I have tried many ramen places and this one definitely holds it's good rating in my book. For the price you get a pretty decent piece of meat which in other places would be extra charge. The broth was pretty flavorful, I like the addition of spinach. The side of garlic went well with it! The bathrooms could use a little update. Also this place has this whole service charge thing (even for small parties) which is not very visibly shown anywhere and it is optional but you know how it is.

An excellent casual spot for some ramen deliciousness. I had the TONKOTSU RAMEN which included: Pork chashu, green onion, spinach, seaweed, bean sprouts, half egg. They offer a few more additional toppings, as well as ordering more of the toppings that are already included; all at an extra charge. I selected the “combo” which included the ramen accompanied with a small poke rice bowl (your choice tuna or salmon) and a small side salad. Our group also had the cucumber crab salad and crispy rice with spicy tuna. The ramen broth was exceptional, not too salty with perfect flavors and richness. I added some garlic and spicy sauce bringing it to near perfection. The noodles are thick with just the right amount of bite. The pork chashu was excellent. The side dishes and appetizers were also very very good. Especially the crispy rice with spicy tuna. The decor was modern, hip and comfortable. The service was very good; wait staff was very attentive and always made sure your drinks were topped off. I highly recommend this place if you’re in the mood for a hot bowl of ramen.
best ramen I've had in the US. love this place, with their light and flavorful ramen and adjust your own spice level. The cold dipping noodles are fantastic and a must-try. I would recommend this place over all others for ramen. The atmosphere is gorgeous with unique chairs and a minimalist feel. I also love the crispy rice with tuna.
Best ramen place in Irvine hands down! Staff is friendly and the food is amazing! Recommend the pork buns, mochi, and Shoyu ramen!! There is a wait usually but if youngo later at night you’ll be fine!!
The ramen is incredible! Try out the black garlic sauce, it has a subtle but strong flavour.
The vegan ramen is simply a work of art. Make sure to try the plum wine.
Very delicious food. I ordered combo- vegan ramen and salmon rice. We also had spicy tuna and pork ramen. The sale was very good.
My friend recommended me to this ramen spot so we stopped by last weekend. It's a small and clean hole in the wall ramen place, but don't let the size of the restaurant fool you. Their Tonkotsu soup is one of the best soup base I've tried in a long time. The Tonkotsu broth is nice but not overpowering and certainly flavorful. They also have a Shoyu (Soy sauce base), which also has a flavorful ending. Their noodles are thin, and they also have thicker noodles depending on the soup base you order. I recommend this ramen spot. At least try it once, and you won't regret it.
Been here three times now, all visits were good. Their ramen and appetizers were well presented and tasty. The staff were very nice. Extra kudos for the dog treats for my furry child!! The food was bit on the salty side, but great with sake.
Delicious, way better than the Long Beach location.
Definitely get the chili paste, it will be the perfect kick the ramen needs.
Coming from NYC, I was surprised at the quality to price ratio. It's very good Tonkatsu ramen and the egg was still runny. The vegan ramen was still flavorful without the use of pork or fish broth.
Really love and recommend this ramen place for anyone who is vegan. The vegan broth ramen is wonderful. I added shrimp to give some extra protein but it was delicious. Visited 3 times in two weeks after trying it for the first time! Edamame is great as well and the crispy rice with spicy tuna is delicious
Super fast service and one of the best meals I've ever had. If you love Ramen, come here 🍜
Came in before lunch crowd and they seated us immediately knowing we’ll do the ramen thing of enjoying our bowl and leave for the next customers. Ordering was easy and they were quick to get our food in. Delicious ramen! Ordered the vegan to have a lighter option. Added garlic and spicy that further enhanced the already flavorful broth. Chicken ‘karrage’ was also excellent!
A near flawless experience, it lived up to the hype probably the best broth I've had in a long time and the best ramen I've ever had
I tried a Tonkotsu Ramen and it was good.
Soup: Good. Rich but not too salty.
Chashu: More than Perfect. Crispy outside while tender inside.
Noodle: Medium thickness. Slightly less cooked-which I prefer
Price: It was ok. (Additional service charge will be added to your bill automatically, and you don’t need to add additional tip.)
The only downside is the limited parking space of the mall.
Look, if you want a flavorful broth for pork based, chicken, or vegan based this is the spot. The ramen is pretty good and normally food is consistent dine in or take out. The only problem I have is when you order take out they always forget either utensils, sauce, or something in the order. Dining in person, while very close quarters with other people the service is generally pretty slow.
Pro tip try the thin noodles, and add extra egg to your dish. Food always hits, just more often than not something small stops me from having the best overall “that hit the spot”, from a service standpoint.
HiroNori was easy to find online. Their menu was easy to access. Ordering online was seamless. Good communication about the pick up time and when my order was ready (which was fast!). They had my order waiting once I arrived. Staff at the front were friendly and efficient getting my order. The best part was that the Tonkotsu ramen was sooo delicious!! I had mine with added black garlic and spicy sauce. I will definitely order again the next time I visit Irvine!
Fantastic! Great service, very attentive. The food is really, really good as well. The pork buns are out of this world. Noodles are fantastic and the fried chicken appetizer is great. I really love the Japanese IPA beer as well, very tasty.
I will be going back for more and a rerun of the pork buns.
