Im always a little bit reluctant when I see a high star rating but a low number of reviews. Hanami is worth a visit.Ramen is one of my favorite comfort foods. Maybe its because I travel so much for work. But lets face it, who doesnt like sitting down to a nice steamy bowl of ramen.I tried the tonkotsu ramen, which is apparently one of their most popular. Rich broth with a catchy peppery, garlicky flavor. Very nice at first taste. Hanami offers different noodle types along with different protein choices for each broth. I had the curly noodles (thick and chewy and almost perfect) and chashu pork. While the pork wasnt melt in your mouth tender (which Ive rarely found), it was tasty and among the most tender Ive discovered.A nice surprise was the whole egg I found buried in the noodles. Perfectly done and with just a hint of sweetness with each bite.For me, at least, the pepper/garlic got to be too much near the end and I didnt finish the broth. Perhaps just a little overpowering, but that first spoonful...I dont get to Corona often, but when I do, you know where to find me. Ill definitely be back. No beer or wine on the menu, but maybe in the future?

We tried a bit of everything! My favorites were the vegetarian and miso broths. My favorite appetizer was the tofu fries. The Chashu pork is also delicious and the chicken is chicken breast. Everything was good so you can’t go wrong. The texture of the noodles was very good and the eggs are soft boiled deliciousness.

A chefs kiss 🤌🏽 The Spicey Tonkotsu was very flavorful! I ordered it with chicken and extra deep fried onions. The Miso Ramen was also on another level. The broth was soo deliecious and to top it off with a soft boiled egg that such adds the perfect sweetness. Not to mention, Alex, our server, had excellent customer service and was readily available! Pleasing is with a complimentary chocolate ice cream, which by the way is worth the buy! Definitely would recommend for a dinner night out 🫶

A delicious experience from the appetizers to the desserts. The tofu fries were incredible, a must try! Plenty of ramen options for all preferences - whether you’re a ramen expert or have never tried this cuisine. We ended our meal with some green tea, strawberry and mango ice cream mochi, a refreshing sweet treat after enjoying the depths of flavor in the ramen.The staff is courteous and provided a wonderful dine in experience. The ambiance is also very welcoming, 5/5 stars, would absolutely be coming back :)

I had the chicken karaage bowl, and it was decently fulfilling. The ramen was also really good, although just a tad bit small, but it was still good!

Amazing ramen - one of the best and most flavorful broths Ive ever had! Perfect consistency with the noodles and the boiled eggs... 🤤 Not to mention the great and friendly service. The only thing missing is Naruto 🍥 (fish cakes) as a topping - but overall, Hanami Ramen was fantastic! ✌🏻☺️🍜

The ramen is rich, flavorful and delicious and I tried their Fried Takoyaki and it was sweet, savory, crispy, gooey all at once, very addictive. Great ramen spot definitely recommend.

Tonkatsu ramen was great. The tofu fries are a must try if youve never had them. Very pleasant server although they might be a little understaffed if it were to get busy. Restaurant was very clean!

The detail to attention was impressive! Our server brought everything the kids needed before we even asked. That was just awesome not having to constantly ask for things.Then there is the ramen. Portions are big and flavor was great. The eggs were boiled to perfection with soft insides.I highly recommend this place if you are looking for japanese ramen.

I have found a new local favorite ramen place! In my opinion, it is the best ramen place in the Corona/Norco area! The service was amazing! The atmosphere is calming, nice, and clean. The food was amazing, too. We had the pan fried Gyoza, and I kid you not it was probably the best Ive ever had. Then, I followed it with a spicy Miso and spicy Tonkotsu with pork. Its some of the best ramen Ive had. Capped it off with 2 scoops of green tea ice cream. Loved that they sprinkled oreo crumbles on it. If youre looking for a nice locally owned place to get ramen or Boba, check this place out. Theyve only been open for a couple of weeks. Im looking forward to seeing this ramen place do well. They even have these cool sodas based on various anime shows. I thought that was pretty cool.

Delicious. If you are ever in the mood for real ramen, this is the place to go. Comparing the ramen here to the dried cardboard that you buy at the supermarket is like upgrading from a rusted tricycle to a purring V12 powered Italian sports car. Customize your ramen in hundreds of ways to your liking, … but the broth, the engine of the ramen, is just plain old delicious.

I’m a ramen snob and this place was great. Tonkotsu broth was top notch and very flavorful. Meat portion was generous.

The ramen is really good and they give you a good amount for the price. The toppings are also fairly priced, and they give you a good amount.

I cannot express how excited my hubby and I are to FINALLY have an authentic Japanese Ramen restaurant in Corona. Alex (owner) is so sweet and very passionate about his art form. We had the Tonkotsu with Chasu Pork. This bowl of perfection... reminded me of a warm hug given to you by your grandma, who hasnt seen you in years. It was comforting. It was homey. It just made everything right in the world as you consumed this hearty bowl of flavor! The broth was garlicky/creamy and had a lot of depth in flavor. The Chasu Pork was melt in your mouth good and oh-so tender. We also had the Chicken Karagge and Takoyaki. Both delicious as appetizers or a meal on its own. Alex is very knowledgeable, and is able to recommend the perfect bowl for you. Please come support this small business, you will NOT be disappointed.

Two thumbs up 👍 👍. Hanami Ramen is a must. Food portions are good, price is good, and service was excellent. They only opened 4 days ago and theyre already kicking butt. We had Gyoza, Fried Calamari, Tonkotsu Ramen, and a Kaarage Chicken Bowl. We loved all of it. Will definitely go back with more people.

NGL, I waited until I had tried every flavor of broth here. Every single one is amazing and smooth. The richness of each broth makes my mouth water. The garlic pork bowl is the perfect blend to start the meals off right too. I am in LOVE with this place. Bi weekly visits since they opened hahaha just try any flavor you want and be impressed. 15/10 will be back again and again

After visiting Tokyo I thought that ramen in America would be ruined for me. This place proved me wrong. Wonderful ramen. Where many places have a wide variety but mid quality, this place has a smaller selection but makes sure that its done right. Cant wait to come back.

Never thought we could have a solid Ramen place in Corona/Norco. My wifes and my food was really good and so satisfying for our Ramen-fix.

So, this is my first review. Ive had my experience with ramen and this sadly wasnt it for me, it was a nice place and great customer service but I would say youre better off making top ramen at home and spent way too much for poor quality. If you live in the area though there is a place called JINYA not too far from here. Or just go to Badlands its just across the way. (Its not ramen but way better).
