First time here. Last time here.
We were seated fairly quickly and our order was taken in a reasonable amount of time.
We never got our food. Our order was never put in.
I never post reviews. If a business is good, they don’t need reviews. People know. This was unacceptable.
Went to Kitakata Ramen instead. Their ramen was very good!

The ramen was delicious, as always. HiroNori continues to deliver when it comes to flavor, quality, and consistency of the food. The broth was rich and satisfying, and the overall meal absolutely lived up to expectations.
That said, a couple of things stood out on this visit.
The service was a bit inattentive. We waited quite a while to flag down a server just to get sugar, and one of our ramen bowls arrived without a spoon. I eventually had to get up from the table and find one myself. It wasn’t rude service, just noticeably absent at times.
The bigger issue was the bathroom. It really needs a deep cleaning or some remodeling. The walls were visibly stained, which made the space feel neglected and unpleasant, especially for an otherwise well-regarded restaurant.
Food-wise, HiroNori is still excellent. If the service were more attentive and the bathrooms better maintained, this location would easily match the overall quality of the brand.

I finally made it to HiroNori after hearing about them quite a few times, and it’s a solid spot for ramen. I tried a bunch of stuff — Tonkotsu Ramen, Vegan Ramen, Spicy Cold Dipping Noodle, Crispy Chicken, and Pork Buns. The Spicy Cold Dipping Noodle really stood out, and the Crispy Chicken was surprisingly good too. The tonkotsu and vegan bowls were solid — broth had good depth, noodles were on point, nothing over the top but definitely well done. The pork buns were fine, rounded out the meal, nothing fancy. Prices are fair for the quality, and the vibe is casual. Space is a bit tight, so it can get busy, but nothing crazy. Overall, it’s a dependable ramen spot and definitely worth swinging by if you’re in the area.

Vegan ramen with vegan gyoza as an appetizer. Your welcome. But seriously this place is amazingly delicious. Manager is great, the level of service from this man is above and beyond, the server forgot a side of rice(for my daughter) and something else small like a side of broth I can’t remember now, but the order was for takeout and I didn’t check the food before I left because they’re always on point. When I got home I checked and then I called to have the items credited to me for next time but, the manager refunded the money to my credit card and he insisted the food be delivered to me. I gave him my address and he personally delivered to my house in Orange from Tustin. Hiro Nori is and will always be my go to spot.

My husband and I visited this restaurant. When we arrived, the host was polite and seated us quickly. My husband ordered the Tonkotsu ramen and I had the Shoyu ramen. The noodles in my dish were good, but the broth was too greasy and not very flavorful. My husband’s dish, however, was good. The waitress was attentive. Unfortunately, the restroom was not clean—the sink was dirty and paper towels were scattered on the floor. Also, if you choose not to tip the server, there is a mandatory 17% tip that goes to the restaurant.

The ramen is one of the best I have ever had.
Even though it looks really simple, but the taste is really amazing, please have the spicy sauce with it too!

After browsing Tustin and seal Beach during a warm evening, I didn’t necessarily want hot soup. However, I saw that HiroNori had a cold dipping ramen. And man I’m glad I got to have their take on a refreshing summer tsukemen. The dipping borth was savory, tangy and had a little spice to keep things interesting. The chasu and noodles were cooked perfectly. Service was friendly and attentive. Atmosphere was chill and refreshing. For a franchise ramen spot this is pretty good and would come back.

By far one of the better Ramen Places I’ve had the pleasure of dining at. The atmosphere was clean, welcoming, and aesthetically charming. Our server was quick with service and the food was top tier. The Karage was crispy and juicy and the tonkatsu ramen was creamy and incredibly filling! Overall would recommend this place

I’ve been a few times with work colleagues. The food is always delicious. The lunchtime atmosphere was great – they had 2000s music playing, so it was a vibe. The service could be better… the employees could smile, check on their guests more, etc.
