Hi @PorkyBelly,
Oh you haven’t been to Kitakata yet? Definitely try it and order their original Kitakata Ramen, with “Hard Noodles” (they tend to slightly overcook the Noodles by default).
Definitely their original location in Costa Mesa. Try to get there right when they open or before 12 Noon (it’s crowded).
I hope you like it.
