“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!“

“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!“

“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.“

“After shipping from the South Coast, you may experience a significant increase in hunger. Upon passing by this establishment, you will notice a substantial line of patrons, indicating its popularity. If you enjoy spicy cuisine, I highly recommend trying their ramen.“

“As one of the 1.5 billion people in the world who can't eat pork, the world of real ramen has been closed to me. This paitan ramen had perfect noodles and a rich chicken broth. They have the choice between traditional pork slices or slices of the most tender chicken breast. You place orders on a ticket so each person orders exactly as they want. I recommend the spicy chicken paitan.“

“Great food when in the mood for udon noodles or Ramen. Every dish tasted amazing and there was a variety of choices to include appetizers. Plenty of seating after pouring in your order at the kiosk. Once you're number is called you pick up your order and add spices, oils, ginger,etc as you want to your dish. When done you bring your trays to a stacked area (kind of full). Plenty of parking up front and the restrooms were clean.“

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.“

“Okay, okay…yes, first ramen experience! I know, I know…I’m not a long noodle guy and def not a slurper, so I’ve always kinda avoided it. Had the chicken broth here, and it was really good. This is for the peeps who have yet to try…do it. Tastes amazing and you won’t regret it. Still not sure how to cut down the large pieces of chicken in the broth with chopsticks, but that’ll be for my second visit.“

“Gomen's ramen is one of our favorite restaurants. There are so many different types of ramen available in this restaurant, compared to the typical tonkotu or shoyu ramen. The fact that they offer free kids ramen keeps me returning! It is highly recommended that you try this place if you are looking for an authentic ramen shop with a variety of flavors.“
“I found this ramen place, and there are so many kinds to choose from. The ramen tastes excellent and is fun. I recommend trying rose buldak ramen and adding corn, cheese, and onion. It was amazing! The staff was so friendly. I will definitely come back and try other ramen too!! 🍜😋💯“

“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.“

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.“

“Vegan ramen with vegan gyoza as an appetizer. Your welcome. But seriously this place is amazingly delicious. Manager is great, the level of service from this man is above and beyond, the server forgot a side of rice(for my daughter) and something else small like a side of broth I can’t remember now, but the order was for takeout and I didn’t check the food before I left because they’re always on point. When I got home I checked and then I called to have the items credited to me for next time but, the manager refunded the money to my credit card and he insisted the food be delivered to me. I gave him my address and he personally delivered to my house in Orange from Tustin. Hiro Nori is and will always be my go to spot.“

“I tried the Spicy Black Ramen and really enjoyed it. The noodles were on the thinner side but still nicely cooked, and the chashu was cooked perfectly with a great crispy texture. Overall, the ramen was very flavorful and satisfying.
One big plus is that for an extra $7.95, you can add a California roll, which was also surprisingly good and paired well with the ramen.
Definitely a place I would recommend.“

“Tucked into a quiet plaza near a karaoke bar, this ramen spot is easy to miss but a lifesaver on cold nights. The tonkotsu broth was thick and creamy, with a deep pork flavor that lingered perfectly. I got the spicy level 2—it was hot but not overwhelming. Gyoza were crisp on the outside, juicy inside. The vibe is calm and welcoming, perfect for solo diners“
