Since 2014, Ko-Ryu Ramen (Red Dragon Ramen in Japanese) has been one of the top go-to noodle shops in Southern California, specializing in authentic Japanese ramen. The secret is in our broth. Did you know that 50% of ramen restaurants in the US serve ramen using ready-to-use seasonings? “Just add hot water” and it’s ready to serve. We are here to crush those shops that take shortcuts!
At Ko-Ryu Ramen, we offer two methods of making our delicious soup:
Both will get you great tasting soup. Our noodles are also constructed using a special recipe designed for our style of ramen. The fresh ramen will be made and delivered to your shop weekly. Join the Ko-Ryu Ramen Team, and we will teach you all our secrets!
The US restaurant scene is more varied than ever, with consumers driving trends towards comfort food, healthier dining options, and bold global tastes. Customers are also prioritizing quality and convenience, flocking to establishments that offer faster, fresher options. Ko-Ryu Ramen blends the best of these trends, offering sit-down quality Japanese ramen in a convenient, quick-serve setting. As we like to say, “Ramen doesn’t wait for people. People wait for ramen!” Here are 4 reasons why our easy-to-scale brand makes an unbeatable investment:
