Located in Villa La Costa shopping center between Shell Gas Station and Super A's, Mogu Mogu is a nice add to Costa Mesa's awesome variety of mom and pop restaurants. I've never heard the concept of soupless ramen until my vegetarian friend and I was looking for food we can both enjoy. That time it was late and we found the line intimidating, so we ordered to go.
