Gu Ramen Taps and Tapas in Laguna Beach

What a delicious and enjoyable lunch in Laguna Beach to celebrate my friend’s birthday!Savor the Gu Ramen, which is customizable to spicy level, choice of noodles and toppings. The combination of Tonkotsu broth with pork and chicken and Chashu was so satisfying and delicious!! The added spinach gave me the veggies it needed.My friend ordered the same thing except she had kale noodles, which is a great low carb option and added bean sprouts instead of spinach. She loved it!!My friend (his birthday) ordered the Ramen Tofu with this Shoyu Umami Broth and double Tofu. It was delightful and it’s his regular go-to.The spicy and regular edamame is the perfect appetizer! Very shareable!The service was friendly. She remembers her regulars. Love the ambiance!! The open window is great!! It’s near the beach!Just be prepared for the summer crowds in Laguna. Parking isn’t the easiest. You’ll probably have to circle around a bit. And, the traffic going into Laguna Beach can be frustrating so allow for extra time.

Wow! A friend took me here! Totally stoked that we went. A group of 4, sat immediately, super quick service. We ordered right away and got our food all prepared perfectly.These were the best Udon noodles I have ever had. Spicy Ground Pork & Fried Tofu. Also, go for the Gu Fries! They are like animal fries from in n out but totally unique.Go here if you want a chill vibe and a group of 4 or less.

Im a big fan of Asian food and it was my first time spending the day in Laguna Beach. It was a short walk from the beach, maybe 20 minutes and service was good and staff were friendly. We ordered 2 Ramen bowls with egg topping and made it a combo. I would say broth wasnt bad and portions were good. The egg isnt a soy sauce egg so if you are into that, then you may be disappointed. The rice bowl was good but you can say its an acquired taste if you arent into pickled veggies. Definitely recommend to someone if theyre looking for a good quick fix and cant decide on what to eat but if youre looking for a more premium Ramen taste, this isnt it. 4 stars from me but I would be open to going again.

Very good food and service. Atmosphere always nice with the old school music they are always playing. Wish that they add more to their drink options but overall is good.

This is the best place weve been to on the beach for a late night snack.The service is really nice and helpful. They have a TV playing older music videos, and its fun to see. There is a bar, and its just really social.I tried the kale noodles, didnt really care for it much. The ramen itself is good though, and flavorful.

Food: Ordered a bowl of Ramen medium spicy with sprouts, pork belly and corn. It was delicious. Perfect amount of noodles and the broth was tasty. I need to try their appetizers next time.Service: I was contacted immediately, seated, and my order was taken with accuracy. Got my food 10 minutes later and the server visited my table frequently to see if I needed anything.Final thought: Though there are plenty of ramen options these days, Gu Ramen is a solid choice! I will be back.

Damn good ramen with very flavorful soup. In fact, my wife like it so much we went there twice during our holiday at Laguna beach, something that we normally dont do as we prefer to try different stalls during holiday.Maybe due to the fact that Im an Asian that is used to spicy food from Singapore, dont really find the super spicy ramen that spicy 🤣. Nevertheless, the ramen taste real good and will not lose out to the ramen I have in Singapore. It feels especially good to drink the ramen broth in cold temperature during November as well. For sides, the calamari and cheese corn is also very good.

Excellent Ramen, mine was spicy pork with udon and it was delicious!

We started with GU style fries as appetizer. It is little sweet, savory, very taste. I ordered super spicy with chashu. Broth was amazing and portions was big. Gu has been my go to ramen in the area and I live in Dana Point. And one of us got super spicy, entire table was it was spicy but she didnt feel it at all. This place has the best spicy pork but get spicy or mild with it. The spicy pork makes it spicy. Amazing place coming back for sure

Fabulous tonkatsu!! Rustic, not fancy place but it’s so good I would come back here often if I could. Excellent service from Daniel.
