Good place to come if you are craving something hot and soupy. The restaurant has 3 large tables and 2 high chair tables and 2 bar type stool sections for dinning in. They have a self order kiosk and a place to bust your dishes after you are done with the meal. We ordered the ramen with popcorn chicken miso soup which was well done had corn and nice base soup with the star popcorn chicken. Ramen whiskey with pork belly was ok, meat wasn't as soft or flavorful, Taiwanese beef noodle was good, wife didn't complain as much this time and wasn't sweet like all of their other dishes. The worst was the popcorn chicken rice dish. It felt like they didn't mix well, the rice was hard and not tasty and the popcorn chicken with the teriyaki sauce didn't work. Also, I was sure why I tipped at the kiosk as I self ordered, cleaned my table, picked up my food and bust my table.. I'll chalk it up to a brain fart. The place is ok, average noodle place. read more

Fast, friendly and very good! It was crowded when we walked in but everyone clears out fast. The shrimp appetizer was fresh, delicious and they were huge. Chicken and rice bowl was a hit for the kid. Them having Elemental on for our hangry daughter really helped us out too. read more

Brand new place up here. Price is fair for Ramen, comparable to San Diego prices. Beer is cheap though at $4.50. Ramen broth is very good and the shrimp is excellent. It's a great spot to pop in for a warm meal. Limited seating so to go is always a good way to go. read more

If you come here only get the crunchy chicken. That looked edible. I got the Taiwanese beef soup and my friend got the whiskey ramen. The beef was mostly fat- the small pieces that were beef were overcooked and one bite was straight mint or something. It shimmered too- which was weird. The egg was straight from the freezer cold. The broth wasn't worth the $20. The machine that took my order asked me for a tip. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There was barely any seating.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] This is the 3rd bad review I've ever left in my life. This place is a straight up scam, but I guess that's what I get for wanting ramen in Big Bear. read more

The food is great and the meat is quite generous. The whiskey ramen also has plenty of whiskey so you can taste the slight spice in the food. Would return when we come back up, especially after skiing and need something warm and filling. The popcorn chicken is also perfectly crispy. read more

Falls advertisement, the place looks great at first glance.... I got the miso soup ramen bowl with "grilled" chicken. It is actually boiled chicken and tastes like it was cooked in gross water. The dumplings are also very squishy and soft very little taste with a not so appetizing sauce added. Maybe I just had a bad experience but for $59 I will never have this place again. read more

Ordered the Taiwanese Beef Noodle Soup, Whiskey Shoyu Ramen and the Popcorn Chicken. Everythjng was delicious!

Overpriced for ramen soup that taste like it was watered down. Even with the added chile. We were a party of three and none of us enjoyed our soups. Service is okay. Confusing when you first walk in. You Have to order on a screen. I usually give a restaurant 3 chances in total if I don't enjoy it the first time. I'm not saying I will never return, but I wouldn't go out of my way for it. read more

Wow. Just wow! I am sooooo happy this place was added to Big Bear. The ramen was so delicious, great size portions, and super friendly staff. Very clean place. Lots of seating. 5 stars all around. read more

Had low expectations being that it's ramen in big bear. The food up here has never been stand out-ish... but this place is bangin. A bit pricey for the ramen but the beer is only $6!! but if you're wanting some ramen and you don't have a huge appetite, this place is perfect. Service is great, bro at the counter was very helpful. I'll definitely be back. read more

This restaurant is exactly what I was looking for and what is missing in Big Bear Village. I have been craving Taiwanese and Japanese noodle soup, but there has not been anything good in Big Bear. The whisky Shoyu is a must-try. Their food is amazing and they have the best Garlic butter shrimp I ever tasted. read more

Huge soup portions, fresh and delicious. We both had the Taiwanese beef noodle: great broth, tender beef, perfect ramen; and shared the popcorn chicken: bigger than popcorn but crispy on the outside, tender on the inside and yummy dipped in the sweet and sour; we loved everything! We're locals so we'll definitely put this place on our play list :) read more

We walked in and the sign said "closed", yet employees were inside. Seems there were 3 employees, one of which had his head down on a table and the other two appeared like they couldn't be bothered. Asked us to flip the sign to open. Food was ok, quite salty for my taste. After we ordered, all employees were back buried in their phones. Some tables had trays with eaten food, not being bussed. Cute placed, food ok, service wasn't good. This was prime time - noon on a Friday of ocktoberfest. Place was empty. I can't imagine why. read more

I really wanted to like this but unfortunately it was not great. Service was slow with only 1 person working. He wasn't friendly and took long to get orders out even tho it wasn't busy. The ramon soup was super salty. I think it was the broth that was salty. I tried just to eat the ramon. I read another review that also said it was salty. II can put up with bad, slow service if the food is good. But this was not. Maybe they can work on less salt. read more

The spicy wonton is not much spicy, a little sour vinegar, with garlic and green onion, it was so good, high recommend. I also like the Garlic Butter Shrimp, they are crispy and fresh. It's cold outside and i had the ramen noodle with hot soup, it's delicious. Should try this restaurant and i will come back if I go to the Big Bear Lake. read more

The food is pretty good. Good service servers were nice to me and my girlfriend, and the place was pretty clean.

Food is definitely 5 stars. Hours definitely one star. Met in the middle at 3. Closing at 6 during the week is the worst for someone that lives here full time because I just want dinner at a normal hour... even on Fridays. I would frequent it way more if they were open more reasonably. Bummed out. But again food is excellent. read more

The food was delicious. We enjoyed the ramen and spicy dumplings. The dumplings had good spice and were topped with ginger, garlic, and scallions that complemented the spicy sauce. read more

We are locals and I have been in Big Bear for over 40 years. This place is a must try for visitors and locals alike. The Ramen was outstanding and the teriyaki chicken rice bowl and garlic shrimp are excellent. Service was prompt even with crowds. Highly recommend! Best Japanese food on the hill! read more

I'm not usually one to leave bad reviews but I was very unhappy with the quality of the food here. I love ramen but the ramen here was not tasteful at all. It was quite pricey which made the experience much more disappointing. My partner and I don't like to waste food so we tried to eat it anyway but we simply could not. The food may have been bad but I will say they had good customer service. read more

We had a delivery food order of roughly 20 items, and they did amazing organizing everything and labeling. Thank you for your cooperation, we appreciate it very much! read more

The Ramen here is amazing. It was our first time coming to Bog Bear and we were looking for some food and found this cozy place. There were 2 workers and they were both nice and very attentive to our needs. It is something different since you order at the kiosk first then sit down and they'll call your number to pick up your food at the cashier counter or they bring it to you. The only thing is there was no drink fountain, instead it is only cans being sold. We ordered a spicy wonton, a white rice, and 2 Miso Pork Belly Ramen which we normally get spicy miso at other places, but we just put packet Siracha sauce packets and it was all good. (: read more

Came for lunch on a Saturday afternoon. It was busy but we walked right in and were able to order right away. Customer service was great. I ordered the whiskey shoyu ramen which was good, the broth was good but not as flavorful as I thought it would be. A pack of soy sauce helped it out. My husband got the popcorn chicken teriyaki bowl and he very much enjoyed it. It was the spicy wontons that we both agreed was the best out of all dishes. All in all we will definitely be back to enjoy the food here. read more

Found a hair in two separate dishes, and when I found out right after paying that the shrimp was breaded (my mom who I purchased them for is gluten free) I asked for a refund for that dish. They hadn't even started making the shrimp and the girl said they don't do refunds. Awful customer service, pretty tasty (albeit hairy) food. read more

Good ramen with healthy portions. I had the Miso with grilled chicken, yum! The popcorn chicken, excellent! Will go back, definitely.

Wasn't expecting to find such a well crafted bowl of ramen in Big Bear. The flavors were on point, portion was excellent n Im no meager eater, both the chef and his son are incredibly pleasant peeps, and I will definitely be returning. It's obvious they take great pride and care into crafting such a delicious bowl of Ramen. read more

First star for adding more asian foods especially ramen noodles, 2nd star friendly staff and 3rd star for speed. As far as food taste, it's "fast food" taste and style. Having asian background and noodles all my life, well this does not take me back home vibe. But if you crave for noodles and want them fast and same time enjoy the village come on down!! Husband loves their popcorn chicken or we call it Kaarage. Originally coming from the Southbay, we've been blessed with the best kaarage and ramen houses you can find. read more

WOW! The wonderful after taste is resonated in my mouth. Can I add another star? I've had ramen in many places. Star Noodle in Maui is great. This place tops Star Noodle. Awesome food. Each meal is cooked individually. You'll wait a little, but it's well worth it. When you take it home, they place the broth in separate containers so the noodles don't get soggy. Way to go, Bear Noodle. You've hit a grand slam home run in my town. People! If you want fast food don't come here. These folks cook each meal with care and make sure each portion is fresh. I can't believe people complain when they wait for quality food. The portions are large, so I've got lunch tomorrow. read more

This is a small restaurant. Seating is self serve as well as ordering from a Kiosk. Noodles were good. Unfortunately I was unable to get edit my noodles since that was not an option on the kiosk. Overall it satisfied my noodle craving but experience can be much better. read more

This is a delicious ramen/noodle bar! I had the popcorn chicken, garlic butter shrimp, and miso ramen. The popcorn chicken was amazing--crispy on the outside and juicy and tender on the inside. The garlic butter shrimp were plump and paired perfectly with the creamy miso ramen. The place was clean, and the staff were incredibly friendly. read more

Super good. I had the spicy wontons and my partner got the whiskey shoyu ramen. I never rate things a 10/10, but the spicy wontons were a 10. They were the bomb. My partner also really loved his ramen and he's pretty picky. The workers were all very nice too. I'm sad I'm leaving big bear now, because if I wasn't I would try every dish. read more

MY FAVE PLACE!! so so thankful that they opened! this place is perfect for after a long day on the slopes :D will definitely be coming here all the time!!!! their ramen was SOOO yummy and the takoyaki & shrimp was immaculate. best of all, the service is so so great! read more
