For a few years now I have heard rave reviews about this small ramen shop. I remember reading through Tone's Maxim Magazine and it was voted the best ramen house in LA (wow what a huge statement!) Even a client of mine said I had to experience this scrumptious ramen house for myself. So after years of waiting, I found myself having dinner here with my sorority family. I didn't know what to expect, and I definitely didn't want the hype to ruin my experience, so I tried to kept an open mind. Unfortunately, Daikokuya fell short for me. I thought the ramen was mediocre, but it wasn't fair that the side dishes stole the show. I wouldn't mind going back again, but it wouldn't be my first choice.

| If you order a combo (half sized ramen and rice bowl) you get a small salad of shredded cabbage and a mayo based dressing |
 |
| House-made Gyoza topped with scallions and served with a light soy sauce. I loved the crispy sides and pork filling inside. |
 |
| This Pork Fried Rice was by far one of the most flavorful and tastiest fried rice I have had in a very long time. In all honestly, I liked this fried rice more than my ramen and I wasn't the only one that felt this way! |

| Pork based ramen, Daikokuya's specialty, it was definitely tasty, but I have had better. I did fall in love with the soft boiled egg, the yolk was half boiled and a bit runny.. the BEST part of the ramen in my opinion. |
