Tight indoor dinning but they did setup 3 tables for outdoor dinning. Plenty of food with the ramen and rice bowl combo.

I was craving ramen, this spot popped up and I was fully satisfied. I ordered their Daikoku ramen with black garlic oil. The noodles were great along with the broth. Overall as a ramen it was delicious and the quality was up there. The fried squid was also delicious when paired with their sauces. I’d definitely come back here again to try their other menu items.

Been coming here for over a decade then started going to Korean restaurants instead . Coming back here brings back so many memories but more importantly, happy to say that it was just as good! It did not deteriorate… although situated in a small mall , once you stepped inside, it mades me feel like I am back in Japan because in Japan, many of the restaurants are this tiny.. the chau siu pork rice bowl is phenomenal! Japanese fried rice is different than the Chinese but it is just as delicious but with more of a Japanese flavor and of course, the ramen is amazing!!!!

Lots of flavor. The spicy miso ramen definitely had some kick! The fried rice was good but was a little mushy. The gyoza was not bad. Had a Sapporo draft. It was served in a brass metal type cup. Would have preferred a good old fashion frosted mug.

My first time here after hearing so many good things from my husband since he grew up eating at this place. We got the combo which was the noodles, rice with beef and a salad. I got their house special noodles which is the daikokuya noodles. Overall K thought it was ok. The noodles were a bit starchy. But the broth was creamy just enough, although I felt like there wasn’t enough char shiu meat in my noodles, just very little and thinly sliced. We also got CA rolls and they were very good. I’ll try other dishes next time.

12/23/2025 Daikokuya 111 N Atlantic Blvd Ste 241 Monterey Park, CA 91754 We went there for dinner about 5:30 on a Wednesday. It's in a retail complex at the corner of Atlantic and Garvey with entrances to the ample parking lot surrounding the building from both. There was a 20 minute wait list when we got there and got longer as we waited to be called in. The cozy interior consists of a small counter and 5 small tables. After being tabled, my sister ordered the house Tsukemen, Wifey ordered the spicy house Ramen and I had the Katsu Curry bowl. Our food was brought to us shortly. My order also included Miso soup and Slaw, which were pretty standard. My Curry consisted of a large quantity of rice with Curry sauce, pickles and the Katsu which was disappointing. Although the Curry was flavorful with nice spice the thick Katsu slices were dry and chewy with gristle. This was not your standard pounded tenderloin but some kind of chop that was sliced. The gals thought their noodles were great but my Katsu was not good. Service was good. I'd go back for the Ramen but avoid the Katsu Curry bowl.

Verdict: Nothing special. The bad: They served Tsukemen with regular, unconcentrated, ramen broth. Do not order this unless you want a tonkotsu ramen deconstructed and want to pay extra for that. 0 stars... The good: Chicken Karage Bowl was juicy and flavorful, + 2 star...

I order two combinations for 3 people. Each combo included their signature ramen, a salad, and a side dish. Our picks were the chicken egg bowl and the pork cutlet bowl. The salad was pretty good. However, the ramen was a bit of a letdown. The two bowls we received were inconsistent. In my case, my bowl was piping hot, but the noodles had an odd floury texture. My girlfriend's bowl was lukewarm, and her noodles were chewier than mine. The ajitama, a seasoned egg, didn't quite hit the mark either. While the bowls were a step above the ramen, the sauce they used was a bit too sweet. We waited for approximately half an hour before getting a table. The indoor seating options were limited, but luckily, there's outdoor seating available as well. On the bright side, parking seems to be quite ample.

Very average ramen place and no idea why so many people come. This is from someone who has dined at many ramen places in Japan, Asia and here. Broth and noodle taste decent but nothin special. Two pieces of pork are tiny. Eggs are not the high quality half boiled kind as they are fully cooked inside. Place is tiny. Only one row of counter seating and then a few tables. The kitchen and storage area are way bigger. Service is very bad. Was there at 5:15pm on Fri and already a line. The 2 servers either have no or simply forced smiles. You get the feelings that they are already exhausted and don’t want to be there. We were in a hurry and I saw two counter seats and another empty table with 2 seats available for my party of two. After a while I just had to ask and the attitude and response was like “I am just going to take my time and you just have to wait.” The restaurant’s bathroom is old and doesn’t feel clean either. This mall is so dead and dirty. Crazy that the whole side by the shops are all disabled parking spots, wasting so much parking spaces. Overall would not recommend and won’t come back again. There is got to be way better ramen places than this in SGV, let alone LA.

I’m not sure how they wash their dishes, but when they brought mine out, it had a strong, fishy odor that made it unusable. Then, my takoyaki arrived—two pieces were burnt, had a strange smell, and were super oily, although the inside was well-seasoned. Next was the roll. The rice was mushy and not rolled tightly, so it fell apart as soon as I picked it up. The only redeeming part was the side of ginger, which was really good. When my ramen arrived, I was surprised to see instant noodles in the broth instead of the traditional round noodles. The broth was also way too salty. To top it off, the next day, I had an upset stomach and had to take medication. 🫤 I definitely won’t be coming back.

Absolutely horrible customer service. We waited about 10–15 minutes just to ask if there was a wait for a table and to put our name on the list. The two girls working looked directly at us multiple times and did not acknowledge us at all, not even a simple “we’ll be right with you.” The place wasn’t busy, and they were standing in the corner looking at us, yet no one came over to assist. It felt very unwelcoming and uncomfortable. Overall, because of that experience, we’ll definitely choose to go somewhere else next time, somewhere that at least acknowledges their customers.

I don't usually put any review on any store that I eat but this is an exception. I ordered a delivery order and it take 35-45 minutes to be delivered, which I got a head up before so no complain about it. The thing is this is the worst ramen I've ever had. You get 2 slices of meat and 1 egg , some bamboo shoots and... beensprout? Idk if anyone love beansprouts in their ramen but my experience is not so well. The soup was salty and VERY bitter idk if it is designed like that. Everything else is meh, not bad but will not try a 2nd time.
