Ramen Restaurants near Milpitas, CA

“Tried the new Mala Town in Milpitas. The place is big and clean, which is always a plus. The malatang was solid — I really liked the dry one with peanut sauce. Ingredients were fresh, and the staff were super nice. Overall, a pretty good spot. I’d come back.“

“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! 😁“

“The Spicy Basil Chicken is the best.“

“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 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！“

“Muy buen sabor 🍥🍥🍥🍥🍥🍥🍥🍥🍥🍥🍥🍥🍥🍜“

“Great ramen and reasonable“

“Food are great and the staffs are nice.“

“I always have to doctor my Ramen to taste the way that I want it, but this came exactly the way that I love my Ramen! The broth was delicious, the noodles were perfectly done, and the spice was existent but not overwhelming. As a big back, i approve“

“Ramen Arashi is hands down one of the best dining experiences I’ve had in years. The food, of course, was phenomenal—rich, flavorful broth, perfectly cooked noodles, and toppings that hit every note. But what truly set this place apart was the service.

Our waitress was incredibly friendly and made us feel so welcome from the moment we walked in. She went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed, all with a warm smile that felt so genuine. She even spoke Japanese to me! The chef, too, came out to check on our meal, which was such a thoughtful touch. It’s rare to encounter people this kind and passionate about what they do.

If you’re looking for amazing ramen and an experience that leaves you feeling cared for, Ramen Arashi is the place to go. I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“Great Ramen Miso Noodle Soup $$“

“I like the quality of their ramen. The portion, the thickness of the char siew and the onsen egg, delicious! If i can suggest one thing, it will the hotness of the soup. They have to serve it piping hot and it will be bring heaven to earth. We ate there today and the soup is just warm.. so maybe next time i visit here i hope they will make it more hot. Thanks!“

“The menma was dressed with fried garlic and chili oil and went very well with beer. I ordered the Creamy Ramen (vegi) as a novelty, and it was very delicious with the flavor of the soy milk and dashi stock. The fried kale was flavorful and had no bitterness.“

“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.“

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

“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).“

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“

“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.“

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

“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“

“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!“

“My second time here. The ramens are a work of art. I have something called as a japan hangover and so I get beyond thrilled when I find genuinely good ramen or for that matter japanese food outside of japan in general. I have tried both curry ramen and butter miso ramen with various permutations and combinations and both times I was highly satisfied and glad I could eat here. Also try the sushi place right next to it.“

“Good and delicious food 😍“

“An surprisingly great underrated Ramen spot. A short walk from my parent’s was this tiny no frills Ramen and Tea restaurant. Dude was playing smooth Jazz. Cool artwork on the walls, plus the low key mess from working made it amazing. I felt like was some unassuming Tokyo suburb that simply serves great food.“

“Fire A+ come enjoy good food yummy yummy for tummy“

“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😔）“

“The place is Charming, the food is excellent, and the service is great.“

“This place is amazing! Mike, Rosario and Isabel really made the trip I had worth while and then some! I was there to celebrate my sisters Bday and I madd a mistake with my booking. I call the staff there a few different occasions and they really took time to take care of me and accommodate! If you are looking for a place not far from the stadium, choose this place as your temporary destination! They do it right!

Rooms: The room was really nice and spacious. And the bed felt great! 10 out of 10“

“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.“

“This Japanese tsukemen restaurant is really impressive. Whether it is the food, environment or service, it is full of sincerity. It is highly recommended!

First of all, their tsukemen are so delicious. The noodles are chewy and chewy, cooked just right, neither too soft nor too hard, and can absorb the rich dipping sauce perfectly. The soup has rich flavors, with a strong flavor of fish meat and tonkotsu. It is thick but not overly greasy, and every bite is full of concentrated delicious flavor. The accompanying barbecued pork meat is soft and tender, the fat is evenly distributed, and melts in your mouth, making the whole bowl of tsukemen even more delicious. In addition, the store also provides extra stock, which can be added with dipping sauce to turn into soup after eating the noodles. Such details make people feel the charm of authentic Japanese tsukemen.

The atmosphere inside the store is also quite great, the decoration is simple and full of Japanese style, and the lighting is warm and soft, creating a comfortable dining environment. The seats are well spaced so you won't feel crowded, and the background music is soft Japanese melodies, allowing you to relax and enjoy your food.

The most commendable thing is the attentive service of the clerk. From entering to ordering and serving, every detail is attentive. The clerk is kind and polite, and will also explain how to eat the meal, making people feel enthusiastic and professional. Overall, this restaurant not only has delicious tsukemen, but the overall dining experience is also very enjoyable. It is definitely worth a try and will make you want to come back again and again!“

“Hidden ramen gem in South Bay! Better than the ramen places on Castro street in Mountain View. My friend and I both ordered the Miso Ramen (~$18.50 each before tax) which were large portions that came with very tasty and tender large slices of pork. The broth and noodles were also flavorful without being too salty.
Service was fast.
Good amount of indoor seating, casual ambience.“

“Our 1st time there and didn’t know what to order but everything was delicious, definitely will be back.“
