    This place is a great value and good food! Annie is very sweet and helpful every time we come in. It's very clean as well. We will continue supporting this little gem!

    My youngest daughter loves ramen. After her first driving lesson, we came here to Wazakuraken Ramen for lunch. It is located on Archibald Ave and Baseline Rd in the City of Rancho Cucamonga. Funny, I drive by this place all the time when I shop at 99 Ranch Supermarket that happens to be across the street on the Baseline Rd side. Now I know they are here, I will be visiting them more often. Upon arrival, there were a couple tables occupied. We knew we were going to order more than just 2 ramen bowls so we asked for a bigger table. Since they weren't too busy, we got our bigger table. Yay! Ambiance was cozy and comfortable. Good amount of inside seating. The lady who took our order was super friendly and helpful. She didn't bombard us during our dining, but was very attentive whenever we needed something. She gave us complimentary iced sweetened green tea with our order since we got two full size sides along with two ramen bowls. Otherwise, it would have cost us $1.50 for each drink. Amazing service all around. Thank you Miss! At the end of our meal, we got complimentary green tea and vanilla ice cream. Bonus points for them! Thank you!! I highly recommend this hidden ramen gem. We will return for more ramen deliciousness for sure. Thank you Wazakuraken Ramen for sharing your unique take on ramen!! For Dine-In: 1. Tonkotsu Ramen - broth was savory, noodles were on the thinner side, melt in your mouth pork belly, YUM! 2. Spicy Miso Ramen - broth was yummy, noodles were firm, just delicious in every spoonful, WINNER! 3. Spicy Salmon O-nigiri - rice was soft, but didn't get much salmon 4. Seaweed Salad - tasted great, good portion 5. Chicken Karaage - huge chicken chunks, wonderfully delicious, MUST GET EVERY TIME! For To-Go: 1. Stew Pork Ramen - tasty broth, but didn't care for the pork belly chunk as it wasn't as moist and tender as the pork belly slices 2. Miso Ramen - amazingly yummy, another WINNER! 3. Chicken Karaage - chicken chunks were not as big as the ones eaten here, but still good

    It's hard to find great ramen around here, but this place didn't disappoint. The broth had a really unique, rich taste that felt like the real deal. The meat was super tender, and you could tell the toppings were fresh. The staff is really welcoming, and the whole place has a great, relaxed atmosphere.

    Haven't been here since Covid, what a horrible experience and memory that was. Times have changed. Very much for the better. It was cloudy today, a little bit of drizzle, and the ambiance in the restaurant was perfect. I love it when the music is played at an appropriate volume, and halfway through our meal it was just turned off. We were the only party inside. I think they must mainly do takeout now since someone was in and out the door every 15-20 minutes to pick up food. The server was incredibly attentive and friendly. The food was incredible. It was the perfect place to wind down after a crazy busy Sunday morning. The two ramen meal set was perfect for us, $38 for two people to eat? With not one but TWO appetizers, and TWO DRINKS?! And FREE ICE CREAM!!?? Insane in this post apocalyptic world we now live in. I couldn't have had a better time and I hope to come back soon.

    This place should be advertised! Price is great and portion is massive, which very rare these days. The place is quite cozy, enough shade on the window during bright day light. The Takoyaki was served fresh and hot. The Ramen tasted great it has plenty of meat, whole seasoned boiled egg, I got spinach noodle with no extra charge. The Chicken Curry also is a good deal one, it comes with miso soup and salad, additionally the boba drink that we ordered get -$1,5. What a great deal, I tell you. We dined it during quiet time, thus the service was flawless!

    We yelp a ramen place and ended up finding this gem! The broth is so good probably the best ramen I have had in years! My boyfriend is not a fan of ramen but he definitely loves this place! Has been our 2nd time already! Definitely recommend it Annie was super welcoming and friendly! We also go complementary ice cream

    Thai Tea and Takoyaki

    Literally sitting down eating right now. I came in they immediately turned the music on and a good station too! I ordered pork Onigiri and Takoyaki and both were 10/10 I'm picky with my onigiri so I'm very happy! As for the takoyaki I've never tried it before today but im happy I did ITS DELICIOUS like a bomb of flavor yum. Great service to boot

    A20. Yakisoba was 10/10 so yummy and good portions

    Service was the best, she was very attentive throughout our meals, our water was not once empty. We got complimentary ice cream at the end. The woman who runs the shop was the sweetest!! We will be definitely coming back to try more delicious food

    Kind of a hidden gem, weren't sure what to expect but it turned out to be a really good pick! We had 10 people in our party, the waitress was very friendly and didn't bat an eye! She moved some tables around and we were able to all sit together. We did have to wait sometime for service, it looks like 1 waitress was running the whole restaurant. Not sure if it's because of the holiday staffing or if this is normal. Not a big deal though. I ordered the spicy miso ramen, it was delicious! The broth is rich with just the right amount of spice, and noodle is at a good consistency. I do have to mention the egg is not quite at a soft-boiled level, it was almost fully cooked. Not sure if this is their normal cook level, but could be an area to improve. I also got the lychee tea (half sweet). It was ok but nothing to write home about. Overall was very impressed and satisfied with the ramen! 5 stars for the food alone :)

    Ask the Community - Wazakuraken Ramen

    Is this place open for dine in?

    Yes

    What veggies / toppings come in the ramen without having to add extras?

    Do they put msg in their food?

    Probably. Doesnt matter though since MSG isnt harmful and is naturally produced in organic foods soooooo

Then I thought should that be a sign...? but we still decided to give them a try. We ordered their onion rings, fries, vegan ramen, and curry plate. The ramen was okay. The noodles were overcooked and mushy. The taste was okay. The items that were fried was decent. Now the curry we ate was weird. It tasted sour. We've eatin many different types of curry; Singaporean, Thai, Japanese, Vietnamese, etc. We have never had that odd taste before with curry. Generally turmeric shouldn't be that way. We're our server know and ask about it (because it may have been spoiled). They didn't give an answer as to why it tasted sour until we asked again. And their answer was "maybe it was t to our liking." It was a strange taste... I don't know if that was their own rendition or used fish sauce or lemon grass or lime but it didn't fit right so we couldn't eat it. I still honestly don't know if the pot of curry was spoiled that we ate. The server (Sarah) did try to correct the issue by offering to replace the meal, and she also offered a small discount. We didn't see much that was suitable for us so we declined the offer. We left the spot and that was the end of that. The place was completely empty. No one was dining in. Now I know why and after reading all the other reviews regarding quality and taste.

    I never expected to fine such good Japanese ramen all the way out in Rancho Cucamonga…read more I'd heard the name a few times before, so my friends and I decided to stop by for lunch one day just to see what the hype was about. I'm so glad we did because it ended up being one of the best ramen spots I've tried in the area. The noodles were cooked perfectly with just the right amount of chew, and the broth was rich and flavorful without being overly heavy or greasy. It wasn't watered down either. The pork slice were seriously thick! Honestly thicker than what I've gotten at some BBQ restaurants. Even with the generous cut, the pork was incredibly tender and easy to bite through without feeling tough at all. I also asked if they could make my ramen extra spicy, and they absolutely delivered. The added heat complemented the broth instead of overpowering it, which made the whole bowl even more addictive. This is def one of those places that exceeded my expectations. Highly recommend!

I put my number in to get notifications and it didn't work, completely pointless.

It just has soy, soy mixed sauce, chili oil, and black vinegar. I ordered the Wide Hand Pulled Noodles, Green and Onion Pot Stickers, and the Beef Rolls. Wide Hand Pulled noodles were ok. Honestly not much to brag about. I thought the noodles were cooked well but the flavor didn't really stand out to me. I believe it's served with chili oil, a mound of minced garlic and some vegetables. Outside of those ingredients I thought it needed more flavor or substance. The beef rolls were ok to me as well. I liked how crispy the roll was and size. Good portions of sliced beef served with cilantro. It was refreshing but the meat was generally cold with some warmness provided by the roll. But that quickly faded. Would prefer it to be warmer. The highlight was the pot stickers. Beef and onion were good. Really enjoyed the presentation of the dish. The edges of the pot sticker were really thick. Almost chip like. I enjoyed it as much as the dish itself. Would get it again. Overall I thought the food was ok. I'm sure there are better highlight dishes than what I ordered but they weren't selected this go around. Also the prices are a little higher than most dumpling spots so I just expected more.
