" Visited Kontentsu after hearing a lot of buzz, and it lived up to the hype. Had the spicy ramen and was floored by how satisfying and flavorful it was. The ambiance was cozy yet vibrant. It’s a little pricier than typical ramen places I've been to, but the quality is indisputable. I’ll be back for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" I’ve been coming to Kontentsu for years, and it remains one of my favorite ramen spots. The tonkotsu ramen always hits the spot with plenty of umami. It’s heavily packed with garlic, which I adore! I have tried some of their other items too, like the gyoza, which are delicious! The staff is always helpful and friendly, and the ambiance is nice. Highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

While the space can feel a little tight and busy, the delicious food makes up for it. Highly recommended for anyone in South Pasadena! " (*Curated Review*)

" After hearing great reviews, I finally tried this restaurant. I ordered the spicy kimchi ramen and it was fantastic! The flavors were well-balanced, and the ramen noodles had the perfect chewiness. My friend had the poke ramen and loved it too. The ambiance was laid-back, making it a great spot for relaxed dining. I'll definitely recommend it to others. " (*Curated Review*)

" A lovely experience at Kontentsu! The ramen was authentic, the broth deliciously layered, and the service was exceptional. We went for a late lunch and were pleasantly surprised by how quickly our food arrived. The ambiance was nice, but it did get a bit crowded. Still, it was well worth the wait! " (*Curated Review*)

" Last week, I took my family to Kontentsu, and it was a delightful experience! We tried a variety of dishes, including ramen and shared sides like tempura and brussels sprouts. The rich flavors of the tonkotsu ramen had my kids raving long after we left. The service was prompt and polished, making us feel welcome. We're definitely fans and will visit again soon!
