    My family and I went there last year, and we really enjoyed their vegan broth ramen with pork. It was so delicious! Their tonkotsu ramen was good but was too light in flavor for what we are used to. Our server was great--friendly and personable and gave a background on how the restaurant got started. The inside is pretty spacious, clean, and modern. Parking is huge but finding a parking spot can be a challenge since the lot is shared by other businesses.

    Hanami means flower viewing in Japanese so I was expecting to see flowers but I found bonsai plants. In any case, this place is cozy and decorated elegantly. No complaints. I was a little surprised to see it has an air filtration device running to keep the air fresh. It's a very nice gesture I thought. Its service was better than many Japanese restaurants I have visited. Hazel is friendly and attentive. I liked the spicy ramen I ordered but it was only mild. I looked for the ramen seasoning I had at other ramen shops but none to be found. :-(

    Doing shopping in the area and this caught our eye, for something quick and fortunately when we arrived around 4pm-ish it was empty except one other group. There were people coming in from DoorDash and Uber eats. Either way, been to a lot of ramen places and been pretty lenient on the reviews. Not saying 3 is a bad review just to us it was good. Just didn't stand out too much. The inside was nice and clean, not sure how long this place has been there but everything looked very well kept up. Menu was pretty simple. Spicy garlic edamame was good, the Takoyaki was really good. The chicken karage was good as well. The ramen bowl was pretty good as well and it did feel as though they gave more noodles than some other ramen places we've been to. Service was on par and prices were typical . No happy hour, so in case you are looking for an extra couple of bucks off appetizers during happy hour, time. There aren't any. All in all I wouldn't mind going back if I'm in the area, just wouldn't go out of my way to come here, but all around the experience was enjoyable. Everything was consumed.

    Excellent food and outstanding service! Everything was flavorful, and the staff was so welcoming. Will definitely be back.

    Spicy Tonkotsu Ramen

    I have never been here and I came into the store to order, it was empty but that would be due to it being quite warm. But I am sick and have been feeling crappy, but it smelled delicious and tasted even better. The egg was jammy and sweet made perfectly. The broth was spicy and very deep in flavor. Overall a very good bowl of ramen for a sick girl. Will have to come in and dine in at some point, the restaurant looked clean and well maintained. Thank you for a delicious bowl of ramen!

    The food was amazing! My friend and I came to Hanami after researching multiple ramen places in the area and we chose this place specifically for the tofu fries, which didn't disappointment. Tofu Fries: Very crispy on the outside with a nice chewy interior, went beautifully with the sweet sauce provided. Spicy Tonkotsu Ramen: Rich broth enhanced by the spice and paired well with the pork chashu. Yuzu Shio Ramen: Delightfully bright citrus flavor with a light broth base. It was surprisingly delicious and refreshing. Overall, the service was good and the food was enjoyable. Not pictured was the mango passionfruit sweet tea and sakura milk tea. Both drinks were very good and the tea came in a big mason jar glass! This is definitely a spot I will definitely be coming back to!

    Food is great, broth is flavorful. I add garlic and spinach but remove the bamboo shoots and egg. Nice atmosphere, staff is pleasant.

    First time having Ramen and it was SOOOOOOO GOOOOOOOD!!! Been feeling a little bit under the weather and this is exactly what I needed. The service is as great. Everyone was super friendly. It was clean and had quick service. I will most definitely be coming back.

    Yuzu Shio ramen, Tokyo Tonkatsu ramen, some added spice on the side, extra noodle (to share), and a delicious Yuzu Lemonade.

    Food/ramen = 3/5 Service = 4/5 Ambiance = 4/5 We ordered a Tokyo Style Tonkatsu ramen and a Yuzu Shio Ramen, with the Yuzu Lemonade drink. First and foremost, the noodle and broth were most of the score for both ramen, which were quite lacking, mainly the broth if I/we were honest, both we thought the ramen was fair, a 3/5. The egg was cooked well and tasted delicious. They are generous with the meat in their ramen. The chashu for the tonkatsu ramen was tender and melts in your mouth. The chicken for the yuzu shio ramen however was a fair bit plain. The corn was sweet and added to the flavor. It was mostly the broth flavor that was on the lower end of flavors. OVERALL = 3.6/5, but we'll bump that to a solid 4 because that Yuzu Lemonade was delicious.

    So the hubby and I were in Corona Ca and we decided to have some Ramen and we found Hanami Ramen. We started out with the spicy edamame which was so good! It had great flavor to it! Not too spicy either. My hubby had the spicy pork ramen. He said it was very good. He said that he liked it and that he would order it again or maybe even try another dish from here. I ordered the creamy pork ramen with crispy onions and black garlic oil. It was so yummy! We both tried their $5 lemon aids too. I had the mango lemonade and the hubby had a strawberry lemonade. Unfortunately the mango lemonade was just ok. It was not sweet enough for me though. My hubby said the strawberry lemonade was good tho. It was a quiet day. Not many other people in the restaurant at that time which made for a nice dining experience . The restaurant was clean and looked nice. The Service was good too. Our waitress was nice and friendly. We will be bringing our daughter back to try it out soon. She likes ramen too, so I know that she will love Hanami Ramen restaurant. So If you haven't tried ramen, now would be a great time to try it. This restaurant is really good. We will be back soon to try their other dishes too.

    Fried Calamari
    Trey T.

    I wanted to try ramen in the Cali area and this had the best reviews so we tried this place. Service was great. Food was meh but better than the disappointments I've had so far for my trip. The fried calamari was very crispy and the squid meat inside was nice and juicy and soft. It paired very well with the spicy mayo sauce. I got the spicy tonkotsu extra spicy, hence the three scoops of chili paste in my bowl. The broth was good but not enough flavor. The pork was nice and tender and fatty. I like that they add fresh bean sprouts and not ones that have been blanched. The egg however was not to my taste. I'm used to salty or yolky eggs, but the egg yolk was very sweet, like I was eating a candied egg. The Sakura milk tea tasted like milk with the red sala cider syrup used for shaved ice. Not my favorite. The boba was chewy, but tasted like it wasn't left to soak long enough. Nice shop for locals, but not for me.

    Saw this new restaurant open up next to hobby lobby and decided to give it a try one night after work. Inside is pretty small and can become crowded easily. I was lucky enough to get a table right away but 5 minutes later a group of 4 came in and had to stand there until a table was free. A few others left because they did not want to wait for an open table. I felt the service was a bit slow. It could have just been the night I went. It took a while to get our order take. And our server messed up our table location with another table. When we were finished with our meal, it took a while to get our receipt to pay. Other than that the food was great. I ordered the spicy tonkotsu ramen, spicy miso ramen and gyoza. I ordered my ramen with extra noodles and extra seasoned egg. You can choose what type of noodles you want to go with your ramen such as white thin noodles, yellow wavy noodles or spinach noodles. I chose the yellow wavy noodles to go with my ramen. You can also choose what meat you want to go with your ramen as well such as pork, chicken or tofu. The ramen was delicious and the broth was yummy and rich in flavor. I also had a good amount of meat with mine which is always a plus. The seasoned eggs could have been a little better but they weee still good. The spicy miso ramen was delicious, the broth flavor was good. The gyoza was pan fried and packed some flavors to them.

    The gyoza are good! These are pan fried, so they are still soft on top.

I ended up ordering spicy edamame, vegetable egg rolls, veggie rolls, tempura veggie rolls, and vegetable yakisoba. My sister, who's a meat eater, ordered calamari, California rolls, beef fried rice, beef yakisoba, and a new Korean bbq dish that wasn't on the regular menu, but there was a picture of it on the wall by our table. In addition, we each also got a bowl of miso soup and a small salad that came free of charge with our meal, which I appreciate since sushi rolls by themselves don't really fill me up. Everything tasted good and was filling and even now after eating some of the leftovers, it all still tastes good. The place itself is nicely decorated with a bunch of police patches behind the counter while on the walls there's Japanese artwork. The only hiccups I had was when I first came in I immediately asked for 2 waters. I got a nonverbal "Mm-hmm," so I repeated it again and got the same response, but a little more annoyed. Maybe it's a cultural thing where I was expecting an actual "Yes" and in Japan it's just a noise of acknowledgement, but once I started ordering so much food the waitress was much nicer to us. The 2nd was when we had to wait for the last dish to come out when we were already packed and ready to leave, but that was more on us since we added the Korean bbq last minute. The last has nothing to do with the restaurant itself, but the plaza it's in. If you're unfamiliar with it, I'll tell you right now that the parking situation is a nightmare! Basically, the parking lot is a long narrow stretch sandwiched in-between with the various restaurants and shops on one side, and the main street on the other side, so what ends up happening is all the good spots right next to the place you want to go to get filled up fast and you have to try and make a U-turn and find parking far away. Meanwhile, a bunch of other cars are trying to do the same thing while other cars are trying to come in off the street. It's horrible! It's an accident waiting to happen! I hate this plaza and whoever designed it! Anyway, if you're willing to put up with the parking situation, the restaurant and food are good enough for you to forget about it until you're trying to leave.

Everything tastes good. I just finished my leftovers and I'm already craving the noodles since they were so soft. The restaurant is clean and modern with big windows and an outdoor patio. If it weren't so hot (We came on a 100F day) it looked like a nice place to eat under the umbrellas. I accidentally spilled a jar of hot sauce which for some reason had a loose removable lid and one of the waitresses was quick to clean it up for us. She was nice about it, too, like she could've easily copped an attitude with us about it, but didn't. A man next to us said he accidentally did the same thing which makes me think they need to find a different container for that sauce. There's a huge parking lot, so that wasn't a problem. However, the area directly in front of the restaurant and the other shops near it were sectioned off with yellow caution tape for some reason and my sister said it looked like a murder scene, which made me laugh. I'm fairly sure that wasn't the case, but I don't know why they did it. The only reason I knew the restaurant was open for business was because I saw people eating inside through the windows.

The ramen was delicious, and the matcha lychee lemonade was so refreshing! After we finished eating, we ordered dessert and asked to redeem the free mochi ice cream.

After waiting for a while, she came back and told us we couldn't redeem the reward because it had to be done through the app. That was disappointing because we had signed up exactly as we were instructed. I've worked in the restaurant industry, and I understand that sometimes promotions have restrictions. However, I also know that great customer service means finding a solution when a guest follows the directions they were given. Since our waitress watched us sign up, I wish she had honored the promotion or at least spoken with a manager to see if an exception could be made. Overall, the food was excellent, and I'd definitely come back for the ramen and drinks. I just hope they improve their customer service and make sure their staff clearly explains how the rewards program works to avoid disappointing future guests.

I feel the need to stir up some Yelpy interest or we are…read moregoing to lose this (hate to call it this, but it's true) great, hidden gem of a sushi place. Oh no! They have an impressive menu, very diverse. I like that you can order either large sushi rolls, or the smaller, Happy Hour, 5 pc. size so you can try more and not hate yourself as much when you waddle out the door. The rolls are beautifully made, made with very fresh ingredients, the ratio of rice to filling is perfect (i.e. not too much rice), and the rice is nicely flavored. Their tempura has great flavor, the poke salad is outstanding, the miso soup is rich, not watered down, but the biggest "prize" IMHO is the fish collar (kama), either salmon or hamachi. Here is where you separate the men from the boys. They do not sell old kama that has come from a food supplier's bag, frozen. They only use fresh, the same quality as their sushi, because it comes from the same whole fish they have selected to filet for sushi. Taste it and you know you have hit the jackpot. Before they broil it, they simply slather Japanese mayo on it and salt & pepper. There is something about the mayo that makes it sing a whole new tune. The kama is moist, tender, and comes with their tasty, house ponzu sauce. It's a real treat. Bonus points for being very reasonably priced relative to other sushi houses and they tend to be larger as well. To take advantage of the Happy Hour menu, it is available every day of the week. Monday through Thursday until 7pm, Friday through Sunday until 5 pm. It's an abbreviated menu but has great choices, fairly priced. Their service is tops, seating is limited (probably not more than 40), the interior is warm and quaint, and parking is no problem. And don't forget to respond to their friendly farewell with a duplicate, heartfelt "See you tomorrow" as you leave! Enjoy!

    What happened !??? We arrived here 6:30pm and was empty…read more.... uh ohhhh Needless to say we sat down immediately. Our waitress handed us our menus, majority was sushi. We wanted Japanese dinner, you know tempura, Teriyaki beef. Teriyaki chicken The picture tells it all. The beef diced !?!? Guess what it looks like !!!! The salmon was an interesting cut, definitely not filet. And it ALL was BLaNd! No teriyaki sauce and wasn't marinated. Ordered shrimp, assumed it was tempura..... NOT! grilled and again, bland The only item that had some kind of flavor was the vegetables. Adding insult to injury, you should've seen the bill !!!!! The price you pay for what you get ..... disappointed BTW we left at almost 8pm, this was Saturday, and was still empty

    I was hesitant about trying this place as I usually do not gravitate to Japanese food. However, it…read morewas recommended by the front desk person at my hotel and was within walking distance. It is a fairly small dining room. Six booths of four max, six tables of four, and one table for six. No outdoor dining. While I was dining, there were lots of take out orders. I ordered the Golden tiger roll and teriyaki chicken plate with peach soju. I do not eat sushi but decided to get something only a little adventurous. The shrimp tempura, cream cheese and avocado with crab meat was divine. The presentation of the roll was beautiful. I didn't have to worry about the sauces as they were placed upon the top. Thankfully I was able to eat each piece in one bite. The roll was cut into nine pieces. So much more than I thought I would receive. Since I am not used to eating this type of food, I wasn't sure I could safely consume it the following day so I made sure to eat it all. I really enjoyed it. The teriyaki chicken was served on a hot skillet. So flavorful. I took the majority of the chicken and rice for lunch the next day. I came back a few weeks later and it was much calmer. The service was great both times. I would recommend it.
