2023-10-25 21:56:08In short,It’s an ok lunch spot for ramen.With a fee more details,Typical Americanized ramen place as soon as you walk in. Great. Clean.Food was ok. I got the Tonkotsu. Broth was delicious but everything else was ordinary. Mostly noodles and bot much anything with it so spice it up. I don’t think the black garlic was black garlic. And my bowl came without the half egg it promised on the menu. They brought it in after I complained…Spicy Tuna on crispy rice was very delicious so I recommend that if you end up eating here.Water was infused with lemon and such things so it had seeds and other remnants but I had no clue so at first I assumed there is something in my water.The lady would was waiting on us, hated her job and needs a lot more training if she wants to keep doing this.She was impatient for us to choose something knowing very well that I just sat down and don’t even have a menu. She had a bad attitude and it’s like pulling teeth to get napkins, to ask a question, to pay…Now that we arrived at payment, they automatically charge you 16% gratuity without warning or asking, which is a no go for me. That service did not deserve me to pay 16% for it…Maybe that’s part of their problem. Dock her pay and she’ll get it together? Not sure but I’m going elsewhere next time.

2023-08-05 01:22:31I think this is one of the better ramen spots I’ve had across LA. The broth here is so rich and flavorful, definitely has a distinguished flavor that makes you look up at your friends and go “WOW.” The noodles were also on point. Their karaage is also solid.

2023-07-22 02:00:53After trying a variety of mediocre vegan ramens in the area, I feel compelled to write that this vegan ramen was the best Ive ever had. The broth was rich and creamy and the variety of veggies as toppings helped elevate the dish and flavors. If you are in the mood for a filling (I brought half home!) and well balanced broth with a great sesame base this is your spot!

2023-09-10 04:50:17I came here expecting the ramen to taste amazing. But sadly, I was greatly disappointed that it was so average. I find Ramen Tatsunoya to taste better. And, I sure wasn’t happy when they added a service charge of 16.54% before taxes. Won’t be returning.

2023-07-02 04:09:10I got the tonkatsu ramen. The broth here is amazing. It kind of tasted like seolleongtang soup which is a Korean milky beef bone soup, but a pork version of that. The food tasted clean and simple as it should. High quality bowl.The restaurant is quite spacious inside, given that it’s on a busy street. Service was pretty solid.

2022-09-13 03:29:17Creamy soup, garlic, chewy with the right amount of firmness noodles, yummy egg, and pork 😋 A mix of deliciousness!!I first heard about this place from my friend and loved it when I tried it!I wish there was a dipping noodle that wasn’t spicy but the tonkotsu ramen was and always is delicious 😋😋We also tried the mochi ice cream (green tea flavor) and it was delicious!!Service was great and we had good seats. We walked here so we didn’t have to worry about parking.The bowl is a perfect size and filling but not too big.Also, their AC is at a perfect level where it’s cooling but not freezing and after you drink the soup, you don’t feel stuffy.

2022-05-22 18:49:32Pretty darn good ramen. The noodles were a little soggy. I would recommend the thin noodles. They have cool infused water. Their broth is very rich and flavorful. The appetizers are really good. Overall a great ramen place.

2022-07-10 04:15:35Seldom have I taken the time lately to write compelling, Pulitzer-award-worthy reviews on here, mostly cause my recent dining experiences have been unremarkable and Id rather do the business a favor by not leaving a review than by leaving a 3 star one. That all changed today when I came to check out this location of Hiro Nori. Im well-acquainted with their Irvine location, since I lived 5 minutes away from it for 3 years. I already know their tsukemen with their hideous Bonito fish based dipping broth is not worth the energy it just took my fingers to type that, so I decided to skip that and went for the combo of Tonkotsu, salmon poke bowl and salad. Every single element in this combo came together to form an amalgamation of near-fine-dining-experience caliber. The salmon poke bowl alone is such a solid choice (it can be bought individually for 10 dollars but its better just bought as part of a combo). The Tonkotsu broth is rich, palatable and thick, the sliced pork is delicious, and the noodles are cooked to perfection. This is truly a solid experience in my first foray into Pasadenas dining scene, and hoping (but doubting) that it can be eventually topped by another ramen shop in the area. いただきます!

2023-12-10 01:41:56Came here with a BIG group and they skillfully accommodated us and got all our orders out quickly and the ramen was exquisite! Most of our group love ramen and everyone loved this place. Great staff, great food, definitely worth checking out if you like ramen.

2023-02-25 07:25:12Came here for dinner with some friends on a Thursday night at around 6pm and it was empty! Service was great.I ordered the tonkotsu and tried my friend’s shoyu ramen and both were delicious. Garlic is free so I did add a healthy serving into my soup. Both had spinach in it, which was new to me, but it wasn’t bad. The broth wasn’t super salty, which is the way I personally like it—I drank all of it 😅
