    it's been a while since I've had ramen but I do love it. It was a kind of colder day and me and a friend decided to go and it was A GREAT DECISION!!! I've never had this spot before and I know I will be BACK!!! it was DELICIOUS with so much yummy flavor. Now that it's getting colder, this spot is a MUST!!!!!

    Good ramen and perfect portions! Not so massive that you can barely eat half. Friendly service and quiet little spot. Garlic tonkatsu pork is delicious- tastes like tender pork belly.

    This place is so yummy! Came with a group of friends after a day at the sandy beach nearby. We were a party of eight, there's a long table that was able to accommodate us all. Tiny free parking lot. The male server was super sweet and helpful. The female server seemed annoyed when asked to bring extra napkins etc. She asked us if we needed anything else, implying like tell me everything at once so I don't have to keep coming back. There was only one other table at the restaurant at the time, so it wasn't like it was busy. She was just standing by the register, but I suppose if you had to make multiple trips a few steps away, it could burdensome. She wasn't friendly. She should be more positive, higher energy and be grateful to be by the beach with beautiful weather. The ramen here is so good! Got the spicy sesame- highly recommend it. The lucky cat white ale is light and refreshing- get it. Comes in a can. Also tried gyoza, edamame, curry, buns and tonkatsu ramen. Everything tasted excellent. Surprised it wasn't packed. Very low key hole in the wall place.

    Funny story - I had recco'd this location to a co-worker before even coming here based off the menu descriptions. Coworker has returned on a bi-weekly basis since the intro so I figured, maybe it's time we give it a try as well. Husband and I took a week off during Memorial Weekend, which gave us some flexibility and time to venture a bit further down to San Clemente. We arrived before they opened since we were unfamiliar with the area and parking was easy. They have a small private lot and shares the space with a laundromat, but they also have street parking in the residential street if busy. They have more than just ramen. They have curry, cold noodles, and other side dishes like takoyaki, gyoza, rice bowls and pork buns. However, we intentionally made our way here for ramen and we both got the Tonkotsu Ramen. At first I thought the portion was small upon first glance, but it was quite filling. The tonkotsu ramen is pork broth topped with bean sprouts, green onion, soft boiled egg, spinach, seaweed and pork chashu. We asked for no green onions in ours. The broth was milky, flavorful and balanced with light salt. The noodles are a bit thicker, but there's a nice bouncy chew to them. Chashu was tender and not too fatty. I wouldn't mind returning here, but it's a little further away to be folded in for a weekly rotation. I am curious to try their dipping noodles and other ramen flavors. I hear the garlic one is amazing, so I'll give it a try next time.

    Vegetarian Spicy Vegan Ramen with chili oil and black garlic sauce - green tea

    First visit despite living in SC for a while - glad we finally made a stop. Based on the one dish we had - vegetarian ramen with mushroom based broth - it's a solid three stars. But the service is great and the vibe is very chill, so 4 stars is more accurate. The only complaint we had is that the veggie ramen had some odd items in it like bell pepper. And that was a minor complaint at best. The broth was just spicy enough and the portions were perfect. The dine in has a Hawaiian family style setup with the center of the room featuring a very large table to share with other diners. Something that I think more places need to have in order to foster a sense of community. If you are in SC and craving some noodles, give this place a try. It's easy to blast by it on the way back from Trestles - make the effort to look for it, it's worth it.

    Spicy Tonkotsu Ramen

    I am a big fan of ramen, but the ramen here didn't quite hit the mark for me. I ordered the spicy tonkotsu ramen, which I was excited to try since I love adding hot sauce to my broth and it was nice it was added already. However, the ramen was alright; I'm probably not coming back here since I know other better ramen restaurants in OC. My boyfriend also thought it was average. The service and ambiance were good though, so if you're craving ramen in south OC, maybe you can try it yourself and see if you like it.

    Ermegherd!!! Okay, where to start?! How about this... to anyone who has traveled to Japan, WELCOME BACK! Yes!!! This place is sleek and CLEAN, CLEAN, CLEAN! Also, they have the digital ordering game down! Each table has an iPad to view the menu and place orders. Orders came out PIPING HOT. (Pretty sure I was *IN* Japan for a moment, if only mentally.) EVERYTHING HERE WAS SUPERB!!! We ordered (2) Tonkotsu Spicy Ramen and (2) Gyoza (Dumplings, Pot stickers, whichever term you may know them as). I slurped my way into COMPLETE AND UTTER HAPPINESS!!! The gyoza was the steamed kind with the crispy bottom. (Ya know, the best kind of gyoza.) The ramen comes with half an egg (some places do a full egg), so if you're an eggy ramen person maybe add an egg to your ramen customization. The meal total was $50ish, nothing crazy. If you're new to ramen, THIS IS THE PLACE TO TRY IT FOR THE FIRST TIME. MAKE THE DRIVE!!!! If you're familiar and in love with ramen, THIS IS THE PLACE TO BE YOUR "GO TO." If you don't like ramen, well.... I don't know why you're reading this. Lol Also, you're missing out. THANK YOU FOR THE RAMEN 9STYLE!

    New ramen spot in San Clemente that does not disappoint! Great in every way ramen should be. Phenomenal broth incredible flavor Perfect pork belly that melts in your mouth. Nori on the side Great chicken karaage and pork gyoza. The place is packed but 100% worth the wait. No liquor license yet (coming in a month I hope) but there's a liquor store across the street.

    San Clemente Sushi Company is very easy to find, right on the corner with its unique rounded turret…read morearchitecture. This small plaza has its own parking lot with about a dozen spaces. The lot was about half full at 5pm on a Sunday. The dining room is small. There are five or six tables, and some seating at the sushi bar. It does have a nice feel with the round interior, high ceiling, and many windows with a nice view outside. There was some light background music playing. It wasn't busy this early, but it started to get busier after 5:30pm. We started out with the four piece jalapeno poppers ($10). These were very good. The jalapenos were crisp, stuffed with cream cheese, with two sauces drizzled on top. I think there was also a little spicy tuna on top. Next, we ordered a California roll ($8) and a spicy tuna roll ($9). These were good standard rolls with fresh ingredients, and reasonably priced, especially for the area. They have a menu of chef's special rolls which sounded good, and we decided to try the Pink Lady (Inside: Shrimp, Crab, Spicy Tuna, Avocado, Outside: Salmon, Jalapeno, Lemon, Soy Paper, Mustard Ponzu, $20). It might seem a little expensive, but it a roll with no rice. It was excellent, and well worth the money. If you love citrus like I do, you have to try it. I have never had pink lemon before. It's still tart but sweeter than a yellow lemon and less sweet than a Meyer lemon. Our server was friendly, and our food arrived promptly. We would return again when in the area. The only downside is that the restaurant is small. If the dining room is full, you may have to wait a while to be seated.

First impression dining in - small dining area, a lot of take out materials of covidpast Location: located near the freeway. Parking is limited and shared with the plaza. You park in the back and walk around the building to enter. Experience: service is quick and friendly. We have gone a couples times now and each time whether dine in or take out is the same. Sushi chef are working fast to pump out orders without compromising on quality. I would suggest the non rice options and sushi. Note: you can phone in your take out order for fast service.

    Swung by San Clemente with couple of friends and went to this cool spot called Heritage barbecue…read more It is right in the heart of their downtown district. As usual, I ordered a little bit of everything and was not disappointed. I really enjoyed the brisket and the sides that came with it. It's also great that they have a little bar on the side where you can order your selections. Don't be fooled by what you see online when they say it's all sold out. There is stuff that's still there when you walk in and is available. First off service was great. They take the time at the cash to explain to you what everything is and you get a chance to see how much you've ordered and if it's not enough, you can add right away. Once that is done there is a person that seats You and gives you a table there's also a bar on the side where you can order your own drinks. I would definitely choose a beer to go along with the barbeque. Once everything arrives and dick in you notice just how good everything is brisket was the number one star for everyone at our table. The decor is nice. You're sitting in an outdoor area with a lot of shade and they also has this kind of rustic look. Next time I'm in San Clemente I would definitely go back and have another bite.

    TLDR: It's another shot at breaking the glass ceiling of Texas BBQ within California. Although the…read moreline may suggest that this place hits (or even cracks) the clear barrier, I feel that it fails to hit that mark. Brisket: Smokey, salty, meaty, and occasionally fatty. It's everything you want in a brisket. Is it the best? No. Is it the softest? No. Does it taste unique? No. It's another brisket in the mountain of restaurants that claim that they've successfully brought Texas BBQ to California. You get it because brisket has found itself as a pillar within the wave of artisan Texas BBQ, but I'd had at least 3 that are better. Tri-tip: Maybe we got an older batch, but it was on the dryer end. I had a hard time differentiating the taste of this, compared to the other meats that we got, something that I didn't have a problem with when ordering tri-tip elsewhere. Pork Ribs: I've been lucky to have never had a bad rib from establishments that give a damn and that streak continues here. The decision of making a spare rib that isn't fall off the bone is respected, as the meat is soft once you bite it off the bone. Pulled Pork Sando: Knee jerk reaction.... It tasted like Pork Adobo. Upon further mulling and consideration...... It's good Pork Adobo. Mac n' Cheese: It's the best Mac n' Cheese in a Texas BBQ spot that I've had. I love how the noodle, sauce, and panko breadcrumbs complemented each other. I thought the watery cheese sauce was gonna give me an ick, but the taste was good and shook off the negative thoughts. Ambiance: It's good outdoor dining. The area is a quiet and "posh" neighborhood, so you don't really get the drawbacks of eating outside. The non-city nature of the region also provides this sense of calmness within the location. Service: The line will be long, but the employees have a good process. Order taker rings you up, "pitmaster" (who really just cuts the meat for you) proves you got what you ordered, and you're seated after you pay.
