Visited Yoshiharu Ramen on a Monday afternoon, and unfortunately, it was a disappointing experience. The service was incredibly slow despite it not being busy, which made the wait even more frustrating. As for the ramen, I’m sorry to say that the taste was underwhelming, instant noodles broth is honestly better than what was served.
While the ambiance was cozy and inviting, the open kitchen setup made the interior smell a bit off, which didn’t help the overall dining experience. The aroma was strong enough to make me lose my appetite.
Sadly, I wouldn’t recommend this place based on this visit. There’s potential, but they need to improve the service speed and quality of the food to match the cozy vibe they’ve created.

I love this restaurant 🌹❤️The food is so good… fresh noodles and more if needed. The tonkatsu is amazing and every spice level is delicious… The sushi is wonderful and not small portions but good enough to enjoy. The Ramen noodles are so good and with the extra ingredients in the soup, it is so filling and the broth is delicious. Everything on the menu is so good. 🩷💜🩷💜💜

Yoshiharu Ramen was a place my friend and I decided to try, especially since it’s relatively new. Unfortunately, the experience didn’t quite meet our expectations.
First, when we arrived a little after 1 PM, the restaurant was completely empty. For a popular lunch hour, this felt like a red flag. Second, and perhaps more significant, was the lack of authenticity—there were no Japanese staff in sight. While this doesn’t automatically mean the food is bad, it does make you question the overall authenticity of the experience.
I ordered the beef dish, and while it wasn’t bad, it was completely unremarkable. The ramen, too, was average at best. Having tried ramen at several restaurants, particularly in the Philippines and, of course, Japan, I can confidently say there are far better options out there.
This was our first visit, and unfortunately, it’s likely to be our last. The food was passable, but it lacked the flavor or uniqueness that would make me want to come back.

This place was good. I had the beef bowl and it was delicious. My friends all had ramen which I tried and it was good too. Service was quick
The new Laguna Niguel opened last month and I was so excited to try it. Today it rained, so we decided to do take out. I don’t like the pork or meats but I like the pork broth. I ordered the veggie ramen. They said I can’t have any other type of broth but veggie. It was tasteless and they were really stingy with the broth. Not even enough to cover the noodles.
My husband ordered the chicken bento box. The chicken was so dry he couldn’t chew and swallow it.
We won’t be going back there again! It’s too bad that Laguna Niguel can’t seem to attract decent restaurants!

Usually good but recently there have been more issues. last visit there was a deal advertised in store that they didn't honor (2nd roll half off) and the kaarage appetizer was frozen in the center (must have been hastily unfrozen. no apology from staff)

Wow this place is extremely over priced for the quality of food you get.Literally sitting here at the restaurant just sitting in regret of why I'm here.To start this place is under staffed poor girl has a full house and she's alone. And I bet she probably doesn't get paid what she deserves.The prices are OUTRAGEOUS con to the amount of food that you get.Like 12 dollars for 3 rice squares with canned tuna covered In ln hot sauce and mayo.Very sad environment.

Not new to Yoshiharu Ramen, as I've been to the location at Buena Park's The Source, this Yoshiharu Ramen in Cerritos opened approximately a year ago. Always glad to have a new ramen shop nearby, lunch was the order of the day & Yoshiharu Ramen heeded the call.Tonkotsu Black-Pork bone broth soy sauce base with garlic paste, chashu, green onions, bean sprouts, wood ear mushrooms, bamboo shoots, roasted black garlic oil & sesame seeds. Very good! The ramen was al dente, the chashu tender. Same as I remember the tonkotsu black being from the Buena park restaurant. A solid bowl of ramen, which I greatly appreciated.Thai tea ice cream-After a piping hot bowl of ramen, nothing better than some ice cream! Made with real milk, this perfectly portioned Thai tea ice cream tasted just like it's namesake, and was enough of an indulgence to where I didn't feel guilty.Service was great. The young man attending to customers was friendly & hospitable. A good amount of seating inside, with sushi bar seating available. Parking is via the Target lot, with Yoshiharu Ramen located adjacent & east of The Kebab Shop.Another one on rotation. Yoshiharu Ramen is a quality ramen shop, and a great addition to Cerritos. One day, I'll go all out & order their lobster ramen, but in no way can I call having their tonkotsu black settling, for it is a fine bowl of soup, I must say.
