Reviews for HiroNori Craft Ramen in Irvine, CA

The food is really flavorful. Good size portion and comes out steaming hot ????.

Great ramen! I got the vegan ramen and it was super good. The brother is very creamy and all the vegetables are really good. It... has soft tofu as well. My friends got the tonkatsu ramen and fried chicken which they liked as well. Service was quick and theportions were big. Decent price as well. Would definitely come back. Read more

If there is a zero star option I would give it 0. The waiter gave me a dirty spoon that someone else had used with sticky... rice. After eating half of it, I found that there was a long hair in the noodles. Although they gave me another bowl ofnoodles, I lost my appetite. The table is also very dirty. It's so disgusting! Charged a tip without authorization, and did nottake the initiative to give receipt. Read more

0 star if I can. Worse Ramen in Irvine For $16.5 they delivered a Ramen you can make the same thing at home for $5 with a better... taste Soup is unimaginable bad, powder made, or taste like powder made, not hot but a little warm, with bitterness Noodle isnothing close to tender, feel like $1 instant noodle Pork is loose and cold or even boring. And also spinach, it should not showup in $16.5 ramen After all. If you want to have a proper Ramen. Drive 5 more minutes to Sankouka. Read more

I ordered two tonkatsu ramen to go but when we got home there was only one ramen soup in the bag. Then we had to drive another... 20 minutes each way to go back to the shop to ask for the ramen soup they forgot to put in. The cashier didn?t say a word sobasically there was no apology whatsoever. When we got home and had the ramen, it didn't taste well because the ramen had beensitting there for over an hour. All those terrible experience we had tonight is because of the careless mistakes someone made. Ihope you don?t make the same mistake again to ruin other customers' day like I had tonight. That?s why I give you one star. Read more

I got the tonkatsu ramen, and I have to say it was a bit disappointing considering this place is Michelin. The meat was fatty... and tasty, and the eggs were solid, but I think the broth (lots of fat and salt but not a lot of flavor) and noodles were prettyaverage. Not bad as a place to drop in but considering the hype, I would go elsewhere if there?s a long line. Read more

Nice place. There?s only like three ramen dishes on the actual menu but that?s ok. You don?t need too many choices. The basic... tomokatsu ramen tastes wonderful????. I wish they gave a whole egg instead of a half though. You can also ask for the spicysauce to put in it. The crunchy rice with spicy tuna ????on top is bomb also. Currently they only have outdoor seating (Jan2022) and most of the tables are in the shade so it?s cold haha. Usually pretty crowded too. But food itself tasted great. Iwish there was a history of the two guys pictured on the walls or explanation of who they are. I assume the owners but I alwaysam interested in this kind of stuff! Nice place. Wasn?t out of the world good, honestly tasted like any other ramen place I?vebeen to but I?d come back! Read more

This is a long awaited review but I wanted to have a dine-in experience before I put words on this one. We?ve ordered take out... from here a ton considering how we had discovered this place at the start of Covid. As the stars aligned on a random weekday, wewere in the area before peak dinner time and managed to snag a table. The dining room has expanded out towards a small makeshiftpatio which gives ample seating for the long waitlist. The eatery is also in a decent area, situated in a plaza that holdsmultiple different options for food with a mini food hall a couple doors down. Service and food was exceptionally fast, our foodcame out pippin? hot. Our go-to order has been the traditional Tonkotsu Ramen - ($14.80) - be certain to ask for the additionalgarlic and their house spicy sauce! The noodles have the perfect bounce to them with slurp worthy texture, the broth is prettywell balanced as a whole but both the hubby and I couldn?t help but add in their house spicy sauce with a bit of garlic to getmore of an umph factor. The one thing I'll note about the bowl is that the chashu is lacking tenderness. I?m more of a fan ofthe melt in your mouth juicy slices of pork that bring in a meaty texture and flavor to your ramen bite, but the chashu sliceshere are very underwhelming when paired with the rest of the bowl. Crispy Chicken - ($7.00) - Basically their version ofTaiwanese fried chicken bites. Their marinade on their chicken is impeccable! Really enjoyed this appi! DefinitelyRecommend! Overall, HiroNori is definitely one of the top ramen places i?ve tried. The broth and noodles are super tasty, andyou can definitely see the quality in each bowl. Both take out and dining in my experience were decently pleasant! Woulddefinitely recommend this spot for future ramen hang outs! Read more
