Menya Hanabi Usa - Arcadia

First, just want to thank the head waiter for being absolutely apologetic and kind trying to accommodate us after a couple blatantly told him they were on the list as me and took our table that we drove over 1 and 30 mins to eat the noodles.The noodles were thick and chewy with nice amount of sauce. Reminds me of being in Tokyo and the food was exceptionally delicious. The staff were all very supportive with a smile.Aside the thief table family who ruined our experience at the start, the food and staff made up for it.

My Los Angeles friends pointed this place out as a unique soupless ramen that they fell in love with in Japan and finally found a place here in the U.S. that they deemed worthy enough for me to try.Mazesoba (or Mazemen), literally translated into English as mixed noodle, is a soupless ramen that has been gaining recognition and popularity in JapanWe all ordered the deluxe Nagoya Mazesoba in which I was educated about mixing in the chili powder, Chili oil (available upon request) and vinegar in small parts in between bites to evolve the flavor as it 's eaten. I loved the different layers of complexity that the bowl offered and the way the soft boiled egg yolk amalgamated with their signature toppings like the spicy seasoned ground pork, bean sprouts, green onion, and chives to create a strong umami flavor that I won 't be forgetting any time soon.Currently this location is so busy they take no reservations and only add waitlist names in person. Recommended you plan your meal here in advance or risk getting turned away.

I ordered the Deluxe Nagoya Mazesoba $17.59). noodles were thick and flavors were quite good. Cha sew was nice and fatty, minced pork added interesting texture, Egg was pretty good. I opted for the mild spice level however definetly should have gone with spicy as there was little heat for my girlfriends order. Added it on after the fact however wasn't the same. Came here on a Sunday Evening and had little to no wait time, service was quitet good.

Excellent noodles that are super hearty. The egg on top was cooked really well with the yolk oozing out. After eating everything, you can also get a free bowl of rice to soak up the remaining sauce.

Been coming here every few months since this place has opened and it still doesn’t disappoint. Love their style of noodles called mazesoba which is served without broth or soup unless you order it as a side. Depending on who you ask, the noodles originated from Nagoya, Japan and uses Taiwanese style minced meat as the main ingredient for its signature bowl. It’s all very delicious and the reason why it might be hard to get a seat on the weekend. Cool thing is they give you a small scoop of rice when you are almost done with your meal so that you can mix it in with whatever sauce you have leftover. It’s filling and, to be honest, a little fun mixing it in. Love this place and will come back for more because there aren’t too many places like this around.
