    Keypoints: - Fairly Priced ~$20/person - Quick - Self Service I ordered a spicy miso ramen and gyoza The spicy ramen overall was good, nothing amazing about it but worth the price. The quantity of the bowl was great for the price, plenty of noodles. The broth was okay, I wouldn't go out of my way for it, but is a great option if it is local to you. The gyoza was very good, I always order gyoza whenever I eat out and it's on the menu. This one is fairly priced and tastes great, good crunch, good temperature, and good sauce. I would recommend to add this to your order. Overall this is a good place to grab a bowl, you get your food quickly, it is self order and self serve. If you're looking for something with minimal interaction, then this would be a good spot. The place is clean and a good selection of food, I would recommend to come here.

    Chicken-katsu Curry Rice, R3. Hiro Ramen

    Been coming to this spot for my curry fix for years. Their portion is big and comes with cabbage salad and fukujinzuke. It's a self-serve, order at the counter-type restaurant. Once your food is ready, just grab and take a seat. They have toppings such as yellow radish and tempura flakes at the counter. Everything you need (to-go boxes, water, and utensils) are also at the counter. Parking is plentiful and shared with the coffee shop next door. The decor is super cute and transports you to Japan.

    Hiro Ramen & Udon is a solid option for all kinds of Japanese food. I tried the Deluxe Tendon ($18). The portion size, batter, seasoning, and crunch was good. There was plenty of rice underneath. I wish there was more sauce. I assume I could've asked for more sauce but I didn't this time. The Deluxe Tendon came with a soup and I was able to get my own portion of pickled radish. There's a side bar area with some additional toppings and seasonings for the different dishes you can order here. There's also a good amount of seating and service was quick.

    A personal favorite while in BP! HIRO shares a parking lot with other sit-down restaurants so it can be pretty busy. Absolutely love the interior and there's fun details in every inch of the place. You order on a kiosk and pick up your food at the counter. Their menu is quite large and they also carry fun snacks/drinks like ramune for you to purchase. We ordered the Tonkatsu Curry, Niku Udon, and Chicken Ramen. I love the portion sizes and the flavor is always top notch! The Niku Udon has bouncy noodles and slightly sweet savory meat, which is the perfect bite when paired with the crunchy tempura pieces they offer. The Tonkatsu Curry was good, but not out of the ordinary. My friend enjoyed the shredded cabbage salad that came with it. Chicken Ramen was standard, my friend would have preferred her chicken a little more cooked. Overall, love this place and will keep coming back!

    This place is a hidden gem! The inside is such a vibe and transports you to Japan. You order at the kiosk and they'll call your name when your order is ready. I got the regular spicy miso ramen, fried gyozas and a Calpico (you just grab your drink from the fridge when you order). The broth was sooo delicious and presentation was a 10/10 honestly. Perfect, lowkey spot for ramen on a rainy, cold day. I'd def come back and try other stuff!

    Stopped by this place on the way home and was instantly greeted when I walked in. The space has a really nice "Japan" feel to it with the decor and layout. Ordering is super easy -- just walk up and place your order on the big screen. There was a short wait, but the staff apologized when our order was ready, which was appreciated. No problem at all. The food itself was solid -- I'd give it an 8/10. You can grab your tray, add your own condiments on the side, and then pick your seat. Simple setup, great system, and tasty ramen. Definitely will be back!

    Great place and food! The parking can get a little packed from the coffee shop next door, but I typically find parking after browsing through the lot. Service is via kiosk then you pick up your meals at the "pick up" station. There's also a self serve daikon and tempura flakes! For the chicken katsu curry rice, I was definitely satisfied. The food was very filling, enough to make a mini lunch! The katsu was crispy, but certain parts of the katsu tasted more like batter with poor chicken ratio (the edge pieces where the chicken gets tenderized too thin) The side salad was a nice refreshing touch to the meal! There's lots of seating inside with cute decor!

    We come here fairly regularly (though more often when the weather is cold). The kids love ramen and the atmosphere. They have other stuff like udon, curry, takoyaki too and some cute Japanese snacks/candy/little trinkets if you feel inclined. So far everything we've ordered has been pretty good, no complaints. It's more of a self service: you order, find a table, get your utensils, bowls, cup, water etc and wait until your food is ready and pick it up. Everything is available including to go containers for soup so there isn't a need to ask for assistance. It's never been busy to seating is not an issue. When you're done eating, you put it all on your tray and then take it to the racks around the corner in the back (near the bathroom). It's kind of different and fun. As a bonus, the coffee next door is connected to this restaurant so I like to order a coffee while waiting. :D

    Large size tonkotsu ramen with mini Niku rice bowl. Delicious and Beautiful
    Joshua P.

    I am so happy about I found my favorite Japanese ramen restaurant at Korea Town Buena Park. I've already been here numerous times for last 5 months. Interior of the restaurant is outstanding, because it is very clean, spacious, and it has traditional Japanese vibe. Everything in here is self serve which means you have to order your food through the kiosk, and pick it up when it is ready. I always order large size tonkotsu ramen with mini niku-rice bowl(Japanese style beef rice bowl). I am very impressed about this restaurant provides generous amount of toppings on the ramen such as mushrooms, boiled eggs, chasu, green onions, and fish cakes. The restaurant also provides ramen's spicy paste on the side, so you can make your ramen spicy by adjusting the spicy level by your own. You can also get side dishes for free such as yellow radish, and red ginger right next to the pick-up counter. Many Japanese ramen places usually charge those for extra, but this place doesn't. Toppings on the ramen were fresh and delicious, especially chasu pieces were so soft, and smooth. The broth was thick and tasty. Noodles inside of the ramen were thin, so it was easy for me to swallow. Mini niku-rice bowl also had good amount of marinate beef on top of the rice, and it was delicious. Pricing on the menu is affordable. Staffs at the restaurant are nice and kind, so I always get warm welcome feeling whenever I eat here.

    U4. Nikutama Sauce Udon

    Got the nikutama sauce udon here. Plenty of space and parking here. The quality of the meat was in my opinion not the greatest, it was a little too chewy. The wanted to try this because I always get this at marugame udon and thought it was alright. Service is nice and the vibes are good.

    Tempura Udon (w/o Naruto (Fish Cake) Topping)
    Flora A.

    I got the tempura udon (without the naruto topping) and honestly, it hit the spot. The tempura was crisp, the udon had a mild flavor, and I ended up finishing the whole bowl. It was hot outside so I was kind of sweating by the end, but it was worth it. This spot is great for a solo meal -- you order at a self-serve kiosk, grab a number, and wait for your food. Water and condiments are off to the side, easy to grab. The parking lot looked pretty packed for a weekday, but I ended up getting a spot right in front, so no complaints there. Definitely planning to come back.

    Vince G.

    Wanted something warm when it was cold and cloudy and this place definitely was the spot. Came in on a Tuesday afternoon just before they closed and they had a good crowd inside. The interior has a nice aesthetic and you order on a kiosk and pick up your food right beside it. I ordered the niku curry udon and potato croquettes. The order took about 10 mins and it tasted absolutely amazing. I really enjoyed the hot fresh udon and the crispy croquettes. I would recommend this place and definitely will come back.

    C4. Chicken-katsu Curry Rice
    Jaeden Y.

    Decided to stop by for the mazemen that was advertised on the big banner in front of the shop...and it was okay. Got dinner to go from here and service was friendly and quick. Menu selection here is very extensive, it's hard to choose what to get! They've got a toppings bar which is always nice! I ordered the Spicy Mazemen and it was good but I've definitely had better elsewhere! I know it's not their specialty but it was decent enough. It was a pretty small portion, very flavorful and spicy. The noodles were just skinny ramen noodles, not thick chewy ones like normal mazemen. They have rice to go which I appreciated! 3/5 Overall, I'd definitely come back to try something different because a lot of their items sound delicious! I just didn't order the right thing this time around.

I've had this place bookmarked for so long and am glad we got to finally try it! We came around 6:30pm on a weekend and surprisingly only waited about 10 minutes. It's a pretty small shop but very cozy, and there's also some seating outside. It looked like there were a lot of parties waiting as we left so we definitely came at a good time. We both got the chashu miso spicy tsukemen. I never usually finish ramen because it gets monotonous, but I slurped up every single noodle in this dish. The noodles were perfectly chewy and amazing when dipped into the rich, savory broth. I liked that there were the seaweed, garlic, and chili powder toppings at our table so we could customize the taste of our broth. They were very generous with the thick cuts if chashu, which were also perfectly seasoned. I honestly still think about this meal and hope I'm able to come back soon!

But it did taste overly salted to me. It was still good, but I would have water on the side when eating. All the toppings and meat were good as well. Customer service was good. They got our order while we were waiting for our table outside and the wait was not long once we sat down. Parking is tight in this little lot since it is shared with about 5 other shops. Not sure I'll be back, but if I do, I'll get something with lighter broth.

We would drive here every other year for their delicious fried tofu appetizer and other fresh and hot items. It was a wonderful experience and a great intro to Japanese cuisine. However, the quality and control have gone down as another reviewer has mentioned. Will be our last time. 1. Food was a bit salty for both ramens bowls. They ran out of the lobster tail and the ribs bowls, which is fine on Valentine's Day. However, they also ran out of basic ingredients. Where are the 2 egg slices, and where are the other fresh garnishes (mushroom or bean sprouts). One of the saddest looking and basic ramen bowls that I've ever experienced, one level above instant ramen (just the pork and excess noodles). Speaking of pork slices, they need to be less firm and softer. They also ran out of wooden spoons. How? We ate with take-out chopsticks with no available plastic spoons. Who is running this branch? 2. Service was standard. 3. Ambiance has nicely decorated theme. However, restaurant and seating area is small and crosse crossed and lacks privacy. You can hear the next table conversation. Would not care so much if the food were excellent. Not worth the tag.

They charge you the same prices for their food as if you're eating indoors; however, the quantity they put into the containers is unforgivable. I've order the same rolls that I would get inside the restaurant with my fiancé (only 2) and it was quite numerous and we got full easily. I ordered 5 different rolls for my family to bring home to them and to treat my father especially for Father's Day weekend since he was craving it after a long week of work. I opened the containers to find like 5 pieces of a roll ordered (Salmon Love Roll) and the rest of my rolls had little quantity (half of the container was empty). I was pretty dumbfounded because how could you charge the price of a full set when my containers were barely filled with anything. You filled the rest of the containers with THE SAUCE CUPS. You can put the sauce cups on the side and put more in the actual container. Also, I had filled out that I needed utensils and napkins. I did not even get anything for that as well. In this economy atm, charging anything for those prices and giving us takeout service and quantity like this is pretty unforgivable. I've had other sushi places where I needed to save the rest for the next meal because they had given a lot, but definitely not here. I had rooted for this place when they reopened, but now I'm pretty disappointed.

I usually come here for ramen, but what makes this place work really well for us is that my girlfriend isn't a big ramen person, and their sushi and rolls are actually good too. So it ends up being one of those rare places where both of us are happy with what we order. For ramen, I've tried the Black Garlic Tonkotsu and the Spicy Kimchi Tonkotsu. Both were good, but personally, I think their spicy ramen is the stronger choice. The Spicy Kimchi Tonkotsu is perfect when I want something warm, comforting, and a little spicy. It's not overwhelmingly hot, the broth has good depth, and the toppings feel generous. My girlfriend usually gets the Yummy Tummy, which is a salmon roll, and I've stolen enough bites to say it's legitimately good. The salmon tastes fresh, the ingredients are well-balanced, and the roll is seasoned nicely without being too heavy. At first, this was just a convenient neighborhood ramen and roll spot near my girlfriend's place. But after coming back multiple times, I realized I actually crave this place. It may not look like some flashy destination restaurant, but it's a genuinely good neighborhood spot that keeps me coming back. 5 stars from me. One thing I'll add is that my girlfriend has ordered delivery from here a few times, and she says it's not nearly as good as dining in. The food tastes much better when you eat it at the restaurant, and she also feels like the portions seem smaller with delivery.
