We got there around lunch time and not busy at all. The servers were quick to attend and friendly.
The ramen were soba and my Tonkatsu had a lot of meat in it
The meat was firm but tinder, and the vegetables’ taste mixed into the broth and made it really tasty!!
The broth were not too salty and since we were hungry really hot the spot.
There is also plenty outside seating and perfect location since at the corner ‘prime location’ in the plaza.
Would come back again.

Went last night for dinner and we got some sushi handrolls and some ramen. Service was great. We had tuna and salmon hand rolls and we had spicy tantanmen and I had the Yamadaya ramen. Excellent flavor and the Spicy Tantanmen was not spicy 3nough but not crazy hot. Spent just over $60 with drinks. Will definitely come back again.

The Agedashi Tofu sauce and Udon broth was watered down but the sushi was surprisingly good. Okay place if you want some very standard Japanese food that’s not really worth mentioning.
Honestly would have gone somewhere else if I had just taken a moment to look up other restaurants in the area.

Ramen Yamadaya is the perhaps the best ramen in LA, and maybe all of America? Tucked in away in charming and cutesy Japan town, Ramen Yamadaya is clean, modern, and casual. Friendly staff, and the
food comes up pretty fast!
$9 Karaage…traditional Japanese fried chicken, yamadaya’s is perfect with a nice thin crispy batter keeping that juicy succlent chicken meat. Nicely portioned nuggets for sharing.
$17 The signature Yamdaay ramen bowl is bowl of joy. The rich, thick, creamy pork broth is so warming and enriching. the meaty, salty, kakuni braised pork belly slices melt in your mouth. The noodles are thin, firm, and chewy, perfectly absorbing that that savory delicious ramen broth. The soy soaked seasoned egg is a delight.
There used to be a location in my hometown of San Diego…sad it didn’t survive! 🙁

Ramen Yamadaya is a chic ramen restaurant in Little Tokyo with decent ramen and chirashi bowl and sushi options. Plus, there are a lot of cool Dragonball figurines on shelves at the back of the restaurant! I found that very exciting!
Here’s what I recommend you order:
* Yamadaya ramen ($18): ample serving of ramen with chashu, nori, soft boiled egg, fried shallots, and more. I got it with the spicy paste as well.
* Chirashi ($32): decent quality chirashi bowl with chef choice of sashimi and tamago over sushi rice. Very filling and easy to share with 2 people.
We didn’t have to wait to be seated. This was great because on the weekends, all the other places in Little Tokyo had huge waits outside.

Staff are very friendly, courteous and attentive even though it was busy.
Gyoza was just okay.
Tonkotsu Ramen – broth was the best part because it had a rich pork flavor.
Miso Ramen – above average
The pork in the Ramen was cooked and seasoned well. The noodles weren’t that great.

Originally I was trying to go to Kura sushi next door, but after seeing there was a 90 minute wait, I decided to look nearby and stumbled into this joint.
It did not disappoint! I got a mega mug draft Sapporo, some Takoyaki, and the miso ramen. Definitely not the best ramen I’ve ever had, but it was still really good. Service was really good as well, there was no wait to be seated.
Overall would recommend you try this place, especially if you’re not wanting to wait for Kura sushi.

I was really disappointed with my experience at Ramen Yamadaya. The service was extremely slow, and we waited a long time just to get our food, even though it wasn’t very busy.
On top of that, the food honestly wasn’t worth the price we ended up paying. Portions and quality did not match the cost.
The biggest issue was that they automatically added a $16 gratuity without properly explaining it upfront, which felt forced considering the poor service. Also, the menu pricing was misleading — we were charged more than what was listed.
Overall, not a great experience and I don’t think I’ll be coming back.
