Great staff, great food, great service! Manager was so friendly and easy-going and spoke fluent Japanese. Mazemen was so flavorful, appetizers were so delicious and authentic. Nankotsu and Takowasa were giveaways that this place was an authentic Japanese restaurant, both delicious. Nankotsu had a very nice kick of black pepper that left me wanting more. The OIMESHI concept for mazemen was something that surprised me but makes total sense and I loved it. 10/10 will come again and maybe Ill be able to visit their locations in west LA and Costa Mesa too.

Wow! I was determined to find other places that had dry noodle in this special style, and was so happy that me and my family found this on yelp! They call this Mazeman, and some of the places I tried, I kept thinking, I wish there was more variety, in case a family member doesn’t really eat this style of noodles. Well I don’t have to look any further, as this place has plenty to choose from. Not only was there Mazeman, there was Ramen, and even rice bowls!. I’m not quite sure how the service is in this place, but when I took my order the person helping was nice and patient.FoodSo since it was our first time, and they had so many items we decided to try a few different dishes. Had to try the Deluxe Mazeman. Maybe I have never ordered this to go, but it was an awesome experience. There were instructions on the bowl itself on how to get your Mazeman ready to eat. You have to first heat it up, then add the egg they have for you (it’s cooked a bit) and mix everything up. Then you add the vinegar provided, enjoy and add some rice in the end to finish all the ingredients.The squid appetizer and the chicken they have is so good as well.The place was in a bit of an unexpected location, but it wasn’t too hard to find. It was clean inside and looked modern. I cant wait to come back and try more of the different food that they have. Until next time!

We went there on a rainy day. Not crowded.Mazemen was great. I mean... Come on! We have too many ramen-focused restaurants! It is really nice to see some good alternatives.The plazas parking lot entrances were on Walnut Ave. There is no exit at State College.

An authentic Mazemen spot.I tried the Deluxe and Tokyo. Noodle was really aldente - not too soft and just firm enough texture. Poached egg over the sauce went really nicely together. Very attentive and friendly service.If you like udon noodles minus the broth, I highly recommend this restaurant.

Saw this on IG and decided to give it try. Place was very clean, service was exceptional and attentive. I LHR been cutting back on carbs but demolished my bowl of noodles which was tasty but the noodles texture was exactly how I remembered in Japan. Only downside is that plaza seems to be kind of dead (good for parking) and seemed bit unsecure. Needless to say, lived up to to expectations and will be back.

Upon entering we were asked for the number in our party. We were seated immediately. And our server was by quickly to take our order. There are some really tasty vegan/vegetarian options. We ordered the Mazemen and Ramen. Both were tasty. Im usually skeptical about the impossible meat but they did a good job at seasoning it and the texture was not rubbery. Overall food was 10/10. The tables are a little closer together, but its still comfortable.

My first time trying Mazemen and it was absolutely an unforgettable experience, made even better with the amazing server we had.I ordered the Tokyo Mazemen and he explained to me how it was meant to be enjoyed. It was the perfect amount of spice and I loved the blend of flavors. My sister also ordered the fried peppers as an appetizer while her main dish was the Deluxe Mazemen.The server was absolutely attentive, refilling waters, and even gave us extra napkins when he saw we used up what we already had.The experience is very much worth it.

Stopped in here today for lunch for the first time. If the great and friendly tag team service by Tan and Kristen isn’t enough to get you to come back for another meal, the food most certainly will.They explain step by step how to enjoy this meal: 1. Snap open the egg 2. Mix the ingredients really well 3. Eat half of the bowl before adding the vinegar (don’t skip this step!) 4. Empty the scoop of rice they deliver towards the end to soak up all of the deliciousness of the broth.A few things I really enjoyed about this meal :1. It’s not JUST a meal, it’s also an experience2. Adding the vinegar halfway through? Brilliant - it gives an entirely different combination of flavors as if you’re eating a different meal, and the small scoop of rice at the end is the “icing on the cake”3. You’ll enjoy a party in your mouth and your taste buds will be thanking you even hours after the meal.4. You will leave full and beyond satisfied with the portion-sizeI didn’t get to enjoy it today but they have a great Sake Tuesday Happy Hour and a Wine Down Wednesday Happy Hour which I will have to return for.I would sum up Mogu Mogu in 3 words: More locations please!

Interesting place for noodles. Its a dry noodle with flavorful sauces, chashu, and minced pork for topping. Follow the instructions on the wall so you can enjoy the right way to eat Mazemen.$1 for chili oil but yelp check-in for free.

I ordered the takowasa and curry mazemen. The curry was pretty salty but it had good flavor. I prob wont order it again but I do want to try other items on the menu. Quality was great. Im familiar with the area so I knew how to get there. If youre not its a bit tricky to find. Cant see the restaurant from the street. If it says to turn on Fender Ave you cant lol. You turn on walnut.

The taste is really good! It is hard to find good Japanese food in Fullerton. Gonna eat again. The ramens have strong garlic and green onion flavor, let the waiter know if you would not like that.

Loved the mazemen! The sauce is thick and strong, the noodles soak up all the savory sauce topped with chili and garlic! The fried chicken is crispy and flavorful as well! Great place for mazemen!!

Mazemen? Mogumogu introduced me to mazemen and I never looked back. I still think this place offers the best mazemen in Orange County. The service is great and theres a huge parking lot. I live nearby so I usually stop by here every month!

What a gem! Wonderful brothless ramen. Tucked away in a business park/mall, everything here is great. If its your first time get their popular bowl, the deluxe.

One of the best ramen out there. There is a branch in Santa Monica and I am excited they have one in Fullerton! I love the dry style Tokyo mazemen, but their regular tonkatsu ramen is also very delicious. I like adding their homemade vinegar which adds to the soup for me. I always finish the whole bowl. Yum!

Mogu Mogu has definitely mastered the art of their MAZEMEN noodle dish, serving it up without broth and instead with a delicious sauce and an array of toppings. While the Deluxe option at Mogu Mogu already includes minced pork, chashu, poached egg, and soft boiled egg, I highly recommend adding extra garlic to really elevate the dish.The process at Mogu Mogu is just as important as the dish itself, and they do an excellent job of teaching visitors how to properly mix everything together for the ultimate flavor experience. And if youre looking for a new taste halfway through, dont forget to add a splash of vinegar!One of the best things about this dish is that you get three variations in one. Not only do you mix everything up to create the perfect combination, but you also get a scoop of rice mixed with the leftover sauce to end your meal on a high note. And if you run out of rice, dont worry - theyll provide more mid-way through your meal.The texture and thickness of the noodles are fantastic, and while the sauce may be a tad salty for some, it still packs a great flavor punch. All in all, Mogu Mogus MAZEMEN is a must-try dish for noodle lovers, especially with the added bonus of extra garlic.

They seem to be short staffed on waiters. The old lady who took our order must have been filling in since she doesnt seem to know the dishes that will.

My girlfriend and I had been to the Costa mesa location two times and both times we enjoyed the food there. So it was surprising when this location popped up near by when we were deciding on dinner.Same quality food with no lines. Thats probably because its tucked away. Got the Tokyo mazemen and curry mazemen. Also got the fried squid appetizer cause weve tried a few of the other appetizers at the other location already. Great quality food and flavors on point! Manager took our order and was very friendly! Would recommend if you like ramen or saucey noodles!

Delicious, first time having Mazemen. Was a little hesitant for the lack of broth but was convinced by other reviews. Had a portion and a half shared with my friend, was too good.Had the deluxe Mazemen, very worth while.

We have been to the costa mesa location many times for the delicious dry ramen. Came here for soft opening and the food is just as good. Service was quick, friendly, and efficient. Parking is plentiful in this plaza. Beer and sake is served.

First time here. And I will be back. Tried the deluxe mazemen all I got to say is WOW! I thought this was going to be basic Ramen this is not at all just Ramen. This was a bowl of deliciousness. When you get here try it. Dont be scared. Do it...

Mixed ramen, very interesting! They have a location in ktown and Costa Mesa, so I was pretty sure this place would smack. Kinda hard to survive in those locations without a good product.I thought it would be similar to summer style brothless noodles, but its very warm and comforting! I got the deluxe, which comes with chashu and ground pork, poached and soft boiled egg, fish powder, seaweed, and green onions, with extra poached egg and cilantro. I wanted that creamy yolk mixture *drool*Its very delicious; solid umami taste. Im also a fan of thicker noodles so this was right up my alley. Like any decent ramen place, the noodles are perfectly al dente. I didnt see an option for thin noodles. The sesame seed grinder is very convenient to use, and the homemade umami vinegar (kombu and chili pepper marinating in vinegar) is a great finisher for the heavier elements of the sauce. Then, you can sop up all the yumminess with a scoop of complementary rice. I love it when a dish youre eating goes through various phases, it keeps it fun and exciting. Ill have to try their tonkotsu broth next time, but their flagship dish is enough to keep me coming back. Im very happy there are more solid ramen spots opening up in Fullerton, the selection is not too great rn.A different way to enjoy everyones favorite dish - ramen!

I like Mazesoba, so I was looking around for this place and I think this is the best one I found. Dont try to save money and order the deluxe. The other menus are mediocre, but only the deluxe is delicious.

The mixed soba here is really delicious. There is homemade vinegar on the desk, and when you sprinkle it on it, it becomes even more delicious. At the end, a bite-sized piece of rice comes out, and when you mix it with the leftover soup and eat it, its even more delicious!
