Had a quick dinner here. Ramen was tasty and the fried chicken was delicious! Would eat here again if I'm back in the area.

Cant say the name without a little laugh and the ramen was really good. Plenty of neat options to chose from and really hits the spot.

Definitely one of best ramen spots we’ve ever found! We happened to stumble upon this spot for an early dinner on the way to a concert nearby since we were craving something warm and this definitely hit the spot! I got the vegetarian ramen and my friends each got a different type of ramen on the menu. Everyone loved their dish and wished we could have seconds! The spice was just right! Everyone said their broth was definitely flavorful. As for the vegetarian ramen, I was impressed with the amount of veggies and tofu, along with the depth of flavor this dish had. I love how each ramen on the menu already comes with just the right amount of toppings along with the soft boiled egg. Unlike other ramen places where you literally have to pay for each topping which should basically be part of the dish to begin with. I literally think about this ramen often as all the other ramen restaurants we’ve tried so far do not compare to this! But I definitely would recommend and plan to come back whenever I visit the area again!

I was really looking forward to trying this place based on its high ratings, but it ended up being one of the most disappointing restaurant experiences I’ve had in the past two years of exploring new spots. We ordered three dishes: Brussels Sprouts – Usually one of my go-to items, but these were deep-fried and completely lacked flavor. Just greasy with no seasoning or balance. Fried Shishito Peppers – The peppers themselves were fine, but the dipping sauce was off-putting and didn’t complement the dish at all. Vegetarian Ramen – This was the biggest letdown. The broth had zero depth or flavor, and overall the dish felt flat and thrown together. To make it worse, the vegetarian options were very limited and poorly executed. If you’re vegetarian or looking for plant-based dishes, this is not a good place. I rarely write negative reviews, but this meal felt like a total miss — especially given how well-rated the restaurant is.

The service is ok, but the ramen is a 15 out of 100, I think. The quality of the noodles and broth are really bad.
Good ramen, but not the best compared to others. If you’re expecting truly authentic ramen, this is far from it. It’s closer to being westernized—or maybe even Californianized. Still, it’s a good place to start your ramen experience. I don’t see why anyone would dislike it. Oh, and the price has definitely been ‘Irvine-ized.’

Every time I come here, I’m reminded why this is my favorite ramen spot—not only for the delicious ramen, but also for the amazing service. Xochitz is hands down one of the best servers I’ve ever had. She’s friendly, attentive, and always makes sure my order is perfect. You can tell she genuinely cares about her customers and loves what she does. She remembers little details, checks in at just the right time, and somehow makes every visit feel special. Thank you, Xochitz, for making every bowl of ramen taste even better with your great service!

Absolute zero, had a really long day and just wanted a good bowl of ramen. They sat us down and no one ever came back, even for water. They sat two other people down and immediately handed them menus. Terrible service, we left immediately after that. What a trash place.

Nice location with very friendly staff and quick service. The karage was delicious along with their rice bowls.
