Sadly one of the few places I've been able to eat the whole thing without needing a box. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! Male wait staff is just better!
Had a really good experience at GU Ramen Taps & Tapas recently. The ramen was flavorful, the tapas were perfect for sharing, and the drinks selection was solid too. We went during happy hour and the atmosphere was super fun and relaxed, definitely a place we’ll be coming back to.
The ramen and the pork broth were so yummy! And the service we had was wonderful! Will be back!

Based on the reviews, GU Ramen Taps & Tapas is a charming little spot right on the Pacific Coast Highway. The restaurant offers flavorful ramen and tapas that are perfect for sharing, with a solid drinks selection including a strong draft beer list. The atmosphere is super fun and relaxed, making it a cozy place frequented by both locals and tourists. The ramen is outstanding, with the super spicy tonkotsu with mayu garlic oil being highly recommended for its rich, creamy, and deeply satisfying broth and excellent noodle texture. There are also vegetarian and vegan options available, and guests should let the staff know about any allergies or dietary restrictions when ordering. The service is attentive, friendly, and happy to help, and the whole experience feels easy and welcoming. The owner is charming, sincere, and deeply invested in the restaurant. For dessert, the yummy matcha ice cream cone is a treat. GU Ramen was the best dining experience in Laguna Beach and a highlight of many trips.
