One of my favorite local spots to get ramen. The noodles are very similar to the ones I had in Japan and the broth is also good. The meat isn’t the best but not bad and the egg yolk adds a nice flavor to the soup base. I believe it’s the best spot for ramen in Buena Park. Check this place out if you are in the area!Parking: easy to find, lots of different K-food spots near by . BB.Q chicken, K-pizza, Orange bar.Please give a like if you find this helpful

Great Ramen and Udon. Lovely vibe and atmosphere here as well. This place is a Gem!I have ordered take out here on several occasions. Food was amazing for takeout. However, once I was able to dine in, and taste the food while it was fresh.... oof! So amazing!Ramen broth, and noodles are delicious and hearty. The sides are equally as amazing as well.The staff is super friendly, and the ordering kiosk is a neat experience! Makes this easy, and quick. There is plenty of seating for large, and small parties.Highly recommend!!

10/10 would visit for the authentic Japanese style dining experience, the wide selections of dishes, and the savory Hiro Ramen broth again

Great food and fast service. Variety of styles of ramen to choose from, as well on sides . The taste is excellent and very reasonable price. Come visit and decide for yourself.

Very good place with well priced foods. Although the menu seems complicated at first, it all make sense if you slow down and see how the menu is structured.Its a good place but I didnt find anything too particular special though.

Surprisingly good Japanese eatery. Flavor is mixed - some may be bland, some are salty. Plenty of choices. Pricing is on the high end.

Fantastic shrimp tempura udon (my meal), excellent chicken katsu curry with cabbage/corn salad (according to my sibling), and really good fried squid skewers (appetizer). Its been years since Ive had Japanese udon (mostly because Ive been disappointed with recent attempts at finding decent udon)...this udon did not disappoint. Would definitely make a trip back here the next time Im in the area. You order at the front and pick up your meal (rather than a server coming out to your table)...an easy and efficient process with friendly staff. Would love to try their ramen next time!

Finally got a chance to try this restaurant. The food taste great. I really love Zaru Soba so much, this is what I’m looking for. The tempura also good and crispy. The Kushikatsu was ok, I was actually expected a bit more variety instead just pork, beef, and shrimp. Next time, I will come back to try Udon or Ramen. :)

Order at the tablet, wait to pick up your food, easy enough. Not at all crowded for weekday dinner, and the cold soba was fresh and dippable! The tempura pairing also hot, fresh and delightful! The other apps were just okay, but thatll never be the main reason to come here.

Wow. It is hidden delicious restaurant. I am not sure, but I guess this restaurants opened recently. I ordered Kake Udon, Chicken Remen, Fish cake tempura and Shrimp tempura.All foods are so delicious. Especially, Chicken Ramen is fantastic.

Proper noodles and deep rich broth, the spicy sauce that came as an add in hit like a truck so be careful unless you love 🔥🥵 which I do!

2023-01-27 02:31:18

Tasteless. Got a vegetarian ramen that usually has tasty vegetables... Not here. Even the hard boiled egg had no flavor. All I can describe it as was that it tasted like I went to eat there while I had a cold (which I didnt).Not filling. On the expensive side not sure why since food quantity, quality, dish preparation location, facility make one think that prices would be what they are (especially the appetizers).Music was playing so loud I could hardly hear what the person across the table was saying... Asked to lower the music a little and thankfully they did.Not a terrible experience but since the food was tasteless (so it also wasnt worth the price), I dont think will be returning here.

So I was in need of ramen as I was under the weather. My normal shop was not open yet so I decided to give this place a shot. Right away as I entered the restaurant I noticed all the cute little decor. How organized and staged it was. The menu is pretty straightforward. They have ramen,cold noodles and curry. Lots of yummy topping options. What really impressed me was the way there were extra side toppings available to the customer. Now for the taste, its absolutely amazing

Just had a great lunch here with a friend. He had ramen, I had beef udon. Both were great, and portion size was generous. Only down side was that it was a bit pricey for lunch, but still, the food was great and filling. I am definitely interested in heading back to try some different dishes.

Review №31

I had tempura udon here and the taste was good. the tempura was light and crispy. i would come here again to try their ramen.

2023-01-25 17:20:06

Good food. Prices are quite high, but the food is good enough to overlook that. Service is hard to say, as the place is almost self serve. That is not a bad thing.

The Niku Beef udon is my fave! Friendly staff, very clean, great for big parties.

This place is a hidden gem!It has ramen, udon, soba, tempura, and many japanese dishes.Its authentic japanese and you dont need to head to Torrance or Irvine to get that authentic japanese taste!Come here for lunch or dinner and you wont be disappointed.Note: Its more of self served place without waiter and waitress. But it is spacious with many seating.

Review №37

2021-10-11 21:11:37

The food was not too bad however, I have had better Ramen. Most other ramen shops Ive been too have a broth thats more savory, the broth here was a bit bland and slightly bitter. The eggs also seemed a bit off. I think for the price, its not too worth it. The Shrimp Tempura was actually not bad, it was pretty good. I dont think Ill be coming back here, not because the food was that bad, but simply because for the price I paid, I could get better ramen elsewhere.

I was Hungry looking to try something new. Most places around the area estimated around 20 to 30 minutes. Decided to try this place since I was told the wait time would be quick. Not only did I wait 40 + minutes for my food, but 5 orders went ahead of me, all of which were dine In. I was a take order but seems like they prioritize dine in over take out. Really disappointed and I had to go up and ask how much longer for my food. Killed my appetite tbh. 20 bucks, for 40 minutes for a small portion of food that aint even worth all of it. SMH, first time customer with a terrible experience. Definitely not comin here again.

It was a cold friday night and I thought ramen was a good choice and this place seemed like it had both what I wanted and what my girlfriend wanted which was udon. This place gives me similar vibes to marugame udon which does the same order at the front and pick up when called. Broth wasnt too flavorful and neither was the noodles. My slices of pork were a dry so I know its overcooked. I got the spicy sauce and boy was it spicy so fair warning just put a little and try before doing what I did and putting a heaping third of it in the ramen. It was still ok, but it had a kick. Overall not that impressive of a dinner out.

Feels like a dedicated market/food court only for ramen,udon,tempuras. Other small Japanese snacks are sold here also. The owner did a decent job at making the atmosphere more warm.

This is like a fast food place for ramen, udon, and tempura. We ordered Spicy Tonkotsu ramen and Kake udon with multiple tempuras. At first, the soup tasted pretty good but we started noticing that it didn’t have much depth/authentic taste and had more of the MSG-like taste that decreases the appetite as you eat on (maybe it was the temperature). Tempuras were okay — not as crispy as they should be.With 2 noodle soups and tempuras (6-7 pieces), we paid nearly $40. The amount of food wasn’t a lot and the temperature of the soup wasn’t that hot. This is way overpriced for the type and quality of food with no table service.There are many ramen and udon places around that are similarly priced with higher quality and better taste. Im sure some people may like this place for their own reasons. However, this place wasn’t to our liking due to the quality of food and unreasonable price. Probably won’t be coming back.

Service was friendly. Environment was clean and tidy. Food was okay. Music volume was a little to high for us, as our conversation on site seemed more like yelling at one another.

Hands down best chicken I have ever had. I have driven past this place numerous times. I regret not trying it sooner. Prices are very reasonable. This is not fast food. The short wait time was worth it.

I got pork ribs ramen. It was ok, but my friend got the chasu ramen, and they look amazing. The ramen price was on the high end, and there were no table services, so I dont think theyre expecting tips. However, I tipped anyways for the cleanliness and food representation.

Review №93

2022-11-10 05:21:12

The food was really delicious and the staff was very friendly. The prices were also right, we would come back at any time. The restaurant was very empty when we were there, which surprised us because it was really delicious! However, it is self-service, so you order at the counter and then pick up your food. The edamame starter can be shared between two people as the portion is large.
