Reviews


By now you have 21413 review from 5 website(s) available. The average rating for Orenchi is 4.3 which means that guests have a very high opinion of this restaurant. Located in the heart of San Jose, this restaurant offers a firm option for vegan ramen lovers. While the menu has limited vegan choices, the interior may come off as slightly makeshift. The service varies, with some waitstaff being friendly while others lack enthusiasm. Reservations cannot be made online, so be prepared to wait during peak times. The ramen is flavorful, although some dishes like the Curry Tantan may be too salty for some diners. Portion sizes may be smaller than expected, and prices may seem a bit high for what you get. However, the restaurant has garnered praise for its top-notch customer service, fast and fresh dishes bursting with flavor. With limited seating, it's advisable to arrive early and with a small group to avoid long wait times. The extensive sake and beer options, along with standout dishes like karaage fried chicken and takoyaki, make the overall dining experience worth the price tag. Additionally, fans of ramen will appreciate the Michelin recommendation and the restaurant's longevity in the competitive food scene. While some diners may find the soft-boiled egg too soft for their liking, the overall umami-packed broth and well-cooked noodles have diners eager to return for more. Whether indulging in the delectable ramen, sharing dishes like aubergine tempura, or enjoying the various add-in options, this restaurant promises a flavorsome experience that will have diners coming back for more.

You will have to wait... No question Show up at 5:30 before they open at 6, or like me, just get there 45 min. Before you want to eat. Worth the wait.
