Mentatsu 麵達

There are several popular ramen joints throughout the Orange County,
By all means "popular," doesn't necessary stands for mouthwatering food,
It's just more well-known to people,
Thus the restaurants are flocked with diners during peak hours.

To name a few:
Santouka in Mitsuwa,
Shinsengumi on Brookhurst,
Ebisu in Fountain Valley,
And Mentatsu, just down the block from Mitsuwa supermarket.

Inside the Tiny Restaurant-


Cute Water Cup-


Subuta (Japanese sweet and sour pork)-
Mapo Ramen-


If you like your noodles to stay hot from the beginning till the end,
Order Mapo ramen.
The heat is hard to dissipate since the soup is gooey,
Perfect dish for winter time.

Cindy's Rating (Subuta)- 5
Cindy's Rating (Mapo Ramen)- 5

Chashu Ramen-


The chashu at Mentatsu is thin and dry.
Not recommended.

  1. you should clarify if your rating is on a 10 scale. I would rate this place a 4/20 or 5/20. Plain awful.

  6. I didn't like this place much either. Noodles were blah. Rice dishes aren't bad, but it's hard to F up rice!
