Good place for Japanese food..Ramen was delicious with none of those salty taste compared.to others..wife and daughter like it I had the beef bowl and it is very good..reminds of a similar taste in San Francisco ..

We had the signature spicy ramen, cucumber salad, katsu curry and Karage. Loved everything! The care and freshness from the cucumber salad was a delight.
A1 Ramen! Accidentally stumbled across this Ramen joint while trying to find lunch. I instead found my new go-to Ramen place. The Ramen was very tasty. Service was polite and friendly. I will recommend more people to this spot.

Food was good, but you should dine-in or don’t go. I waited 1.5 hours in the car (checking if the order was ready every 25 minutes), then another 20 minutes inside the restaurant. I watched them seat, serve, then close out 4 new parties while in my car. Seems like they didn’t start making my food until I waited inside.Katsu Chicken Curry and Tonkotsu Black Ramen were good. Vegetable Ramen definitely needed some tofu (or some kind of protein), and the broth just tasted like lightly salted water.

Average place for ramen. Good first experience but not sure I would try this place a second time as there are many other similar places like this. This type of food needs to POP for repeat business!Good luck!

To keep things short, staff was very quick to respond and help out. They were also very friendly!My only concerns was them being understaffed, 2 people for lunch time doesn't extends wait times for everyone and can irritate the average person who gets hangry.Secondly, the eggs in the ramen were overcooked for me and my girlfriend's bowl. The flavors for the ramen were good, but nothing astounding. I will come back in a few months to check if they can execute the egg properly, and also see if they will be properly staffed for the weekend morning.

Cool music as always! And best friendly service!One of the best broth for vegetarian lover like my husband, and it's their comfortable ambience that really is good! This is one of the reason to come and have the feast here!

Stopped by on Saturday noon, but restaurant was not crowded at all. Had a tonkotsu spicy miso ramen. As a ramen lover, the food was OK. I like the soup base and topping but the noodle seems overcooked or maybe it's just the noodle that was mushy and soggy. Tables were unstable, not just one, and I hope that could be fixed.

Amazing food, the veggies in the ramen were fresh and crisp, the meat practically fell off the bone and was full of flavor, and the broth was the perfect consistency. It wasn't too heavy or oily but was very filling. I got their signature ramen and it was just the right amount of spice. I definitely recommend getting a hot green tea to drink after, it helps with the oily feeling you get after eating ramenThe waiter was attentive and made sure we had everything we needed, checking up on us every so often but not making us feel too rushed.I definitely recommend coming, this might be my new go to ramen place. Definitely a hidden gem!
You walk-in, get greeted by the super friendly staff. Seat yourself for dine-in unless you come at a time when it's busy. Already knew what I wanted to order, so I let the guy know and sat myself. Food came out very fast and had all of the veggies that should be in a gourmet ramen. I ordered extra egg which is why I have extra eggs in my photo. The broth was well flavored and the noodles were perfectly cooked. I'm from Nevada but come here for work so when I am in town, this will be one of my go to spots for ramen.

Had lunch with a long time friend. Chicken katsu curry, gyoza, shrimp tempura, and ramen. Chicken Katsu = 8/10. Crispy chicken. Curry was ok.Prices are ok.

Food: the Kenkotsu Signature Spicy Ramen was excellent with a Miso base, Pork Bone Broth, Pork Ribs, Green Onions, Bean Sprouts, Wakame, Corn, Sesame Seeds, and EggService: friendly waiter and made-to-order, so is fresh & hotDesign: interiors is simple & clean with a brick-like wall on one side and wood vertical slats on the other with concrete floors and black ceilingOverall: if you want good quality Japanese ramen in Brea/Fullerton, then this is the spot to go

Came here for lunch with my coworkers and I got the katsu chicken curry. I thought it was okay, nothing too special. I also got an order of gyoza and it was good.Tons of parking and service was okay. Its pretty small inside so depending on what time of the day you go, there could be a possible wait.
