"I recently had a delightful and delicious lunch in Laguna Beach to celebrate a friend's birthday. I highly recommend the Gu Ramen, which can be customized with your choice of spice level, noodles, and toppings. The combination of Tonkotsu broth, pork, chicken, and Chashu was incredibly satisfying. I also loved the addition of spinach for some extra veggies. My friend opted for the same dish with kale noodles and bean sprouts, which she enjoyed. For his birthday, my friend ordered the Ramen Tofu with Shoyu Umami Broth and double Tofu, which he loved. The spicy and regular edamame make for a perfect appetizer that's great for sharing. The service was friendly and attentive, with the staff remembering regular customers. The ambiance of the restaurant is lovely, especially with the open windows near the beach. However, be prepared for crowds during the summer months in Laguna, as parking can be difficult and traffic can be frustrating. It's worth allowing for extra time to fully enjoy your dining experience."
