Who knew in the middle of El Monte would be this little unassuming ramen place tucked in a tiny strip mall??? I kept passing by this place and finally tried it. Everything was AMAZING. They even have vegan options! The flavor of the broth was excellent despite it being veggie based. The place is small with about 3 big booths and maybe 4 other tables, so know that seating is limited. Portions were generous. My partner took part of his chicken karaage bowl home. I'll be coming back!

I've been been to this restaurant many times and what I can say is that the flavors and service is consistently a 10/10. Worth the drive from Pasadena I've tried their Chicharito Roll, they're Spicy Tonkotsu Ramen, they're pork fried rice and as a creature of habit, we always order all three and have enough to bring back home. The portions are perfect for me who enjoys to repeat delicious flavors. The restaurant is perfect, not loud at all, always vibing to modern music and I love that the staff recognizes us and even remembers what we like to order. They're super friendly, there's always parking and have never had to wait for a table more than 5 mins. I highly recommend this hidden gem (Tonkotsu House Ramen) in El Monte.

The restaurant is different in a good way. Has anime characters on the wall. The waitress was very friendly and polite. The order was quick and plated nicely. The tantanemen was very good. Full of flavor and just made well. The soup was delicious. The fried rice was good, for me I would have liked some black pepper but a great fried rice. The street tacos were tasty and very reasonably priced. Was in El Monte for a car service, this will be my go to place to eat while waiting for my car.

Service was amazing! Benjamin our server deserves a raise! Had a great experience! He stopped by to check on how dinner was going several times. Other restaurants in the area rarely do that. Food was as expected. It was good for the location and price. Atmosphere is definitely the El Monte vibe. Mariachi music coming from the kitchen and pop music in the dining area. If you grew up in El Monte, feels like home, lol.
