Walked in and greeted with a smile! Smells like Bbq. We ordered Ramen pork belly and two meat ribs and brisket plate with chili beans and Mac n cheese to share. Food is ordered at counter but delivered to your table. They offer slushees. Strawberry, passion fruit and a green version. lol forgot flavor Everything was very flavorful. Since we had all three smoked meats I thought they tasted the same. Beans were too Smokey tasting. Mac n cheese can never go wrong. Chili oil is hotttt! Country music is playing in the background. The place is really clean. So is the restroom There's about four tables with chairs and a bar seating with about five chairs in the back.
Always love coming to this place, not only for the mouth watering fully packed bowls of ramen, but also for the friendly service by the owners and the clean open spaced ambiance. We've tried all flavors of ramen, but my personal favorite is the Mr Tonkatsu. I just add a very tiny bit of the complimentary chili oil (be careful cuz this stuff is no joke) and I feel like it is the perfect flavor savory and spice! The Spicy brisket is also really good, but also already pretty spicy on its own. Also, ramen noodles are made fresh in house every morning! We usually get the crispy crunchy chicken karrage as an appetizer, but we decided to go with the juice gyoza today! A nice place to stop in for a quick ramen fix!!!
Have seen so many people talk about how amazing the bbq is so my husband and I stopped in today. Unfortunately the first red flag for me was them using a microwave to heat up my food. We ordered the brisket, pork belly, Mac n cheese and chili beans. The brisket had good flavor, was tender and juicy but still needed bbq to give it that extra kick. The pork belly was okay but greasy in my opinion The Mac n cheese was inedible. It was literally buttered noodles with barely any flavor with cheese and oil floating at the bottom of the dish. The chili beans had amazing flavor but unfortunately the beans weren't cooked! They were still very chewy not cooked through all the way. I wanted to like this place so bad but unfortunately it fell flat.
This place is definitely a hidden gem. It's located in a strip mall with ample parking. Restaurant is a bit misleading though, because the signage on the windows, states BBQ. I had to do a double take to ensure I was at the right location. Apparently, the restaurant also serves BBQ in addition to the ramen. Restaurant was very clean and menu is quite simple. The restaurant owner was extremely friendly and helpful with helping me choose a ramen bowl. I settled for the Shoyu Chashu ramen bowl. It consisted of a soy sauce bone broth with thick cut Chashu. Chashu is a popular Japanese dish made of slow braised pork belly. The broth was a bit spicy but I still added some chile oil to kick it up a notch. The pork belly had just enough fat to lend some extra flavor to the broth. The pork belly had some smokey flavor and it complemented the broth nicely. The ramen noodle are handmade and made fresh by the owner. The gyoza served hot and very flavorful. Overall, I recommend this restaurant and I look forward to eating here again.
Ramen in Hanford? This place does pretty well. It's kind of fusion ramen, they use smoked brisket, corn and cilantro in the bowl but it works. The noodles and broth were authentic and delicious. It's family owned and the service was great. Clean restaurant that shares space with a bbq spot. Give it a try, you won't be disappointed.
The food tastes really oily, and cheap. The image of the food looks good but taste wise it's whatever. It's very pricey for the quality of food you get. I wouldn't really go again.
Hands down some of the best ramen I've had. Broth is savory and packed full of flavor. Noodles and everything else is just so damn good. Pork gyoza is solid and the sauce they give just helps to compliment it. Wait staff is nice and friendly and the environment is just perfect for this place. I had a few of my co workers bbq and it was solid for sure! Give it a try and get fat like I did with the ramen!
Decided to try this little ramen spot out since it's right next to little Caesar's. And who doesn't like ramen? Ramen was so good we came back twice, and when we came back they added bbq to their menu. So of course we had to try that too. Let's just say everything we've gotten so far is good and definitely worth a try. The shop is ran by two elderly couple (I assume, I didn't ask). Seems to be family owned and they are so sweet. Food doesn't take too long to come out either. The meats are very tender and juicy.
Surprisingly tasty ramen in a small town. Personally found the classic ramen to be tastier than the other noodle dishes. I've done only take out and everything was always packed well. The owner is extremely nice and passionate about her work. 10/10 for service. It should be noted that the toppings were fresh for both noodle dishes. However hardboiled egg wouldn't be my preferred option and I hope they consider changing it to soft boiled. *Mr. Tonkotsu: bone broth with thick cut chashu. Creamy and beef soup with perfectly al dente noodles. The chashu was sweet and tender. The meat quality and execution had to be in my top 3 of all chashu. *Summer Brisket: sweet cold buckwheat noodles with smoked brisket. The buckwheat noodles were chewy and stretchy. The brisket had intense smoky flavor and was similarly tender. The only issue was the broth being cloyingly sweet. I wished there was vinegar or mustard to provide a depth in flavor and to offset the sugar. A gem in Hanford and the folks are lucky to have a such a tasty spot for lunch and dinner.
First time at Kuma Ramen and it did not disappoint! I knew I wanted the miso ramen but really wanted the bbq chicken curry so that's what I subbed for with the miso. I'll tell you it was a brilliant decision. Add the chili oil on top and it was chefs kiss. The miso broth was perfectly salty and savory all the veggie ingredients were fresh and added a nice crunch. The bbq curry chicken was tender and delicious. I'll be back
Okaasama is doing her thing at this Ramen spot. I loved seeing her incredible noodle making machine and all the 50 lb bags of flour stacked up. You can taste and feel the love in her noodles and broth. Nothing is better than a bowl of Ramen! I loved it!!! And she's making her own gyoza wraps! Most places just use frozen ones. Everything was delicious!!!! Thank you Okaasama!!!

I chose this restaurant for our meal while visiting family, because I expected my dad would be happy with either shrimp tempura or bbq. I mainly came for the brisket and to avoid going to a chain restaurant and to get a taste of what Hanford, CA has to offer. I already reviewed Holy Smokes BBQ which was pretty good and hopefully they'll have even more options in the future. Here I'll focus on the more Asian menu. I was tempted to order ramen and if I do come back, I'd go for the tonkotsu ramen or the spicy brisket. We instead ordered shrimp tempura, pork buns and a bunch of slushies. Shrimp tempura was pretty standard, but my dad enjoyed it. The buns were pretty good. They had more soup inside than I expected so mine fell apart. We also really enjoyed the slushies. I'm pretty sure they're artificial or from concentrate. We had strawberry, two passionfruit (which had the pulpy seeds, and honeydew. I've been on a lilikoi(passionfruit) binge since my Hawaii trip three years ago and lately I've been getting lame drinks from Taco Bell always hoping against the impossible. The slushie wasn't the best ever, but it's so much better than fast food chains. And actually the honeydew tasted like honeydew and might have been more refreshing. What I would like to see in the future is something else for the dishes. While it makes sense to have food served in styrofoam and plastic dishes...it's not environmentally friendly. Sugarcane is an option that is compostable and becoming more common. Or since we came for table service, maybe some actual plates that can add to the ambiance. If you order ramen you do get a non-disposable bowl of some sort and the buns were served in a traditional bamboo steamer. But it would have been cooler if the brisket was served on a slab of wood. Or a metal tray. The owner was very friendly and it's clearly a family-owned, family-operated restaurant. I'd recommend checking this out for a group that enjoys America - where else can you order tempura shrimp, pork buns, brisket, and a side of mac 'n' cheese? I want some Asian-fusion coleslaw! Disney has an Asian-fusion coleslaw with sambal chili that is pretty darn good. read more
Wanna start by saying that I really wanted to love this place because the owners are so nice, and the service was great. I came to pick up my order, and I felt like they knew their customers. There's a couple seats inside but not sure if a lot of people actually dine in. Unfortunately, their ramen just left a lot to be desired. The chashu pork and broth are okay but felt like they needed more flavor. The egg was definitely overcooked. Being the only actual ramen place in Hanford, I get why people rate it higher. I'd just rather get my ramen fix when I visit socal or the bay. read more

I came here and got the gyoza, Tonkatsu, and the Spicy Kuma. The gyoza was fried nicely and came with a sweet dipping sauce. The tonkatsu had good flavor and the pork was nicely grilled. I loved the spicy kuma but the broth is spicy so beware. The fried chicken that comes with the spicy kuma is amazing and perfectly fried. The owner is a very sweet lady. The inside is a cute modern ramen place. read more

Clean, modern vibe. Wood tables. It's a small space, but one of the tables is long and can seat 10 people (the other 4 tables are four-tops). Dishes are around $15 and sides are $8. There are 8 ramen choices and fourside choices. I had the Mr. Tonkatsu, the Summer Brisket (the cold one) and the Karrage. Everything was very tasty. The chashu was generous and delicious and the fried chicken was boneless, crispy, and there was lots of it for $8. I'm glad Kuma came to Hanford. Would definitely go back. read more
Solid place for Ramen. I decided to try this restaurant out after reading about it on Yelp and had a craving for some soup. I ordered the Mr Tonkatsu for here and the Spicy Kuma to go and though I haven't tried the spicy yet the Mr Tonkatsu was on point. A nice rich broth with noodles and a healthy sized pork belly made this a nice well rounded ramen. I may increase to 5 stars in the future if they prove to be consistently as good. read more

My wife wanted me to try out this new business establishment that recently open up in the area. Honestly I had never tried authentic Ramen noodles before. Mostly the instant ramen at home lol... But I'm sure the quality will definitely be better and different. The business is located next to Little Caesars Pizza or in the Foodsco Shopping Plaza. Can't really miss it! Right away upon entering the business, they had simple menu to order from, I wasn't quite sure what to try and order. The owner was very helpful and recommended to try their spicy ramen with Brisket beef. My wife ordered some Gyoza appetizers on the side since she wasn't really that hungry. Our order was quick and food came out within 5 to 10 minutes of waiting. Everything was hot & fresh. My spicy brisket ramen was very flavorful and not too spicy. I actually enjoyed it and will definitely will try out this location again. read more

Kuma Ramen is a treat to eat here! I wasn't expecting the noodles to be house-made here and made every day in house!! They have a Yamato Richmen Gold noodle machine made in Japan here. I ordered Shoyu Chashu ($15.50)- Soy sauce Bone broth w/ Thick cut Chashu. And when they say Thick Cut- it is a Thick Cut!! Very tender, juicy, and flavorful! The noodles were good and also had mushrooms in the broth. Salad Chicharrone ($ 7.50- base is cabbage, cilantro topped with cucumber, red peppers and mushrooms. The surprise is the chicharrone as I was surprised to see that here! There is a beverage cooler that has Japanese sodas and Japanese beverages in it as well as domestic sodas, tea, and water bottles. The owner is very friendly and helpful with the menu when ordering. She will come out from the counter to help you decide and describe the menu items which is a short simple menu but that is good because what is here is good. She moved down here from Colorado and opened this restaurant in May 2024! Since I came in around 2:00 and there weren't too many customers after she brought my order to the table she chatted about her business and showed me pictures from her friend in Japan that has a farm. There are a few tables for 4, a long table for 10-12 that would be good for a dinner party and a counter with chairs that is good for single customers. The chairs are heavy wood & metal, that I liked because they are sturdy! The only complaint is they don't offer water so if you want water you have to buy a water bottle out of the cooler! That is one reason for a deduction in a Star. Come down and try these noodles! read more

I almost went to the back of the kitchen and kissed the chef. This was incredible from vibe to food Any ailment I previously had plaguing me is now cured with this bowl of Spicy Brisket ramen. The owner was so incredibly sweet! read more
I really liked my curry ramen today. It was the first time I had ever eaten curry ramen and it was very good. It was huge and I will probably be eating the rest for lunch tomorrow. The service was great. The cashier and the cook were very nice. It was very clean inside with individual tables on one side and then group seating on the other side. read more
