“Great ramen and sushi restaurant in a small strip mall. Plenty of parking. The restaurant is not big, but has a large table in the middle for a larger group and some smaller tables for groups of 2 to 6, and some bar seating. We were warmly greeted and could sit anywhere. We ordered two ramen soups, a truffle mushroom variety and a spicy beef version. With both, we chose them as a combo with gyoza and spicy tuna, respectively. The soups came quickly and looked and tasted amazing. They played country music, which was a bit unexpected. But still 5 stars for food and service. Overall, a place we have bookmarked for our next trip.“

“We came here just for some bites. No ramen this time. Staff is friendly, eager to serve your food and help with anything. I love the big wave art on the wall with the several characters all over. Seating area is comfortable. My advice for the hand roll is try to eat it quickly because whenever I leave it sitting for a bit it just kinda turns a little chewy.“

“Although Kokiyo is a small restaurant; the service, atmosphere, and food is amazing. I ordered a creamy broth ramen and it was the best creamy broth ramen I ever had. Both slices of the pork belly chashu were so tender it practically melts after taking a bite. Rather than taking the unfinished portion to-go, the meal was so spectacular that I had to finish it. Also the pickled radish is a must try.“

“Santouka is one of the better ramen options in the OC area. Most of the good ramen are options are closer to downtown LA, so it's nice to have something closer for folks in the OC and surrounding areas.
I always order the large spicy miso ramen with extra char siu ($15.95) with a side char-siu rice bowl ($6). Its enough to split between two people if you aren't super hungry. I enjoy the noodle quality and broth of the ramen. There are many different options and deals that they offer.
This location is always a little chaotic to get into and out of. I recommend going during off-hours because the food court always has hordes of people in it.“

“It was good and my 1st time trying it. I got one of the vegan Ramen bowls cause it sounded good and there was like 3 big chunks of chicken in it but I didn't say anything and still finished the bowl cause I'm not vegan
Dietary restrictions: They had gulten free noodles but I was told the broth wasn't gulten free“

“This place is awesome! I will definitely be coming back and bringing my friends with me!
Parking: On the weekends the main lobby to the building is closed so you gotta use the back left side entrance. Just ring the bell on the sign and a friendly staff member will greet you and let you in the building! :)“

“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.“

“I love this spot. The ramen is delicious and I love the vegetarian option- I can’t remember if it’s vegan, but I think it is. They even make a special broth and have different noodles! Absolutely loved this!!
Vegetarian options: They have veggie ramen available; they even have a special broth that they make.“

“It's esp. good during chilly, cold weather. The (okonomiyaki) egg-noodle dish was tasty--would love for them to make it more Japanese style, so good!
Miso ramen was flavorful enough. Tuna on crispy rice YUM.
Poke was OK--maybe ditch the mayo & pool of soy sauce.
Service terrific. Sat 3:45 PM meal.
May Mako Ramen thrive through 2025 & 2026 (brace for it, America).“

“To be fair I haven’t really tried the ramen here. I’ve ordered through DoorDash and I’ve tried a few of the bowls here. The beef sukiyaki bowl was a tad salty for my liking but I appreciated the whole egg and ginger that came with it. Also tried a few of the rolls, spicy tuna, so good and eel roll. Maybe it’s cause I ordered through DD but everything was just average to me. Nothing really stood out to me. Price is good though. The bowls are filling and reasonably priced.“

“Their ramen is delicious. Go for the black ramen. Appetizers are all solid, including the spicy edamame and tempura.
Combos are a pretty good deal, with half off some of the best cut roll sushi options. We go here regularly.“

“I've been on a mission to try omurice with demiglace sauce and not the lazy ketchup drizzle. While Aoki No Chuuka didn't have Omurice, they did have Curry Omumeshi. It looked interesting and from the pictures, it looked like demiglace sauce. So I ordered it to try.This was very tasty. The curry fried rice is delicious. While the sauce doesn't seem like it is demiglace sauce but something similar to Bulldog Brand Sauce. It still worked. Definitely recommended.“

“This place is easily one of the best sushi spots on 2nd street, delicious options with plentiful portions. I tried the Mexican, AAA roll and the deep fried California roll with all 3 being stellar. The atmosphere is lively and the greeting when you walk in from the sushi chefs is nice ?
Kid-friendliness: Kids menu portion has 4 different options, basic chicken with veggies and rice being one of them.

“This is my 2nd time visiting Meiji. The food was so good and I totally forgot to take some pictures and write the review on my 1st visit. Today I took some pictures and wrote this review. This place has best udon in town. I ordered 4 most popular dishes, beef Shabu Shabu Udon, Shrimp Tempura Udon, Fried Squid Legs, and Fried Chicken. They are all very tasty. Their udon noodles are handmade and the soup broth is so delicious. The restaurant has ambience of Japanese tastes of hometown. This restaurant is not very big but they do offer online waiting list. I would recommend joining their waiting list before you visit the restaurant. Definitely will come back again!“

“I visited this place for the first time in a long time, and it seems the ownership has changed. The portions have become more generous, and the food is very fresh. It looks like they primarily do takeout, but it’s nice to dine in as well when you’re in the mood for a quick sushi fix.“

“Simple food is simply the best food! The gyoza was made with love and soo tasty, and the pan-fried crispy side was perfection! The tonkatzu was crispy and juicy! Perfect to dredge through the sweet and spicy curry ? ? I ate it all! The servers were really friendly, and the atmosphere was fun with Japanese pop music playing. The place just needed one more thing, you! Go check it out and bring some friends!“

“My brother and I wanted to try a new ramen place and ended up here. The food itself was great as I got the bulduk ramen and tempura shrimp and my brother got the tonkatsu. It was all good until I wanted the check. We sat for 30 minutes waiting for a check. The front of staff was more concerned with the group next to us or being idle. I have pressed to call for a server multiple times and hearing the ping letting them know a table needed help but I could not get their attention. I only got my check after the table next to us asked for a check when I told them I wanted a check. I partly blame the system for not properly letting the staff know since the ping only went off for a server request but also for how unattentive the staff is to some other guests. We were at the corner of the bar.“

“I had to call ahead of time before ordering my daughter her crunch roll through door dash. My daughter is very allergic to mayo and Angel and the manager from Raku were able to help us out. They were able to remove the mayo from the crunch roll so my daughter can eat. I really appreciate how wonderful and amazing service Raku Sushi is with their customers.“

“Hang A Ri Kalgooksu is a hidden gem that brings the true flavors of Korean comfort food to life. Tucked away in a quiet corner, this unassuming spot is all about the quality of its food, particularly the kalguksu, a traditional handmade noodle soup.
From the moment you step inside, you’re welcomed by the warm, homey atmosphere that makes you feel like you’re about to enjoy a meal at a close friend’s house. The star of the menu is, of course, the kalguksu. The broth is rich and deeply flavorful, clearly simmered for hours to achieve that perfect balance of savory and umami. The noodles are the highlight—thick, chewy, and with just the right amount of bite, they’re clearly made with care and attention.
One of the standout dishes was the kimchi kalguksu, which had just the right amount of spice and tang from the kimchi, adding a delightful kick to the soothing broth. The mandu (Korean dumplings) were another must-try, with their thin, delicate skins and generously filled interiors, perfectly steamed to seal in all the juices.
The service was friendly and efficient, with staff who are clearly passionate about the food they serve. They made sure we had everything we needed and were quick to offer recommendations when asked.
Hang A Ri Kalgooksu is the kind of place that keeps you coming back. It’s comforting, authentic, and unpretentious—a perfect spot for a satisfying meal that feels like a warm hug in a bowl. If you’re in the mood for something hearty and homemade, this is the place to go“

“This was one of the coolest experiences, maybe ever. LolIt's not actually a storefront(?), but seems to be this yellow warehouse with a little entry room that has some lockers on one side, a little desk for an attendant built into the wall, and a computer for orderingThe computer has menus for a couple dozen restaurants and your order, then wait for the order to finish and it acts like a doordash or Uber eats for pickup.I ordered sushi. My partners for Mexican food - everybody was happy ?I dunno if its just because we were there at 1 AM, but the parking was PACKED with food trucks that were obviously closed for the night.This place doesn't really *do* atmosphere, per say, but I suppose you could think of it like an Amazon warehouse pickup station.“

“Food itself was excellent with their tasty broth and tender meats. The udon noodles were amazing all around. The soup dumplings are a must try also with the pork inside being so savory. The service itself was very quick and using a self ordering kiosk is very easy and honestly convenient. Atmosphere wise the whole place is small so it creates a cozy vibe while you chow down on some awesome food. 10/10 will be coming back after our next disneyland trip.“
