Tamaya

Very good Ramen place.I had the tonkatsu Ramen with corn.When we entered, we were one of two tables filled, out of about eight. Within five minutes the restaurant was full with people waiting outside. Not a large place, but somewhat of a large price for Ramen. The egg in the Ramen was nice and the flavor was good. I didn't taste much substance to the meat. The staff were friendly and quick to tend to water refills and iced tea refills. I was not disappointed.

Tamaya holds a special place in my life, filled with countless memories and stories. As a piano teacher, when I was younger and pregnant with my daughter, I spent my weekends traveling to my students' homes for lessons. During lunch breaks, my favorite thing was to enjoy a steaming bowl of ramen at Tamaya all by myself.Time flies, and now my daughter is in her twenties. Like me, she has explored various ramen restaurants, but her favorite remains Tamaya. Among the many dishes we've tried, we both love the Shoyu Ramen, no meat, less salt, and sometimes with a flavored egg. The noodles are always cooked to perfection, with just the right amount of chew, and the broth is light yet full of flavor. Paired with their amazing cabbage and pork-filled gyoza, we both agree that the simplest dishes often showcase a restaurant's true craftsmanship.I've visited Japan nine times, and my favorite experience is walking to a ramen place at night, savoring the unique charm that only Japan can offer. Tamaya, with its cozy, family-like atmosphere, often transports me back to those cherished moments in Japan. It's no wonder I've introduced all my family, friends, and colleagues to what I believe is the most authentic and delicious ramen in Los Angeles.The staff--Masa, Kiyo, and Masumi--are incredibly friendly, always welcoming us with warm smiles and exceptional service that makes the experience even more special. Thank you for being there and letting your ramen bring such comfort and joy to our lives!

We had a great meal at Tamaya recently. We ordered a bunch of items for the 3 of us. Portions were generous. Service was fast. Food tasted fresh and well prepared. Tables were turned over relatively quickly. Staff assisted patrons with smiles on their faces. Always a plus when this happens at Asian restaurants. Ian demolished his fried rice (Add on $7.00)and Katsu ($9.30). I polished my karage ($7.50) and soup ($16.75) with ease due to their delicious flavors. Mrs. loved her vegetable broth ($14.50). We recommend this restaurant for your Ramen fix!!

Two adults and one child went to dinner on a Friday night at Tamaya, a Japanese Ramen restaurant inside the same plaza as 85 degrees bakery in Hacienda Heights, California.Kotteri Tonkotsu: best ramen hereKotteri Spicy beef ramen: if you like beef and slightly mild spiciness, more like hint of spicy in the soup.Mini bowl katsudon: $7 add on sweet katsu with egg and rice!This Japanese Ramen spot has been around for a long time and it's a small ramen shop.Service is quick as there is one waitress handling everything. The food tastes good and portions are generous.

Great spot near home when you're looking for something hot and soupy. Just an fyi, the rice used in the musubi, inari, and any other sushi like item is not sushi rice. This works for me as I don't like vinegar, but if you're not expecting regular rice, it can be a surprise. Service is always great, but it gets busy fast.

This place made me love ramen. I had never had authentic ramen and my husband took me here when I first moved to Hacienda heights almost 3 years ago. We now bring out baby here. Best ramen, always hot, good service, relatively quiet. We love the Spicy Beef!

Was surprise with long line for late lunch. This place has been here for long time. Small place so will have long waiting if they have long waitlist. Service quite fast.Food was hit and missed the last time we came here. Kids love their homemade Gyoza. The Tsukemen dipping ramen using the same broth of Tonkatsu. Al dente ramen with good chasu. The Oyako Don tasted great. Same sauce with Katsu Don. Overall, food was good.

Best miso noodle in Hacienda Heights. They are a little thirty with the meat servings. Overall great taste and great service.

My favorite is Chanpon.My wife's favorite is Kotteri Beef Ramen.Appetizer is Gyoza and Karaage or Teriyaki Chicken...This is out Go to place for Ramen.You won't be disappointed.

Always speedy service, the employees care and want to get you your food asap. The ramen is delicious. Kotteri Tonkotsu is delicious.
