    Pretty decent ramen spot overall. The broth was rich and flavorful, and that's honestly the most important part when it comes to ramen--and they delivered on that. That said, there were a couple of things that took away from the experience. First, the presentation of the food wasn't very appetizing. Taste-wise it was good, but visually it could definitely use some work. Second, I really dislike it when servers don't write down orders. Our waiter didn't, and then came back to ask what we had ordered, which was a bit frustrating. Not a bad spot by any means, but with better presentation and smoother service, it could be a lot better.

    Literally the best soft egg I've ever had, 10/10 ramen so good I'm even writing a review. So good I almost called to thank them personally

    The place is cute and cozy tucked away behind another japanese restaurant- Parking a little challenging since the area has quite few restaurants. The staff are kind, friendly and helpful. We order the one was recommended and they were pretty good. The garlic pork rice bowl pretty decent portion and they are so tasteful. We closed up our Friday night dinner with Free Strawberry Ice cream

    We Love this Ramen place. The flavors are delicious and never had any problem with servers. We get seated right away and even when we are waiting, it takes no more than 20-30 minutes. My children love this place also and always ask to come back for more. Prices are great but I do with they add more toppings to the ramen.

    Pork Gyoza pan fried
    Lujuana W.

    First let me start by saying someone recommended this place to me so I thought I would give it a try. I noticed when I arrived that there were people waiting outside but I was seated rather quickly since I was alone. They did a quick clean on the table that was still pretty wet when I was seated and smelled like fabulouso. I ordered the pork Gyoza pan fried to start and it took awhile to come out. The presentation was beautiful but they were extremely cold. The waitress said she didn't see them up there ready and asked if I wanted them remade and I agreed. When they arrived back to the table I noticed that it was actually the same plate of Gyoza that I sent back with one missing. All they did was slightly warm them back up but the middle was still cold! I then ordered the spicy miso ramen with pork and added chicken. The broth was pretty good but they forgot my chicken. When the chicken was brought to me it was cold also. At this point I was ready to just be done and leave the restaurant. I waited 30 min while watching the waitress serve everyone around me but not coming to my table. Again I started smelling fabulouso and seen that indeed the tables were being cleaned with it and that alone gave me such a headache. The waitress blamed it on someone calling off today but this was just unbelievable. I doubt that I will be back.

    Spicy tonkatsu
    Meghan W.

    I saw that Ramenkoko was top 100 ramen place on Yelp. It happens to be in Highland near my in laws. I had to give it a try. I ordered online. They open right at 5 p.m. The earliest pick up time was 5:15p.m. At 4:57pm there was already one person waiting for it to open. They opened at 5:01 p.m. He said that my order should be right up. It took about 10 minutes. I got the spicy tonkatsu. It was so good! It definitely had a kick but not too bad. The soup was rich. Her was a good amount of pork belly. I added the 2 eggs and I'm glad I did. I would definitely get this again.

    Shoyu ramen with extra noodles

    Ramen = 3/5 Service = 5/5 Ambiance= 5/5 This was my first experience here. I want to give recognition to the solo server. She handled orders, served, and lightly cleaned the restaurant as she went. Service and restaurant ambience and cleanliness was a solid 5/5 here. I tipped for this alone. The ramen, however, while quite delicious overall, I found the broth to be a bit lacking in flavor... but everything from the egg to the meat, even the bamboo (which I don't normally take into account) was quite delicious all things considered... hence the odd 3.5 rating. Perhaps I'll order with add-ons next time to raise the broth flavor to my liking. Overall a 4.3 out of 5. Would definitely come back if I'm ever in the neighborhood again.

    Stopped by this ramen spot on a road trip and was pleasantly surprised by how good everything was…read more The Tonkotsu Ramen was definitely the highlight. The noodles are made fresh in-house, and you can really tell from the texture -- they had a great chew and held up well in the broth. The tonkotsu broth was rich and flavorful without feeling overly heavy or greasy. The chashu was tender and well-seasoned, and the soft-boiled egg and wood ear mushrooms rounded everything out nicely. I added a little chili paste for extra heat, and it worked perfectly. The Spicy Garlic Edamame was much better than I expected for a side dish. The edamame was cooked just right, still firm and plump, and coated in a flavorful garlic sauce with a nice kick. We also ordered the Gyoza, which had a beautifully crispy bottom and juicy filling inside. Simple but very well executed. The Pork Rice Bowl was huge and easily shareable. The sweet and savory sauce paired really well with the rice, making it a great comfort-food option alongside the ramen. Overall, everything tasted fresh and well prepared, and the portions were generous. Definitely a spot I'd stop by again if I'm in the area.

Kaz Ramen used to be our favorite, but ever since they went 24 hours, the quality and flavor just hasn't been the same. Ramen Koko in Highland is still pretty good, although I think the presentation and service could use some work. Sosogu Ramen in Redlands is another solid spot. After trying all of them, Ramen Jo's tonkotsu broth stands above the rest. It's rich, creamy, deeply flavorful, and the kind of broth you don't want to leave behind. So why only 4 stars instead of 5? The protein was the only thing holding this place back. The chashu and other beef in our bowls were overcooked and chewy. Instead of being tender and practically melting in your mouth, they took a bit of work to eat. If they can improve the quality of their protein, this would easily be a 5-star ramen spot. We'll definitely be back because that tonkotsu broth alone is worth the visit, and we're hoping the protein is better next time.

I paired it with a Thai tea which was smooth, refreshing, and had that classic sweet creamy taste that goes perfectly with Thai food. The customer service here really stood out. The staff was welcoming, attentive, and made sure everything came out quickly and correctly. They were friendly throughout the whole visit and made the experience feel very comfortable. The ambiance is calm and inviting, with a clean dining area and a relaxed atmosphere that makes it easy to sit down and enjoy your meal. It feels like a cozy neighborhood spot where you can take your time and enjoy authentic Thai dishes without feeling rushed. Definitely a great place to stop by in Highland if you're craving Thai food.

Ordered a chicken teriyaki for the kiddo, and I swear, the chicken tasted like it was cooked yesterday, and reheated today. Miso soup was luke warm. Tell me this, how is it they can't even get the rice right? Literally one of the most important components of anything sushi? Ngl I think they're using regular rice and the water:rice ratio is off (too much water); and on top of that I don't think they even put vinegar or seasoning to create the sushi rice. Anyway sushi rolls come to the table and the waitress walks away. Then she candidly realizes, omg they might need plates and sauce trays (!). We were lucky enough to get them finally and by a miracle of god, could now begin eating. The rolls were mediocre at best, and only seemed decent when drowned in sauces, to mask the textures we're used to experiencing in sushi. The crunch roll (one step above the most basic roll) tasted like the panko was old (either that or the oil used was terribly old). The eel was decent, and I think the scallops are making my stomach hurt rn. This place has come a long way, and not in a good way. You can tell it's about to shut its doors any day soon. Whoever Mr lee is could give a rats ass about this establishment. Atleast under Mr yu it was running well, inviting and decent enough to be called a restaurant. Clearly the result of greedy/stinginess. Can't tell which is more dominant here but I can tell you this much, I'll never come back.

The sear was perfect, and the green onion topping and sauce, along with the small slice portions made this easy and fun to eat. Definitely try this in your first round! 5/5 - Shooting Star (front) - Very savory and delicious! If you like the cajun flavor with the spicy aioli sauce, this won't disappoint. The crunch from the tempura shrimp with the texture profile of the crab and rice makes this a very satisfying roll! 5/5 - Carpaccio - This was actually one of the best carpaccio dishes I had gotten, and I think it is due to the seasoning. You only get one order per person which is typical of other AYCE sushi places, but definitely something to savor! 5/5 - Bluefin Tuna - This is limited to one order per customer, but it was the first time I had eaten a bluefin tuna at an AYCE restaurant that tasted like bluefin tuna from Japan. This is more toro than chutoro/otoro, however it did have that distinct bluefin tuna taste. Impressed! 4/5 - Dynamite - Interesting baked roll dish. Served under a small flame that dies out, it was a very savory, easy-to-eat dish with chopsticks. However, it felt a bit overcooked by the end of the flame, which understandably can be hit-or-miss. Definitely try it out, as this kind of dish is typically rare in AYCE restaurants. 5/5 - Del Rosa and East Highland - These are both the same No Rice Roll just with different wraps. The fish serving was generous and we were impressed! The sauce complemented both perfectly. 4/5 - X-Girlfriend and X-Boyfriend - Pretty much the same No Rice Roll but with different fish. Kind of tastes the same from the other No Rice Rolls so I would just get one order to try it out. 3/5 - O.M.G., Pizza, and SBD Hill - About the same flavor profile with the creamy sauce with the seafood that is placed on top of California rolls. You can probably do with just one of these rolls whichever appeals to you. Of course, it is not exactly the same, but we didn't really care to figure out which was which as we were eating it. 2/5 - Flying Dragon - Was not particularly impressed with this dish. There was a lot of rice served for a thin slice of eel and white fish. The sliced onion was OK, and it did not seem to complement the dish significantly. It seemed more like a separate item placed on top of the roll. 3/5 - Cajun Tuna Nigiri - Decent tuna nigiri. I thought the slices were very thin, so the sear actually went through the whole fish rather than just at the surface which would have made a two-texture profile bite. However, it just seemed dry due to the seared thin slice. 3/5 - Cajun Salmon Nigiri - Same issue with the cajun tuna nigiri. It was seasoned well with the cajun, but the thin slice of the salmon made the sear more of a "cook" rather than a seared surface. 4/5 - Regular Salmon Nigiri - Typical salmon nigiri flavor with regular portion of rice. I think it is beaten out my other AYCE sushi restaurants that are generous with their fish portion and provide minimal rice. 1/5 - Shrimp Boat - This dish was very disappointing. While it is advertised as shrimp with crab meat, our whole group found that it was an overwhelming amount of crab meat and could barely pick out the shrimp. Difficult to finish especially in the 2nd half of our meal. Granted due to being a tempura roll, it was served later. 1/5 - Lobster Ball - This dish was also disappointing. While it is advertised as lobster with crab meat, we barely found a difference between this and the shrimp boat aside from shape. Even with the pictures, the size was larger than we expected. Difficult to finish especially in the 2nd half of our meal. Granted due to being a tempura roll, it was served later. 3/5 - Calamari - Huge portions but could have been salted more. Good crunch but I would hesitate on finishing this portion because you might get full! 3/5 - Shrimp Tempura - We ordered 4 orders of this and only received one order (2 pieces). Decent fry and could also be salted a bit more.
