Ramenos

Beautiful modern place. The ramen is great and the soup is blissfully delicious. I would return again to try other ramen dishes they had. I had the beef brisket one.

All the offerings you would expect from a good ramen place. The miso takensu ramen broth was silky smooth and tasty. Great decor!

Try the potato wrapped shrimp, tonkatsu black ramen! And the surprise is the katsu curry! It tastes as good as our favorite Japanese curry place!!!!! We will be back!

Ramenos?! Vamonos!!

$5 ramen Grand Opening Special

Formerly a Chipotle, Ramenos is the latest ramen shop to open up behind the Orange Curtain in the OC. While scouring the interwebs for the latest deal/freebie, my eyes struck gold when they found Ramenos would be having a $5 ramen Grand Opening special July 20-21. Arriving right before opening, I immediately sat myself by the tree centerpiece located in the middle of the restaurant Now, the dilemma - spicy miso or tonkotsu black ramen? Decisions, decisions. I chose tonkotsu black ramen.

Soy sauce base w/ pork broth, chashu, egg, kikurage, bean sprouts, bamboo shoots, green onions & sesame seeds. Of course, I can't forget to mention the black garlic oil which is the star of the show. This bowl of wonderfulness was legit! I like how Ramenos includes an egg, which many ramen shops do not, for it makes it complete. The broth was oily, but in a good way, especially when a liberal dousing of chili oil was applied. Hey, I like it hot! The black garlic oil permeated each heaping spoonful. I would've preferred curly ramen noodles over the straight ones given, and a tad more al dente. Otherwise, my bowl of black tonkotsu ramen was delicious and I left begging for more. I was contemplating seeing if I could order another $5 bowl, this time the spicy miso, but my tummy was satisfied & I didn't want to be publicly shamed for abusing the offer ;p

Service was friendly & hospitable. A good amount of seating, Ramenos is not for large groups. I say mozy on over to the tree like I did. Parking is via a shared private lot. Ramenos is located next to Class 302 & Shabu Shabu Bar in the Hobby Lobby shopping center

A piping hot bowl of ramen always makes me happy! And, Ramenos, thankfully, came through in that department. They served a respectable black tonkotsu ramen, which even a huge garlic lover, like myself, would find satisfying. I'm eager to have their spicy miso ramen and I'm looking forward to visiting again soon.

Highly recommend!

I'm so glad Santa Ana finally has a high-quality ramen spot. I tried the Miso ramen -- like most good ramen places, it was delicious and comforting. The Spicy Miso broth is nicely seasoned and I'd probably get that next time. The karaage was perfectly crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. Sometimes it's hard to find well-cooked takoyaki, but they nailed it here. It had great flavors and was nicely cooked. I've never seen potato-wrapped shrimp anywhere. These turned out to be a really good appetizer too!
