Ramen Restaurants near Cupertino, CA

“My daughter and I really enjoy the ramen.“

“3 people less than $100, large portions“

“Best ramen EVER ❤️ The tonkotsu is my all time favorite hands down!“

“Aburi Shime Saba: (5/5)
The aburi shime saba is the best thing on the menu. It’s lightly poached and the caramelized sugar on top adds the perfect contrast of texture and flavor. I’ve been here a few times to try the appetizers, but the MUST GET item is still this saba.

Uzumakiya Udon: (4/5)
The Uzumakiya Udon is good，the noodles are chewy, not overcooked; and the broth is flavorful. The other toppings leave something to be desired, so if you want to be satisfied, order the Oxtail instead. (Although it’s gotten quite expensive😔）“

“Muy buen sabor 🍥🍥🍥🍥🍥🍥🍥🍥🍥🍥🍥🍥🍥🍜“

“As usual, Ramen Nagi has a long wait. Sometimes there are lulls in the line, which is when I happened to get in. The line is outside, so be prepared for the weather. When you get close to the front, they give you a sheet to fill out on what you want. I got the squid ink with everything the usual except with lower sodium and a 4 on spice. I should have asked for more spice, 4 was not that spicy! I also like the thick noodles, the thin ones are a little too thin. The meat on the top of the squid ink ramen was scrumptious!!

The service, once they get you seated, is super fast. I added the bean sprouts from the table to mine! We also split a chicken kaarage, which was yummy. I had enough to take home a little in a too go box!“

“Food are great and the staffs are nice.“

“The food here is amazing! All the ingredients are super fresh, and you can tell they really care about quality. The spicy and sour soup base is so flavorful and perfectly balanced — tangy, spicy, and comforting. The place is clean and the staff are friendly. Highly recommend!“

“Great ramen and reasonable“

“Warning: Low Sodium Option is ava. But with all the side condiments together still causes the entire ramen bowl To be overly Salty. Ruined the flavor.“

“I was super excited to see them open closer to home and the experience did not disappoint. Tried the vegetable ramen, chicken paitan and tantan men ramen with the karage and chilli lime edamame. Same flavors as the SF branch! Loved it- definitely going back.“

“I’ve been coming to Kowa since it’s opened in 2020. Always wonderful staff, not too loud, great quality ramen at reasonable price. I honestly think it tastes much better than Ramen Nagi, which is way too oily and always super crowded with a long line. As a palo alto resident, I highly recommend this cute ramen place!“

“Lots of ramen places locally and this is one of them.
To be blunt it's ok, it's not bad but it's definitely not something that I'd say is above average too.
Broth is ok, pork is fine, it's basically ok.
Gyoza was nice though.
Pricing wise it's a tad high too but it's not too out of line.“

“Had the vegan creamy ramen and it was delicious! Only complaint was that the vegetables and toppings were cold, as if they had just come out of the fridge. The thickness of the noodles was somewhere in between traditional ramen and udon. Their vegan broth rivals Marufuku’s, I think, but I prefer how Marufuku does their vegan ramen overall because the ingredients, both temperature- and texture-wise, meld together better.
I’ll try the other two vegan/vegetarian ramen options next time I come here.“

“One of the best RAMEN 🍜 I have ever taste and highly recommended.“

“We celebrated the turning of our granddaughters entrance to teenage life together.

Dear Rice Junky Team

I had the pleasure of dining at Rice Junky in Santa Clara today, and I must say, the experience was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment I walked in, Joe, the manager, and Jay, the server, made me feel incredibly welcome. Their attention to detail and genuine care for customers shone through in every interaction.

The food, oh, the food! It was a delightful journey through flavors that are both comforting and exciting. Each dish was prepared with such skill and passion, truly showcasing the best of Korean cuisine. The ambiance of Rice Junky added to the overall enjoyment, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere that complements the culinary experience perfectly.

I cannot recommend Rice Junky enough to anyone looking for an authentic and memorable dining experience in Santa Clara. Thank you, Joe and Jay, for making my day brighter. I look forward to my next visit!

Warm regards,
Brian“

“Good enough size for lunch (at least, for me). Soup is tasty and noodles are served just in a right manner. (I like a bit stiff one).“

“Food was delicious, Vy, my server was AMAZING. Will definitely be back, soon.

I had the black garlic pork Ramen, extra spicy. It burned so GOOD, had to take half to go. Every ingredient was fresh, flavorful, and filled with that homemade love that takes a meal to a special place.

The spice didn't overpower the strong flavors of garlic and soy that made every bite just pop with delight.

Vy really made the experience, though. She was on top of everything, with a warm smile and kind word. Gave me some good recommendations, as well as a tip for what I should try next time after I told her how much I enjoyed what I had ordered. Her quick resting and warm welcome got me into the building, and made me not want to leave.

Make sure you keep her as a server because she is definitely a benefit to a fantastic place. Thank you, guys, for the good time! 😁“

“Came here for dinner on a weekday evening and it was empty. The staff was super friendly and helped me decide what to order. I went with the grilled veggie curry and the veggie curry ramen. The curry itself was tasty, though the broccoli and peppers felt too raw. The ramen was okay but the broth felt diluted and the noodles didn’t soak up much of the flavor. Portions were on the smaller side for the price, so it didn’t feel like the best deal.“

“The Tonkotsu broth and original thick noodles were great and the free garlic/chilli was divine (got 2 servings of the chilli) chashu belly was melt in your mouth delicious but portion wise was a bit lacking.

The main pain point was the wait honestly. I think I waited about an hour due to a nearby convention and being a walk-in customer. Definitely try to get a reservation if you want to try their ramen.

The MAIN thing I liked was how they included a 15% service feeand tell you about it upfront and don't ask for additional gratuity! What a huge surprise considering the other places I've been to.

Side note: place is cashless.“

“Delicious food! Great service!“

“pretty decent ramen inside of mitsuwa. we got the medium and it was actually a lot of food. broth was rich and noodles were good but i wish that there were a few more types of toppings on the ramen because it was quite meat heavy with large slabs of pork“

“Listen up, here's the move if you're coming here for ramen: get the chicken paitan ramen and skip the tonkotsu deluxe. No idea why, but while the broth for the tonkotsu was fine, it didn't transfer to the noodles at all so the total effect was it lacking flavor. My partner had the chicken paitan and I ended up wishing I'd gotten that instead.“

“excellent. I've eaten here several times and have never been disappointed. Perfect katsu and surprisingly perfect veg. they give you a generous portion and I am impressed.“

“The Spicy Basil Chicken is the best.“

“Wow, just had the Chirashi bowl and was expecting average quality fish at best.. only to be pleasantly surprised by some of the freshest and flavorful sashimi I’ve ever had

Will definitely be back! Hope the quality is like this all the time!“

“Good and delicious food 😍“

“Only down side is small parking lot. Do recommend street parking since the lot is very small

Recommend: Sashimi and Nigiri is well prepared. But everything is fairly pricey

The sushi here is very good and well made. Good quality fish“

“Love their foods, so delicious and fancy will bring my family & friends there again!!“

“We loved this place. 4 of us went on a Saturday night around 6 and got a table without a wait. Food was delicious- especially soup dumplings, pork belly with noodles and sesame balls. Service was quick, ordering was from a QR code with a menu full of tempting pictures. We will definitely be a return customer.“

“The sushi here is seriously good - fresh ingredients, creative rolls you won’t find anywhere else. The Fuji Roll? Absolutely delicious. Prices are reasonable, and the staff is friendly, even if the vibe inside feels a bit cramped and could use a deeper clean. It’s a small spot, so I’d recommend takeout or delivery over dining in. For the quality of food though, it’s worth it.“

“great customer service, very polite and attentive. ありがとございます！“

“Yoshi Sushi has several locations in the Bay Area which all of them are so consistent with quality and customer service! I have been to the San Jose one and now I have decided to try the one in Los Altos. Parking was very easy as they have a spacious parking lot in front of the restaurant!

Upon walking in, we were warmly greeted by the host and directed the QR code for ordering. I love the QR code ordering system because it includes all the pictures of the items! There was so many options on the menu and it was hard to choose since everything looked so good! We ended up ordering 3 rolls, 1 dream box, and a smoking salmon sashimi which was perfect for 3 friends to share! My favorite was the giants roll and dream box! The slices of fish in the dream box were huge and it also came with some uni too! After eating the huge buttery slices in the dream box, I will be surely having dreams about sushi in my sleep!

We Ordered:
1x Kamikaze Roll - so yummy, a little spicy
1x Smoking Salmon Sashimi- loved the smoke show, sashimi tasted smoky yummy
1x Giants Roll- as a salmon lover, i enjoyed this so much
1x Dinosaur Roll- reminds me of a dragon roll, but better
1x Dream Box- my most favorite, the slices of fish were huge and so buttery“

“This place has grew on me, and with every time i bought food from here. The very cheap prices, and fun waitress, made me love this place more and more, making me want to buy food from here almost everyday. now, i come with friends many times a week, and would very much recommend this amazing place to anyone looking for a nice, cheap meal.“

“People are so focused on the fancy concept and the extravagant atmosphere, making them miss authenticity, this places is like the neighborhood restaurant from your small villa, love the atmosphere, the food is full of real flavor, nothing extravagant, just simplicity and flavor, and the lady in the front desk provides us a great experience, making us feel comfortable. A must go if you are looking for good food.... and the portions are HUGE!!!“

“Excellent spicy miso broth, not too spicy, but enough to warm you up by the end of the bowl. There are a lot of options including half noodles.“

“Every once in awhile you get surprised with a great place and this was it. Had California roll, kagage chicken, spicy edamame which was awesome, and loved that they had a selection of Japanese beer and sake for our table. The staff was so kind and attentive and made our group feel important. I want to go back tomorrow.“
