Hokkaido Ramen Santouka, Irvine CA

As ramen goes, this offers the best authenticity in Orange County. It's probably been around the longest too. It doesn't compare to ones in Japan but its good and simple.

Great customer service experience this ramen is definetly the best in all Irvine and! Specially the tonkotsu misu, five stars totally recommended.

Hokkaido ramen was very good. I can see why this is a popular lunch spot. Located in Mitsuwa market toward the back. I didn’t realize there was side parking, but that would’ve put us right next to the food court. The ramen was good and my husband enjoyed his soy sauce char siu. All contained meat as far as I could tell so not a good vegetarian option.

Husband just missed the yellow chewy noodles.it's always been his go to whenever we're in Mitsuwa.

I liked it my first time, I tried the spicy miso soup. It was a take out order and it was good. If you order make sure to keep track of the time.

Santouka is hands down the best chain ramen place in LA.this one is no exception.the quality of their noodle is consistent no matter which store you go to.do keep in mind their soup base is of the more rich variety thou, so if you don't like your soup a little strong and heavy, you might want to keep this in mind. I do wish they put a little more natto in their natto bowl thou.and I forgot to ask for the mustard for it too.still taste great thou, so no big deal.

Excellent food, helpful staff members, regularly excellent mood. They charge affordable rates and the food quality is excellent. I recommend this place.

At the first moment you enter this restaurant the stuff gives you an agreeable feeling. Very friendly team, it is a kind restaurant to pass time with friends or with your date.tasty cooking, creative chief cook and stuff, honest cost and generous service. Highly recommended.

The meals and service were beyond my expectations. We truly liked the vibes of this place. Fantastic place to take my family out for dinner.

Very neat and accessible spot. They provide big meals and for economical prices. We loved the meals very much and the staff members were super affable and informative. Will definitely recommend this place.

Food is always amazing. Their to-go packaging is awesome! Takes about 5-10 minutes from order to ready to go (depending on how busy).

Would surely recommend visiting this place. Fantastic mood, flavorful dishes, great service. Keep up the good work.

Very well kept and accessible place. They serve big portions and for inexpensive rates. We liked the menu very much and the staff members were very amiable and chatty. I recommend this place.

Tonkotsu ramen is the best. We like trying new Santouka everywhere we go because it's so tasty. I really love it ️️️

This is really not very good ramen. The noodles are low quality, likely dry bagged noodles. The pork is poorly cooked and fattier than it should be. The spicy miso broth is not very well composed. It is grainy with what seems like dried pepper flakes thrown in. It is overpriced given the small portions and the fact that you are getting it in the back of a market. And if you want an egg, which should be standard, they charge $1.50 for it. Oh, and the egg is HARD boiled, not properly soft boiled. Just not good.
