Hands down the best Mazesoba in town! Firm warm noodles with eggs that enhances texture. Topped with their special tan-tan style sauce and finished with chives, green onions, ginger and all that good stuff. Super friendly and attentive staff although I personally prefer getting it to go thanks to the speedy service. An interesting menu item is their signature Mazesoba but mixed in with curry sauce. You would think the curry would overpower the noodles but the taste still stands strong and shines through the curry to form something incredibly unique. Definitely worth trying if you're ever nearby.

The star of the show here is definitely their “brothless ramen.” My partner and I shared the Deluxe Nagoya Mazesoba and a fried tofu side. Both were done very well with a ton of flavor. As you near the end of your bowl the server offered a complimentary small little scoop of rice which was perfect to get all of the remaining flavor at the bottom of the bowl. We also arrived around 6-ish on a Friday night and took the second to last table. Thereafter there were several parties outside waiting. The restaurant is located in a major plaza with a lot of free parking but on a busy night you may need to park further, but not a huge deal.Parking: Large free parking lot in a major plaza so it can get a little busy

There was a bit of a wait to get seated but luckily there is a boba shop next door. I got the Tan Tan and normally I like Tan Tan noodles, but this didn't really have that flavor. So I was a little disappointed.My wife got the original and hers tastes much better than mine. I think this place would be good if you get the right flavor. I'll have to try again.

Tried Menya Hanabi for the first time. Got seated at the counter. Staff were friendly and attentive. I ordered the Deluxe Nagoya Mazesoba with side of broth. Popped the egg and mixed it up. Pretty good first impression taking the first bite… very flavorful, and the noodles were cooked just right for my taste, not overcooked, just slightly firm. Sipping the side of broth between every few bites serves as a good balance with the full flavor of the noodles. Overall a good experience. I would recommend checking this place out if you’ve never visited.

The food was good however I felt really bad for our waitress who was serving every single table, while packing up to go orders. Every single table was full. I had to wait a long time to ask my waitress for my rice and check..., which I did not mind because I can see how overworked she was. This is not okay to do to your workers.

So delicious. Came on a Saturday night at 630pm and almost turned around when we saw the wait. About a dozen people ahead of us but we only waited 20 minutes. Service is fast. One spicy original mazesoba and one spicy deluxe. Will come back again.
I've always wanted to eat here since I learned about it through social media a few months ago. Today, a couple of friends and I drove 40 miles from Long Beach to Arcadia through the rain to arrive at a restaurant that served food we were highly anticipating. It was sooooo worth the drive!We were kindly welcomed, the server was friendly, and the food was served fast. All three of us ordered the deluxe Deluxe Nagoya Mazesoba. It was amazingly delicious. The breaking of the egg as I then watch the yolk melt into the meat before I stir it was satisfying. The flavors were full and it all worked well together. We also ordered broth on the side which complimented the dish very well with sips between every few bites.The appetizers were also delicious. We had the cold tofu with sesame oil and bonito flakes and Takoyaki. Both prepared our stomachs for what was to come.My friends and I vouch for this place and know for sure that today will not be our last visit.

I can't speak on service or atmosphere because I had my food to-go but the food itself was so good. I ordered the original spicy and my food was ready about 10mins before I even arrived but the noodles were still chewy and the sauce was really flavorful. The ingredients were familiar but the flavor was something I haven't tasted before. I really enjoyed eating it.

Lively and quite busy but luckily we were just popping in for a quick takeout order. Tried their original mazesoba and it was perfect! The noodles were thick and chewy, and the sauce and all the mix-ins (garlic, fish powder, chives, green onions, spicy minced pork, seaweed and a poached egg) were magical together. Quality wise, I felt like I was eating mazesoba back in Japan instead of slurping down those delicious noodles in the car, in the parking lot of a strip mall LOL
