Creamy vegan ramen with a side of extra noodles. Husband's sushi in the background.
Stephanie C.

Came with my husband for a dinner while we were visiting Anaheim for his work conference. I was interested because they have vegan options including vegan ramen. I got the creamy "quartz" vegan ramen and ordered extra noodles (because I am a noodle fiend and was extra hungry after a very light lunch). Also got the mushroom vegetarian bao appetizer. Both were very good, and to be honest I probably would have been okay without the extra noodles (but I ate them all anyway, LOL). I would absolutely get the ramen again if I was ever in the area, but it was our last day there, so I didn't get a chance. My husband got some sushi since he'd had a bunch of snacks and stuff from his conference and wasn't as hungry, but he enjoyed the sushi as well. Interior is clean and looks relatively new, and the servers are polite but very minimal on interaction, which could be a plus for you. The decor is pretty standard for a Japanese restaurant, as far as I can tell. The restaurant was moderately full as well, not crowded but definitely not empty. Delicious, and I would certainly come back if I get the chance to do so.

Stumbled upon this place, sunday night around 7 pm. Waited about 10-15 minutes for a tabe which went by quick, put your name and nunber on the waitlist and they will call you back. Be patient with them, they don't have a lot of tables and we saw 2 servers but they do move quick, food came quickly too. Staff were polite and patient. Food was priced reasonably and good options as well. Would recommend trying them out, we'll be back.

Thanks to its location at Garden Walk, My wife and I stopped at Rakkan Ramen a few weeks back before a show at the House of Blues. I think this place is relatively new and was definitely super clean when we arrived. The staff was very attentive and got us waters, menus, and took our orders as soon as we were ready. The menu had a nice mixture of ramen and sushi and offered a combo that I took advantage of. I ended up ordering the "Ruby" which was packed with shrimp, chicken, and an egg as well as the upgrade for a little bit of sushi on the side, which was the spicy shrimp. The food came out pretty quickly and the ramen was piping hot. I ate the sushi first and have no complaints, it was solid sushi and I enjoyed it. The ramen gets a thumbs up from me as well. The broth had good flavour, the shrimp and chicken were both solid, and even though it wasn't necessarily a dish I'm going to think about again, it left me with no complaints. Overall, Rakkan Ramen was a solid dinner spot and somewhere I wouldn't be opposed to dining at again. It's nice to know there's a solid Ramen spot if I ever crave it on future visits to the House of Blues.

Kids Amber Ramen
Ian C.

A solid ramen option at GardenWalk and a great break from park food. We came here for a weekend lunch between Disneyland days, and this quiet clean spot did not disappoint. It's a typical-sized ramen shop ran by younger waitresses and kitchen of 3, but their soup bases have some genuinely unique flavors that set them apart. Food came out at a nice pace, with each bowl arriving fresh from the kitchen as it was ready. Pricing feels fair for the area, especially considering the quality and creativity of the dishes. What we tried: * Hotate Hand Roll - Simple, clean, and straightforward. Fresh and exactly what you expect from a classic hand roll. * Small Salmon Poke Bowl - Tossed in a miso dressing with avocado, seaweed, and pickled ginger, making for a fresh, well-balanced bowl. I just wish they offered a mix of different fish instead of only salmon. * Creamy Truffle Ramen - A rich broth with truffle oil, seasoned egg, king oyster mushrooms, broccolini, and corn. I honestly hadn't imagined a meatless ramen could be this satisfying. The flavors were well balanced, and the noodles were cooked just right. * Kids Amber (Soy Sauce) Ramen - The broth leaned on the heavier, more intense side with a sweet finish. The noodles were a bit different, likely to keep them from soaking up too much of that strong broth. * Kids Garnet (Miso) Ramen - Another great choice, with a distinct fermented soybean flavor that really stood out. Overall, this is a spot I'd definitely come back to when I'm craving ramen in the area, especially between park days.

What good ramen! I got to grab some good food here with friends as we were catching up on life. The location of this place is ideal especially when you're taking advantage of Downtown Disney for its many stores to just walk around and enjoy the time together. The variety of ramen choices has been very nice. The service was also very kind. The place is run well. Thank you all and God bless you all+!

We came here for an early dinner earlier this week and ordered the Garnet Ramen and Quartz Ramen along with potstickers. Our ramen was amazing! So much flavor especially with the fresh garlic and really great service. This is definitely a spot that I'll come back to!

I was craving for a good bowl of noodle soup after a long weekend at the Disney to recharge my energy and found RAKKAN Ramen nearby my hotel. Located on the top floor of Garden Walk plaza, this restaurant's vibe and layout is simple and minimalist. Service was quick and friendly, the server took good care of our table, she gave us time to decide on our ramen, make sure is there any topping that we would like to add on or remove, check-in to make sure we happy with the food, and refill our water on a timely manner. They simplified their menu so it doesn't have pictures of each dishes on it, just a lot of words and description, as a visual learner I'm a little bit sad but gladly I have Yelp to check out the image lol. We ordered Amber (Shoyu) with thin noodles & Pearl (Salt) with thick noodle. The broth was really really good, each of them have different taste but they all being crafted very carefully and very flavorful. Just like how they advertised on their menu: very "UMAMI" Ramen. I prefer my noodle to be thicker than what Rakkan served but it has the chewy and springy texture that I enjoyed. The toppings: Chashu, Bamboo Shoots, Seaweed, and Ajitama were all good, my favorite is the Ajitama - the yolk was amazing and boiled to perfection, Chashu on the other hand could be a little bit more char. Overall, it was a very solid bowl of noodles and it satisfied my noodle soups craving right on the spot. Truly hope that they will open one in NorCal in the future so I can visit more often and try one of their creamy ramen broth & the karaage.

Ruby ramen! (Garlic Shrimp Miso)
Francis D.

Rakkan Ramen of Anaheim GardenWalk located on the 3rd floor (top floor). It seems that they've been here for almost about a year now? But my girlfriend and I use to frequent the one at the Tustin District and one day they weren't there! So it's nice that they opened up a little closer to us! We've been to this location twice now and it provides a pretty casual comfy vibe and upon those times of our visit, not too long of a wait. We were there a little after 6pm on Friday/weekend night but I think customers start to come in around 7pm. Decent amount of seating and customers are fairly quick on eating depending on the party size and not to mention the food wait is not too long. Speaking of, let's talk about ramen! FOOD Spicy Cucumber Honestly can't go wrong with this one. Not crazy-spicy but has a kick and definitely great to pair with your ramen to help reset the taste palate! Chicken Karaage Juicy and delicious! Serving size for the Karaage are fairly large too so nice to have if you're feeling hungry! Goes well sprinkling the lemon wedge! Ruby ramen (Garlic Shrimp Miso) Broth is truly amazing on this one, although this wasn't my order haha this one's my girlfriend's! She absolutely loves this one as she's been ordering it ever since we discovered Rakkan in Tustin! Garnet Ramen (Miso base) Extra Spicy Honestly my go-to and favorite ramen! I've tried it with and without spice but I've always preferred spicy ramen so I highly recommend doing Extra Spicy! The chashu has a smoky taste to it which is delicious and serving size is perfect. I feel th is is a crowd-favorite and one you can't go wrong with! Spicy curry ramen with fresh garlic (LIMITED) This is a limited ramen so I had to give it a try. I'm pretty picky with curry ramen and here's what I have to say about Rakkan's Spicy Curry Ramen. It's good, has the right balance of protein to vegetable ratio but I think there's something missing from the broth itself. I think it could be the garlic chips that may be throwing off my taste buds but other than that, I think it was great! I'll try it again and give an updated feedback but if you're a fan of curry ramen, you should definitely try it out! OVERALL There's been a surge of ramen joints popping up around Orange County and I'd have to say that Rakkan is on my thumbs up list! Every visit is pretty consistent despite the locations and that's important to have. Customer service seems to be on point, servers tend to check up on the customers frequently to ensure everything is fine or if they had any questions. Although there was one point from our last visit (12.27.25) it did take our server some time to bring out the added sides for one of our ramens, usually they would bring the sides along with the entrees so maybe they just forgot? But as mentioned before, the atmosphere is comfy casual and spot-on with cleanliness! Thanks for the delicious dinner Rakkan Ramen! We'll be visiting again real soon!

GARNET

Stopped by here the night before a few days in the parks. I loved how quaint, minimalistic, and reminiscent of Japan the space was. Service was quick and efficient. Our waitress was very attentive and made sure we were good at all times. The ramen here is pretty good! I've had better, but I would definitely stop by here if I was in the area and craving ramen. The spicy cucumber was good. It was my first time having this dish, so I can't compare it to other establishments. The sushi flight was solid as well--the fish tasted fresh! I wish there was a bit more variety in the fish, but it's also not a big deal since this isn't a sushi spot. Not pictured is the small Karaage Bowl and small Avocado Tofu Bowl. Both were (yes, small) a good size portion if you're peckish but not too hungry. The distance to nearby hotels is not a bad walk (or short car ride, if you're not into walking) and I imagine many people going to/from Disneyland take a gander at this place. If you are one of those people, stop in!

Salmon hand roll
Samantha G.

This is located in Anaheim GardenWalk on the 2nd floor. I've never been here so it's a nice place to walk through for lunch or dinner. It's a vegetable based broth which I've never had. They have a few other scattered locations and one in Japan. We tried the Garnet and spicy garnet. I got regular spice in mine. This one's has a miso flavor in it. Honestly surprised because it was really good. If you like just a little bit of spice get the regular. It's the perfect amount for me, I like spice to add a little flavor but I can't handle too much heat. For spicy lovers try the extra spice and add more chili oil. You can also switch if you want pork or chicken. The chashu was ok but I enjoyed how creamy and flavorful the bowl was. I ordered a salmon hand roll because I was really hungry and it said limited special on the menu. Don't waste your money on it. It's a good size but the salmon they used was very pale in color and not fresh. Service was fine, although a little slow. They call you when your table is ready so we walked around while waiting. Overall great option especially for a mixed group with vegetarians. There's something for everybody and still tastes amazing

Shoyu ramen
Ken L.

Delicious shoyu ramen (Amber), it's a a it smoky so it reminds me of charcoal ramen. The chashu was tasty and the noodle very tender. Friends thought the salt and miso ramen was too salty though. Shoyu was great!

SPICY QUARTZ
Krista K.

I previously have tried this place in a different location and I thought the broth was very salty. I decided to give it a try again at Anaheim and I'm glad I did because my mind was changed. The only downside to this location is parking is not validated so any time you spend over an hour will cost extra unlike the other places in the area. Spicy Quartz Ramen- 4.5/5: I really liked the taste of the broth. It truly is a creamy broth. The only thing I would have preferred is chashu pork rather than chicken. Chicken Karaage- 3/5: This one was okay. The batter was really thick.

Janae P.

Every bite of food was eaten. The ramen with shrimp, chicken and a soft boiled egg has a tasty broth. I must admit l loved hearing the chef say, "Ohayou gozaimasu" through a little window every time an order was ready. Of course the pork gyoza is delicious and I loved their take on a cucumber salad. It's a bit chunky. The presentation is perfect. Ashley did a wonderful job answering all of my questions relating to my dietary needs. She's very knowledgeable.

OVERALL : I'm a big fan of HiroNori and have dined at their…read moreother locations several times, but this was my first time at the Orange location. It's def more hidden since it's in a business buiding, but there was still a full house when we visited on a Thurs evening for dinner. We waited around 20 mins to be seated. The ordering process was quick, service was friendly, and the food came out quick. Loved both their ramen and apps! PARKING : This location is a bit unique; it's in a courtyard area of a business building! The parking lot out front was pretty empty when we came around 7pm on a Thursday. We followed signs to get into the courtyard with the storefront. FOOD/DRINKS : Tonkotsu Ramen - Pork Chashu, spinach, green onion, seaweed, bean sprout, half egg -- creamy and flavorful broth, love the toppings and the chashu is some of the most tender I've had! Upgraded to Combo to include a small salad + salmon poke rice bowl - Salad dressing was nice and acidic, helped to have some veg between all the decadent bites! Salmon poke was okay, but I like Spicy Tuna more for sure. Quite a bit of rice in the bowl compared to fish. Spicy Cold Dipping Noodle - Bonito dashi broth w/ chili oil, cold noodles with pork chashu, bamboo, kaiware sprouts, bean sprouts, egg, spinach -- Super refreshing and cold! Loved the vinegar-y refreshing dipping broth. Not spicy to me, but had good chili flavor. Crispy Rice w/ Spicy Tuna - spicy tuna, avocado, crispy rice, eel sauce -- rice was soft yet crispy, not too oily. generous amount of spicy tuna. Matcha Latte w/ Azuki Boba - i like to get this when i dine here -- it's not a strong fancy coffeeshop "double matcha" by any means, but it's not trying to be one. It's a nice creamy matcha drink with red bean flavor thrughout and boba at the bottom. I like it as a sweet treat after all the savory foods!

There isn't a huge amount of space/seating but I was able to be seated immediately for my party of two for Friday dinner. The menu here is pretty limited but they seem to do each item really well. The tonkotsu ramen and salmon poke bowl were so flavorful and with good portions. Be prepared for an auto-gratuity/surcharge of 17%. It seems there was text on the menu about how to bypass it, but they blocked it out in marker so it's not avoidable.

This is a great ramen spot. Wasn't too busy when we got there around 1:30 pm…read more We came for lunch (no lunch specials just an all day menu) and ordered the tonkotsu spicy black ramen, some spicy tuna rolls, and an order of takoyaki. All very fresh! Ramen was rich and flavorful. Not too salty not bland, but just right. The pork chasu was tender and fresh. I liked the plentiful topping and the seasoned egg a lot. Takoyaki had a crunch and was soft in the center, just right. Spicy tuna wasn't least bit fishy and was also very fresh. You do need to ask for wasabi and ginger as it did not come with it. The service from our waiter was kind and consistent. We had a great expectant we will definitely be back to enjoy this place again!

The ramen looked decent, vegetables, toppings were okay. But the Chashu was really tough and too fatty. The Karage (fried chicken) looked and tasted like what you would get with fish and chips. I've never had Karage like this before. The table was sticky. The child booster was also sticky. Just felt like things haven't been cleaned in a while. The only redeeming quality were the nice and friendly employees. Unfortunately, I don't think I'll be coming back. There's a lot of other ramen restaurants in OC that are way better for the price.

No more ramen in Yorba Linda anymore! I'm shocked and saddened!…read moreMy family been going there since opening, today we went there for dinner and no OPEN sign was on. When I open the door, inside was dark and furniture all stacked inside. Then realized ramen picture posted was not a menu but MOVED sign.

Our server wasn't very personable but also not rude or terrible. I felt a little rushed even with a small menu. Being that I had never been there before, I wasn't sure what to get so I pretty much just blurted out whatever. What we ordered: 1) Black deluxe chicken paitan with pork - the broth was so tasty, it was absolutely delicious. The pork slices were generous, however, it was DRY. 2) Pork chashu - for my kid. They loved the broth as well and also felt that the pork slices were dry. I wanted to give 4 out of 5 stars, but I am going to hand them a 3. I loved the tasty broth, but the pork was too dry. How could you mess that up as a ramen restaurant? The portions looked a little smaller than what I am used to paying for much less money. That photo of my black deluxe chicken paitan with pork is very deceiving. It looks like a lot, but it definitely wasn't. I usually can't finish my bowl of ramen in one sitting and take the other half home. I barely had any broth in there, and being that the broth was very good, I was disappointed to run out of it before I was even done with the noodles and meat. Would I return? Sure. I liked the food. It's not a place I would go out of my way to eat at, but if I was around the neighborhood and wanted ramen, I would dine there again.
