This spot is a go to for Fullerton locals and Fullerton students. They are open late for when you're craving something warm, homie, and quick. Sometimes they can have a long wait, but that proves that they are great at their craft. Not only do they serve ramen, but they also offer rice bowls if you aren't in the mood for something soupy. They are a small shop, but I am always impressed with how quick the food comes out no matter how busy or how slow the restaurant may be. This is a great place for the winter or if you are out late with friends and you want to eat some good food! read more

This is a staple for CSUF students as I've heard and when my friends went there, this place was recommended and hyped by them. Ages ago, during Titan-con, the anime/nerd convention run by the college, my friends and I decided to grab some ramen here. I could barely fit in the car since I couldn't take the Oda Nobunaga hat off of my head without taking off the wig, so that was a very hilarious memory. We came slightly before the weekend lunch rush so we didn't have to wait, but I can see this place getting super busy and fisted. There's bar counter seating (which we got) that surrounds the entire kitchen area and a decent amount of tables, but knowing people's love for ramen, and how a lot of the OC is a hellscape, it can get quite fisted. Service was friendly and welcoming, being in such a busy area and near a college, I'm sure staff have seen and experienced much more and polite people in cosplay weren't too much of a shock. I got their Aka Ramen which is made from kara (spicy) miso. Comes with 2 pieces of chashu and a seasoned soft boiled egg. I'm not a fan of beansprouts, so I made sure to donate this to a friend. Nice rich miso broth, and like many Japanese restaurant places (that don't have the ability to super build and customize), it has a slight heat, but not super spicy in the slightest. Noodles are thin style and had a nice texture to it that went well with the broth. Overall, not bad. read more

As a regular, I enjoy their ramen! Their broth is rich and a good size. The service is friendly and fast as well with a cozy environment. Highly recommend! read more

Opens 11:00 am to 1:00am (next day) Small, cozy ramen spot serving Japanese fusion for lunch and dinner. There's usually a bit of a wait, and only one bathroom, but they do offer takeout which helps offset that. Free refills on Soda & lemonade for $3.99 Ramen $18.95 - $20 Appetizers $6.95 - $10 Rice bowls $11-$13 Toppings 1.75 - $3.50 jalepenos, green onions, mushrooms, egg, kimchi, pork chatsu, fried garlic etc The noodles stand out immediately slightly thick, springy, and elastic with a clean bite. They hold the broth well without getting soggy, giving that "bouncy" texture you notice with each bite. YUM I ordered the Aka (spicy miso), and the broth came rich and bold with a noticeable salty edge. Adding mushrooms, extra egg, and onions balanced it out and softened the intensity while layering more depth into the flavor. He got the Kuro (tonkotsu shoyu), which was more savory and smooth, with that classic soy-based richness. Overall: strong flavors, great noodle texture, and customizable bowls. Small space, but worth it if you're patience. P.s Post your photos and check in for Free can soda and calico (yogurt drink) read more

Totally impressed with this place! I came here for a late lunch on a weekday and there was no wait (around 1pm). The restaurant is pretty small inside and I almost got lost finding the storefront! I got the chuka soba (chicken broth) with a lunch special size california roll (4pc). The ramen tasted really authentic. I tried the other broths that were also ordered, and they all were unique and very solid. My fave that I tried was the chicken paitan, so I'll remember to get that next time! Service was great! Very attentive. And the food came out so fast and piping hot. Really good place to get ramen! read more

Came here on a Sat at 12:30pm and was able to sit down right away. It was busy, but thankfully there wasn't a waitlist. Service, by Angel, was very fast. Took order immediately and offered water. Food came out quick within 5 mins and finished meal within 20 mins. AKA which is Pork Broth Tonkatsu is good, and hot, but spicy. Noodles are bit thinner, and comes with 2 pieces of pork which was nicely cooked and 1/2 an egg. read more

I've been coming to this spot ever since I discovered they have an amazing Chuka Soba. For ramen, I think Chuka Soba is one of those noodle dishes that you can eat everyday, whereas Tonkotsu or Miso might be too heavy for every day consumption. Their Chuka Soba here has the perfect balance of umami, saltiness, and toppings. The toppings include bamboo, spinach, half egg, Naruto, two slices of chashu and seaweed. My favorite is the flavor oil that is so fragrant in such a clean soup base, it gives a huge amount of flavor. I usually come for lunch and order their combination with comes with a side and ramen. Service is very quick and friendly, the waitstaff checks up on you without having to waive them down. Very close to CSU Fullerton so a lot of college students dine here. read more

In short, great hole in the wall spot for authentic ramen. IiRC, I tried to take my +1 here years ago but the place was so busy w we couldn't even get our names in. Tonight, the place was packed but we were able to get a table for 3 in short order. We were hungry, so we ordered a few things off the appetizer menu and a large hot saki to share. The teriyaki chicken was a perfect meal for my "little." It was tender and not too sweet. We also ordered a spicy tuna and a California roll. They were great additions to our bowls of ramen to fill us up. I ordered the tonkatsu and it was delicious. The broth was rich and the pork was tender. My +1 ordered the Aha ramen which she also enjoyed. For everything we ordered, the price was reasonable. Our servers were just attentive enough, and we enjoyed our experience. Highly recommended. read more

5 stars all the way!! What's up Men still has all the right ingredients and great service here in beautiful Fullerton next to the university. I got their Amazing Shiro Ramen broth which is smooth and delicate flavor with house garden salad. The Kimchi fried rice was fire today so beautiful and delicious made fresh to order never frozen. Same for their famous spicy tuna rolls. Finally they got homemade fresh Japanese kimchi that is delicious. With the hot weather today this is just the right way to enjoy your afternoon lunch today. Thank goodness for the sunshine and warmth oh Heavenly Father. read more

Nothing wrong with a little late night Ramen! As a Ramen snob, I was pleasantly surprised by my first visit to What's up Men. Walked in at around 10:30pm (I love a late night dinner) and were immediately sat. The ambiance is super casual with tons of young people enjoying themselves. One thing about me, I am super duper picky about my ramen. I really only enjoy a handful of places and I was pleasantly surprised with my meal at Whats up men! I opted for the spicy miso and gyoza. Both were great! My favorite part were the sauces on the side. I love dressing up my ramen and it made my bowl even that much more delicious. And of course, we finished it off with an ice cold pitcher of beer. Great to round out the meal. Loved my late night meal at Whats up men! I'm sure ill be back to slurp up an 11pm bowl again very soon. read more

By far my favorite ramen spot. Finding a spot with a good veggie ramen is hard. Although the tanmen has chicken broth, it's nice to have a non-pork option with veggies. An egg was a nice add on and less expensive than most ramen places. Place is small but they get you in and out quickly. Staff are friendly. I highly recommend what's up men. read more

After a long day of disney land ca adventure, if course I had to get some comforting food. . I really love the mug and appetizer combo for 12 bucks. It's like a a yes for me. I love a good snack and a ice cold beer in a mug. I got a japanese beer and some potstickers to go with the combo. . Ramen- definitely authentic and taste soooo good late at midnight. This spot closes at 1am which is a winner. Not only does it close late but the bowl of ramen was sooo good. . Love the ramen noodles it's like cooked perfectly, not hard or soft. The noodle wasn't too thick or thin either. The soup base was umami and flavorful. The egg was perfect. The portion was great for a midnight snack. . Service was quick and food came out quick like less than 10 minutes. Quick dinner and go back to the hotel to sleep and take off for flight. Close to Anaheim disney for me which was a short 15 minute drive. Hope this helps and thanks for reading. Have a yelptastic day. read more

Brought the family for dinner. The gyoza came out a bit well done but other than that the meal was perfect! The place was busy on a mo day night but the service was still good and attentive. Thanks, Whatsup Men! UPDATE: What's Up Men totally remedied the overcooked gyoza situation! The gyozas were actually barely overcooked and weren't even that bad but What's Up Men took the initiative and remedied the situation. I'm completely happy with their way they handled it. You're the best, What's Up Men!!! read more

Service is SO FAST here. Like I ordered and my California roll was out before I could even unlock my phone. And then my ramen and chicken teriyaki bowl lunch special was out before I even added wasabi to my soy sauce. The California roll was good. It tasted a lot just like mayo but maybe that was from how creamy and perfect the avocado was so it was a textural thing. I got the cha ramen with an extra egg. That's non-spicy miso. Good flavor on the broth. It could have been deeper but honestly, this was good for me. I'm a little sick and don't like when the broth is too thick and sticky. It drank down smooth and comforting. Veggies were good and the chashu was tender. the eggs were perfectly jammy and marinated. the dish comes with a half egg, and i ordered an additional egg. and then i ordered another full egg for my leftovers. :9 And I really enjoyed the chicken teriyaki. Good flavor. Not chewy. Not too saucy. A delightful lunch and I can see why this place is so popular with the csuf crowd. Decent mix of table and bar seating inside and a chill playlist. Service was also attentive and nice. read more

Absolutely loved the Kuro Ramen at What's Up Ramen. The broth was deep, rich, and perfectly balanced with that bold black garlic flavor--super comforting without being overpowering.
