Food was amazing. You have the option of choosing a spice level, so you have options on how much spice you can handle. I chose impact and it was delicious. It was the right amount of both flavor and heat. I have been coming for years and it never disappoints. I would recommend this place to anyone that wants to customize their ramen, in both spice and flavor. Customer service is great and place is tidy and well maintained. The table also has napkins and chopsticks, in case you may need more. read more

Today was my last full day in LA before heading back to Sacramento, so I decided to spend some time walking around Little Tokyo. I hadn't had lunch yet, and Orochon Ramen ended up being a great choice. I really liked how the menu works. You first choose your broth from miso, soy sauce, or salt, then choose your spice level from very spicy all the way down to non-spicy. I went with the miso broth at Medium Spicy, which was just right for me. The broth was rich and flavorful without being overly salty. You can also upgrade the protein with options like chashu, chicken, or Wagyu beef. I went with the Wagyu, and I'm glad I did. It was tender, flavorful, and made the ramen feel a little more special. I also ordered the spicy garlic edamame and had two Sapporo draft beers. Even with the ramen, Wagyu upgrade, edamame, and two beers, the total was still under $50 all in, which I thought was very reasonable. I was lucky to get a window seat overlooking Little Tokyo and Downtown LA, which made the meal even more enjoyable. A hot bowl of spicy miso ramen, a cold beer, and a city view was a pretty perfect way to spend part of my last day in LA. Really enjoyable meal, good value, and definitely a place I would come back to the next time I'm in Little Tokyo. read more

Prices are fair. Starting around $12-13 before you add toppings. I like that I get to customize my spice level and only get the toppings I want. Service is quick and friendly. Portions are giant! Come if you're hungry. I wish I had found Orochon years ago. It's tucked away on third floor of Weller Court. Seems like the higher you are from the ground floor, the better the deals are. read more

The food was amazing! Great spice, & great flavor. The service was good. The ambience is nice. It's right next to all the cute Tokyo stores. I was also happy that a vegetarian base available for me. we like it so much. We didn't want to leave this area wow. Also, I noticed they an A food safety grade in the window, which is good. The only thing they should work on is getting a Wi-Fi for people that are eating there. As well as fixing that one door in the bathroom they need to shave it down more and replace the door because it's really hard. You have to push it hard to lock/close it. read more

Very good ramen spot in little Tokyo close to everything! It has great variety to choose from such as miso and soy sauce ramen, even the spicy ramen if you're interested in more heat.

This is a small spot that seems popular for takeout. The appetizers were a bit smaller than expected, and the prices felt a bit high considering their portion sizes, though the main dishes were a decent size. While I was excited for the teriyaki beef with white rice, the flavor was quite mild and didn't stand out. The miso ramen with flavored egg also leaned a bit salty and felt somewhat underwhelming overall. The service was attentive, with staff regularly checking in on customers. There is outdoor seating available, though it can be a bit uncomfortable with the sun, and the tents don't fully provide shade. read more

Stopped by Orochon Ramen in Little Tokyo after the Nisei Week Japanese Festival, since they were not crowded. We really appreciated the service -- the staff was attentive, friendly, and super helpful. When a drink got knocked over, they quickly helped clean it up without any fuss or hesitation. The food itself was just okay for me. We ordered the Miso ramen, gyoza, edamame, and Kid's miso ramen. The noodles for the miso ramen were fine, but the miso broth could've been more flavorful and creamier (I prefer a creamier broth). Also, if you want cha shu and egg, you'd have to order that as an add on. What's funny is that the kid's miso ramen came WITH an egg...but, the adult version does not. Unfortunately, the gyoza wasn't very good. It's probably one of the worst gyozas I've had. It wasn't very crispy and the inside stuffing was lacking flavor. The best thing here was the kid's ramen which was pretty big for a kid size AND you didn't need to add the egg. The place has a casual, no-frills atmosphere with a bit of an old-school ramen shop feel. The space can feel a little tight, but I guess it adds to the coziness of a traditional ramen shop. The walls are decorated with photos and challenge boards from their famous spicy ramen challenge, which gives the place a fun and quirky touch. It's the kind of spot where you come more for a quick, hearty meal than a drawn-out dining experience. Overall, great people and service, but the food for me, didn't quite hit the mark. read more

I ordered the miso ramen (mild) with extra corn. Just a heads-up--this ramen does not come with an egg, so you'll need to pay extra if you want one. I liked the soup base; it was flavorful and enjoyable. However, the ramen noodles were a bit too chewy for my preference. One thing I want to mention: please check your receipt carefully. The server only gave me the total, handed me the iPad to sign, and charged my credit card. Later, I noticed an extra item on my bill that I didn't order. When I asked about it, she recognized the mistake right away and apologized--but the situation felt a bit tricky. Overall, the ramen itself was okay, but the billing experience definitely took away from it. read more

Craved a warm ramen bowl one Sunday evening so decided to go to Orochon Ramen. The place was not very busy so my party was seated very quickly. The service was so fast and they were highly accommodating to my young children. The taste and flavor of the ramen was nice, nothing extraordinary to me. We also tried the dumplings but not sure how fresh those were- most likely frozen. One thing I did not like was how sticky our table was- it made the place seem unkept and tad bit dirty to me. read more
