How we calculate this
We combine ratings from independent platforms and weight each source by how many ratings back its score.
- Google Maps4.4547 ratingsCounted
- Yelp4.11,264 reviewsCounted
= 4.2 / 5 · 2 independent sources, each weighted by how many ratings back it.
Our own Taster score is never mixed in.
Public platform ratings, shown as of when we last checked, kept separate from our own Taster score.
What diners are saying
Distinct notes drawn from the public review sample, attributed summaries, not verbatim quotes or our own review.
The Tustin sibling of Meiji Seimen shares its chewy handmade noodles and rotating monthly special udons
Diners recommend ordering the tempura on the side so it stays crisp rather than softening in the broth
A few note slower made-to-order service and, recently, smaller portions for the price
Based on roughly eight recent Yelp reviews (Jul–Sep 2026); a small, non-systematic sample.
Yelp, Okidoki by MeijiWhy it matters
Useful geographic coverage with a clearly disclosed relationship to Meiji Seimen. Do not count the two as unrelated discoveries or borrow one branch’s diner opinions for the other.
Dishes highlighted in the coverage we read, not a promise of today’s menu, and not our own picks.
Listed on sources checked today; live operation was not phone-verified.
In the press
What critics and reporters have written, attributed summaries, not our own review.
One commenter liked the udon ordered for delivery from Oki Doki but explicitly said they were not an udon expert and had not experienced the dining room. A second endorsed the food. Neither supplies a tempura tasting, so this is general context only.
Two short comments in one 2023 thread. No tempura-specific assessment or current dining-room conclusion.

How ratings work
Diner ratings. We show each platform's public rating as of the date we recorded it, on a 5-point scale, with a link to the current rating. Our tempura rating is our own firsthand tempura score, always kept separate and never blended in.
Diner consensus. We combine independent platforms into one score, weighting each by how many ratings back it. Platforms that share the same reviews are counted once, and the consensus only appears with two or more independent sources.
Independence. How we rate and recommend is never affected by any advertising, partnership or sponsorship. Ratings and reviews remain the property of the platforms they come from.
