This was our first time in this Ramen place but we dont consider ourselves newbies when it comes to good or bad Ramen. For us we still consider Koppan Ramen as the benchmark when it comes to what a good Ramen place should be. Nikka Ramen in Goleta will come in next as a good place for authentic Ramen. The rest either lacks the kick of a good Ramen or just plain bland. Moneykey Ramen does not have the great taste like Koppan Ramen but is a good Ramen place nonetheless. I had pork Shoyu Ramen and its well-cooked, tasty (not salty) but still tender. The soup isn’t too salty but has that mixed soy sauce and broth flavor in it. The noodles not too hard and not soggy. I highly recommend this place and will definitely come back. The professional service is an add on and elevates your dining experience.

I usually steer clear of Ramen restaurants because they put too many noodles in their bowls, but MoneyKey has a wonderful balance of noodles, broth, protein and flavor. My husband and I both got the same bowl except he got chicken and I got tofu. We were told it was white meat chicken however they were out and gave us dark meat. The waiter was quick to replace the chicken with tofu for my husband. The portions were generous, very flavorful, and the waiters were helpful and attentive. We will definitely be returning to this place and it was perfect for a rainy evening. We can’t wait to go back and try some of the other offerings.

Had the vegetable (vegan) ramen. Was great. Noodles were cooked right. Broth was Not over salty and good amount of (not skimpy) on the veggies. The size was decent too - not teeny tiny. Would come back again! Nice Asian music. Clean and friendly staff.

This is a busy place!! It is also a great place for a wholesome meal with friends. We wanted to introduce our friends to delicious ramen, and we came for dinner. She wasnt sure in the beginning, but was totally into it once she got the taste of the scrumptious ramen and hot soup. Service is A++ and food is superb. I loved the miso veggie ramen. Thank you folks, you do good work

I recently moved from the Pasadena area, which has some really great ramen, so I came here with high expectations. Wow, I did not expect the ramen to be this delicious! I decided to go with the veggie ramen, and it was incredibly creamy, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. By the time I finished, I felt like my soul had been healed after a long day’s work. Everything about it was amazing.

Good food, delicious chicken in the ramen. I wish there were more vegetables to balance out the richness of the meat, but still very enjoyable. Big portions, good service, cute and comfortable interior.

This place is cool. Maybe too cool for Simi Valley. It's tucked away in a little plaza just far enough away from the Town Center that you might ignore it. But that would be a mistake. The food is good. Quite good, actually. The menu covers the ramen / Japanese staples, but with the addition of some more authentic comfort foods (but less common in the US) like Curry and Gyudon. Everything I've tried is well seasoned, well crafted, and delicious. The chefs clearly have vision and knowledge. Now I must mention that this does not extend to the front of house staff. They're polite and friendly, but clearly do not share the vision of the chefs. We ordered the "Spam Egg Onigiri", as described on the menu. As it arrived, I would describe it as a "Spam Egg Musubi", but that's pedantry. However, our server presented it and said "Here's your Spam Egg... Thingy". Hilarious, but probably not what Moneykey is going for. Also, they only provide cocktail napkins... Come on, this is a ramen shop. Ramen is wet and messy. But still, the food and vision, especially in this location, makes it worth the trip. You will have a delicious meal.

One of the best places to eat in Simi Valley is a great spot for Ramen, offering a pleasant ambiance and affordable prices in today’s economy. My wife always enjoys dining here; she loves the Spicy Beef Ramen, while I love the Garlic Truffle Ramen.
