I am at this ramen restaurant right now! I watched the clerk make to go ramen for the customers: add some hot water, 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, and 1 scoop of unknown powder in the to go box. He used scoop taste soup put in his mouth, then put it in a to go jar and stir it a few times, and taste the soup again! Then put other ingredients and noodles! God‼ ️In the future, anyone who dares to order this meal will be a warrior!

Nice date night spot for something quick and relatively cheap! Broth was really good, service was great. It’s small in size but it was busy with a lot of to-go orders when we were dining in so must mean the people like it! I love ramen, so it’s hard to find something negative to say about it. I would come back again if I’m going to be in the area!

Recently I had the pleasure of visiting The Ramen Cafe in San Clemente. The Ramen Cafe is in one of the most quaint and nostalgic centers that i have visited in San Clemente! It is truly a hidden gem. From the moment you walk into the restaurant, you enter a calming and warm home away from home and are hit with the most amazing smells coming from the kitchen. I was greeted by Cole, who helped me determine which ramen to go with. He gave me broth suggestions and even when I questioned him, he quickly offered me a sample of each! I ended up ordering the Spicy Pork Ramen with Tonkotsu broth and I can honestly say, it was the best Ramen i have ever had. The portions here are so generous and I was able to have enough to enjoy at dinner as well. My kids love the Garlic Noodles and now, i often order 2 sets of Edamame to save and snack on at home. Not only does The Ramen Cafe have amazing food, but the list of tea’s is extensive and they also offer beer and wine at a very reasonable price. I had the pleasure of meeting Elly the owner who made the experience that much more enjoyable. Her team enjoy where they work and that makes a huge difference! Thank you Elly for the amazing customer service, creating a warm and amazing environment and giving me a reason to want Ramen daily!

Good for a quick ramen fix! This place is the In-n-out burger of ramen. This is basically all they serve aside from some Vietnamese sandwiches and edamame.

I absolutely love the spicy chicken ramen from Cafe Ramen. The broth is bursting with flavor and the noodles have a great texture. I especially appreciate that they offer a gluten free option, which makes it accessible to everyone. The staff at Cafe Ramen always cook with love and it shows in the quality of the food. It’s our go to place for ramen and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a delicious and flavorful meal.

If you’re craving soup, this is the place to go! This is our family’s go to place in South Orange County. Their food is extremely flavorful with excellent portions. The 50/50 broth is delicious! Most importantly, they are all just really great people!
