Golden Pork Ton-Kotsu Ramen Bar

Located right off King Street, Golden Pork Tonkatsu Ramen is a great spot to get ramen for dinner. They have three main ramen options including Classic, Spicy Dragon and Black Garlic broth. Spicy Dragon at a number two level was more than enough spice for my spice level. Broth was nice and refreshing. Toppings were adequate and the par boiled eggs were delicious . Overall, service and ramen was delicious. We will make sure to come back and try the other ramen options.

We've been coming here since 2019 and keep coming back here year after year whenever we're on island because it's hands down the best ramen place in our book. We've had ramen in Tokyo, we've had ramen in the OC, and basically everywhere else we've ever lived/visited, but there's just something about Golden Pork that beats out every other place we've ever tried. Quality and service have remained consistent and fantastic time after time. You can't go wrong with the Classic but their seasonal/limited ramen bowls are also absolutely delicious. For appetizers, we've thoroughly enjoyed the buttered scallops and the fried chicken skins. There are a couple of parking spots in the back (enter via the covered alleyway literally right before the restaurant when traveling eastbound on S King St).

We came here to check out some of its unique dishes. All in all, the food was good as was the service. The inside of this place was much nicer than we expected after looking at its exterior. The garlic ramen was very good and I particularly liked the texture of the noodle. The pork bun was very good, tasted and looked a lot like Gua Bo of Taiwanese cuisine. The salad with curry as dressing was interesting, my wife liked it lot more than I. This place had a very nice selection of sake. I will try some the next time when I don’t have to drive.
