    This tiny ramen shop was such a wonderful experience. I tried it for the first time today and was…read moresurprised by how close together every thing was in the dining area. I felt welcomed by the cool tones of the interior design and layout actually. We waited by the door as a party of two. Not too long after we entered were we greeted by the hosted and seated outdoors, as we requested. Even though it is on fourth street which has plenty of street traffic, it was still a quiet, comfortable dining experience. Every thing on the menu looked and sounded amazing but I planned to try the ramen because I've been craving a good bowl of ramen for a while. I landed on the shoyu ramen with tofu. I really enjoyed the taste of the broth. The flavor and seasoning was soul-healing. I don't usually go with plain chicken broth in ramen but I felt confident in my choice. I was literally happy dancing with each bite. The ramen was so good! My partner went with a spicy order of tonkotsu ramen with chicken, garlic, and black oil sauce. I tried parts of it and it was also delicious! I wanted to try the sushi but did not have that big of an appetite for both sushi and ramen so I opted for the salmon poke tacos. They tasted very savory and the salmon was flavored really well. The temperature and consistency was not too overwhelming for the tacos shell. The service was attentive and not too invasive. We took the check to the counter to pay. I am excited for our next trip here. It is dangerously walking distance for us! PS they have a sign that says they are hiring a dishwasher for Saturday and Sunday!

    Extremely disappointing experience from the moment we walked in. We were not greeted, and the woman…read moreat the front immediately had a visibly annoyed/disgusted expression and rudely told us there were no seats and that we needed to sit outside. She then said we could wait for an inside table and walked away, so we stayed inside to let her know we would prefer to wait indoors because it was extremely hot outside. When she came back, she asked if we were sitting outside, and when we said we were going to wait for an inside table, she rudely responded, "Then wait outside," and walked away. We hadn't even been seated or ordered yet, and we were already being treated so disrespectfully. We understand that restaurants can be busy, but there is no reason to speak to customers or treat them this way. The way we were treated right when we walked in says a lot about the customer service and overall atmosphere of the establishment. Definitely not the welcoming experience we expected.

    This was one of the best ramen spots we tried during our Long Beach trip…read more The tonkotsu ramen had a rich, creamy broth that wasn't overly salty, and the noodles had a great texture. The chashu was tender and flavorful, and every bite felt well balanced. The pork rice bowl was just as good and is worth ordering if you're hungry. The restaurant is clean, modern, and has a relaxed atmosphere. Service was friendly, and the food came out quickly even though the place was busy. It isn't the cheapest bowl of ramen, but the quality makes it worth it. If you're looking for good ramen in Long Beach, HiroNori is an easy recommendation.

    Went to this place for dinner, 5pmsh. Heard so many good things about this place. Greeted and…read moreseated to our table. Room temperature was a bit warm, ac was not kicking in. It was 90 degrees outside, hoping that inside would be in the 70s which was not the case. Made our stay uncomfortable. Regardless, ordered 2 Ramen bowls, pork and chicken flavor. Also ordered a pork bun. Watermelon cucumber flavor water was served as complimentary. Was refreshing! 15 mins later we received our soups and pork bun. All tasted very good! No complaints toward the quality of food being served. I asked our waitress if this restaurant still had a Michellin star rating? Her response, I dont know and I think so. I asked her to check with her manager, she came back 5 minutes later and stated her Manager does not know the answer as well. I find that quite odd Hmmmm .. Overall the food quality is great. The negative things on my visit are. 1. It was warm inside the restaurant which made it uncomfortable. 2. Only one small restroom 3. Prices are a tad on the expensive side. $19 to $20 a bowl. 4. I believe management was not being honest regarding my question about being a Michellin Star rated restaurant. How are you in management and dont know the status of your own restaurant? Honesty is the best policy. Good thing, food was good and everyone was friendly. Overall, i would come back because the food is good and the place does not get crowded.

We came in for their Sura Summer Specials and wanted to try their cold noodles. Their Hey Brother sandwich collaboration of egg sandwiches and fishbowl drinks sounded both amazing. I want to go back and try these before they leave their menu. My girlfriend enjoyed the Cold noodles and I got their Bulgogi Bibimbap. The crispy rice on the bottom of the stone bowl mixed with the veggies and bulgogi tasted so good. It was the perfect sized meal and I would totally get this again. Will update my review once I come back to get KBBQ on their outside patio.

They have a beautiful patio area with a fire pit and plenty of inside seating too. From appetizers like karaage, salad and edamame to rice bowls and mini tacos, they have it all! Kaarage had big pieces and enough for two people to share. I enjoyed this more than the ramen personally becuse it filled me up. I got their Jinya chicken ramen which is super light and simple. The portion is a little too small for me, it left me hungry and wanting to get an appetizer! Price felt too high for how much food I was getting. Parking here is easy in the 2nd & PCH lot, with two hours of free parking.

I came at a later time in the evening so there were plenty of seats available. The menu is extensive and there SO many options to choose from so you'll never get bored coming here. Apple was our server today and she is so amazing. She was incredibly friendly and my daughter had fun talking with her. Apple gave us plenty of time to review our options and answered all the questions I had about the menu. She really brightens up the place and makes you feel at home. Our food came in a timely manner and all the items came one by one but with very short arrival times between them so we got to eat together. Apple checked on us a great amount of times to make sure we got what we needed and brought us the little extras we asked for quickly. They even celebrated my birthday even though it was a couple days after. You really feel cared for here. We used to be addicted to the Giraffe Ramen location in Long Beach and would order various times in the week. I'm so glad to see them come up and expand their restaurant to include a dine in area. Pricing is fair and the taste incredible. With a lot of ramen places, its hard to get what you pay for, but HERE, you get a lot more. Pro tip: ask for a container as soon as youre done eating so your ramen doesnt get taken away. I learned the hard way

Didn't give us menus until 10 minutes after Sitting down. Didn't come back to take our drinks, by the time she did come to ask for our drinks. We already had our whole order ready so ordered at once. Mind you the restaurant was empty besides one family finishing up and we asked for a two Ramen with toppings like vegetables on the side. And she says OK. Puts the order n and comes back with our Ramen full of all the toppings and walks away. We proceed to look confused because we asked for a toppings on the side and she did not come back until we're taking off all of the toppings When she comes back, she brushes it off like it was no problem and gives us terrible attitude for the rest of the time like we put the toppings on our own Ramen. She asked if everything is OK despite messing up our order. we had to sit there for 10 extra minutes, taking out all the vegetables and stuff that we asked for all of the side. My only problem was that she's proceeded to charge us full price, and we had to pay for food that we couldn't enjoy fully because what we asked for was not given to us. And it was overcharged food that wasn't great or worth paying that much after getting our order messed up.
