Josui Ramen

Possibly the best ramen spot in Gardena. I had a hard time choosing between the Tantanmen and the Seafood Tsukemen, but went with the Tantanmen this time. It was rich, flavorful, and well-balanced, with just the right amount of spice and plenty of crunchy bean sprouts. I’ll definitely be coming back for the Tsukemen this summer. One of my companions ordered the signature Jousui Ramen, and the other had the Shoyu with Garlic Oil Ramen. They usually avoid tonkotsu, but found this version light and easy to enjoy. We all added combos (+$4.25 for salad and karaage), shared a plate of fried calamari, and ordered two small Sapporo drafts—because ramen just isn’t complete without a cold beer. Prices: • Jousui Ramen: $12.80 • Shoyu + Garlic Oil: $12.95 • Tantanmen: $15.00 • Combo add-on: $4.25 Total came out to around $80 for three people. One of my companions, who didn’t even eat ramen when we were in Japan, said we absolutely have to come back. And don’t skip the calamari—it’s crispy, tender, and definitely worth it.

This place is a great ramen shop to go to especially for the light broth shio and shoyu ramen. I've been to this place a couple times and have always left satisfied. Their josui ramen is their classic and a great one. Their tan tan men is also decent. I tried their maze soba this time and it was very good. The pork gyoza was cooked very well and we usually get the Japanese fried calamari which is excellent. Just full on whole calamari just fried very well. The staff is very nice and very attentive. They also are very patient and respectful of our time. It can get quite busy during the rush hour meal times.

I ordered Spicy Miso Ramen and my group ordered some takoyaki. The takoyaki came out blazing hot, so careful you don't burn yourself. The flavors are quite good but the octopus is on the chewier side. Personally, I love bonito flakes, so I wish there was a little more. For ramen, I'd say their portions are decent for the price, since it fed me for at least two meals. The chashu pork was tender enough to where you can easily tear it apart with your spoon and chopsticks. I ordered level 2 spicy for my ramen and my boyfriend ordered level 3 spicy for his. Level 2 has just enough spice for casual spice enjoyers, but level 3 is perfect for spice enthusiasts. The restaurant itself is compact but not uncomfortably cramped. Though some of the seats have holes and the window near us was covered with a large sheet of paper and some tape. It didnt seem quite complete yet, but it doesnt take away too much from the dining experience. Overall, great chill restaurant to take your friends out for some tasty ramen.

BRING CASH TO SAVE 4%!! I went here to go get Ramen on a Saturday around 5:30 PM and it was quite empty. I was pleasantly surprised to see that they have a bar, but I did not see any bar menu and I did not necessarily ask for one because I’m not a big drinker. The Ramen that I got was pretty good and it was actually very spicy and it actually clean some congestion that I had in my throat that I didn’t even know that I had. I will say that I’m a bit disappointed that it cost one dollar to get the spiciest version of the food and it is on the menu that it cost money to add different levels of spices. The eggs cost $2.30 out as of February 2025 if you want an egg and I will say the meat that I got was not plentiful for a $15 bowl of robin noodles. Overall, the experience with the waitress was fabulous. She did fill up my cup without asking her to, and she was quite fast in response to my visual cues when I was ready to order and when I was ready to leave. The chicken that I got was actually quite hot and I thought it wasn’t gonna be as hot because it didn’t seem smoky when it came out to me but when I took a bite, it was quite hot and pretty good. There are definitely better Ramen spots with a better atmosphere for the price of it. this one is OK.

This place is really tucked into the shopping center, but it is clean and efficient with its space. Service was fast and friendly, food fresh and hot... the spicy miso ramen broth was delicious, I'm in love!! Overall I enjoyed my experience and will definitely be back! (I got spice level 3 and it was yummy, just a kick of heat)

Called super last minute for a table of 8 They were super accommodating and able to get us a table Colleagues enjoyed the broth which i believe is a mixture of pork and fish. The broth feels SUPER flavorful and not too heavy like your standard tonkatsu broth Noodles were enjoyable and had a nice texture I come here with my colleagues all the time and thank god for my Japanese coworkers to introduce me to this mom and pops feel of a restaurent. Love coming here

Spicy miso is the best!! Love their ramen so much.

they used to be alright but now taste very different. ordered miso ramen which was really bland nothing authentic there. sadly not coming back anymore.

Josui Ramen is a must-visit for ramen lovers! Their rich, creamy Tonkotsu broth, perfectly chewy noodles, and melt-in-your-mouth chashu pork are unforgettable. The spicy miso and vegan options shine, too. Add impeccable service and cozy ambiance, and you've got the perfect ramen experience. Highly recommended!

Pretty good! The pork slices were a bit flat, in my opinion. I loved the atmosphere, and the service was good as well. Definitely come back.

If you're looking for a spot with clean tasting ramen, definitely check out Ramen Josui. I've never been a fan of thick, heavy ramen broths but I love that Josui ramen tastes clean. The Josui ramen broth is made from pork, chicken, and fish with a good amount of al dente thin noodles. I added a soft boiled egg for $2.50 which is quite pricey but it tasted pretty good. If you do enjoy heavier broths, they have a miso ramen that comes with a piece of butter on top and has a pretty generous portion of noodles. They have seating at the counter and several tables available inside with plenty of parking in the lot. Overall a great spot for comforting ramen!

Every time our niece comes to town, she wants to go to Josui. There are a bajillion ramen options in the South Bay to Irvine, which makes the ramen options very competitive. I've only been to Josui for dinner and they strictly open at 5:30. When we arrived, we arrived about 15 minutes before opening and there was already a family ahead of us. By the time the doors opened, there were 5 groups behind us. By the time we left, there was a wait. The service and the food here is solid and the prices are on par with other ramen places I typically go to (HiroNori is on the higher end nowadays, charging almost $20 for a bowl, I believe Josui was around the $14-15 on average). On this trip, I decided on the Tantanmen because I wanted something on the heavier side and spicy. It hit the spot perfectly and I devoured it all. I also ordered a side of chicken karage. It was fine, but nothing to write home about. I think I'll just stick with the ramen next time.

Date: June 9, 2024 We were in the South Bay Area when hubs wanted to eat some ramen. We've been to many places around here and wanted to try a new spot so yelped around and saw this spot was close by. Decided to check it out. We made it just in time before they closed for their dinner break. There was a little wait so we sat outside until they called our name. While waiting, we looked at the menu to make sure we knew what we wanted when we sat down to save time. 1. Josui Ramen (12.80$) + gyoza combo (+4.25$) - had to get their signature ramen to try. Pretty light in flavor imo. But the portion is huge!! 2. Chicken Nanban (9.95$) - not too bad. The sauce was good on top. Was a little soggy. 3. Josui Kids Ramen (7.50$ + kids get to pick a toy!) I thought this was pretty cool that they let the kids pick a toy! Wish they did it after we finished eating bc that's all he wanted to play with during the meal. But it's a pretty big bowl for a kids meal! More noodles than toppings of course but so worth the price. Overall, service was really nice. Food was quick. Average tasting imo but I'm not a huge ramen enthusiast. Hubs thought it was just average too and he loves ramen. Either way, thank you for such friendly service even though we barely made the lunch cut off! Probably won't be back but thanks for the first time experience :)

This is one of my favorite ramen spots! I always order the kids shoyu as it's the perfect size for me! My friend always gets the Josui garlic oil ramen and adds the $4.50 combo with karaage and a salad! So juicy and tender! We also love the homemade pork gyoza! So light and fluffy. Service is always friends and quick and inside is always clean!!

I came here on the recommendation of my friend's wife who is from Japan and this is one of her favorite ramen restaurants. I had their Josui ramen while my family had the other types of ramen here. Broth with the Josui ramen was clean and light but still maintained good flavor and all of the ingredients in this ramen bowl was high quality. My family enjoyed their ramen here as well. Seating is available at the counter and at tables. Great service. Overall, the Josui ramen is great quality and a must-order here.

This is my favorite ramen place offering unique broth with chicken and seafood flavor while the mainstream is thick pork broth. The only wish is to have it a little less salty but it is so better than the other ramen place in South Bay

Delicious vegan ramen! Love the flavor of the broth and the consistency of the tofu in the soup. Easy parking.

One of the best ramen I have ever tried. Will come back next time. The broth is clear and simple & delicious as well . Perfect

I've heard about Josui for a while and finally had a chance to come here. I called around 7:30pm on a Saturday to see if there is a long wait. Surprisingly they said there is no wait! So we came right over. It's a cozy ramen shop with a cool bar and counter. We ordered a Josui ramen, a shoyu ramen with garlic oil and a kids shoyu ramen. The Josui ramen reminded me of a ramen I had at Tokyo Station in Japan. It's complex but very seafood forward so it has almost a sweet aftertaste. The shoyu ramen with garlic oil is very savory and robust. You can definitely taste the garlic essence in the broth. The kids shoyu ramen comes with corn in it. The best part is the kids meal comes with a toy! They bring a basket of little toys and the kids can pick one that they like. The karage was just alright. Maybe it needs more marinade?. The restaurant plays a wide variety of music. We heard some 80s, 90s and 2000s music throughout the night. However, when one of my dining partner's favorite The Smiths song was just starting to play, they switched it to a Mexican song! That annoyed him a bit. lol Overall the food is pretty good and the service is friendly. I'd come back when I'm in the area.

I love this place! Definitely one of the best ramen spots in the South Bay! If you're looking for a casual Japanese ramen place, this place is totally worth checking out. My husband and I came on a weekday evening and got seated right away with no wait. Josui ramen: this is their signature ramen. The broth is made from pork, chicken, and finished with fish. It had a very clean taste to it that I absolutely loved. It's not too heavy or oily or fatty like other ramens. It was very well balanced and comforting--just right! I would totally get this again! We also tried the Nagoya style chicken wings which came with 6 pieces. The seasoning was delicious! They also have a small kids ramen! Love places that are kid-friendly! The service was friendly and efficient. They offer a 4% cash discount so bring cash if possible to save a little money. Parking: free in plaza lot

I've been here about 5-7 times now and over the span a couple years. The ramen has always been great. My favorite is the kosoba josui and the karaage is solid. The combo with the ramen, karaage and salad is great if it's your first time. They used to have my favorite appetizer tantan silken tofu but they got rid of it :( . Good place to eat alone, a lot of people do, they have bar seating. Excellent choice if you're craving a hot bowl of soup!

The restaurant is very clean and looks like a ramen style shop. The service is good, the waitress work really hard. The tantanmen is really flavorful. Each topping added to soup creating a very complex yet well balanced bowl of ramen.

A great little ramen shop when you absolutely want some great ramen at a decent price. I don't know--I don't expect a lot from ramen shops. I basically want some good pork shoyu without a lot frills and extra or exotic ingredients. And this place delivers on the promise. I feel you take away from the flavor by adding too many ingredients. It's like trying to put lipstick on a pig. If the entree is good, you don't need to dress it up. If it's bad, no amount of distraction or masking will hide that. Just keep it ramen, stupid.

⁣The South Bay sure have some good ramen spots! Josui Ramen is well known for their signature ramen that has original stock made from pork, chicken and fish. As I am not big on seafood; I chose to their Tantan Men. Their Tantan Men was one excellent ramen. It has a wonderful balance of sweet miso pork and house layu. The broth had a nutty taste which I quite enjoyed. I also was a fan of the generous portion of ground chicken. There was an also lots of green onion and raw onion. The raw onion was the one part I didn't like for this ramen and will most likely ask them to remove next time. For $14; portion was good and fulfilling. For even more good eats; I also recommend checking out their Nagoya style Fried Chicken Wings! It is double fried chicken wings seasoned with white pepper, garlic, salt and black pepper and dipped with signature soy sauce. The wings are good but a bit on the pricey side for $7. $7 is for 6 wings. The wings are small in size and you're left wanting more. Overall Josui Ramen is a solid spot for tasty ramen!

Food was amazing, service was too. Always tasty and good. I'll see ya next time, oh so good.

The tantan ramen is the best ramen I've ever had. I'm obsessed. The have limited seating but they really turn around the tables fast!

Now that my work moved offices, I'm so happy I'm much closer! What started out as a lunch with coworkers thing became a "tell all your friends about it" spot. I'm a true creature of habit and always went to the same ramen spot but I'm glad I ventured out. The location is a bit small and it'll be tough with larger parties, but it great for parties less than 3. I usually get the Josui or miso ramen with bamboo and ask for soft noodles. I almost always have to pair it with a karaage or gyoza--it's all so tasty! Workers are helpful and attentive and overall a great place to catch a bite.

I am SO. IMPRESSED. A party of 4 of us got ramen here around 8:30 pm. We put our name through the Yelp waitlist and only waited around 15 minutes. Everything was so yummy! For appetizers: We got the Japanese calamari, or ika geso. These were fried squid legs coated in a crispy batter. The calamari was tender. Definitely the most flavorful calamari I've ever had. The batter was seasoned well. It came with a mayo dipping sauce. Would 10000% get this again. We also got the takoyaki, the octopus balls. They were so good!! We were so hungry and devoured the appetizers before we got a pic, but they were definitely a 5/5. For ramen: I got the Spicy miso ramen. It was topped with bean sprouts, ground chicken, corn & actually a slice of butter! They let you choose level 1-4. I had level 1 and it had a good amount of kick to it already. The waitress told us that by level 3, it starts to get really spicy. The miso broth was super flavorful and rich! Toppings tasted fresh. Would definitely get it again. Service was quick and our food came out fast!

My friend told me that this was the best ramen in the South Bay- so we tried it and it did not disappoint! We got the chicken karragae, josui ramen and maze soba. The chicken was nice and crispy! It was pretty decent. The josui ramen had good broth, and ramen was cooked well. The maze soba wasn't bad but the stir fried minced beef that was in it was really salty... I assume because the ramen was broth less they had to make the minced beef salty? I kept wanting to eat the veggies that were in the dish instead of the noodles... other than the saltiness, our server was really nice. I think I would go for ramen with broth next time I go back

This has to be the best ramen restaurant that I've been locally! I've been to many around the South Bay Area and have to admit it's by far the most authentic ramen restaurant that I've been to. The wait is never as long, service is exceptional and food is terrific! My favorite go to a the spicy miso ramen. I highly recommend Josui ramen! Come here before word gets out and it starts becoming more and more popular!

Food is delicious! The Service is great!!! The restaurant is the perfect size. We love this place.

This ramen spot is so delicious! I'm not the biggest fan of ramen but I really enjoyed this spot. You can upgrade the ramen to the lunch combo which comes with karaage or potstickers and a side salad. The restaurant itself is a little small though so it is difficult to accommodate for larger parties.

This is, in my experience, the best ramen I have ever had in Los Angeles. I've had lots of really good ramen, and some not so good, but I must say this place just tops the charts for me. If you are trying this place for the first time, I implore you to try the Josui or Kosoba Josui Ramen. The other items are good I'm sure, but the delicious Kosoba Josui is what has permanently seared itself into my memory. Torrance is a bit far from me, so I rarely get the opportunity to eat here- The last time I ate here was 2019 pre-pandemic. It is still every bit as good as I remembered. Heck, even the prices still feel incredibly affordable versus every other restaurant (not even just ramen!) in the last year. Of all the ramen I have ever had in my whole life, this is the only place I can think of where I not only drank the entire broth afterwards, but wanted more. It is just *that* good. It is simply divine. Specifically my experience is with that of the Kosoba Josui Ramen. I can't speak to the other items on the menu. Also, the service is excellent and the venue has a decent amount of seating. I eagerly look forward to the next time I can have this bowl of ramen. If you like Ramen and are in this area, do not pass up the chance to try it.

We ordered the Josui ramen and Shoyu ramen with garlic oil. The broth made from pork, chicken and fish. Broth taste was light and the garlic oil brings another level. Usually after having a ramen I felt heavy and oily but not with Josui ramen. The noodles also cooked perfectly. Service was quick. The restaurant is small and tables fill up fast. Overall we would be back if we are in the area.

Gardena's finest !!! Ramen Josui is on another level. After most ramen shops, I feel pretty heavy and oily, but not with Josui. I don't know how or why, but I feel much cleaner while eating their ramen and it always tastes so good. Even my family who visit from Asia always want to stop by Josui during their visits !!

Never had ramen broth that wasn't made from pork. The taste was amazing, light, refreshing and less oilier than tonkotsu. The noodles were boiled to perfection, chewy and delicious. The TanTan Men were tasty as well, the peanut broth wasn't too overpowering. I will definitely go back again in the near future.

Could be better. second time coming here and I ordered the exact same items as before. Looks like they raised the prices on the menu. I ordered the tan tan noodles and chashu bowl. The tan tan noodles were alright, I would get something else next time. My biggest complaint is the chashu bowl. Last time I came here, half the meat was pure blocks of fat. Today like 70% of the meat was fat. To me, it shows poorer quality ingredients across the menu board. Sorry about being negative but hoping to see maybe around 30% fat at most. Interior is great, clean, and modern. I like the counter seats, they look unique and inviting. Staffs were friendly. I ordered to-go when they opened for dinner time. Also do not like that they are closed couple hours after lunch and before dinner. This place has potential to be one of the ramen restaurant in this area. Nonetheless a good ramen place.

This is a wonderful ramen spot tucked away in a corner of Torrance. I've been two times and each time was great. Firstly, the restaurant is small but well decorated in a modern style that is very chic. I think it's an awesome spot for a date or a casual work lunch. I've only been here in the daytime, but I can imagine that it's cooler at night. The waiters are polite and attentive. I asked them some questions about the level of spice of a soup, and they were honest. I ordered the Tantan Men which was delicious! The noodles were chewy and thick. The broth was layered in flavor and spice that made me want to cry in a good way. I couldn't finish the bowl, so I took it home and the leftover version was even better! I also ordered the Miso Ramen which was good. It was very cozy and simple. Definitely a must-get if you're under the weather. This has become one of my to-go ramen spots. Please visit it! Be sure to check the hours since they're not average hours.

Great ramen, great price. Service is really quick! They have a good selection for kids as well. Would recommend the classic ramen. 8.2/10

On this spot is a hidden Gem. I'm so picky with my Ramen and this is by far some of the greatest Ramen I've ever had. We also had the fried calamary which was spectacular. Service was amazing and the prices for what you get are amazing. Great family atmosphere. Definitely a 10 out of 10

Foods are great. It's true Japanese taste. Tebasaki is really yum! Definitely order it! We ordered 20! But one thing, the server quality is so low. Maybe because this is a Japanese restaurant we expect good service but when we called and asked something, they answered very mean! Sounds so tired or annoyed. When we arrived at the restaurant servers looked not happy, and told us "Wait outside" No please, or asking behavior. That's the only downside we don't want to come back to the restaurant and not recommend it here.

Will come again to try the broth-less ramen for sure. This place on my bf's to eat list for awhile. We came on Sunday around 12:30pm. There is no wait and not so many people. We ordered two bowls of ramen, Josui ramen and shoyu ramen with garlic oil, we also add combos salad and 3pcs karaage. The chicken is very tender not dry, the salad is normal. The noodle soup was so good. It warms my soul. It is not over powering, pretty subtle. Two pieces of chasu are enough for me. Even though I ate slower than usual the noodle didn't get soggy. My bf ate all the soup and we will come back for the Maze soba. The restaurant was full when we were leaving.

The place is small and can be busy at times. Fortunately, the menu doesn't have too many options and service is quick. We tend to alternate between eating at the restaurant and ordering delivery through Door Dash. Today was errand day and we were looking forward to a bowl of ramen. We ordered: Takowasa Spicy cucumber Josui ramen combo with karaage Mazesoba Craving fulfilled! Enjoy!

We tend to get takeout from here as they are conveniently located on the way home from work. The vegan choices are very good...something I look forward to in ramen spots. Service is friendly and I've never had to wait when I've phoned in or placed my order online. Dining room is small but clean and minimal, which I like. Will keep coming back when I have a hunkering to have ramen at home!

Torrance Food Crawl #414 Ramen Josui (or "clear water") started in the Nagoya area of Japan. (Trivia: Nagoya is the fourth largest city in Japan). I read a story in The Japan Times that the original Ramen Josui restaurant in Nagoya is a destination for 'ramen crawls' mainly because of the popularity of their salt ramen. The owner wanted to expand to the U.S. market and this location was planned as the first location in the U.S. Ramens are made up of five components: tare (the rich sauce that flavors your soup), broth, noodles, toppings, and oil/fat. I can't fault the ramen here at Ramen Josui in any of those five categories. The first ramen I tried here was their signature Josui Ramen, which I was told is the closest to the original salt ramen at the Nagoya location. When I first tasted the broth, I knew this was something special. The stock is made from pork, chicken, and fish, and they come together in the best possible way, a richness and blending that was almost perfect. The noodles were excellent, the tonkatsu (pork) tender, and toppings such as the midori negi (green onion), menma (bamboo shoots), nori (seaweed), and daikon slices (radish) added to a more full ramen eating experience. I've tried this ramen probably half a dozen times and loved it each time - in fact, I like the broth so much I've thought it would make an excellent soup all on its own. Another favorite has been the Miso Ramen. Similar to the Josui Ramen, the miso broth is excellent. It's broths like this that remind me that first tasting the broth is always the right thing to do when eating ramen. The wheat noodles, similarly to all the other ramens, were nicely prepared and cooked. I've never felt the need to order any extra noodles, the quantity of noodles is plenty enough by my standards. The Kosoba Josui ramen is similar but has a pork-based broth. The broth is not as complex as that in the Josui Ramen, but still very good. The Shoyu Ramen is the same except that it uses a soy broth, and while it was excellent, I prefer the Kosoba Josui with the pork broth. The Mazesoba was a ramen without broth, distinguished by its use of garlic chili oil, stir-fried minced beef, and a soft-boiled egg. This dish was labeled on the menu as spicy & hot (an orange flame icon), however, it didn't seem that spicy to my taste buds. (I believe I was told that it was a level one spice.) This dish was interesting because I don't usually have ramen without the broth, and while perhaps a little out of my comfort zone for ramen, I could see myself ordering it again. All the other ramens are fine, just depends on what you like. The Tantan Men Ramen had a sweet ground pork topping, the Spicy Ramen was exactly as advertised, and even the Vegan ramens didn't disappoint. If you would like some spice added to your ramen, it's available in four different levels, one through four. Personally, if I was in the mood for something spicy I would just go for the level two or three - level one is mildly spicy, and the level four is very spicy and probably at my transition point from an enjoyable spiciness to a 'challenge' level. There are several appetizers to choose from. My favorites include the Fried Chicken Wings and the Takoyaki (octopus balls). I didn't care so much for the Takowasa (raw octopus) and cold sliced duck, but I guess those are more of an acquired taste so I can't be too negative about them. This location can get quite busy. There are perhaps a dozen tables and a counter which is usually open except during very busy periods. If the place is full, just enter your name on the iPad at the entrance. Service has always been excellent.

Went here on a weekday for lunch just after opening and it was already quite busy. They have a good selection of ramen based on your preference. They have the usual shoyu, spicy miso and tantanmen. They even have vegan versions of the miso and shoyu ramen. They are known for their signature Josui ramen which is made of pork, chicken and fish stock. I got the Kosoba Josui ramen which has an added garlic oil. The ramen reminded me of a ramen I had in Japan - it was a clear broth that has a clean taste as you would normally expect from a chicken based broth. But it also has the fatty flavor you would expect from a pork broth. I think that's what makes their ramen quite unique. Their noodles are thin and slightly firm. I added an egg but i dont think it was a flavored one. We also had the tan tan tofu, spicy cucumber and fried chicken wings as appetizers. My favorite was the chicken wings because it is very well seasoned. It's like an in between of garlic pepper dry rub and a soy glaze so you really taste all the flavor in there. The spicy cucumber has a nice crunch, is very refreshing and also pretty spicy. I wasn't a big fan of the tofu but maybe it's because I'm not really used to eating tofu like that. Service was good and attentive. The server kept refilling our waters and made sure we had everything we needed. Overall, I think their signature ramen and appetizers are worth a try! I can really taste the quality in their food and I would go back to try their other ramens.

Fast, high quality, and relatively cheap! The josui ramen with garlic oil is my go to. It's my favorite ramen place in the South Bay!

one of my favorite ramen joints last call is at 9 pm even thought they close at 9:30

I love the quality of ramen here. It is our go-to place for Ramen. It's near our place. The staff are really friendly and service is fast. The place is not too big, but i love the ambience it gives. Definitely recommend!

The broth in the Vegan Miso Ramen totally rocked my world! Probably one of the best-tasting miso broths I've ever had. I can't quite put my finger on what makes it so delicious. Maybe it's the umami, maybe it's the organic soy broth, maybe it's the special whipped vegan miso. Whatever it is, it absolutely jumped near the top of my vegan ramen list! https://bit.ly/3iDImEs This also comes with bean sprouts, corn, bamboo shoots, radish, green onions, and salad greens. The noodles are on the thicker side. Generous portion too. There are a few other vegan options on the menu as marked by a green leaf. My niece has had both the Vegan Gyoza and the Vegan Shoyu Ramen. She liked the Vegan Gyoza. Though she said she preferred the Vegan Miso over the Vegan Shoyu, I'm still curious about checking out this other vegan ramen on the menu. Cute restaurant. Quick service. Looking forward to my next visit.

Probably one of the better ramen I've had in Southern California and in my life in general. The prices here are very affordable in my opinion as well. Nowadays with inflation and price increases in general, most ramen places as of today are charging between $14-16 for a bowl, but I saw ramen as low as $10.90 at this place for a decent size bowl. I opted for the spicy option with is technically Taiwanese to Japanese introduced, but I also got to try my friend's ramen that was a Josui original and it was also delicious. Both of ours were really really good. I love that you can make your ramen into a little combo for only like $3.50 more and it'll come with a side salad and gyoza (or choice of something else). There was a slight wait on a Tuesday night around 6:30, but also keep in mind this place isn't super big so it can only accommodate so many. Will definitely be back!

This is our 2nd time ordering from this ramen place. Their Ramen is fresh and filling. The gyoza is also a great addition to the meal. There are good combo meals offered too if you want a little bit of everything. For dining, the tables tend to fill up fast but the wait isn't too long. The servers are super nice and friendly. When asked about gluten option they weren't sure but tried their hardest to understand what gluten is. Unfortunately they do not have gluten free options on their menu except the green salad. Did not take pictures but we ordered the Josui ramen with garlic oil and the vegan ramen. My son devoured his ramen with garlic oil. I love vegetables so I had to order the vegan one. There id a good amount of fresh veggies & tofu. Since I am not a vegetarian, i l requested them to make vegan ramen with pork broth. The white mapo sauce was a real good! I will definitely order it again! The restaurant is not real big. There is about 10 -12 tables and a bar area. I didn't take pictures but the pictures the many Yelpers have posted are legit!!

This is by far the best Ramen in the South Bay, thank me later xx Things to order: Josui Ramen Karage Shoyu ramen Seasonal Ramen Gyoza

It's a small place, but they do a really good job here. The ramen was good and the combo it comes with was nicely priced. I ordered the Tantan combo ($21). You grt a 4% discount if you pay with cash. This place is good if you are coming by yourself.

This is one of my top ramen spots in LA. I have come for dinner several times and have never had to wait for a table. I like getting the Josui Ramen with the Karaage + Salad combo. It's a good deal and a lot of food. My friend likes the miso ramen that has a tab of butter, and while this is also good, I think it's a little salty for me. Overall come here for a good vibe, quick service, and tasty ramen!

I was craving Ramen and then I found myself at Ramen Josui. Gotta love it when life works out like that. Bonus when the food and service is good too. Life is good. So, ended up here the other night. Huge empty parking lot. Almost have to wonder if the plaza is dying. I don't remember all the shops there except The Loft. Hawaiian. If you're wondering. Walk in, greeted immediately. Offered a seat at the bar. Almost neve a problem finding seating when it's a party of one. Place was more than half filled and stayed steady. Nice to see places still open and hanging on with all that's went on and going on in the world. Service was great. Didn't ask her name but she was attentive and funny. She wasn't rushing me but I think I must have surprised her because I kept ordering. From my initial order to when she handed me the check but I didn't have dessert yet. Because you know, dessert is never optional. My meal was served fast and hot. So hot that I had to let the side dishes sit for a minute. See pics. Only thing I would have liked is a bigger salad portion. Something about the dressing just worked for me and what I was having. The rest was good that I saved up half of the Ika Geso and Chicken so I could have them for lunch the next day. I was starving that evening. I could have finished everything off, including dessert. Ramen wasn't spicy (for me) but I enjoyed the flavor of the mix of ingredients. The leftovers were ok the next day. Not the same but not bad considering most things won't be the same when not served fresh. Like I said, been here a few times. And I'm sure I'll be back.

Prime location at the corner of a plaza and like half a block away from Tokyo Central! They didn't have AC at the time of the heat wave when I went so it kind of felt like being back in Japan (hah...) Got their signature and tantanmen, noth with combos of each. I think for the additional $3.50 for a side salad and either 3 piece of gyoza or karaage, the karaage is way worth it. Plus it's super crunchy, huge pieces of chicken and overall delicious. Signature ramen - super flavorful, lots of broth flavor, light. And HOT. Thin noodles cooked to perfection, kakuni (I think?) was tender. Perfect way to eat hot things on a hot day and sweat everything out! Tantanmen - bold flavor, a bit heavier broth, super filling. Apparently people will bring their own containers to take the soup back home and make a little rice porridge to enjoy the deliciousness all over again! Must go!!!
