The service was excellent, the food was delicious, and the portions were substantial! We visited on a Wednesday evening and were seated immediately. They provide complimentary white rice towards the end of the meal, which is a lovely nod to traditional Japanese customs. I appreciate that they honor and maintain this culture here in the USA.

Having lived in Japan as a child, I'm no stranger to Japanese cuisine, but the dish I tried here was unlike anything I'd ever experienced before. I opted for The Original bowl, wanting to keep it light, and I initially thought I might still be hungry and should have chosen the Deluxe option. However, I was completely satisfied! The noodles were so delicious that I found myself happily slurping them down in no time. If you're knowledgeable about Japanese food but haven't tried this particular style of noodles, this should be the first place you visit—it's definitely going to become my new go-to spot.

Delicious restaurant! The food is incredibly tasty! I've never tried this type of noodles before, and I regret not having discovered it sooner. It was fantastic! They even provide a small bowl of rice to help you soak up the remaining sauce, meat, and garnishes left in your bowl.

Quick Summary Great food and IG Yelp worthy photos. Fantastic value and really appreciate having a legit Japanese ramen franchise in the SGV (less need to drive to South Bay Sawtelle, LA). A reminder that you can ask for less salt and oil if you prefer. Food- 5 stars Chashu Nagoya- have to order the classic. This is very good. Try to add a bit of vinegar to cut out the heaviness towards the end of the meal. They offer complimentary white rice at the end of you want to soak up the rest of the sauce! Yes, like all ramen, it's very heavy, so just a reminder you have the option to ask for less salt and oil if you prefer. I personally like to order the non-spicy, but recommend spicy if you want extra flavor and like spicy foods Service- 5 stars The service was solid throughout. Quick, fast casual dining with attentive servers Bottom Line Menya Hanabi is truly a gem in the SGV. Great food and fantastic value. It's quickly become my go-to whenever I'm in the Arcadia area

Unexpected delicious fusion food. These noodles are as if dan dan noodles were a carbonara, seasoned for a milder Japanese taste and then topped like ramen yet served with a thicker udon noodle. Was much more filling than I expected and leftover heated up better than I imagined. The karage, croquettes, and matcha tea were also very good. The karage is crispy and well seasoned, the croquettes are creamy and perfectly coated, the matcha latte is thick and rich. IMO due to the richness of the sauce and egg yolk, the deluxe bowl has a bit too much protein going on (poached egg, soft boiled egg, char sui pork, and taiwanese meat sauce) so I prefer the original (poached egg and meat sauce). Also due to the richness, I think the vinegar is key for cutting through the flavor. It becomes a bit one dimensional if you don’t add the vinegar. Overall excellent experience
