More and more Ramen chains are popping up all over the place. With ten plus locations throughout the southland, Yoshiharu Ramen has a good product, and is worth a visit. The Tonkotsu Spicy Miso Ramen is very good. The broth has a little bit of heat and overall, a very tasty flavor. I've had this twice and I will have it again. Also good is the Spicy Beef Rice Bowl, as well as a Spicy Tuna Cut Roll. All the flavors are on point. The service is friendly and efficient, and this location is nicely decorated. Also, no stupid hidden fess added to the bill. I will be back. read more

Nice ramen! Your regular options are there! I got the tonkatsu miso ramen and was able to sub the chasu with tofu.bowl comes with flavored eggs because at some places they charge more for eggs as an extra topping. Restaurant had plenty of parking which is a plus! It is located on the side of target where the target center used to be. read more

Stopped by today to get some sushi and they didn't have any wasabi. No worries, I guess. But what made it sad was the quality of my spicy tuna. It was a day away from being spoiled (pictures included). Service was alright but we had to ask for basics such as chop sticks, plates for our edamame, and we didn't get offered refills on our waters. This place was once a go to spot but now I feel as if it's been slowly but surely declining. read more

Yoshiharu Ramen serves Hokkaido Japanese ramen and other Japanese dishes. We decided to give Yoshiharu Ramen a try and was a little disappointed. It wasn't busy when we came in for dinner. The restaurant's decor is very cute and fits well with their theme. Our server was nice, but not the best in execution. I requested Wakame (wet seaweed) to be added to the Ramen. We received Nori (dried seaweed) instead. We made the best of it. We also asked for a couple spoons to make it easier to get broth, since we were sharing it. He brought over a couple of plastic spoons??!! He asked if we wanted an egg, which we said yes. But, NO egg in Ramen?! Chicken Ramen: Vegetable Broth with Chicken Base. Broth a little bland- expecting more of a chicken flavoring. More flavor towards the bottom of the bowl. More of a umami flavor. Nice bite on noodles so it was cooked well. The Chicken was a little dry. I liked the Kikurage, wood ear mushroom. Since we were splitting the ramen, we asked for 2 extra bowls. Found the main ramen bowl kept the broth warmer. Potato shrimp- deep fried shrimp wrapped with potato strings. It made for a pretty presentation. Clever idea. However, it did not taste as good as it looked. The potato strips could have used some salt after being fried. It was crunchy. The sweet & sour sauce was good, which helped with the flavor. Crunch Roll Sushi - the shrimp tempura was not as crunchy. The spicy Mayo and Eel sauce very good. Texture inside a little softer than I like. I liked the crunchy bits on top - gives it texture. I really did want to like the food but found it to be just okay. read more

If you are hungry and want anything other than ramen don't come here. We came here for dinner on a Friday night it was not packed and we still waited 45 minutes for one roll of sushi, edamame, and bento box. They claimed to only have one chef making all the appetizers and sushi however the restaurant appeared to be full of people eating only ramen. Expect long waits! We had to ask for the edamame as they had forgot about it. They didn't serve wasabi or ginger with the sushi, I had to ask for it. Overall, I would probably try a different location next time. read more

Decided to try this spot because it was close to where I was staying. Seriously one of the best Ramens Ive ever had. It was there Lobster Ramen, which isn't the reason. The broth was so many depths of flavor. It had a good amount of seafood, the veggies and fries garlic all complemented each other. This place has become one of my regular stops when I'm in town.

I liked this place. The ramen noodles were cooked perfectly, firm but not undercooked. The broth was full bodied, but not overly salty, which I feel most ramen places are guilty of. My favorite dish was the bento box. Most bento boxes come out in those painted chipped sectional boxes, but this one was artfully arranged on a black tray, with 4 bowls: neat, clean, and yet artful, in the Japanese aesthetic of detail, refinement, and clean design. The Tempura was exceptional: batter was crunchy and firm with enough flavor, that I found I didn't need the dipping sauce. Overall, the food was excellent, nothing was over salted, I could taste all the flavors, which were clean and refreshing. Decor was also nicely done. Place was clean, furniture in great shape, and the music was at a volume to provide a relaxing atmosphere without intruding on the dining experience. In summary, this place hit all the right check boxes: great food, nothing overdone, excellent presentation, and professional, courteous, attentive wait staff that you would expect from an authentic Japanese establishment. Definitely will be back. read more

Husband and I decided to try this place instead of our favorite pho restaurant next door. They had a BOGO 50% second order of equal or lesser value for appetizers, alcohol and rolls. We ordered their Tonkatsu Spicy Black ramen and Baked Salmon and Shrimp Tempura rolls. Here are our thoughts: * Tonkatsu Spicy Black - Visually, it looked great. The first few bites were great, but then it sort of went downhill from there. We both found the broth to be too cooled down from the ingredients just a few bites in. Their broth either needed to be higher up in temperature or they needed to let their ingredients warm up more before putting it in. Taste-wise, the broth was really salty and oily. I'm a soup girl and definitely drink up as much ramen broth as I can--but I could not with this bowl. I think there was still more than half of the broth left when I was done. * Baked Salmon and Shrimp Tempura Roll - It was a standard baked roll, nothing spectacular. Definitely on the sweeter side, but the imitation crab and shrimp filling helped round it out a bit. It had a special mayo sauce and eel sauce on top. Overall, we weren't that satisfied with our meal. They took a long time to make our food despite being the only ones there initially, but it looked like they were pretty busy with takeout orders. The two server girls weren't very attentive and kind of hung out in the back, where one of them seemed to be training the other. We may come back to try some of their other items like their bentos or rice dishes, but probably won't do their ramen or rolls again. read more

I am not a frequent yelp reviewer. I try not to leave underwhelming reviews, unless it is severe. I try to be as understanding as possible because I want to support businesses. However, my family and I were very disappointed today. This was my second visit. I came here for my first visit a couple of months ago. During my first visit, the food was spectacular. It was freshly made with high-quality ingredients. The tempura was fabulous with large shrimp and pieces of veggies. The fried oyster and the Cajun Seafoodyaki had the perfect flavor with fresh seafood. My family agreed we should come back for another visit soon. Fast forward a couple of months, we visited for the second time today. And it was truly disappointing. The Takoyaki came out undercooked. It was icy inside when I bit into it. The tempura was small, undercooked, bland, and soggy. The Tako Wasabi was not fresh. The Cajun Seafoodyaki was so tiny compared to what I got during the first visit. The yakitori was subpar, the veggies were tiny, meat was underseasoned. The waiter also said no Sashimi was available since the main chef wasn't there. The hot sake we ordered was bland too. It was overheated to the point that it lost flavor. There was an elder man in the kitchen who kept staring at our table after an item was served. We asked the waiter if the owner or chef had changed. He said the 2 main chefs were out to train other locations. This place must be either cost cutting or lost the chef that was making some fabulous dishes. I understand businesses must make a profit, but seriously, my experience here today was maybe the worst I ever had. And it's so shockingly disappointing since our first visit was so good. I will be exploring the other few Izakaya options in the area instead. read more

Food // I haven't had Yoshiharu in quite sometime, but it has been cold lately so the time had finally come to get a hot bowl of ramen. To start off we ordered some gyozas and crispy rice with spicy tuna. Both of the appetizers were just okay, nothing special, and to be honest I probably would not order them again. For my ramen I went with the Tonkotsu Shoyu (spicy), which was nice and spicy, but the bowl in general was just kind of meh. Location // This shopping center is getting good, there is some good places around here. Parking can be a little tight, but there is a good amount of it around. Inside there is about 10ish tables, but having a large group may be hard as most tables are for 2-4 people. Notes // I am glad I was able to check Yoshiharu off my list of ramen spots to check out this cold winter season, but I think there is plenty of other better ramen spots around. read more

Kind of wish ramen places such as kitakata, or what's up men quality would open up here. Yoshiharu is kind of like your Panda Express, you go there for a quick meal and not expecting anything too awesome Most of the 5 star review here are from those with only 1-2 reviews. So can't be trusted. Got the black tonkatsu and unagi bowl. Unagi was not bad. Ramen was mid. The pork in the ramen was pretty tough and overly cooked. Kind of cold too. Soup was lukewarm. Noodle itself was standard. I think for a quick fix meal it's a doable place. If you love ramen and must have quality ramen then probably go to one of the aforementioned names at the top. But again look for real reviews before calling for the overview inflated stars. read more

As for the sushi itself, some pieces were solid while others felt a bit average and not especially memorable.

I was craving some cold soba and saw that Echizen offered Zaru Soba! We waited about 15 minutes or…read moreso for a table for 2. Under their Light Dinner section, they offer a Zarusoba for $12.00 and a Tempura Udon/Soba with Shrimp Tempura for $13.00. However, if you want Zarusoba with Tempura, they charge an extra dollar. The Zarusoba was good, but it would be nice if they gave a bit more sauce for dipping. I also got a Sashimi Salad, which had a lot of sashimi! It had salmon, tuna, and a white fish. Pretty good, but it could have used a little more dressing as well. The Combination Plate with Salmon and Tempura was enjoyable. It comes with a piece of salmon, a variety of tempura (shrimp, broccoli, sweet potato, onion), side salad, miso soup, rice, tempura sauce, and teriyaki sauce. Salmon was cooked well, and I liked all of the tempura! Their Lunch Specials are originally what caught my eye, but it seems like they don't have anything similar for dinner. Instead, everything is a la carte with the exception of a few combination plates. I wish they would do dinner specials similar to their lunch specials! Parking here is pretty difficult. The lot gets packed with several cars circling around hunting for a spot. They're also going some construction right now which doesn't help. There is a large parking lot where the Home Depot is next door, but they specifically have signs posted to say you can't park there.

Been coming here since 2014…read more Started as a broke Cypress College student now working in corporate. Authentic Japanese-owned, mostly Japanese staff, with a couple of long-timers who have clearly found their forever workplace - over a decade and counting. New owner took over when the original retired, a few small changes here and there, but the food and service? Barely touched. That is the highest compliment a ownership transition can get. Check IG for their lunch specials from M-F. I am leaving this review purely out of self-interest. This place cannot close.

Server Boy: Interior is nice - tho not very spacious, so make a reservation or get here early

Katakana Ramen is a great spot in Buena Park, CA for soothing and delicious Japanese ramen! The…read moreramen is rich, flavorful, and clearly made with care. The broth has great depth, the noodles are perfectly cooked, and the portions are satisfying. The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, making it a place you actually want to come back to. Afraid to dine alone? Don't be! I've gone there by myself many times, and even though you're sharing the space with others, the food and overall vibe make it feel comforting like you're in your own little world, just enjoying a really good bowl of ramen. LISA truly stands out--she's incredibly approachable and welcoming. Whenever I can't decide or don't remember what to order, she always makes the best recommendations, and they never miss. You can also tell she treats everyone, including her colleagues, with genuine respect, which says a lot about the kind of environment here. What matters most is that she genuinely listens and really takes your feedback about the food seriously! When you visit Kitakata Ramen, ask for Lisa!!! Great food, great service, and great people. Highly recommend!!!

We came with a group of three, and while waiting for the third person to arrive, the two of us…read moreasked if we could sit down and order first. At first, they refused to seat us because our full party hadn't arrived yet. The restaurant wasn't busy at all, and there were several empty four-person tables available. I also noticed other tables with only two people sitting at four-person tables. I explained that we were ready to order food for our friend in advance as well, and eventually we were allowed to sit and place our order. The whole situation felt unnecessarily inflexible, especially since the restaurant wasn't crowded. The server who initially refused us also came across as unfriendly and visibly annoyed. The ramen was good, but the karaage chicken came out overly greasy, and the dumplings seemed undercooked. I've visited multiple times before, but unfortunately this was my worst experience here.

I was looking for a sushi dinner spot and this one hits the spot. I came here on a Saturday night…read moreand there was a small line. I ordered the Chef's Special 12 Pcs of Sashmi, Fried Soft Shell Crab, Salmon Roll, and Clam Miso Soup. Every dish was packed with unique flavors and everything was pretty fresh. Great spot and will have to be back for other items!

While I loved the interior decorations, sadly that was the only enjoyable part of my meal.

Disappointed, I asked for their closest option and was recommended the 8pc chef's choice sushi. What I got were two pieces each of the standard tuna, salmon, etc. I guess the chef's choice today was their cheapest, most common fish. It's sad to consider that they're using their omakase option to lure customers in during the slow days of the week. This limited availability wasn't on their website hosted menu. I was very excited for this place at first but unfortunately I don't think I'll be back.

It's a Saturday and husband was ready for sushi. I had another place in mind, but they didn't take…read morereservations and we're not about to chance it and wait. So we found this place and it was in the same vicinity and yay, they took reservations. Made reservations same day for a 18:30 seating. Service is impeccable. We were welcomed with hot towels, and this impressed me: when our server asked if we wanted cold or hot water. Love it! We opted for hot, better for digestion :) Our libation: Kubota sake - semi dry, rich, clean Our dishes: Assorted sashimi (16 pcs) - omakase. No soy sauce needed. Chef prepared with delicious flavors in mind. Tiger scallops - served in a what appears to resemble petrified wood, carved into a long boatlike dish. Hokkaido shrimp, cilantro oil, chilaquita (Peruvian onion relish), sweet potato crisp, smoke aji Amarillo (Peruvian yellow chili) Leche de tigre (rich emulsion of limes, Peruvian spices and chilis) - A complexity of flavors that comes together so completely. Eat with spoon. The delicate potato crisp finishes the bite with a little crunch. Udon picante - bell peppers, quinoa and 2 jumbo shrimp. Love the heat level. Comfort food at its best. Salmon parmesan - Nikkei sushi - seared salmon, parmesan bitter, eel sauce , arare, lime. Amazing. O toro sushi - the fattiest cut of tuna. Eat as is. Again chef prepared. No added seasoning required. Parri maki - fried shrimp, cream cheese, seared tuna topped with chimichurri, aji amarillo, chalaquita, ponzu. Food experience was enhanced by their impeccable taste in music. Super chill, soft beats stream the restaurant. With its perfect lighting too sets all the good moods for us. Don't wait for this fine dining experience of Japanese and Peruvian fusion. Note: when they ask if you want soy sauce, say No, thank you. It would be a shame to kill the taste of a beautiful dish with any added sauce. Kampai! Salud!

Overall, an amazing dining experience! The fusion of two cultures is executed…read morebeautifully--combinations you wouldn't expect somehow come together perfectly. The fish quite literally melts in your mouth, and every dish is top-notch, from flavor to presentation. The staff is wonderful--so polite and attentive, taking the time to explain each dish and what it entails. The chef is incredibly kind, and you can truly feel the passion and care he puts into every plate. I highly recommend sitting at the bar for the full experience, where you can interact directly with the chef. We've been here twice now, revisiting a few favorites and trying some new dishes the second time, and everything has been consistently outstanding. The cebiche is an absolute must-try, and you can't go wrong with anything in the Nikkei section--we've tried most of them, and every single one delivers. Would 1000000x recommend coming here for any occasion.
