Ramen Restaurants near Orange, CA

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

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

“We ordered Tokutsu ramen, both the spicy and normal ones. They have a good deal on sushi if you order ramen, so we got the California roll and salmon roll.
The rolls tasted good, but the meat in the ramen was just so-so and didn’t taste very fresh“

“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.“

“Cute little Place. Sushi was excellent and an amazing value. The owners are sweet and helpful. Really happy to find GotSushi & Grill. New favorite place to stop when I am hungry on this side of town. 😁😍☘❣“

“Great value for $29.99! The sushi is made fresh to order, with generous slices of fish and less rice. The salmon and tuna sashimi are fresh and delicious. The mussels were my favorite—I kept ordering more! The shrimp tempura was also freshly fried, crispy outside and tender inside. A great variety of choices for a satisfying all-you-can-eat meal!“

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

“My teenagers and I had the Motto Black, the Motto Red, and the Motto Special. All bowls were tasty and delicious. Noodles were fresh and the chaschu melted in your mouth. Staff was super friendly and attentive. I would recommend as a casual and family friendly atmosphere. We will definitely be back again.“

“First time here. Long line to get in but it moved fairly quickly. Had the Roast beef Aburasoba. Mind-Boggling GOOD! The flavor was out of this world! The service was fantastic!! I can’t wait to go back again!“

“the noodles are always have the perfect chewiness and thickness. the toppings and sause is slightly spicy and truly delicious. i personally like wadaya more than the place near 99 ranch. the staff is also super nice. highly recommended checking this place out.“

“Excelente. Servicio variedad. De comida. Deliciosas . Y frescas“

“Great food and an absolute must-visit spot in Fullerton! The Tonkotsu Ramen and Salmon Poké Bowl were exceptionally fresh, flavorful, and satisfying.
What makes it even better are the fantastic deals they offer. As a student, the 10% student discount is a huge plus, and their Ramen Hub Special lets you add boba, drinks, or rice bowls for a super affordable price when you order an entree. The staff is friendly, and the atmosphere is great for a casual meal or hang-out. Highly recommend!“

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

“I went in here on a whim after not eating all day, craving soup and seeing the long line. I figured, “why not?” The line was lengthy, but to speed the process, there was someone outside providing the menu and answering questions. They also. Kept in consideration that I was eating solo, so when a seat at the bar opened up, it was given to me.

As soon as I sat down, my server confirmed what I wrote and I KID YOU NOT, my food was in front of me a minute later. There was water on the table on front of you so you didn’t have to ask for refills, and all the extra condiments were on the table as well. I simply got to enjoy my food and just had to ask for the check and paid on my way out. This was my kind of dining!“

“As one of the 1.5 billion people in the world who can't eat pork, the world of real ramen has been closed to me. This paitan ramen had perfect noodles and a rich chicken broth. They have the choice between traditional pork slices or slices of the most tender chicken breast. You place orders on a ticket so each person orders exactly as they want. I recommend the spicy chicken paitan.“

“Chubby Sushi in Brea has a great interior decor and vibrant atmosphere. The fish was overall very fresh and decent quality! We tried the Chubby Roll, Chubby Angel Roll, Chubby Sashimi, and fresh oysters—all of which were solid choices.
​A couple of minor downsides to our visit: we specifically came to try the Bluefin Tuna Lover, but unfortunately, they were out. Also, our server brought out fresh wasabi without mentioning it carries an additional $4 charge each, which felt a bit misleading on the bill.“

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

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

“Great food when in the mood for udon noodles or Ramen. Every dish tasted amazing and there was a variety of choices to include appetizers. Plenty of seating after pouring in your order at the kiosk. Once you're number is called you pick up your order and add spices, oils, ginger,etc as you want to your dish. When done you bring your trays to a stacked area (kind of full). Plenty of parking up front and the restrooms were clean.“

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

“What is surprisingly fun place. First time, we've been to a make your own ramen place. The worker was so friendly in helping us pick out the noodles we wanted, how to heat it and the toppings and everything. They had a great variety of different types of ramen.

What a very novel idea and all around fun, place to go.“

“I go here almost every week with my fiance. The BOGO 50% off deal takes this place from a 4 to a 5. The food itself is decent, but it's by far the cheapest place around to get a quality bowl of ramen and plate of sushi. The staff are all super friendly and helpful as well.“

“Fabulous and delicious food the staff are great“

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

“The service is friendly and attentive, and I've had good experiences here with the sushi. Today came to try the ramen, had a not so good experience ordering it here before and thought maybe it was just an off day, unfortunately it wasn't. I'm sort of a ramen snob, and we ordered the Tonkotsu and the Black ramen. Both were disappointing.the black ramen has a pork broth like the tonkotsu, but it seemed overly salty, as if the base was primarily soy sauce, and the regular tonkotsu although was a bit smoother still was lacking in flavor. The noodles were chewy and seemed almost as if they used noodles from a Top Ramen package. I'll continue to visit them for sushi on occasion, but that will be my last ramen attempt here.“

“Good food and fast service.“

“Just realized after the fact that this is a local Japanese ramen chain, I haven’t been to Hokkaido so I can’t comment on the authenticity but it’s a pretty good bowl of ramen. I got the D set (shio) and it came with a side of chahan. Very filling and very tasty, the staff was great too.“

“Such a great find! The food was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. They have an impressive selection of vegetarian and vegan options, which can be hard to find at sushi restaurants, and everything we ordered was delicious.

The service was friendly and attentive without being overbearing, and the restaurant was clean with a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere. You can tell they take pride in both the quality of the food and the overall experience.

If you’re in the Fullerton area and craving sushi or ramen, this place is definitely worth a visit. I’ll absolutely be back!“

“the best of the best , awesome food, beautiful employees, perfection“

“First time here. I knew it was going to be good where there were people waiting in line outside at lunch on a Saturday. Every single thing we ordered was so gratifying and delicious. I felt like I was in Japan. It was wonderful and I highly recommend. Just a charming place!“

“Came here right after dinner rush, around 7:30pm. We were able to be seated right away. The staff informed us that we could order on our phone, which was neat because we can browse the menu and order at our own pace. In addition to the mazesoba bowls we ordered, we also got the matcha latte, which was amazing! It had a good strength and was not milky at all! I get matcha every time I come here and it never disappoints. Eric was very helpful and attended to us properly whenever we needed anything. Great waiter.“

“😋😋 good eating experience“

“Great menu. Great service. My go to Teriyaki and Sushi place!“

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

“Generally very good for weekdays. Weekends would give clients a hard time. Food is great but ramens are salty. Tips are highly recommended and would become kind of offensive if you don’t follow them. Still 5 stars for dedicated food cooking skills and preparation.“

“I've ordered food to-go and dined in at this location. I ordered sushi and ramen to-go and it was good. The ramen was surprisingly hot for a long while. The tempura was great and everything was packaged well and kept warm/hot even after I got home and began eating it.
We had dinner here after going to the axe throwing place close by and were seated right away. They're open late and we ordered multiple sushi rolls for the table and were delightfully full. I enjoyed the Jessica Alba roll and would get it again in the future. Parking is doable but it gets pretty packed at night and on the weekends so it may take a few extra minutes but I'm always able to find parking in less than 10 minutes. Would recommend for a solid Japanese dinner in a casual setting with friends or family.“

“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.“

“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!!“

“Really enjoyed the ramen at HiroNori!

The broth was rich and flavorful, and the noodles had a great texture. They also have a good selection of appetizers to start with. Everything tasted fresh and was prepared well.

Definitely a great spot for quality ramen, and I would come back again.“

“Usually I save TikTok videos of restaurants I wanna try when I travel to LA but we were starving when we got out of the source oc plaza and just randomly searched a ramen place nearby. This was the place nearest to us that the ramen pics looked appealing. I have to say the ramen here was amazing. It tasted almost the same to the ramen we tried in our trip to Tokyo. And our server was so nice and attentive. He was so sweet that he gave our mom her drink for free since she wasn’t going to consume food due to not liking ramen but she was accompanying us. Found this place by accident but i have now marked it as a favorite and will definitely go back!“

“I have been here many times over nearly 10 years. The quality of food is consistently excellent. If you love chunks-ryori in Japan, you won’t be disappointed (in my case I was so delighted that I brought my parents who were visiting from Japan, who were thrilled to have real Japanese food.“

“I've tried ramen all over California, other states, and even in Japan, but Santouka's spicy miso ramen still remains my favorite bowl of all time.

Perhaps my taste buds have been biased by nostalgia over the 8 years I've been coming to this location, but I still stand behind my opinion. There is something so unique about the flavor of the ramen here that I haven't really been able to find anywhere else. Other trendy ramen spots and their signature ramens start blending together in my mind, unlike Santouka.

Santouka offers simple, solid bowls of ramen. They don't claim to be the best, and they really shouldn't need to. Honestly, I don't even think it's the best ramen I've had in terms of quality objectively. But I still always find myself coming back.

I miss the cash-only days with the friendly, but no-nonsense, old lady at the front counter, but the ramen still tastes the exact same as I always remember it.

I also want to highlight that the Irvine location gives WAY more noodles compared to other Santouka locations (like Costa Mesa).“

“Delicious quality food and the service is very nice and welcoming.“

“We always had our lunch here every time we passed Fullerton. I like their aka ramen. It reminds me the ramen I had in Japan. The texture of noodles is just right. The broth is favorable and delicious. Also the food there is very consistent.“

“Excelente servicio y alimentos exquisitos“

“If you’ve ever driven by this cozy Korean spot with traditional hanok-style windows and a constant line out the door, you’ll know why I’ve been curious about Hangari Kalguksu for a while. I finally caught a quiet weekday afternoon and went in right away.

The menu comes in Korean and English, but the English side is mostly phonetic, so don’t be surprised if it doesn’t help much. I just pointed at the Korean menu and ordered their signature kalguksu ($17.99). They also offer sujebi, rice cake dumpling soup, cold noodles like buckwheat or soybean, plus classics like tteokbokki and fried snacks.

Banchan was simple yeolmu kimchi, light and refreshing. Then came the main event, a massive bowl of kalguksu, easily double the portion you’d expect, with a small side of barley rice (boribap). The broth was surprisingly clean and slightly sweet, loaded with shrimp, clams, potatoes, zucchini, and seaweed.

Pro tip: serve some noodles into your small bowl, then mix in their chili paste and sesame oil. It instantly levels up the flavor. Super comforting and honestly hard to stop eating so I ended up finishing the whole thing without realizing it.

Portions are huge, so sharing isn’t a bad idea. If you can’t finish, just ask for a to-go box.

They accept cash and Visa/Mastercard only.

Also worth noting, there’s another Hangari Kalguksu in LA (ktown) with a similar name and a more expanded menu. Not sure if they’re related, but something to keep in mind if you’re exploring different locations.“

“Ultramen is easily one of my top 3 go-to spots for Japanese food. I usually get their rolls and Japanese ramen, and honestly, everything I’ve tried here has been delicious.

What I really like about this place is the value. The prices are really affordable for the portion sizes, quality, and taste you get. You can have a really satisfying meal without spending too much.

I especially recommend this spot for students who are on a budget but still want good-quality Japanese food. Definitely one of those places I keep coming back to!“

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

“A top ramen spot in Orange County located minutes from Downtown Fullerton. Go to dish is the Tonkotsu Ramen. Love the consistency of the noodles and the rich flavored broth. Service is always exceptional with a welcoming atmosphere. I drive past many ramen spots just to come here. That alone should say a lot!“

“Whenever I’m in town for work, this is my first stop. Coworkers recommend all sorts of ramen restaurants, but this place lives rent-free in my head so I always go back. Fantastic service and some of my favorite ramen. Cannot stop thinking the habanero miso ramen!!“
