My boyfriend and I came here on a Wednesday afternoon. We walked in and were seated right away.Server was wasn't the friendliest, but was attentive. The restaurant itself is very small and seating is limited.There are a few parking spots right in front of the restaurant and more parking in the lot behind the restaurant. The weekend is very crowded but during the week it's easier to find a spot right in front. Definitely recommend giving this place a try if you're craving ramen and in the area!Food review:Slurpin ramen: (4/5) The broth was so full of flavor. I loved the thickness of the broth. The noodles were cooked perfectly and the egg was just the cherry on top!The regular was a good portion!Salad: (4/5) This was a big portion, really good flavor, and the dressing was delicious. It was super fresh!

This was the closest ramen spot from our hotel which was perfect after a late night that resulted to a sore throat.There was no wait list even though it was lunch time. The space itself is compact but had a welcoming atmosphere.I ordered the Mild Slurpin’ Ramen with chasu. The spice level had the perfect kick. The broth was creamy and delicious.Would definitely come back again!Parking: This is a compact plaza with public and valet parking.

Best ramen broth in my opinion. The spice is actually spicy which I love. I'm pretty picky with ramen and this place never fails me.
Alejandra S.
Thoroughly enjoyed the service and ramen. Ramen was rich and noodles tasted fresh and bouncy. Only part I wasn't a big fan of is the side of jalapeños as I expected fresh, not pickled.

My girlfriend and I have been to at least a dozen different ramen restaurants in the past year.Slurpin' Ramen is the best of the bunch. The quality of the food and service are significantly better than other other restaurants. Be sure to join the wait list on Yelp to save time and check-in for free add-ins or a free soft drink. If I'm being critical, my only complaint is the restaurant's size: it's very small, which means you likely have to wait for a table, especially on Friday or Saturday night. The interior is too small to wait inside, which means standing outside the front door. No worries; it's worth the wait, and we'll definitely be back.

Consistently good. My go to spot for casual dinner when I'm at the camp. Their signature slurpin ramen has a rich flavorful broth and comes out very quickly. I definitely enjoy getting one of their perfectly soft boiled eggs on the side with it.However The dipping ramen was only so-so for me. Noodles felt too thick while the broth didn't penetrate/coat the noodles enough to give a satisfying mouth-feel. Quick and decent service, with hooks under the tables for your purse.

This is the most consistent ramen spot in costa mesa and it's open late.Menu is very straightforward and the level 3 is actually spicy. I will say the toppings can add up in price depending on what you want and i wish that you could add cheese but this place is a staple.

I'm a regular at the Buena Park location but one day I was near this location and decided to try it. They're both delicious!! Servers here are extremely kind and they manage to stay on top of things. They were extremely patient and they give out lollipops with the check which is so sweet. My sister is extremely picky and she loved it. I hope all the workers here are being appreciated by management, they work like a team and help each other out then thank each other afterward. It's so wholesome to see a work environment like that, it also makes it an even better experience for the customer because the energy they have here is literally so relaxing and welcoming. ps: they drew a little plankton on the spoon used to sign, it's so cute

This is the best ramen I have ever had, First time I had it I was very surprised. The 2 types of pork are beyond what I expected.
