Locals and visitors alike, in an era of minimalist corporate and AI-shortcutted trend-seeking food places, this is the kind of local owned restaurant you want to protect and keep open at all costs. In the middle of an unassuming strip mall with its own unassuming storefront lies one of the best ramen & sushi experiences I've had in all of OC. And I mean the *entire* experience. The interior had a an authentic and cozy atmosphere with little booths and raised walls, some of which even had curtains for semi-private dining. The Japanese owner was so friendly and after noticing I ordered a negitoro handroll, made us another negi toro nigiri with fresh wasabi garnish and beautifully arranged cucumbers, not to mention it was on the house?! Let me tell you, my wife and I have been to Japan twice and that piece of nigiri was the first time I could compare any piece of sushi in California to that which we had overseas... it was THAT good, like the rice as well had such a fragrant flavor to it that complimented the fish on top. At your typical sushi joint or even an AYCE one you tend to not think much about the sushi rice or even hope for smaller portions of it, absolutely not the case here. Funnily enough we came here for ramen but now I've made it a mission to come back to try the sushi as well. Speaking of ramen, we ordered the tonkatsu red (perfect mild level of spice) and miso ramen, both broths were flavorful and the noodle and meat portions were so generous. The two cuts of pork included in each bowl caught us off guard with how thick they were (other ramen shops serve 2-3 thinner cuts of pork), , but it was marbled nicely and cooked in a way that it was easy to bite off. And as if if the freebie nigiri wasn't enough, they gave us little scoops of vanilla ice cream at the end with the check! Needless to say, entirely worth an extra tip. We will be coming back!! read more

The ramen broth was so tasty and the ramen noodles were perfectly prepared. They gave ua the M-Th Happy hour price on Fri for the Spicy Tuna Crunch Roll. And we got the crunchy dumpling (gyoza). All the items were tasty. We will definitely be returning. Only down note was initially the service was a bit slow but they more than made up for it. read more

Always consistent, always delicious! It was such a nice surprise to see the owner there when we visited. He's always so welcoming, and it made the experience even more special. The food was absolutely amazing! The Garlic Cajun Yellowtail was so flavorful and delicious, and the Black Donkatsu Ramen was just as incredible. We actually drive 30 minutes just to come here, even though we have so many Ramen restaurants to choose from closer to home. That says a lot! There's truly no place like this. Everything is consistently delicious, and we're always excited to come back. Highly recommend! read more

STEPH JUDGEMENT: Great ramen, sushi, and more for everyone! The hubby and I'd learned about this place from a vegan acquaintance and were intrigued enough to make the trek from Long Beach to check it out. Located in an older shopping center, the interior had a clean, pleasant homey traditional Japanese look to it, but it did feel a bit cramped with divider walls. The main attraction for us was their vegan menu, of course, which turned out to be amazingly extensive (they have non-vegan stuff too). Generally, even if a restaurant offers vegan/vegetarian items it feels like a token afterthought, but not here. In addition to the ramen and sushi items we were expecting, there were a bunch we were not, like "meaty" dumplings, fried "shrimp", and "chicken" katsu curry (which I had to try). I was really wowed by this dish; the "chicken" felt like an actual breast meat filet, and the crispy coating was great. The curry was the real star, which had all the right flavors and texture that I remembered. The hubby had the Vegan Ecstasy ramen, which he really enjoyed. It had a delicious creamy broth with broccoli, corn, tofu slices, and delightfully chewy noodles. We also shared a vegan caterpillar roll; couldn't tell what they used for the "eel" (eggplant?), but since the star of caterpillar rolls is the avocado and sauce, it had the right flavor and texture. We were with my non-veg brother and nephew, who shared a salmon roll, CA roll, and spicy pork won tons, which they really liked. According to my brother the wontons were very spicy, with a lot of chili threads on top, so beware. They also gave us some complimentary vegan matcha ice cream at the end (has nuts, fyi), which we thought was a nice touch. The great food, service, and prices so wowed us that we brought my sister and her family here to celebrate some birthdays. I'd called ahead to reserve a table for our party of six, and we were sat at the large semi circle booth at the back. We ordered an assortment of veg and non-veg items and everyone loved the food. This is now our go-to for vegan ramen and Japanese food, especially if we're meeting up with non-veg people. read more

This little hole in the wall is located in a small strip mall & they have an extensive vegan menu. They are often busy but just remember to press the little doorbell button at your table & a server will help you out shortly. I highly recommend starting with the spicy garlic edamame. They are finger-licking good. I also recently tried their vegan jalapeño poppers & those are delicious. I can't remember the names of the vegan rolls that I tried this last time I was there but everything is always delicious. Did I mention they have vegan mochi?! Don't forget to check their yelp page before heading over to get on their waitlist in case they're busy, which they often are. read more

As a vegetarian, I love this place for sushi. It's not just a cucumber, avocado, or veggie roll. It feels as if I'm eating real sushi at a sushi restaurant and ordering whatever I want. They serve both real and vegan sushi here so be sure to clarify. My kids love the crispy ham and cheese My husband likes any of the spicy tuna or the vegan Cajun roll. I like anything with the eel sauce but the crispy chicken roll is good if I don't feel like spicy. The kids enjoy it too. I get the curry on the side because my kids love to snack on the crispy chicken by itself. The service is great here and it's quick too! The place is nice. The parking is good enough, haven't struggled to find parking from the 3 times I've been here. This is my new favorite place. I'm going to be a regular for sure, especially when I'm in town. read more

I've been going to this place since before Covid, it was our #1 ramen spot and then I found out their sushi was delicious as well. They're quick with their service, you can join the waitlist online and it just makes it easier esp when you have a baby. I think I remember before Covid the inside was bigger but nowadays it's cozy and they've got booths and individual tables. We are typically always seated in the booths and I love that. I usually get the Tonkotsu Red and my husband gets the Black, then we'll order the tuna belly nigiri or sashimi. Both are great, love coming here. read more

Dirty grimy signs on the door, dirty windows and a door, a dirty iPad for the waiting lists and spray bottles left on the table greets customers. We signed up on the waiting list then waited outside. Came inside way after multiple tables left and found the wait list ignored, the staffer in chatting. An iPad with a Yelp waitlist is no substitute for a human paying attention to customer and business flow. We, along with our money, left and went to What's Up Men and was promptly seated. read more

My husband and I had no idea where to eat but we wanted to try something with a good rating on Yelp. I saw that Huntington Ramen & Sushi had great ratings so we stopped by. At first I thought it didn't look appealing from the outside but when we walked in we were greeted by Thong which we later found out he was the General Manager. This place is super cute inside and the food was delicious. We loved how the setting was intimate and it even had a curtain for more privacy which made us feel like we were excluded from others and felt like we were completely alone on a date, which was extremely nice! Thong was friendly and gave excellent recommendations on food. We also had Elyse serve us with a smile and such a spectacular personality. Before we left with our full belly's, I made sure to let Thong know that we would be back and how much we enjoyed the super friendly service. I highly recommend both the Ramen & Sushi read more

Great food and service! Ordered the blazing dragon roll, Cajun jalapeño roll, spicy edamame, and pork dumplings. Everything was so fresh and melted in my mouth. While eating the waiter brought fried potstickers for free and mochi with ice cream for my sisters bday. Service was fast and very sweet. Definitely recommend read more

If you're not too much of a ramen and sushi snob and love getting great value and portions, this is your spot!! They also serve some pretty bomb vegan ramen as well! They're located in the same strip plaza as Curry Hut and Pita Hut, which are pretty popular to-go spots. Sometimes it may be difficult to find parking during peak hours but I'd say 80% of the time that I've gone, there's been a couple of spots available. When I'm craving both ramen and sushi but don't want to break the bank, I like going here to see what specials they have. I recently went in January and they had a lunch special where you could choose any bowl of ramen with a choice of select appetizers for $20. My go to ramen here is their Tonkotsu Black but their Truffle Vegan Ramen is a close contender. For the appetizer, I chose the Salmon Skin salad and wow, I didn't expect to receive a full portion! There were ample amounts of salmon skin and it was quite crunchy too. Their sushi rolls are priced competitively compared to nearby sushi spots. Best part is you get complimentary ice cream to complete your meal at the end! Service is pretty quick! They do have a button if you need their attention, so that touch is quite nice. As for the ambience, it's quite cozy. It's not really suitable for large parties as the place is pretty small. read more

Don't let the location fool you! Some of the best food is hiding in the most unexpected places, and Huntington Ramen is proof. Tucked into a sketchy little plaza next to a 7-Eleven is this absolute gem. I love a good hole-in-the-wall, and this one delivered. Our server, Kohei, was fantastic!! He was attentive, friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed without ever hovering. I ordered the Crunchy Roll, takoyaki, and agedashi tofu, and every dish hit the spot. My friends ordered the salmon sushi and a bento, and they were just as happy with their meals. They also have an awesome lunch special: order one sushi roll at full price and get a second sushi roll or side order for half off. Such a great deal! Full disclosure: I almost clocked in for my first shift because I accidentally walked through the kitchen door instead of the restaurant entrance. It was my first visit, and the entrance wasn't very obvious. My only suggestion would be to make the front door a little clearer so future customers don't accidentally become employees. This place came highly recommended by one of my pickiest foodie friends, and now I completely understand why. Great food, great service, and great value. I'll definitely be back! read more

Solid Vegan option in Orange County - went with good friends earlier this week. We shared a bowl of edamame and they ordered vegan sushi rolls, which they enjoyed. I ordered a chashu pork bowl, which was heavy on rice and lettuce but light on pork. I was hungry so polished it off nevertheless. Service by Emma was adequate, and parking was available. Happy to return. read more

It's so good I forgot to take good pictures before we started eating haha! Huntington Ramen is so cozy, relaxing, and serves delicious food. Our server was so kind and attentive. Everything was hot, fresh, and tasty! Veggie croquettes are a must! I've been coming here for years with my family and it never disappoints. It's nice to get a little bit of everything and share. They have a wide variety of food to choose from. Their vegan menu is big as well! Overall, 10/10 highly recommend! read more

Vibes: Trendy, cramped, cute booths and tiny tables for two. Good casual date night Crowd: Busy around dinnertime on weekends (use the Yelp waitlist ahead of time) Menu: 5/5 selection (2 pgs of rolls, lots of other options, full vegan menu) Value for price: 5/5 (better priced rolls than other restaurants, good quantities) Service: Quick, polite Parking: small strip mall, can get crowded Came to Huntington Ramen & Sushi on a Sunday evening around 6:30P. There was no wait at 5:30 when I checked, but when we checked in we waited about 30 minutes. I'd join the Yelp waitlist ahead of time because there's not a great place to wait outside. The ambiance is cute, think cozy and crowded. You have to squeeze by the tables for 2, so if it's a date you'll get people maneuvering around you. Service was quick given the crowd. My boyfriend and I shared the Baked salmon roll first- decadent, saucy, smoky. Tons of baby scallops rolling around on top and lots of crab meat inside. Lovely on a cold day. We then shared the teriyaki bento, which was surprisingly huge- it would have been a large portion for one person with a generous serving of tender chicken/rice, miso soup, edamame, and lightly dressed salad. It's also great for sharing since there are two egg rolls, two crispy wontons, and 6 small California rolls. They finished us off with a small scoop of complimentary vanilla ice cream. Highly recommend for a good, casual dinner! read more

Good food. Peeps get tired tho so sometimes forget things in service. Recommend signing on for fhe wait list before you head there.

We had a VERY disappointing experience. I asked about the happy hour menu and was told it ended at 6, even though the sign and menu both said it was available until 7. We ordered three rolls with soy paper, but they came with seaweed. When they asked if I still wanted them, I explained that wasn't what we ordered. I also had to ask several times for wasabi and our drink. When I mentioned that we'd had a bad experience, they asked what happened, but no one apologized. A simple apology and more attentive service would have made a difference. Don't need to come back ever again. read more

Had a really bad takeout experience through Yelp tonight. The order took a very long time and by the time I got home, I realized I was missing an item. I called the business and was told they were out of the item and that I had been refunded through Grubhub (I ordered through Yelp). Transaction is pending, so I can't confirm that yet, but I haven't received any notice from Yelp about a partial refund in my order. This should have been communicated with me when I was there in person. I could have picked an alternate item, or at the very least been made aware of the refund. It was kind of them to give me a water while I waited, but at one point a gentleman came out and told me it would be a couple more minutes, and it ended up being about almost 15mins longer beyond that point. I am a firm believer in making the customer experience worth it when long wait times, or missing items are a concern. I'm not one to even accept these things; I've worked in food service, and things happen, but it always makes the customer feel special when they are appreciated. I did not feel appreciated for my time, my money spent, or the items that was missing. When I got home, they gave me a laughably small portion of broth for my ramen. I ordered extra noodles, but even before adding the extra noodles, the broth wasn't enough to even cover my meat and noodles. I've eaten at this place dozens of times, but never ordered to go. I never had any of the issues I had tonight, so this is surprising. I will never order takeout from here again. read more

First time eating here after transitioning to a vegan diet and it did not disappoint! The vegan menu is so large and there's so many good options.

Will definitely be coming back! read more

I had the Crazy Diamond Sushi Roll and the Spicy Egg Rolls. The Crazy came with spicy tuna, which I didn't want, and they subbed more crispy chicken for me. Both the dishes were so good! And after we ate, the server brought a small portion of Matcha nice cream sur la maison! I have been here a few times but never wrote a review before. The food is always the same high quality. Sorry the photos are not the entire dish. I was so hungry I forgot to take a picture. read more

We visited here for ramen around 7:30 pm on a Thursday evening. We got seated quickly, and the server brought us waters. She encouraged us to order before the party of seven on the other side of the restaurant. This was really courteous of her, so I appreciated her thoughtfulness. We both got the tonkotsu black ramen ($14.99) and split a crunch roll ($11.99). After our meal, we got a complementary small scoop of vanilla ice cream. The crunch roll tasted delicious, and we had enough to share. I unfortunately didn't enjoy the tonkotsu black ramen. The black garlic oil overpowered the broth and made it taste a little too bitter. However, I enjoyed the noodles, sliced egg, and pork slices. The noodles had a nice texture. I noticed that the pork slices were a little sweet. Overall, the ramen still tasted too bitter for me. I would've wanted the black garlic oil as a more subtle add-on to the tonkotsu broth. While I appreciated the service, the ramen gave me mixed feelings about the restaurant. If I visit again, I'd want to try either the shoyu chicken ramen or their other rice dishes. The rolls are also a good appetizer. The restaurant is also cozy if you want to visit by yourself or with a group of people. read more

We ordered the Alex and the Greedy hand rolls (yes, not sure how they came up with these interesting names...Lol!) and chicken teriyaki bento. We did not have to wait long before the food came, freshly made and very delicious, and just the right temperature and portion size for the price. The service was friendly, and knowledgeable about the menu. Just out of curiosity, we asked about the vegan "chicken" and we were informed that it was soy bean based. They do have a vegan menu as well as a menu for furry, 4-legged buddies. To accommodate dogs, they have outside seating. We went in for lunch, and the interior felt cool and cozy, with subdued lighting that makes you relaxed. Loved the 70s music that was playing (can you hear the theme of Hawaii Five-O?) Note that the outside temp was 92+ degrees this late in October. My only not-so-positive impression is the restaurant front. It is opaque black tinted glass and, if it were not for the outdoor signage and the A-sign, one would miss this gem. They could use some nice Japanese motif branding to make it more inviting. Will come back here again to try some of their other menu items. read more

Biased, vegetarian review: They have a vegetarian menu, and it's lengthy. And delicious. Ramen- delicious. Curry- equally good. Rolls- yup, you guessed it. Delicious. The wait was pretty long, and the place is small. 6ppl is probably the max, and on a Saturday at 6pm, the wait was about 40min. for a party of 4. Well worth it, though. Parking is easy. Service is great. read more

Huntington Ramen Sushi was an unexpected surprise. Being vegan, it's hard to find a Japanese restaurant that has vegan sushi. Most places have the typically avocado roll or vegetable roll. This place has a full on vegan menu and vegan sushi that includes vegan crab, vegan shrimp, vegan eel, vegan chicken, vegan sauces, etc. It's really a hidden gem for vegans that want to enjoy sushi with their non-vegan friends and family. Aside from that, the staff and employees were extremely nice and did not judge me when I ordered four items just for myself! It was a good time. And the ambiance was really charming. I highly recommend this place for vegans and non-vegans alike. AND happy hour on Fridays-Sundays from 3:00-6:00 pm. This place is the best. read more

First off, Tahn(?) and Naomi made the experience a very memorable one. We let them know it was our first time to see what they would suggest and they decided to give us garlic ponzu nigiri as as a welcome dish! How awesome is that? It was just me and my wife, though the place felt a bit small as we were put in the front corner. The staff had to scoot a bit past us but I'd say it was an intimate setting, haha. Larger groups can have the booth, which has curtains that can roll down to serve as a privacy screen. We ordered the fried chicken, egg rolls, salmon sashimi and GB salmon roll. To keep it short, there were absolutely no weak links in our order. I would order all of them again! They also gave us complimentary ice cream as a follow up to our meal. Awesome food with awesome staff. Will come back again! read more

I really appreciate that they have a vegan menu, and the vegan menu is long! It isn't one or two vegan options, like you might find at other places (that's if you are lucky that they have at least one vegan option). This was my second time coming to Huntington Ramen. It wasn't that busy when we arrived. People did start to come in around dinner time, and the ambiance became busier. I come here because of the vegan menu. I love the vegan options available! Here's what I ordered and my review for the vegan items. Vegan Tan Tan 10/10 I ordered this last time and felt like there wasn't enough toppings. This time I did extra everything to make sure it was filling lol I added extra tofu, extra noodle, extra vegan ground meat, added mushrooms, added broccoli, added sprouts, added vegan chicken. With extras and additional toppings, this was amazing!!! It was so flavorful and satisfying. Next time, I will only order this. Vegan Tiger roll and Vegan Caterpillar roll 7/10 These were alright. I think I like the Tiger roll a little more? They tasted bland though. The sushi with some texture is probably better. I would order the Vegan crunch rolls again, maybe. Or just avoid these altogether and just still with the vegan ramen. Vegan Bao 10/10 These were really good! They came out steaming hot. They were huge also lol I liked the bao bun. It was very good. The vegan meat inside was good too. The vegan meat, had a sausage flavor almost? Kind of funny lol It wasn't bad though. Overall, very good ramen! The vegan Tan Tan is my new favorite. My husband loved the meat ramen options. read more

Would I come back again? Mm yea. Straight up. I was going to go to Roll & Grill but that line was WAY too long and this place is across the street so I thought why not. I got the Queen's Salmon (takeout): - 8/10 - Spicy tuna, tempura, avocado roll - Good amount for $15 The server at the door also gave me a bonus to try! Their SSS Roll which seemed like a California roll with salmon, green onion, spicy mayo, and truffle oil/sauce. 9/10 for me! Thank you so much!! read more

I remember at one point this location had moved but I'm so glad they came back to the original spot. I hadn't been here in ages and when I had friends visiting and staying nearby, I jumped at the chance to take them here! My favorite thing is that they have both vegan dishes that are amazing as well as traditional sushi and ramen dishes that are amazing, so it can accommodate various dietary restrictions and is the perfect place for small to medium size groups or date nights. The service was very fast and attentive, they did rush us out of there pretty quickly after we finished so keep that in mind. However, that's totally understandable since they're a small spot and I'm sure it hurts their business if people linger too long :) read more

I really appreciated that they took reservations over the phone. We were looking for a dinner spot while visiting Disneyland and my fellow Yelper's reviews led me to this restaurant. I was thrilled to see their vegan menu and the wide variety of options. It's located in a small strip mall in quite a small space. The staff were friendly and seated us on time and took our orders quickly. We ordered the croquette curry, vegan crunch and the vegan caterpillar roll- they were all absolutely delicious!! I was very satisfied with the umami and blend of flavors in the curry. The vegan sushi was surprisingly tasty and full of delightful textures. They brought out complimentary homemade ice cream- we got the Matcha coconut and wow- was it good. Highly recommend! read more

An incredible local gem with food that easily rivals top vegan spots in LA. I was pleasantly surprised by the full vegan menu. Both the sushi and ramen offer a wide variety of options, and everything we tried was a 10/10. Portions are generous, so I recommend ordering conservatively at first and adding more if needed. The staff was friendly, patient, and very helpful with recommendations. They even brought out a complimentary dish for us to try, which was a great touch. The vegan C.A. Crunch and the Oreo tempura with ice cream were absolutely delicious. Overall, a 5/5 experience with excellent food and service. I cannot wait to return. read more

Came here via friend recommendation, and was not disappointed! I've visited several times, and the service has been consistently friendly and attentive. The restaurant's interior has a classic Japanese-style design and clean. Every time I've gone, there's been no wait and we were seated immediately, though I've heard it can get busy during rush hours. I usually order the Poke Bowl or the Tonkotsu Black. The poke bowl is always fresh, flavorful, and satisfying, and the tonkotsu broth is rich and delicious. I also appreciate that they have a vegan menu, which is actually pretty extensive! While I'm not vegan, several of my friends are, and they've told me their dishes were delicious. This place is a great place to go if you're in the area and you're looking for a spot that offers consistently great food, warm service, and an inviting atmosphere. read more

Those were very tasty and the sauces were very complementary to the texture and flavors. I got the right when they opened and service was good.

I took my vegetarian friend here for her birthday and we were both blown away that there was a whole dedicated vegan menu! The food was all delicious (though to our fault we ordered a lot of very similar rolls). It was my first time trying fully vegan sushi and they were all very flavorful. The textures were great. The garlic edamame was really really tasty too to be honest, probably one of my favorite dishes. My least favorite was the soy paper roll (I forgot what it was called).
