On a rainy day during my visit to Orange County, the buzz surrounding Le Shrimp Ramen in West Coast Plaza drew me in, promising a perfect remedy for the weather—a steaming bowl of ramen. Opting for their signature trio shrimp ramen, I was not disappointed. The soup delivered an extraordinary blend of saturated shrimp flavor, brimming with the freshness of various seafood elements and a delightful creaminess. Each bite of the crunchy shrimp balls and the remarkably fresh shrimp felt like a direct connection to the ocean; the quality was truly outstanding, as if the seafood had just been plucked moments before reaching my table.The highlight of this culinary experience was the ramen itself—che...
I was so excited to finally dine here but I have to say that I was quite disappointed. The restaurant was clean, the staff was great, but the food was mediocre at best and overhyped. I love the juices and flavor that can come from a shrimp head. That's why I wanted to dine here in the first place. The broth needed more salt, some heat and fat to give it more flavor. After I was given some chili oil, the food was more enjoyable. The kids weren't loving this place like they do the sister company, Paradise Dynasty. In fact, they wouldn't eat the food. Such a bummer. I had bookmarked Le Shrimp Noodle Bar earlier this year and was dying to finally eat their food. What we ordered:E1 Tofu crispy on...
Le Shrimp Noodle Bar is a small shop serving up Singaporean-style shrimp noodle soup located in the Collage Food Hall on the Bloomingdale's wing of South Coast Plaza.The line can get a bit long due to having a limited amount of seats in the restaurant. Their process is quite efficient. They provide you with a tracking QR code to scan so you can order your food while still in line, receiving your food quicker when you eventually sit down.I ordered the A1 Signature Trio which came with shrimp, shrimp wontons, and shrimp balls. I appreciate that they had an option to have the shrimp peeled but still keeping the shrimp heads on. The flavor was pretty good, heavy shrimp flavor although a bit salt...
The quality of the food was disappointing. My dish arrived cold, and the pale noodles were all clumped together. The crispy chicken seemed to be cooked in old oil. There was nothing appealing about the meal, and when I asked if they could at least toss the chicken and noodles in some sauce, they declined. I certainly wouldn't want to return. The ordering system was also quite confusing, and we received no explanation, leaving us to figure it out on our own.

Tucked away in the basement level of South Coast Plaza, this ramen shop often requires a wait to get in. The menu features a variety of noodle dishes to choose from. The signature noodles are exceptional, the shrimp is both fresh and tasty, and the broth is rich and fragrant.
I ordered vegetable noodles for dinner, and the soup was rich and sweet.My husband ordered shrimp noodles, which also had a rich shrimp-flavored soup. Overall, it was delicious.You need to queue up to order food during holidays!
Less than mediocre ramen. Soup has no depth, no umami at all. Noodles itself is very bland with no texture at all.
I really enjoyed the Signature Trio Shrimp Ramen! It was delicious, and the broth was flavorful and hearty.
