There was a little sticker on the table that said “Ramen is the answer.” Absolutely loved it and agreed with it. Late night ramen tasted fresh and well made. I chose to eat the veggie ramen and personally I can be picky with my vegetables, but was steamed well. The combination with the soup was soothing. Also, the environment itself felt relaxing.

When you eat a lot of ramen, there are certain things that you come to expect - buttery soft chashu is one of them. It's sad to say, you will not find it here. At least not on this night. The pork was firm to the tooth, and a bit too salty for my taste. Perhaps they let it cook too long. In fact, I didn't even finish the two pieces that they provided.The miso broth (they offer spicy, or not. I chose the not) was flavorful. The noodles were thin (I pulled some up to show you in my image). I prefer thick curly noodles, but these were perfectly cooked and were more than acceptable. And they include half an egg, which many places make you pay for.Three stars may be a bit harsh, but if you have more than four in your party, you will be crowded, or stuck with a table on the end of your booth for four. Or squeezed together on your booth bench. Spartan is a generous description of the interior. Five bare wooden booths with a thin cushion on the seat and a couple small tables for two. I may have caught them on an off night, but I don't think I'll be back.

It was ok but it wasn't good either. I had better. Ramen has 4 bases and you can have all from here.

Excellent food. Slightly overpriced but delicious!! Will definitely come back.I found this place cause it’s close to the yoga place we have been going to. So happy we did. It’s perfect. Ordered the Vegan Ramen from there — it came with the mushroom broth with amazing flavor.

I got the spicy miso ramen. Fried oysters and taioyaki. Great apps, ramen is not a big portion and they do not offer a 2nd helping of needles on their menu from what I saw. But, the ramen was good the service was excellent!

My go to for ramen in the OC. I keep it simple with my spicy miso! It never fails and it gives me a perfectBalance of taste and spicy.Place is clean and staff is always professional and always friendly.Would totally recommend anything on the menu.

Quick and smooth service. Ramen was top notch, everything about it was great. The meat practically melted in my mouth! Got some Karaage to go with it, only $4.5 for 6 pieces! Loved that it came with sauce and a lemon.Would definitely come here again for a ramem craving fix.

Good spot for casual, quick lunch or dinner. Had the Spicy Miso Ramen. I usually lean towards Shoyu ramens because Tonkotsu broths tend to be a bit too greasy. This one wasn't! It wasn't too spicy either. Would also recommend their Curry Combo. For appetizers, we had Okonomyaki which was OK but I think we'll try something else next time.

So good!! The ramen is delicious and the Katsu curry is the bomb! It's hard to find a place with good katsu curry! Jsan is our new spot! Service is also great! Everyone is nice, professional, and prompt!
This place is Awesome. Not only is the food delish but it is presented well and you know they really take their time with their orders. I had the veg ramen since I'm vegetarian and it was the best ramen a vegetarian can ask for. The broth was good with plenty of flavor and plenty of healthy veggies, some I have never even heard of. Overall I had a wonderful experience. The best part is they aren't as expensive as the other places and I think their stuff is way better. If your looking for good ramen for a good price this is the spot !

The spicy Tonkotsu Ramen is spicy, even for Koreans like me who grew up enjoying spicy food

After frequenting this shopping center, I hadn't realized this was there until I drove up that side entrance. I was in a hurry and had no idea about the different ramen styles and what type was what I would like. The super friendly and helpful gentleman at the front was awesome at explaining the options to me. Food came out quickly, was delicious, and ordered two more to go for my picky eater kids. They ate every little bit with no complaints! I'll definitely be back!

Was hungry and tired and wanted to get something nearby so stopped in hoping to get a quick bite. Although the place was full on a Friday night, I was hopeful that the service would be good and efficient based on the good reviews. Ordered the fantastic four, chicken karaage, ramen, and pork curry don. Everything was great except for the curry don. It took way too long to be served - in fact, it came out after we finished all 3 dishes. So then after my partner finished his meal, he had to wait for me to start and finish my curry, which was rather mediocre. The servers were friendly enough, but I would not come here again and wait 30-40 mins for a standard bowl of curry while having to remind the staff about my order. If you like ramen and don't mind a wait - 4 stars.

Great food. B***** than I thought. Not too much not too little. It was perfect portion.
