Ramen Restaurants near Whittier, CA

“*First timer*

Delicious! A friend brought me here,since im still fairly new to the area. Its tiny not big, its cozy. It feels like your in a different place,which is cool. Our waiter was great,service was awesome too. We got there just before 5 o'clock. It was full,but we still go seated quickly. The ramen soup bowls are what we both had. It was super yummy! Also had potstickers, California roll..everything was good. We split the bill. Overall really good experience.“

“I recently visited WADAYA - Fullerton and had a fantastic dining experience. The restaurant had a modern, cozy, and welcoming atmosphere that made it a great place to enjoy Japanese cuisine. The staff were friendly, attentive, and provided excellent service throughout my visit.

The menu offered a unique selection of Japanese noodle dishes, especially their specialty mazemen, a flavorful brothless ramen-style dish. The noodles were fresh, chewy, and packed with rich flavors from the carefully prepared toppings and sauces. I enjoyed the creativity of the dishes and the attention to detail in every bowl.

The food was delicious, well prepared, and full of authentic Japanese flavors. I especially appreciated the balance of textures and the quality of the ingredients. The restaurant also offered other options such as ramen, rice bowls, and appetizers, making it easy for everyone to find something they enjoy.

The restaurant was clean, organized, and had a comfortable setting for a casual meal with friends or family. The service was efficient, and the staff made sure everything was prepared perfectly. I liked the unique dining experience and the care put into each dish.

I would definitely return to WADAYA - Fullerton to try more menu items and enjoy another bowl of mazemen. I have already recommended this restaurant to friends and family who enjoy Japanese noodles and flavorful, creative dishes. Overall, it is a great restaurant with excellent food, friendly service, and a memorable atmosphere. I look forward to visiting again soon.“

“My child and I moved into the area in late 2022. We've been coming here since the place opened. It's a very nice environment and feel with the music playing. The deals offered are as they say, a deal. I always get the tonkatsu ramen with the chicken karaage. The karaage is very tender and the ramen amazing. I've always had the best service here and food is spectacular. Make sure to always try the deep fried ice cream. I could live off that stuff if I could.“

“The food was bomb! The fish was so fresh! And they only use blue fin tuna! It melted in my mouth! I absolutely loved it! The spot is cute! The service was great! They are so attentive! I highly recommend coming with a big appetite because there is a lot on the menu that you have to get! The fatty tuna was sooo good! And i was also impressed by their ramen! It was rich and smooth!“

“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!“

“Their popcorn chicken ramen is delicious.
Silky pork broth, the heat from the chilli and the hot chicken is going to make you sweat. If you say spicy, it's going to be spicy!!!
Love this place. Especially on a rainy day (which here, aren't many 😐).“

“Didn't get the ramen but got the beef and spicy pork rice bowls. Both were absolutely on point, especially with a bit of their in-house Chili Paste. Good portion as well.

Skip the small chiasiu bowl tho, pretty mid.

Service was attentive and friendly!“

“Solid ramen, sushi and other dishes. Good portions as well. Service was efficient though a bit impersonal...but as long as my water is getting refilled before having to ask, etc. I can do without friendliness. I'm 99% positive my mom and I had been to the Montrose location a few years back and had a very positive experience as well. Definitely would go back to either location. We went on Saturday of Mother's Day weekend for a later lunch with a group of 6 and there was no wait.“

“Very well run and maitained. The Ramen choices are delicious with lots of options. Try the spicy chicken sandwich too!!“

“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.“

“Their Tan Tan Men Ramen are the best! I love how I have the opportunity to customize our ground meat choices (I.e. ground pork or ground chicken). Topped with nori, baby bok choy, bean sprouts, hard-boiled egg, and ground meat, the ramen have the perfect flavor. Their chicken karaage were the best too!“

“We have been to this wonderful place several times and every time we come it is great! It can get very busy because it is great and because it is small. They have used their space strategically to get as many tables as possible. The staff is always friendly, welcoming and helpful. Tonight our server was Tang (not sure of the correct spelling) and he was exceptional!! Fantastic energy, super friendly, helpful and knowledgeable! They have a separate vegan menu which is really awesome! Now the food…absolutely delicious and quite filling! We always leave with leftovers for the next day. Today we got (all vegan) Veggie Tempura Plate, Vegan Crispy Rice, Caterpillar roll, and CA Crunch roll. Our server also brought us the Salmon roll. All were SO good! We were also given a scoop of green tea ice cream which was also really tasty! This is a fabulous restaurant that we will continue to frequent and highly recommend!“

“Broth is great Staff is very helpful & Vibe is great 8.5“

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

“Ramen hits the spot. Thank you!!“

“Filling portions, accommodating staff, and most importantly delicious food. Izakaya style allows for small eats if needed (especially during happy hour, see posted). Their bento portions are more than fair and their staff will work with you no matter the circumstances. Major recommendation for casual dine-in and/or after work celebration.“

“Great rolls. Big selection.... fresh.“

“Sushi Mura has the best ramen in Buena Park. This was my first time here. I've been to most ramen places in Buena Park, and didn't realize Sushi Mura is a hidden gem Sushi and ramen place near me.

The staff was super friendly and knowledgeable. The menu had more options than I'll ever be able try. I had the special sake and appetiser deal for $30 and was not disappointed.

Sushi Mura has the best Spicy Tonkatsu in Buena Park, hands down. I'm a little picky and asked for not sprouts or mushrooms, and was not disappointed.“

“Really good birria crispy tacos👌“

“This is one of our go to Ramen places in San Diego, we love it! Our kids love it for the free ice cream at the end!“

“la comida mui rica el servicio excelente lo recomiendo 💯%👌👍“

“Visiting from Vegas. Was craving some ramen and this lucky gem came up! Ordered the blaze. One word! AHHHHMAZING! medium spice just right. Broth was rich in flavor and pork done just right!! New spot for ramen when I’m in town !!“

“My son’s and I favorite place for Ramen.“

“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!“

“I've been coming here since high school and the quality has stayed the same. Everything here is delicious. The staff is so super friendly and welcoming. If you're looking for a good, local hidden gem for Japanese curry ... look no further!“

“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!“

“Saw Kopan sushi & ramen in burbank and realized there was one in Alhambra so i came to try it and was not disappointed! The dining area is very neat and servers are very attentive. Chefs are really quick with sushi and food orders overall 5 well earned stars definitely recommend!“

“I can't recommend this Ramen spot enough. Everything is so fresh and delicious. The service is very friendly and fast. They can get busy at times and you'll experience a short wait if it's only 2 people, if you're going to have a larger party, I highly recommend making reservations as this is a small restaurant.“

“this place are amazing the og burritos was so delicioso service was great thanks to JC this guy are A_Plus good customer services“

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

“Amazing food!!! The chasu bowl is so good!!! The staff is so nice . You can taste the care of the workers in the food!! Parking isn’t decent. We always found parking pretty close but it’s in the same parking lot as Trader Joe’s“

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

“Stumbled upon this location looking for somewhere to eat and when I tell you the amazing smells drew us in like a siren call??? There was a barely noticeable wait and we spent it eagerly looking at the menu. Service extremely prompt and scrupulous. Place is a bit small and they fill the space, so be prepared for loud noises. Food came out pretty fast, especially for being slammed, and it was all very, very good! Tried the ramen, udon, and one of the 'baked' rolls. 100% would come back to try more of all of the above!“

“Mixed tempura was delicious (they gatekeep that tempura dipping sauce like nobody's business). Bento box was tasty (salmon was cooked perfectly). The salmon skin roll was well liked by the wife. Loved the fact that Mikomi had Pacifico Beer on tap!!!

Highly recommend this spot, especially for lunch.“

“This place is amazing! Great food and service is excellent. Thank you Mikomi“

“Cool place. We sat at a table that looked like it was framed in a sake bottle. Plenty of parking. The ramen broth was tasty. Had a lemonade and at half sweetness was perfectly sweet. Lots a food and drink choices. The desserts looked really good, but I was too full. Can't wait to come back and try something else.“

“Stopped by for a quick lunch after my pickleball game at La Habra. Got promptly seated and I appreciated the booth seating.

They have a good selection of Sushi, Udons, Grilled Dishes and Ramen. I opted to get a Sushi and Udon and it came out very well. The place has a good ambience for a quick lunch spot and service was on the mark !

I will definitely be back if I am in the area and want a quick bite. I missed out on taking some pictures as I was running out of phone battery :)“

“great menu and friendly staff“

“Very small Ramen restaurant. The Daikokuya Ramen with fried rice is delicious. Edemame was lightly salted and really. I noticed a lot of to go orders, so it is a local favorite.“

“This is a no-frills simple traditionally Ramen. The interior is clean. The atmosphere is very minimalistic. The surf surf great, including just the flavored water that’s given. Not a fan of the fusion items. However the Ramen is solid. Grape flavor, not too oily. Would highly recommend for those who’ve been to Japan and want to have traditional Ramen. Is a smaller location, it cannot accommodate more than 40 people. They do have to go options. They also have vegetarian and vegan options as well.“

“Amazing food the server tonight was great he was very busy but he took great care of the whole room and was very nice. We wish we lived closer we would be here all the time. The pork and Chicken katsu are delicious as well as the ramen. Great prices too!!“

“This is a very cozy spot to grab a good meal. It’s not fancy or over the top, but that’s honestly part of its charm. It feels like a small local Japanese place where the focus is simply on serving good, comforting food.

The staff were very kind as well. It happened to be raining when we arrived, and they were nice enough to let us come in a little earlier than opening, which we really appreciated.

I ordered the pork cutlet with curry and the portion was very generous — definitely satisfying and full of flavor. The only small hiccup was that my Diet Coke was forgotten at first, so I had to ask again, but they brought it out shortly after.

Overall, it was a really pleasant experience. If you’re looking for a casual place with tasty food and a relaxed atmosphere, this spot is definitely worth checking out. The price per person is also very reasonable for the portion sizes you get.“

“This is a little place but the food is full of flavor and made to order. Im not a sushi person but i did try 2 rolls of sushi and they were super delicious. The service was on point, fast and professional. I've been coming to the restaurant for a couple of years. This establishment has superseded my expectations!
It was clean smelled delicious and the service was superb. Last the food was filling yet light on my stomach. Thank you for a great meal and experience.“

“THEY GOT SUSHI ROLLS! They hid them from me :( (not really)
Hands down one of the best ramen franchise, this location is one of less packed ones if you don't want to eat in a packed house. They had rolls on the menu the whole time but I never looked in the back. Great ramen too. My go-to is Shoyu on fire medium with extra spice ball, and gyoza combo.“

“Really the best in town! I love that the food is yummy a fair price and that the place feels homey and welcoming. I can come as I am and still feel comfortable. This mom & pop shop is so sweet. You have to try the Hawaiian roll if you love tuna !“

“Delicious food! Great friendly service“

“Great food and great service ! The new owner has made a lot of upgrades , modern tv menus, a fresh new look, and exciting new menu items . You can really tell there’s been a lot of investment put into this place . It’s no longer California roll and teryaki , Highly recommend if craving some sushi and teriyaki!“

“The sushi is very delicious, and since it only contains a little rice, we can eat a lot of sushi. The staff also spent very much time making it themselves, and above all, the owner also brings service sushi to each blanket.
It's a place I want to visit again next time.“

“My daughter and I went to Kopan for the 1st time. Let me tell you, what a wonderful experience we had. The food was excellent , we had a variety of dishes including sashimi. Our waitress was great, she was funny and recommended a the Plum Sake.
Highly recommended, I’ll be back again and again.“

“My friend I really enjoyed the friendly service and the food here. This company had their recipes down! Whichever location we try, our ramen, bowls and sushi is always delicious.

Clean restaurant, table touching, courteous and friendly service…good job guys!“
