santouka grand opening – irvine, ca
Whadya know, Irvine finally has good ramen. Santouka ramen and Mitsuwa supermarkets go hand in hand, and with Mitsuwa’s new Irvine store follows a Santouka in the food court. Be warned, though.

ramen rating: santouka, take 2 – costa mesa, ca
More than one person has taken me to task for not trying the tokusen toroniku (choice fatty pork) ramen at Santouka. Interestingly, not one of my friends think Santouka is very good. But then again, none of them have tried the toroniku either. So finally, I convinced two other ramen-loving (well, ramen-enjoying anyway) friends to…

Santouka Ramen. Santouka Santouka Santouka. Everywhere you look, someone is saying how great Santouka ramen is. Is it really *that* good? Is it everything everyone says it is? Or is another case of ‘don’t believe the hype?’ This was actually the fourth time I’ve been to Santouka Ramen. The first time was in Tokyo, where…

ramen rating: nidaime tsujita ramen – costa mesa, ca
Yawn…(stretch). What a nice day. Cool, fall weather…lazy, big, puffy clouds floating across the sky. It’s a perfect day for ramen! Mitsuwa is having another food fair, and I’m in the mood for tsukemen (dipping noodles). The down side of lunch at Mitsuwa is the crowd, and boy, not only was it crowded today, but…
