Amazing service, amazing ramen. Hot and spicy, but not too spicy. Our waitress was amazing. Great atmosphere. You would never expect this kind of an experience in such a small town!

I didn't expect a Ramen Shop in Mariposa. So, I was pleasantly surprised to find it. We had two Ramen - with meat and vegetarian. Both were yummy. And we also had more than one bottle of Yuzu Lemonade. All in all, I liked the flair, I liked the food (I'm Asian) and I liked the service!

Food was amazing. It was exactly what we needed to sustain the next leg of our drive. I would stay here just for this restaurant.

I used to be an advocate for this place even though they were never more than mediocre. Their Rye noodles are not worth it, the brown rice noodles are a bit better. But today was probably the last time we will visit here. The lady that serviced our table was training and not really paying attention to our table. She also argued with me about having a drink Ive had there atleast 6 times, no deserts, closed early, and didnt refill any of our waters or drinks. Basically talked neighborhood drama with the newbie and left us without any more thought. Disappointing c9nsidering we made the drive out just to have their food, but not again.

Me and my family ate here after coming back from Yosemite and it did not disappoint! I have both a gluten and dairy allergy, so it was nice to see that all of the ramen can be made gluten free and vegan options were marked on the menu. The ramen itself was amazing and very filling. Would highly recommend if you're heading through Mariposa!

My boyfriend and I went to Yosemite for our anniversary and ended up staying in Mariposa for the weekend, which turned out to be such a lovely surprise. What started as a quick bathroom break somehow became one of the best meals of the trip at Little Shop of Ramen.
Marrisa made some of the most delicious ramen we didn’t even know we needed, and the great wine and conversation with Travis and M.J made the whole experience even better. Unexpected, cozy, and genuinely memorable. The coconut curry was amazing!!
10/10 would recommend and we absolutely can’t wait to come back the next time we visit Yosemite!

Great food! I love ramen and this place scratched the itch. Unique hand made noodles had a good bite and broth was rich and flavourful. Would recommend!

An unexpected great find near Yosemite. We enjoyed the authentic ramen, marinated egg, and California brewed beer with a Japanese twist. Edamame was so tasty we ordered a second portion.
Later learned that the owners moved from Santa Clara and had missed good Japanese food, and decided to open this place. That explained a lot!
Service was backed up near 8pm, but the owner also explained that it’s an expected rush as people return from Yosemite — we saw the same from the other restaurants too.
Came here on the busy Memorial Day weekend. Very happy we found this ramen shop. Food was very good and authentic. Will definitely visit again after a day spent at Yosemite.
They also have Japanese drinks which is a highlight!

They are not serving Ramen, they are serving spaghetti in relatively tasteless soup. It tastes ok-ish, but it’s not Ramen at all. as others have noted, the service seems inconvenienced by guests. Meh experience overall.

The ramen here is genuinely good — above what you’d expect from a small tourist town. Tasty broth, well put together.
The service, however, was a different story. Slow throughout the meal, and we waited quite a while even for water. If they can tighten up the front-of-house experience, this place could be a real gem. For now, come for the food, but be prepared to be patient.

Brandon made our experience top tier. 10/10 would go again just for Brandon (aka Jeremy). But also the wine was terrific. Vey yummy and he catered to our preferences. Would go again for the wine and for Jeremy/Brandon.
