My family and I visited Hakata Ikkousha Tonkotsu Ramen in Little Tokyo L.A., & as avid foodies from Oregon, we were excited to try a new spot in the city. From the moment we walked in, the staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful, guiding us through the menu and making recommendations since it was our first visit.

The food exceeded our expectations. The ramen was rich and flavorful, perfectly cooked. The broth had a deep, savory taste that made each bite incredibly satisfying. We also tried a few appetizers, which were equally impressive.

Overall, the dining experience was fantastic, earning a solid 10/10 from us. We can’t wait to return and explore more items on the menu. If you’re in Little Tokyo, we highly recommend stopping by.

A coworker recommended this place for the Fried Chicken, but everything here is great!

Easily one of the best Ramen spots in Little Tokyo. We got in at 5:30, wrote down our orders, and were served quickly. I had the Black Devil ramen, very rich, spicy and flavorful. We went premium for toppings and it is the perfect amount. The atmosphere is pretty comfortable but fast paced, however we did not feel rushed. Can't wait to come back here and try more!

I think this place is overrated for it's ramen. I got the "#1 best seller" tonkatsu ramen with everything. I was very disappointed. First, my egg was over cooked and wasn't presented like all the eggs seen in other photos. Second, the overall flavor of the ramen wasn't as expected, it was dull and lackluster. Third, the noodles felt cheap given that it costs an extra $2 to upgrade to premium noodles. I've had much better ramen at other places and don't recommend this place. Service wise, there's a form to fill out when placing an order which is convenient but overall service is lacking. I also tried the karage and it was good, but I expected better from this ramen house that supposedly serves authentic, premium ramen.

Extremely disappointed!!!  Gyoza were absolute grease-balls!  Tasted like greasy hamburgers. Gross! Worst gyoza I’ve ever had.  Tonkatsu ramen flavorless. Ugh.  And the waitress ignored our topping selection and simply added everything.  So disappointed!

A nice place to get some ramen in little Tokyo, famous for its spicy noodles.

The ordering system is kinda cool, since it allows you to choose the hardness of the noodles, spiciness of the soup and extra ingredients. The service is very efficient.

The ramen was tasty (we chose a manageable level 2 of spiciness) but the noodles had a kind of instant ramen quality and therefore took zero soup in. The gyozas were just ok.

The atmosphere was ok, but you kinda got the feeling they were trying to get you out as soon as possible to put others customers in (like rushed to finish your drink). Overall is a recommendable place, not expensive at all.
