Whenever we visit Little Tokyo, we will have ramen at Daikonuya. It was a pleasant surprise to find this spot in El Monte, as it's way closer to where we live. All the dishes we ordered tasted great. Service is prompt and friendly. Will...Read More

- Never been to this branch before but the food is still the same Daikokuya Ramen Quality that I have loved for 20 years - Out of all the branches I been, I like this one the most. Really feels like Ramen bar in Japan.

Fantastic ramen, hard for me to say if it's as good as the og Little Tokyo location but it's still pretty damn good and it's a lot closer for me personally. This location also has a sweet lunch combo, crazy good value and flavor.
