Very attentive service
Unfortunately, the food did not match up to the service. We had edamame, which was fine and shishito peppers, which were too oily. Orenchi Ramen lacked flavor. I had the Orenchi dipping ramen. Too fishy, kind of oily. I am sure there are better Ramen shops nearby.

My 9 year old daughter loves the ramen at Orenchi. We have to stop by when we are in NorCal. I’m glad they started taking reservations.
Be the first to ReplyGreat place to try Authentic Japanese food
Authentic Japanese items with a few twists. Good, efficient, cheerful service without the chatter. Loved the Okonomiyaki style Fries. And the Salmon Ikura rice bowl was so good I wish I had a bigger stomach Next time I want to try their homemade Roasted Tea flavor ice cream!
Be the first to ReplyOrenchi Ramen opens for indoor and outdoor dining March 26, 2021
Perhaps the most reviewed restaurant in the South Bay, with 5576 Yelp reviews, since they opened in 2010.
Came here at 11:40am Friday March 26, 2021, 3 days after Santa Clara county entered California's covid 19 orange tier, allowing for 50% of indoor capacity dining. The county entered the red tier in mid February, allowing 25% indoor dining, which is what OR has.
New covid hours with indoor dining are 10:30am-2pm, and 430pm-8pm daily. No new indoor/outdoor dining within 30 minutes of closing time.
Place is virtually empty, with 7 tables outside under a tent, 3 outdoor tables next to the building, and 6 tables inside, only one of which is occupied. Unassuming hole in the wall restaurant, with very basic environment, furniture, and decorations.
Usual social distancing with masks. Go up to the front window, order food and pay, before you are assigned one of 16 tables. Reduces the amount of time sitting at the limited number of tables, waiting for your order and waiting for your nonexistent check.
I order the $13.80 Orenchi Ramen, and wife orders the $13.60 Shoyu Ramen. 15% surcharge added on to dine in orders, add in 9% tax, bringing the total cost of two soups to $34!
We ask for an indoor table and are assigned one of 2 two person tables, 18" wide, as it is too cold at 64 degrees with 11 mph winds outside for my better half.
10 minutes later my dish comes with pork belly, sesame, green onion, bamboo shoots, soft boiled seasoned egg, dried seawood and mushrooms in a Tonkotsu (pork) noodle soup.
Wife's dish comes with soy sauce based soup noodle, pork, bamboo shoots, wakame seaweed, Tokyo negi, fish cake, spinach, nori seaweed.
They skimp on the pork, with a meager two razor thin pieces, partially full of fat to boot. The egg is soft boiled, not hard boiled like I like. Cut off the top of the egg, and the inside is not running, but not hard boiled. It's like a soft orange gel.
The Tonkotsu ramen soup is like a chicken broth, but much fuller in flavor, and not too greasy, nor salty. Not as creamy nor as spicy as I would like. The noodles are thick and chewy just as I like.
Wife's Shoyu ramen is much saltier than the Tonkotsu ramen, with much thinner noodles. Wife prefers the thicker noodles of my dish. No egg, but thicker pieces of pork.
By the time we are done, line out the door, with all indoor tables filled, but only 3 of the 10 outdoor tables filled. They fill the 2 2 seat tables first indoors, and then the remaining 4 larger 4 seat tables, in this case each with 2 people. A case where coming early doesn't get you a better table.
The outdoor tables under the tent are the two seaters, 18" wide, and last to be filled.
Many seated people inside not wearing masks while waiting for their food. No need to wait for the check, as you paid up front, but lots of people socialize by talking long after their meal is finished, still unmasked, two bad habits they still haven't learned after 13 months of pandemic.
Will have to remember to bring my N95 masks next time, as the regular paper masks won't protect you from covid from unmasked indoor neighbors talking.
Comforting knowing that if you get covid, Kaiser Permanente Emergency Room is only a quarter mile away across the expressway!
No 45 minute time limit like at Hiro Nori in Santa Clara. We are out of here at 12:09pm, 29 minutes after being seated, me slurping down all the soup down to the last drop, wife leaving the last of her broth as too salty. We would have made it in Hiro Nori time!
Only my 3rd ramen review out of 1035 Yelp reviews. Yelper Dean C's 1 year old toddler has more experience with eating restaurant ramen noodles than me!
Mixed
Long wait.
hamachi carpaccio was disappointing.
hotate garlic butter scallops was decent.
The Orenchi ramen (tonkotsu) is great.
I would go there just for ramen again, but not the appetizer.
Good ramen with large portion sizes
One of our nephews highly recommended Orenchi Ramen for a family dinner out. This was our visit, we had 6 adults and a 2-year old on a Tuesday evening. Our nephew explained that the restaurant hours vary by day, it's good to check ahead when they open as often the wait times can be up to 2 hours before getting seated.
We arrived around 5:30pm and discovered that they opened at 6:00pm on this night. There is an iPad in the reception area, be sure to add your name to the wait list. The server will call your party to be seated (make sure everyone is present). On another note, we were told that the restaurant will close as soon as they run out of soup which they do after each day due to so many customers.
Our nephew helped us to order. We tried the Orenchi Ramen, Shoyu Ramen, fried garlic, french fries and chicken karaage. I thought that my Orenchi ramen was too salty and the egg a little runny. My nephew reassured me that this is how it should taste as he has traveled to Japan and had ramen overseas. The family members who tried the Shoyu ramen said their ramen was even saltier than the one I tried.
Our nephew did a good job of setting the proper expectations with everyone in our group before we went out to try Orenchi Ramen. We arrived rather early to avoid a very long wait time. Our nephew also mentioned that it would be frowned upon to sit and chat long after we were done with our meal (as is typical in our family when we all go out as a group especially when having Italian or Mexican meals). This is because there are other customers waiting for a table, so we should "eat and go" shortly afterwards. The restaurant got rather crowded very quickly and many people arrived right before they officially opened.
If you come as a "large group" be prepared to have only one check and the server will automatically add an 18% service charge. It's not a "cheap" place to eat but the food was good with rather large portion sizes. Many in our group had the asahi and sake so that added to the final tab which was close to $200.00 Overall, everyone in our group was happy with their meal. My husband and I would definitely return to Orenchi Ramen.
The Best Vegan Ramen in the Bay Area
I love good Ramen, and it is not news this is one of the best places in the south bay to get great Ramen. One can occasionally find a vegetarian miso broth (many of the miso broths contain a meat base broth), with vegetarian contents, but the noodles are often made with eggs. For some great vegetarian ramen I will not worry about the egg noodles. BUT, if you want the tastiest, vegan broth filled with the best mix of eggplant, bell peppers with vegan noodles, go to Orenchi. My sons, who are not vegan absolutely love it as well. This is a fast in and out place--you'll be served and ready to go within 1/2 hour, but you may wait 45 minutes to be seated. Be patient--its worth it.
Be the first to ReplyBest Ramen we’ve had in Northern CA
My favorite Ramen places are Monta Ramen in Vegas, Tajima in San Diego, and now Orenchi in Northern CA. Hokkaido Ramen Santouka is always a reasonable option too, But I feel Orenchi offers a little more options with the onion rings and chicken karaage - both were excellent. Only advice is make a reservation online or you will have a very long wait.

Great place to get fresh ramen and the yummy soup base! The chicken karage, cartilage and squid legs are super good.
Be the first to ReplyPlease eat quick so we can make more $, Good Ramen
We have visited a few times it is always busy but recently service has gone downhill.
This is the first restaurant in my life that I've visited the staff was more excited to turn the table than to serve the food. First off YES the ramen was really good, yes many restaurants serve good food what often separates places are the little extra touches.
We sat at the bar and were greeted quickly. We ordered drinks, 2 appetizers and dinner. This place was slammed busy before we got there and well after we left. As I type this review I'm sure they are still packing in the people and on a wait. What we observed were servers focused on turning tables, simply how fast could they get people in and out. I fell like Orenchi has lost focus of service and moved towards quick over barring servers wanting to see how many that can get in & out. There is a well known burger place "in & out"
In our situation a server started clearing our almost empty drinks and wiping down the area but the funny thing is we had not even gotten our meal yet. I told one of the male staff and he quickly said sorry but no one offered to bring new drinks. The deep fried garlic was amazing till they took it away. Yes sit was a mistake but geeeeez just slow down. Also there is something to be said for a place that has a manager walking around just to check on tables.... You know like someone to see that you need a refill or what to order more.
The food was a sold A- , but possibly they should consider opening a drive thru so that they can just serve to the masses even quicker with even less quality service but they would make more money. The food is not cheap but i'm not complaining on price. Again yes they have so many awards and bla bla bla it is great but they are not the only game in town...... that's my .02
