Ramen Tatsunoya

I came here in a Saturday evening. There was a short line. Waited 10 min. The place is nicely lit. Me and my daughter ordered the same thing. Crispy spicy Chashu wraps and KOKU TONKOTSU. THE TAMEN IS GOOD. ITS DELICIOUS. I took a pic to show I finished the whole thing bit because I was hungry , but because it was good. I have to come back to try more. But they won’t disappoint you. My daughter approved this review too. The wraps are tasty. They’re small. Just for one person. Get 2 orders of you like them. This is one of the best ramen in LA county.

There is always line. But it went pretty fast for us. Friendly and fast service, tasty ramen, clean. What else do you need from good ramen place? Will definitely visit again if in Pasadena.

If you find yourself along Colorado Boulevard in Old Town Pasadena and hunger sets in, I suggest making a quick turn on to Fair Oaks Avenue and searching for Ramen Tatsunoya. You’ll know you’ve arrived when you see a striking tree centerpiece inside the restaurant. We visited for a later dinner on a Saturday evening an hour before they closed at 10pm and the restaurant was at full capacity. Thankfully we didn’t have to wait long and were seated quickly by their friendly staff. We started with the Crispy Spicy Chashu Wraps and the Housemade Gyoza. Both appetizers/side dishes really hit the spot. In fact, I enjoyed them more than I did the Spicy Miso Tonkotsu Ramen. The ramen broth was flavorful but a bit too rich for my liking and not spicy enough. It also would’ve been nice to have the option to customize the noodle set-up. I’ve had better ramen at a few other spots, but I still recommend Tatsunoya as a great comfort spot for ramen!

The place is always busy and very hospitable. I love the chicken wings and noodles. The broth is very flavorful and fulfilling to the tastebuds. My favorite noodle spot! Enjoyed this place for the last couple of years living here in Pasadena.

Ramen Tatsunoya is a Top Notch ramen Restaurant. They nail the Four main pillars of ramen quality - Noodle quality, Marinated Egg, Broth, and Protein. The noodles are great, egg is exactly what you expect from a top Ramen restaurant, broth is perfectly balanced with plenty of flavor, and the protein was superb. On my next visit I would go light on the green onion since the broth is so flavorful as it is. I would highly recommend checking out Ramen Tatsunoya and I most definitely will be back. Bonus they are open late!

Very yummy ramen in Old Town Pasadena! We had no wait time for a table even though the restaurant was quite busy on a weekday. The menu options were simple and the food was hot and tasted great. The extra additions were a bit pricey but the soup itself was enough. I highly recommend their classic Koku Tonkotsu, it has a super rich broth.

Great price for the quality of the experience. Their noodles may not be my favorite, but all of the ramen broths are excellent. Don’t be scared if there’s a bit of a line at the door; they get people in and out quickly. The servers are all pretty hardworking, it’s just seems that some of them have a hard time understanding what you’re saying.
