Inexpensive, fast service, clean & bright facility, and has indoor and outdoor seating. Not a fancy place, think of fast food, sit-down Japanese food, in a strip mall with plenty of parking. Meets your craving for fast food. Typical college town fare - ramen and curry rice. Fried squid, Takoyaki (Fried Balls of Octopus and other things) also available as appetizers. All items appeared to be pre-made (bags of frozen ingredients) and bought in volume with the final prep (frying, boiling, etc) done on site. Small shop, so don't expect home-made stuff. I liked the Tonkatsu Black Ramen which comes with one piece of Chasu, half a runny egg, seaweed, ramen, bean sprouts, ramen, in a soy based soup. Wife had the Curry Combo - two shrimp tempura, pork Tonkatsu, potato croquette with curry and white rice. Conclusion: Go here if you're in a hurry and have a craving for Japanese fast-food. Fast service, clean & bright, lots of parking read more

I live an hour away but anytime I'm in the area I make it a point to come here! Since living in Japan I've been on the hunt for good Raman and their Tonkatsu Miso ramen is my absolute favorite! I also love their curry although it's a little spicy (by my taste). I love supporting this restaurant and recommend it to everyone! read more

Outstanding ramen. I ordered the Tonkotsu black ramen. So good, not overly creamy and noodles were perfectly cooked. The kikurage absorbs the fine flavor of the broth. Looking forward to visiting again. Normally I would try another ramen but this one was so good, I'll order again but with some sides next time. Service was prompt and friendly. Clean, modern, small restaurant. read more

We go here several times a month. Portions getting smaller, but food still good. Better to raise prices and keep Same portion size. Spicy tonkatsu ramen. read more

What you always want to know right off is: is the broth good? It's FANTASTIC! The regular and spicy miso were perfect for today's gloomy weather. They have REAL wood ear mushrooms and tasty seaweed (as well as corn, green onion, sprouts) to spruce up your bowl. I'm definitely coming back here! read more

J San Ramen is truly Amazing with just two staff working this little restaurant in Fullerton plaza by the Sprouts supermarket and health care clinics and Bank. Daniel and Chef are both Amazing working hard to get everyone order done right the first time around. The Black Tonkutsu Ramen is really full of intense flavor and Umami richness found in this well balanced and delicious broth. The Fried squids and baby octopus was so crispy and cooked just right. An appetizer starters delicious delight and goes great with any alcoholic drink or hot tea. Be sure to ask for your favorite secret dipping sauce with added hotness or garlic. The garlic endame was very good and hot. The Chicken Ramen noodles was flavorful with just the perfect sweetness and depth. Great job guys. Just enough room for 20 customers in here but the Amazing service and food will definitely bring you back to try all of their favorite dishes here in Fullerton. Have a wonderful Memorial day weekend my friends. God bless you and come here whenever you are available for lunch or dinner. read more

I love their baked oysters. I don't often see such a delicacy at other ramen spots but this would be my definite go to for now. The staff were kind and generous.

J San Ramen - SHEEESSSH SPICY MISO ( check my first review for what I ordered. ) - Ramen Near Me - Fullerton, California

Stopped in for a quick bite in the afternoon before a movie on a cold day and was pleasantly surprised by this little ramen spot. Not a lot in turn of "ambiance", but it is very clean and inviting. We were immediately sat by the staff and put in a booth. Again nothing too fancy but that's not the point, it was comfy enough to enjoy a nice meal. She quickly took our order and in a short amount t of the time the food was coming out. It was very tasty! My only let down from the meal was the drinks weren't fountain AND it's a Pepsi establishment. Yes yes I know personal preference but still... Other than that this is definitely a place I would recommend to a friend or stop by again! read more

So good the spicy miso was really yummy I am not going to lie! Didn't take a pic of the before but look at the after pic it explains the taste!! read more

One of the best ramen spots in the OC, my go to when I want a well flavored spicy ramen.

Quick service and a chill environment with great food! Very good ramen, broth was well flavored and the chicken karaage was crispy and fresh! Highly recommend. read more

Ramen and katsu are relatively affordable price. Katsu is good. But nothing special about it. I would rather stay home to cook Korean ramen at $1 read more

Excellent food. Slightly overpriced but delicious!! Will definitely come back. I found this place cause it's close to the yoga place we have been going to. So happy we did. It's perfect. Ordered the Vegan Ramen from there -- it came with the mushroom broth with amazing flavor. read more

Ordered a curry bowl to go, phone etiquette was about as lack luster as the bowl. I asked what was in the bowl and was told pork and veggies. I was expecting some veggie and pork chunks. Instead I received what was pictured. Curry sauce and rice, meat was minimal and the only "veggies" I could see were small hints of orange carrot. Flavor was not bad but that's not saying much when curry powder mix is readily available to everyone. Bowl was cheap but it would honestly be better for them to charge more and serve some curry with substance. For simple curry sauce and rice what they are charging is absurd. read more

J San Ramen - Curry Bowl - Ramen Near Me - Fullerton, California

I have been eyeing this place every time I go to this plaza for my kid's orthodontist appointment. And I finally ordered the tonkotsu black ramen as a take out. I usually am weary of ordering ramen as takeouts as it will inevtably not taste the same as being served in the restaurant. And I'll factor that in this review. I did take the time to heat up the broth piping hot and serve it right away. The broth is very bland, and it tasted flat, yet oily. For a tonkotsu, it certainly lacked the hearty bone broth, and had no umami. And why is it so oily... is it to mask the flavor-lacking broth? As a ramen shop with so many high praises, this is a disappointment, even factoring in the take-out variable. It certainly a couple of grades lower than the takeout ramen bowl that the nearby grocery store, Tokyo Central, sells... and that is a big disappointment read more

The place deserves a 5 star. This place is amazing got the miso ramen and it was one of the best ramen bowls I've ever ate. 10/10. The service is great too. Also I f with the ambiance. It feels like I'm in an anime. read more

It was our first time here. It's kinda like those hidden gems. Our food came out fresh and hot. The spicy Garlic Edamame was spicy and flavorful. The ramen was delicious and full of flavor. It's all in the broth. The pork chasu was cooked perfectly as it melts in your mouth. The portion is good for what we paid. We will be coming back again to try the curry and other dishes. The service was also great! read more

Great place, found for late dinner run! Small establishment: mainly booths to fill up the corner building, so I felt bad being a single but most of the tables were full. Went around 7pm and got busy, so must be popular. Ramen and appetizer was excellent, planning to come back and try more on the menu. Super stoked to have a melon soda, my favorite! read more

The Spicy Miso Ramen is my go to. I definitely recommend this place. I was amazed by the flavor especially when you throw that chili oil in your soup. I love supporting small businesses like this. If you by the area you have to give it a try. 100% read more

i would've rate 0 star! i wanted to try this new place. Service was below expectations, no communication just order the food. Ramen was okay not great where i can say Wow. When i paid they charged a service charge on top of the tax. I tip above 10% since there's a service charge and as i was walking out. He yelled mother fucker, mother fucker twice! i asked him what did you say, he denied it. I told him i heard what you said , be a man and say it to my face. read more

This spot has plenty of parking. The seating inside is not too bad. There is booth tables as well as small tables outside. The servers are nice and friendly. I tried the shoyu ramen and it is really good flavor. The most flavor I get is from the meat. It is not overly salty like other places. It's nice and tender not hard. The noodles are cooked to perfection and the toppings are fresh. The hard boil egg is a must in early ramen you eat. Overall I highly recommend this place if you are in the Fullerton area looking for ramen or after you shop. read more

This place definitely saves me each time I'm craving ramen. I've only picked up food from this location but even then their customer service has been solid. Their sushi rolls are not bad but their ramen is what's kept me going back. read more

Outstanding food and calming ambiance. We really enjoyed this place and will be back. The 2 workers are very respectful and nice.

Average ramen. Chashu is a bit thin and lacks the slight firmness. If you like it super buttery, then it should be okay. The kara age was a bit chunky and not as crunchy as I wouldve wanted. They serve it with a sauce as the chicken itself is not very seasoned. read more

Got their Shoyu ramen delivered on my way home from Disney and it was delicious! Lots of flavor and all the ingredients were incredibly fresh. All their ingredients were separated as to not get soggy, which is always appreciated especially because it arrived earlier than me. Would definitely come back here if I'm in the area again. read more
