Kashiwa Ramen has earned its place as a beloved ramen shop in Costa Mesa through dedication to consistency, quality, and community engagement. With accolades from local authorities like the OC Register and OC Weekly, our reputation stretches well beyond our address on Baker Street. We pride ourselves on delivering a satisfying ramen experience that combines traditional Japanese flavors with Californians’ vibrant and diverse tastes.
Open daily from 11:30 AM to 9:30 PM, we serve lunch and dinner to locals and visitors seeking quick bites or leisurely meals. Our ticket-style ordering system invites customers to customize their bowls, allowing each dish to reflect individual tastes—from broths to protein choices and noodle textures. This approach also suits solo diners who want personalized meals without fuss.
As a neighborhood hub, we attract an eclectic crowd—families, tourists, and university students come together under one roof. The busiest evenings on Fridays can fill to 100% capacity by 7 PM, so we recommend reservations or visits during quieter times like weekday midday or late evenings. Community members often swap tips about the menu—our spicy black mushroom ramen and karaage earn frequent praise.
Beyond the food, Kashiwa Ramen nurtures an inclusive, welcoming environment where diverse groups feel at home. Whether you're here for a quick comforting meal or a relaxed dinner with friends, our team is ready to provide attentive service without delay. Come experience why Kashiwa Ramen stands out as a gem in the California ramen scene, blending craft, flavor, and a sincere love for great food.
