Yoshiharu Ramen — Restaurant in Chino

My husband and I, we were craving for ramen, and normally, we would drive to our favorite Shinsengumi in Rosemead or Fountain Valley. However, it discouraged us when thinking of roundtrip traffic so I Google in search for a closer Ramen place and found this restaurant. Just a couple miles from our house. Yayyy. Located in Chino Spectrum area, (next to Men's Wearhouse), easy to find parking. Very nice settings interior, airy, modern and super clean. They have a check-in tablet at the entrance. We were greeted and seated quickly. Their menu is simple including selections of appetizer, ramen, rice bowls, rolls... I quickly ordered a Tonkotsu Spicy Miso, my husband got an Ebi (Shrimp) tempura for appetizers and a Tonkotsu Miso. Food was served within 10'. Shrimp tempura was delicious. Very crispy, not too much of coated batter, therefore, not oily at all, its dipping sauce was good as well. Love it. My ramen noodles was perfectly cooked. Since I ordered the Spicy one, but, I requested spicy paste on the side so I can control the level of spiciness to my taste and voilà, my ramen broth was delicious. My husband gave a thumb up approval for his ramen too. Service was fast, attentive and friendly. Server was frequently checked on us for water refilled.

FYI, ramen is $1 off for lunch and 20% off Seniors discounts on Tuesday. Restaurant closed 3pm-6pm. Would definitely come back to try some other...

Rating the food alone: totally a 5! Definitely, definitely come eat ramen here. I've been twice now.

The first time, we dined in. Loved the atmosphere and decor, loved the vibe, loved everything. The place was pretty busy for the pre-covid-mask-lift (they were adhering to the spatial guidelines and everything, they just had a good amount of business). The only reason I'm giving this place a 4, is because the service was slow. But it was only one guy serving, cleaning, and dealing with the massive amount of to-do orders they had. It got so busy that even one of the cooks came to help him out. BUT THE FOOD WAS FANTASTIC!! We got the tonkotsu spicy black ramen and the tonkotsu shio. The spicy black ramen was amazing. The broth was so rich and flavorful, and the chashu was delicious. AND THAT EGG!! Ugh, amazing.

So then I came back with another friend. This time, we got a to-go order. The wait time was super quick and everything was separated nicely in our orders. We ordered more tonkotsu spicy black, and also the spicy miso. And again, everything was phenomenal.

We'll definitely keep...

The experience was bad enough for me to write this review. If you're the owner and reading this, you NEED TO CHECK UP ON YOUR COOKS. Everything me and my wife ordered was BLAND. The Ramen Broth, Meat, Fried tofu, pork Katsu, and Curry we ordered had NO FLAVOR. I'm Especially disappointed with the Ramen broth because apparently it's supposed to be "#1 Ramen in the OC" but it had no flavor. The broth was basically oily, spicy, peppery liquid. I asked the server for soy sauce so I could flavor it up. The only thing that had salt or any flavor was the Egg in my Ramen, but it was TOO SALTY. WTH?! Also when receiving our food, I got my ramen but we had to wait 10 minutes for my wife to get her bento box next.

I'm sure this place is supposed to be great. All the food LOOKED delicious but it honestly made us feel like we had covid Again because everything was just so BLAND.

To the Owner and the cooks, Please taste your food. This was a...
