" I recently visited Daikokuya El Monte and was thrilled with my experience. The ramen was bursting with flavor, and the broth was rich and savory. I loved the texture of the noodles, which were cooked to perfection. The service was pleasant and the staff was attentive. The restaurant had a cozy and inviting atmosphere, making it a perfect spot to hang out with friends. I can't wait to go back for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" Visiting Daikokuya was an absolute treat. Their ramen brought back memories of my time in Japan! Every bite was packed with flavor. The chashu pork was melt-in-your-mouth tender, and the broth was superb. A friend had the chicken karaage and could not stop raving about it. Additionally, the decor transported me back to Japan - it really felt authentic! I did notice the portion sizes were a bit on the smaller side, but that's just a minor detail in an otherwise fantastic experience. Highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" The ramen at Daikokuya El Monte is excellent! I tried their spicy miso ramen and it was rich and satisfying. One thing I particularly liked was the way they offer back fat as an optional addition; it definitely enhances the flavor. While the portion was decent, I felt a little more would have made it perfect for my hunger level. The restaurant itself had good vibes, a bit of a chill atmosphere which I enjoyed. Will definitely return soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" I'm a huge fan of ramen and Daikokuya has become a top contender for my favorites. The soup base was rich and filled with umami; you can tell they take pride in their authentic recipes. The service was quick even as the place got busier. I enjoyed the cozy yet energetic environment. This place is perfect for a relaxing evening filled with delicious eats. " (*Curated Review*)

" My visit to Daikokuya El Monte left me with mixed feelings. The food quality was solid; I enjoyed the gyoza and the ramen was flavorful. The ambiance was nice, and the place was clean. However, the service could have been faster. It felt like we waited a while to get our orders taken. Overall, I would give it another shot because I believe the food quality shines!

" Daikokuya offers a solid ramen experience! I enjoyed their original ramen combo and felt satisfied afterward. The broth was rich and delicious, though not as rich as I anticipated after all the hype. The service was pleasant, and the décor was lovely, a nice blend of traditional and modern. I would suggest they amp up the portion sizes a bit, but otherwise, I had a good time! " (*Curated Review*)

" I frequent ramen spots and decided to give Daikokuya El Monte a try. The authenticity of their ramen stood out to me. From the rich broth to the perfectly cooked noodles, it seemed like I was enjoying a meal right in Tokyo. I also appreciated how clean the place was. The only downside? I wish they had a larger menu selection. I'll definitely keep coming here for my ramen fix. " (*Curated Review*)
