This is a great ramen spot. Wasn't too busy when we got there around 1:30 pm…read more We came for lunch (no lunch specials just an all day menu) and ordered the tonkotsu spicy black ramen, some spicy tuna rolls, and an order of takoyaki. All very fresh! Ramen was rich and flavorful. Not too salty not bland, but just right. The pork chasu was tender and fresh. I liked the plentiful topping and the seasoned egg a lot. Takoyaki had a crunch and was soft in the center, just right. Spicy tuna wasn't least bit fishy and was also very fresh. You do need to ask for wasabi and ginger as it did not come with it. The service from our waiter was kind and consistent. We had a great expectant we will definitely be back to enjoy this place again!

I used to go to this restaurant all the time and loved the food. It has been over 5 years since I…read morelast went so maybe ownership changed but the name stayed. The ramen looked decent, vegetables, toppings were okay. But the Chashu was really tough and too fatty. The Karage (fried chicken) looked and tasted like what you would get with fish and chips. I've never had Karage like this before. The table was sticky. The child booster was also sticky. Just felt like things haven't been cleaned in a while. The only redeeming quality were the nice and friendly employees. Unfortunately, I don't think I'll be coming back. There's a lot of other ramen restaurants in OC that are way better for the price.

MyMen Ramen is an excellent spot for anyone who loves flavorful, satisfying ramen. The food was…read morefantastic, with rich, well balanced flavors in every dish we tried. You can tell the ingredients are fresh and carefully prepared. The vibes of the place are great, welcoming, relaxed, and perfect for a casual meal.

I highly recommend it to anyone craving delicious ramen and a pleasant dining environment. I will definitely be coming back.

In any case not a ton of seating so if it's busy you may be doing take out. Service seemed a little slow for ramen but everything came out as it was ready and I was starving so maybe it just felt slow. I had some chicken skin gyoza, spam musubi, and tonkatsu ramen level two spicy. Everything was really good! Drink options were interesting and tried this citrus milk soda thing that was refreshing. Also tried the Japanese sweet potato dessert and it was really good. Our waiter spoke Japanese which was fun to practice the four words I know LOL!

The Tonkotsu miso ramen. They are clearly being cheap or taking shortcuts because the broth is more watered down than when they first took over the place. They are now adding more MSG because I got a huge migraine by the end of the night. The staff was super friendly as usual tho. I really hope they turn things around or they will continue to lose customers.

Our first experience here was great with our server as he was really attentive to my boyfriend's…read moredietary restrictions. When he mentioned he was vegan, the server actually informed us that the noodles have egg in it and to swap it out for spinach. We returned a few weeks later and when ordering, he mentioned again he was vegan. The server took our order and mentioned the veggie miso uses veggie broth, no mention of the noodles. Since it was our 2nd visit here, we didn't remember the egg noodles until my bowl came out. We flagged the server down and once again mentioned his dietary restriction and asked if it's too late to sub out the noodles. He mentioned the ramen was already done but could ask the kitchen. We offered to pay for that bowl and taking it to go while they just made a new one for us that was 100% vegan. He said it was fine and they would just remake it. When his food came out, the server lectured us about next time to let him know of any "special requests" that we had ahead of time even though he did mention he was VEGAN when ordering. I nicely informed him we had only been there 1 other time so didn't remember that the noodles were egg noodles. My boyfriend also chimed in saying that we knew it was our mistake and was why we offered to pay for that bowl to go and have them make another one. The server said it wasn't a big deal but continued lecturing us and stating they had to waste an entire bowl of ramen. When my boyfriend received his bowl it was clear to see that they didn't throw it away as the server claimed since his bowl was extremely messy. It looked like the kitchen was upset with us and made the bowl with anger as the toppings were all over the place. While we really enjoyed our first visit, we'll never come back.

It is a small spot but a lot of customers were practically on their last bite. I can see how hard working everyone is, packing the to go orders, getting the customers orders and check out. I appreciate their quick service and politeness. We got lucky and were the last customers to be sat, right on the dot at 8:30 we got the last table. We ordered the tskuemen and my goodness, soo good! I love how freshly cooked the noodles are and the thick and rich broth. it hits the spot on a cold night. I really appreciated their service, they didn't push us to leave since we were the only customers left and let us enjoy our meal.

I will recommend trying this place since it's a Michelin star ramen joint.

I first discovered Butaton Ramen a couple of years ago, and it's still one of my go-to spots in…read moreGarden Grove -- especially for their lunch special. The lunch combo is such a solid deal. You get a regular-sized bowl of ramen, plus your choice of either a beef rice bowl or chashu rice bowl, and a side salad. For just an additional $6 on top of the ramen you were already going to order, you get the rice bowl and salad -- which honestly makes the whole meal feel complete. We always order the Butaton ramen, and it never steers us wrong. It's consistently satisfying and comforting. Between the two rice bowl options, I definitely prefer the chashu over the beef. The chashu just has more flavor and pairs better with the ramen in my opinion. If you're deciding between the two, I'd go chashu every time. I also love how the meal flows: - The side salad adds that fresh start to the meal. -The rice bowl gives you something hearty and savory. * And then you finish strong with the ramen. We came around 1 PM on a Wednesday and were actually the only customers there. Honestly? It felt like VIP service. Our server was super friendly, accommodating, and very attentive. One thing I personally use to gauge service: if my water glass hits about 30% full, I expect it to be refilled before it's empty. And even though we were the only ones there, he was consistently on top of it. That kind of attention to detail really stands out to me. We also ordered green tea to round out the meal, and everything just felt easy and enjoyable. Overall, I keep coming back for a reason. Great value, comforting food, and attentive service. If you're going for the lunch combo, definitely choose the chashu rice bowl over the beef.

My friends and I came here after a long day at Disneyland, and it definitely hit the spot!…read more The wait time to be seated took a bit long though-or maybe it felt extra long because of the long day at Disney. I think it was just an overall busy night with large parties during the time we went, so that's ok! The menu had an extensive variety of items to choose from. There were so many different sushi options, as well as ramen, bento boxes, appetizers, drinks, etc. We decided to order ramen and sushi. The ramen we each ordere was the Kuro Mayu. It was good, but not really my preference. The noodles also threw me off because they werent the typical ramen noodles I'm used to. Next time, I'd most likely order a different ramen. The sushi, on the other hand, was pretty good! We ordered a few plates and wanted more but were too full!! My friends also liked the muscles. Our orders came out pretty quickly and staff was kind! I love the ambience of the restaurant, too. It was nice, dimly lit, and very chill.

The food came out quickly and was delicious! We ordered so much ramen, sushi, appetizers and Udon. It was all really good! This was the first time my sons tried uni and they loved it! It was so fresh and oceany in all the best ways! That udon broth is to die for! The ambiance of the restaurant is one of my favorite things about this place. It really brings you back to a rational Japanese eatery with dark wood accents and lighting. The seating is comfortable and we had plenty enough space for all five of us. The parking in the lot was plentiful as well. Overall, I recommend Kopan and this location specifically. While there might be a lot of other ramen places to choose from in Orange County, Kopan offers more and does everything well.

Stopped by Karai Hand Roll Bar & Ramen and had a great experience overall…read more Appetizer: * Pork Gyoza -- perfect for sharing and really tasty. 5/5 Handrolls: * Shrimp Handroll -- decent, but just okay. 3/5 * Bulgogi Handroll -- not the best fit for a handroll style. 3/5 * 3 Kings -- loved that you can choose your own fillings, and it was delicious. Highly recommended! 5/5 The servers and chef were very nice, and it's casual seating (you just seat yourself). Service was quick, and for the price, I'd say it's a good value.

Service was friendly when I stopped by for a late lunch and we were warmily greeted by the staff. We dined in and there are about 10 seats available to sit at or you can order take out which is what most people do. They have a variety of options to choose from, I went with the spicy salmon and scallop hand rolls and both were delicious. The salmon carpaccio and spicy edamame we ordered as appetizers was also solid. They brought out our handrolls as they finished making them and spaced it out so not everything came out all at once which I liked. The free salad was refreshing and a good palate cleanser. They also offer fresh wasabi for an extra charge which I liked. Overall, this is a solid spot for handrolls and sushi and I recommend coming here if you want something on the lighter side that isn't too heavy compared to the other spots in Rodeo 39! A 7.5/10

I came here with a friend at 9:30PM on a Wednesday because we wanted to check out the happy hour,…read moreand it was pretty busy when we got there even though it was a random weekday night! We we seated immediately because there were a couple bar seats open. It took a bit to get our order in because they were so busy, but it was nice just watching the people behind the counter make drinks. There were no physical menus and we scanned a QR code to see the menu. We ordered a couple things off the happy hour menu and loved it! Scallop Crudo - probably my favorite dish from the night! the sauce was tangy and citrusy, which was perfect for me. Tom Kha Ramen - This is a hit every time and I was so happy to see it on the happy hour menu. I'm not normally a ramen fan, but the broth is great! Corn cheese - A standard corn cheese IMO Beef Curry - DELICIOUS and had SO MUCH meat. I think this was so worth the price! Yuzu Cocktail - I'm alright with prosecco, but my friend absolutely loved this! All in all, a great happy hour experience. I might recommend making a reservation because it seemed to get even busier after we sat down

OVERALL : I'm a big fan of HiroNori and have dined at their…read moreother locations several times, but this was my first time at the Orange location. It's def more hidden since it's in a business buiding, but there was still a full house when we visited on a Thurs evening for dinner. We waited around 20 mins to be seated. The ordering process was quick, service was friendly, and the food came out quick. Loved both their ramen and apps! PARKING : This location is a bit unique; it's in a courtyard area of a business building! The parking lot out front was pretty empty when we came around 7pm on a Thursday. We followed signs to get into the courtyard with the storefront. FOOD/DRINKS : Tonkotsu Ramen - Pork Chashu, spinach, green onion, seaweed, bean sprout, half egg -- creamy and flavorful broth, love the toppings and the chashu is some of the most tender I've had! Upgraded to Combo to include a small salad + salmon poke rice bowl - Salad dressing was nice and acidic, helped to have some veg between all the decadent bites! Salmon poke was okay, but I like Spicy Tuna more for sure. Quite a bit of rice in the bowl compared to fish. Spicy Cold Dipping Noodle - Bonito dashi broth w/ chili oil, cold noodles with pork chashu, bamboo, kaiware sprouts, bean sprouts, egg, spinach -- Super refreshing and cold! Loved the vinegar-y refreshing dipping broth. Not spicy to me, but had good chili flavor. Crispy Rice w/ Spicy Tuna - spicy tuna, avocado, crispy rice, eel sauce -- rice was soft yet crispy, not too oily. generous amount of spicy tuna. Matcha Latte w/ Azuki Boba - i like to get this when i dine here -- it's not a strong fancy coffeeshop "double matcha" by any means, but it's not trying to be one. It's a nice creamy matcha drink with red bean flavor thrughout and boba at the bottom. I like it as a sweet treat after all the savory foods!

There isn't a huge amount of space/seating but I was able to be seated immediately for my party of two for Friday dinner. The menu here is pretty limited but they seem to do each item really well.

It seems there was text on the menu about how to bypass it, but they blocked it out in marker so it's not avoidable.

We ordered three Blaze Ramen combos, and unfortunately, all three had issues. One bowl (tofu + added corn) came out with pork and no corn. Another (chicken, no corn) came with pork and corn. By that point, my boyfriend didn't want to send the entire bowl back, so he just asked for a side of chicken and removed the pork himself. The third bowl (chicken, corn, mild, no bean sprouts) came with bean sprouts and an overwhelming amount of chili. After dealing with the first two orders, I didn't even want to send it back--I just didn't eat. It was frustrating, especially since we know how good this place can be. The only bright spot was the pork buns--they were excellent as always. Would have been a one-star experience otherwise.
