Hakata Ikkousha Tonkotsu Ramen Torrance

Got the black devil spice level 2. It was decent. Good flavor but lacking in the depth department. Chashu-don tasted weird. Too much ginger? I appreciated the effort but this bowl of ramen was a good reminder of why I don’t eat ramen in the U.S.

Ikkousha ramen is a full-on experience, not just a meal. The broth is rich, creamy, and deeply flavorful without being heavy—like it’s been perfected over years (because… it has). The noodles have that ideal bite, the pork is melt-in-your-mouth tender, and every component feels intentional and perfectly balanced. It’s the kind of ramen that makes you close your eyes on the first sip and immediately plan your next visit. Comforting, craveable, and absolutely elite. If you’re serious about ramen, Ikkousha is mandatory. 🍜🔥

This is one of my favorite tonkotsu in the entire LA area. So sad the one in Little Tokyo area near Downtown closed. I love the noodle itself. It tastes really fresh. The tonkotsu broth itself is very refined. I will go either way middle flavor and extra firm noodles. The middle flavor is just ok. Not too intense. The shoyu I tried. Middle flavor is going to taste too salty. I’ll go one notch down. Always order kaedama here. Really one of the best tasting noodles. $15 for ramen is why I come here. Most reasonably priced ramen with authentic taste. The gyoza is a must. It is quite good.

First time coming here and I have to admit it was so good and juicy. My favorite out of the dish was the rice. I come from out of state and coming here as a tourist it was so delicious. I will come back this way again when I am in town

Busy place! Put your name on the yelp wait list. No place to wait inside. Indoor dining conditions are not top notch and it’s a little dingy with dirty bathrooms but the food and service were excellent! I had the black demon slice level 3 and it was great. My wife had the mentai ramen and kids had the tonkatsu. All were excellent!! Would go back. We’ve been to Japan and ate all the types of ramen and also have tried Ramen in various big cities across the world. My wife is also half Japanese, and very critical of ramen.
