We've been coming here for the last few years because everything is so flavorful and the staff is always so welcoming.
I find myself continuing to eat well after I'm already full because it tastes sooo good! The broths are so yummy they don't even need the other delicious additions they put in there. The Mabo Ramen is my personal favorite - I get mine w/ a poached egg.
It's not a fancy place, but I like that they support local artists (of all painting styles) by displaying their works on the walls, which are for sale. Some I like better than others, but art is subjective - to each their own.
Give this place a try. I can promise you it's better than any other local Ramen spots around here. -

Looked up Ramen close to the freeway and found this 4 star Ramen place. Reviews looked promising, but the Ramen was subpar. Nothing amazing about the volcano Ramen and actually tastes like those instant Ramen packages that are considered a step up from the basic cheap Ramen.
It was empty when I came in and the place is far from being fancy. I sat against the right wall and noticed the paint on the wall had ripped marks and tons of holes... Also, the wall/ table molding was breaking apart. Looks like they could at least make it look somewhat kept up. That particular wall with all the holes in the wall alongside the dirty looking wall gave me a grimey feeling when you face the wall. On the top of that wall are 7 or 8 strange abstract looking paintings that give a creepy vibe. It's like paintings of people in agony, super weird. I wish I took a picture to share, but maybe another user posted it. They are even on sale... Definitely does not fit the decor or a Ramen restaurant imo.
The katsu was okay, 3/5, the Ramen was 2/5,and the ambience inside is a 2/5. Customer service not really existant once you get your food. I was never once asked how the meal was or an offer to fill up the water.
Only come here if you're really craving instant Ramen inside a restaurant space. -

Small menu, specializing in Ramen. Broth is delicious, especially the Volcano bowl. Flavors are well developed and balanced. The chili oil will definitely creep up on you if you're not used to it or are not adept at eating spicy soup. Proteins range from ground pork, katsu (Panko breaded) chicken or pork, chopped chicken, and pork dumplings. You can do add ons in your bowl as well.
A great side is the chicken fried rice. Not super greasy like some Chinese food places, but packed with flavor.
Drinks are sakes, and a couple local craft beers.
Service is friendly and accommodating. Wait times for food can be upwards of 40 minutes during peak hours. Don't come here if you're in a big hurry. -

Volcano Ramen !!!!
Tiki is the best ramen restaurant in Ventura county a little whole in the wall , it gets crowded worth the wait . The broth is so good so many flavors . -

Love this place the first two times I came here half a year ago, but ever since then they have always been closed for something. Anyone know when are they reopening from repairs?
