I came here with my friend to have our dinner together. I have been to Ramen Kendall for about 10 times in the past two years as a student around campus. I highly recommend this restaurant if you want a quick dinner option or quick meal option for your lunch or dinner if you are at USC!

My fiancé and I ate here last night before the Mau P concert. I am a USC alum (USC BCA Class of 2020) and I've always loved this spot. It's fast, delicious, and high-quality. They let us stay til close and even made chicken WITH tonkotsu broth ramen. So good. We will be back!!!!! Fight On!
