One thing about me is if there is broccolini on the menu, I am getting it and HiroNori never disappoints with the flavor and creaminess they pack into their vegan ramen. One piece of advice is to join the waitlist as early as you can as the wait can be lengthy since they host such a small space for dining, but once you're in, you'll be a loyal customer!

Hironori is a frequent rotation of ours, it gets very busy so plan ahead of time. Their busiest on the weekends and dinner time but the food is honestly so worth it. My husband gets the tonkatsu ramen and I get the shoyu ramen. The ramen combos are also a great deal because you get a side salad and chicken or pork rice bowls. They give you the option of garlic and a spicy sauce as well to top your ramen. The locations are small and casual indoor dining in a busy shipping center so be mindful of parking.

This is a secret fine because it was hard to find the front of the store if it's your first time here. The best way to find where it is by looking for the white flags, they have hanging in the front. OK now onto the food it was literally an amazing series of Ramen choices. You could go with a thick tonkatsu, Katsu broth that came with the most amazing pork belly and have all your sides either mixed in or on the side. I got to shoyu Ramen and the broth was light and actually added a great flavor of wine added with spicy and garlic sauces on the side. Service was pretty good with people being pretty attentive and something unique that I thought was the chopsticks on the side where sturdy and not the cheaper light Pinewood chopsticks. We also agreed with everyone by getting the crispy chicken and it was such a delight because the crunch of the coding was actually more flavorful and thicker than I thought as compared to other Japanese Ramen places. We also got the combo with salmon poke and they gave a mountain full of rice that came with the side salad. That was good if you are looking for something not too heavy and a good side.

Food is amazing, you have a 90 minute window to eat, hangout, and chill. Tons of parking, come early this place gets crowded sometimes a line can form. Workers are super friendly, there is usually a gratuity tip that's automatic of $16, of course you have the option to opt out as well. They do tell you after you eat.

Great service and cute place in large Irvine strip mall. We will be back for sure. I ordered pork belly ramen and my husband had the pork belly salad! Both were delicious.

Delicious ramen, rice bowls, and karaage! Don't let the wait time deter you since it moves by pretty quickly. We came with a group of 4 on a weekend and the wait time was ~30 mins but we got seated within 15 mins. Once you order food comes out quickly and it was the perfect combination. Karaage was light and crispy. Not too oily and great to pair with some rice. The ramen was hearty and the chasu was melt in your mouth. I couldn't get enough of it so got it with the rice bowl and both ways were tasty. Mix the rice with the jammy egg yolk and spinach and chef's kiss! Both entrees were rich so I even had some leftovers.

10/10 Tonkotsu Ramen - Omg idk where to even start. This bowl of ramen is BOMB. Everything from the broth, to the beautifully made shashu, and ooo! Bean sprouts are also in here. I can't forget about the yummy egg!!! My fav spot to get ramen. 10/10 service is a 10/10 everytime i come here. They provide amazing service. 5/10 price - $17.90 BEFORE TAX AND TIP. Keep in mind they will tell u they're adding 16% tip on ur tab and if u would like to change it out. I hate that... they shouldn't be pressuring ppl like that on the tip. Smh. The total after tip and taxes came out to $22.

I came here on a Sunday night with one of my girlfriends. We thought there wasn't a wait but once we got inside and added our name to the waitlist, we saw that there were 50 people ahead of us! Wow. We decided to wait in the car. The wait was about an hour. Butttt it was worth it! The ramen here was soooo good. The noodles were a perfect texture and bouncy. The broth was very rich and flavorful! The restaurant was somewhat small hence the wait but people eat and go so it was not too bad. I'd def come back!

This is the second time I have tried HiroNori and it does not disappoint! They will permanently stay in my top places for ramen! The service was great and the ramen came out quick. The broth for the Tonkotsu ramen was SO rich, tasty, and flavorful. Everything you could possibly want for your ramen. The Shoyu ramen was quite delicious as well and the broth was yummy! If you want possibly some of the best ramen out, look for HiroNori. They have multiple locations in LA as well.
