    Salmon Sampler
    Neal T.

    I feel like the sushi keeps getting better here, we try other spots like I Luv Sushi or when traveling and when we come back here it's like wow this is really good. The presentation is great too. Plenty of parking, a great happy hour 3-7 and lots of other options for people who don't like sushi. Their mango sticky rice when available is also amazing. Service is always quick and pleasant. If you're looking for uncrowded and unpretentious sushi that tastes like it should be pretentious, this is the place. Had the salmon sampler and some unagi both were delicious.

    My husband and I went to around Long Beach, looking for a hidden gem in Signal Hills. One block of the place, we found this restaurant. They have tables outside. The restaurant is really cool inside, we stayed out because our dog with us. The service is very friendly, fast, and food is great! They have Thai and Japanese plates. Good deals in the menu. They have parking lot, because it is hard to park around.

    The food is very tasty, went at happy hour so tried their small ramen options and rolls, unique Thai soup base flavor and very interesting touch, a fusion of Japanese and Thai :) Service is decently on point and reasonable fast, can bring some sauces before hand to accelerate the process also but overall very attentive! Ambiance is like a normal diner with some cute Asian design and paintings, pretty relaxing and good to have conversations, some restaurants are too nosy to chat, this place offers a good place to social while having some unique and tasty food!

    Tom Kha Ramen
    Gladys Y.

    Decided to give this place a try as it was a Japanese Thai fusion. It wasn't busy at the time of arrival so service was speedy and the staff were attentive and friendly. The place is big that is great for large parties and it was festive just in time for the holidays. I had the Tom Kha ramen and the King of Kings roll during happy hour. The ramen was average nothing really stood out in the dish, but the King of Kings roll was full of flavor. If you're looking to try something new, give this place a try.

    My Husband And I First Time Here. We Ordered The Red Curry With Rice, Dragon Roll, King Of King, Tuna, Salmon, Mackerel & Yellowtail Nigiri. Everything Was Edible But Didn't Give Me That Satisfaction I Was Craving For. Service Was Great But She Did Forget One Of My Order Which Was The Sashimi Mix, But It Was Ok I Just Asked Her To Canceled It From The Check. Would I Eat Here Again, No But It's Great For People Who's Exploring Sushi For The First Time.

    Spicy Miso Ramen
    Dalis M.

    I'be been coming here many times, and ever since I tried the miso ramen it's been my absolute favorite. The flavor is the best ever rich, comforting, and so delicious. This place never disappoints!

    Coconut milk ramen
    Leslie Y.

    I allowed myself to get carried away by all the enthusiastic reviews, so I arrived with high expectations. I eagerly anticipated the Thai ramen to blow me away, but I stayed put. What's equally unexpected was how good the sweet mango rice was. I am glad that my son ordered that dessert for us to share. The ramen wasn't bad, but I expected more from the broth. It's easy to get ramen at many places in Long Beach, but ramen with a Thai twist was certainly novel. I was hoping for more exotic spices, and it came up more mundane. I also expected more customers on a Sunday evening, but the relatively large indoor dining area only had a few tables occupied. I think the post-pandemic surge in restaurant dining has significantly ebbed. Service was both attentive and efficient. We placed our orders right away, and we didn't have to wait long for our food. There was plenty of parking in their private lot, but making a left turn going westbound from PCH could get a bit tricky.

    Crunchy Roll
    Norma S.

    Came here on a Saturday around 3:30pm to pick up from mobile order. Parking lot available. No wait to get my food. Plenty of space to sit and service was quick and friendly! Ordered the wonton soup it was tasty broth had flavor and shrimp were big. Also got the crunch roll it was filling and tasted fresh. Thai tea was on the sweeter side but good. Overall, would come again to try other thing on the menu!

    Tom Kha Ramen

    My friends and I stumbled upon this place while looking for a restaurant to grab some ramen for late lunch. Shin was amazing! I highly recommend their Tom Kha ramen and their sushi. We have since gone several times, and every time (including late at night) our server was also very accommodating.

    Tom Yum Ramen
    Isaiah C.

    Tom yum ramen was so good!!! Perfect blend of Japanese and Thai flavors. Quick and friendly service too. I will be back to try the Tom kha!!

    I've been going to Shin before they became Shin. It was my go to sushi spot 10 years ago and so happy I got to experience it with my son who has been curious about this place. The restaurant is an establishment on its own with their own parking lot. It's not in a plaza shared with other businesses which I can appreciate because I don't come across many restaurants like this. There's plenty of seatings outdoor and indoor. Their restroom needs a little TLC. I love that they offer Happy Hour 3p-7p. My son and I ordered the cheese wontons which was completely different than what I was expecting which was the cream cheese wontons. These wontons were made with actual cheese and tempura. We ordered the 3 roll $35 combo and ordered crunchy, super cal and king of kings - we were pleased with all. We got the pleasure of being served by Tammy who I recognized from years ago. She offers great customer service, very accommodating.

    Chicken Katsu Don Bowl

    Had a great experience at Shin Restaurant. The service was friendly, the restaurant was clean, and the food did not disappoint. We ordered the chicken katsu don bowl and Tom Kha ramen, both full of flavor. But the real surprise was the yellowtail hand roll--fresh, delicious, and sneaky good! Easily one of the best I've had in Long Beach, and this place can hold its own against any local sushi spot. Highly recommend checking it out!

    Eskimo Poke
    Chelsea C.

    This place is highly underrated because they produce very good sushi. Its in no way authentic to Japan, but its the type of sushi you want when you need your fix. Our poke bowl was complete with a generous portion of thick cubes of fish. Its felt simple, its no frills, and the interior has a wooden rustic charm.

But I had heard so many great things about HiroNori that I wanted to try it anyways. My brother especially kept hyping them up, and he LOVES ramen. And I'm glad I decided to try them out! While HiroNori is a SoCal chain, it still feels like a mom and pop restaurant. The crispy rice with tuna was EXCELLENT! Everything you want from crispy rice and spicy tuna. The tonkatsu was delicious! Great depth of flavor. They bring you garlic and spicy paste on the side. I had to add A LOT of spicy paste to get it up to the level I wanted, but while at other restaurants I've lost the broth flavor when adding too much spice, the spicy paste just enhanced the tonkatsu broth. And the pork in the tonkatsu - truly next level. This is probably the best pork I've ever had in a ramen dish. The noodles were also fantastic with the perfect amount of bite. I loved my jammy egg as well. The restaurant itself is smaller, with fun lighting. There is a parking lot which is great. They do not have tipping, instead they have a service charge of a little over 17%. Definitely worth it!

The crispy rice with spicy tuna is perfection-- you get the bottom bed of crisp with fresh avocados, spicy tuna, and a kick of jalapeño. They also provide watermelon infused water, which was perfect for a warm day out. Although this restaurant is quite small, service was fast and very accommodating. I have been here several times and service plus quality of the food never changes! Seats here don't have any back support but it adds to the modern aesthetic and vibe of the restaurant. I've been eyeing the cucumber crab salad, so I look forward to coming back and trying it next time.

The vibe is clean, trendy, and a bit upscale compared to your typical ramen shop, but still casual enough for a quick meal. The highlight here is definitely the build-your-own ramen concept. You get to choose your broth, noodle type, spice level, and toppings, which makes it easy to dial in exactly what you're craving. The broths are rich and flavorful--especially the tonkotsu-style base, which is creamy without feeling too heavy or greasy. The noodles have a nice chew, and they don't get soggy quickly, which is a big plus if you're someone who takes your time with your bowl. Chashu is tender and well-seasoned, and the soft-boiled egg is consistently done right with that jammy center. What stands out most is the consistency + customization combo. It's not trying to be the most traditional ramen in OC, but it's very dependable and lets you build something that fits your taste every time. The spicy options also actually bring heat, not just flavor. Service is quick and efficient, and the place is usually busy but turns tables fast. Overall, Guramen is a strong go-to in Irvine if you want ramen that's customizable, flavorful, and reliable--more modern ramen bar than old-school ramen shop, but it does that style well.

I remember coming here last time but I could only remember the octopus balls so I gave it a second chance and wow did I immediately remember why I don't come here.

First like several tables were sat and ordered and our server didn't come to our table. Second we order waters and a beer. Then ordered the fries and the ramen. Tell me why the waters came last. Like I had to ask for them again. Next we got our ramen and it came with a regular tablespoon. Which I didn't want to make a huge deal out of, but honestly that spoon is only given upon request so to get it out right is weird, especially at a ramen restaurant. I noticed every table around us automatically got the renge. I had to ask for the renge. On top of that I had to ask a random server cause our visited our table once to deliver the water and that it's. We had to ask for our check and for a box and for the renge. Quite ridiculous enough for me to complain about it in a review. Literally go somewhere else it's not worth the 70$ when it tastes like water.
