Daikokuya Sawtelle - Ramen restaurant in Los Angeles - 2208 Sawtelle Blvd, USA

Easy parking in the parking structure that shared with Marshalls and Michael’s. There’s a QR code you’re supposed to scan to pay but I’ve never done so. Try to add the Yelp waitlist before going so you don’t have to wait as long. Lots of things to do when you’re waiting to stall time. I had the Daikoku ramen with the pork cutlet rice bowl, which was the wrong order from the beginning, was a big fan of the pork too bowl, since it was extremely soggy and cold Vegan spicy sesame Ramen was good Small tight, ambience seating spaces extremely limited here. I’m glad they least have some bar seating also

sorry it was so tasty we forget to take pics 🥹 spicy miso ramen is a must. love their salmon bowl. my favorite thing on the menu is their house salad!!! idk why is this so gooood!!! service is awesome. thank you for being quick and responsive 😇

Nice ramen place. Has parking underground. Can get busy at times. Open late till 1am. Quick and tasty

This is the only location that offers the chicken shoyu ramen which I thought was pretty tasty and had a large quantity. We also got spicy tuna roll for appetizer which was great and a good level of spice for us. The ramen was so filling though that we probably didn't need to get the appetizer. Our server was also really nice! I would definitely recommend this place.

Easy parking The chicken karage is very good The ramen menu is somewhat limited (looking for a spicy miso-free tonkotsu) and is a bit on the pricy side but it tastes good and is well proportioned

We had the dinner there after a show. It was quite late and there was still a long queue outside of the restaurant. So I highly recommend to get a number before heading there. The food was quite good. We had the ramen and cold dipping noodles and some dumplings. All good and delicious. The price is ok. The service was quite good except a waitress was a little weird but doesn’t bother us (to be honest 😅)

If you're in the mood for some authentic ramen, Daikokuya is definitely worth a try! The ramen is well-balanced and not too heavy or greasy, with perfectly cooked noodles that are sure to satisfy your cravings. While the chashu donburi (pork bowl) may not be to everyone's liking due to its sweetness, the pork is cooked to perfection and the dish is still worth a try. The atmosphere of the restaurant is also a highlight, with an interior that transports you to a traditional ramen shop in Japan. Overall, if you're looking for a satisfying and authentic ramen experience, Daikokuya is a great option to consider. While I wouldn't necessarily give it my highest recommendation, it's certainly worth checking out if you're in the area.

Great atmosphere, food always on point. I've been enjoying the vegan options on the menu, and they're consistent with the quality . Quick service, small space tho so expect a wait if it's a busy time.
