Butaton Ramen - Orange

This place is my new favorite ramen spot. Moved here from LA (Sawtelle) a year ago and after many Ramen tastings this was definitely above and beyond anything I have found in OC. Highly recommend for the delicious spicy Tsukemen and this place for the customers, authentic ramen atmosphere.

Excellent ramen spot! The broth is rich and balanced, noodles are super fresh and chewy, and the chashuu is incredibly savory. Definitely coming back.

Kid-friendliness: The atmosphere is unstuffy and bustling. They offer high chairs.

The service was a bit confusing- the server didn’t really greet us or introduce himself or do what most waiters do.

I had to go up to the counter to let him know I was ready…

Raman was good. The seaweed salad was also good, nice portion.

The music they had playing was loud and inappropriate for a restaurant that I would return to- kind of like heavy metal.

Why do Asians cutting the wrong corners!? We came to Butaton Ramen for lunch, Orange CA location on July 30, 2024. at 11:30 opening time. The restaurant had zero, no customers at the time. Our party was 5 people. They insisted on squeezing the 5 of us in a small table for 4. The owner added a chair for me to sit on the end. I asked the guy, "Could we join the small table beside our table, so that we don't have to so squished?" He insisted: NO! and made us sit in a tiny table. Meanwhile the restaurant had no other customer. I told the man: "There is no one else in the restaurant, it's empty right now." It cost them nothing to allow me to sit in table next to our table!! So dumb, small minded business customer service mentality. The food was greasy. There is an inch of oil in our ramen soup.

Foodbwas good. Services were even better ?

We ordered seven bowls of noodles, two appetizers, and a poke bowl. One of our kids' ramen had a hair in it. We informed the waiter, who replaced it without offering a sincere apology. Additionally, an 18% service charge was applied directly.
