Ramen Tatsunoya
Japanese Restaurant in Costa Mesa
Ramen Tatsunoya is a Japanese noodle restaurant on 17th Street in Costa Mesa, notable for hosting an Indigo Cow soft serve counter inside. In addition to serving signature ramen, the shop features a dedicated walk-up counter on the right side where patrons can order dessert without having to sit down for a meal. It is widely highlighted as an ideal dual-concept spot for dining or a quick post-meal sweet treat.
Commenters are overwhelmingly excited about the Costa Mesa location, celebrating that they no longer have to commute to Los Angeles for quality ramen and Hokkaido milk soft serve. Many praise the ice cream as the perfect complement to a savory bowl of noodles, though questions frequently arise regarding vegan options. A few skeptical voices note that the soft serve is somewhat overhyped or pricey compared to versions found in Japan.
