You can choose between light or rich broth for the chuka soba. The rich broth has a strong fish flavor to it. If you are new to ramen, your taste buds may not have acquired a taste for the fish flavor. If this is the case, we would recommend the light broth option.

It’s served with thick and chewy noodles. Topped with healthy portions of pork chashu, green onions, bamboo, and seaweed.

The large noodle serving of the Tsukemen from Mendoki is 250g before cooking. After cooking, it works out to about 450g. The noodles were chewy and medium in length. I recommend squeezing the lemon on the noodles prior to dipping.

The broth was thin and had a hint of bitterness from the fish flavors that are present.

The head chef was trained at the legendary chain Taishoken in Japan. Taishoken is known for their tsukemen. Given this background, you’ll be enjoying some of the best available dipping noodles in California.

At Hiro Nori, the Shoyu Ramen is an experience in its own right. The shoyu-based broth is the pièce de résistance, the base from which all other elements flourish. It emanates a distinctive, heartwarming depth of flavor, expertly balancing traditional Japanese essences with a hint of modern gusto.

The thick, house-made noodles are another star of the dish, harmoniously absorbing the broth’s rich flavors, offering a satisfying, authentic bite. The option to choose between thick or thin noodles adds a layer of personalization to your Hiro Nori Shoyu Ramen experience.

The symphony of toppings—a delectable ensemble of savory pork chashu, vibrant green onions, earthy spinach, sweet bamboo shoots, and crunchy bean sprouts—comes together to create an orchestra of textures and tastes. But let’s not forget the soft-boiled egg, subtly enriching the broth while complementing the other ingredients.

Although located amidst Santa Fe Springs’ pragmatic industrial structures, Hiro Nori Ramen is a delightful culinary diversion. Make no mistake, the Shoyu Ramen here is an under-the-radar treasure, rivalling the fame of Hiro Nori’s signature Tonkotsu Ramen. Its enchanting broth and bespoke noodles reveal an exciting side to Hiro Nori’s ramen repertoire, making it an essential stop on any ramen exploration.
