Best Ramen (San Gabriel Valley)

[gwleong]

Haven't seen much on this topic lately. Please post your favorite Ramen houses in the San Gabriel Valley. Looking for a good balance of best value, best quality, best tasting and most authentic.

If there's a previous recent posting on this, I apologize. Please direct me to the thread.
Thanks in advance!!

I like the Monterey Park Foo Foo Tei also (haven't tried the other one), and Hamashima is also not too bad (though not a "noodle house," as they have other Japanese dishes too).

I just had dinner at the MP Foo Foo Tei last night and enjoyed the ramen. I had the pork with vegetables--the noodles were cooked just right with a hot miso broth, lots of veggies and a generous amount of pork (though a bit on the too-fatty side). A big portion too for about eight bucks and some change.

Foo Foo Tei (in Hacienda Heights, not Monterey Park) or Shin-Sen-Gumi Hakata.

i agree on both above...why not monterey park foo foo tei?

Just prefer the original, I guess.

I was told there's a sign at the Hacienda location stating that they're no longer affiliated and they've been asked repeatedly to change their name.

Shin-Sen-Gumi Hakata is overrated and the service blows. Foo-Foo Tei is much better.

i've never had fft but ssg is the best i've had in the sgv.

I also think SSG is overrated, but I live in Torrance and have regular (and I mean often!) access to some of the best ramen outside of Japan.

Having said that, there's a good chance Zack is correct -- SSG may very well be the best ramen in the *San Gabriel Valley*.
