Menya Hanabi Irvine - The Original Nagoya Mazesoba

Teresa Tamashiro 3 months ago

I LOVE this place, this is the best mazesoba place I have found in Orange County! I usually get the deluxe mazesoba and it is very flavorful, the meat is good quality, and the noodles are thick and soft. The hanabi fries are very tasty and flavorful. I would recommend this place to all my friends

I tried the curry mazesoba and it truly exceeded my expectations. The flavors were rich and perfectly balanced. Before mixing everything together as recommended, I sampled each component on its own and loved how every ingredient brought something unique to the dish. Once combined, it created an even more delicious and satisfying experience. I would definitely order it again.

I went here by myself for lunch the other day and then immediately came back the next day with my husband. The balance of flavors in their deluxe nagoya mazesoba bowl ($19) is absolutely incredible - it contains a poached egg, ajitama, chashu, seaweed, minced pork, green onions, fish powder, and garlic over their thick noodles. the flavors are so balanced and everything mixed together creates the perfect bite - adding vinegar after savoring the richness for a while cuts the fatty goodness and makes not finishing the rest of your bowl impossible. we also tried their potato croquettes and takoyaki, both delicious and light and crispy, and freshly made to order. The matcha was also very good and a lovely deep green, not too milky or too sweet, but didn’t taste like a mouthful of grass either. absolutely delighted to have one in the neighborhood.

Delicious!! I loved the cream one way better than the original! Wish it was a staple item. The matcha latte was REALLY good! Not too sweet and had a really great, strong matcha flavour and was mixed really well. They were playing Linkin Park music and older rock music from early 2000s which I LOVED. It was super nostalgic, haha. I want to come back to try their appetizers! BTW, it’s card only.

I am so ecstatic that Menya Hanabi is now in the OC area! The first location is in Arcadia and I’ve ate there many times (in-store and to-go) since I live in the 626 area. I recently have been working in OC and can now enjoy my favorite mazesoba for lunch and dinner! The food itself is so delicious! It has flavor, umami, and depth all in one bowl. You can tell that each bowl is made with love and uses fresh and real ingredients. I love the variety of entree choices there are as well and each time I try to get something different to try everything. I recommend adding their poached egg so it makes everything creamy and yummy! Their spicy is also quite spicy for me since it’s all in the meat which is their sauce overall, but it’s so good for a once in a while meal. Another fave is their curry!! At the end of the meal, when dining in, they’ll offer a small scoop of rice to add to your bowl since most of the time, there will be leftover sauce. It mixes soooo well and the small scoop is more than enough for me since I’d be so full already. Can’t let the sauce go to waste though take it to-go if you need to! :p We got the original and chashu! Can never go wrong with the classic. Also, I
