Your first impression of Momotaro will hook you for life. Everything they make is delicious!!
Mateo and Brittany are a power couple who have a passion for all things that are food. They have helped open some of the really well renowned restaurants in the area and have also owned their own restaurants concepts in the area prior to Momotaro.
Thanks for the wonderful food!!

This is the best ramen!! Everyone is so friendly and it is so so soooo delicious!! It has become a staple for me now! Even to go is perfect to have at home! They have more options than just ramen even!! If you haven’t tried this place, you’re missing out!!! Hands down one of my top favorite in Paso Robles!!!

Momotaro is excellent ramen. You absolutely have to add the marinated mushrooms (one of the best individual food items I’ve ever eaten) The owners are friendly and knowledgeable and the staff is very helpful and polite. A great experience!

I was driving through Paso Robles and I’m always on the lookout for a good ramen place. I ordered the Momotaro Ramen and Kara age chicken. I have to agree with the all negative reviews about the tonkotsu ramen. I’ve been to several ramen places and my favorites (just to give you a comparison) are Daikaya in DC, Orenchi and Ramen Nagi in Santa Clara, and Ramen Tatsunoya in Pasadena. All others have fallen below these places. I only get tonkotsu ramen and recently started ordering Kara age chicken. Sorry, Momotaro! The tonkotsu ramen was the worst. So bad in fact I couldn’t finish 1/3 of the ramen because it started to leave a bad taste in my mouth. The broth is as people have said. Bland, lacking any flavor and body. I liked the thin-ness of the noodles but they were firm and lacked any flavor since the broth was bland. On first look, the presentation of the ramen is nice, but the broth barely covered the abundant noodles and gave the noodles a “nobiru” look and feel. The seasoned bean sprouts did not go well with the ramen. The chashu, another important part of a tonkotsu ramen was charred on the outside (probably with a torch) was dry and tasteless and the char gave it a burnt flavor that when paired with the bland broth made for a terrible combination. The egg was descent, firm but I like it more runny. Not much flavor on the egg too. This tonkotsu ramen is waaay overpriced ($20) for the quality. Hate to say it, but this was the worst tonkotsu ramen I have had so far. On the plus side, the service was great, and I loved the location and atmosphere as well as the bar seating. The one saving grace was the Kara-age chicken! It’s so far the best Kara-age chicken that I have had! I give the chicken 5 stars. The ramen zero if I could, so overall the food I gave 2 stars, since it’s called “Momotaro Ramen” and the ramen should stand out. The chicken came out hot and crunchy (maybe a tad more salt) and the cabbage was thinly sliced and smooth. It looks like they have fans that enjoy their ramen, so that’s good to see. I for one am not a fan.

I want to share that my recent dining experience was disappointing. In the past, I enjoyed the rich beef flavor of the Momotaro Ramen broth. However, during my most recent visit, the broth lacked depth and tasted watery. As a self-proclaimed ramen enthusiast, I have high standards for this dish, so I acknowledge that my critique may be subjective. Nevertheless, a well-prepared ramen broth should consistently deliver a robust and flavorful experience. I wish the owner would come out and explain his story. I have asked many times about him, but it seems he is too busy to mingle, and the waiters really don't know the story as well. Usually, a ramen shop that claims high standards should have a story behind it and provide a consistent experience.
Maybe just add more salt.

The food was great and staff was very attentive, we will definitely be back. The Momotaro ramen was very rich and filling but so good, overall everything was very well balanced and tasty ?
I absolutely love coming here for the ramen. Owners greet you by name and the ramen is absolutely delicious. We go every week it’s the meal my daughter and I look forward to week! I recommend 100%

I had been looking forward to having ramen, and my husband and I were disappointed to say the least. Options were limited, but the ramen itself was mediocre at best. One of the dishes tasted like unwashed mushrooms in the broth. The other one was very oily and salty. It was overpriced and not something I’d ever personally go out of my way to eat/purchase again. Considering overall the price for one portions it was not worth it.

Amazing ramen. I love being able to order online and pick it up straight from the counter. The building has a bunch of neat resturants/eaterys/atmosphere but the shining star is Momotaro and their amazing staff.You could argue its expensive. But the ramen is authentic and delicious and the service is always 10/10 both picking up and dining at the counter. Its perfect how it is.

The broth for the ramen needs some work and the noodles aren't made in house.
Probably the worst Ramen I have ever eaten......
