Daikokuya El Monte

That is a fantastic restaurant for ramen. I have the spicy Mistel-Ramen and small pig-snell-snell-combination $20.95 and it was delicious! the portions are great and filled me up. much less crowded than her little tokyo location. the staff is friendly and there are free parking on the back.

Great filiale for the famous little Tokyo wheels! no need to wait again in the crazy line in little tokyo!

That's the best gyoza I've ever had. I could eat several of them. the dumplings were tender and crisp at the same time. most places deep freeze them and therefore ruin the taste of the pork inside. the sauce was beautiful and tangy. I also had a california roll that was good. nothing too extraordinary. my son had the rams and I tried them. the pork bell was tender, the suppe was delicious, and the noodles were perfectly cooked. it wasn't as hot as I expected. he ordered a combi, so he also asked for the Sashimi shell. it was bigger than he expected. he was impressed by the tenderness of the salmon. my son, and I had garnish. they were different and good. the sauce with which it came was delicious. my son also has an salad to go with his food. the dressing on this salad was different, but delicious. first it looked dressed, but after mixing with the cauliflower it was exactly right. I also tried a little teriyaki. it was different than most teriyaki I had. the chicken was fried and the sauce was not salty at all. it was really good. I will come back in definitiw.

Great place and people working at Daikokuya. Lunch special needs to be larger.

Staff was so friendly and helpful in my selection. The ramen was amazing!! And you can create your own level of spice!
