I went last Friday for some delicious ramen and karaage chicken. I found this letter at the door. Is this true? I hope not

Very good service. Good quality of noodles, not mushy, good bite. We went on a Sunday night and it was really quiet, only one other group there. Location and decor nothing to write home about, but clean and comfortable. Would recommend.

The workers were super nice and very helpful! I went an hour before closing so what I want was not being made anymore, but the worker helped recommend other stuff to get. I got the corn ramen and a rice bowl combo! It was super good, but I would recommend easy on the sauce for the rice bowl. It was way too much and drenched, so my rice became soggy and it felt like I was eating mouthfuls of sauce haha. Other than that though, the whole experience was great!

Been going here since it first open here in Anaheim. Love the food, great service, and great ambience. Recommended as a nice place for dinner. Great variety of ramen dishes and rolls. Also of note, they no longer accept stamp cards.

I asked for a recommendation from the waiter and he said I should try the cabbage ramen. It has a garlic mayo which I was very intimated about hearing at first but upon trying it with the hand made noodles, it tasted very delicious. The ramen is very delicious and unique. You can taste their high quality hand crafted noodles. This place is a hidden gem.

This is one of my to go to's spot! Everything is delicious in my opinion. Prices are very reasonable and for the food quality it's even better. Even though I typically order take out, the service is good and environment is great. I personally love all the anime decor. I recommend, this is a must try ramen spot! :)

While looking for a place to satisfy my don craving, I came across this little hidden gem that has now become one of my go to for Japanese food. The interior was decorated very nicely with all things anime. I've been there a few times now and I have to say the karage don chicken bowl is one of the best items on the menu! The chicken is fried to crispy perfection and pairs so well with the crunchy seaweed on the side. I made a request to add the sauces from the other don bowls and that was the cherry on top. The ramen itself is also really good and filling - not too heavy and they have a variety of soup bases and noodle types! I've tried all 3 noodles, and will say the regular and red are my favs - the red being only a tad bit spicy. Their sushi options are also a very good deal - humongous rolls with a decent price tag. Overall this place hit the marks on all things - taste/price/ambiance. The only thing I would recommend is getting more help out on the floor since there was only 1 girl managing all the customers/delivery/phone calls/etc at the time we went.

We were looking for a ramen spot / don bowls and man did this hit the spot. It's in a random corner of a plaza but the food and interior was amazing. The food was extremely cheap being at about $10 per person for the main meal. We customized our Don bowl just a tad bit by asking for karage chicken instead of their teriyaki chicken. And it was FIRE you need to try it out. The chicken was so juicy. We also had the spicy miso and we chose red noodles which was a bit more spicy. But man the ramen itself was so filling and you can get a refill on ramen for just 1.50. For all 3 items we paid roughly 36 with tax. On a side note: there were 3 or 4 people in the kitchen but just one singular person being the busser and waiter. She was also answering the phone calls and dealing with all the food delivery drivers. This girl was running all over the place. She was running so much I felt really bad so I tipped her more than half of my actual meal. I hope they hire more people or give her a pay raise. FYI despite all this: Our food came out in under 10minutes. Ambience: 5/5 Food: 5/5 Service: 5/5 Overall cost to taste ratio: 5/5 Will be coming back

Food: This is one of my go to ramen spots. They have so many options, including vegetarian options. I also love that they have three options for the type of noodle you get: regular, kale, and spicy. The spicy ones are so good. 10/10 Service: The food definitely doesn't take too long to come out. Also, the server was very kind about answering any questions we had about the menu. 9/10 Ambiance: The walls are covered in anime posters. It's so cool to look around at everything. Also, they have a little walk through Japan playing on the TV, which I think really adds to the ambiance too. I really like the vibe of this place. 10/10

My family and I had spent all day at Knott's and were craving ramen and sushi before the long drive home. This place offers both and the prices looked super reasonable. Sold! We were immediately greeted and seated. The waitress brought us menus and waters and then returned a few minutes later to take our orders. We ordered a few appetizers, some ramen and some sushi to share. The food came out as it was ready, which was nice because it was hot and fresh. Everything was delicious! Our kids enjoyed the miso ramen and my husband really liked the spicy ramen. I was content with my sushi. Nothing wildly unique, just some basic sushi options, but it hit the spot and I was satisfied. Overall, I would recommend this place to anyone looking for tasty ramen and sushi on a budget. We would definitely return.
