This spot is worth trying. They serve large portions for fair rates. Always clean and with fantastic character. Will come visit again.

Love the God Fire. Level 2 is good for a nice spicy kick. The karage is fire.

So good! Just try it at least once. Prices are reasonable. The atmosphere is very family friendly, and getting service is smooth and they're welcoming. I had the tonkatsu ramen. Very delicious. Broth wasnt too salty

Very flavorful Ramen at this location. Definitely will visit again some time. Spice level 1 is just right. I would say level 2 and 3 is way to strong in my opinion.

Very good except that they only give you small two paper-thin slices of pork. Come on, pork isn't that expensive. Anyways I'll go again, but be sure to purchase the add-on meat. The special fried chicken was over done.
Derrick Blancher
Definitely going back there no matter how long the wait may be.

I've been here a few times. It's my favorite ramen place around. The ramen is tasty and the fried chicken is outstanding. Great service too. Not a ton of seating, and it can get crowded. Fortunately, service is fast and you can get on the waiting list online.

The BEST ramen in the area. The Black Tonkotsu Ramen is my favorite. It's broth is flavored with roasted garlic and sesame oil. The broth is flavorful and rich. You can customize how you like your noodles and add additional topping. Ordering is very easy. Just circle what you want and any additional items. Must also try the Chicken Karaage. Lightly breaded, very crunchy outside and very moist and juicy inside. Service is excellent.
Joseph Wanglin
Great Ramen. The pork bone soup one is the best.
Kenneth Jimenez
Food: I got the Spicey Tonkotsu Ramen with chashu pork. The spiciness was spot on and not over whelming but I sorta like spicey, plus it was cold that day. The noodle had the perfect tenderness, the egg was cooked just right for the yolks to ooze out, and the cashu was cut perfect and had wonderful texture!Services: Welcoming, friendly, attentive, accurate and fast! The place is popular so don't be disappointed if it's busy...they actually turn tables over and have you sat quickly.

This place is my favorite place. Of all restaurants I know I love it most. I always suggests to my friends to go to this restaurant. when I feel like having a proper dinner, this place comes right away to my head. very good and all sorts of food and a large menu.professional staff members, and great atmosphere. And very important, the bill is decent. I sent my friends to this spot with pleasure.

Such a great place to eat ramen. I tried Costa Mesa location too but it all tastes flavorful. I saw the ad saying they are goi g to have Halloween event on 10/30(Mon) to 10/31(Thu) God Fire and Black Devil will be 50%off. We can’t miss this. Anyway, service was very attentive and nice. I really had good time here.
Marcus Homan
Black Tonkotsu with Everything Topping and an extra Flavored Egg. Wow. Just Wow! Truly a most favorite Ramen experience in the US
Judson Lee
Such a great place. Was recommended by a friend and it was out first time here. It is the best ramen I have had so far and will definitely be coming back. The broth is so good.
Paul Olivares
I love this place because they have really good ramen and really good fried chicken. They also have an awesome pitcher of beer deal. I like to get that deal for happy hour and just sip on beer and just kick it
Crighton Lienard
Delicious Ramen. I love it. I recommend highly.
Tabetha Jones
I'm a newbie to this Ramen stuff! They were absolutely amazing in every way!
Kathy Garcia
Great taste, great noodles, overall good! Highly recommend!
Rey Perez
So far this place has been consistently delicious. The ramen broth is thick and tasty, the gyoza is great and the special fried chicken rules.
Jessie Ingram
Fresh and tasty Ramen dishes. I love coming here.
Lisa DiMercurio

Richard S
Was bad Broth tasted like fish sauce and I didnt finish the ramen I paid 13$ Didnt finish it so bad broth was like watered down tasting ehhh wont be back ever
Eyung G
I see why this place is so popular. I had the tonkotsu broth, which was well balanced. The fresh toppings made the meal excellent. Side of fried chicken is also recommended.
Jake Pieroni
So excellent. The basic broth with premium toppings was excellent. Looking forward to trying all the broths in the future. The pork belly don rice bowl was also incredible for how simple of a dish it is.
Kat Min
Both Tonkatsu and God Fire Ramen (Level 2 - spicy paste on the side) are delicious! Black Tonkatsu by itself doesn't really catch my eye, but it is so much tastier if you add some spicy paste in it!I'll definitely go back! Just note that they are less generous on meat portion and sides - basically everything will cost you extra $4-7.
Adam Lee
I came in to place a to-go order and the place was PACKED. I was helped promptly and kindly and my order was ready in great time. I’m eating the fried gyoza as I write this, it’s so amazing. Highly recommend this place!
Dan Rich
First time there, compared to other ramen in the area, this is the best. Atmosphere suffers a bit but go for the food! Service is good and quick. Lunch in under 45 minutes.
Christopher Alonzo
Finally! Some good spicy ramen, the God Fire is the way to go!
Conor Doyle

Unis Fulton
Love going there! Cheap pitchers(even cheaper during Happy Hour!) Great food(along with the Ramen) and Angela(she might spell it different) is a great server as well as the rest.
Aaron V
Always been a great ramen location, but now they also have a delicious vegan ramen available too! Love the condiments(fresh garlic, pickled ginger, sesame seeds, etc) on the table too!
Steve Miyasaki
Great Ramen. Do not forget to try the Fried Chicken
Matthew Alvarez
My friend brought me here yesterday, and it is easily one of my new favourite spots to eat. The takoyaki was amazing, and thr amount of spice in the ramen was perfect (tonkatsu god level 2). 10/10 wil be back.
walter san
It's pretty good.. service is fast.. but lines r long.. the broth is good.. not great.. it's super rich.. I would share a bowl, n get appetizers.. definitely try the fried chicken
Langston Leon
I love their Ramen soups, rich and tasty. Highly recommended.
Jane Yang
I don’t really get the hype here. The broth is a little heavy IMO. The garlic tonkatsu (black tonkatsu) is better than the standard broth.
Janice Hsu
Must try the black garlic soup ramen
Ron Bermudez Perea
Great ramen place! Delicious and affordable and I love the fact that there is a happy hour and free noodle refills for students!
Shu Yang
We picked normal broth and it was very flavorful and rich. We selected hard noodles, it was done perfectly chewy even after sitting in broth for a while. We also ordered everything toppings but felt that it was a bit too much and soaked up too much broth. Fried chicken was crispy, juicy and full of flavor.

Best ramen ever!! 💜
Ryant Takai
Always wanted to try this spot, however last two previous visits were extremely packed.We came here around 4:30 pm on Saturday, and it was light and we were able to get served expediently. Karage Chicken & Gyoza for appetizers then a bowl of their Black Garlic Ramen. Wow! What amazing flavor in the soup. Their service was excellent and friendly, we will be back for more. Another fine spot for Ramen.
Urban!
Awesome food and service
T Young
Pretty bomb. Great ramen. Solid broth and noodles. Gyoza is a fav. A little pricey but worth the experience. Try God Level 1, Extra Toppings, vegetables. Karage is a good snack, too. Thank me later.
