About Me: I am Level 7 Local Guide who is ranked top 10% of Google Restaurant Reviewers and have 15M+ views. I am a born and raised NYer who now lives in Los Angeles. I do not receive compensation for these reviews.
Now that the weather is getting colder, I am naturally gravitate to more warming foods like Ramen. I am currently on a Ramen tear so expect to see more reviews of other places that serve Ramen.
I am big fan of Mitsuwa Market, a Japanese market in Venice that is sort of a food court and mini-mall to all things Japanese. Hokkaido is just one of the establishments housed in the market. Their menu is extensive for such a small kitchen. You sit in a communal food court area that has someone clearing tables which is nice. This is a no frills kind of place so don’t expect much in the way of environment or service. Nevertheless everyone is very kind and polite. I ordered a basic pork Ramen which very good. Quality of the pork is always a distinguishing factor and here it was average. That being said the broth is also key and I found it very rich and tasty. I have been here twice now and will be back again.

This place used to be amazing pre covid. I just tried it again after 5 years and it feels like Mc Donalds for ramen. The quality of food has fallen off the cliff. Maybe they changed their owner? They used to have a long line in front of them every-time I ate there back in the day. Not anymore.

Santouka is one of the better chains of authentic Japanese ramen around.
I like this food court format, easy, reasonably priced, quick.
I had the miso and it was excellent!!!
The ramen too is priced right. $12.95 for small, $13.95 for medium and $15 for large.
Shio – it certainly has a lighter flavor than the Miso one but Miso will taste better in my opinion
There is a special – shrimp and pork wonton for $7. It had a decent taste, thought I felt it was a bit overpriced for what it is.

Employee was very nice! I ordered a spicy miso combo with rice and an egg and ended up getting someone else’s order which wasn’t the same soup or size i had ordered 🙁 Food is usually great though!

You wouldn’t expect a food court ramen stall to have food this delicious, but their salt ramen is usually so creamy and delicious it has been my go to for rough days. I never felt compelled to write a review, however, until the first time my food went wrong. I received my regular order, combo c with salt ramen broth, an extra cap of pork fat had started to wrinkle over the top of my normally picture perfect bowl. Like many ramen enthusiasts, I like to admire my bowl before I eat it. This time, the fat cap was extra, perhaps it could be a good thing, I thought. I had enjoyed my natto first—it had come out perfectly foamy and warm; I thought maybe this was just a very fatty cut of pork. I leaned in to smell my bowl, and it was unmistakable but benefit of the doubt for a place that had delivered such quality won out. I ignored the slightly fishy, very stale smell and took my first taste of the broth. It tasted like freezer burned meat instead of the creamy broth I had come to love. I’m not not one to complain, so it took some encouragement from my partner before I walked up to politely let them know their food today was not on par with what I had had before. “No returns” was the only response. That’s fine, I thought. I had just come to let them know something had changed. I went back to my seat after considering buying another meal at the other stalls, but the smell was overwhelming and nothing seen so appetizing as what I had wanted to order and eat in the first place. I took the bowl back and asked if there were no returns, then maybe could I have the bowl remade. The whole kitchen watched as I approached, I felt ogled. The person at the counter had already sneered when she said no returns but when I asked if they could at least look at the bowl themselves and see if it was to their own standards she asked for the chef. The man came out and mocked me. Literally, he took on a demanding tone and started mimicking me when I’d pause. I came with an apologetic tone because don’t like to complain and do like their food, but I had to remind him that I was being polite with him and deserved the same. In the end he asked what I wanted them to do about it,”. He refused to smell or taste the broth, saying pork is pork. He wouldn’t change out the ramen but he said he’d replace the pork. I told him if we could just get a new pork and broth I’d be fine. It was only that much more disappointing though when the new pork and broth didn’t have the same smell as my bowl did. I tried to move the noodles over to new broth but the stale flavor had already worked itself into the noodles. Normally it’s a great ramen spot, but the one experience I’ve had of it being less than perfect was one of my worst customer experiences ever.

Real good ramen, good thick pork, noodle is just right, rich broth, very savoury (salty). Friendly staff. Went here after lunch peak hour, so no queue but still lots people in food court.
Last time had this one was 7yrs ago in Chicago and NY. Worth a try.

Possibly the best ramen in the area. Get the salt ramen. The soup has a deep richness with some hint of fermentation, possibly miso or mirin. The pork belly is tender and fresh. The toppings varied and were complimentary. Pricing is a great deal. Overall, such a hidden gem for the area

I can’t believe this place exists! Shoyu Ramen is my favorite ramen. $15 for medium bowl. Tastes authentic. Very addicting I wish they have this place in every city.

I don’t understand the high reviews. Ramen is meh. Soup is rich, but the noodles are bitter, the chashu is mostly fat and they only give one. Bamboo tastes like ammonia. Also cash only
