Place a little small and not good for big groups.Tables setup either for 2 or 4 peopleQR code scan for menuSome new appetizers and drinks menu tape on top of the tableGeso Nanban (Fried squid legs with tartar sauce) $8.49 - this is good. Maybe I like fried and crunchyChicken Nanban (Fried chicken dipped in our homemade sweet & sour sauce topped off with tartar sauce) $8.49 -- I like better without the sauce or prefer the sauce on side instead on the top. I don't like when breading gets soft.Hanabi Tofu (Fried tofu topped off with our special ground pork and green onions) $6.49 -- Tofu is so good when hot and breading still crunchy. What I dislike it there is a lot of oil on plate after short while.Deluxe Nagoya Mazesoba (Ingredients from the original plus chashu (grilled marinated pork belly slices), ajitama (Japanese seasoned soft-boiled egg), and nori (seaweed sheets). Choice between poached egg or no egg. ) $16.49 -- Sauce is thick and make me full fast which is 1st time.Hot Matcha Green tea - no sweet and daisy free $4.49. I couldn't drink it because smelly fishy. Its same smell I had when I in Japan.Homemade ice matcha latte w/ milk and sugar $4.99. This one taste so much better and doesnt have fishy smell.Services was great except they got our drink incorrect.

Quick SummaryGreat food and IG/Yelp worthy photos. Fantastic value and really appreciate having a legit Japanese ramen franchise in the SGV (less need to drive to South Bay / Sawtelle, LA). A reminder that you can ask for less salt and oil if you prefer.Food- 5 starsChashu Nagoya- have to order the classic. This is very good. Try to add a bit of vinegar to cut out the heaviness towards the end of the meal. They offer complimentary white rice at the end of you want to soak up the rest of the sauce! Yes, like all ramen, it's very heavy, so just a reminder you have the option to ask for less salt and oil if you prefer. I personally like to order the non-spicy, but recommend spicy if you want extra flavor and like spicy foodsService- 5 starsThe service was solid throughout. Quick, fast casual dining with attentive serversBottom LineMenya Hanabi is truly a gem in the SGV. Great food and fantastic value. It's quickly become my go-to whenever I'm in the Arcadia area
