Kotsu Ramen & Gyoza Redondo Beach

Restaurant Ramen restaurant

👍👍 The best vegan ramen in the area, hands down! The vegan options come loaded with goodies, and the tofu steak is the absolute BEST! The broth is wonderfully creamy and savory, and the noodles are big and chewy. The ramen bowls are big, and sure to fill up even the hungriest of folks. The vegan gyoza... People often mention broth, Ramen, great,

The vegan gyoza were great as well; so good that I forgot to take a picture! Be sure to check this place out, you don't want to miss it!

    This was my first time eating here and LOVED IT!!! I got the Kotsu Curry w/Pork Chashu. The curry flavor did not over power the Katsu and had a slight mild spice to it. However, halfway thru eating it, I had a light sprinkle of sweat on my forehead 😅. I don't know what spice or seasoning was on the egg but maaaaaan was that tasty & flavorful. That was no regular egg and would suggest ordering extra!! The atmosphere was really nice, clean, and contemporary but with a touch of mom&pop. Service was friendly with a genuine smile.

    I was looking for a different Ramen place near me and had never heard of this one. It was new and I was really excited to try it. I brought my daughter and I here on a Saturday around noon. It is located in a new strip mall. The inside is really nice and open, not crowded like at some Ramen restaurants. You place an order at a touch screen, pay. grab a number and have a seat. They had some good selection and I was happy to see they had a plain version of the OG Ramen because my daughter doesn't like extra toppings. The food was brought to us right away and it was really delicious. The cut of pork was really thick! I may return on a weeknight, but also noted that they closed at 9pm so I am going to keep that in mind. I highly recommend it!

    Love the ramen at Kotsu. I had the chicken and my partner had the traditional pork. We loved them both. We both ordered the kick with the spice on the side and it was great to be able to control how spicy we wanted the ramen to be. The location was very clean and the staff were very friendly. I would recommend trying Kotsu ramen if you have never been and I will most definitely be back.

    Best Ramen place in town. I've never tried the pork broth and I've heard it's greasy, but the vegetable broth and chicken broth are delicious! Each broth has different styles and different spice levels. I highly recommend this place. Also the Gyoza here is amazing. Good serving sizes too and I absolutely love that it plays either Pokemon or Series of Unfortunate Events on the TV. This place is a little hidden, but is worth the search.

    First time to this place, passed by it hundreds of times. As we entered we received a nice warm welcome and a smile. I asked what what the most popular item ordered was. He suggested the Kotsu Ramen. We ordered the Pork along with Pork Gyoza. Our order took only a few minutes to arrive hot. The presentation of the Katsu Bow was nicely done. The broth was eich and great tasting with the mild heat seasoning. It came with a half Century Egg which was great. The yolk was creamy and yum!. The pork is actually a nicely season THICK cut of bacon which went great with the soup Lots of noodles and cut green onions very filling. This bowl fed both of us. One of the top Ramen Places we've visited. The Gyoza was nicely steams with seasoned pork inside. Overall, this gets our yum award!!!!! On a added note the staff checked on us several times. He did this with everyone .

    Delicious. I love the chili threads. I get the Tonyu Flame. It’s vegan! So yummy. The tofu is great. I can’t wait to go back.

    Go for “The Flame”, it’s soo good! I usually go here during lunch. The portions are medium-large so if you’re not that hungry you may be able to share a bowl. I have tried the Karaage, it was nice and crispy but I should mention that they’re famous for their broth. They even have a lunch special for their O.G. Ramen which is the regular kind, which makes it a bit cheaper. Enough tables to handle busy hours and even bar seats as well. YES they serve alcohol!
