Ramen Restaurants near Tustin, CA

“Vegan ramen with vegan gyoza as an appetizer. Your welcome. But seriously this place is amazingly delicious. Manager is great, the level of service from this man is above and beyond, the server forgot a side of rice(for my daughter) and something else small like a side of broth I can’t remember now, but the order was for takeout and I didn’t check the food before I left because they’re always on point. When I got home I checked and then I called to have the items credited to me for next time but, the manager refunded the money to my credit card and he insisted the food be delivered to me. I gave him my address and he personally delivered to my house in Orange from Tustin. Hiro Nori is and will always be my go to spot.“

“Cute atmosphere, employees were very relaxed and able to talk with each other (which I love), but also checked up on my boyfriend and I frequently, refilling our waters & drinks and making sure everything was yummy! They gave us our bill as soon as we were done, no waiting, service was great, quick, and the waitresses are very attentive + sweet! The food was 10/10. I got the spicy tonkotsu ramen, it was bomb!! The soft boiled egg was perfectly cooked, broth not too salty, just perfect!! Noodles are delicious and flavorful! My bf got the spicy habanero ramen and it was also delicious!! We got the salmon roll and I got a dragon roll for my mom (which she loved). Everything 10/10, highly recommend for sushi + ramen.“

“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.“

“Good food and good service“

“First visit, fast friendly service, The wing platter I got w drinks and rice was really good. Rice was a little flavorless, but cooked properly. The wings were really moist and juicy w the sauce being flavorful. Will definitely be stopping in here more often on lunch.“

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

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

“I wish I would have discovered this place sooner but super delicious spicy miso ramen!! The plaza it’s in is a little hidden if you’re coming at night - I will definitely be returning - super friendly staff and clean welcoming space - they have a happy hour during the week delicious!!“

“Tried Ramen Nagi on 1/27/26 while shopping at South Coast Plaza. This was our first time for all in our party of 4. We all ordered the Original and it was great. Very tasty broth, and pork.

The format is that you order in advance off a paper sheet before you are seated. You select the item and then choose the noodle type, the spice level, the oil level, etc. Thereafter your party is seated, offered beverages and appetizers, etc. Pitchers of Ice water and condiments are provided on the tables. Service was friendly, fast, and attentive. Prices averaged about $18 per ramen bowl. Broth was very delicious. Give them a try.“

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

“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.“

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

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

“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.“

“Okay, okay…yes, first ramen experience! I know, I know…I’m not a long noodle guy and def not a slurper, so I’ve always kinda avoided it. Had the chicken broth here, and it was really good. This is for the peeps who have yet to try…do it. Tastes amazing and you won’t regret it. Still not sure how to cut down the large pieces of chicken in the broth with chopsticks, but that’ll be for my second visit.“

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

“Santouka Ramen is hands down one of the best ramen spots you’ll find inside Mitsuwa Marketplace. Their signature Shio Ramen with Toroniku pork cheek is simply outstanding—rich, creamy broth that’s perfectly balanced and never overwhelming, paired with chewy noodles cooked just right. The Toroniku pork is unbelievably tender and flavorful, melting in your mouth with every bite.

What I love most is that the ramen is not spicy, making it a comforting bowl that everyone in the family can enjoy. Portions are generous, and if you grab the combo with a rice bowl on the side, it feels like a complete, satisfying meal. The Takoyaki was also delicious—crispy on the outside, soft inside, and topped with the perfect sauce and bonito flakes, making it the perfect side dish to the ramen.

The consistency here is impressive—every visit tastes just as good as the last. If you’re at Mitsuwa and craving authentic Japanese ramen, Santouka is a must-try, five-star experience.“

“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!!“

“I tried the Spicy Black Ramen and really enjoyed it. The noodles were on the thinner side but still nicely cooked, and the chashu was cooked perfectly with a great crispy texture. Overall, the ramen was very flavorful and satisfying.

One big plus is that for an extra $7.95, you can add a California roll, which was also surprisingly good and paired well with the ramen.

Definitely a place I would recommend.“

“Late late lunch on a really hot October afternoon.
These days, it's quite a challenge to find restaurants open mid to late afternoon (Most Japanese cuisine places frequently close to reset for dinner service).
Very simple non-fancy indoors, metal chairs and standard four-top tables, we needed a high chair which they provided.
Ordering is by QR code, and we used my phone to do that.
we asked our waiter to please separate the add-ons for Mentai Ebi Rice Bowl - a shrimp tempura with rice dish plus poached egg (for the toddler).
Brothless Ramen is quite an interesting concept - it's not a completely dry type of noodle dish, but rather served with a very rich sauce.
I got the mentaiko Cream mazesoba (Brothless ramen with chewy mochi noodle, mentaiko (Pollock fish fish roe), tobiko (Flying fish roe), spring mix (salad greens), seaweed (Nori), and green onion in a creamy sauce base).
This dish is only very mildly spicy.
I added a poached egg to my bowl. It was quite satisfying to break it and stir it into the noodles for even more creaminess!
My companion got the Spicy Deluxe Nagoya Mazesoba :
Brothless ramen with chashu (Roast pork - very tender), nori, and ajitama (Soft-boiled egg marinated in soy). Plus, spicy minced pork (it was piled high!), green onions, chives, fish powder, seaweed, garlic, and a poached egg. Free scoop of rice is for soaking up the saucy mazesoba (the menu states dine in only, but our waiter gave it to us to take home with our leftovers).
The cold tofu appetizer was so refreshing and a great starter.
Mentai takoyaki was delicious.
Also had plain edamame and French fries _ because there is no true kid's menu.
Very busy location - a lot of pedestrians and car traffic (this plaza has numerous food spots and a 99 Ranch market).“

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

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

“Tucked into a quiet plaza near a karaoke bar, this ramen spot is easy to miss but a lifesaver on cold nights. The tonkotsu broth was thick and creamy, with a deep pork flavor that lingered perfectly. I got the spicy level 2—it was hot but not overwhelming. Gyoza were crisp on the outside, juicy inside. The vibe is calm and welcoming, perfect for solo diners“

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

“😋😋 good eating experience“

“Delicious ramen. We tried the black garlic one and our daughter tried the shio with added egg. Small size is perfect for a child or if not too hungry. Husband and I shared a large and it was plenty for both. Inside Mitzuwa. After eating your meal you can get dessert inside the store. Very convenient.“

“Super great experience!! Love it here:)“

“First time coming to this restaurant with my Japanese friends. It’s a small Japanese communities where we can get together eating and chatting! The staffs are very friendly and the head chef/owner is a very passionate person! And he was very accommodate-able person! Love it! 😍“

“This restaurant offers rich shrimp broth noodles with fresh ingredients and great service. The staff is friendly and helpful, making the dining experience even better. The Signature Trio Shrimp Noodle is a must-try, and the spicy option adds a nice kick. Perfect for seafood and noodle lovers!“

“Great spot for sushi! Been going here for years! BEST SUSHI IN FULLERTON, MAYBE OC. The same local staff are there every time, and the dishes come out quickly and well prepared. Everything on their menu tastes amazing. We've tried maybe every dish so far. Definitely a craving place.“

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

“This was my first time eating at Hironori for the first time and was surprised by the entire experience. Food came out on time, tasted amazing and the service was very attentive. The manager, Kris was kind enough to give us a rundown of the popular items and help out make our choice for our lunch. Will be coming back to this location.“

“Found this little joint a few years back And have been going back every since“

“Wow everything we tried was top notch and service was amazing. Sesame tofu was a pleasant surprise that had everyone wanting more. Shabu shabu udon was seasoned to perfection and it even came with ponzu for the meat! Nabeyaki udon was spot on as well. You can tell they take care to make the dashi very well. Tempura chicken curry udon broth was also not too thick and not too salty, which was very pleasant too. Of course the chicken kaarage was super well seasoned and not heavily battered. Perfection. I’d love to come back to try more. Very few places do udon so well.“

“I had a great experience at this ramen place! The broth was rich, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned, and the noodles had just the right texture. The toppings were fresh, and each bite felt comforting and satisfying. The staff was friendly and attentive, making sure we had everything we needed. The restaurant itself was clean and cozy, creating the perfect atmosphere to enjoy a warm bowl of ramen. I’ll definitely be coming back and recommending it to friends.“

“Absolutely loved it here. The food was amazing. ❤️“

“i am at aloha bbq great place to eat!!! :)“

“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.“

“Tasty ramen and fried rice. Takoyaki was so good we almost thought it was freshly made. Stir fry vegetables good too. Run by Japanese operators. Service and food was prompt on a busy weekday lunch hours. Oh, and I love their beautiful Japanese ceramic plates.“

“The owner is very sweet, attentive and so polite she is fast and always ready for you when you order with a smile and the food is awesome and she makes my experience better. Since my first experience she has been amazing I come back even by myself and she is the best I definitely recommend this place to for dinner with the fam. Or friends!“

“Hidden Gem Near South Coast Plaza
I love this small sushi and ramen spot! Our main courses were generous and satisfying, leaving us full and happy. We ordered:

Fresh edamame $3.95 was a nice start. I liked that it had a naturally sweet taste. The BSCR Roll $13.95 and Baked Lobster Roll $15.95 were rich and delicious. The Sashimi Salad $12.95 was refreshing, and the Assorted Sashimi (12 pieces) $26.95 was fresh and well worth it.
The Philly Tempura Roll $13.95 had great texture, and I really liked the Tonkotsu Ramen $13.95 which was warm and satisfying

Overall, everything tasted great, and the prices were very reasonable for the quality. The service was also a standout, exceptionally prompt, friendly, and welcoming. Plus, there’s plenty of parking around.

It’s a true hidden gem that delivers both quality and value!“
