Service is always great food is spot on. Really simple menu that doesn't disappoint. Nice portions that are just enough to sustain you for a good long time. Both broth and noodles are rich and perfect. (BTW, there is plenty of ground pork at the bottom of the bowl)Late hours are great Sunday to Thursday 11 am to midnight (last call is 11:30), Friday and Saturday last order is 1:30 am.After a night of fun this is the way to close it out. I ordered the spicy ramen again and it didn't disappoint. CARDS ONLY!! THEY DO NOT ACCEPT CASH!!

I've been on a ramen binge and spent the past year looking for the best ramen spots and though I still have not managed to find the tip top of the ramen game, I highly recommend Tomizo Ramen.Friend & I were craving ramen, went to one, sat and ordered then my friend pointed out their B rating. We don't mess around with that stuff so we skedaddled and prayed there was another ramen spot nearby...We searched and thankfully found another ramen spot right around the corner and that's how we landed at Tomizo Ramen!First off, for a Saturday night, it was pretty dead and I blame the location. Although it's just around the corner from a mini outdoor food court, the parking here was super scarce, 5 spaces max - although street parking is available bit who wants to parallel park on a busy street on a Saturday night? Anyway...Went inside - zero wait - and the interior is super cute and cozy, but also very small so I would not recommend large groups, however, it is perfect for a date night / intimate hangout. Ordered some - in my opinion, very cheap - ramen. $12 I believe, I have not seen anything under $15-20 range and the portion was about the same as any other spot. The ramen was pretty simple, we did not add any additional toppings so there wasn't a mess in our bowls but simplicity is best. The broth was delicious. Ramen was so good my "let's catch up on our day" hangout was spent in complete silence apart from the noodles slurping. Wish I lived a little closer as I'd be a regular here. For the price and quality - quality was among the top of ramen I've tried, it was awesome - I'd say it's completely worth trying and revisiting!Looking forward to the next time and hope to bring along more friends, thank you for having us!

Came here around 7:30pm on a weekday night. Tomizo has great reviews and was nearby so decided to eat here. I ordered the Tomizo ramen, which is limited to 5 bowls a night. Two were available but my friend didn't want Tomizo ramen because they can't separate the bean sprouts. The Tomizo ramen is in-my-opinion, mostly veggies and two small meats. If you love veggies, this ramen is great. There's probably same amount of veggies as the noodles. I couldn't finish the ramen but I also should have gotten a different ramen. I enjoy vegetables but wouldn't want to eat veggie ramen. Service is great. Interior is a bit small. I also ordered chashu rice bowl which they forgot to serve me (and they didn't charge me for it). i'm glad because the noodles and veggies were filling.

This is one of the later night options in the South Bay to eat at that stays open. The food was good, but I sort of feel with the pricing the portions could be a bit larger (more noodles) to make this an alluring destination dining restaurant option to crave on both impulse or planning. Noodles are relatively inexpensive, so I don't think it's an unreasonable business plan to attract more customers (unless the goal is to get bigger orders of more food, as the Chicken Karaage is good!).It's tasty and good, but I think if you just order a bowl of ramen and it's a main meal (lunch or dinner) you might want something else to add to your order to get satisfied or full.

Really love this spot and their ramen! Also appreciate that on Fridays and Saturdays they are open decently late which is perfect if you get out of a late concert or fly in kind of late and are looking for a dinner spot. I came here with my mom and husband after our concert at the Kia forum on a Saturday night and this place really hit the spot. We jumped on their waitlist and were seated not too long afterwards. I had their spicy miso ramen and it was delicious! I always appreciate that the broth is flavorful without feeling like it's too heavy. Noodles are chewy and delicious! Ambiance is casual and they have both bar seating and tables.

Good quality ramen that stays open late is definitely a good option for those that have late night munchies. My wife and I stopped by after watching a movie and we opted for the #3 Spicy Miso and the #4 miso butter corn scallop ramen. Both dishes had bold rich broth, but the miso butter broth was richer of the two. Both dishes came with perfectly cooked al dente noodles that perfectly picked up the broth with each bite. The #4 is definitely the better of the two choices because with just a few extra dollars your getting a bunch of extra ingredients and overall is a better ramen dish with richer and bolder flavors. The extra scallops raises the ramen in to a whole new level of excess. I will definitely be back to try the mazemen and tsukemen.FYI NO CASH!! Credit Card ONLY...

My friend and I ate here for dinner on a not-so-typical Tuesday night. We were immediately seated and chose the bar area as we arrived at 7:30pm. The restaurant's ambiance is certainly cozy and modern. I ordered a non-spicy Miso Ramen while my friend opted for Miso Butter Ramen with corn and chili oil. Our orders were ready within 10 minutes and the lady behind the bar was very accommodating. She was kind enough to take a few pictures for us. The ramen bowls were truly appetizing and instagram worthy. The ramen noodles were freshly cooked, the vegetables were crisp while the pork slices were absolutely tender. At first, I thought I needed more broth, but it definitely had a perfect umami taste and realized the portions were just right. It legitimately tasted like the ramen I had in Japan a few years ago. On another note, I truly dig their decorations and dedication to Shohei Ohtani, our legendary Dodger! Thanks to my friend and wonderful experience here, Tomizo Ramen will now be my go-to restaurant for authentic ramen in the South Bay!

One of my favorite ramen spots in Southern California, Tomizo Ramen, serves authentic Hokkaido-style ramen, and you can taste the authenticity in the broth. It's a small hole-in-the-wall restaurant with mostly bar seating and is open late. The owner, Tom, is a massive fan of Ohtani and the Dodgers, so if you are a Dodger fan, you will love the decor of this place. All staff here are helpful and polite, including Stephen, Chihiro, and Koji. I have tried the Miso Ramen, which was great, and the broth was very flavorful, but the star of the show for me was the Miso Butter Corn Scallop Ramen. It was salty, and you could taste the butter a lot! I've never had ramen like this before. The Chicken Kaarage is also great, very crispy, and they have different mayos for your liking. I have also tried their gyoza, which is soft, and they also handmake it.

My very first impression was that parking is very limited! The restaurant is also very small. Bar seating and a couple of tables. Feels a little tight inside.The servers were great! They were so nice about explaining the menu. I ordered the limited tomizo bowl because I couldn't help that it was exclusive. The bowl definitely lived up to the description that it is huge!! It really can feed two people! The broth is very savory and strong garlic flavor. The noodles are thick noodles. It was a bit overwhelming for me! Though it tasted very good, I think next time I will try a different bowl. I like the classic toppings with corn, seaweed, bamboo, egg, etc. This bowl had a lot of baggage and onion. I thought the takoyaki was delicious! It came out very hot! I think next time I will try a different ramen! Tomizo was savory and flavorful, but I thought the cabbage took over the bowl.

Really cozy restaurant. The service was amazing and attentive. The garlic edamame was amazing ! Loved the Spicy Miso Ramen ! They even have a kids menu with a free side for just $5.00, can't beat that. The handmade gyoza was the highlight ! The prices are very reasonable and the food was fresh and delicious. Definitely recommend this place for hearty Japanese meal on the go.
