Ramen Okawari

This was my second time visiting. Close to our apartment so it was an easy walk. There were plenty of open tables when we arrived. We were served quickly and the food was amazing.

We ordered the Miso Ramen & Vegetarian Ramen and it was absolutely worth the price about $15 per person. Went mid-day Saturday and we were seated immediately. Food came at the same time in only a couple minutes. The walls are covered in cute anime art too.

Overall I loved this place as a first timer. The taste is unbelievable. The broth is perfect for a sore throat. The warmth soothed my throat and my tummy. My daughter loved the rice and the noodles. This has a very relaxed feeling.

Top notch ramen! Authentic flavor, very good quality! Customer service was one of the best we’ve had! Clean, fun environment to bring our family from Az to. Would very highly recommend!

This ramen spot is so cute! My kids absolutely loved it! We not only love the food but the graphics on the wall are so fun! Ramen is delicious always hits the spot! We always order extra fish cake with our ramen. We have been coming here for a while and love the update they have put in! If you’re in town check them out!

My first time eating real ramen and it was amazing! 10/10 !

Do you get extra noodles when you grab some ramen?? You don't need to here!! Search no more. This is the place that will fill you up. If your a Naruto fan, you will love the wall art. !!!

Ramen: They give a great amount of noodles, and the broth is just filled with flavor 😋 👌 You get the choice on spice level as well, which is a plus ➕ Request chili oil on the side if you want to spice it up some more to your taste but I didn't need to.

Egg Rolls : tasted fresh and with a great crispy crunch with every bite. You get a choice of veggie or pork. I went with pork. Definitely tasted the pork flavor in it. My favorite part was the house sauce dip that came with them.

Gyoza: Amazing . It's hard for me to like these at times because sometimes they feel soggy. But not these it's the perfect texture. They are placed atop of red cabbage and packed with flavor.

Chicken Karaage: Just as described in the menue, juicy marinated chicken. Crispy to the bite with the topped green onions. The spicy mayo sauce is delish.

Chashu Don Bowl: the amount you are given is worth it. It was alot. We went with chicken vs pork. The bowl will easily feed two.

Thai tea. : it was so rich in flavor. The best all it needed was some Boba .

For all this, our total cost was no more than $90 for the both of us.

I love ramen and this place is definitely my top favorite place to get ramen. The noodles are amazing, broth is amazing, pork is so tender and juicy. I can always count on this place to satisfy my ramen craving.

This is the best Ramen place in Riverside! Ramen Okawari is my favorite go to spot in the IE! They are also in the process of putting up new art murals! Love the interior art work on the walls (anime themed) :)

When I came in the other day I noticed a sign on their window that said they are short staffed and to please be patient with staff. I noticed they were really short staff but still working hard and making an effort to be attentive to their customers. It’s understandable, since COVID many places are now very short staffed. I appreciate all the staff that were so kind during my visit.

I order the shoyu ramen and the shrimp tempura! The shoyu ramen is a soy sauce flavored ramen made with tonkotsu broth, the shrimp tempura had a nice crisp and texture to it! I finished off my meal with an order of Mochi ice cream! You can order 3 flavors. (I ordered strawberry, mango, and red bean).

So delicious! I will be coming back!

I love coming here, it’s my favorite Ramen spot in Riverside! The service is always great and so is the food. I always get the Tonkotsu Ramen, and my family and I also love the Okawari fried rice.

Really enjoyed this ramen place. I appreciate that they have added new items on the menu that cater to vegetarians! (They added the veggie egg rolls and veggie gyoza) We ordered the vegetarian ramen and added tofu to our order, vegetable gyoza and the veggie egg rolls! The interior decor was so nice. They added new anime art work to the walls. Had an enjoyable time, we will be going back again.

Tip: bring in your parking ticket. The restaurant offers 2 hours parking validation when you eat there.

The okawari fire ramen is always spot on and delicious! Staff is always friendly, love coming here!

Our weekend adventures to this ramen shop! I love taking our kids here. They like to point out the nice anime art work and take pictures with it. We like to eat the Okawari Fire, gyoza, edamame and miso ramen for kids. I like how they have cute bowls for kids to use. Definitely recommend this spot!

The staff at Ramen Okawari are friendly and help make a warm bowl of ramen an even more enjoyable experience. They got my order in and food out quickly. The Spicy Miso is delicious and has a nice kick. Pair it with the gyoza and cream cheese wontons and you’ve got a nice balance. Thanks, Ramen Okawari, for a great meal. Would recommend and will certainly be coming back.

This place is great! The best part about it is actually the teas. Idk where they get their tea's, but they are legitimately some of the best tea's I've had of the flavors they offer. It's impressive considering it's not their specialty. But of course the ramen is pretty good as well, probably in my top 5 of what I've tried around California.

Shoutout to the server, Beth and Roger

By far the best Ramen outside of LA. The IE has such poor choices, but not this place. It was reasonably priced. U can't tell cuz I finished my whole bowl, lol, get the chili oil foe sure, it was the missing touch on my ramen.

Highly recommend!!! I ordered the Tonkotsu ramen, it was so flavorful and the creamy broth was a perfect compliment to the tender pork! Bethani was very helpful and the staff was friendly and attentive!

Very good Ramen, and the Thai Tea was the best around. We both had the house Ramen with "fire". Perfect amount of spice. Will definitely go back.

Really good Ramen place! My only complaint is it’s a bit on the pricey side ($15+ for a bowl of Ramen!)

Best Ramen restaurant in Riverside. I love that they have a vegetarian ramen bowl option. And you can add tofu as your protein as well! :) They have new vegetarian side options on the menu. I ordered the vegetarian egg rolls and the vegetarian gyoza! All three dishes were fantastic!

They recently had new artwork put up on the walls with different anime characters.

Tip: They validate parking for up to two hours so don't forget to give them your parking ticket when you are there.
