Dashiwa Ramen

Our second time coming here. Yes. We drove all the way from the OC just to return. We stumbled upon this gem during a business trip in the area. Their tonkotsu is amazing. Flavor and portion size is something only outside of Irvine can deliver.

I decided to try their Tonkotsu Black, with black garlic oil, and it's really delicious too. But the soup does get a little heavy and thick to drink. If you want to drink the broth too, then the original Tonkotsu is the safer bet.

Their beef bowl (gyudon bowl) is terrific too. Really can't go wrong with the items on their menu here.

While each of the ingredient is not amazing, they work together very well to make a delicious bowl of authentic ramen. The noodle was good and cooked just rice. Their broth was delicious and has the right amount of saltiness. It took only 5 minutes upon order for the food to arrive. Price was reasonable.

This is a fantastic Arcadia ramen shop. Came for lunch and was seated promptly. I ordered their Lunch Special combo A + C Spicy Red Ramen and Spicy Ground Pork mini bowl $15.50. Both were delicious and the service is friendly. Free parking in lot.

The overwhelming 5 star reviews don’t lie. This ramen place is fantastic. If you are getting the Tonkotsu lunch special make sure to specify which kind you want: original, black, or red. The red had a great spice level to it and you can make it super hot if you choose. The hibiscus tea was delicious and the karage chicken did not disappoint. One disappointing thing is they wouldn’t separate our check for the 4 of us at the table but the staff was very nice.
