Had the tonkotsu ramen and takoyaki
Ramen was surprisingly good although the chashu and the egg were cold. The noodles were REALLY WELL COOKED and the broth was rich but not too salty
The takoyaki was perfectly cooked, crispy and delicious
Will be back for sure!!!!
Authentic Japanese quality ramen in an atmosphere that makes me feel like I’m in small town Nippon.
I enjoyed the Tsukimi-Chashu-Yatai and substituted chicken chasu for the pork chasu. Rich flavorful broth, not salty, and lots of toppings—seaweed, grated yam, egg, onion, and of course chicken.
Highly recommend for flavorful dining
The atmosphere is cozy and unpretentious, with the warm, inviting buzz of a neighborhood favorite. Service is consistently friendly and efficient — you’re greeted with a smile, seated quickly, and your food arrives steaming hot in minutes.
The ramen is the star here. The Tonkotsu broth is rich, creamy, and full of depth without being overly salty. Noodles are perfectly springy, soaking up the broth without getting mushy. The chashu pork practically melts in your mouth, and the seasoned egg is spot-on with a perfectly jammy yolk.
Beyond ramen, the menu offers excellent sides — the gyoza are crisp and flavorful, and the karaage chicken is golden, juicy, and addictive.
Prices are fair for the quality, portions are generous, and you can taste the care in every bowl. Whether you’re a ramen purist or just looking for a satisfying comfort meal, Jidaiya delivers.
Tip: Go early during lunch or dinner rush — it’s a local favorite, and seating can fill up fast.
Nestled in an unassuming strip mall, Jidaiya offers authentic Japanese ramen with broth from various regions with layers of complexity. We really enjoyed Spicy Shio Tonkotsu Noodle. It has a strong toasty sesame flavor that is absorbed by the thick ramen noodles. The Tokyo Shoyu Tsukimi-Yatai was also delicious. It was refreshing, light, yet rich. Don’t forget to upgrade it to a combination with ramen.
Amazing price and value. High quality food. Fast, friendly, and knowledgeable service. Plenty of free parking. Expect to spend $20-25 per person after tax & tip. Definitely a must try!
