Fujiya Ramen & Yakitori — Restaurant in Arcadia

I am glad we tried this new Japanese Izakaya in Arcadia.

I have been in search for good yakitori (skewed, grilled chicken or other meat) place, and I can confidently say I have found the place in Arcadia. We tried the skews samplers and tonkotsu ramen. The sampler came out faster than we thought and they were delightfully juicy and well-seasoned. What even more of a happy surprise is the ramen; we had tried tonkotsu ramen from many popular ramen places nearby, and I can say this place by far has the most refreshing broth. The waitress told us they make their in-house broth daily and that they didn’t substitute with pre-made broth powder. The quality of food is a strong testament. The waitress also recommended their skewed fish, and I will definitely come back...

I recently indulged in a bowl of ramen that truly impressed me. The creamy tonkotsu broth was rich and full-bodied, delivering a deeply satisfying flavor with every sip. The chashu pork was incredibly tender, practically melting in my mouth and adding a wonderful savory depth. The marinated soft-boiled egg was cooked to perfection, with a slightly runny yolk that added a delightful richness. Fresh green onions provided a crisp, refreshing contrast, while the additional vegetables like spinach and bamboo shoots added extra layers of texture and taste. This bowl of ramen was a harmonious blend of flavors and textures, making for an unforgettable dining experience. Highly...

Don't bother coming to this place. The service is absolutely abysmal.

It took almost 40 minutes after ordering to receive a single bowl of their classic ramen, despite the staff telling us early on that it'd be out shortly. Several tables who placed their orders after ours received their ramen almost immediately, and we even saw a few to-go orders placed and fulfilled before our ticket was acknowledged. Just absurd considering the place was not busy or short-staffed that night.

The food is simply not worth waiting for. There are plenty of other great places in the area that'd I recommend checking...
