J SAN RAMEN FULLERTON — Restaurant in Fullerton

When you eat a lot of ramen, there are certain things that you come to expect - buttery soft chashu is one of them. It's sad to say, you will not find it here. At least not on this night. The pork was firm to the tooth, and a bit too salty for my taste. Perhaps they let it cook too long. In fact, I didn't even finish the two pieces that they provided.

The miso broth (they offer spicy, or not. I chose the not) was flavorful. The noodles were thin (I pulled some up to show you in my image). I prefer thick curly noodles, but these were perfectly cooked and were more than acceptable. And they include half an egg, which many places make you pay for.

Three stars may be a bit harsh, but if you have more than four in your party, you will be crowded, or stuck with a table on the end of your booth for four. Or squeezed together on your booth bench. Spartan is a generous description of the interior. Five bare wooden booths with a thin cushion on the seat and a couple small tables for two. I may have caught them on an off night, but I don't think...

This was my first time trying J san. Im a fan of japanese curry so decided to try the fullerton location.

We came on a Sunday afternoon and there was only one other family. So plenty of space. I can see it getting crowded easily during busy times.

This is a sit down style place. We were given menus, ordered at the table, got food and paid like a standard resteraunt. So probably not the best if looking for a fast food style setting.

We got chicken katsu curry and spicy beef curry. Both were delicious but if I had to rate it, it would be behind coco. The chicken curry wasnt all too spicy. Maybe mild. The beef did have a little kick to it.

Each dish was $14. With two drinks and tip came to around $40 for two people. Not cheap but not the worst.

My only real complaints were they left the front door open and flies got in and they kept playing the same song over and over again.

Would recommend but there are definitely better curry...

This place is a cozy, budget-friendly spot which we think is run by one guy. He does everything—from cooking to serving—making each bowl of ramen. The broth is rich, the noodles are great. The prices are unbeatable to our standards for refrence in colorado you pay 20-50 dollars for food per person. We on average payed 17 bucks ( total of 105 for whole meal with drinks) Despite the solo operation, service is quick and friendly our table of six left in an hour . He also took us in a few minutes before closing, which was so nice because he didn't have too. We read reviews and were a little nervous but I think people need to be kinder as well, for a one man show this place is wonderful and deserves...
