It was quite easy to get a seat either inside or outside, not sure if it was because it was a late Sunday evening dinner. Tried the Roasted Duck Noodle Soup Hand Made Noodle - it was thick - and bland  Soup - not too strong or salty, but just a light taste which I really like Roasted Duck - OK it was pretty much a normal Duck you get in Chinatown One comment though I feel like I would have just wanted the Duck as part of the BBQ Platter with Rice :( Customer Service - they were very attentive and nice - quite different from your usual Chinese stalls you usually go to. Roast Duck Noodle Soup Apparently, one of the must-trys of Washington DC Thrillist  (In one of the 50 Things to Eat in DC) "Located

Overall - Not the best but it is good and definitely a must-try Thrillist  (In one of the 50 Things to Eat in DC) SHOYU  RAMEN Daikaya  CHINATOWN   The Daikaya team -- Daisuke Utagawa, Chef Katsuya Fukushima, and Yama Jewayni -- have built a  ramen  empire here with Bantam King, Haikan, and the original, Daikaya. The latter is still the best, offering Sapporo-style  ramen  that is distinguished by its Chintan stock, a clear soup base that requires over 16 hours of preparation to achieve its delicate and complex depth. Daikaya is also one of the only  ramen -yas in DC not to use the ubiquitous Sun noodles, as they’re now one of only two  ramen  shops in the US that use the Nishiyama. ----

Ramen Maruya, Japan Village, Los Angeles

Website: Address: 104 Japanese Village Plaza Mall, Los Angeles, CA 90012 Rating: 4 out of 5 star Feedback: June 8, 2017 Ordered CHASU Ramen which was in the posters in the restaurant and their most popular food on the menu Noodle was good - thin and firm Soup - broth was nice and full Eggs - wasn't really like a japanese egg - lack the kind of consistency that I am looking for.  It is more just like a half boiled egg. Chasu - not bad but it was reallllly too much for me.  It was thinly sliced and easy to eat. Kinda like it. Cost 15.95 so tad expensive for Ramen but it's a lot of Chasu. Takoyaki Tempura Too oily and not really my thing for me.

NOTE : not all places do Self Serve.  The one in Cerritos doesn't do it! Ordered a meal combo Fried Rice and Popcorn Chicken love the Fried Rice Popcorn Chicken was so much better than Quickly's Really good shaved snow ice. Even considered as the best by LA Weekly . Mini Shaved Ice was already big enough I also requested to put the Condensed milk as a side - honestly - you do not need it anymore as it's too sweet. Matcha - I like it! Mochi in Matcha - was not too chewy though, I guess it got frozen?! This is large.. super BIG!!! Self-serve Boba Toppings! All the options for TEA Menu!
