Ramen Restaurants near Tustin, CA

“Amazing, super delicious Ramen - reinvented in the U.S. so the soup is totally drinkable. If you've ever eaten Ramen in Japan, you know what I'm talking about. The dining area in-store is modern and clean, but sometimes the long waiting line can be a turn-off, at least to me.“

“After my son’s soccer practice in Tustin, we stopped by Ramen Mura—just a quick 7-minute drive.

They offer a great deal: ramen with an add-on. We ordered three ramen bowls and three sushi add-ons. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and satisfying. The service was friendly, and the atmosphere was relaxed and family-friendly.

My whole family enjoyed the meal, and we’ll definitely be back. Great spot for a casual dinner with good value.“

“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“

“It was our first time tasting a ramen bowl and it was the best. Must try potstickers which melt in your mouth. Really loved our experience.❤️❤️

We don’t know how to properly use the chopsticks seeing our struggle a person handed us kid training chopsticks.😅“

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

“I came here on a cloudy Sunday and was immediately greeted and got a seat right away. I ordered the deluxe mazemen with the pork belly and it was delicious mixture of different savory textures and flavors. I definitely liked it more after adding a bit of the white vinegar to cut through some of the richness. I also had the yuzu sour, which if you know me, I love the yuzu like waking up and having no work that day. The yuzu sour was refreshing, not too sweet, and tasted like one of the bottled yuzu sodas out there. If I'm in the area after hitting some golf balls I'll come back.“

“Apparently during mondays they have jiro ramen/miso ramen only, and during wed-sun they have chicken ramen and tsukemen only. I didn't know of this until i asked the waiter for clarification. Nevertheless, the jiro ramen is genuinely authentic, and i loved how the vegetables complimented the fatty and rich broth with the thick noodles. I would definitely come here again if i can.“

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

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

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

“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.“

“Really Cool Spot. Susi is all I I have ever ordered and it is fabulous. You can pick it up to go or dine in. The People that work there are polite and efficient. (Customer service A+)
They stay open pretty late. It's perfect for that late night snack not to heavy. They advertise a low cost happy hour that had Top Shelf beers and food. Check it out.“

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

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

“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!!“

“Omg! The black Ramen is the best. Soo tasty I can eat it everyday. This is a comfort food for me but doesn’t feel heavy or greasy. I feel like I made a good choice after eating here. Very good sushi too. Fish is so creamy. My go to place for ramen and sushi.“

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

“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).“

“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.“

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

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

“😋😋 good eating experience“

“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! 😍“

“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“

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

“Dry noodles is where it's at. The shrimp broth is too seafood-y for me. The chicken broth on the other hand was really good. Super rich. Almost tonkatsu-like. But still, stick with the dry noodles and add a bunch of the chili oil. The cod + dry noodles was excellent.“

“This was a wonderful dining experience! Me and my friend already loved to order takeout from here, but it got even better when we dined in. There is a regular menu and a fully vegan menu, and the vegan options are delicious! Their vegan ramen broth is smooth and savory with many flavors to enjoy. We got the best ice cream I've ever had, which was cold, silky and delicious. The atmosphere is cozy with warm lighting and comfortable booths. One of the best parts was the service. Our waiter, Thang, was friendly and quick with great service. Over all, I would love to come back soon!“

“This place is amazingly delicious. My absolute favorite are their Eel buns, and if Im a little extra hungry their spicy tuna on crispy rice is also amazing. I tried their ramen (seen in the pics) and jt was also great. Their service is wonderful-they just need a bigger space!“

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

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

“I had the cold soba, and it was quite good. If you’re looking for Japanese-style udon in the area, I would recommend this place. However, it’s not somewhere you can eat comfortably at a relaxed pace. I understand that there are many people waiting, but clearing our bowls while we were still preparing to pay didn’t feel appropriate. I would recommend this restaurant only if you want to come in, eat, and leave quickly—it’s not a place for a leisurely meal.“

“Delightful, delicious, and surprising. They provide table service if you’re eating in, and then they cook it up fresh. The cook even helped me order since I was unfamiliar with a lot of the choices. One of the best meals I’ve had in a long time. Well done!“

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

“The servers are very friendly & kind. We enjoyed the food.“

“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.“

“Siempre va a ser mi restaurante favorito. No he comido sushi como este en ningún otro lugar. He venido desde hace dos años en distintos tiempos y siempre que regreso es igual de bueno. El servicio es bueno, el sushi es fresco. Solo me gustaría que regresaran las botellas de salsa de soya porque estaban muy lindas. De ahí en fuera todo 10/10“

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

“Found this place randomly searching for a local Japanese style restaurant and found this Gem. Tried their Chicken Curry plate as it seemed to be there go to with their BOGO promotion. The curry had a phenomenal and savory taste. I'd recommend Level 3 Spice level as it is a great blend of flavor and spice. If you're interested in having great Japanese Curry this is the spot. I also tried their potato croquette which was exquisite I ate it immediately and took a photo part way 🤣 into eating. I also have their Strawberry Matcha Latte which was a great blend and tasted perfect. Definitely coming back to try the Curry Omelet variety. This is a great spot to come with friends or if you just want to enjoy some great Japanese food solo.“

“quesabirria tacos go craaazy hard here! the consomé is *chef’s kiss* 🤌🏽 & the smoked pollo asado was surprisingly amazing! 10/10“

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

“Great environment! , golf customer service :)“

“I ordered takeout from this sushi restaurant and was really impressed. The sushi was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented—even for to-go. The staff were super friendly and helpful, making the whole ordering process easy and pleasant. My food arrived quickly and still felt fresh, which made the experience even better. Definitely a place I would return to and recommend to others.“

“Great ramen, spinach noodle options!“

“This place is a nice change from the ordinary. Very clean and the staff was very attentive. The food was very delicious. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼“

“My daughter and I adore this place. Their ramen is so delicious. We come from the IE just to eat at Silverlake“
