Ramen Akimoto

Excellent ramen, great price, a must visit!

My wife and I seek out ramen spots and this one does not disappoint. The chicken broth is a rich and flavorful. The noodles have the perfect chew and have their own mild wheat flavor. The pork chashu was tender and juicy.

We also got the spicy chicken karage which was mildly spicy but had a wonderful mild, salty, sweet flavor with juicy boneless meat. The whole meal was wonderful and left us feeling full and very satisfied.

We will definitely be back to try their other options which sounds great as well. I would say the best ramen I know of this side of the 91. If I want good ramen like this I usually have to head down the 55 20+ mins. A must try!

It’s amazing that Yorba Linda has a ramen restaurant of this incredible caliber and quality. They specialize in a chicken bone broth that is light, rich and flavorful, without being fatty. The chicken breast meat and chashu pork is incredibly moist and tender—absolute perfection. The noodles are bouncy and flavorful. The chicken karaage is whole thigh—massive portions, and what a value. The standards of Ramen Akimoto would find success in Japan. The wait staff and customer service is outstanding. Highest recommendation.

Nice and clean restaurant. We were pleasantly surprised to find a place that does jiro ramen here. Looks like they currently sell jiro ramen only on Monday and other days are their normal menu.
The noodles and soup were very good. The noodles were perfectly al dente with the right amount of chew. The soup was flavorful and normal was just the right amount of salt for me. It was nice that we could customize our bowl’s size, amount of veggies, and amount of flavor (I assumed that meant amount of tare).
My main complaint is with the chashu. It was cold when it came out. Perhaps it could be more thoroughly warmed before getting added to the bowl. The texture was also dry and stringy.
The wood ear mushroom also seemed a bit out of place. It didn’t seem to add anything to the dish, was cold, and also didn’t carry the soup flavor very well.
Given how good the noodles and soup were though, we would definitely come back to try their other bowls.

Cute little Ramen shop with polite staff. The Ramen was great! The seasoned egg was a masterpiece. Broth was so flavorful and the noodles were the perfect meaty texture. I went there on a date night with my wife and the experience was terrific. We will bring our whole family back soon!
