Junpuu

Only the best gluten free ramen I've had in over a decade. And in Hawaii, who would have thought!? Wasn't even going to stop by given we already just had Giovanni's but 'twas right around the corner so why not? Ordered it as takeout and indulged in approx 1-hour later, and wow, what a treat!Eggy type, chewy texture thick but not too thick medium thickness noodles. Texture in Italian terms "al dente"--it just has to be made in-house, I'm aware their other non gluten free ramen is made in house but not sure for the GF version. Ordered the garlic ramen and it included my favorite bamboo shoots and green onions and I was slurping up the broth. Please bring yourselves to LA, thank you for this rare treat!

Available parking in the back, reasonable prices and yummy food! On a Saturday afternoon we decided to head over to Junpuu to try their food. They do not take reservations and the interior is on the smaller side but there is limited outside seating. Staff are super friendly and with good service.We ordered extra large miso ramen, homemade chips, and char sui quesadilla. Everything came up quickly and hot. The homemade potato chips were so good and were thin, crispy and salted. The char sui quesadilla was generous with lots meat with a salad and sour cream with salsa on the side. The ramen noodles were perfectly al dente and soup nicely flavored. We heard tan tan was popular but will try next time. Overall very good experience and will be back. Happy to see a small business offering good, reasonable food with friendly smiles!

I have passed by this place multiple times while driving past McCully High School or biking on the bike lane in King St. This place has been here for years and I never knew it was a ramen restaurant, I thought it was a cafe!Anyway, I took my family here to eat dinner. Service was great, however, I came in blind and did not do any research before our seating. The inside is nice and modern, we sat on a table with high chairs and the ambiance was pleasant. The menu is pretty small, and the variety of ramen they offered was a little sparse. By far the garlic tonkatsu ramen was the best. The soup was delicious and the meat was juicy. They serve pretty decent ramen, however, the portion was a little small for my family- that was our only complaint. Perhaps we should have ordered a large ramen, but other ramen places we've been to do not charge for larger portions and give much more for the same price.It was nothing too mind-blowing, a good and affordable ramen place. Place is OK but I would not go out of my way to come back.

I really like this ramen shop because it can accomodate my non-meat eating friends with veggie ramen and veggie gyoza options.Indoor and outdoor seating available, I just don't like metal stools for seating.Food is tasty, staff is friendly, and they always give us extra napkins.

Service is always nice and food is consistently tasty. The spicy gyoza was a bit too salty.

Hole in the wall ramen spot. Metered street parking is available up front. Very small but cozy inside with very cool air conditioning circling the restaurant. Ordered my favorite ramen broth tan tan, tonkotsu ramen(they got our order wrong and gave miso instead but didn't care at that point because we also like miso). Also ordered takoyaki as our appetizer. Tan tan is tasty, good spicy kick to it. Broth was flavorful! It had spinach for the greens in it which i rarely eat but it paired well with the ramen. The miso ramen is tasty, can't go wrong with that and the meat had mostly fat on it though. Takoyaki was tasty but i've had better at other places. Service was good. After dropping off food, they checked up on us twice and even gave us extra napkins. Overall, it satisfied my ramen fix for the day.

I liked that it was BYOB and the staff were friendly. It was also easy to find a street parking right in front of the restaurant.Unfortunately, they made a mistake on my order - different toppings, so they took the ramen back, and I believe just switched the toppings. So by the time I ate, it wasn't hot and noodles sucked some soup up already. Disappointed.Gyoza was tasty, but the wrapper broke pretty easily. There might have been too much moisture on one side, although it looks crispy on the side shown in the picture.Overall, it was a good experience, but I think there are things that can be worked on.

Have tried a bunch more ramen in town and Junpuu needs an upgrade to 5 stars!! Super fast/friendly service, generous portions, perfectly cooked noodles, broths with depth and interest. I've now tried their tomato broth (sounds strange but is actually quite refreshing!) and their cold dandan noodles (sesame-based, over a bed of salad) and these two are my go-to orders when I want noodles for lunch, but want to keep it lighter. Don't wait, try Junpuu!!

Pretty good variety of ramen that comes with many toppings and other unique pupus. I don't often get ramen, but this is one of the best spots that I've heard that opens a little later! *PARKING*- plenty street parking - parking lot, but may be limited in a busy afternoon**SPICY LOVERS ALERT**What's pretty cool is that this place offer difference spicy levels that is adjusted to your liking, but beware, they do charge on how spicy! Plus for their ramen, you can choose regular, large, or extra large! - Garlic Tonkotsu Ramen ($15.95) is so scrumptious with all the bamboo shoots, char siu, and garlic oil. With all those toppings, it definitely makes this a meal since it makes you pretty full! - Spicy Cheese Gyoza ($8.50) is not really spicy, but taste like there's tomato instead like a pizza instead. - Charsiu Quesadilla ($8.50 half portion / $14.95 full portion: pretty good and unique from the type of fusion quesadillas that I've had. I would definitely recommend giving it a try!

Decent ramen. I loved the flavor of the char-siu; I just wish there were more of it! (Maybe spring for the extra...) There were plenty of noodles - always a plus - with good texture. I wasn't keen on the amount of raw red onion piled on top. The winter squash was the most flavorful of the seasonal vegetables that I added to my bowl. It's a fairly small place with both indoor and outdoor seating. There seemed to be enough street parking. It's also BYOB.
