Yoshiharu Ramen — Restaurant in La Mirada

Yoshiharu Ramen serves Hokkaido Japanese ramen and other Japanese dishes. 🐷🍜🥢🇯🇵🍣🍤

We decided to give Yoshiharu Ramen a try and was a little disappointed.

It wasn’t busy when we came in for dinner. The restaurant’s decor is very cute and fits well with their theme.

Our server was nice, but not the best in execution. I requested Wakame (wet seaweed) to be added to the Ramen. We received Nori (dried seaweed) instead. We made the best of it. We also asked for a couple spoons to make it easier to get broth, since we were sharing it. He brought over a couple of plastic spoons??!! He asked if we wanted an egg, which we said yes. But, NO egg in Ramen?!

🍜 Chicken Ramen: Vegetable Broth with Chicken Base. Broth a little bland- expecting more of a chicken flavoring. More flavor towards the bottom of the bowl. More of a umami flavor.

Nice bite on noodles so it was cooked well. The Chicken was a little dry. I liked the Kikurage, wood ear mushroom.

Since we were splitting the ramen, we asked for 2 extra bowls. Found the main ramen bowl kept the broth warmer.

🍤 Potato shrimp- deep fried shrimp wrapped with potato strings. It made for a pretty presentation. Clever idea. However, it did not taste as good as it looked. The potato strips could have used some salt after being fried. It was crunchy. The sweet & sour sauce was good, which helped with the flavor.

🍣 Crunch Roll Sushi - the shrimp tempura was not as crunchy. The spicy Mayo and Eel sauce very good. Texture inside a little softer than I like. I liked the crunchy bits on top - gives it texture.

I really did want to like the food but found it to...

Second time we gave this place a chance both times were total disappointment. When we went in last night it was pretty busy which we understand. Our group of 3 adults and 1 child were sat pretty fast and were able to order quickly. We wanted to order a roll but were told they did not have any rice. We said ok and just ordered ramens and a kid's ramen which came with gyozas. We got a round of waters and asked for lemon for it. We didn't get the lemon until out bowls started coming and we had to remind them about the lemon. We had to wait about 20 minutes before our food came out. We were eating and reminded staff of the gyoza again and they said it would be another 5 minutes. While eating the table next to us ordered a chicken bowl with rice and a spicy tuna roll. Both items came out almost immediately which really bothered us because we were just told they had no rice. in the end we never got our Gyoza for the kids meal either. The person running the cash register was nice enough to take it off and tried offering ice cream which we had to decline it was a rainy night and we could not have her eating it. During our time there a lot had happened a lot had happened with the staff. They were yelling and switching employees from kitchen to waiting tables and back again. There was also a waitress that walked out seeming upset and when we left we saw her outside looking at her phone, not sure if she had been there the whole time. Overall it's not the best on customer service so we won't be...

My husband & I have been to this place 3 times. 1st time we rated 8/10. 2nd time 5/10 we dined in they took a very long time to serve your food my husband ordered ramen soup was brought out 1st & 10 minutes later mine was brought out it was upsetting because my husband was eating his ramen cold. Today we go for take out we were told 15 minutes for our food we actually waited 30 minutes we open the containers the amount of rice, chicken & Brussel sprouts they served was ridicules he spent $40 for a small portion! We go back explained to the lady let her know we have been here before we have gotten more than what they served us today, she said she needed to speak to the people in the kitchen to see if the serving dine in is the same as take out, we waited another 15 minutes she comes back says they served us more & they also added Miso soup. We get home my husband opens up the containers & all they did was throw in a spoon of rice, they took out the Brussel sprouts from the foam container & spread it out into a new one to make it look like they added more there was NO DIFFERENCE! I will never be going back to this place & I don’t recommend it to anyone! If I can rate...
