Kouraku Japanese Ramen & Grill 7.8
Little Tokyo
Vibes: Hidden Gems Heaven Cheap Eats Budget Brilliance Comfort Food Classics Solo Dining Sanctuaries
A long-running Little Tokyo ramen house that still feels like a local canteen: hearty bowls, comfort sides, and late hours. It’s not flashy, but the kitchen is steady and portions are generous for the price. Great for a low-key lunch that sticks the landing.
Must-Try Dishes: Tenshin chahan (omelet fried rice), Miso vegetable ramen, Chicken katsu curry
Scores:
Value: 8.3 Service: 7.4 Consistency: 7.8 Food Quality: 7.9 Atmosphere: 6.8 Cultural Relevance: 7.6
What makes it special: Old-school Little Tokyo ramen shop with cult-favorite fried rice.
Who should go: Locals, solo diners, anyone craving simple comfort.
When to visit: Afternoons for a calm, quick meal.
What to order: Tenshin chahan, miso ramen, katsu curry.
Insider tip: Pair ramen with a half-order chahan for the classic combo.
