Ichitaru Ramen

Great spot for a ramen. Came here for early lunch, had ramen and chicken rice bowl, all was very tasty and the server was helpful with making a choice on our orders . Iced tea was great as well as hot tea . Nice atmosphere overall, very attentive with water refills and other needs that we have, especially having kids with us Recommend this place and would come back when in the area .

Not sure how helpful my review will be since I only eat Tan Tan ramen. I can’t eat fatty meats or textures like chasu so there aren’t many options for me. When I lived in NY most restaurants have Tan Tan but here in OC, I’ve yet to come across a restaurant that serves it. That is why I was delighted to see a ground pork and Chasu option. My brother gets my chasu (he normally orders extra for his bowl) and I get my ground pork. Most of their ramens don’t have an egg or bamboo or corn (all extra). The portions for appetizers and noodles were big. We all left very full. Food was also very good. Service was also great. Our server was really nice. We came 30 minutes before closing and they still had a lot of guests so the kitchen was a tad slow. I normally never want to go get ramen but now tha

Edit 6/04/25: As promised I'm updating my review, the establishment replied to my review stating that they updated the facilities to not have the odor problems anymore, so I returned to check it out.

I'm happily upgrading from 2 to 5 stars, as this visit was even better than the last few. ---------- Old review: I really liked the food here, and have been here twice now and been impressed with the ramen and appetizers each time. Unfortunately, the building itself reeks of sewage, so much so that we considered walking out within 10 seconds of entering the building. It smelled this way both times (several weeks between visits) and was really difficult to enjoy our meal while smelling

I usually order ramen and I absolutely love it! However this time I ordered a bento box. I could eat very little of the meal because the chicken had a horrible taste. Something isn’t right with it. I’m afraid to give it to my dog. Very disappointed.

Another day on the road food tasting. Today we picked Itchitaru Ramen located in Cypress California. The restaurant is located at the back of the strip mall. As we entered, we noticed about 8 patrons busy enjoying their food. The restaurant with about six tables. There is also a bar with private partitions to enjoy your meal in private. As we entered we were warmly welcomed by the server and promptly seated. The server was knowledgeable when it came to the items on the menu. We ordered Takoyaki, Garlic Bomb Ramen with pork, Avacado Bomb and a Peach tea. The Takoyaki was absolutely fantastic looking and smelled great. They were deep fried to a crispy brown topped with Bonito shaving and sauce. The Garlic Bomb Ramen was ordered with medium heat... a sip of the red broth was spicy, warm
