Noodles near Tustin, CA

“Service is wonderful. Everyone is friendly. It’s like going to my Obason’s to have dinner. Everything about this place is authentically Okinawan. Oishī“

“Really nice place with some yummy food! Especially the avocado volcano!!“

“Whenever I get a craving for Thai this is my go to spot. The food is authentic delicious and Just plain beautiful. The prices are reasonable the portions are large. The atmosphere can be busy, but comforting and relaxing, like a coffeehouse. The hustle and bustle of people coming in doesn’t distract from the atmosphere. In fact, it adds to it. I have always judged a Thai restaurant by their Tom kha kai. The first time I had it here I knew I was in for some good Thai. I’ve been making Tom kha gai at home for years now I know how it’s done and the subtleties of the ingredients. I highly recommend this restaurant.“

“the best sushi🍣 and service we been going there for years 😃“

“great place for fresh made soba and udon. excellent tempura.. Very attentive staff.. highly recommend for those who are noodle enthusiasts“

“I got spicy ramen (the last one in the list) and it was pretty good. The portions are adequate, I didn’t feel like I was gonna explode, but I felt comfortably full. They have a lot of vegetarian options. The prices are on the higher side though, probably due to its location. Otherwise it’s pretty good.

Vegetarian options: Almost all of their ramen have a vegetarian equivalent, and all the broth is vegetarian.

Parking: There are a lot of parking on either side of the mall.

Wheelchair accessibility: The restaurant is on the first floor and there are no steps. Access would be easy for someone on a wheelchair.“

“This is my 2nd time visiting Meiji. The food was so good and I totally forgot to take some pictures and write the review on my 1st visit. Today I took some pictures and wrote this review. This place has best udon in town. I ordered 4 most popular dishes, beef Shabu Shabu Udon, Shrimp Tempura Udon, Fried Squid Legs, and Fried Chicken. They are all very tasty. Their udon noodles are handmade and the soup broth is so delicious. The restaurant has ambience of Japanese tastes of hometown. This restaurant is not very big but they do offer online waiting list. I would recommend joining their waiting list before you visit the restaurant. Definitely will come back again!“

“Really enjoyed the noodles and dumplings here. The right balance of noodle to meat to broth. All distinct flavorful. Not mushy at all.
The portions were good. Not too little, not too much that food was wasted.
We got medium spice for everything and it was fine. I saw a woman next to me sweating while eating— it made me very curious about the jump to “extra” spicy.
It’s also for expert level chopstick-age. Between the red sauces, the oil, the slipperiness of the dumplings, and the noodles, the danger of spraying everywhere, or worse yet, dropping something back into the sauce is very real. I’m pretty good but my shirt looked like a scene from Dexter. Luckily it was dark grey, but still.
You’ve. Been. Warned.
Would recommend strongly.“

“Hidden Gems in Santa Ana!! Their noodles was super flavorful and very, very tender. And was surprised me wa their skewers, it’s not like any other skewers at the other places. The taste was very refreshing, but also flavorful. The whole restaurant was very clean and the staff was very very nice. Overall a great experience. Come to try if you are near the area.“

“Good food and interesting service!...

Roaming around Irvine searching for somewhere to eat with something soupy and warm, my girlfriend and I came across this place. We joined the Yelp waitlist and once it was our turn to be seated we went inside.

Once inside, we waited in another line to get to the check-in kiosk which was a little inconvenient since it cause a crowd of people to awkwardly wait inside by the front door. I feel it would have made more sense to place it outside of the restaurant. The host, or at least the person at the register for the to-go orders, was stressed and it was very obvious. She was visibly in a hurry and talked extremely fast and seemed to be running out of breath. The one server (at the time) was also walking around stressed and at times was visibly upset with that person. The restaurant wasn't full, but the seating on both sides were taken. The long table that runs in the center was completely empty. Well, empty until we came. We got seated at the long table.

Any who, the food is what you want to know about! I ordered the Spicy Beef Noodle Soup/Rice Noodle Soup and the Beef Roll Pancake. It didn't take long to get the food, maybe 10 minutes at most.

How was it?

- Spicy Beef Noodle Soup/Rice Noodle Soup: Chunks of beef shank, kale, pickled veggie, cilantro, and green onions. Between standard round and knife cut noodles, I went with the knife cut noodles well... because my girlfriend chose it haha. It was a good choice though, they were wide noodles and hit the spot. The meat was good, decent sized chunks and very tender. The soup was tasty and had a good kick to it.

- Beef Roll Pancake: Beef, green onions, cilantro, and hoisin sauce. These things were huge. Plenty of greens in each of them. I've had beef roll pancakes at other places and wasn't a fan of how sweet they were. The ones here though, are just the way I like it. Not overloaded with sauce and not heavily sweet. These were good.

Plenty of parking everywhere in the lot, though I can see it getting more full later in the night. We came around 6PM and didn't have a problem finding a spot.

Service was OK. Even with the limited interaction that I had with the stressed out workers, it got me feeling stressed as well!

I'd come back for the food :).“

“Great food, helpful staff, and a pleasant interior make this one of my favorite places in the city. I came here to celebrate my birthday today, brought friends from Garden Grove who were visiting, and went on a date that ended up being the last one. I was highly suggested it, and now I am telling people about it!“

“The best pork chop I have ever had! Great atmosphere and kind staffs too I will definitely visit again 👍🏼“

“Best in Orange, Tustin area by far.
Impeccable and professional service.
Went on an early Friday night, were first to seat, within the next 30m it filled up, plus, lots of take-outs.
We had luscious Hot & Sour soup tangy to perfection, 3 types of dumplings bursting with flavors, pancakes and a refreshing cucumber salad. Hot tea in a glass with refills.
4 1/2 stars and a definet come back to try other dishes.

Wheelchair accessibility: easy access, plenty of room for seat accommodation“

“My friend brought me to this restaurant, and I didn't know what to order because the menu was a delightful surprise, filled with a rich and diverse selection of dishes. The staff highly recommended the lomo saltado-it was an explosion of flavors❤️?“

“Great food. I'll definitely be back!“

“I really like the service that I got there they really care about their customers and I do really appreciate that a hole lot . Thank you for awesome service and great food .“

“Good place for lunch and dinner“

“Cash only, light lines during dinner rush moves but moves very fast for groups of four and less anything more and it takes a little bit longer. All of this doesn't seem all that appealing but this place is MICHELIN RATED it's had Zagat awards almost every year since 1995, their broth is amazing everyone I've introduced this place to keeps coming back.

Parking: Strip mall adjacent, the liquor store will tow so talk to them first.“

“The best vegan pho I’ve ever had.“

“Great noodle house. Many locations. Authentic food“

“Awesome“

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

“James is so courteous and went out of his way to provide excellent service to my boyfriend and I on our date night. The dining area is clean and comfortable. Most notably, the broth is prepared for over 10 hours, which makes the pho exceptionally flavorful. This is our new favorite neighborhood spot!“

“Excellent customer service!

Maya helped me select the food for my vegan diet because their vegetarian options came with egg. I got kale & fruit salad with black rice and mango chrysanthemum tea. The food tasted really good but a few portions of their kale was not fresh enough.

I will try their drinks and dessert when I come again.

Vegetarian options: There are vegetarian options but not vegan. I wish they would make their vegetarian options into vegan with tofu or tempe, and have option to add egg or other things.“

“Nice addition to the mall! ?

Pricing and menu options were exactly the same which is great. The food tasted similar, but the portion was quite small compared to what I remembered. Our order came out quickly, though.

* Tái Chín Gân: 8/10 - good but more broth than noodles

Located in the depths of Bloomingdale’s, they offer a nice dining area with other restaurants to choose from. This location has a unique counter seating area that would be perfect for solo diners. The workers were very efficient, but not super friendly. The place is very convenient for when you’ve been shopping all day and craving some pho.

One of the only restaurants at South Coast Plaza where you don’t have to wait for a table!

Parking: Located in South Coast Plaza“

“Food itself was excellent with their tasty broth and tender meats. The udon noodles were amazing all around. The soup dumplings are a must try also with the pork inside being so savory. The service itself was very quick and using a self ordering kiosk is very easy and honestly convenient. Atmosphere wise the whole place is small so it creates a cozy vibe while you chow down on some awesome food. 10/10 will be coming back after our next disneyland trip.“

“WE come to Koco at least 1 time every 2 weeks! Fresh Sushi & delicious rolls! Tell the owners, Sean & Beth sent you!!! 🫂✌️🙏

*So happy to have this luvly spot in our French Park neighborhood! Great food, fresh & awesome service! ❤️🙏🍀💥👌PLS SUPPORT! 🙏🤘👍“

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

“Amazing experience eating here, right as me and my bf walked through the door we were greeted by the whole staff with cheerful smiles, they had great music and comfy seats, the atmosphere is cozy and inviting beside it being so crowded in there but the food is absolutely delicious! Me and my bf had the spicy miso ramen and a California roll and it was amazing, so much flavors and food is fresh, We've gone to other ramen places and we always come back to this one. 10/10 ✨“

“Best pho we've ever eaten, and I grew up in Little Saigon! Everything is fresh and delicious. We make it here on a weekly basis. It's that good. We recently tried the fried rice, and it was amazing. Egg rolls to die for.

Great family owned spot with amazing customer service (not often seen at pho spots).

I'm drooling just writing this. 🤣“

“Food was so delicious recommended for who hasn’t tried it , and great service as well my first time. I would come back, but I’m too far. I’m from San Antonio Texas. Thumbs up 👍 👍“

“I came early around 5:15pm for a weekend dinner. There is more parking than i expected behind the building. The waiters were attentive in refilling my water and checked in to see if i was doing ok. Otherwise, the food (vegan mazemen) was filling and they provide some rice to top off with the sauce. I would definitely come here again.“

“Best pho I ever had! Clean place. At 1230am, this restaurant was still packed.“

“Excellent Food! Nice staff.“

“I loved the atmosphere as soon as I entered LePho. It smelled fantastic and they were playing a playlist of songs by Cigarettes After Sex ?, my fave. The employees were very friendly and the rib eye pho I ordered was so delicious. Though it seemed rather expensive for a bowl of pho, the beef is grass fed and the broth flavor stood out compared to other pho restaurants. I will also point out that it seemed a bit greasier than it needed to be, but other than those two things, I really enjoyed my lunch there today! ?❤️“

“Overall amazing experience. I love how u can see them making all the noodles from scratch (which were delicious!) The service was exceptional. The server went above my expectations and was super kind and welcoming. We ordered miso noodle soup and scallion pancakes. Everything tasted absolutely perfect from beginning to end. We will returning very soon!“

“Fish was relatively fresh and big portions, of good quality. Some of the pieces were blowtorched, which is a nice touch. The quality of the rice in the sushi is also good (and very important but no one ever talks about it). Friendly service and spacious venue. I was gonna say it was a bit pricey, but to be fair everything is pricey nowadays so it's probably avg priced. Just budget accordingly.“

“Super Dumpling serves halal food. We ordered Orange Chicken, Fried rice and noodles. Orange Chicken and Noodles had a great taste. Fried rice had no taste. Quite expensive and quantity is very small compared to all other halal Chinese restaurants.“

“Amazing customer service and the food a solid 10/10 ??✨ Owners are really lovely and friendly ? I went with my brother and we had a great experience and my brother it was his first time trying it. And he said he loved it and will be coming back with his friends ?“

“I often pass by this small shop and have thought countless times about trying the spicy beef noodles. Unfortunately, I always had to wait in line. Today at 1:30 PM, I found an available seat, so I happily sat down and ordered the spicy beef noodles I had been looking forward to, choosing the thick noodles. The first bite took me straight back to Yongkang Street in Taipei—absolutely wonderful!

Kid-friendliness: Yes

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes“

“Service was top notch -extremely nice and informative on menu. Food was ridiculous good I recommend the grapefruit salad with chicken“

“Wow, the taste was amazing - both the pho and the cucumber lemonade. The pho was richly and deeply flavored and was satisfying while still being bright and fresh feeling. The service was very prompt, friendly and helpful - the server understood my not liking overly sweet drinks and recommended the cucumber lemonade as refreshing while still having sweetness. It was, indeed, refreshing and sweet - perfectly balanced flavors. The server also wisely suggested we package the noodles and broth of our leftovers seperately. I almost never eat out, but I would if I lived near Soup Shop.“

“The best Thai cuisine in town, Chef is from Thailand, authentic taste as well. Walked in with my husband in mid-Dec, we both are Green / Red chicken curry lovers, price is right, enjoyable food, strongly recommend. Then, got lunch special take out today, it was fast prepared. Brought it home, food temperature and taste remained Hot/Delicious as we expected. Definitely would visit or take out again.“

“This place is added to my go to ramen restaurants. I ordered spicy miso, and it was a bit salty for me but still very delicious! I forgot what my family ordered, but I think 1 of them ordered the Tonkotsu, though I still think spicy miso was the best option. The line and waiting are not that bad. The only problem is if you go as a group of 4+ people during busy hours like dinner time, it might be a bit difficult to find a parking and seating spot. The staff is really nice and friendly.
Overall, would recommend trying this place if you like ramen!“

“We found this place on a whim, and it did not disappoint. The food was amazing and the best part is the price is fair. My mom and I got two pho soups, two sandwiches, two appetizers that came out to $54. Other pho shops would have charged us $65 for all, and they gave us free refills on thai tea (free thai tea in general) Fyi the lady was NOT playing when she said the bowl ia huge. It really was.
I live in Rialto and coming here which is an hour away should say something.“

“This restaurant is so clean and the service is great! We came here tonight (Thursday night). Thought we were yhe only people dining in the restaurant, they had so much foot traffic for pick up orders.
Let me tell you, the food was DELICIOUS. The flavors were bold, on point, and authentic. I thoroughly enjoyed my meal,and so did my family. We even ordered 2 more dinner dishes for take out after our meal since we liked it so much.
Best part of all is that this restaurant is EXTREMELY affordable. If they keep their prices right where it's at, we will definitely be regulars here!!!
Definitely come here if you are looking for delicious Thai food.

Kid-friendliness: Good place for the kids“

“This is the second time we're here at Loi's Kitchen. I love their food. I didn't leave a review last time because we were busy. We ordered Cantho style fermented fish vermicelli, House special noodle and Chicken wings. They all are delicious ?. On top of that, their customer service is wonderful. They are very attentive. I will definitely come back. You should give it a try. I barely leave a review but I have to this time. Amazing place!“

“Freshly made udon at a good price! I just wish the noodles were more Al dente. The one I had was too soft. The fish miso soup, however, was great. The bk sauce could be a bit less sweet but I get that it is that way since it’s Hawaiian. Good choice of tempura items. Gonna try the curry and other items another time.“

“On Sunday evening, after my son finished his Taekwondo tournament in Tustin, I searched for nearby Ramen restaurants and drove my family to Yoshiharu Ramen.

To my surprise, only one server was attending to 80% of the customers. Since my kids were hungry, we decided not to spend time going to another restaurant. Therefore, we ordered the following items:

• Tonkatsu Black ($18.00)
• Tonkatsu Spicy Black ($18.50)
• Rib Eye Beef Bento ($20.00)

After waiting for 20 minutes, two bowls of Ramen arrived. I almost finished my meal when my wife and daughter realized the Bento had not arrived yet. I asked the server about it, and she apologized, explaining that it was taking longer than expected.

Advice to the Owner: To ensure better business, please consider hiring more servers and not cutting back on labor costs. Customers don’t like waiting.

If the waiting time improves, we will definitely return.

Parking: Many free parking lots“

“Food is really good :) is well located and prices are reasonable for the area“
