Kotsu Ramen & Gyoza Riverside

Flavorful dinner!! We had quite a feast, and left very pleased with everything we order. We ordered the chicken karaage , hai five, the kick, Tori O G & a kids ramen. Loved the fact that they had a kids menu, however the portion of their Ramen for kids was just about the same size as an adult portion, which isn’t so bad if you like to have leftover. The place was clean and inviting. Our waitress was kind and very knowledgeable about the menu and gave us some great advice on their menu. Will be back for sure, those chicken Karaage were our favorite.

It was bomb. The ramen was really good and good quantity! However I got the katsu rice bowl and “curry it up” and that was the best rice bowl I’ve ever had

Ordered Karaage rice bowl with curry. Great portion size for just $12-14

I'm really surprised at the low reviews! This place is legitimately my new favorite ramen place in Riverside.
I got the tonyu flame which is a vegan/plant based one. It comes with roasted Brussels sprouts, corn, tofu, and chili threads. Super spicy but sooo good!
My boyfriend had one with chicken chashu (in the Tori flame I believe) and was seriously losing his mind over how good it was.
We will definitely be back!

Very nice place for 🍜. The 🔥 🌶 was just right for my taste. Friendly service with a clean modern atmosphere. I'll be back. Brussel sprouts were delish. 🙂👍

The noodles, toppings, protein, and broth are all on point here.
Very rich in flavor and the staff are always so friendly
For 2 people getting the deluxe option for the ramen, 2 drinks, and tip is usually 50 bucks. Not too shabby and hands down one of my favorite eateries. The amount that you get is better than any other local ramen spots
Always on point

We tried each type of bowl, pork at lowest spice, vegan at medium, chicken at high spice. They were all delicious. The gyoza were all very good as well. Definitely returning. I personally had the vegan ramen bowl and it was absolutely delicious.

Great new Ramen place. I haven't tried Ramen in Riverside yet but this is my new go to spot. I had the Kotsu and my wife had the Tori but we both preferred Kotsu spicy.

The staff was attentive, place is clean, music was at a nice level.

5/5

Pretty good. I was waiting for my haircut appointment nearby and decided to grab a bite. Got the Matcha Madness Kotsu bowl and was satisfied with it overall. Not heavy or oversalted like a bunch of ramen spots nearby tend to do, so you can actually enjoy the subtle flavors.
Will visit again in hopes of a similar, if not better meal experience!

We are new to the Ramen experience. The young gentleman was very patient as he helped us order. The place was very clean and the booths were comfortable. Everything was delicious with generous portions. Thank you!

A quiet sit down and eat ramen chain. You pay first at the cashier and sit down to wait for your food to be brought out. I got the curry tonyu ramen which is the plant based curry ramen they have. It had a very good spice and the charred brussel sprouts were a welcome and delicious addition. My only slight was the tofu was nothing spectacular or prepared in a special or custom way. It was good as it was fried on the outside but that was it. A good chain to come sit down and eat ramen and not be disturbed.

Im definitely surprised of the low reviews this place has cause my experience was absolutely great! The staff was friendly and helpful from start to finish. The gyoza we had as a starter was pretty good and we got the kotsu flame ramen. The ramen was very delicious and our ramen wasn’t oily, starchy, or cold like some people are saying. The only draw back was that the soda fountain was down so we had to pay for a new soda can every time but it was like a dollar so no big problem with that just inconvenient. I’d definitely recommend coming here and I’ll be returning in the future for sure!

Great new place just opened. Spicy chicken ramen is bomb. Great chicken broth and the chicken meatballs are yummy. Def gonna come back fo sho!

Kotsu pork with curry was good and brought out nice and hot. Dining area is a little dark but everything is clean.

Good ramen. Seems to have an Indian twist on it. Just doesn’t automatically come with corn on all bowls. 1 dollar for corn or 3 for meat.

My kids and I loved it! Super nice staff and delicious food. The kids love the ramen. The only thing I would recommend is a simple chicken and broth kids portion option. At $14 it can be pricey for them both but we make the best of it and they don’t mind the leftovers the next day.

I had The Flame and made it deluxe. The broth was so flavorful. The Pork Cahshu was AMAZING! So tender and was perfection. The $3 to make the Ramen deluxe is well worth it. You get extra meat and another half egg. The soft boiled egg is wonderfully delicious. They have only been open for a few hours as they are a new place and I couldn't be happier with the food and service.

This place is cute.

It has really nice food and the aesthetic is cool. It’s very new york or maybe Tokyo with lots of cute neon signs.

The food was amazing!

Amazing ramen spot! Super convenient, too which is a bonus. Ordering online for pickup was really easy. It was hot and tasty when I got it home. Super creamy pork broth with lots of flavor. And the pork was amazing. Highly recommend!

Can’t help but to review while I’m slurping away on this delicious ramen. I ordered the tonkutsu ramen and some unfiltered sake. It is savory. The eggs were cooked flawlessly, the noodles are very succulent and Cooked incredibly well and the broth…I don’t normal want to finish ramen with the broth but I just might with how much depth and love was put into this. Thank you ramen master.
