We love Yoshiharu ramen, but this particular location leaves much to be desired..The first time we came to this location, the food was great but the service was poor. The waitresses seemed to be teenagers so we didn't want to be too harsh and decided to come again.Service was better this time, food was great as usual, but the cups we were given our drinks in were dirty and didn't seem properly washed. There were weird flakes and gunk I was able to scratch off with my fingers.Needless to say, we won't be returning to this location.

We used to come to this place when it first opened and they had the best chicken Karaage and really good chicken teriyaki plus ice cold Orion on draft. The owner was very personable too ... but after not going there for a few years, I stopped by today and had a pretty horrible experience with weak service, plus they were out of the St. Louis ribs and they were also out of the Orion on draft, and both the chicken Karaage and chicken teriyaki bowl sucked and were nothing like they were when they first opened - low quality, very plain, and very dry. They were 4-5 stars in my book when they opened like 10+ years ago but now I'm barely giving them two stars. And for ramen the best place by far is Slurpin in Costa Mesa. So there you have it fwiw.

3.75-See the Ramen Tonkotsu Soup Review. Went here for special night for Easter Dinner John 3:16! Service all were attentive 4.85 for that! It gets pretty packed. Should reserve ahead of time. Area outside wasn't too alluring. By Chuck E. Cheese and Home Depot/ By a Good Will and other stores are closing. I think that the benches outside indicate it gets packed. For safety, One thing is that at night, very dark outside, but that's not their doing. But I bet during a regular day, This is a busy place, so tells us that it's a mom and pop restaurant that's a hidden gem. I'd come back to try the Lobster Ramen. Also got a Green Tea Mochi when we checked in with Yelp!

Great ambiance and service, but I gotta shout out the spice. They don't mess around when it comes to spice and the ramen was deliciously spicy;

Great place to eat, delicious taste and nice environment. The price is decent with a big portion.

The service was great but the more concerning thing about this was the food. To start off the rice was very mushy and somehow tasted like water, it didn't taste regular but like it was leftover. The rest of the food I got like the chicken, it was hard and soggy. It had very little flavor and at that point I didn't want to eat anything. The salad was interesting.... I suggest getting real chefs and people that can cook overall the service was nice. I in fact did not eat my food because it was just disgusting. Get better chefs.

Horrible service. We ordered hot sake. The waitress came back saying they were out of hot sake. We ordered a big bowl of ramen, and asked for extra bowls since we wanted to share. We were given the paper bowls, the kind you get for take out orders. When we asked for normal bowls, we were told they didn't have any. Huh? One of our dishes was a lobster miso. We asked if it was spicy, and the waitress (she was new, and seemed extremely untrained) said no. It turned out to be incredibly spicy. And this $28 miso was served to us with a small plastic spoon. In fact, all the utensils were plastic. We asked for regular utensils, and were told they didn't have any. People were using regular utensils at the table next to ours. When the bill arrived, we asked to take off the lobster miso because it was so spicy, it was inedible. We were told no, and informed that police would be called if we didn't pay for that item. They actually said they would do us a favor and remove hot sake from our bill. Yes, the hot sake they were out of. Needless to say, we are never coming back.
Ramen were as good as we remembered. Kids had tonkatsu miso and I had spicy tonkatsu miso--perfect for a chilly evening.

Had the spicy bowl with chicken instead of pork. The chicken was excellent and the flavor on the broth was insane. The spice had a good heat but not too much burn for this white boy to handle.

It was really good I had the TONKOTSU SPICY BLACK Ramen oh man it was good and spicy lol but flavorful. As had egg roll for appetizer and also got real Sushi called Crunchy roll that was really good to each roll was big. All was super good but sadly one crucial thing they didn't have was Ice for the drinks. Not even cold water just room temp water which sucked was little pricey. Besides the water everything was good I'll come again

Authentic? Not really. I've never been to a Ramen joint where they don't put an egg. And my son's ramen that did have an egg, was cold. Everything was subpar.
