“ Best ramen in the greater Los Angeles area. The broth is so delicious. Tries a bunch of ramen places and this one is the best. ”

“ Located just off Honolulu Ave, Kontentsu is a fantastic Japanese restaurant with an extensive menu. I've been coming here for over a year, and the quality of food and service never fails to impress. The Poke Don is easily one of the best in the area, featuring fresh fish and a flavorful sauce, while the Tonkotsu ramen boasts a rich, savory broth. The carefully curated presentation of each dish is evident when plated. As for logistics, the area can get quite busy, and the parking lot behind the building sometimes fills up quickly. Once inside, you'll find both indoor and outdoor seating options, making it a great spot for any occasion or weather. ”

“ Kotentsu was a place I've never tried in the city, but K was actually surprised about how good the food was! The place is tight, but can service decent party sizes & has good parking outside. The ramen, bao buns, and drinks were really good & felt that it is a good asian restaurant in the area to eat at! ”

“ This place is awesome for sushi and poke! Poke Don is amazinggg must try! The rolls are always fresh and hits the spot. Definitely a vibe place to go with friends to grab a coupe of drinks. ”

“ Cute place! Service was quick and friendly. I ordered the spicy miso ramen and it was delicious. We also ordered brussels sprouts for appetizer and it was good. I would definitely come back. ”

“ Ambiance is perfect for a slurping ramen vibe in a cool space with cool hanging art deco lights and cherry blossom branches hugging a wall. Service was fast once we were seated. We were waiting for quite awhile. Here's what I got from the menu: Tonkotsu Black $18.50 Roasted garlic infused pork bone broth. With your choice of braised pork chashu or chicken. Along with bean sprouts, scallions, seaweed paper and sweet soy marinated soft boiled egg, then topped with our kale and onion crunch, finished with a drizzle of roasted black garlic oil. Intense flavor to satisfy your ramen fix. -------- Ramen delivered just as described in menu. Noodles were freshly made and the perfect chewy al dente ramen noodles you could ever ask for. Broth was rich and cozy. Warm your soul type of rich. Pork Chashu came in thick slices that were perfectly cooked. Thinly sliced scallion ribbons piled atop the ramen compliments the noodles with each slurp. ”

“ **Rating experience with a small child** My 5 year old and I were craving ramen at our newly moved neighborhood and decided to check out some local spots. We came across Kontentsu and decided to give them a try. We had a hard time finding them at first, not realizing that they are on the upstairs floor. There was plenty of free parking in the public space, so that was not an issue at all. We came here for two things and two things only: edamame and tonkotsu ramen. I ordered a regular meal and asked for extra noodles ($2.50 additional) which made it into a perfect meal to share with my son. He insisted we get corn and extra seaweed as well. My son LOVED it! He kept giving thumbs up and saying it's a 5-star rating, and chowed it down relatively fast (impressive for a child that usually eats extremely slowly). He's also had quite a lot of ramen, and also had some delicious meals in Japan, so I was pleased that he liked his meal. Service was friendly, fast, and we got served right away. They were very friendly to my son, which is always appreciated, and they made us feel very welcome. Will definitely come back to the other items! ”

“ This is a somewhat hidden restaurant since it's located on the 2nd floor of a small plaza. Inside is a simple and clean space with cute decor. The vegetable miso ramen was DELICIOUS. I got it vegan with the kale noodles and it was perfect texture. It was a filling meal and enjoyed every bite. The service was friendly and attentive, so they are doing a great job! Highly recommend trying this one out if you're craving some Japanese ramen! ”
