“An Evening at Kin Izakaya: Where Tradition Meets Ambiance In the culinary haven that our city embodies, Kin Izakaya emerges as a sanctuary of authentic Japanese flavors combined with the convivial spirit typical of Japan’s iconic gastropubs. It’s here that tradition and modernity collide to create not just a meal, but an experience worth savoring. The moment you step through the doors of Kin Izakaya, you’re greeted by an atmosphere that’s both lively and intimately comforting. The ambient lighting, coupled with rustic décor and understated oriental motifs, offers a welcoming reprieve from the city’s hustle and bustle. The soft murmur of patrons engaged in animated conversation sets the backdrop for an authentic izakaya experience. Kin Izakaya’s menu is a harmonious blend of traditional Japanese fare and innovative culinary creations. The tapas-style dishes, perfect for sharing, encourage a communal dining experience. From the delicate flavors of their sashimi to the robust, savory notes found in their yakitori selection, there’s a delightful complexity in each dish presented. The agedashi tofu, with its perfect crispy exterior giving way to silken tofu within, is a testament to the chef’s prowess in honoring traditional flavors while serving contemporary palates.“

“Absolutely loved it here. The food was amazing. ❤️“

“The best ramen you will ever eat anywhere. Great service. Great prices. Worth the wait.“

“It was our first time tasting a ramen bowl and it was the best. Must try potstickers which melt in your mouth. Really loved our experience.❤️❤️

We don’t know how to properly use the chopsticks seeing our struggle a person handed us kid training chopsticks.😅“

“Best Raman in United States hands down!!! Make sure u add Black garlic and hot spicy sauce“

“On a perfect rainy day, I was craving nothing but delicious Ramen so I had to have the pork tongue Katsu Ramen but they have a special here that includes a spicy tuna or salmon roll for $19.99

I absolutely had to have this and my God, it was delicious environment was warm and when I got my food, I couldn’t wait.

I had to let it cool down a little bit because it was made fresh, but I loved it.“

“Genuine Japanese Ramen with rich Miso taste. No other ramen shops serve this taste and only one in SoCal. It’s worth to spend your time to go to this place if you are Ramen Lover! Now they start serving Shio-Ramen (Clear Salt base soup) with Truffle oil flavor. This one is very good, too!“

“It was yummy and fast. Everything was fresh and clean“

“very tasty ramen n rolls, they came out fast, friendly waiters, totally recommend 10/10“

“Soooooo good. I can still get in here with no line, however, there will come a time…….when there will be a long wait!“

“Gomen is my family's favorite restaurant. At other restaurants, we'd be chugging water, but here, we feel soothed. Our favorite dishes are cold ramen,Korean Style Chanpon and fried rice, and on weekends, we always go for the free kid ramen. They also serve you some K popsicle or mochi ice cream as a complimentary dessert.“

“My teenagers and I had the Motto Black, the Motto Red, and the Motto Special. All bowls were tasty and delicious. Noodles were fresh and the chaschu melted in your mouth. Staff was super friendly and attentive. I would recommend as a casual and family friendly atmosphere. We will definitely be back again.“

“First time I ordered from this place. I was looking for ramen, but when I open the website, my eyes got caught by the Mango salad, and that's what I ordered instead. When I got my order it did not disappointed me. Ingredients were so fresh and appealing, the dressing were really good and chicken was tender. It was so delicious. I think I found my new favorite spot. I am looking forward to try more items of the menu.“

“Waited approximately one hour to be seated. Spoiker: it was well worth that wait. I ordered the tonkatsu ramen and pork buns. I can't decide which part was better, the noodles or the broth! The pork buns were priced just right at $8 for 2. Some of the best I've had. You are all so lucky to have such a wonderful ramen bar in your community. I am from Maine and will be sure to stop by this establishment every chance I get once I am in town.“

“Broth is great Staff is very helpful & Vibe is great 8.5“

“Amazing, super delicious Ramen - reinvented in the U.S. so the soup is totally drinkable. If you've ever eaten Ramen in Japan, you know what I'm talking about. The dining area in-store is modern and clean, but sometimes the long waiting line can be a turn-off, at least to me.“

“had the butaton Ramen, very very good! 1st time here, I definitely will be coming back!“

“Santouka Ramen is hands down one of the best ramen spots you’ll find inside Mitsuwa Marketplace. Their signature Shio Ramen with Toroniku pork cheek is simply outstanding—rich, creamy broth that’s perfectly balanced and never overwhelming, paired with chewy noodles cooked just right. The Toroniku pork is unbelievably tender and flavorful, melting in your mouth with every bite.

What I love most is that the ramen is not spicy, making it a comforting bowl that everyone in the family can enjoy. Portions are generous, and if you grab the combo with a rice bowl on the side, it feels like a complete, satisfying meal. The Takoyaki was also delicious—crispy on the outside, soft inside, and topped with the perfect sauce and bonito flakes, making it the perfect side dish to the ramen.

The consistency here is impressive—every visit tastes just as good as the last. If you’re at Mitsuwa and craving authentic Japanese ramen, Santouka is a must-try, five-star experience.“

“had the butaton Ramen, very very good! 1st time here, I definitely will be coming back!“

“Omg! The black Ramen is the best. Soo tasty I can eat it everyday. This is a comfort food for me but doesn’t feel heavy or greasy. I feel like I made a good choice after eating here. Very good sushi too. Fish is so creamy. My go to place for ramen and sushi.“

“Lunch catch up with a couple friends. Nice decorated wood divided booth gives a genuine Japanese feel.
There is a must get 99 cent first pint draft beer special right now.
We all ended up with Noodle Lunch Combo special, which is a really good deal if you are up for Ramen.“

“the best of the best , awesome food, beautiful employees, perfection“

“Vegan Ramen for me in Buena Park. Yay!“

“😋😋 good eating experience“

“First time coming to this restaurant with my Japanese friends. It’s a small Japanese communities where we can get together eating and chatting! The staffs are very friendly and the head chef/owner is a very passionate person! And he was very accommodate-able person! Love it! 😍“

“Tried this place for the 1st time. At the door, you notice the sign that says Military Discount. Thank you for that. Started with Egg Rolls and Spicy Edamame. Great portions, amazing flavors. Sushi had Salmon and it was very good. The ramen was Pork based ans it had a good kick. Good spicy with so much flavor. I gave the 4 stars because they have TV's and I wanted a basketball game. They couldn't change the channels for whatever reason. Asked for the bill and apply the Military Discount on the bill. The discount only applies to the Things I ate/ordered. I was there with my wife so they gave us 2 checks. It was pretty weird but oh well. But that doesn't change the fact that food was great and I want to try more items on the Menu. Good beer selection too 🍺 🍻 Enjoy!“

“After my son’s soccer practice in Tustin, we stopped by Ramen Mura—just a quick 7-minute drive.

They offer a great deal: ramen with an add-on. We ordered three ramen bowls and three sushi add-ons. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and satisfying. The service was friendly, and the atmosphere was relaxed and family-friendly.

My whole family enjoyed the meal, and we’ll definitely be back. Great spot for a casual dinner with good value.“

“Amazing authentic Ramen. Service and food was excellent. My new favorite in Lombard!“

“friendly, inviting and the food was amazing!“

“Antony was an amazing server! He was super friendly, attentive, and made us feel very welcome from the moment we walked in. He gave great recommendations — the ramen he suggested was absolutely delicious! Thank you for making our visit extra enjoyable. We’ll definitely come back!“

“I had the cold soba, and it was quite good. If you’re looking for Japanese-style udon in the area, I would recommend this place. However, it’s not somewhere you can eat comfortably at a relaxed pace. I understand that there are many people waiting, but clearing our bowls while we were still preparing to pay didn’t feel appropriate. I would recommend this restaurant only if you want to come in, eat, and leave quickly—it’s not a place for a leisurely meal.“

“Found this little joint a few years back And have been going back every since“

“I got spicy ramen (the last one in the list) and it was pretty good. The portions are adequate, I didn’t feel like I was gonna explode, but I felt comfortably full. They have a lot of vegetarian options. The prices are on the higher side though, probably due to its location. Otherwise it’s pretty good.

Vegetarian options: Almost all of their ramen have a vegetarian equivalent, and all the broth is vegetarian.

Parking: There are a lot of parking on either side of the mall.

Wheelchair accessibility: The restaurant is on the first floor and there are no steps. Access would be easy for someone on a wheelchair.“

“todo esta muy rico riquísimo diría llo el menudo la virria de chivo puebenlo no se arrepentirán de ir a probar todo al 100“

“Amazing food and quick service. I will be coming back for sure!!“

“Service was amazing! The waitress was so nice and reminded us about the deal when we were so close to it, thank you. And the food was really good for the price. Honestly, didn't have much expectations but it was really good for such a small place.“

“The servers are very friendly & kind. We enjoyed the food.“

“Siempre va a ser mi restaurante favorito. No he comido sushi como este en ningún otro lugar. He venido desde hace dos años en distintos tiempos y siempre que regreso es igual de bueno. El servicio es bueno, el sushi es fresco. Solo me gustaría que regresaran las botellas de salsa de soya porque estaban muy lindas. De ahí en fuera todo 10/10“

“quesabirria tacos go craaazy hard here! the consomé is *chef’s kiss* 🤌🏽 & the smoked pollo asado was surprisingly amazing! 10/10“

Super yummy, have lots of flavors. Service was good. Am definitely going back to try more of their deliciousness.“

“I ordered takeout from this sushi restaurant and was really impressed. The sushi was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented—even for to-go. The staff were super friendly and helpful, making the whole ordering process easy and pleasant. My food arrived quickly and still felt fresh, which made the experience even better. Definitely a place I would return to and recommend to others.“
