consistently each time, whether you're visiting the location in Torrance, Costa Mesa, or Little Tokyo. The quality control is high here. I always get the Godfire Ramen, level 4, light taste, soft or normal noodles, and it comes out perfectly each time. This is one of the best ramen I've ever had. Spice and flavor are amazing. Highly recommended.

One of my favorite ramen restaurants in LA! Authentic Japanese ramen full of rich flavor, paired with delicious toppings. This restaurant can get busy, so best to join the waitlist on your way to the restaurant. It is an authentic dining experience with tables or bar seating. My go to appetizer is the karage which is crispy and juicy. The black devil ramen is my favorite, which is a perfect blend of a rich garlic broth and spicy tonkatsu broth. Such a great pair for a broth. The thin sliced chasu drapes over the bowl, and the pairing of fresh bean sprouts added a cool and crunch texture to the hot and rich broth. The ramen is so good here, I get extra noodles on the side. I like the noodles cooked hard, and I add chili oil and chili flakes to the broth for more kick. Fantastic restaurant serving some of the best ramen in the South Bay of LA!

We came here to try the Flaming Devil, and it certainly lives up to its name! It was the spiciest ramen I've ever had. The broth was thick with spice and every bite was coated in the broth, so there was no escape haha. I thought the meat chunks were fine. Some pieces were chewier or tougher than others, so I prefer their thinner cuts of meat since they're usually softer. The noodles were slightly curly and bouncier than their usual thin noodles. The service was great. The servers regularly checked in on us and the ramen chef asked us how the meal was. If you're curious in trying it, make sure to go before it's gone by the end of May!

Hakata Ikkousha is always so consistent. The Tonkotsu Pork broth is very rich indeed. The ramen is one of the best here. The Pork chashu is tasty and perfectly cooked. The noodles is how I love, firm. The staff are always on point.
