The shredded pork had been simmered in a sweet teriyaki like sauce with white onions. J ordered her shredded pork bowl without the green onions and pickled ginger that usually comes on top. I doctored it up at home with salt, pepper and soy sauce and it tasted a lot better. I added a lot of soy sauce, some pureed garlic and some white pepper. The fried rice was also pretty tasteless. They had a condiment bar so I added some pureed garlic and soy sauce to my soup. The broth was a little on the bland side. I have heard a lot of great thinks about Daikokuya so maybe I built it up too much in my head. The ramen is topped with a marinated hard boiled egg, seasoned bamboo, bean sprouts and green onions.

Daikokuya claims it takes a full day of boiling pork bones at a secret undisclosed location to make this broth. It basically seemed like a Japanese version of cole slaw. I especially liked the creamy dressing on top. In addition to the fried rice, my meal came with a salad. The ramen here is served in a bowl that is bigger than your head.well at least most of your heads. J ordered a shredded pork bowl ($7.50) and decided to drink the "Wheet Tea" as well. The cashier then pointed to a large metal drink dispenser with a hand written sign that said "Wheet Tea." I decided I would just drink that as my beverage.even though I didn't know what it was.

I was then informed that they only have bottled water, but offer free iced tea. I decided to get the ramen combo with the fried rice.

You can order your ramen alone for $8.50 or as a combo with one of their side dishes for $11.50. They also offer about 3 other dishes as well as a couple of side dishes like fried rice. The menu at the Costa Mesa location of Daikokuya is pretty limited. The food court also contains a Sushi Boy, a Korean restaurant, a Japanese/Italian restaurant and a Beard Papa's Cream Puffs.

You do not need a membership though to eat in the food court. The store is kind of similar to Costco in that you need to purchase a membership to shop there. Marukai is a grocery store that specializes in Asian and Hawaiian groceries. Daikokuya is a little ramen shop in the food court inside the Marukai Market in Costa Mesa.
