Cagami Ramen 1855 East Daily Drive, Camarillo, CA 93010

"We really wanted to like this place, but unfortunately it does not live up to expectations. We ordered the tonkatsu and miso ramen and for the price point, it did not deliver. For an expensive price point, it was a bit lacking in toppings and the broth was very bland. Tonkotsu normally has a richness/saltiness/savoriness to it, but this broth was very light. The appetizers were alright, we ordered the karaage and takoyaki and they were okay. I’d prefer to make the drive to LA or OC for better ramen. While the service was quick, it felt like they were rushing us the entire time. The ramen came out before/at the same time as the appetizers, so we couldn’t appreciate the food as well. I understand it gets busy here, but we left within 25 minutes of being seated. We would have liked to enjoy our time a little more without being so rushed. I will not be coming back any time soon."

"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."

"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? I'd be disappointed even if it was half the price."

"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 couldn't 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."

"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 I've 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."
