    classic mazesoba & mala mazesoba
    kayla p.

    I always love showing my ramen-loving friends something new. I have not found a menu item here that I do not like! My favorite by far has got to be the classic mazesoba or curry. They recently came out with great deals but I only had the lemon tea which was pretty good. Service was slower because they were really busy but they were pretty friendly.

    I've only ever ordered this place off DoorDash but decided to come in store this time and was happy with my decision. It's pretty close to Mt. Sac and we came in on a weekend around lunch time, and it wasn't busy at all. We got seated immediately and the waiter was able to help us pretty quickly. They do get busy sometimes, but I'd say more so for the delivery or take out orders. I have had mazemen before and this place stacks up pretty well. I love the variety of styles and flavors you can get. I opted for the supreme which had a little bit of everything. When we came, they offered yakitori as well, which I couldn't pass up. The chicken meat balks were pretty tasty. I love the size of the mazemen, super filling and comes with a scoop of rice after that you can mix in to get all the sauce and flavoring. This place is definitely worth it because it's really two meals in one. I always eat the noodles, and then save a bit of noodle and filling for the rice and have a second meal I can take to go with me. Don't forgot to add the vinegar to change up the flavor midway. It's a pretty open space with lots of seating and natural light. pretty good and would definitely come again.

    My husband found this amazing mazesoba restaurant in Walnut and introduced it to me. There are not many restaurants around here that specialize in mazesoba (broth-less sauce ramen), so I was quite excited to check this place out. We had the nonspicy classic mazesoba, which includes minced pork, a poached egg, shredded seaweed, green onion, chives, and garlic. All the various toppings blended very well together. You have to pop the runny egg yolk and mix everything in the bowl to get an extra creamy texture. The toppings combined with the chewy noodles and savory sauce, this was a very delicious dish. In addition, we ordered the nonspicy champion mazesoba, which was recommended to us. It is very similar to the classic mazesoba. The difference is that the champion mazesoba also includes a few pieces of chashu, a marinated egg, and nori. The egg was cooked perfectly, while the chashu was so tender. If you like having a lot of meat in your food, then this is perfect. Something that I really appreciate about this place is that they offer you a small bowl of rice at the end of your meal to soak up any leftover sauce. After eating both the dry noodles plus some rice, we were so stuffed. This was indeed a very fulfilling meal.

    Champion Mazesoba

    When most people think of Japanese food, Mazesoba isn't usually the first that comes to people's minds. Mazesoba Hero is located at a plaza corner just across the way from Mt. San Antonio College in Walnut. And with a solid 400 reviews here on Yelp, many have shared their love for their food. Curious for awhile on Mazesoba, I stopped by to give them a try on a Friday evening around 7:30PM. Walking into the restaurant, all of the tables were full with no open spots in sight. But fortunately there were plenty of spots at the bar and I was seated immediately as a party of one. Looking at the menu, there were a variety of Mazesoba options with different garnishes, meats, and seafood. But for those looking to have something else, Mazesoba Hero also has a selection of ramen. For my first visit, I decided to try their Champion Mazesoba which was $18.59 at the time of the review. Looking at the bowl at first, I wasn't exactly sure of the portion size. For one, the bowl had three pieces of pork belly, minced pork, a poached egg, nori, green onions, and ramen noodles. But upon digging into the dish, I was pleasantly surprised. The amount of ingredients were balanced well in comparison to the noodles. And even after trying to consume all of the food together, I still had some onions and pork leftover. At this point in the meal, a waiter offered me a small bowl of rice to accompany the remaining food. For the close to $19 price tag, this definitely is not a place to come if you're looking for mass quantity of protein. But if you're a person who likes to have balanced meals with curated flavors, the Champion Mazesoba gives the best of different worlds. With the recommendation to add in the chili oil and vinegar, the dish was dynamic to say the least. Beginning with the noodles, the vinegar and chili oil made them slippery and activated a nutty flavor. Combined with the onions and minced pork, the dish became more savory and rich with pork flavor. The nori included a needed crispy part to the dish, and the yolky eggs made the entire dish taste creamy. Of anything in the bowl, I personally enjoyed the pork belly as there was a perfect balance between fat and meat. With a light charred surface, it really made the food taste smokey. For those familiar with ramen, I would highly recommend Mazesoba Hero! With a filling dish for the price, I enjoyed each ingredient together as I did individually. The flavors of the dish were unique and showcased a variety of fresh ingredients. Because of this, I would be happy to return to Mazesoba Hero with a solid four star rating out of five. Great food!

    Get the spicy miso ramen... phenomenal. I crave it, get it, then go right back to craving it again. So good. The yuzu iced tea was good too! Service is good, staff is friendly, and the atmosphere is quiet & nice.

    This was my first time having Mazesoba Hero, and my second time having mazesoba in general. I (unknowingly) walked in about 45 minutes before they closed for lunch, yet the employee was so welcoming and nice. He guided me through the menu, and didn't rush me to order. I ordered the classic Mazesoba, and picked the spicy option. I tried it on its own before adding vinegar and chili oil to my liking. The sauce is extremely rich, so I definitely recommend adding lots of vinegar to help cut through the heaviness of it. They offer a free bowl of rice to mix with the sauce once you're done with the noodles, but I was stuffed after. The noodles were cooked perfectly, and the onsen egg was a great touch to the dish.

    Classic Mazesoba

    A Mazesoba spot in Walnut, had to try it since it's rare to have this type of restaurant around. My wife and I were immediately seated as it wasn't busy when we entered, although busy a bit later. We were guided by Yuki, he was very friendly, and guided us through the menu since it was our first times at this specific spot. Top notch staff, friendly, professional, and very informative. My wife and I ordered the Classic Mazesoba & Champion Mazesoba. (Both non spicy) Both came out pretty fast and the presentation is spectacular. 1. Champion Mazesoba came with 2pcs Chashu, Marinated egg, minced pork, poached eggs, 3pcs nori, shredded seaweed, green onions, chives, and garlic. All mixed together with the ramen noodles creates the perfect dish. It wasn't too salty, and everything mixes just melts perfectly. The noodles were already seasoned well, which makes the mixing extra yummy. 2. Classic Mazesoba came with minced pork, poached egg, shredded seaweed, green onions, chives, and garlic. Cheaper than the champion bowl, less ingredients, but just as tasty. This dish is perfect for customers who like less meat, and loves more simplicity in their mazesoba. Noodles taste very similar despite some of the lacking ingredients Overall, Mazesoba Hero is amazing, service is great, parking is free (popular plaza), food is top quality, and for those who are new or interested in mazesoba type food, this is the perfect place to start. Can't wait to come back to try the other dishes.

    I came here with some friends for a late dinner and my experience here was pretty good! We came close to closing time, so we were a bit rushed, but the servers were pretty nice about it, so we didn't mind. I ordered the Champion Mazesoba at the spicy level and it was tasty! The noodles were chewy and the meat sauce was umami, spicy, and rich. The perfect amount of enjoyable spice for me. When mixed with the soft-boiled egg, it became even more rich and tasty. Towards the end to cut some of the richness, I added some vinegar which was nice. There's also chili oil at the tables if you wanted to make your mazesoba even spicier. The pork pieces in it were okay, nothing special about them. I also enjoyed adding the rice at the end to soak up all of the rich sauce. Overall, the dish with all the components mixed together was enjoyable. The prices are are also very good with the different mezesobas ranging between $14-$19. The interior was spacious and the decor was fun. The bathroom could've been cleaner. For parking, this restaurant is located in a plaza shared with other businesses, so there's ample parking. This was a solid restaurant and I would come back again regularly if I lived nearby.

    mala beef tantan, spicy miso, ocean, side of eggs

    i came in with my parents on a friday night and was greeted with clean and cool decor !! they were not busy at the moment, so i was wondering why ?? since this place is soooo good. however, the crowd soon started coming in. before that, i called in and the staff was helpful, welcoming any questions. they are always so attentive and enthusiastic. i got the ocean mazesoba, which is my usual, i highly recommend this one !! in the mazesobas, they are super generous with their toppings. additionally, my parents really liked their bowls too. at the end, they give a free scoop of rice. which is really yummy when you mix it in with the leftover toppings after you are done eating all the noods. this is everything you would want in a meal on a friday night !!

    I was supposed to go to Poki and Maki but apparently they closed so I tried this place out. We ordered 4 different dishes. All of which were tasty. The complimentary rice was really able to soak up the remaining sauce. The vinegar and oil complemented the noodles really well. Service was excellent. The place is clean and inviting. Try it out

    spicy miso mazemen
    Celine D.

    i was craving aburasoba and i saw this place so decided to check it out - the interior was spacious and there were a lot of seatings - i got the spicy miso mazemen (4.7/5). the flavor was very strong and spicy which i indeed liked. the pork was tender and the toppings all paired together greatly with the noodles. i also added a bit of their house made chili oil which was on the table but couldn't really taste it since my mazemen was already spicy haha. they do ask if you want rice at the very end to soak in with the sauce but i skipped out on that since i was already feeling full. - the servers were attentive and polite overall, this place satifised my cravings and would love to come back here again.

Service was attentive throughout our visit, and we took advantage of their summer special, which offered 50% off a second Premium Gyukatsu Set with the purchase of one. **Premium Gyukatsu Set: 4/5** Made with American-style Wagyu prime short rib, the gyukatsu was incredibly juicy and tender, with beautiful marbling throughout. A coating of fine panko breadcrumbs formed a golden-brown, crispy crust, creating a satisfying crunch with each bite. The set came with a personal tabletop grill, allowing you to sear each piece to your preferred doneness for an interactive dining experience. Accompanying the gyukatsu were rice, miso soup, and several small sides, with the shredded cabbage standing out for its refreshing contrast to the richness of the fried cutlet. The corn salad, however, felt somewhat like an afterthought and wasn't particularly well executed. An assortment of seasonings and sauces was also included to pair with the meat. The specialty salts complemented the beef especially well, while the gyukatsu sauce had a light, savory flavor with a subtle sweetness that enhanced its natural character. The only miss was the wasabi sauce, which was dominated by an overwhelming horseradish taste. **Takoyaki: 4/5** The takoyaki had a delicately crisp exterior that gave way to a molten, creamy center. Each piece contained a sizable portion of octopus, while the bonito flakes on top added a smoky umami depth that paired nicely with the generous drizzle of mayo and takoyaki sauce. Kobe Gyukatsu delivered an enjoyable meal, with the quality of the dishes and tableside grilling among the main highlights. There's certainly enough here to warrant a return visit.
