    I haven't been here for a long time, but I am definitely gonna be back very soon. Their Kanitama fried rice is so good, and Umani Yakisoba was also delicious. We didn't have to wait too long for a table, and the food came out pretty fast after we ordered it. Service is wonderful and the food is amazing, so I will be back soon. The Gyoza is also yummy, and I would recommend this place for your next lunch or dinner.

    First time visiting this place. I got the chashu ramen and gyoza. The bowl size was very large. The broth was flavorful and the ramen was medium firm. The real hero of this dish was the chashu. I got three thick and tasty slices of pork. I liked it. The gyoza came out piping hot. I saw another table order the bbq pork ramen and it looked really good. I have to try that next. The restaurant has it's own parking which is good because it's right on the busy street.

    Love this place. Down home Japanese meals. Love the cold ramen, chahan (fried rice, I get the half order), chashu pork. They have daily lunch specials. Be sure to bring cash. If you forget there is an ATM at CVS next door.

    First time here and it did not disappoint. Small place get here before 7:30pm so you don't have to wait. Tasty ramen with generous portions. The only thing that kept me from a 5⭐ rating is that its CASH ONLY so heads up!

    Got some YASOBA to go, for my 92 year old Mom. I'll let everyone know later, if she liked it or not.

    Umemura is a cozy restaurant to eat in alone, friends, or family. Depending on the time of day, you might find it hard to find a parking spot and have to wait longer. Whenever I crave for Shoyu Ramen (Soy Sauce base), I'd come to this place. Umemura's Shoyu Ramen is good, Gyoza and Fried Rice, too. This place is cash only joint.

    Umani ramen is old school style. Older and younger, everybody like to eat this ramen place.

  • 4/5 John K. 2 years ago on Google
    By far the soy sauce broth was excellent and made it worth coming here. That said, the egg was fully hard boiled and pre made since it was cold. The pork was cooked well done. The noodles were good. So what makes this place above average is the soy sauce broth, the rest of it was average. The Mapo tofu was good. They don't have pork buns here. Service was very friendly. Won't come here again unless I'm in the area, but worth checking out at least once. Convenient parking lot in the back.

    Noodles are obviously store bought and dropped in a boiler. My ramen noodles were still stuck to eachother like a pack of top ramen.

    It was our first return there since 2020 and the food was just as good as I remembered. Very friendly staff with good service and cozy feel to the place. They are open in the mornings and evenings only, we returned in the evening right when they opened. There was no line, they had a good amount of dine in guests but the take out was extremely busy. Good place to stop for good food!

    Our favorite ramen place! They also have great sides, gyoza and fried rice are delicious. Great customer service, they always remember our "usual" and check with us in the rare case we try something different.

  • 5/5 Nichelle E. 5 months ago on Google
    This restaurant is so cozy! I love the laid-back atmosphere and the service was excellent. Our server was very kind and hospitable. Definitely recommend the fried rice and gyoza. Both were fantastic. My husband loved the chashu ramen as well. This will be our go-to spot whenever we're craving ramen. 😋

  • 5/5 Aleksey K. 8 months ago on Google
    Huge portions, not much meat, but broth is thick and flavorful. 21 oz beer + Ramen under $25 dollars. Friendly and not overly attentive staff. Will come again

  • 5/5 Mayumi I. 8 months ago on Google
    Umemura is one of the ramen restaurants I like. This time I had a cold ramen (hiyashi Chuka) which is only for summer time. They have 2 kinds of sauces, ponzu and sesame miso sauce. I chose ponzu sauce. It was so tasty. But I want to try one with sesame miso sauce next time.

  • 4/5 Alex H. 4 years ago on Google
    Excellent. Service was impeccable, ramen was a little bit salty but savory.

  • 4/5 noe c. 7 years ago on Google
    Great ramen spot with home made ramen noodles. The spot is a little cramped and gets full during dinner time but the ramen is worth it! Be sure to take cash this place only accepts cash!

  • 5/5 Melanie O. 5 years ago on Google
    This is my favorite ramen restaurant! I've been coming here for over 12 years now. Love love love their mabo ramen. It's my favorite! It says it's spicy, but to me it's not spicy at all. This place is also known for their umani yakisoba which is also delicious. Their portion size is also pretty big! Definitely recommend trying this place. You won't regret it! Only downsides: The parking lot is small and fills up pretty quickly. They also don't have many tables to sit at, so if you're going during their busy hours, expect to wait a bit.

    (Translated by Google) My favorite shop. It is my favorite because I can recall the nostalgic taste of Japanese Chinese restaurants. I'm going to eat from West LA. I love children too. I like sweet peppers and shredded ramen. I think it's hard in Corona, but one of the stores I don't want to disappear. Please do your best. I support you. I will go again. (Original) 大好きなお店。日本の中華屋さんの懐かしの味思い出せてお気に入りです。わざわざウエストLAから食べに行きます。子供も大好きです。私はピーマンと肉の細切りラーメンが好き。コロナで大変だと思うけど絶対なくなって欲しくない店の一つ。頑張ってください。応援してます。また行きます。

    This place is good. I was able to take my little one here, they had a high chair. The food is good here. I like the miso ramens here a lot, the shoyu ones they have are good but I like miso better. I got the Yakiniku Miso Ramen. It was delicious. Instead of Charsiu it had this other pork that is covered in a sweet sauce. This is one of my favorite ramens to get here. I also get the Charsiu miso ramen. This shop puts a lot of the sides in for the price given. Like hard boiled egg, bamboo shoots, bean sprouts etc. So it is a pretty good deal for the price since other places charge extra for that stuff. The wait staff was really friendly and came to check on us often. They were also sweet to my little guy in the high chair. It's not really a con but this place is Cash Only so don't forget to bring cash or you may have to walk to the CVS next door to get cash.

    Very busy. Getting services takes a while. I think this place should hire another server during the busy hours. Food was so delicious.
