Even though it's small, i highly recommend going to daikokuya, but be prepared to wait a little bit for a table if you plan on going for dinner. I went there around 1:00 PM and didn't have to worry about a long wait. 

I ordered Tonkotsu Ramen and Chicken Karaage. Karaage is a style of japanese cooking where meats, more than often chicken, is covered in a seasoned wheat flour or potato starch mix, and then fried in oil. It was very good, and they give it to you with a lemon so you can squeeze it onto the chicken before eating. 
Tonkotsu Ramen is a style of ramen that originated in the Fukuoka Prefecture on the Kyushu island of Japan. The broth for the soup is made by boiling pork bone in water for a considerable amount of time, sometimes up to eight hours. In the tonkotsu ramen served at daikokuya, it has pork belly, bamboo shoots, green onions, onion, and a fried egg. 

Even though it is a little expensive, i highly recommend Daikokuya for delicious food and a good dining experience.

せん週の金曜日、私とChrisさんとRamerizさんに大黒家に行きました。大黒家はラーメンレストランです。

大黒家は小さいのレストラン、でも、元気で、にぎやかです。たくさん人にが来ました。レストランの中は古いくでて、ちょっとあついです。

私はつけ麺を食べました。おいしいかったです！水を飲みました。でも、たべものはちょっと高いですと思います。しかし、りょうり人のりょうりはじょうずです。ウェイターは日本語を話しでて、しんせつで、はやいです。みなさんもきてください！

The first part of going to Daikakuya was that it was a little hard to find. It took a good 7 minutes to find out that it was on the second floor and in front of the parking lot. When we found it, I was a little surprised to find out that it was small, yet had a lot of people waiting. We took counter seats and I noticed that the interior was decorated in a vintage fashion. The decor, music and the posters appear 1950s to me.

Ramen, a bowl of noodles in a soup with condiments; is a Japanese dish of Chinese origins. It first came from China as lamian noodles, which then spread to Japan where it was adapted to suit Japanese taste and became distinctively Japanese. Tsukemen, is basically ramen but the soup is served in a separate bowl at that time. To eat it, one should dip the noodles in the soup and then eat it. Regular ramen has to be eaten once served so the hot broth does not cool or soften the noodles and ruin the mouthfeel. I prefer my noodles to be a bit chewy, and to me, regular ramen is a little too hot for me to eat before the noodles soften, which is why I prefer tsukemen.

Ramen is a fast food in Japan, costing at least ¥400 (USD $4.00-$5.00)  but it is at least $15 a bowl in the US. Which to me is unfortunate, because I like ramen enough to eat it everyday.

 

Yet, I do not think that the price should preclude someone from trying it. Daikokuya serves high quality ramen and it is well worth the price.

Japanese ramen grew in popularity until  it remains to this day. At its most basic, ramen is the Japanese name for a noodle soup, featuring vegetables, meat, and sometimes fish in a broth that is dense with noodles. It is a meal in a bowl, and it has long been popular,inexpensive street food. But beyond the basic bones of this definition, variations are myriad. Just about every region or city in Japan has their own style of ramen. There are three main broth options: shio (salt), miso, and Shyoyu (soy sauce), but these are really just ways to perk up a basic broth made of boiling pork bones. Here you can eat Japanese authentic ramen.The noodles were perfect, broth delicious and the pork rice is good. Yummy chewy noodles and tender meat cheap price,and fast service.The wait was worth. You also can make  requested of the noodles more soft or chewy. Their service is really nuanced. so many people enjoy the food here.The maneki-neko,you may be more familiar with it as a "lucky cat." These Japanese figurines are often found in restaurants and shops, this is a popular and some traditional color for lucky cats, beckoning general good luck, wealth, prosperity.Right paw raised invites money and good fortune.

私は、十月三十一日に、ハナシマレストランに日本語の食べものを食べに行きました。自分で行きました。レストランは小さくて、そしてしずかだったです。いすはかわいかったです。私はとんかつカレーとカリフォルニアロールを食べています。とんかつカレーはにくがありました。たくさんやさいがありました。カリフォルニアロールはにくがありませんでした。おいしかったです、でもちょっとさむかっです。食べものわやすかったです、でもすごくおいしい食べものは高かったです。
The food was alright, but it wasn't any better than what I could make, especially the curry and sushi. California Roll is technically only a sushi in America and is the single most influenced sushi from the west. . The place is very nice and relaxing with unique seats that go under the ground. The onions in the curry were a bit raw, but contributed to a different texture in the curry. The waitress Alice was very kind and helpful. She even laughed it off after she told me she didn't speak Japanese.

Meat bowl is a popular dish in Japanese. Meat bowl can be made with beef, pork, or seafood. Teens usually like Pork bowl the most. In Japan, Japanese eat meat bowl almost once a week. In Daikokuya, meat bowl and Daikokuya ramen is always the top choice for customers. Daikokuya claims that they invented this ramen in Los Angeles, so they call themselves “grand-daddy” of Los Angeles ramen. Overall, the ramen in Daikokuya is really good, so as the meat bowl.

お店には十月の半ばに家族と行きました。レストランは小さくてこじんまりしたところです。僕和お店おすすめのとりまつコースとカレーピラフおを頼みました。コースには十ぼんのくしにサラダとスープついてきます。料理は全部美味しかったです。対象はすごく優し人ですいつもサービスで何か出してくれます。料理も対象すごくいいのでぜひともとりまつにいてください！

In Japan, many yakirori shops specialize in this tasty dish, while most izakaya also has yakitoru in their menu. At the restaurants who specialize in yakitori, customers can enjoy food while watching the chicken being grilled over charcoal in front of them. Because yakitori is derived from different parts of the chicken, customers can pick and enjoy the taste of different parts of chicken!

おはようございます。私の名前はウエインドンヅアソです。これはリビューです。せんしゅう、レストランに行っていました。レストランの名前は大黒屋（ダイコクヤ）です。

レストランにコガさんとフランシスコさんとホゼさんとスカイラさんとばんごはんを

大黒屋のなかにへやがきれいでした。友だちとはなしていました。たのしかったです。レストランのなかにすわった、それからたべものをもらいました。

これしゃっしんはだいこくやです。

わたしのたべもののなまえはビーフボール (牛丼)でした。みそとコールスローもたべていました。

コカコーラをのみていました。

ビーフボールはおいしいでした！たくさんビーフとごはんがありました。

The Japanese beef bowl  (牛丼), is a myriad of different ingredients mixed into a bowl, with the primary ingredients being the beef, the rice, and toppings of the customer's choosing. The use of beef in dishes can be traced back to the Meiji era of Japanese history, with the introduction of Western imports and culture also brought in the use of beef in dishes. 

The beef bowl that I received in Daikokuya was comprised mainly of beef, onions and rice, with some pickled ginger on the side. Since the quality of the food was very high quality, I enjoyed eating this dish. This gets a thumbs-up from me! :)

私は十月十六日に友だちと大黒やに行きます。大黒やはラメンレストランです。でも、たくさんにくどんがあります。私はぎゅうにくどんを食べます。とてもおいしです。

大黒やは、ちいさくてしずかなレストランです。私のサーバはとてもやさしでし。でも、私のサーバ少し日本語をはんします。みんあはえいごをはんします。食べものはとてもおいしです。でも、食べものは、ちょっとたかかたです。ラメンは、十ドルです。みんあたのしかったです。

 

Finding Daikokuya was very easy, as I was already familiar with the layout of the mall. However when I went with my friends, it took them a bit of time to find parking as well as the actual restaurant itself. With Daikokuya being a ramen restaurant, I was expecting for the restaurant itself to be small, but it was much smaller than I could have anticipated. The tables were very close together as well as the bar facing the cook. There was very little room for others to walk around the restaurant itself, making it a feat in of itself to even work there.

Ramen first originated in China with the name lamian noodles. However once it was brought over to Japan the dish started to acquire more and more Japanese culinary qualities, most of them being the taste of how noodles were cooked in Japan. Ramen is considered a fast food, with ramen stands littering the streets at night and are generally open very late. Ramen is also very inexpensive, with bowls ranging from five to four dollars. However in America and other countries, the range of price goes up quite a bit, with the cheapest ramen I've found being seven dollars, all the way up to a standard bowl being almost twenty dollars.
