The food here is delicious. The fried gyoza is crispy and the ramen has so much flavor.

Delicious food and warm ambience! I really enjoyed the black garlic ramen. The staff is attentive and kind.

Got the black garlic ramen and gyoza, it was great! 10/10 recommend. skibbidi

Came here with my friend on a whim because we were craving tonkotsu ramen. The place is beautifully decorated and right as we walked in we were greeted with a kind face and smile. We loved that they have a build your own ramen option! I got tonkotsu, with (firm) thin noodles and four included toppings - a steal for only $13.95 before tax. We also got spicy tuna crispy rice and sea salt edamame, both were equally delicious. Our server, Linda, was super attentive and accommodating! Overall, would 100% come back if I was back in the area! read more

Do not go to this place unless you want food poisoning and bad service. I got food poisoning from the California roll. Another person in my party got food poisoning from the black garlic. They tell people that they will give a discount from the check if we all leave five star reviews. This is bribery. I don't know how they've gotten away with this for so long. They also did not put any sweetener in another person in my party's Thai tea. Service was very slow. read more

Mid at best. I feel like there are better ramen options in OC. Definitely skip the sushi here--the tuna tasted hella fishy, and some of the rolls are deep-fried and stuffed with imitation crab. Service was good and the ambiance was casual. Would I come back? Probably not. But if you're in the area and just want a quick bowl of ramen, it's not the worst option. read more

We found this small ramen restaurant and started with some gyoza, both fried and pan grilled and both delicious! Next up was the Philly roll and pork fried rice. And I think my favorite was the Ramen. We built our own with Takatsu broth, thin noodles, chashu, green onions, mushrooms, egg and crunchy garlic. The restaurant itself self was cozy and inviting and the staff was excellent. Thanks for a wonderful afternoon. read more

Ordered DoorDash and it was packaged horribly. The ramen soup spilled all over and the spicy ground pork rice's oil leaked all over. It was a complete mess read more

Came here for a late dinner. The place is clean and there is plenty of seating. The service was not the best. You have to flag down the staff if you need something but they also tend to hang out towards the back so they can't easily see you. It took a while to get water refills. We ordered edamame and hanano bun to start. For our entree, we got the build your own ramen. Edamame- Served hot and fresh. Just the right amount of seasoning. A pretty solid starter. Hanano Bun- The bun is soft and fluffy. Filled with juicy meat and crunchy vegetables. Everything is flavorful. Build Your Own Ramen- I appreciate the customizability! I got my ramen with chashu which isn't the best. The meat is a bit dry. They didn't give me enough broth and I would have liked a better ramen to noodle ratio. The tonkotsu broth is creamy though. I added corn, woodear mushroom, roasted garlic, and spinach which added extra textures and flavor. Decent experience but improvements can be made. read more

Order by QR code at table. + Built my own bowl w tonkotsu, chicken breast, corn, green onion, wood ear mushroom, and half soft boiled egg ($13.95 + $4.50 Chashu). Thick noodles were soggy and not al dente or good, broth had clumps of whites (solidified fat?). Chicken breast was good, toppings good, Chashu ok read more

I came to spend the afternoon at Chapman and I was looking for dinner options. There's a lot of choices and Hanano stood out because of their affordable prices. I ordered the build your own ramen with miso broth, chashu, seaweed, broccoli, and mushrooms. The ramen was a great portion and had great flavor. They give plenty of each topping so the meal is very filling. What was really amazing was the service. Linda was our server and she elevated the experience with her friendliness and attentiveness. read more

I visited Hanano last week for a quick lunch with some old coworkers, and it was pretty good! I had the red garlic ramen which was a good portion size. I will say the noodles were a little undercooked though, not a huge deal but I wish there was an option to indicate softness like some other locations. The vibe of this place is quiet, tucked away and private. We felt like we could have a conversation in peace, which was an interesting (but good!) experience. read more

Ordered the egg roll appetizer and build your own ramen and it was so yummy!! I did tonkotsu with spicy pork, bean sprouts, broccoli, corn, and green onions. The broth was rich and flavorful and the pork added a nice heat. I also loved the egg rolls. We ordered delivery and the egg rolls were still nice and crispy when they arrived. Everything was so yummy! I will definitely be back read more

The food was very good, I enjoyed the spicy miso broth. Our server was also very nice and helpful describing the different items on the menu and the different combinations that we could make. Overall, for my first time in Old Town this is a really good ramen spot and I'll definitely visit again! read more

Great ramen for a great price and in great location in the orange circle! Definitely will be coming back!

Excellent service, great atmosphere, delicious food! I had a build your own ramen, as well as the dumpling appetizer. Both were very delicious! Our server was very nice and timely. Me and my family will be back. read more

I tried Hanano Ramen and overall had a really good experience. The ramen itself was flavorful, especially the broth--it had a rich, savory taste without being too heavy. I liked that you can customize your bowl, which makes it easy to get exactly what you want. The portions were solid for the price too. read more

They have been asking people to write good reviews and give them 5 stars for discounts. Do NOT be fooled. The service was not that great honestly, it just felt like the waiter was not attentive because my tea was not sweet at all but my friends tea was overly sweet? I would have understood if it were a busy night but it was my group of 3 plus another group of 2 people in the corner of the restaurant. The food was good but I just think its weird to ask customers to give the place a great review when they can not give a great service back. read more

Always good! The crispy chicken and pork belly ramen is a favorite!! Great service and very good atmosphere. A frequent spot for me and my girl! read more

Very good! Parking was on the street but we had no issues finding any. The inside is decorated nicely, feels very authentic. Service was fast & friendly. I got the black garlic ramen which was delicious. Generous portion sizes too. Prices were very fair. Would definitely come back. read more

Me and My Husband absolutely used to love this place!! and the atmosphere is pretty good. It's a cozy little restaurant.! if you're wanting Ramen and not wanting to wait a long time, this is definitely the place to go!! I do have to say the recipe changed a bit. So when you order your food, make sure to order some salt too and salt it to your taste.. it's cute place for a little romantic dinner or cozy for a cold night!! I recommend going on Mondays there's this one girl that works there. I don't remember her name but she is absolutely amazing and she said she only works Mondays! read more

The service was great! No long wait times and our server was quick with our orders. Had a good variety on their food and drink menu as well. Would definitely come back for more. read more

Awesome! It was delicious 10/10 would come back! Got the tonkatsu build your own. My family and I loved it

It was pretty mid. The restaurant it self is pretty stylish and very clean. So we got a app, on the menu it says "fried chicken (6)" so I thought this would be actual pieces of chicken like maybe wings or something, but no it was this plate of mini pebbles, that didn't taste that good and the texture was weird. One bowl had pork belly, now usually when it's a cut of meat like that, they would maybe fried it but no it was more of a boil, and it was mostly fat. The broth was very tasty but I was most excited about the pork belly so that was a disappointment. We also got another bowl, and it was ground beef as the protein, and it didn't say ground beef. Overall, the service was super friendly and quick, but for the price, everything was mid. read more

One of the Worst Dining Experiences - Valentine's Day Ruined My wife and I visited Hanano Ramen on Valentine's Day, hoping for a nice dinner since we had a gift card from friends. Unfortunately, the experience was nothing short of awful. Despite plenty of open tables, we waited far too long just to be greeted and seated. Once we finally sat down, we were told to order through a QR code on the table--with zero explanation or assistance. We even had to ask for basic things like water. When we tried to use our gift card, the server (who said she was the shift lead) had no clue how to process it. She told us to go ahead and order anyway and that she would "try" to apply it at her kiosk. After finishing our order and meal, surprise--she couldn't get it to work and told us to contact Toast support ourselves. How is a guest supposed to contact a third-party support line for a gift card issued by the restaurant itself? Completely unacceptable. In the end, we paid with our credit card just to get out of there. To make things worse, the food itself was subpar--bland broth, overcooked noodles, and zero depth of flavor. For a place that calls itself a ramen restaurant, that's inexcusable. This place needs serious improvement in training, customer service, and food quality. We left frustrated, disappointed, and still holding a useless gift card. Absolutely would not recommend Hanano Ramen to anyone. read more

Hanano Ramen, was a last-minute change because I got tired of waiting for the restaurant across the street--the line was just too long! And I'm so glad I did! We decided to head home so ordered takeout. The package was perfect and generous. I was impressed with the pretty chopsticks (not the plain, standard ones). The staff was friendly and the place had a laid-back vibe. The broth was flavorful, a bit greasy, and great depth (comforting to drink). The noodles were cooked just right. For the noodles, you can choose "standard" or "thick". Frankly, I ordered one of each but couldn't tell the difference. My toppings were simple as I want a good bowl of ramen to satisfy my hunger. :) Perfect for a casual meal. read more

To be truly honest, sorry to say it was way below my expectations. We ordered Build own ramen, we can choose 4 items per menu. I picked green onions, bean sprouts, bamboo shoots and seaweeds. Green onions were fine. Bean sprouts were overcooked, Bamboo shoots were not marinated with shoyu/mirin/sake/sugars, pure bamboo color from a can. Seaweeds were nori cut by small 4 pieces, I was expecting wakame seaweeds. Fried rice was not hot, tastes like microwave cooked. Crispy chicken (8 pcs) per menu, my expectation was Kagaage Japanese style, but it could obviously described as Popcorn chicken!! Not 8 pcs, popcorn sized small pieces of fried chicken. I asked the server that the menu says 8 pcs? She said "Yeah, it was changed". So you don't inform the change when she took our order??? She also said"Is that ok?" Hey we haven't tried even ONE PIECE of chicken. This restaurant seems like serve foods not followed by the menu description without advance explanation. Sorry but I don't think we will come back again. read more

Got the build your own ramen to go. It was good ramen, but nothing really special. Since it was to go, I appreciate them separating the broth. Their egg was cooked to perfection, but the overall flavor was a bit bland 8/10. The place is quaint and cozy. I'll give them another try for dine in and try out their spicy ramen, which might have a better kick to it. Overall it was good, so I'll give them another try. read more

Hanano Ramen - Ramen Near Me - Orange, California

My friends wanted to eat at this ramen shop before our movie so I agreed on coming. Parking was really difficult to find and I ended up getting a spot behind the strip. I ordered the chicken ramen which arrived within 10 minutes of ordering. The soup was super bland. I was expecting at least some kind of chicken stock soup but it tasted like water. The chicken pieces were so overcooked I felt like I was biting into cardboard. The only saving grace of this was the noodles which even then weren't that chewy. I was just happy it wasn't mushy. Overall, the ramen was bad. This tasted like a westerner's poor attempt of copying ramen. I would not recommend my friends to eat here. For almost $16, I rather drive out farther and have actual ramen instead of whatever bootleg noodle soup this is. read more
