“Love this local spot. The ramen is so good, love the Spicy Miso especially. It's got good flavor but not too spicy. All the rolls have been yummy too! The vibe is anime which is super cute and casual. Service has always been solid even when they are busy. Have been back several times and it's consistently good!!“

“Didnt intend on having real deal Japanese cuisine but was lured in by the aroma in the parking lot. Glad I went in and got the black garlic mushroom pork ramen. Earthy deep flavors with the green onions, a good depth of flavor and nice change from miso broth. Ended ordering sushi roll made with rice paper crab yellowtail and Maguru and asparagus. Omg very happy tummy. 99 cent sapporo to wash it all down. Mango and green tea moshi to top it all off.Vegetarian options: Vegetables noodles, soy tofu plates, multiple salads.“
“The sushi here is to die for!!!! We moved about 45 minutes away and when ever we crave sushi we will make the drive. I have yet to find a sushi restaurant near me that comes even close to Osaka Story! My husband and I make sure we come once a month. My husband love the quality, atmosphere, customer service, and the amazing people that work here. Thank you Reyna and the rest of Osaka story crew!“
“It just doesn’t get any better than this. I’m telling you, it’s the best ramen in America. The tonkatsu broth is cooked for 24 hours and you can taste the depth of flavor in every bite. The crispy chicken is a perfect starter. Served fresh and hot and super crispy. Edamame is fantastic as well as the pork buns. They add the tip on the total, So be careful not to double tip the server. (Unless you want to!) Strip mall has free parking, but the entire area is busy, so you may have trouble finding a spot.“
“I really can't say enough about how good Kashiwa Ramen is; I love it so much I've eaten here several times in the last two weeks.This has to be one of the best ramen spots in OC currently. It originally started in Japan and came over to the States. In terms of quality, it definitely seems authentic.I've tried several items on the menu, and every time, it's delicious. I highly recommend dining in, but even if you order to go, or through doordash, it always comes piping hot and high quality.Today, I tried the Tsukumen, which is hard to find at other shops because it is a traditional dipping noodle where you dip it in the soup. I would highly recommend trying their tonkatsu ramen, although they also have other great items like smaller portion chashu rice bowls, which I swear the meat is so soft and tender. The chashu pork comes out great every time. The soft boiled egg is perfection. Both the straight and wavy noodles are wonderful. They also have a swirl broth, which is absolutely delicious; it's a mix of their pork and chicken broth together. They also have green tea, which tastes really crisp and fresh. They also have chicken if you don't eat pork.Overall, I really love Kashiwa and plan to continue frequenting it. The only critique I can give is that I wish the waitresses would check in on the tables at least once or twice every so often. Everyone is so kind and polite and the service is very fast. Dining by myself, i am in and out in under 30 minutes or so.Thank you so much for the wonderful meals, I plan to continue coming here in the future, and I hope more people come too.Vegetarian options: They do have tofu as protein for all ramen, miso ramen, sea kelp ramen, and other various side dishes like egg on rice.I would double-check with the waitresses to make sure the broth is 100% vegetarian.Dietary restrictions: If you do not eat pork, they have chicken as a protein topping as well.Parking: Big parking lot in a busy shopping center.Kid-friendliness: There are probably not a ton of options for kids, but if your kids are more adventurous, im sure they would enjoy it. I believe I've seen kids eating pretty plain ramen, just noodles and broth.Wheelchair accessibility: I'm pretty sure it's accessible to get in, but it is a small store and pretty tight. You may be able to fit your wheel chair at the counter if you ask.“
“I highly recommend this hidden gem here in orange county. The fish and the quality is top notch. Super reasonable. The waitress and owner was very polite and their so welcoming. I had to order the sushi about 2_3 times. It that good. The ramen is very fresh and so yummy. We are recommending this spot to all our clients friends and family. Great aesthetic and very clean place. Free sake with your order. I really enjoyed my time.“
“Got the Tokyo Mazeman regular everything (garlic, etc) and it was AMAZING. Glad they gave rice for the end because I wanted to soak up the leftover sauce and chives. Also, adding their house vinegar really makes the mazeman and cuts into the oils of the sauce - highly recommend. The regular Tokyo version has a small kick, so I also had their draft Asahi to make the experience just right.Vegetarian options: There's a separate section for vegetarian and vegan optionsParking: Parking is easy in the plaza“
“Had dinner with my daughter we had the Tonkotsu Shoyu and Tonkotsu Black ramen which did not disappoint. Great service as we didn't have to wait to be seated or for our food. Definitely coming back to try the ribs with the ramen next time.“
“Tried this place out for lunch and left very happy! It was pretty dead for a Thursday at noon but I assume for evenings they get busier. My husband got the OG Platter which came with two tacos, a quesadilla, and a mulita and he was happy with the portion size. I got the Birria Ramen and man was it full of meat. They normally put cheese but I didn't want that with my ramen. The broth is so good and not too oily like other places. I really enjoyed that the meat was not too fatty so you are getting good quality. We also got a churro with lechera and strawberry ice cream which was so good I forgot to take a picture. I enjoyed everything so much I can't wait to go back!“
“Spontaneously walked into this place. Our server had to be in high-school. I don't remember his name but he was a great server, polite, and really took care of us. The food here is REALLY good and their sauces give it a unique experience. I got the hot pork buns and they were “
“Small, husband & wife shop. Beef and Chicken Teriyaki Bento - came with salad, 4pc California rolls, 2pc egg rolls, and rice. Heavy packed with the rice and meats. Tasted actually pretty scrumptious. Only minor complaint would be the beef was tuff.“
“I really like this place, its the best ramen ive had so far, between a handful of other places. I feel like it has the most flavor.The sushi is also really good, good appetizers. All around its a great spot.Ive been here a few times and always enjoyed it.“
“Small ramen menu, recommended the spicy tuna rice. Only I do not like is their location. Have to wait outside the building until someone open the door for you.Also, they add 16.16% service charge in the bill. Have no problem with that since their service is not bad.“
“We made reservation via Yelp. This restaurant is located in a small plaza with limited parking spaces. The service was excellent. The restaurant looks like a typical Japanese yakitori restaurant. It's clean. The ramen tastes alright. The yakitori tastes alright too. It's a nice restaurant just have a drink and to hang out with friends.“
“Ordered a tonkotsu ramen bowl while the wife ordered a beef yaki bowl. I'm not sure if I was just hungry or if the portion of the tonkotsu ramen was smaller than usual locations I've been to but it was delicious and I finished the entire thing! Not very common for me. I tried some of the beef yaki and that too was also quite nice. I would recommend this location for ramen and beef bowl lovers. The atmosphere is a bit rowdy but I was not bothered.Parking: There was plenty of spaces.“
“My friend and I ordered cold soba noodle combination with fried shrimp and veggies, takoyaki, curry soba and fried cartilage. They were all on point. The handmade soba noodles were cooked just right - chewy and bouncy. The fried shrimp with sweet soy sauce on top of white rice was also ?. I highly recommend this place!FYI, my friend is Japanese, and she approves as well!“
“I absolutely love Sushi and this is one of the best tasting sushi places I have been to in a long time. Maybe I was hungry. I had Tonkatsu Raman and the Raku Roll. The raman was very good and the Raku Roll was OUTSTANDING!! The roll was very large including ample fish and non-rice fillings. Price was also reasonable. I will be back next time I fly to SNA.“
“Vegetarians and vegans rejoice. This place has so many veggie options. I had the V2 Motto Special and my partner had the V4 Miso Ramen. Both were delicious! I liked mine because of the creamy broth and high quality toppings and my partner liked his because of the smoky/spicy flavor of the broth. Everything was made to order. Nice clean environment and they clearly put a lot of care into the place. Really amazing service too, the lady serving us was hilarious and so sweet! The condiments available were perfect. We will definitely be back to try the other 3 veggie ramen options. Zero complaints! So good! Thank you!“

“First Timer to a Ramen restaurant and as one should asked about the menu and customer favorites. Service was very helpful, very busy and staff were pleasant. I chose customer favorite and enjoyed it with warm sake. Entree was sufficient but many other tables had starters. I believe I would return to try another dish. 5pm is before the rush, we sat at 6pm and inside sitting was packed.“
“This is THE Ramen restaurant for my son and me. When friends want Ramen, this is where I tell them to go. The noodles are a superb texture. My son liked the original gyu-tonkotsu. I tried the chashu tsukemen and that is now my favorite. The broth was so scrumptious that I wanted to dip myself in it. The son finished the meal with a melon soda float. We were stuffed!!! Can't wait to go back for more.“

“This is the first place that I have had tsukemen which was fishy!!! It's a pork based dipping broth, which I much prefer. The noodles themselves have a great chew and the dipping sauce was appropriately flavored and not too salty like some dipping broths I've had in the past.“
“The food court environment makes this seem like it wouldn't be that good but I love the Ramen here. It's also a big plus that they re-did the seating in the food court area... Used to be almost impossible to get seating on a weekend.“
“We have been coming to KH for years, decades! The quality and authenticity of yakitori is just legit. All parts of the chicken is used and grill to perfection. Try them all, maybe in a few visits to you will be able to taste all the skewers! you will not be disappointed. When you enter KH, you are transported into the land of Japan and you will enjoy this ride so much, you might plan your next trip to the actual country of Japan. Enjoy this little trip to one of the best izakaya in the OC.“

“Such an amazing place!! One of the best ramen places I’ve been in OC. It feels authentic and the vibes are nice (music 10/10!!! Servers are amazing and the price is right! The karaage chicken is delish and the black garlic ramen 10/10. Serving portion is perfect!! Would definitely go again. おいしい!!“
“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!“
“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.“
“If I'm close enough to LBC I tend to get Chinese here as they have a nearly 50/50 menu offering vegan dupes of classics. They have meal specials which will give you drink, egg roll, and entree, so it's very affordable for a substantial dining experience. Over the years they've added ramen (although I secretly miss the rice burger, which was squished between crispy rice patties instead of buns). My fave is the New Orleans chicken. The vegan items are made to order and can take some time, so be prepared to be patient.“

“You will feel like going to a small ramen shop in Japan. The broth is flavourful and not salty like many other ramen restaurants. They have lunch specials with a combo of hakata ramen and a side dish, which is a good deal. The staff was friendly, and service was quick.“
“If you are looking for a more clean and flavorful broth for ramen, this is the place. Highly recommend this place because of their fresh ramen, great service, reasonable pricing, great for family setting, and creative flavors. Hands down best ramen place in OC.“
“Really love their hand made noddles! I also love their chicken karage with the yummy sauce that comes with it! The karakge is also has the lemon tangy that goes really well with the chicken! The Tukeman wasn’t thatGood as it used to be to be but the ramen is still delicious! I recommend this locations than any other location! LParking: Parking sucks here. It’s a small parking lot so void the rush hours.“
“Ordered karaage with came fresh and tasty. I ordered tonkatsu ramen after asking about the spicy tonkatsu ramen. The waitress said it was spicy compared to hot Cheetos which I don't do so I opted out, the broth was creamy I just prefer more garlic . I could have added on to the bowl I ordered for an additional fee but I decided not to. The chashu pork was a bit salty, my sister ordered the same bowl and shared it was too salty for her. Overall it was good, staff was friendly and the restaurant looked clean“

“Best noodle bowl I've ever eaten! Highly recommend! There was a line to wait but it moved quickly. You use the app to order and the food is served very quickly. My only down score about the atmosphere is that it's a small restaurant but other than that it's great food and great service!Kid-friendliness: Kid friendly food and provided silverware for my daughter who is still learning to use chopsticks“
“It's a bit out of the way, but when we're craving Korean home food after Disneyland at fair prices, we'll swing by here. The food is VERY reasonably priced for the amount of food provided. My husband and I share a soup (usually Kalgooksu or Ddukk mandoo gook) and a fried tempura plate. This is enough food for the both of us.You're given rice and radish-style kimchii to start off the palate, and then your main dishes come out. I love the kimchii and the rice -- call me Korean bc I most definitely am. The soup is always consistent. The tempura plate is HUGE. The restaurant is in a strip mall that has plenty of free parking.“
“This restaurant never failed me. They have the tastiest food ever and it's always fresh I love this place. They have the coolest employee's and the owner is welcoming and friendly. On top of that they have a good customer service. I give this place 10 out if 10. I recomend this place. Try them out ❤“
“Really enjoyed this place. I wanted one of everything all at the same time. I opted for the Sirloin steak on a hot sizzling lava stone, so it never ever got cold. It's a little more fatty than I like, but it's still really good.“
“My go to for DoorDash, this place has awesome food, I've never had anything bad show up. I want to try the actual restaurant one day but I live pretty far away. They don't have food like this in HB so thankfully I can order it, percent recommend giving this place a shot.“
“I recently visited Gomen Ramen in Stanton and had an amazing experience. This cozy restaurant serves delicious Japanese Ramen, appetizers, and drinks. Despite being busy during lunchtime, the service was friendly and the food was so flavorful. They offer a variety of noodle choices including thin, thick, spinach, tofu, low-carb, and gluten-free noodles. I enjoyed their healthy options.The menu include different types of broth like chicken, pork, and a veggie option. I loved the meat lover ramen with triple chasu as it was a generous portion and the soup was rich and flavorful. Additionally, they offer fried rice, udon, curry, and a variety of appetizers such as fried dumplings, takoyaki, and Karaage. The Karaage was especially good, perfectly fried and juicy.The service was friendly, although the food did take a while to arrive. However, the delicious food made the wait worthwhile.“
“This was a pretty decent sushi spot within walking distance from the beach, however it's a little pricey. There's a few tables that you can sit at outside, which unfortunately comes along with having to deal with quite a few flies. The sushi quality was good & the gyoza was my favorite! I'd come back to try the poke.“

“On top of their famous dumplings, we love all others we ordered.Beef curry rice bowl -- generous portion, tender beef brisket stew, mild Southeast Asisan flavor curry sauce. Yummy!Asisan Salad Bowl -- the dressing is very special and hearty, it tastes like made from fresh green chiliAngus Beef Bun -- delicious soft beef chunks on soft steam bun, tossed with spicies.“
“I always love coming to Tama Sushi when I’m in town! When I lived around here, it was my go to sushi place. My favorite rolls are the Hey Baby roll and the Deluxe Crunchy roll. I love that they have lots of vegan options as well! ?Vegetarian options: Tons of vegan sushi and appetizers! I have had some and they have delicious vegan rolls“
