“My husband and I are creatures of habit but we decided to try this ramen spot out for the first time. The servers were super friendly and fast. The chicken karaage and ramen came out hot! They also gave us complimentary edamame, which is cool. I'm definitely going to tell our friends and family about this little spot. Plus, the cat robot who runs the food was entertaining to watch.“

“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.“
“Robots are distracting and loud at times and I prefer personal service. Food innovative and delicious. New/trainee waitress hesitant and seemed overwhelmed which allowed for more conversation. Things amiss are easily fixable: owner & staff stepped in, generously compensated and cared for us. The food is well worth it and we will return again & again.“
“I've never had mazemen before and I would 100% have it again. I had the cheese mazemen and honestly, I felt like that food critic from Ratatouille. I was felt at home from the first bite and by the end of the second one, I was in bliss. I felt like I was transported back to another ramen place I've visited a few years ago where they made the ramen fresh. I wanted the full experience, so I took an allergy pill beforehand so I could try the mazemen and it was worth it. I would totally suffer palpitations again!“
“Such a good addition to Brea! We walked in to place an order to go on a Friday night. The staff were all extremely nice & helpful. We ordered the deluxe sashimi set, 2 rolls, yellowtail collar, and agedashi tofu. We told them that the order was for 3 so they thoughtfully cut the pieces of fish into 3 (instead for 2)!“
“Amazing food, amazing service, one of my favorite restaurants! If you’re vegan or vegetarian you have to come here! Do yourself a favor and come here!!Vegetarian options: Amazing vegan options! Truly one of the best spots for vegan ramen and sushi!“
“Best tasting ramen I've ever had and the prices are super affordable. The atmosphere is really chill and clean and the staff is very friendly and welcoming!Dietary restrictions: I have a garlic allergy and they were very helpful with accommodating me!Parking: There's more parking behind the restaurant, but there is accessible handicap up front!Kid-friendliness: Very open space and room in the booths for kids“
“Ordered the Tonkotsu Ramen and it was so delicious. Stopped by after some shopping and this place was packed. They sat me down once I walked in and their service was excellent. I received my meal quickly and it was delicious. I will definitely come back again.“
“This was my first time eating here, and I wasn't sure what to order. They let me sample the chicken and the beef birria. It was very good. The meat is tender and they have great prices. When your in town, stop here, you will be happy that you did.Vegetarian options: Beans, rice and they serve ramen. You can customize and leave the meat out if you want. Taco, burrito, and quesadilla You can put avocado beans and rice and cheese.“
“Awesome place to get some great tasting ramen! The restaurant was nicely decorated, the staff extremely friendly and of course, the food tasted great. We had the veggie king ramen with an egg add on and spice level 3. Very good. I would definitely add a higher spice next time I go. They have a cool custom menu that you fill out while waiting in line to stream line the process. Big fan of the organization! Highly recommend.“
“Mazesoba Hero's signature Lemon chicken karage is absolutely amazing?! It's crispy and tender and juicy! Every spoonful was a satisfying experience! karage maintained its crispiness even when immersed in the sauce.I recommend trying their Chicken Karage Mazesoba Ramen to anyone seeking a unique and delicious ramen experience.Yum! Yum!“
“Delicious ramen! The Chuka Soba was phenomenal. The broth was perfectly balanced. Not too bland, not too rich. The inside is cozy and very chill. We sat at the bar to watch the cooks prepare the ramen.Gyoza was also perfect, the sauce was also quite excellent. Really enjoyed the variety of the music being played as well.“
“Went here for the first time today. Was a late lunch and we were the only customers there. My wife ordered the Chnpon ramen I had the fried chicken ramen. We were served promptly by the efficient server. Both our dishes were flavorful and generous portions. Hard to understand the few reviewers who felt the food was bland. My wife has visited Japan and felt this was an authentic Japanese Raman . This is our go to ramen place. Highly recommended!“
“I really like this restaurant! We have gone here several times after mountain biking Fullerton Loop. They have GREAT ramen, the happy hour deal appetizers are excellent, their Thai tea is awesome, beers are nice and cold, and their sushi is fresh and very tasty. They are open late, go check it out!Vegetarian options: They have a vegan ramen with spinach noodles“
“My wife and I have visited this ramen spot several times, and let me tell you something IT NEVER DISAPPOINTS! Owner of this place always provides the best service, and the atmosphere is cozy, it feels personal every time. Appetizers you can never go wrong, doesn’t matter what you choose & the ramen is great. The spicy tonkatsu miso is actually spicy and delicious. Everything the owner of this restaurant has to offer is A+.“
“Best ramen and pork rice was delicious ? at a reasonable price. Not like other spots charge over $20 and poor taste.Will be going back and will recommend to friends and family. Glad i found this spot because I was driving to Pasadena for the same soup. Customer service was the best too. Not greedy with hot sauce like other places too.“
“I came here with my family on a Sunday evening. It's a sit down restaurant but not overly formal. The food here is delicious. I had the chicken karaage bowl that had great flavor and texture. The udon noodles and soup base were delicious as well. Can't wait to try other items on the menu.“
“Place is ok, there are so many better places though! I would eat here if I didn’t want to go out too far. Black garlic ramen was seriously lacking flavor but the udon was good. Sushi was standard and the hoedeopbap was tasty, just didn’t have much fish. Maybe I’ve been spoiled but service was poor. Girl was trying to talk to me across a loud room and ordering was slow. It was only her working this particular evening so it might have been overwhelming. We were told at 9:10 that they closed at 9:15 (nicely told us to gtfo), but we were confused because google says they close at 9:30. Didn’t matter too much because we were about done anyways. Despite the negatives, definitely give it a try, palettes are always different. It wasn’t so bad that I wouldn’t come here again, could’ve been a one-off night and I always like to give establishments another shot.“
“SO DELICIOUS AND FRESH! I can’t believe how good EVERYTHING was. So happy to have stumbled upon this place!We got the extra salmon crunch spicy burrito which was 100/10. The gyoza was hot, steamy, and fresh. The Tonkatsu Ramen had the most delicious pork I’ve ever tasted in Ramen. 10/10! Can’t wait to come back.“
“Such a hidden gem sushi restaurant! They have premium sashimi and great Japanese dishes. Many parts are from Japan like the uni. It’s very fresh and doesn’t smell at all. The salmon is from the ocean, not farmed salmon. Toro parts are very nice and delicious. Sushi menu was really worth trying. The servers are especially friendly. I really enjoyed the vibe as well. They play relaxing music. It gives a relaxing feeling like slow-life countryside in Japan. Totally recommend!“
“I was brought to this restaurant by a close family member and it's one of the best ramen places I've been to. I loved their ramen bowl serving and the Naruto ambiance. I can definitely see myself going back to this place again. I ordered the Naruto Chasu “
“I've never really had Ramen before, but I am officially a fan after coming here. The service was on point the same lady was assisting all four tables with complete ease. She was refilling everyone's water asking if we needed anything. She was on top of all of it even answering the phone and just from hearing other people telling her that they enjoy the meals I know it's not just me saying it. I think it's safe to say everyone in there had a great meal tonight. The restaurant itself is not too big. There is about six or seven tables in there with several chairs to each table and comfy couches to sit on. It's not the biggest restaurant but it's perfect the way it is all of the Naruto decor was pretty cool to see too. I love how they had pictures up and drawings up. It just made it feel more homelike and I appreciate that vibe. I ordered the udon noodles in my Ramen because I prefer the thicker noodles and was not disappointed at all super yummy. Super tasty. Lots of flavor packed into the bowl. Nothing was overpowering as a perfect amount of flavor. Overall, I genuinely enjoyed my time tonight.“
“Was a little confusing at first when walking in, they had a menu you can look at as soon as you walk in and the confusing part is there is a kiosk for order strictly to charge either credit or debit cards if you want to pay cash you have to wait for someone to attend the register. You can choose from different types of Ramen or udon noodles or a platter with rice or a bowl of rice with whatever toppings. It's on the pricey side but the food is pretty good in flavor. Restaurant is kept clean and even has a dine in patio.“
“Wanted to let everybody know Sushi in the Box's new location is in the Ranch 99 Market on Golden West in arcadia. They are now located in the food court in the far right hand corner all the way in the back. Their food is excellent and their service is very friendly always served with a smile.“
“Soooo good! Lots of choices. Fast service in bringing out the food. I was sooo hungry when we finally got in. The wait was a little long but it was worth it. Our server was also very good Aaron. He always came back to check if we were doing ok. Definitely something I would recommend. I'll be back soon.“
“Been to the one in sawtelle before but it was my first time at this location -- the food was great as always. Loved the spicy tonkotsu ramen I had. The sides were available as an add on at $2.50 each. There wasn't too much of a wait as groups come and go fairly quickly. The service was friendly and the Japanese music gave the place a nice vibe.“

“Kitakata Ramen Ban Nai is like a noodle symphony for your taste buds! The broth is so rich, it's practically doing a backstroke in flavor town. The noodles are like the Michael Phelps of the ramen world – perfectly slurpable and champion-worthy. The only problem? I need them to start offering a loyalty program because I've officially become a ramen-a-holic. I might need an intervention, or just another bowl of their amazing ramen. Delicious addiction, here I come!“
“Yesterday was Good Friday. My family and I had originally planned to go have dinner at Grab Crab, but the wait was outrageously long. I believe that when I checked in, we had 18 people ahead of us. So, instead, we decided to go Sosom Ramen Bar & Bossam. Luckily, when we got here, it was nice and empty. We got seated right away, and the order was taken really quickly. This was our second time coming to this place. The first time we came, I dont remember much, but we decided to come back anyway. This round was much rememberable. The waiter was on top of everything, making sure we had refills on our water and gave us extra sides. He checked up on us multiple times to see if we needed anything else. Honestly, the food was just perfect. Like 10 min into our dinner, the restaurant started to fill up. The vibe with the customer everyone enjoyed their food. If you want to try Bossam, this is going to place. I don't think they will let you down. Meat is super tender, and the sauce is yummy. Just writing this makes my mouth water.“
“Stopped by on Saturday noon, but restaurant was not crowded at all. Had a tonkotsu spicy miso ramen. As a ramen lover, the food was OK. I like the soup base and topping but the noodle seems overcooked or maybe it's just the noodle that was mushy and soggy. Tables were unstable, not just one, and I hope that could be fixed.“
“I was craving ramen and this place always hits the spot. Ordered Tonkotsu and it was perfect. Super delicious and the service was very friendly and prompt. Will definitely come back!Parking: The restaurant is in a plaza, so there is plenty of parking available in the parking lot.“
“Grand opening! We saw the sign and decided to try (assume new owners). Staff was very nice and the food was excellent. We tried their signature “pan fired buns” which we will get again. Next up was the “pork soup dumplings” which were tasty and on target. Then, we tried the “beef roll” which was delicious. Definitely coming back to try other menu items. The owners treated us to their dessert dish which was perfect compliment. Nicely done.“
“Very small parking lot but lots of street parking. I had a short wait during lunch time on a weekend. The staff are super nice and food comes out very fast Nanchatte tonkatsu ramen: milky creamy and flavor broth. It's very comforting especially on a cold day. Ramen noodles are cooked just right. Deep fried stuffed soft shell crab: a nice appetizer. The outside is very crispy and it appears to be stuffed with imitation crab meat. Omelet rice with pork cutlet and curry sauce: the portion is very large. It was very delicious. Curry sauce is nice and sweet. The pork cutlet is nice and crispy, the meat is juicy. I would definitely get this again and it would be two meals. Definitely stop by when you're craving some comfort Japanese food! The menu is very large and there is a lot to try.“
