Absolutely the best ramen I've had, I had the Kara Miso Ramen and its got a good spice factor. Every server is putting their 200% effort and genuinely care for their customers. Will definitely be coming here more often. Lovely interior design as well.
Update December 14th, 2023: Very lively on a Thursday! Enjoyed their Korusawa sake and sesame chicken! Sake is buy one get the 2nd one half off so come after 8pm for that special! Food as always is delicious and the servers are incredibly kind. My always go to for ramen or just a good night!

The place looks rad with Japanese decor and Japanese pop culture. Ramen at the shop I didn't enjoy as much as the other ramen shops I've been to for starters I only got HALF the egg 2 the egg isn't seasoned and 3 the yolk is not runny like it should. The pork chasu needs to have a sear and well define sear for that matter. The broth is thick, creamy, and fatty if that's how you like it you'll enjoy the bowl. Tempura and sushi were fine.
The ramen choices are 4 which keeps it simple but super effective. The service has never been below exceptional. We even got free beer more than once just because we're good tippers and we're always great customers. All you have to do is show up, smile and enjoy yourself with the best ramen OC has to offer.
The best ramen I have had in this area recently. The broth in the Kara Miso Ramen was so well balanced, perfectly salted, and seasoned. The pork chakshu was the most tender I have ever had.
The Bento box my husband ordered was plenty variety. Miso soup was good and so was the salad. The sushi was soft, fish fresh and sweet.
Quantity,quantity, flavor,service. Full points on everything.
Stopped by with a client who wanted to eat here. The broth for the Ramen is Pork based, so those who can't have pork, be advised. I went with Okinawa Sushi plate and it was good. Also had the squid balls which were very good.
I like how they are open late during this pandemic. The interior of this restaurant is great with nice decor with ambient lighting. Ramen broth and noodles are good but I was a bit disappointed that their chasiu (pork belly cut) was stale and tasted old & chewy. Also, the Takoyaki needs more octopus tentacle bits in each for a better and chewier texture. Kopan in Alhambra and Monterey Park is better in my opinion.
We were there last night to celebrate a family member’s birthday. We ordered Ebisu Sashimi 18 Pcs
Cutlet Ramen, Kuro Mayu Ramen, Kara Miso Ramen, Senorita Roll, OMG Roll, Baked Green Mussel,
Spicy Garlic Edamame, Salmon Roll, and The moon roll, they are super delicious and fresh! The only two orders that I don’t care for are the Crispy Scallop Roll and Popcorn Roll. Customer service was great. Highly recommended!!!
I came here with my family. My son doesn't like sushi, but he loves ramen. Both are pretty high quality here. The ramen tastes like it came from a restaurant that specializes in only ramen. The tempura and karaage were delicious and my sashimi was fresh.
What a delightful restaurant! The ambience and decor was so nice to look at. The food was fantastic also! Can't stop thinking about the black garlic ramen.

This Ramen spot Is amazing. It brings me back to the 80s and the little hidden gems 💎 that are around your neighborhood. It's a great spot for a first date or a place to bring your family and friends. It'll create a little moment to remember. The service is amazing (Eros) special thanks to him he was working Wednesday 03/15th/2023 around 4:40pm that day he really is a great waiter and a good person. You can just tell but honestly they don't make em like him anymore. They really don't thanks Kopan ramen.
Every single time I come here to eat with my friends is always such a relaxing and amazing experience. Employees are so unbelievably kind, and the food is absolutely delicious. Sushi lovers must come here and anyone who is curious to try sushi/ramen for the first time. I highly recommend this place. Celebrated my birthday just yesterday, and I've never been happier since.
This place looks great and the food is well prepared. This place, though no fault of theirs, gets a lot of beggars going table to table asking for money. The servers try to ask them to leave but still some manages to go back in. Besides that, I thought their ramen was good enough as the broth elevates it. I also ordered the garlic string beans but I wasn't anticipating it to be spicy lol. It was a bit on the raw side still so it was harder to chew. The flavor was good though. The servers are nice and they try to accommodate everyone even though they are understaffed.
Always a great experience. Superb,attentive staff. Perfect food. Wide variety for any pallette. I'm a Bento box with pork and chicken. I love the croquettes. Interesting variety of sake and rice wines.

Simple. Satisfying. Sacramental.
Kopan keeps it simple and delicious. Menu is easily customizable and straightforward. Service has always been above par for me and my guests (tonight we had David who was attentive and quick). Parking can sometimes be a challenge if you come during peak hours.
I highly recommend this downtown Fullerton hot spot!
Kopan is my favorite ramen spot and the tonkatsu ramen (I usually get chicken but sometimes pork) is always on point. The sushi is great as well, especially the señorita roll. I love the little plaza this one is located in because it almost feels like a little corner of Japan. The waiters are all very nice too.
Good food, has been a family favorite for years, but... with another new menu, guess what? Prices have increased again. $20 for a bowl of noodles is insanity.
Went for lunch, food as always is good. Service was a lil slow. Normally the service is for the most part awesome. Still a great place to go eat and have drinks with friends and family.
My friend and I have been coming to Kopan Ramen since they first opened up. It's been almost 2 years since I've been back because I lived in another state for that time so today was our first time back. We were very disappointed to find out they changed the tonkatsu ramen broth. We would come here specifically for the broth. We were told that they changed the recipe. We could definitely tell. It was very bland and very watery. Almost tasted like a milk/water combo. We were not fans.
I feel like every time I come here now it's never the same. They changed the noodles twice now and now the broth. Just keep things how they were!
