Best Ramen in OC! Delicious. Authentic. good portions and value. They also offer spicy and Tsukemen.I also like all food comes out piping hot, as it should. It comes with seaweed, green onions, bean sprouts and full egg. A lot of other places charge extra for EACH of those. I think it's better than Silver-lake and Hiro Nori.

One of my favorite ramen places!Tonight, we ordered the beef bowl and the spicy tsukemen ramen. Both were fantastic as always.It's located in the plaza downtown, so even if there's a short wait, there are plenty of places to walk around or even grab a quick drink beforehand.

Came here with my husband last weekend because I was craving some spicy ramen. The place is in a nice location, kinda like an old town feels kind of vibes. Upon arrival we're waiting no more than 15mins to be seated . The service was quick and fast got our meals out in a timely manner matter so we enjoyed the whole experiencesThe food was great , the fried gyoza was very flavorful enjoyed every bite . The spicy ramens were really delicious, I got the Spicy Butaton Ramen and my husband got the Spicy Miso ramen . Both were very delicious and we enjoyed every slurp. The spicy got a really nice kick where it wasn't over powering with spice. I'd definitely will come back to enjoy more of what they have to offer .Thank you Butaton for an awesome experience as well as great food

Some of the better Ramen I have tried since I began trying Ramen in the States compared to Ramen in Japan. The environment was great and the waiter did also really good constantly checking up on our table.

Located in Plaza Square in Orange California. The ramen here is pretty good, we came here for a quick lunch and walked by the restaurant while getting coffee. The ramen we got definitely had a lot of flavor.

Cute ramen spot in the corner of old town orange. They have lunch specials which is what we got. It's a rice bowl and salad added to any ramen for 5.50$ extra. The servers are friendly and attentive. The ramen was flavorful.

Every bowl of Ramen here is a study in softness. Pork tastes delicious usually. Now imagine it soaking in hot broth. Think of the changes the hot broth would make to pork's tender meaty appearance. Do the same imagining, but for eggs this time. Ramen renders eggs so soft that they slide down the soft palate like socks on linoleum. I don't really remember the service. I did not pass out from hunger, and there were not any lunch lady hair nets in my Ramen, so I'm assuming I had decent service here.The ambience here is quiet. So hushed one can hear a solitary noodle adrift in a broth bowl seconds before it's slurped into oblivion. I got more in touch with the silence & calm in my subconscious while dining at Butaton. I left serene enough to forget all past disappointments, and fully present enough to direct my higher self towards the perfect future awaiting me.

Food: Ramen was really good! The meat on the ramen was good too. I was so full, couldn't finish it. Takoyaki, fried squid, gyoza were all delicious. Stellar service! All of the workers were incredibly friendly and accommodating.

Trinh and the homies here at Butaton Ramen are incredible. We've passed by it many times in the circle but always have seemed to catch them closed from the 3-5 hours. We finally had a chance to check them out and oh boy were we stoked. The gyozas were amazing, and we highly suggest ordering a side of the sauce that usually comes with the thick ramen noodles, so good, forgot what's it's called but you'll see it at the bottom of the menu, get that on the side.The ambiance here is modern and you can sit privately or in tables in the center. Great views of the circle and we can't wait to get back. Thank you Trinh and team at Butaton!!
