This is one of my kids' favorite restaurants. If you ask them where they want to eat, "noodooos!" is usually the answer. My two-year-old has been using chopsticks since she was barely one year old. We never taught her. She just grabbed them one day and started eating like she'd been training her whole life. Our family joke is that she must've been Asian in a previous life. We almost never eat inside, but that's less about the restaurant and more about... well... read my other reviews about dining out with my tiny tornadoes. We usually take it home where the noodle explosion is easier to contain. The food is always fresh, flavorful, and consistently good. We come here so often that we're constantly filling up our loyalty cards. That's about the best endorsement I can give. Great food, friendly service, and a family favorite that keeps us coming back... again and again. read more

I'm happy to give 5 stars where it is deserved. I was craving soup for lunch and found this delicious hidden gem. I thought they were new but found to be here for 3 years! Sad I didn't come sooner. They are kind and attentive and answer any questions. The food is delicious and I'm sorry I didn't take a picture of my food I was enjoying myself that much lol The ambiance is super lowkey, chill vibe! Def will return read more

Came by for a quick bite. There is a small parking lot available. The restaurant is a little hidden. It is small with a few tables inside. It is self serve ordered, meaning there is a QR code that you scan with your phone and place the order via your phone. I ordered Tonkotsu Ramen and pan fried dumplings. The ramen is decent, but I do not like the dumplings. The dumplings were a bit soggy, and I probably will not order it again. Price is reasonable. Nothing stand out from this place, but it is also not bad. read more

I have had zero luck finding good ramen in the area so I was pleasantly surprised how good the tonkotsu ramen here tasted. The broth and char siu are really tasty. I liked the fact that they let me choose how spicy I wanted the ramen to be. I also enjoyed the chicken karage. It was crispy and tender, just the way it's supposed to be. My only gripe (and I may sound nit picky here) is that the sodas didn't taste good. My Dr. Pepper hardly had any carbonation in it while my wife's Coke tasted watered down. The fountain drink machine needs to be better maintained. Other than that, I enjoyed my experience here. read more

Came here to meet a friend and right when i walked in, I knew I found a fantastic place! Being hit with your favorite anime as soon as you walk in makes the experience that much better in my opinion! The food, the service and the atmosphere were a great match as well! Mins you I came here two times in 1 week lol. The first time I tried the Luffy bowl! Amazing and then the next I tried the Black Garlic bowl. Both bowls were great and more than I expected! A side of Chicken Karrage made it that much sweeter! The staff was amazing and I will be back with friends! read more

Clean, fast, and nicely decorated ramen shop in Inglewood! Came here for a quick dinner and was impressed by the concise menu and quick service. I ordered the black garlic ramen and it came out hot, with a good balance of noodle, soup, and chashu. You can order at the counter or via QR code. There's a small parking lot shared with a laundromat, but not too crowded, even in the evenings. Opens late, which is especially appreciated when your flight is late landing. I would recommend, especially if you're a One Piece fan! read more

I got super sick after eating there. I had to go to the bathroom every hour. I ordered some bone broth ramen. The ramen was super soggy, broth is like instant noodles' soup powder, really bad experience, the server didnt seem to be happy to be there either lol read more

We decided to try a new spot, new spots can definitely be a hit or miss. But this one..definitely a HIT. I loved the flavor it was so good better than a lot of main stream places I've tried. I got the shoyu ramen spicy level 1 it has a kick. If you don't like spice at all don't do any. If you can take the heat go higher. The place is small inside but cute. The staff were very friendly. I'm definitely going back. Might be there new usual. read more

Mennoya Noodle House - Shoyu Ramen - Ramen Near Me - Hawthorne, California

I'm into the place. Cute Anime vibe inside. Simple menu. Ramen was good. The veggie tempura was not the best, too many zucchini and the fry isn't quite right but we'll be back for noodles and they had a fried squid that looked yummy, so we'll try that next time. read more

Surprising hidden gem! This is one of the best ramen spots around. Fresh ingredients and soup is always rich. The noodles are the perfect texture. There's plenty of seating and the chef cooks up your ramen quickly. Parking is available but quite tight. The restaurant is small but very clean and well kept. Highly recommend' read more

I always order Tonkatsu when it comes to ramen spots. This place is new and local. We ordered our food to go, so it's really hard to say what the experience there would be like. I definitely want to go back and eat at the restaurant, but overall it was good. I can't wait to see how well they do :). read more

I'd rate this space a 3.5. When you walk in you are told to order thru the QR code instead of at the register. The wait for the food was longer than expected for two ramen dishes and edamame. Food was good when it finally came out. Staff was nice but felt very distant which was a little off putting. read more

Mennoya Noodle House is a pleasant discovery in Hawthorne, in an area with few other ramen restaurant choices. Every ramen I've had was very good, with great broths, noodles, and toppings. The restaurant has an anime theme, and it's fun to look at all the anime images on the walls. The pork has always been excellent. The seafood ramens use seafood, but I was disappointed that the 'crab' was just a crab substitute. You can add more spice to the ramen on a scale form one to four. With level one, I barely notice the spice. Two, adds a comfortable level of spice. Three and four, are definitely spicier but not levels I bothered to try more than once. I've previously observed that there are almost no bad ramen restaurants, unlike other food groups like hamburgers or Mexican food. Mennoya Noodle House is not an exception. All the ramen soups are excellent and deserve a 5/5 rating. However, while very good, the sides slip a bit in quality and I would give them a 4/5 rating. Mennoya has a customer loyalty card where you can get a free ramen after ten visits, a tremendous marketing gimmick to get people to visit the restaurant multiple times. read more

Love this cute hole in the wall! Neighborhood ramen with the cutest and most tasteful interior and even tastier food. The ramen is delicious. It's good ramen, seriously. You're just gonna love sitting inside with a loved one while you listen to some kickin' j-pop. Additionally the staff are so kind. Even though you hardly interact with them given the QR code menu style, you still can't help but get all gleeful from your small but endearing interactions. Come here one evening with a loved one and soak it all in. read more

Second time is a charm! I had planned to check out Mennoya Noodle House a few weeks ago and came during their opening time at 11:30 but the restaurant looked closed. I called a few times till I ended up leaving. Interestingly enough got call back past noon. Fast forward 2 weeks later; I was in the area and finally got to check out Mennoya Noodle House. (Note I did come a little later just to make sure it's open ;)). Walking in; the first thing I noticed is that Mennoya Noodle House is cutely decorated. They have a ton of different anime posters as well as Sanrio stickers and drawings. The music playing inside is also Anime themed. The decor definitely gives this place a fun vibe. Aside from being supercute inside; Mennoya Noodle House has lots of different ramens and appetizers on their menu. Their chicken karaage even comes with your choice of dipping sauce. I got their Black Garlic Ramen as well as their Chicken Karaage. The Chicken Karaage was the perfect pair for my Black Garlic Ramen. The chicken was tender and the coating was crisp. I also enjoyed it with the ranch dipping sauce. As for my Black Garlic Ramen; I thought that it could have used more garlic flavoring. I didn't quite get the garlic taste. I did enjoy that ramen had sprinkles of fried onion and lots of noodle. I wishthe flavors of garlic were more abundant. This place is cute and overall ok. read more

Food Now, I love ramen and have had ramen in multiple ramen places. I got the black garlic ramen and thought it was pretty good. It was a bit on the saltier side for me which I didn't really mind too much as the taste was really good. The black garlic with the fatty broth was just a nice flavor overall. The portion of the ramen was just right for me. You also get an option of 1-5 level spicy and I got a 3 and I thought it was just the right spice level for me. Service/Ambiance Outside, the place is very unassuming but once you enter, you are hit with this anime vibe and more predominantly one piece, dragon ball and naruto and as a fan, I was immediately excited. The staff were nice and we got seated right away. The only minus for me was that the ramen took a while to get served compared to those in other ramen places. read more

I'm updating their rating to 5 stars because I tried their seafood udon noodle soup for the first time today and it was so delicious. The broth was light, but very flavorful. The shrimp, squid, fish cake and scallops were good. The crab is imitation crab, but I didn't mind since I like imitation crab. I got level 2 spice which was perfect for my taste buds. read more

There's nothing authentic about the place...I believe they're Chinese and not Japanese, so some dishes won't be as expected. All gimmicky with the anime, so will probably attract kids asking parents to come here. You order through a QR code and pay at the cash register when you're done. Appetizers came out at the same time as the ramen, so the chicken karaage was lukewarm and gyoza was soggy. Had to go to the register to ask for drinks to even get those before the rest of the order came out. Tried out the place since it was new and had good ratings, but thoroughly confused how they got good ratings, so just putting out my honest review. read more

Went for the first time with my mom and my sister after a long day and this place was the highlight of my day. We ordered the Pan Fried Pork Dumplings, Beef Udon Noodle Soup, the Black Garlic Ramen, and the Tonkotsu Ramen. Every dish was packed with so much flavor, it was honestly the best ramen I've ever had. It's small, perfect for introverts and anime lovers. The decor is filled with naruto and one piece which adds a cozy, friendly environment. The workers are nice and greet everyone as they come in. Once you walk in, you can sit down wherever you like, scan the QR code at the table and order. They will bring the food to your table. Definitely will be coming back! 10/10 recommend. read more

We have gone so many times, have gotten our parents some as well, and it's our go to. The best!!! Must try!!! Plus you get a card with one free ramen once you have boughten 10. We even got one for our neighbor, and they loved it. They have so many great combos and build your own. read more

Ngl, I come here a lot. The tonkotsu ramen and the beef udon are my go to. For appetizers, I recommend the original edamame, pan fried pork dumplings, and the chicken karaage. It's my favorite ramen spot. The food is quality. Customer service is excellent. They have cool anime posters and music. Sometimes they have mystery prizes or cute little snacks on the side that you can purchase for a few bucks. Highly recommend this spot. read more

Found this place with my son. We were in the mood for ramen with the weather being cold. We literally live down the street. Walked in was greeted right away. Menu is detailed prices are good. They accept all payments. Offer delivery services with all major business. Inside is cute lots of Anime posters and pictures put around the walls. Tables are spread out and they have one long bar with chairs to accommodate more space. We got the shoyu ramen and chicken potstickers with tai tea w/boba. Bowl was huge we got level 2 and level 3 spice my son said it was just enough to make him go down to 2 food was good and hit the spot. Service was great as well.

Casual anime-themed ramen spot. Came here for a quick lunch and ordered the garlic ramen. It comes with two pieces of chashu and half an egg. There's a lot of broth provided and you can customize the spice level. I opted for a level three spice and I think a four may have been a better call. Note that if you check in on Yelp, you can get a free soft drink (fountain drinks only). Dine in and takeout available. Free parking available in the front. If you eat in, you pay at the counter first and then sit down. Credit cards accepted. read more

Delish!!! Really good ramen hidden in the corner of a plaza. Walking in the place was colorful and decorated with anime art everywhere.

The service was amazing, the lady explained that we order through a QR code through our phone, and can always add orders if you want more. Paying out was just at the front and easy. The food got out fast and was delish! We kept eating even though we got full since it was that good. Would come again! :) read more
