“This hidden gem in one of Irvine's strip malls has become a regular spot for my husband, mom, little pup, and me!The food is fantastic, the service is always friendly, and the fact that it's dog-friendly is a huge plus.My absolute favorite is the Hakata Tonkotsu. The broth is so rich and flavorful – I like to add a bit of spice with the mild to medium option.They're very generous with the noodles, so I rarely finish it all, but it's incredibly delicious. I always leave feeling satisfied and happy.I also love the Mentaiko Bowl with its spicy seasoned cod roe, rice, and all those fresh toppings. My only tiny suggestion would be to add more cod roe to perfectly balance the dish.If you're looking for some amazing Ramen and more in Irvine, check this place out! You won't be disappointed.P.S. I've decided that I will only rate restaurants up to a maximum of 4 stars in my reviews because consistency can vary depending on the day. I will always mention the actual rating for the specific visit in the body of my review. Thus far, this place has consistently deserved a 5-star rating!Vegetarian options: I am sure they can accommodate upon request.“
“I had high expectations before coming here. Ramen looks so good and Kiakata is a bit salty but delicious. The broth has no umami. Noodle was like between udon and ramen. You will know what I am talking about when you eat this Broth needs to be cooked longer to extract more umami from pork bone.“
“If I could eat only one meal for the rest of my life, it would be Tonkotsu ramen from HiroNori. It's perfectly creamy, comforting and delicious. Fair warning - the portion is huge, but I always end up finishing every last drop of it.I went with my 5-year-old to their Sand Canyon location today and ordered a ramen combo with salmon poke, which was the perfect portion for my kiddo. He loved everything and said we should come back here for dinner sometime.A special shout out to the staff - literally everyone is super friendly, attentive and extremely professional. This place has my heart and I'm already planning my next visit.“
“First time at the restaurant. Did not know what to expect. Looked at the menu and was rather pleasantly surprised at the robust selection. Tried the Tonkatsu Miso ramen and it was delicious. My wife had the Salmon Bento box and was pleasantly surprised. And my kids loved the Macarons for dessert. Would highly recommend and will come back again“
“My son brought ramen bowls home one rainy and now I'm hooked!We got the toro salt and toro soy sauce ramen with a bowl of pork and rice to share. The ramen bowls (the pork by the way just melted in my mouth) were the perfect comfort food for the gloomy day and the pork and rice was delish!We will definitely be getting the ramen and the rice bowls again ~ I actually can't wait!“
“I went here because all the other ramen places I enjoy closed down. Was pleasantly surprised by how the food was. The service was good though I can’t say much because they weren’t there that long. The atmosphere was pretty calming and the music was a 7/10 in my opinion. Overall this place has good food, good service, and a good atmosphere.“
“It locates at the most popular outlet in Irvine, but the price is still approachable. The service is cordial and quick. I didn't wait long after I ordered the classic ramen and fried chicken. Overall pretty good. I am glad iI went there for my 30 minutes stay at the outlet.“
“Miso ramen & spicy ramen with egg rolls, edamame, and Grilled gyoza Shout out kaz for helping out. This guy has great service! This place is super underrated and I think this is top 5 in Irvine. Definitely my wife and I go-to ramen spot. Cant wait to try the sushi next time. See you next week Kaz!“
“Note: current description of this restaurant says yakitori, but they don't have it. Menu was mainly various udons, ramen and side dishes like tempura and gyoza. Everything we ordered (ramen, Udon, gyoza, tempura, tempura roll) tasted great.“
“It just doesn’t get any better than this. I’m telling you, it’s the best ramen in America. The tonkatsu broth is cooked for 24 hours and you can taste the depth of flavor in every bite. The crispy chicken is a perfect starter. Served fresh and hot and super crispy. Edamame is fantastic as well as the pork buns. They add the tip on the total, So be careful not to double tip the server. (Unless you want to!) Strip mall has free parking, but the entire area is busy, so you may have trouble finding a spot.“
