There was no line which is SOOO lucky and we were greeted by a really nice server. She explained what each ramen is and I got the original witb spice 6 and it isn't thattt spicy. It has a nice kick to it! This is probably equivalent to ichiran for me. It was tasty and honestly one of the best ramen I've had in a while. They have beansprout as a side and I LOVE it. Would definitely come back again for more items!
Still love the Original King Ramen and fried chicken karaage! Their noodles and broth always hits the spot, and love how easy it is to customize toppings and salt/sauce levels. We went for lunch on the weekend, and there was a line, but we got through it fairly quickly. The service was fast, friendly, and efficient as usual. Ambiance is casual.
My husbee and I went here on a Friday for date night. It was our first time here so we didn't know exactly where it was located. Our GPS told us to park in the parking structure. That's what we did. Went inside of the building and up the stairs to find Vox Kitchen! We walked past Vox Kitchen and went to the map. The map told us to hang a left and then make a right after you see the eye glass store. So, I guess it was easy to find. When we finally got there. There was a line! But to our surprise, the wait was about 15-20 minutes long. Not bad at all. While we were waiting, one of the partners, Steve (I think his name was) was so nice and told us how to order and showed us the menu so we'd be ready once we were seated. We ordered the squid ink and the spicy ramen, both were delicious! As a side, we got their fried dumplings, and a side of pork belly and tamago. Everything was so good that we are already planning for next time there!
Absolutely amazing! The broth is delicious and it's got such great flavor. I love the customization so that you can have it prepared how you want it. I did spice level 6 and honestly it was barely anything! I'll have to try level 10 next time. I don't crave ramen much but I can see myself coming back here for solo meals and would definitely recommend this place to others. Service was super friendly and helpful as well! I didn't know who our designated server was but it didn't matter because everyone was helpful with checking up on my table. They also had the most perfect jammy soft boiled egg!! I was amazed at how perfect it was, no notes!!
Coming in during the last 10 minutes before closing time, I really didn't think a big group of 16 would be allowed in, but the gracious staff of Ramen Magi not only added us to their list but also gave us menus ahead of time. There were 2 other groups in line. To get us seated and served quickly, the staff came to the line to pass out order forms, answer any questions, and confirm our orders. This made the whole process efficient. The great service continued from the time we sat down through the end of our meal. I tried the potstickers that were fried together into a pancake shape, and tonkatsu ramen. Both were fine, but I wish I got what my husband ordered which was a black squid ink and garlic. The standout really was the service. We were celebrating July birthdays and the restaurant staff didn't rush us while gifts were being opened. In fact our server even helped take pictures.
Second time here and the food and service continues to exceed my expectations. The manager is so sweet and attentive and remembered us from our last visit! Quieter ambiance as this is located in the less busier side of South Coast Plaza. Hands down the best ramen I've ever had.
Don't be deceived, it's more a quick service type of restaurant where they give you a paper menu and you order at the front. But the service is good. Fast and quick with attentive servers. It's a bit small feeling or crowded feeling when you eat inside, but the food is just great. I'm not someone who goes out of her way for ramen, but this is definitely one I would personally suggest sometimes locally. Inside the mall with patio looking outward! Crystal court side!
Solid service. Yummy ramen that is customized to your taste. Tonnes of parking. Always good.
A convenient location in south coast away from the crowds. Original king ($17) - tonkotsu broth. I selected cabbage which gave it a slight sweetness to the overall flavor. The ramen was chewy and Chashu was so tender. Red king - chili oil and cayenne broth. It's not as spicy as it looks! It almost tasted like gochuchang with a lingering smokiness. Chicken karage ($8.25) - sweet soy glazed crispy juicy chicken. The egg sauce that came with it was divine!
Randomly came here for lunch while shopping. You get a slip while you're in line to order. There's so many customizations. You can adjust your salt, oil, ramen type, and firmness. They have 4 soup ramen types plus a new tsukemen. You can make your perfect ramen. Add one like egg and seaweed are optional as well. Their spice level 2 for the red ramen is a very comforting spice. Service was great as well. They note where you're sitting so each person gets the right food. There's a water already at the table as well. Food came out in less than 5 mins. Our waitress was attentive enough to offer bibs so the red sauce didn't get on my clothes. The inside is a bit small but they have large patio seating. Most parties eat and finish within 30 min since you're not waiting for the food for a while. There's enough space to walk around without bumping into people.
Came here after a friend recommended it to me, the ramen here is really great. Their Red King has the perfect amount of spice -- I'd recommend getting it with the thicker noodles over the thin. The interior is beautiful and the staff are lovely. They were super attentive and helpful with our party and really made the experience immersive.
I went in here on a whim after not eating all day, craving soup and seeing the long line. I figured, "why not?" The line was lengthy, but to speed the process, there was someone outside providing the menu and answering questions. They also. Kept in consideration that I was eating solo, so when a seat at the bar opened up, it was given to me. As soon as I sat down, my server confirmed what I wrote and I KID YOU NOT, my food was in front of me a minute later. There was water on the table on front of you so you didn't have to ask for refills, and all the extra condiments were on the table as well. I simply got to enjoy my food and just had to ask for the check and paid on my way out. This was my kind of dining!
We decided to try this place near South Coast plaza because we wanted ramen. It was really good. I had the original flavor with pork belly, cabbage, and an egg. The flavor was rich and the noodles were well cooked. The one thing I didn't like was the pork belly. Instead of slices of pork belly it was just one big nugget. How are you supposed to eat this?!? Also, it had some kind of sweet bbq sauce on it that clashed with the flavor of the broth. I'm never ordering the pork belly again. My wife had the Red King broth, which she liked because she doesn't like the pork flavor, so that's a good option if you like ramen but don't want the rich pork flavored broth.

I highly recommend trying the original ramen. The broth is incredibly flavorful, but it's quite salty, even though I opted for the normal on everything. I tried the thin noodles, but I believe the thick noodles would complement the broth better. The curry ramen was a unique option, and I enjoyed its flavor. However, it can be overwhelming after a while, and it's also quite salty. Would definitely come back to try their other options. read more
Having visited the other Ramen Nagi locations multiple times, the other ramen shops around the area are in for some competition. I'd say Ramen Nagi is about on par with HiroNori. For first timers, they usually have a guided walkway where you get in line. Then, you'll be given a piece of paper where you can customize your ramen. I personally love the charsiu and pork belly. read more

I don't usually give 5 stars but when you deserve it, I have to. This place hit All of it! From the broth, the noodles, pork and can't forget the egg! Soooooo delicious! The customer service was also excellent! Super friendly staff who explained the menu to you and the variety of ramens they offered. I made sure we tried almost all the ramens but I def will try the other ones when we come back because we will! We will be back!!! Oh and the other details is that this is at the south coast plaza mall, the one on Bear street by crate and barrel. Very clean and it's not the biggest spot so might expect a line some days. Other than that, karaage was great! I loved the free bean sprouts that was at the table. Yeah.... We will no doubt be back'! This is now my entire families especially my ramen loving boys favorite! Must try! read more

finally got to try out ramen nagi! i pretty much got the recommended options but opted for less oil. it was so flavorful & filling. i like that they offer pork options. since im not the biggest fan of pork belly, i got pork shoulder which is leaner! its also tender and doesnt taste old. the side of bean sprouts in sesame oil was one of the highlights!! so yummy service was streamlined & efficient. they were also professional and polite! the inside is kind of cramped. the tables are a little too close together. I felt like i was sharing a table with the people next to me read more

Located next to Sonoma Williams. Each bowl is customizable and they have four main ramens (Regular tonkatsu, spicy, squid ink, and veggie). Went with the squid ink and the spicy. I will say the noodles itself is very good. Tastes very fresh and you can just taste the tenderness as it melts in your mouth when you chew it. It is not too chewy or does not break apart too easily. We also tried the chashu in one bowl and the pork belly on one bowl. For about $20 a bowl I will say I was a little disappointed that it only came with one small piece of pork belly, which was a little too rough and chewy. The other bowl came with two very thin slices of chashu. However the chashu was really good! I would say one of the best chashu I have ever tasted. So tender and very flavorful. The broth itself was a miss for me. The red king spicy tonkotsu was salty, and the taste was just heat with little flavor. With the squid ink (Black King), I just felt like the flavor was missing. It didn't have any unique taste to it. I think I would go regular tonkotsu next time. The chicken karaage had a nice glaze to it and was very crispy! Tastes kind of like a honey sesame. Overall, very good noodles and chashu. Portion on the smaller side with little broth flavor (For red king and squid ink). read more
Great ramen spot that I just learned about courtesy of my siblings. We did a Father's Day get together here which was perfect as they have a nice big patio. First off I want to say their staff/service was fantastic for our party of 14. So they deserve a solid 5 stars. Food wise, the ordering is really easy just mark up the menu and check off the way you want your ramen prepared. Since it was my first time here and I like spicy I opted for one of their popular ones the Red King. I upped the spice level a notch went with the chashu, added an egg and stuck with the chef recommendations. Overall I loved it, the broth was definitely a little thicker than I am use to. It was hearty and filling, I even got extra noodles. I will definitely come back to try the Green King since I love basil and really want to try their thick noodles. read more

Located right up against the parking structure in the smaller building to the west of south coast plaza. Indoor and outdoor full service dining. Idk if it'll be the norm, but it was for us when we showed up in June 2026 - there's a line queue out front where you wait and they have you order while you're waiting. Then, when a table is ready, they sit you down and serve you. Fast and friendly service! We were sat down to a table with a bunch of different sauces and spices. One of my pics shows the set up. Idk what anything was, as it was unlabeled, so probably worth asking. We tried two of their ramen bowls, gyoza, edamame, chicken karaage, and an extra serving of noodles. Everything was amazing! Plenty of food for two adults and two small kids to share. We paid at the register, which I'm also not sure is regular, but that's how it went. Just under $70 including tax and tip. Pretty good value given how expensive life is today! read more

I love Ramen Nagi and it's my brother's favorite ramen spot! You get to customize heaviness, oil garlic and noodle type! I always get the Green King which is my favorite!!! The service is always amazing all the servers are attentive when we need extra noodles! Plenty of seating and cool Japanese decor and we haven't waited longer than 20 minutes for a seat. I would also recommend ordering the chicken Karaage if you are super hungry! Great location as it's walking distance to other dessert places. read more

I was so happy to come back here because this place always hits! I usually get the Red Ramen, and it was really good as always, but next time I'll probably adjust the saltiness. I chose the normal salt level, and it ended up being a little saltier than I personally prefer, so I'll definitely go with a lower level next time. For the spice, I usually go around level 3-5. As someone who LOVES spicy food, I think level 5 is perfect if you can handle a decent amount of heat. It gives the ramen a really nice kick without taking away from the flavor. I also really liked the portion size and all the toppings. The bean sprouts on the side were a nice touch, the egg was delicious, and everything came together really well. One of my favorite things about this place is how customizable the ramen is. You can adjust everything to your preference, from the spice level to the saltiness, which makes it easy to find your perfect bowl. The ramen tastes authentic, flavorful, and comforting. I'll definitely keep coming back! read more
This place is okay.... I love the concept but I think there could be things done that can make this place better. I like the whole choose your own bowl with your own customization, like Ichiran ramen in Japan, that was pretty cool. The ramen was overall pretty good, but having egg as an add on was pretty ridiculous. I feel like every other ramen place I've been to always included at least half an egg with the ramen. Also, I feel like they needed bamboo also as an add on. The broth was really flavorful, the noodles were pretty nice and fresh. The portion size however, was pretty small (seems consistent with other restaurants in the south OC areas). If you're a big back dude, you def need 2 bowls. We also ordered the chicken karrage and I have to say, it did not hit. It comes DRENCHED with sesame oil to the point you can't even taste the chicken. The staff were really nice and very attentive. They came by a few times to check up on us. Overall, this place was okay. I'll come back if I happen to be hungry walking around the SC plaza, but definitely would not wait more than 10 min to eat here. read more
I've always wanted to try this place ever since I saw their LA location at Century City Mall, but never got the chance until recently and I gotta say, it was totally worth the wait. The ambiance was really nice. Small and cozy, but surprisingly spacious with plenty of seating whether you're coming with a group or just dining solo. We got lucky and came when it wasn't super busy, so we were seated pretty quickly. The service was amazing too. Everyone was super polite, and since it was our first time, they took the time to walk us through the menu before we sat down. I honestly loved the whole customization concept because sometimes at ramen spots you forget exactly how you like your ramen, but here it made everything so easy. Now onto the food... the ramen was SO good. I loved the thin noodles, and getting them firm made them perfect and easy to eat. The broth had so much flavor without being overpowering.. just the right balance and richness. Everything we ordered, from the ramen to the karaage, was delicious. The portions were super filling too, definitely satisfying. Overall, such a great first experience. Thank you Ramen Nagi for the yummy food and great service. I already know I'll be back again soon read more
food: the chashu was kind of lacking. i enjoyed the broth, pretty salty but i enjoy salty foods. portions are okay. the chicken karaage was kind of dry. service: went on a weekday afternoon, so there was no line. the servers were sweet ambiance: casual with a lot of seating read more

If you haven't been here, run to this place! The ramen here is some of the best that I have ever had. The staff were so friendly from the moment I walked in. There are so many toppings to choose from as well once you have your ramen at the table. There is an outside seating area which is so nice with shade. I highly recommend this place and can't wait for my next visit. read more

Bit of an older review for this restaurant but from my experience here, all I can say is that both the food and service were great! I found it really cool how you can personalize your ramen on so many levels, from no salt to really salty, how rich you want the taste to be, how heavy you want your garlic to be, etc. It was overall such a cool experience! The chicken karaage was also cooked very well; however, I was not very fond of the sauce it came with. I think the dish could be made much better if it came with chili oil instead. All in all, it was really good, and I definitely recommend trying this joint out at least once! read more

The spot is located inside the mall with a clean, modern Japanese-style interior. Staff were generally friendly, and it's designed as a fast-paced, in-and-out kind of place. I tried the ramen and thought the broth was mediocre at best--it didn't really stand out. It felt more like a trendy spot, the wait itself wasn't bad (about 5-10 minutes) on a Friday around 6-ish. Honestly, parking was more of a hassle than the actual dining experience. Overall, I'm not against the place, but the food was small in portion and didn't feel like quality authentic Japanese ramen to me. read more
Ramen Nagi really does limited specials right. I went in for their one-week Genki Curry Ramen, and honestly I'm not even a big curry person, but this completely won me over. The broth was rich, savory, and layered with spice, but not in a way that overwhelmed everything else. You still got depth, balance, and that signature Ramen Nagi consistency. What made it stand out were all the textures and flavors working together. The curry ground pork ball was insanely flavorful, the sautéed bell peppers added a subtle sweetness, and the grilled, slightly blackened onions brought this smoky, almost crunchy element that tied everything together. That little drizzle of yogurt on top was unexpected, but it cut through the richness perfectly. Add in the pork chashu and green onion, and every bite felt intentional. Also, I really respect that they don't do to-go orders. It says a lot about how much they care about preserving the quality of the experience, and it shows. Every bowl feels like it's made to be enjoyed exactly how it's meant to be. On top of that, the staff is always kind, helpful, and on it. You can tell they take pride in what they're serving. Ramen Nagi continues to be one of the most consistent ramen spots out there, and this limited run just proved they can get creative without missing. read more

Came on a normal, not rainy day and it was pretty empty. We were seated immediately even though we were waiting on one more person to arrive. Service was impeccable. RED KING: 5/5. I kept drinking the broth after my partner had finished the noodles and toppings. SO rich and savory. CHICKEN KARAAGE: 5/5. I might just come for this, honestly. Smoky fry, sweet sauce, savory dip. Not sure what else I need in life. read more
Review 43/365 Day Challenge Brought my hubs n baby girl here for lunch. 1st timer for them 2.21.26 Got here right at noon on a Saturday and luckily there was only one couple n a mom w her daughter in line. After us came a rush of people. While waiting to be seated, we were given an ordering sheet and the associate was telling us a little bit of recommendation especially if it's your 1st time there. We were seated pretty fast considering it to be on a weekend. ~ Red King Ramen bowl isn't too spicy at all. You'll be able to handle. Not much of a heat for myself. Suggest for my spicy lovers. Recommendation" just added Tamago (apanese style eggs) The broth is perfectly spiced to perfection & really flavorful. Had a kick of spice and associate stated if we want it more spicy. Just let them know. The spice level i would say is like a 5 from a 10. The noodles were good & the meat slices were well thinly sliced. Tamago Egg is a must and perfectly cooked like the Japanese style yolk. ~ Original King is what my husband and daughter got. The broth was really good. Practically same as Red King Randn except it isn't spicy, Definitely recommend this one for non spicy eaters. Bean sprouts and condiments including sesame seed available on table w cold ice water pitcher too. Associate was really friendly and receive the ramen bowl within 10 mins. The restaurant is a good size with lots of tables seatings inside & bar like tables. Has a big outdoor Patio with lots of seatings. Restaurant is simple nice like Ramen shop in Japan. Chefs making the Ramen in kitchen, is visible for us to see. Right next to William Sonoma At the Crystal Court side of South coast plaza. 1st floor near entrance. Looks like they are closed mid day for a break. Lots of parking in the Structure. read more

The whole experience was very well organized--from lining up and placing our order to being seated, enjoying the meal, and leaving afterward. Everything moved smoothly and efficiently despite the crowd. Both ramen were rich and flavorful. The bean sprouts on the side helped from feeling too heavy. read more

Excellent ramen with a lot of customizable options. I got the Black King because I love squid ink, and I asked for it to be light on the salt and richness, and this was just perfect. I like my ramen not too heavy, and this was it. My fiancé got the Original King with normal salt and richness and his was noticeably more salty, which was too much for me personally. I got the thick noodle and asked for it to be firm, and this was also perfect. It was nicely al dente and had a nice chew. The pork shoulder was nicely tender and they gave a generous amount compared to most ramen restaurants I've been to where the standard amount is 2 or 3 thin slices. I was afraid the squid ink would leave stains on my teeth like when I've had squid ink pasta, but this didn't happen, which I'm really glad about! The service was super speedy. We got our ramen less than 5 minutes after we sat down. Definitely would make a return at this location or another one. This one doesn't have an alcohol license, and since my fiancé must always have beer with ramen, we'd probably go to the one in Arcadia over this location until they finally get one. read more
Even with the tare level reduced, the squid king was still a little salty for me. Great bowl of ramen...even more so since I had partied much of last night. A solid bowl of ramen will cure all your ills. Love the fact that the bowls come with bibs...I definitely would have gotten my inky black soup all over my clothes. If you select kukuni, that braised pork belly will remind you a lot of Vietnamese thit kho. Line starts outside where they go over the ramen and how to order. You order by filling out the slips and you head on in when there's space for your party. You hand your server your order slip and then things just appear. Service is great! Extra condiments and water are stationed at your table. read more

Stopped by Ramen Nagi at South Coast Plaza on a Sunday around 2PM and was pleasantly surprised that we were seated almost immediately. Weekend waits can get rough in this area, so that was a great start. There is also plenty of covered parking in the structure, which makes visiting pretty convenient. One of the things I really appreciate about Ramen Nagi is the level of customization. You can control how strong the flavors are, how rich the broth is, and even the firmness of the noodles. It makes it easy to dial in exactly what you want in a bowl of ramen. I almost always order the Red King since I love spicy food. The broth is rich, savory, and has a nice kick. Highly recommend adding some vinegar to the bowl. It helps cut through the richness of the pork fat and balances the flavors really nicely. The pork belly is super flavorful but can be a bit fatty. The char siu is leaner but still really tasty, so I like getting a mix of both. The bean sprout side dish is surprisingly addicting and the bite-size gyozas are great for sharing. Our ramen also came out really fast, which was a nice bonus. I did try a little of my friend's Green King. The flavor reminded me a bit of basil pesto pasta, which personally was not my favorite, but it was still interesting to try. I will happily stick with the Red King. Overall, a solid ramen spot with bold flavors and lots of customization. Definitely worth a stop if you are at South Coast Plaza and craving ramen. read more
