Really wanted to love this place.Got the Tonkotsu ramen, Chashu bowl, and the Karaage. Nothing really stood out and oh my God is it over priced...The only thing that I appreciated was that the Tonkotsu ramen noodles had the correct authentic thin noodles.Prices for the quality of food sadly did not match. I mean, about $10 for that Chashu bowl in a smaller size rice bowl that had a rubbery texture to it...really? Id be disappointed even if it was half the price.

Unfortunately, this is my second time here and it is just not very good. I don’t know where all these good reviews have come from. $20 bowls with dry Chashu, overly roasted garlicky broth and semi hard noodles is not great. I think you can see that the chashu is dry in this picture.I feel like a crazy person leaving a review but it’s simply not worth it!!Anyway, thank you for the ramen and make your own mind up but for my 2 cents not great.

New management, this place has significantly gone down hill. I am not one to leave negative reviews, but in this case it is warranted. They made an authentic, delicious mom and pop shop into an Americanized money grab - about $10-15 more expensive per meal for lower quality food.Shoyu Ramen tasted like spicy ground pepper, noodles were gooey and goopy. Pork pieces were extremely small, and mostly all fat and inedible. My friends Curry Ramen was also goopy and tasted weird / inauthentic. We both always finish our ramen, especially at Cagami - but couldnt finish this time around and left hungry.They charge extra for everything like Eggs now, and it came out whole and the yolk was not the consistency from past experiences. This place has been a staple for us for YEARS and I sadly will not be back and will warn my other friends who loved this place of the new changes.

Small location but extremely good customer service and food. I ordered the house broth with pork belly and wow is that some of the best tasting Ive ever eaten. The servers are always attentive and responsive.Our appetizer was Gyozu which was cooked perfect! I could visit this place weekly its damn good! Check place out if youre in the area.

The ramen here is fantastic. I can’t wait to visit again in the distant future (not a local).

This is one of the few restaurants I’ve been to that offers both quality and quantity. By far my favorite ramen restaurant in California, I prefer it over the many spots Ive been to in the Bay and LA. Nothing else in Ventura County comes close to this place. They recently redid their menu and it’s still delicious, their pork is flavorful and fatty, I also always order thick noodles with my ramen.

I lived in LA for years and this reminds me of my favorite place in West LA . From what little I know Ramen is Japanese fast food in Japan but these bowls ………… home cooked goodness. Different, savory flavors you wouldn’t cook yourself. Hearty, filling, quick and delicious and reasonable prices for what it is. It’s real food made by the hands of chefs. Quality ingredients aren’t skimped on and it’s a lively joint. My older Mom called it clangy, bangy in there but my son and I went and enjoyed it a lot. They sort of hype it up and call out your order to the nearby kitchen and they call back. It’s kinda cool. Don’t know what to get try the Curry Ramen. You can substitute or add or build your own bowl from a list. To go orders for Mom now but she digs it. Kinda small but makes it fun. Love it!

I’ve been a long time fan of Cagami! I’m sad the curry ramen is gonna as it was one of my favorites, but I’m not going to leave hate like the other reviews. Their ramen here is authentic and really good! There is usually a wait which is how you know it’s good. The minute you get in you’re greeted and service is quick. I will say I don’t recommend the karage. Very Oily and not very good. Other then that their ramen is spectacular. They recently added a wonton ramen and it’s a home run. The wontons were great and very crispy. I will say I wish they had more filling. You only get about a penny sized piece of meat. I definitely recommend if you’re looking for something authentic in the area.

Best Ramen in Camarillo!!I have heard and read all the amazing reviews for Cagami Ramen. Decided to check it out and I wasnt disappointed. Great food and atmosphere. If you plan on going here for dinner, plan ahead as the restaurant is very small and the wait time could be long depending on when you arrive. All I can say is that it is worth the wait.

Fantastic Ramen. I almost went back later the same day. Wontons were a little lame, but it soaked up the broth, and man, that broth could be sold by the gallon for a tasty drink.
