Ramen Restaurants near Orange, CA

“very tasty ramen n rolls, they came out fast, friendly waiters, totally recommend 10/10“

“Waited approximately one hour to be seated. Spoiker: it was well worth that wait. I ordered the tonkatsu ramen and pork buns. I can't decide which part was better, the noodles or the broth! The pork buns were priced just right at $8 for 2. Some of the best I've had. You are all so lucky to have such a wonderful ramen bar in your community. I am from Maine and will be sure to stop by this establishment every chance I get once I am in town.“

“had the butaton Ramen, very very good! 1st time here, I definitely will be coming back!“

“This place usually has a line, but if you go early enough of during off peak hours you'll be served quickly and efficiently.
The staff are always friendly and the quality of the food is very consistent.
My wife picked up the vegan yasai ramen which is a ginger mushroom broth base, while I ordered the standard spicy tonkotsu.
If you come during lunch their $1 special is an incredible deal, if you come after lunch then their other add on deals are still definitely worth it!
We shared an additional rainbow roll which was an assortment of their salmon, tuna and or yellow tail with a crab combination. A great deal and option if you wanted to try all their fish.
The ambiance is very nice and easy going, a small quaint space with lines and tables moving quickly even if you're outside waiting. Definitely a worth while spot if you're looking for sushi or ramen!“

“Yoshiharu Ramen in Anaheim totally lives up to its rep as a top spot for authentic Hokkaido-style ramen! I ordered the Black Tonkatsu Ramen, and wow, it was a flavor bomb—rich, garlicky broth with that perfect umami kick, paired with tender pork and perfectly cooked noodles. The vibe here feels like a nod to Japan’s ramen history, from the Meiji Period roots to Tokyo’s iconic Rairaiken. You can tell they’re serious about their craft, just like their #1 OC Register rating suggests. If you’re in Anaheim and craving legit ramen, this place is a must-visit!“

“First time coming here and sushi is pretty good quality. I opted for the spicy tonkotsu but was not spicy enough, but the pork chashu was pretty charred and tasty. I also ordered the yellowtail lover and tuna with lemon slices roll.

All rolls are 4 pieces which is nice because if you want to try many rolls vs just trying one roll. 4 pieces for under 10 dollars is such a good deal. People recommended me the sashimi salad or 2 other options that are big enough for 4 people with variety of fresh sashimi.“

“Service was amazing! The waitress was so nice and reminded us about the deal when we were so close to it, thank you. And the food was really good for the price. Honestly, didn't have much expectations but it was really good for such a small place.“

“Just discovered Aburi, had a great experience all around.. their staff, food, and atmosphere were all top notch. Adding this to our go-to lunch spots. Oh, and great value (prices/specials) too! Give it a shot if you’re looking for a new sushi spot in HB.“

“Best Raman in United States hands down!!! Make sure u add Black garlic and hot spicy sauce“

“This place is incredible!! The broth is so flavorful and the karaage is hands down the best I've ever had - it melts in your mouth like toro!!! I've eaten at many ramen spots in and out of Japan, and this is the real deal - authentic, delicious, fresh meals cooked with love and skill! Domo arigato gozaimasu!!

Parking: Going just past the restaurant there's a large open parking lot.“

“It was yummy and fast. Everything was fresh and clean“

“This is where you can find authentic mazemen in OC. It literally means mix mix noodles and I got the chance to try it at Mogu Mogu's newest location in Fullerton.

I went with the Deluxe and it came with loads of toppings like spicy minced pork, a poached egg, and more chashu pork. You mix, mix, mix as much as you can and enjoy!

Paired it with their Takoyaki which comes in either a crispy or soft shell, or crispy shell in soup! The crispy shell was such a hit for me and I can't wait to be back :)

Thanks for reading! ^-^“

“Went for an early dinner on Tuesday. I was surprised to find a brand new AYCE menu option at the Garden Grove location. It is $24 and available all day. There is a lot of ramen, appetizers and sushi rolls to choose from.

I had the tonkatsu black ramen which had a lot of toppings. The noodles were chewy and bouncy. The broth was fantastic. I also had the tonkatsu miso ramen. Just as delicious and recommend both.

For appetizers I recommend the grilled gyoza, the shrimp tempura and the egg rolls. The char is the grilled gyoza took it to another level for me. The tempura is crispy and not oily at all. The egg rolls were crispy and filled with flavorful vegetables.

For sushi rolls I got a California roll, a Dragon roll, an OMG roll and spam musubi. The rolls are all really packed with ingredients and all fresh and delicious. The spam musubi is really thick cut. I recommend all of them.

The AYCE MENU is only available at the Garden Grove location and I cannot wait to go back and try more options.“

“Best Ramen spot I've ever been to. Love the thin soft noodles and broth is delicious!!! This is one of our top weekly spots especially with this cold weather, absolutely perfect!!“

“Vegan Ramen for me in Buena Park. Yay!“

“I love their happy hour deal. If you buy a ramen, sushi or poke, you can get a drink or appetizer for a much lower price. The ramen was pretty good. I didn't add spice and it was very flavorful already. I tried the medium and it was too spicy for me. The pork belly isn't very tasty but the ramen makes up for it. Very good prices for a decent amount of food.“

“I’ve visited this grocery store several times (out of towner and only visit Cali once a year), but this is my first time trying Hokkaido Ramen. I kept my expectations low, since this is located in a food court, but I was surprised by the layer of flavors I could taste in this bowl of spicy ramen. By the way, THIS is the regular size, so I’m so glad I didn’t get the large size.

I liked that the toppings were served separately from the noodles and the broth. I could either dunk them in the soup before my bite, or eat them as is. The half boiled egg was soooo good with the spicy soup though!!! My tummy is so satisfied!

Granted it was a Saturday in the middle of the lunch rush, the wait was only 10 minutes. I’m so glad I made the right choice. FYI I was given a buzzer so I didn’t mind that my seat was on the opposite side of the food court.“

“Amazing authentic Ramen. Service and food was excellent. My new favorite in Lombard!“

“Great Ramen! You can either build your own or order or something off the menu and ordering off the menu is definitely a little bit less.
Soup was really good, although I think I prefer it with udon noodles instead of the yellow ones.
It was the perfect food on a rainy day.“

“I have to admit, I should have checked Yelp before visiting this trendy new brothless ramen spot. I’m not one to chase after the latest restaurant fads, but I thought I’d give it a shot. Unfortunately, my experience didn’t live up to the hype. I anticipated a one-hour wait, but it ended up being an exasperating 1 hour and 40 minutes—definitely not ideal.
While the food was genuinely good, I can't help but wonder if it was worth that long wait. The outdoor seating was nonexistent, and it was frustrating to watch servers moving at a leisurely pace, seemingly with no sense of urgency. The service itself felt lackluster, which added to my disappointment.
On the plus side, the noodles were absolutely delicious and clearly the highlight of the meal. However, when weighing the wait time, service, and price against the food quality, the overall experience just didn’t come out on top for me.
If you decide to give it a try, be sure to add yourself to the Yelp waitlist beforehand. Hopefully, your experience will be better than mine! If you’re willing to wait it out, you might find gems on their menu, but be prepared for a less-than-stellar dining experience in the meantime.“

“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.“

“If you’re a content creator this place is for you. They get treated better than the average person staff are attentive to them . If you are a regular person like me . Welp let just say it takes a while to be seen only attentive person was Issac he was nice actually genuinely seems interesting in giving good service.“

“had the butaton Ramen, very very good! 1st time here, I definitely will be coming back!“

“I'm not the biggest fan of ramen but I liked this one! It's a bit pricey (almost $20 per bowl) but that's SoCal! And the bowls are well served. They are rich in flavor. Be warned that there is a waiting system so you probably want to make a reservation beforehand. We registered in person an hour before closing and were let in within 20 minutes. I've never craved ramen before but I am this time!“

“Soooooo good. I can still get in here with no line, however, there will come a time…….when there will be a long wait!“

“The Black Garlic Ramen & the potstickers“

“Amazing authentic Ramen. Service and food was excellent. My new favorite in Lombard!“

“This is a hidden gem among the other korean reseaurants/businesses in this area. Both their ramen and udon are very good. I can't believe I've never been here when I was growing up in Southern California. I don't live in this area anymore, but it's always nice to come back from time to time. This reseaurant also has a really nice music playlist.“

“Delicious sushi with an extensive menu in the heart of Downtown Fullerton! The ambience was creative and casual. Right in the middle of all the shops and bars. The food was flavorful and the prices were fair, they had some good deals like buy a roll get one half off, buy one hot sake and get a second for .99cents. Its a lowkey local spot but feels like you’re somewhere in Japan. So much to choose from menu wise, cold food, hot food…Yumminess for days!“

“This and marafuku are my top ramen places in Irvine. Everything in the bowl is elevated and exceptional, great quality control and nice thick pieces of flavorful pork unlike most other traditional ramen spots that serve thin dry pork. The broth at times can seem a little too fatty/thick but that's a minor complaint. Also the indoor seating is very cramped and limited with reserved signs on all the tables, making you feel like you can't sit inside and have to use the outdoor seating only. As a ramen restaurant this is the opposite ambiance of what it should feel like.“

“Antony was an amazing server! He was super friendly, attentive, and made us feel very welcome from the moment we walked in. He gave great recommendations — the ramen he suggested was absolutely delicious! Thank you for making our visit extra enjoyable. We’ll definitely come back!“

“The food here was so delicious! The quality of the sashimi is really fresh. We got the Chubby Sashimi, and it did not disappoint. The price for the food is also really reasonable. The Chubby Sashimi was only $60. At other places, it would probably be at least $100. The oysters were amazing. They were super clean and tasted buttery. My kids loved the rolls so much they wanted seconds. Our server was so nice and attentive. Overall, everything was amazing. Definitely would recommend this place.“
