Food was great and fast like usual! But the waitress was kinda rude. I guess I said "thank you so much" in a way the waitress didn't like and in response she said "girl calm down I haven't even given it to you yet." I don't feel like we were complicated customers, and that was said to me as our drinks were given to us so it's not like we had even had the chance so it felt pretty uncalled for. read more

Food was good and service was great. The jalapeños bombs were delicious. I would like to come back to post a pic of my fav meal...

Itadakimasu! We have eaten at Hon Ramen several times and each time is a delight. On our first visit we tried takoyaki as an appetizer and were smitten. These are fried octopus balls with a delicate crispy shell and a creamy interior with perfectly cooked octopus. They are garnished with kewpie mayonnaise and eel sauce with delicate shaved fish dancing on top. This is the only place in town for takoyaki and it is exactly like takoyaki in Japan. This time we opted for the salmon rolls which have pillow soft steamed buns, perfectly cooked moist salmon, eel sauce, and sweet slivered carrot. They are light and delicious with an order of two making a wonderful appetizer for the both of us. My husband ordered the Bulgoji bowl with savory and tender beef atop sticky rice. It is beautifully seasoned and not spicy which I love because I can actually enjoy it. In general bulgoji is too spicy for me so this is a wonderful discovery. My choice of chicken Ramen was also a win as the broth is rich and savory and the noodles have a great firm bite. The bowl is dressed with rich and tender chicken thigh, a fish cake, broccoli, spring onion, slivered carrot, and a marinated soft boiled egg. Food and service are phenomenal...Hon Ramen is THE place to go in Bakersfield. The sushi here is also top notch and prepared by the owner. Once a year he returns to Japan to visit family so for that period sushi is not available. Everything we have ever tried here has been a feast for the eyes and the tastebuds. read more

The quality of everything we've had here is excellent. I had bulgogi today, which was super tasty, everything cooked just right. You can tell when the chef knows EXACTLY how to do everything perfectly. In the past, the noodle soup I've had was also very well done. Great broth, noodles cooked perfectly. And great service too! read more

One of my favorite ramen spots! The service is always great! I absolutely love the Spicy Tan Tan Men ramen. I also tried the vegetable egg rolls and spicy garlic edamame, and both were delicious. The restaurant is super cute and cozy, and they offer more than just ramen with sushi, wine, soju, and Asian beer on the menu. They do close briefly in the afternoon before reopening for dinner, but it's well worth the visit. I'll definitely be back! read more

Hon Ramen is a very good place! We've come here plenty of times for both business meetings and family outings, and it's always been great. You can't go wrong with the spicy tonkotsu ramen, the MGM roll, and the Rattlesnake roll. Jenny is always really nice, and the service is quick. Highly recommend! read more

I had a very fast & good experience here for lunch! I walked over here from the court (jury duty nonsense) because it was so close by. I got here right before 12 & I was seated immediately. Within 5 minutes of ordering, I received my food! My server was quick. I totally beat the lunch rush! I love the atmosphere in here. The bright colors are fun & the architecture is modern & cute. I ordered a miso soup & a regular salmon roll. The soup was a tad on the overly-onion flavored side but it was nice & hot. The roll was perfect! Literally the perfect size. Fresh salmon, the rice was EXTRA sticky. It was great. With these and a tea, it was $20 so fairly priced! I wish I was downtown more often because I'd totally come by more. I remember in the past, I'd get their ramen & it was so good. Til next time! read more

This restaurant did not disappoint. I reached around kitchen closing time and service was really quick. There were guests still dining and there was no rush to leave. The ramen bowl was great. They definitely know to make a perfect bowl of well seasoned ramen. The reviews for this restaurant speak about the quality of food. They have bar seating as well as table seating. Pricing was moderate high. Will definitely recommend this restaurant. read more

We are new to the area and were trying to get acquainted with the downtown shops one day and found ourselves right across the street and needed to stop in for lunch! We walked in and the interior was super cool so right away we were excited for the experience. We put our orders in and got our food delivered pretty fast! We definitely enjoyed ourselves - if you're in need of some good ramen, stop by! We will be back as well. read more

Violently craving ramen & decided to visit this restaurant with my son. We were greeted & sat quickly. We ordered the Yaki Pork Gyoza for an appetizer, the chicken ramen, and a crunchy shrimp roll. The gyoza came out quickly and to my pleasant surprise had excess crispy bit (so crunchy and good). Flavorful gyoza with crispy exterior and perfect spicy soy based dipping sauce. Next, the chicken ramen came quickly piping hot. My son & I shared the ramen and it was plenty! The ramen had large pieces of chicken, broccoli, noodles, etc. The broth was so flavorful! Amazing ramen! We then received the shrimp crunch roll with tiny crunchy tempura bits on the exterior and imitation crab and fried shrimp in the roll. Can't wait to come back! Service was really great! My son wanted to try different Japanese soda's and the waitress suggested great recommendations. read more

Good food! Fast service. Ambiance was nice restaurant is clean. Would recommend the hon roll and the portions are large.

Our favorite ramen spot! Servers are friendly and helpful (Jenny/Richard). Service is super fast, we got our food less than 5 minutes after ordering. Our favorites are the pork ramen and the spicy vegetable ramen. Serving portions are huge, we always have some left over to take home. Nice date spot with a good vibe, good music, drinks, and most importantly bomb ramen! read more

What better to order than Hot Ramen Soup on a rainy chilly evening. We decided to use Door Dash which honestly we should've went and picked it up. The door dash price was a little high. The food however was delivered hot and delicious! I had enough to take for lunch the next day too. The spicy tonkotsu ramen was super delicious!!! Was that spicy though. Had to add more at home which honestly I prefer. read more

For Bakersfield it's a great ramen spot, just it came with a little more for the cost.

If you've never had Ramen this is the place to have it!! Food and service were great!! I highly recommend!! I will be returning.

I had been meaning to try this place for a year. I was finally able to this past week while catching up with a friend :) I am sort of a Ramen snob, and have my one select restaurant in town, but after this visit, I can definitely say this place beats out the rest! It is sooo good! My only issue with the place is the pricing for the spicy sauce and additional toppings. The hon ramen has limited toppings in comparison to other ramen spots. But it's still worth a try if you're in the area. read more

Came because it had the best ramen reviews for Bakersfield. It did not disappoint. I got the spicy tonkotsu with a lot of add ons: Tantan pork, garlic, tofu, kimchi. Tho if you're expecting a lot of heat, this isn't it. It had a very small kick of spice. The gyozas were alright. The presentation was super pleasing. The sauce didn't really do it for me but the texture of the qyozas were good. Green tea ice cream didn't have a lot of green tea flavor but was still good. I loved the little umbrella! I thoroughly enjoyed this ramen! A big thank you to Ritchie who helped me figure out what I wanted. You were super helpful and funny. Thanks for making my first experience a good one. As I left, the staff shouted "see you tomorrow" and I laughed the whole way back to my car. I WILL be back... but not tomorrow haha. read more

I've been coming to this restaurant for many years, and whenever I'm craving this type of food, it usually always hits the spot. However, during my last visit, I noticed something that didn't sit right with me, and I just wanted to make others aware. The restaurant automatically adds an 18% gratuity for parties of five or more, including small children in the party count. While I understand restaurants have policies, what bothered me was that it wasn't verbally mentioned or clearly pointed out during our visit, which makes it very easy to overlook. If you pay by card, the receipt they bring you already includes the gratuity in the total. However, the signature slip still suggests additional tip amounts at the bottom, which can easily lead people to accidentally double tip without realizing it. I'm sharing this simply so people can pay attention before signing. In today's economy, every extra dollar matters for families dining out. And while some people may say, "If you can't afford to tip, don't eat out," the reality is that restaurants rely on customers to stay in business too. Transparency goes a long way, and I think customers should be clearly informed when gratuity has already been included. read more

This review is based on a to-go order. I phoned in a to-go order, the staff were so friendly over the phone. My order was made promptly and packaged super well for the drive home. The ramen was packaged separately to keep all items fresh and warm! The food was just as delicious as if it were being served in restaurant. Their hon ramen is ALWAYS a must!! read more

Great service !! Food is so delicious and comes out fast. The vibe is super cute too !!

Stopped by Hon Ramen on a Wednesday evening. It wasn't very busy and I was seated right away. The servers took my drink and food order quickly, though the process felt a bit rushed. I ordered hot water, karaage, and the spicy garlic miso ramen. The food came out fast (about 7-8 minutes). The karaage chicken was good, but the ramen itself didn't stand out as much as I expected. After the food was dropped off, no one checked back on the table. My hot water was never refilled and I wasn't asked if I needed anything else. The check was brought toward the end, and the only time I was asked how the food was came after I had already finished and paid. Overall, not a bad experience, but both the service and ramen could improve. Rating: 6.8/10 read more

Came with a group of friends because we were feeling like having Ramen. This place definitely gets busy so you might have to wait for a table to open up. I would describe the vibe as pretty trendy. We had some ambient light, some EDM playlist was on, so I'd say it's fun with a group of friends. Seen some people on dates there too, just like casual. Servers were very nice and personable, but I think for how busy it gets, they are a bit short on staff! My waiter was really great and even made me a makeshift chopstick helper when I asked for a fork which is fun. Cool trick. They have a good variety on the menu. My friends ordered some spicy edamame for the table. I have a low spice tolerance so I didn't eat it, but I got some Karaage and it was awesome. It was super crispy and the sauce that comes with it is delicious. I'd go back just for that. The ramen was also really good. I got the veggie ramen. Tasty broth and good noodles. I do wish there was more tofu in it. You get like one square on the top and that's your slab of tofu. I'd like some more cut into it too, personally. My friend got the spicy veggie ramen and I think the overall consensus for the people who got spicy ramen is that they'd like theirs to be a bit spicier, so they got some more sauce--sriracha and chili oil both to make it a bit spicier. So if you like spicy, try that. I don't, so I was happy with what I got. This is a place I would come back to, for sure. It's pretty cute and the food's solid. read more

Didn't get to try their food. We were seated as soon as we got there but no one asked us for water or anything for 20mins. Tried to get the waitresses' attention to order but they didn't event want to look at our direction. They didn't pay attention to us at all so we got up and left. I was looking forward to finally trying this place out but got treated this way. Oh well! Maybe next time or maybe never. read more
