Great food and service! The manager Kay is great and always makes us feel welcome. I highly recommend for anyone who is looking for a good cozy ramen restaurant. Also, the fried rice is amazing.

Came here with my partner on our Laguna trip, the service was really lovely. However the ramen was not great. Not much to choose from. And the environment was a bit dusty, they have so much potential so I hope to see some improvement next time I visit.

i've eaten here so many times, it is one of my favorites. both ramen broths are equally good. for the tapas we like the spicy edamame and poke on crispy rice the best, but we have never dislike any appetizers we have tried. the fried rice is also amazing.

I can't believe I live so close and it was my first time coming to this place after 3 years. If only I would've known! A very quaint, small little spot nestled amongst other shops on PCH but this one isn't to miss. On a rainy day it's perfect for ramen with all the choices one could ask for. I'd highly recommend ordering some tapas which all sound great but we definitely have a clear winner with the ahi tuna on top of crispy rice. The filet mignon entree was also something I'll come back again and again for.

Great ramen spot right on PCH that we have driven by many times but decided to give it a try. We had 3 bowls of Udon noodles, one with pork, the others with tofu. Then a rice bowl to share. Everyone enjoyed their lunches and we will definitely return.

Our first time in! What a great experience, and the flavors were to be enjoyed fully. Great flavors. I love the fact that you could customize your Ramen dish. Dan, our waiter,was amazing, friendly, courteous and speedy with service. All for a great value. If you want really good food, great service, and a good value you should come here.

My boyfriend & I have come here a couple times & both times were the only patrons (early birds). They have a big list of creative appetizers; we got the spicy poke tostada & soft shell crab, veggie udon & pork belly udon. I really liked the flavor of the veggie broth (a mushroom, soy sauce base) & my boyfriend was happy with traditional creamy meat broth. I like the sectioned off booths, it feels intimate. The 90s music videos they had going were fun! We'll be back. I will say that the curtain in the restroom is very sketchy & should be replaced with a permanent PRIVATE solution

Amazing spot!!! Service is fast and food is so good! Access is not bad and there is parking but make sure you beat the dinner rush!

We walked in and got seated immediately. We enjoyed all our food. The calamari was notably crispy and light and perfectly salted. The Gu Fries was cheesey and had a complimenting soy glaze the complimented the saltiness of our ramens. The service was unhurried and efficient. The vibe of the space was consistent with the theme. I tried their mandarin sorbet and it was disappointing but still a good pallet cleanser. We really enjoyed our dinner there. This continues to be our annual stop in Laguna for a late ramen.

Love this place. We have been coming here for years and always good. Very tasty ramen. I like it with the udon noodle too sometimes. And I love how we can order fried rice in the side. And love the tapas menu. Very good appetizers

I came here after a cold beach day walk & it was so delicious. I highly recommend their ramen and different butters they offered.

Amazing ramen, seriously I don't think any obtener ramen I've had compares! I also love their location being right there in south laguna by the beach is soo nice! The service was good even though they are a small spot and usually packed, they made sure to check on our table multiple times and provide whatever it was we asked for.

The ramen is always on point here. Simple and delicious. I always get the pork and it never disappoints. They are fast and attentive. The restaurant is clean and I love the front table with the large windows. It's very beachy!

One of the best ways to end a day at the beach is with a large bowl of ramen, and Gu Ramen doesn't disappoint. Great food, great service, and a nice atmosphere.
