Kontentsu South Pasadena

Amazing meal, atmosphere, and service. Had the spicy miso and green bean tempura. Both fantastic and would order again. New favorite place for ramen in South Pas.

Lovely ambience, great service, the very best ramen - rich Tokatsu or spicy miso broth, delicious sides (try the tempura beans, brussel sprouts) saki, beer.

Arrived at 8:15 on a Saturday to find the doors were locked but people were inside dining. A waiter waved us off so we left. 9:00 pm must be the time they're tucked into bed. Adorable.

We have been coming here for years and when we saw the construction and renovation happening we were concerned. But we just went last night with a group of 7 and wow! It is even better. Great menu of new items not just ramen. Ramen is still wonderful but so is the sushi. Highly recommend this spot! Parking: Lots of parking in the Bristol farms lot. Kid-friendliness: Very kid friendly. They have high chairs as well

I will try the thicker noodle and keep you at 5 star then. Since your black ramen broth is out of this world and you sear the pork perfectly.

Solid ramen spot in South Pasadena, great, attentive, chill service on a storm of a Sunday, served food nearly after I placed my order, reasonable prices for portions given, generous on your chashu pork & kimchi for kimchi ramen, appreciate they saved me from overeating & just took the small portion of food I wasn’t able to finish. Broth & noodles were warm with good texture on the noodles. Didn’t even ask for a tip, pleasant surprise beyond the meal before I took off. Ambiance is definitely relaxed and they maintain a clean restroom if you need to use it of course. -would give business again

Food is great. ❤️
