    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!

    Original King Ramen and Fried Chicken Karaage

    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.

    Red King and edamame
    Hiep L.

    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.

Their noodles are made in-house, with a wonderfully chewy texture, and their Kansai-style broth is made with Hokkaido kelp and bonito flakes. Here's what we ordered: Sesame Tofu Silky, smooth, and creamy with a rich sesame flavor. A light and delicious way to start the meal. Fried Squid Leg Crispy on the outside and wonderfully chewy inside. So addictive and perfect for sharing! Kakuni - Braised Pork Belly Tender, juicy pork belly with a savory-sweet Japanese flavor. It practically melts in your mouth. Cheese Curry Udon One of our favorites! Thick, chewy udon covered in rich Japanese curry and creamy melted cheese. Warm, comforting, and SO satisfying. Shabu Shabu Udon Tender slices of beef with chewy homemade udon in a warm, savory broth. Simple, comforting, and delicious. Tempura Zaru Soba Refreshing cold soba noodles served with crispy tempura. I love the combination of cool, chewy noodles and hot, crunchy tempura. Nabeyaki Udon A steaming bowl of comfort food! The flavorful broth and chewy udon make this such a cozy and satisfying dish. Suki Beef Curry Bowl Savory-sweet sukiyaki-style beef with rich curry over rice. Every bite is packed with flavor! Katsu Bowl Crispy, tender katsu served over rice--simple, hearty, and definitely kid-approved! Honestly, we ordered so many different things and there wasn't much left on the table! This is definitely a great family-friendly spot. Free Parking!

    My wife and I were looking around for a good bowl of Japanese ramen noodles, and this place popped…read moreup as a place we hadn't tried before, so off we went for lunch. We had actually expected just the usual soup ramen place, but later discovered that, although a view varieties of ramen noodles are offered on their menu, their specialty was in fact the dried version of a bowl of soup ramen noodles, or what our server referred to as a bowl of "reverse" ramen noodles, better known as Mazemen noodles.... sounded really yummy so far as I have always preferred dry noodles to soup ones. So, my wife went ahead and ordered a bowl of spicy California Tonkotsu ramen noodles, and I went with the Saitama Chicken Mazemen noodles..... and some handmade spicy wonton and fried Karaage Chicken on the side. Our food came out pretty fast, super hot, super fresh, and super delicious! I tried some of my wife's soup ramen, and yes, had great flavor... not too salty, and perfectly medium firm ramen noodles. As for my Mazemen noodles....woweee!.... this was my first time trying Mazemen noodles, with a large board on the wall with instructions on how Wadaya's Mazemen noodles should be eaten. When the instructions were followed, I dug straight in and...mmmmm good! The combination of ingredients in the bowl.... peppered ground chicken, scallions, chives, poached egg, minced garlic, fish umami, and seaweed flakes.... when all tossed together just made for an amazingly delicious bowl of noodles! I really loved and enjoyed it so very much! The Chicken karaage and spicy wontons were very delicious too and went great with our noodles. Other than that, very cute and cozy ambiance... like a little Japanese ramen place, service was excellent.. our server was so nice, so friendly, so attentive, and so helpful.... this made for just the perfect lunch! This place may not be as high profiled as other more popular and well known brands of ramen places, but it's definitely one of the best we've ever tried, and we'll definitely be back soon.

    We were looking for a ramen option before headed to the airport, and we followed Yelp community's…read morerecommendation (trusting HI fellows once more!). To my surprise, it was a good experience that we had. The shop was small, but the staff has a workflow nailed down. The parking was not too terrible on a weekday evening -- I was worried about the warnings, so we parked on the street. When walking to the hotel, I saw that there were many open spaces in the parking lot! We had the chicken cartillage and the calamari for appetizers. The cartillage was good, but portion was quite small. Some additional seasoning/salt would have also made it much better! The calamari was definitely VERY different from other places, but I liked the batter texture. What I loved about the ramen here is that they let you customize from the noodle size, texture, spice level, and the salt level! I always prefer the thicker noodle type, so I found it comforting to be able to request it at no extra charge. Beware there is extra charge for Spice level 4 & 5! I had the Garlic Tonkotsu ramen, which was flavorful and not too salty/creamy. My fiance had the Tan Tan ramen at level 5 spice, which he thought it was not spicy (it was for me!) and not as flavorful as what I ordered. Overall, I would definitely revisit this shop next time I'm in Oahu!

The server doesn't apologize - he states it's already been picked up. How? I ask if they don't verify the DoorDash confirmation for pickup. The server Kendrick tells me they do, but scammers show up with the exact order confirmation screen and pick up orders. Honestly sounds like BS to me, considering they have pickup orders by the front door on a shelf that anyone could take. Either way, the lack of an immediate apology or questions to clarify just point to the fact that he assumed immediately I was a scammer. Okay, annoying. But whatever. I want my food. I ask to have it remade - they're still seating people and people are ordering. They're not closing anytime soon. He tells me they won't remake it. I ask why and he continues to insinuate I'm a scammer and a thief trying to pick up someone else's order. He tells me to cancel my order. I'm beyond pissed at this point because I can't even get a refund via DoorDash because it's already being prepared. So I go back and talk to him again. He continues to refuse to cancel the order or remake it. He gets on the phone with a "Peter" who he claims is the manager. It gets really fun from here. Peter listens to my story and says there's nothing they can do. He says scammers do that all the time, and every restaurant deals with it. Okay, so how has it never happened to me at ANY restaurant? And how have I NEVER heard of it happening? So Peter, after refusing to do anything for me for a while, finally says he'll talk to the server to try and cancel the order from their end. Fine. I hand the phone back to Kendrick and he walks inside. I wait 7 min and no updates. So I go inside and ask him if he's canceling the order. He says, "what do you mean?" I tell him the manager said he'd tell him to cancel the order. Kendrick says, "he was telling you to do that". More gaslighting lmfaoooooo. I tell him no, he told you to. Again, I'm pissed beyond belief at this point and again, I can't get a refund via DoorDash because it's already "being prepared". You would think saying that 3 times is enough for them to finally get it but no. I wasted 20 min driving here, and another 25 waiting for a resolution for this BS. Kendrick tells me he can't cancel the order twice. I just ignore him and wait. 3 min later he goes "I canceled it". Like... you guys are acting like I'm the scammer when you clearly are the ones trying to pull some shady stuff. I FINALLY get my refund and Kendrick says, "sorry I just work here." Brother, that's not your line. You say that when, for example, corporate has a policy that no one likes. This all stemmed from you and your team's incompetence. The lying and gaslighting is absolutely crazy. 25 min and they either could've just refunded me or remade my order. A waste of time. I'll never visit any Slurpin again - this was just pathetic. Not a single bit of sincerity or willingness to help. The manager sounded like he was tired of talking to me, and our conversation lasted 2 min (I'm not even exaggerating). If you want food, don't go here. If you want to keep your money, don't come here. However, if you want to be treated like a liar and a scammer from the second you walk in, then this place is perfect.
