Kopan Ramen

Friendly staff. Food was all delicious. I love the seating idea, it gave a little privacy to the customers. They do have a plastic barrier between tables. The only thing was there Cha shu, it was really thick and grilled similar taste to the way kalbi is marinated and cooked, it was not cooked the traditional way. It had strong delicious flavor but it overwhelmed the broth, made the broth taste very bland.

Place was near empty at 7:45 on Wednesday, still took the waiter 10 mins to get to us. Got the Super Philly and not sure how but it was bland. Cheap cream cheese perhaps? Salmon in it was also tasteless. Then the yellow tail roll was extremely fishy tasting & smelling but in a bad way. The spiced edemame was pretty decent but left most of it behind because was unimpressed with the sushi. Drove almost an hour to this place from O.C. since I've never been to that area and saw the reviews and that they had a few restaurants. I guess Californians are like Floridians when it comes to sushi and think mediocre is good. Maybe I should have tried the ramen, I guess that's what they're actually known for? Anyway, definitely not going back.

We went there on a Thursday night, it was not that busy so we were seated pretty quickly. The service was good, i was a first timer so any questions i had she replied them clearly. We ordered the Gyoza veggie dumplings for starter and there were well cooked and yummy. We also ordered the Kopan Red Ramen which was spicy and a customized regular bowl pork broth with chicken breast and veggies. You can choose which size you want to eat in, regular or large. If you’re hungry large would be fine. Overall experience ok, I would be back. Gave a star less cause the soup itself was kinda tasteless, i had to ask for salt to add taste.

Excellent ramen! The staff is friendly and can give you great recommendations if it's your first time. They have a happy hour later in the evening where you get a second beer for 25 cents! The ramen was full of flavor, great kick with their spice, and please eat it with the fatty pork. You won't be disappointed!

Awesome Ramen. Great, clean place. Friendly and professional service. Food was fresh and delicious!! Seating area is nice, beautiful natural and artificial lights! By the windows you can get beautiful view of brand Blvd. or if you like more privacy you seat at the booths. No weird smells at the place fresh air conditioned air. You can get 90 minuets free parking at the back large parking structure on Maryland street between Wilson and Broadway.
