We had their Agadashi tofu with eggplant, vegetable gyoza, spicy tomato vegan ramen and Tan Tan vegan ramen. Overall the food was good, the service was fast and the staff were nice BUT it's very pricey.

Orenchi Ramen isn't your average noodle joint. This Santa Clara gem cranks out seriously good ramen. The vibe is chill, staff's friendly, and the food? A flavor explosion.I tried their signature ramen – the Orenchi. Rich, complex, simmered for ages. Each slurp was a party in my mouth. Noodles were cooked just right, chewy and delicious. The real star was the pork – melt-in-your-mouth good.Pan-fried gyoza hit the spot too. Crispy on the outside, juicy and flavorful inside. The dipping sauce added a perfect kick.Heads up – some of my folks said the broth is a bit salty. I liked it, but they do let you adjust the strength.

The interior of the store, where J-POP music plays, feels like a Japanese theme park. At exactly 11:30, the sign flipped from "Soup finished" to "We're doing it" and the store opened. I had the oriental ramen from the signature menu. The soup is light. The flavored eggs were delicious.

The ramen itself is quite tasty, the fried chicken is larger than usual, the portion of salmon oyakodon is larger than expected, the salmon roe has a strong umami flavor so it tastes salty, the food is basically quite deliciousBut pay more attention to the charges. If you use a credit card, you will be charged 5% non-cash adjustment. On the other hand, large groups will charge an 18% tip in advance but will also charge you an additional tip and there will be suggestions of 18%, 20 %, 22%... We accidentally tipped a full 18% more

I've been going here for 7 years. Still delicious. The crowds at the store have calmed down considerably, and there are fewer long waits.

Horrible place. Waited 20m to order and 30m for noodle to be served. There were only a few customers inside at that time! Not sure what took everything so long. The noodle was only served 2 minutes after we threatened to walk out, apparently nobody cared if any customer is waiting until you are pissed off. Food is extremely greasy and salty. Btw you probably need to pay 20+ dollars for a ramen before tax and tip.
The level of Ramen is way far from authentic ones in Japan.

Oh how they mighty have fallen. Orenchi used to be the pinnacle of ramen in the bay area. There would be lines out the door at a minimum wait of at least an hour.Nowadays you can get a seat right when you get there. I can all pinpoint it to several things really. One of the biggest I would say is greed. The busier they got the shadier they got with the customers... Less food for what you pay for with portions getting smaller and smaller. Then came the debacle of trying to make their own ramen noodle in-house which was an utter failure. Now we're at the point where the food quality has just gone downhill. The ramen broth no longer tastes the same and the prices are still out of premium.Not sure what led to the downfall but I can easily point it at the failed biz ventures they had next door and that causing some financial difficulties.

A ramen place that’s truly 10/10. Loved the Orenchi ramen with spicy miso mix.
