Kinda sad that they call this “authentic” ramen. If the people that comes here likes it, when they go to Japan and try the ramen there, they may call the ones in Japan a fake. Soup was not real ramen soup, noodle was more like “somen” noodles. (Yes, authentic “tonkotsu” noodle is suppose to be thin but not this “somen” noodles) Of course it’s own partly by a Korean people so I get it. I also know it’s not Japan but please don’t advertise as authentic. For the people here they eat it as a soup noodles and as long as people like the taste of these soup and the type of noodles they use, I have no complaints. Should call it Noodle Soup shop instead of “Ramen” Try Hakata Ikkousha in Costa Mesa Little Tokyo or Torrance if you want to taste the real Tonkotsu Ramen !
This place is really really good!! The noodles are completely different from other places I've been to which is a good thing it's so good! Only bummer is that it opens late and closes early
Foods great, except I went in at 9pm and was told they aren't serving anymore inside dining. Maybe you guys should adjust your dining hours to 9pm instead of it saying 10pm?
First time in this place and we’re totally satisfied.. The flavor and the consistency of the noodles was just in the right spot. The service was totally amazing if I can give more than 5 stars I’ll give 10 stars jus for the outstanding service… Highly recommend it
Came here on a Saturday afternoon (2 pm) and it was not too crowded. It was about a 5 min wait to be seated. The decor is simple but nostalgic for any Anime/manga fans out there.Now the food.... Drumroll .... was fantastic! Best Ramen so far I've had in the OC. My husband and I loved it and have now flagged it as a definitive come back to in the future.We had the following:Butter Corn Miso Ramen with Kale noodlesKakuni DonWasabi Shotu Ramen with Kale noodlesChasyu DonHakutsuru (drafted) SakeNote 1: The Kale noodles are da bomb! This was our first time trying it out and dare I say, these noodles were better than regular noodles. Highly recommend trying them out.Note 2: I typically am not a fan of dry sake since it's typically too bitter for me but the Hakutsuru was actually very refreshing.
Fantastic best ramen I’ve had and they make their own noodles. Danny is always awesome!
The food is amazing. I’m a huge fan of the ultra spicy soup. Level 2 is the ideal level of spice before it gets too spicy and no longer enjoyable. The few negatives are that that they are understaffed so outside of getting your food, you will not likely be waited on. It might also take some time to get your food. Only once have I not enjoyed the food but the staff did re-do the order for me.
Got the spicy miso, no flavor, not spicy at all, pork was disgustingly fatty and slimy. The only thing I could taste was the ginger. I've been to a million ramen places and this is worst I've ever tasted. I chose here because it was close to my house... never again.
The Tonkontsu Ramen is soooo good!
Sooo good. We got take out and even by the time we got home to eat it, the meals were so delicious. We picked the curry, but will be back for sure for some ramen!
