Teriyaki was terrible. Should take it off the menu. Waste of money. Couldn't even finish it. Lots of chunks of grizzle and fat. Had to spit out half of what I put in my mouth. Asked for spicy, but didn't get a lick of anything remotely spicy. Added my own Sriracha in order to get the food down without vomiting. This is coming from one of the least picky people you could ever meet. Seriously, I'd eat dirt if it was seasoned right; and would prefer dirt over this pile of sh**.

Decided to check this place out after a long day and most places were starting to close. Thankfully this place was opened along La Brea around 11 pm! They have street parking and a shared parking lot with a few spots. It's a humble spot with a few tables indoors and outdoors. We got the Isa Ramen and the Spicy Ramen. Between the two, get the Isa Ramen! Much more flavor. The Spicy Ramen needed a bit more saltiness and savory depth which the Isa Ramen had. Both bowls came with a boiled egg and pork with some garnishments of bean sprouts and green onions. You can also add minced garlic for free! Overall, pretty affordable and I would grab a quick Isa Ramen if I had another late night and wanted some noods!

Great for solo/2 people lunches or dinner with Japanese comfort food of rameb, udon and rice bowls. The sole japanese lady running the place is always polite and quick.

I love this place place but today's service was a little slow. There was only two customers here before I arrived but I waited at the door for several minutes before I could be seat. I had to make the waitress notice my presence while she was filling out a to go order. When I was finished I waited ten minutes before I finally decided to go directly to the cashier to pay for my order so I could leave. The whole time, the place wasn't that busy or crowded. The food was still great. I still plan on coming here again.

Very humble place but their food is not! I went the second time after remembering the great experience and it did not disappoint 🙌 We got Isa Ramen and Large Curry with Chicken (or something like that). Their curry is a must-try! (Oh and mind that the plates are big!) Thank you so much Isa, will come again!

Spicy crazy Ramen was my goto... I dont know what has happened but the quality is going down. I always take it to go so my experience might differ from others. On one order the plastic top melted into the soup idk how that happened. ( I let it slide things happen) The next time my food had a black short hair in it. Now this last time I ordered 2 spicy crazy soups and the meat was burnt on both...with hair inside one of the soups. I had to throw it out waste of money.

One of the few food establishments that open very late with great food. They are open to 4am. The quality and service was very good. I definitely recommend to try the food anytime they are open especially the Ramen.

One of the best hidden spots in this area / all of LA. Such a homey vibe. Go chill here with your friends! Their chicken cutlet curry is my faaaavorite. If you order one of the Specials, you get so much food for your money.

The sushi 🍣 is excellent but the Ramen is hit or miss. I got the spicy Ramen today and it was good. Sometime it's too salty. But overall a great place to eat.

Just ordered Chicken Cutlet Curry thru Uber Eats and this is what I paid $18.45 for.

Ramen and happy hour specials were great! Napkins readily available , at the table,would have been nice. My kids loved the egg inside the ramen.

Had amazing Chicken Katsu Curry there. One of the best I had. The Tako-yaki was really good too. The Location might not leave a good first impression, but the food is well worth it.

Small ramen/Japanese food place with parking at the adjacent car wash. There is limited seating- we were the only ones there on Labor Day and we sat in the “backyard.” Food was good- the Isa ramen was the fave in our family. Good portions but all the ramen has chicken thighs instead of pork. The pricing on the menus differed so we were unsure of the price. The black ramen was $4 more than isa for some reason. I got the chicken katsudon which was good but a much smaller portion than the other meals.

Nice small Japanese ramen shop. The ramen was good. My wife loved the broth. The kids loved the curry as well. The only thing I didn’t like was the friend chicken bowl was on the salty side but over all it was a good place and would come back again.

This is a fantastic example of “never judge a book by its cover” as this seemingly run-down unit in the parking lot of a car wash looks like it should be a place you avoid at all costs, but you’ll be making a huge mistake if you did that. The ramen here is exceptional - I would say the best I’ve had in LA and it gets up there with some of the best ramen I’ve had in Japan too! This is a simple restaurant but with a pretty extensive menu, where everything is packed full of flavor. The prices are incredibly good value too, and the service is quick and friendly. This is the epitome of a hidden gem and I couldn’t recommend it any higher!

Nostalgic for me since I was here about 8 years ago. Food is awesome for the price deal for lunch.

They made a custom dish for us that wasn't on the menu which was super cool. Plus everything we had was very good and authentic. Very friendly staff and a cozy atmosphere

Very good ! Authentic Ramen, prices are under LA-par and the taste is very good ! Please mind that the seating spaces there is limited (3 tables). Definitely recommend !

The best katsu don in town, as well as anything else fried. Great hours as well, a bit of a hike in the wall but adds to the ambiance imo. Ramen is also very good, would recommend the classic isa ramen. Even the curry is superb, highly recommend for any fans of Japanese cuisine

Food is always amazing! I come here often when I want some late night food - the staff are always so warm and welcoming. Have never had a bad experience here :)

Mom was really nice and the food was amazing. Small intimate environment perfect for our guests.

Ordered Isa Ramen, it comes with a braised egg, chashu, bean sprouts and pickled ginger. The broth was flavorful and the noodles was springy, one of the better ones that I have had. We also tried Sapporo Raman, I think the broth is made from red miso, but I like Isa Ramen better. The tempura udon is just common place. As we ordered combos, the ramen came with four gyozas each, a sushi roll and a salad. Overall loved the Isa Ramen, will go for it again if I have the chance.

Amazing little gem. Authentic cuisine. My girlfriend and I were craving something hot and soupy lol. I got Tokyo ramen and she got udon. It was soooooooo tasty. Delicious broth and noodles cooked to perfection. One of my fav spots in La. Their fried chicken is incredible! If you’re craving legit delicious Japanese food, without traveling to Little Tokyo, look no further.

Small Japanese restaurant on La brea. Open late with a great combo menu. The place is humble but the food is 5 stars and very affordable. Great ramen full of flavor. Great option for after hours grub and sober up eats!.

The Chicken Yakisoba tasted like pure sauce - nothing but sauce flavor overwhelmed the dish. There was barely any chicken in the noodles as well. Dissapointed.

Great spot for delicious ramen 🧡

Wow! What a delicious food they got here. Everything we ordered from the menu taste great! You should definitely checknthis place out!

Quaint space, loved the food! I came here with my siblings and we shared the food, wide variety and they had items available for my vegetarian sibling. Appreciate that they are open late hours, will come here again!
