This was my first time having mazesoba and it was a great experience. I had the classic one. So tasty! I would return to try other mazesoba options. Food comes out a bit slow. Server is very helpful and attentive! Ambience is nice for small to medium groups. read more

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 !! read more

Mazesoba Hero - mala beef tantan, spicy miso, ocean, side of eggs - Ramen Near Me - Walnut, California

Was out in the area and looking up ramen options, saw Mazesoba Hero and figured why not, it's been a while since I've had Mazesoba. Decently sized place with a bar setup and a few tables scattered around the room while service was quick and attentive. Table condiments are vinegar and more of a mala spiced oil. I ordered the Champion spicy and it was great. Poached egg in the center was perfect, pork was tender and noodle texture was perfect. Don't forget to ask for the bowl of rice when you're ready at the and as well. Overall, would recommend. read more

Mazesoba Hero - Ramen Near Me - Walnut, California

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. read more

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! read more

Mazesoba Hero - Champion Mazesoba - Ramen Near Me - Walnut, California

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Mazesoba Hero (Walnut) deeply impressed me. Its broth-less, bouncy, well-sauced, and fresh noodles bombarded me into an unadulterated moment of pure bliss. I break into a bright smile as I reflect on that extremely satisfying, savory meal. I ordered the Ocean Mazesoba ($16.99) and this seafood themed dish is phenomenal. The Ocean Mazesoba is served in a deep bowl with a hefty amount of noodles and ingredients. Its sauce was light, but it kept these noodles continually moist and springy. This light sauce is not too salty, instead sharing a light egg, garlic, savory flavor. Its aftertaste is reminiscent of sprinkled dried seafood seasoning. On top, two plump shrimp tempura rest; its outer layer brings that perfect light crunch. Deep in its bowl, corn kernels and seaweed also share a welcomed flavor contrast. And most impressively, the meal's shredded imitation crab is bountiful and fresh. Together it all creates a deep harmony of flavors and textures. I arrived at Mazesoba Hero (Walnut) on Thursday (around 11:20AM). It's located by the plaza near Mt. San Antonio College. Plaza's parking lot is big but busy. I was seated immediately. As mentioned prior, I ordered the Ocean Mazesoba ($16.99). My server (AJ) is quick and knowledgeable. The food arrived in 12 minutes and 13 seconds. Quick! Mazesoba Hero (Walnut) has decent ambiance. The location is well-ventilated (very chill), and it's very clean. The light upbeat music is very cozy. Unfortunately, the constant buzzing from the drink fridge near the counter is a little bothersome. Despite that, Mazesoba Hero (Walnut) felt very welcoming. And I noticed its clientele included many college students with backpacks. Overall, Mazesoba Hero (Walnut) offered a brilliant, satisfying meal experience. I absolutely adored my noodle dish; its quality, huge-portion, and phenomenal flavors and textures had overflowing me with joy. If you love noodles, I whole heartedly recommend. 5 out of 5 read more

Happy that there's finally a mazesoba spot in Walnut! I came on a Thursday night & it wasn't too busy, which was nice. If you've never tried mazesoba before, it's a dry-style ramen that comes without broth. Instead, the flavor comes from a rich sauce made as you mix the noodles with toppings like soft-boiled eggs, minced pork & other toppings. I had the Supreme Mazesoba, which came with marinated pork rib, minced pork, a poached egg & toppings. The noodles were bouncy and chewy, thick, perfect texture. Once mixed, the minced pork & soft egg turned into a creamy-umami savory sauce that clings to every bite. The pork rib was juicy and tender. Also tried the Champion Mazesoba, which included two pieces of chashu, a marinated egg, minced pork. The chashu was incredibly soft and flavorful, and the marinated egg had the perfect jammy center. If you like ramen but want to try something a little different, this is the spot. Mazesoba Hero brings a flavorful, satisfying twist on Japanese noodles and I'm definitely coming back. read more

The price is definitely affordable to starving students here so that's a plus! I ordered the veggie curry which I really like the flavor and curry sauce but just did not quite get the uncooked tomatoes and white onion in it. Made me wonder what would make them put that on. Perhaps change that to mushroom and spinach instead! Sat at the bar and service was good. Plenty of seating inside only. The portion of their soup less ramen were also good. If you do want the soup base ramen, they do have them here as well so don't be deterred. Good noodles at best. read more

After passing by this restaurant many times, my partner and I finally decided to give it a try and boy, we were not disappointed. We came around 8pm and there was no wait time so we were seated immediately. It was relatively quiet for a weekday but it made our dining experience more of an intimate vibe. Our waiter gave us excellent recommendations given that this was our first time there and after placing our orders, the food came in within 13 minutes. The food came out nice and hot and given we were quite hungry, we knocked down our bowls and entrees under 15 minutes. The rib was nice and tender, reminiscent of a Thai BBQ spare rib and the pork belly was super flavorful. The karaage was also nice and crispy too! The noodles were definitely a highlight too as they were soft and paired perfectly with the meat. I don't know how we missed this spot over the years but it'll now be a staple for whenever we're craving noodles. read more

Okay, why did I wait so long to come here?!?! Restaurant has been here for 4 years! So mazesoba was amaaaaaxing. Basically it's ramen without the broth but the broth can be ordered on the side. The ramen is so flavorful. The meat is very tender. You also get a bowl of rice at the end of your meal to soak up all the juices and flavors. Our server was so helpful and friendly. The restaurant is immaculate and I can see that it could get crowded on a weekend. This is a definite place to visit. I can't wait to come back! read more

Had this place bookmarked for a while and finally got to try it. Sadly, it wasn't as good as expected. Ordered the Tonkotsu Ramen, Champion Mazesoba, Karaage, & Takoyaki. The ramen broth was too salty, the mazesoba wasn't as flavorful, and the takoyaki was alright. The best dish was the Karaage with the dipping sauce. We arrived at a good tike when it wasn't too crowded. However, there was a slight wait for our food to arrive. Quick and nice service. There was no AC inside so expect to sweat a lot on a hot day. They're located in the plaza across from Mt. Sac College. read more

I was craving mazesoba and this place did not disappoint! Stopped by on a Saturday around noon and there was no wait so we were seated immediately. There are about 8 tables inside and some bar seating. The workers were super friendly and service was great. The waitress who took our order was helpful in explaining their menu and recommending some options. A different waiter kept checking in on us and offered refills on our water often. He even asked about our Thanksgiving/Black Friday (since we came that weekend), which I thought was friendly of him haha. I tried the spicy miso mazesoba which was so delicious and creamy. Mix everything together and you get a bowl that is full of strong and savory flavors. It's not super spicy but it definitely has a kick. The texture of the noodles was thick and chewy. The meat was perfectly tender. The mazesoba did get a bit salty with each bite, but the flavor was still really tasty overall. They offer a small bowl of rice at the end to mix with the leftover sauce. I was stuffed at the end and didn't get the chance to do so, but it still tasted as good when I took my leftovers to go. I'd come back if I was in the area! read more

Super delicious mazeman style ramen! Really flavorful and hearty & they definitely added so many delicious toppings!

The karaage and sauce was so delicious. First time trying "brothless ramen" and it didn't disappoint. It was definitely a different flavor profile than I expected. It was packed with so much flavor it took me a while to figure out what was going on and if I liked it or not. The portions here were enough. If you finish and have sauce at the end of the bowl, they give u a bowl of white rice to mix in and enjoy. Overall, I think I'll comeback to try their seafood mazesoba and I'll definitely get that karaage again. read more

I am in love with Mazesoba Hero. Their Mazesoba ranging from $15 is the best. It is home-made, perfect chewiness, and appropriately seasoned. Non overbearing taste. My go to is the Spicy Curry Mazesoba and chicken karaage. Monday-Thursday 11 am-230 pm is their happy hour, and we can choose either ramen or rice (saikoru, classic, or curry) with either broth or can of soda for $11.99. That is a very sweet deal. Service always on point and attentive. Usually it is only one server but she is quick and efficient. The interior decor also simple and cozy. There is a whole wall of Japanese art drawing that my kids love to interpret differently each time they see it. One time I took my dear friend (whose not familiar with different types of Japanese food, and never know about Korean bbq or any type of Asian food culture), and he commented that it was a bit much for his taste. So it is kind of an acquired taste, but heck, I LOVE IT! I could eat here everyday! read more

We got the pork bone broth for $2 just to try it wasn't anything crazy. Glad I live relatively close because the next one is Wadaya in Fullerton. Would recommend read more

I've had mazesoba before at Menya Hanabi so I knew what it generally tastes like. When we arrived, there were no seats left as we had a large party of 8. As we were exiting the restaurant, the waiter stopped us and said they opened up a table for us. They relocated a small party of 2 to the booths so we could sit at the larger table (which they combine, which was interesting but also appreciate how they responded so quickly. I ordered the classic so I can compare the two restaurants and let's just say, this was MUCH better. The sauce wasn't as salty/thick compared to the other place but still was good with the meat, green onions, and hefty garlic. I definitely will come back when I'm in the area. Also you can ask for free rice to slurp up the rest of your sauce. It's such a deal and I was SO full. read more

Food: karaage chicken was hot, crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and perfectly seasoned. Possibly the best karaage chicken I've had. Ocean mazesoba was artfully arranged (see pic), the noodles and creamy crab had just the right amount of chew, and you get to add your own vinegar and chili oil for the right balance of tanginess and warmth. Service: 10/10 to our server, AJ, for courtesy, promptness, and knowledge of the menu. We were really impressed by his customer service and professionalism. Great experience and we'll definitely be back soon. read more

I was craving mazesoba and luckily this place was one of the first on the list when I looked up some places. The parking was a bit crowded, but it's located in an area with lots of boba options so you can eat here and then get boba after for dessert. Champion Mazesoba - Lots of minced pork to give you the protein you need to get your day started. The sauce was very light and they really spoil you with the portion size. It was very flavorful and adding the chili oil and vinegar oil just brought out its flavor even more. I've been eating a lot more now, but they gave so much I had to to-go it. Karaage - These chunks were huge and had great seasoning that gives it just a bit of saltiness. Luckily it also comes with their house sauce so you can add a bit of creaminess to it. read more

Came here for the first time with my wife and daughter while visiting a nearby daycare for dinner. If you like mazesoba then this is the place to come to, especially when there not that many around. The only other one i know of locally is menya henabi in Arcadia. I like hero because of the different variety of dishes they offer on their mazesoba compared to menya hanabi. Which is why i chose their crown mazesoba (chicken karage) vs the champion mazesoba (chasu) to change it up. I must say their chicken karage was cooked to perfection with a nice crispy outer layer and seasoning to deliciously cooked chicken. They provided plenty of chicken with the meal and the ramen and seasoning, poached egg, etc.. all blended very well to create a delicious flavor to the meal. Mix it with the vinegar and chili oil and bam you get a great tasting dish. The other thing that sets them apart is the offering of a small bowl of rice to add at the end of the meal to take up the remaining sauce. So come hungry. My wife enjoyed her champion mazesoba and said she would come back for their mazesoba. Chasu had great flavor, egg was poached perfectly, and texture of the noodles were to her liking. Rick umami flavor. We ordered appetizer edamame and pork gyoza for our daughter to snack on along with her dinner. She opted not yo eat the gyoza but loves the edamame. Lightly salted and can't go wrong with edamame. The gyoza was nicely pan fried and had nice rich texture and the pork was cooked perfectly. The only thing i did not like about the gyoza was the dipping sauce that it came with. I was not a fan of it but the alternative i found that paired well with it was the chili oil. It paired so well together highly recommend using chili oil. One thing i would say about coming is i can imagine parking being difficult if the plaza gets busy and there if there is a wait so one would need to plan accordingly. We showed up right when they opened at 5pm and no wait along with good parking. So it would be a crap shoot since the plaza is across the street from mt. Sac. The staff was superb and i mean SUPERB!! Very friendly and attentive which made the experience even better l. The guy was amazing from taking orders to serving to checking on the patrons was amazing and very sincere. High marks for him and the rest of the staff there for providing such quality service and food! The ambience is clean, relaxing and very welcoming. I loved their wall mural (see photo). All in all this is a gem of a find for some local mazesoba. I cannot wait to come back and try their other dishes. Highly recommend if you are in the area to try them out. read more
