Cold weather could only mean two things for me: scarf and hot soupy food. Sometimes I’d go for hot pot, sometimes I opt for a little ramen. These are my comfort food to warm the soul. 😉 Jinya Ramen is a small restaurant and has bar seating. My spicy miso based ramen is …

What’s Up, Fullerton, CA
I love finding good eateries especially those that have been right under my nose. Came to What’s Up with a friend who apparently knew about it before I did. I was pleasantly surprised, as I’m usually in this area quite often and never noticed this new Japanese ramen noodle restaurant. Keyword: new-ish. 😛 …

Kouraku Restaurant, Los Angeles, CA
It’s been years since I took a stroll through Little Tokyo, Japanese Town in Los Angeles. It’s a lot cleaner than China Town, that’s for sure. 😀 And of course, it’s probably the best place to go for sushi and ramen. There are a lot of ramen places to choose, including the one …

Shin-Sen-Gumi Hakata Ramen, Fountain Valley, CA
This is the second time I’ve eaten here at Shin-Sen-Gumi in years, and I don’t remember it being very good the first time. But since this is the closest ramen place to me while in the area, and my friends seem to recommend it, I decided to give it another chance. It’s slightly better …

Tampopo Restaurant, Buena Park, CA
Tampopo Restaurant is a small mom and pops Japanese ramen eatery run by non-Japanese owners. It’s often said that ramen isn’t good if it’s not made by Japanese chefs. To me, it doesn’t really matter. But apparently, this restaurant kind of fits the stereotype. 😛 I love ramen, and I’m pretty sure I’m able …

Ajisen Ramen, Irvine, CA
People might disagree with me on this, but I think of all the ramen places I’ve eaten, this might be the best so far, even if it’s not considered “authentic ramen” by some. That’s probably because the flavor is just right to me, and they give you generous portions of meat – well, depends …

Man Doo Rang Dumpling House, Buena Park, CA
Came here on a Thursday night and there was already a wait, but it was short. We were seated within 10 minutes. I know it’s a dumpling place, and I should’ve gotten dumplings. Haha. But because my friend already got some, I didn’t feel the need to get it anymore. Yes, I’m one of *those* …

Ramen Yamadaya, Costa Mesa, CA
I dined here earlier tonight with my friends. My first time at Ramen Yamadaya. Try saying those syllables together a few times, it’s a tongue twister I yells ya! There are two huge tables in the middle of the restaurant that fit 10. Our party was 8, so one of the waitresses was hesitant to …
