Ko-Ryu builds upon generations of traditions in ramen, offering a range of dishes as creative as they are tasty. Whether it's here on Hawthorne or at the sister location on Crenshaw, Ko-Ryu delivers a dining experience steeped in savory Japanese delights. First up is a slate of greens, rice items, and shareable foods like the handmade gyoza, pork shumai, and chicken karaage. These are all delectable precursors to the headlining ramen and irresistible Mongolian BBQ. Ramen options include tsukemen (noodles with flavored dipping sauce on the side) and shacho (a rich ramen finished off with sesame paste, ground pork, bean sprouts, pork chashu, and sake). They also dish up fried chicken, vegetable, wonton, and other ramen, including a custom, make your own bowl option with various bases (some spicy) and all sorts of toppings. With lunch specials and a Mongolian BBQ buffet, there's a dish for every taste at Ko-Ryu.
