In Anaheim Packing District Food Hall
Elle S.

This has been my choice 2 years in a row at the Anaheim Packing District Food Hall! The vegan ramen is delicious and has yummy fried tofu pieces. The portion is huge, I could've almost split this with someone. Service was fast and friendly and ordering was simple and efficient. Iced tap water is available, the employee even pointed that out after I ordered a bottle of water - I appreciated her trying to save me some money! I was asked what spice level I wanted (I chose none, but if you like spice you'd like this option to customize to your tastes) I also got a cut avocado sushi roll, which was fresh and delicious. Spicy mayo is available at the condiments bar among other things, and is complimentary when most other places charge extra. I do wish there was a combo avocado cucumber roll option. My colleagues were pleased with their sushi hand rolls from here, too. A very solid option!

5 roll omakase + miso soup

Came by the Packing District with a friend after a long day in Anaheim. 100% agree with another reviewer who noted its pricy for the quality offered. I came on a Sunday afternoon and parking at the packing district was full so I parked for 2 hrs for free in a parking at city hall and walked 2 blocks over, though the district does also offer valet parking. You order at the counter and can sit anywhere inside however its very packed over the weekends so seating can get limited as a result. 5 roll omakase + miso soup 3/5, this was just okay, the fish didn't taste super fresh and though I finished all the rolls they weren't anything to write home about, I wouldn't get this again

Miso Spicy Ramen

Came to the Packinghouse District in Anaheim to get out of the rain and ended up at Zabon Ramen and hand rolls, perfect choice for a rainy day. We were craving soup, and the ramen did not disappoint. Everything was so delicious. We ordered the spicy miso ramen, and it was amazing, rich, flavorful, and definitely spicy in the best way. It had my nose running, but that's how you know it's good . We also added the mini chashu bowl which was absolutely bomb. The pork was tasty, and the pickled ginger strips added such a good punch of flavor. The value here is really good too. The mini chashu bowl is only $5.50 when you add it on, and for everything we ordered, the total came out to less than $30. For how filling and flavorful it was, that's a great deal. Service is kind of meh and more fast-food style, but honestly, the food was so good it didn't even matter. I still gave it 5 stars because the flavors were on point. Would definitely come back again.

Expensive for what it is. Food was prepared fresh. Went for a premium set but it did come out pricey at 20 ++ The tuna wasn't fatty as I would have liked. The crab was really good though... the yellowtail wasn't was sharp as I woild have wanted. It did smell a little bit. For 3 temaki / hand rolls... this seems a bit pricey. But you do pay for the location I guess. Service was quick but i did ordered on the kiosk. So yeah.

Zabon is located towards the middle of the upper floor at the Anaheim Packing District. They have two different ordering areas, one for hand and cut rolls on the left, and one for ramen, rice bowls, appetizers, and cut rolls on the right. After ordering, they give you a pager to let you know when your order is ready to come back and pick it up. There is plenty of seating all around the inside of the packing district. There is also an outdoor shaded patio right behind Zabon. We started out with a few cut rolls. She had the California roll ($12.50) and enjoyed it. I usually don't care much for California rolls, but I tried a few pieces, and it was surprisingly very good. I had the spicy tuna roll ($13.95) which is almost always my starter roll. It was just ok, and something almost tasted a little off. We were still a little hungry so I went back to the counter and ordered the crunchy salmon roll ($18.75). This was definitely the best roll of the night with great flavor. It has shrimp, cucumber, and avocado inside, wrapped with salmon, and topped with crunch and a few sauces. Both employees were friendly, and our orders were prepared quickly. There is a station next to the pick-up area that has various fresh sauces, prepackaged soy packets, and small plastic cups of ginger. I was a little disappointed that the wasabi is also prepackaged packets and not fresh. I deducted one star due to the so-so spicy tuna roll, prepackaged wasabi, and above average prices.

Caribbean Lobster Roll tasted rotten. Sushi upset stomach.
Matthew B.

Overpriced and Rotten. The Caribbean Lobster roll started and stopped with a single bite. What is I thinking? The lobster should have been put in the trash last night, not served as a weekend special today. My stomach is churning. Avoid this place.

Delicious food, easy to order and quick delivery of food. Nice selection, open seating inside the packing district. Very tasty food.

Mini pork bowl
Julio A.

Been to many many ramen shops.... This is among the best, pork never taste bad... always fresh... untethered never serve those old chazhiu .. and broth is amazing too Owner always always if you need anything, sometimes throw on free stuff One of the best and friendliest!

California Roll
Yuna J.

Was doubtful at first, especially when I saw them just pull rolls out of a fridge.. but to my surprise the food tasted pretty decent! Not pictured is the pork chashu bowl I took home, but that bowl was veryy good! Would recommend the bowl.

Chashu Bowl
Francis G.

Wanted try this place as I am a fan of ramen. They had a lot of other things here as it is not only ramen but they have sushi and hand rolls to offer as well as sides and rice bowls. It was kind of a warm day and so I got their version which Chashu bowl. Every bite was so good! The flavor of the Chashu was just divine! It was a great portion too although I will say it was quite pricey as I paid 20 for the bow but it's very good and worth it if you are willing to spend the money! The ambiance is what you would expect from the packing district, loud, bustling and full of people. The service was ok not much you can do other than order in person and wait for it but it was good. Overall this place gets a 5 star from me! I definitely will want to come back and try the ramen next time!

Spicy Miso Spicy Ramen and yellowtail collarbone
Nancy E.

Spicy miso ramen-5 stars Yellow tail collar bone- 5 stars The food here is amazing! Food taste fresh and portions are plenty! The spicy ramen has great umami flavor and the yellow tail collar bone is big and cooked to perfection! Doesn't need any dipping sauce. Taste great just the way it is!

Zabon is located upstairs in the Anaheim Packing District. Was craving ramen and decided to give it a try. They also have sushi on the menu as well. We ordered the Miso Ramen spicy, chicken karaage and added a Salmon Belly Avocado hand roll. They give you a buzzer and pick up when ready. Cashier was friendly and helped me decide which hand roll to get. The ramen broth looked very spicy but it was the perfect kick. The pork was tender and noodles were cooked just right. The chicken was crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. It was served over white rice (a generous amount) The hand roll was my favorite and i was tempted to get more! The salmon was fresh and the rice ratio was good. Overall a good spot!

Timothy Spencer T.

TLDR: A decent option in a location with a wealth of choices. It won't be the best ramen but it's better than those deemed average. I won't go out of my way just to come back here. Miso Ramen Set: You get the creamy and salty tonkotsu broth, ramen noodles that had good portions, and a good amount of chashu slices that was more fat than chashu. The noodles were cooked well as they were chewy and didn't just fall apart. The broth didn't get old the longer the meal went, but it wasn't good enough to drink as itself. Chicken Karaage bowl: This came with the set. The rice was pretty standard for Japanese rice, but the chicken was surprising. Crispiness was sacrificed for juiciness. I think the flavor was there, and it's a good side to pair with the ramen. Service: It's a food court, so the interaction you get with the staff is pretty much just ordering and the food handover during the pickup. Nothing to note here Ambiance: Packing district is a fun place to eat, but you may have problems finding a seat for parties more than 4. It's perfect for solo or pair diners, and I won't mind eating a bowl of ramen while enjoying the view of the location, and just being in the moment.

They are located on the second level on the Anaheim garden walk…read more Restaurant is not very large but has nice high ceiling offering the illusion of space. I only tired the spicy garnet- Spicy garnet: 4/5: this was a creamy chicken ramen. Though it was supposed to be creamy, the broth was still light and has a hint of creaminess rather than being heavy. The spice was delicate as well rather than tongue numbing or tummy upsetting. I infact added more spice mix that was available on the table top. What didn't work was the fact that the egg and chicken were cold. I understand they keep them cold to prevent them from going bad but I would have preferred them to heat it up serving it. Dunking them in hot soup might work but it ends up warming up the entire dish rather than keeping it hot. Other than that minor quibble this was a very decent bowl of ramen.

The wait was actually pretty short, which was awesome! We ordered the Quartz and the Garnet…read more Surprisingly, the vegetable-based broth in the Quartz was really refreshing. I wasn't a huge fan of the noodles, but they weren't bad. We also got the spicy cucumber, which was delicious. My only complaint is that the cucumber pieces were cut so large that by the time you finished chewing, all you could taste was the cucumber and not much of the sauce. I also tried the salmon sushi. It was okay. My biggest gripe, though, was that they didn't offer us any small plates, especially since we were sharing the appetizers. And to top it off, they don't validate parking, which was a huge bummer.

Haven't been to Ramen Mura in a minute, but I finally made it back today! My sister and I went…read moreafter class around 7 p.m., and there was no wait. It wasn't too busy when we arrived, either. As a heads-up, this place can fill up pretty quickly, especially for parties larger than three, but there's plenty of seating for parties of two! I always get the combo special, which includes any of their ramen bowls paired with one of the eligible sides or rolls. My go-to is the spicy tonkotsu ramen without bean sprouts or mushrooms. For the combo, I usually get the spicy tuna crispy rice along with my go-to ramen. What I love most about Ramen Mura is the quality of their broth and how they consistently nail the spice level. This is a great spot for spicy ramen if you want a noticeable kick without having the heat completely overpower the flavor. I used to come here pretty frequently last year, at one point even once a week, and one of the biggest reasons was the consistency of both the food and customer service. Unfortunately, today's experience with the service was quite disappointing. I'm not sure if it was just an off day, but it was a pretty bizarre experience. Shortly after we received our food, my sister and I realized we were still hungry and wanted to order an extra serving of noodles each. We were about halfway through our ramen bowls, so we put in the order, hoping the extra noodles would arrive around the time we finished our initial servings. About 10 minutes passed, and we had both finished our ramen, but our extra noodles were nowhere to be found. We started visibly looking around for assistance, and although the staff noticed us looking, no one acknowledged us. They seemed particularly attentive to other tables, which made the situation even more frustrating since we were clearly trying to get someone's attention. What made it even stranger was that when we initially ordered the extra noodles, our server relayed the order to the chef, who then started staring at us. It almost seemed like he was questioning why we wanted more noodles or thought we were ordering too much, but I can't say for sure what he was thinking. We eventually asked another waiter about our order, and he told us the noodles would be out in a few minutes. By that point, my broth was getting cold, so we told him we no longer wanted them. Suddenly, he responded, "Actually, it's coming out right now." Oh, really? Interesting timing. We requested canceling the order, but then felt pressured to taking the extra sides of noodles since "suddenly" it was ready even though our broth was cold at this point. Anyways, the food was tasty as always! Despite today's unusual and frustrating experience, I do want to give credit where it's due. When I visited more frequently, this place genuinely was top-notch in both food and service. The owner has always been incredibly kind and makes an effort to ensure everyone is enjoying their meal, which I really appreciate. I'd still recommend giving Ramen Mura a try, especially for the flavorful broth and well-balanced spicy ramen. While today's service experience was disappointing, it doesn't completely erase the many great experiences I've had here in the past. I've also noticed they get quite a few takeout orders, so that could be worth checking out, too!

On the inside, the restaurant is on the smaller side, but clean, comfortable and cozy. All of the staff has always been courteous, prompt and helpful. For those of us who haven't had it, mazeman is essentially soupless ramen. You'd mix all the ingredients into the noodles and the sauce, and dig in! The char siu is smoky and tender, the noodles are perfectly chewy. There are so many textures from the ingredients. And the tie and binds everything together are the perfect noodles. And when your done with the noodles, you'd be served with a small scoop of rice to mix into the left over sauce, and voila, you have your second entree! Just as appetizing, with a different texture.

Restaurant quality just hasn't been the same, but that is not the case here. Over the years their team has continued to offer delicious food and a nice casual dining experience.

I really love their white miso tsukemen, the thick noodles are slightly chilled and served with a wedge of lime which is a nice way to lighten the very rich broth.

I had originally asked for the regular ramen with added pork, but ended up with the tonkotsu miso instead, which was okay. The biggest issue for me was how extremely salty the broth was. It was so salty that instead of enjoying the soup as intended, I could only add about two spoonfuls to my noodles. I really wanted to enjoy it, but the saltiness completely overpowered the other flavors. I also tried the spicy pork bun, which unfortunately tasted like it had been pre-frozen and then steamed. The texture and overall taste just didn't feel particularly fresh. Maybe I caught them on an off day, but overall, this just wasn't the experience I was hoping for. Given the Michelin recognition and the expectations that came with it, I left feeling quite disappointed. Unfortunately, not one of my better ramen experiences.
