Oishi Kitchen

Ordered their Tonkotsu ramen and popcorn karaage chicken. I'd say 7 out of 10. Im very strict reviewing Ramen since a lot of my family members used to work as a ramen chef and I been to many ramen spots in LA and Washington. Their broth base taste slightly bland and not as creamy as I thought. Their ultra spicy paste is solid but quite expensive for a small little paste of it. My spice tolerance is very high and their spicy paste is just right at 5 out of 10 spiciness level. It feels as if they use angel hair type of noodle, very thin and soft, which I really like. Their popcorn chicken karaage breading is okay, nothing too fancy. Service is almost non existant. I asked the young lady if they got any wifi I could use since I just got here from Washington and Tmobile is really bad but she said she does not know the password. Fair. No water served at all either. You put the dishes back to a basket they prep for you. The young lady never came up to you to ask if everything was good either. She was just on the phone call with someone almost the entire time and went back inside, no one else was outside until a new customer showed up and a different lady came up to greet them. I shouldve given no tips tbh but it is what it is. Would I come back? Maybe, in the far future. But only to go. Oh they charge $1.50 for to go. Pricing is alright. Definitely cannot compare this to anything like Tatsu ramen, Tsujita or Kizuki. It's 3.5 out of 5 at best. People who give 5 out of 5 for their ramen really have never tasted other ramen in the West Coast.

We tried the spicy beef buns, Takayuki (octopus balls), and chicken karage. No ramen. All the food tasted great. Small counter-service place located near a fuel depot. Worthwhile to visit and have lunch.
