Really great vegan ramen with so much flavor! My bf has hard time finding a ramen that he enjoys because he goes to Japan often, and nothing compares to it. But he was impressed with this ramen. Recommend! Great service too by the young lady at the front.

Haruya Ramen is a hidden gem for Japanese food lovers! This cozy spot on Fremont Ave won me over with crispy, juicy Chicken Karaage, flavorful veggie gyoza, and rich, soul-warming miso ramen. I sipped on a nostalgic bubblegum-flavored Ramune and smiled when they brought mini lollipops with the check—because adulting is hard and candy helps.

This place is absolutely amazing. They have amazing Ramen. The broth is very rich and flavorful. They marinate the meat which I got pork and a certain sauce that makes the meat very delicious. The spicy sauces really good and flavorful as well. It’s a bit spicy though so be careful. The service was amazing. They cooked the broth for multiple hours and the ambience of the places really nice as well. I highly recommend this place of your in the area.

I tried out this new ramen place for the first time and loved it ! I’ve had the tonkotsu ramen, it was absolutely delicious. The broth was rich, creamy, and full of deep umami flavor definitely worth the 14–16 hours of simmering! The noodles had a nice chewy texture, and the chashu was incredibly tender, melting in my mouth. <3 <3 I also ordered the chicken karaage as a side, and it was perfectly crispy on the outside while staying juicy and flavorful inside. It paired really well with the ramen. The staff is very friendly, and the atmosphere was warm and welcoming. Highly recommend coming this place for tonkotsu ramen lovers!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Haruya Ramen – Flavorful Bowls & Friendly Service! Haruya Ramen in Alhambra is officially one of my new favorite ramen spots! The broth is rich and full of flavor without being overly thick, which I loved—especially in the tonkotsu ramen. Their house spicy sauce is a must if you like a kick—it’s made in-house and adds the perfect heat without overpowering the dish. I also tried the miso ramen + $3 beer combo, which is such a great deal, and the portions are generous across the board. The chicken karaage was crispy and juicy, and the spicy pork bowl (제육덮밥) was super comforting and authentic (I’m Korean, and I can confirm it’s legit!). The restaurant is super clean, and the staff—especially our server Jason—were kind and knowledgeable with great recommendations. If you’re in the SGV area and craving quality ramen with great service and flavor, Haruya Ramen is absolutely worth the visit!

Simple and straightforward menu. It doesn’t make you feel overwhelmed looking at the menu. Staff are super friendly and attentive! Indoor seating only. Very clean! Portion is very affordable, I ordered one bowl and ordered extra noodles and an empty bowl. It was perfect for my two kiddos to share! I really wanted to try the calamari but it was sold out. So definitely gotta come back next time to try it. They have good mix of long tables for bigger parties and small tables for 2-4ppl. They can adjust the level of saltiness of the ramen which is awesome! Never been to a ramen spot that has offered that before. Ordered 3 bowl of tonkatsu ramen, karrage chicken, beef gyoza, and a Sapporo. It was all perfect for our ramen loving family! Definitely recommend you checking them out!

This newly opened ramen spot in the SGV is a cozy gem. Their signature Tonkotsu Ramen boasts a rich, creamy broth simmered for 14–16 hours, packed with deep umami flavor. The new Miso Ramen is just as impressive—bold, savory, and full of character. I was also pleasantly surprised by the appetizers—both the Chicken Karaage and Pork Oun were incredibly tasty. Don’t forget to try their house-made lemonade—it really ties the whole meal together.
