Ramen Restaurants near San Bruno, CA

“Located near Luckys and Lowes, this is a neighborhood hole in the wall. It’s not an Ichi Ramen (shown in the front of the restaurant) as they just never spent the money to replace the sign. Being said this place gets packed fast especially on weekends. It’s a great spot for rice porridge and other Cantonese comfort food. Guess don’t judge the book by its cover 😉Tried the pork rice congee (hope I spelled that right) and the beef stew clay pot with both the regular and sweet Chinese doughnut. Enjoyed the tender pork and thick porridge. Beef stew was also very tender and savory 😋 I say check it out.“

“Gonna give it 4 stars because while the aburasoba is good I'd like them to make mazesoba too, which has more complex ingredients, preparation, and flavor. Mogomogu in Sawtelle, LA sets the benchmark for great mazesoba on the west coast.“

“Got the chicken tantanmen and the spicy pork and both were 10/10. I wasn’t even hungry—more, I-could-eat level hunger—and I downed my ramen in less than 10. I couldn’t stop eating it it was so good. Partner is Mexican so I’m use to eating spicy. 7 is a comfortable spicy but the souper spicy side is def spicy, so I recommend getting that if you want to enjoy ramen with a challenging spice.

Still can’t get over how good both ramens were.“

“Fast friendly service. But you’ll be taking a to-go bag home for sure!! I was stuffed!!“

“This place is delicious, I got the pork chasu rice bowl and the gyoza, also tried some of the dry noodles everything was great, the service was super quick and the atmosphere is very nice and upscale

I will definitely be coming back here!

Went on a Friday and it was super busy so I’d recommend making reservations especially if you have a bit of a larger party“

“First time visit! Love the bone marrow so much and also the broth of soup is so delicious. Is unusual to find ramen with beef, but it is actually really good. The only thing I think should be improve is the cleanliness of the restaurant. I notice there’s a lot of dust on the wall. It really should be cleaned.“

“Love the energy, love the food, love the staff!! I absolutely enjoyed the whole experience.
The restaurant is cozy and comfortable with great Ramen and awesome people!
10 out 10 experience.
5 stars all the way! ❤️

Parking: If you come after 6pm, it's free street parking. Depending on the day of the week will depend on how easily it will be to find a space to park.
I parked 3 blocks away and walked here.
Still worth it!“

“Excellent ramen restaurant! Probably one of the best in the Bay Area in my opinion. Food and service are fantastic! Yuri and Ryota were both kind, considerate, quick, and caring to make our dinner a wonderful experience. Food is delicious and quick.

Highly recommend!

I wish it were closer to San Jose!

Parking can be a bit tight sometimes, but not terrible.

Tip: if eating with kids, keep them away from the ordering screen so they don't accidentally order items ?

Kid-friendliness: Servers are wonderful with kids. Kind and helpful. Appropriate utensils and serving dishes for kids“

“Ramen Parlor has been one of my longtime go-to spots in San Mateo — especially for their lobster miso ramen, which I’ve been ordering for years. The flavors are still solid and the broth has that rich seafood depth that makes it stand out from other ramen shops.

That said, I do feel like the dish was better a few years ago — the broth had more complexity and the overall presentation felt a bit more refined back then. It’s still good, just not quite the same standout it once was.

Service is friendly and the atmosphere is casual and welcoming. Definitely worth a visit if you’re craving something different from the usual tonkotsu or shoyu ramen — especially if you haven’t tried their lobster miso bowl before.“

“Gotta try their broth! The best in the Bay Area.“

“I'm obsessed with Ramen Dojo! Being just 15 minutes from my place, I finally took the plunge and tried it after months of recommendations.
The service is great, and the Ramen is AMAZING! I've tried 4 different plates, and each one is a favorite. I'm hooked now - definitely worth checking out!“

“Beyond the best Ramen in SF. It’s no wonder it’s always on the top 100 for the Chronicle. Michelin needs to review“

“This is long overdue for how much I love this place. It's a quiet quaint little restaurant with some real flavor coming out the back. Granted I've never sat down to eat but it's your run of the mill "no frills" residential SF restaurant. The service is always friendly and quick. The food is where the hoopla is at. I'm not gonna scream and say best ramen in SF (though for me...personally...) This is genuinely my comfort restaurant. The protein portions don't make you question the price as SF will do to many. When I want guaranteed good meal on an off day or a rainy day, then I just go here. I hope to see them stay and if they desire to, expand. Please check them out if your on the fence.

Also very effective take out/delivery packaging of food. For some reason restaurants struggle with ramen packaging, though they make it so simple. This usually means I can enjoy my ramen and then whatever soup/broth I have leftover (I'm light on my broth) then I can make another meal the next day. Bless.

Parking: There paid street parking on Ocean Ave and free parking in the residentials surrounding. THERE IS NO PARKING/CURBSIDE DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF THE BUSINESS.“

“My reason for no dinner tonight; I had a late lunch To Go, today 2:45 pm, Torraku-Ramen on De Haro, Chicken Katsu Don, Tempura and Edamame- All So Yummy!“

“awesome flavors! really good food“

“Friendly staff. Fast order.“

“Everything so tasty. Chicken karage and butakakuni tasked so good.“

“What a fun airport hotel restaurant location! You're able to look right out on the airport, watching planes come and go. Service was absolutely impeccable. Cocktails were amazing -- creative and fun while being delicious and beautiful. (Only complaint is that the bar is upstairs and it can take some time to get a cocktail) Wine list is solid,with excellent choices at reasonable prices. Food was out of this world!! We had Shrimp Fried Rice, the Wagyu burger, and the Scallops. All were cooked perfectly and plated beautifully. We didn't leave a single crumb! Highly recommend eating here, even if you're not flying anywhere!!“

“Waited approximately one hour to be seated. Spoiker: it was well worth that wait. I ordered the tonkatsu ramen and pork buns. I can't decide which part was better, the noodles or the broth! The pork buns were priced just right at $8 for 2. Some of the best I've had. You are all so lucky to have such a wonderful ramen bar in your community. I am from Maine and will be sure to stop by this establishment every chance I get once I am in town.“

“I ordered the Beef Okonomiyaki, some people call it Japanese Pizza, a delicious pancake made with a special batter with tempura flakes, small pieces of sliced beef, leeks and cabbage mixed and topped with very thin dry sliced beef, Japanese mayonnaise and a sweet umami sauce similar to Tonkatsu sauce. This restaurant opens early and serves American breakfast among other things.“

“It was not our first time here , it’s one of those places where u wanna go on the weekends cuz easy working n most importantly, not too pricey and food is good for the prices.
I got two lunch ramen , and was able to ask to swap out the rice for more salads
Def will go back with my children.
It’s a cozy little restaurant, it’s a place for u to eat finish n go place.

Parking: Street parking was easy on a Sunday lunch time

Kid-friendliness: They were able to provide forks , kids tableware , but no stroller“

“It has a very interesting menu, I really enjoy the food.“

“Really really great ramen shop. The service was super quick and friendly. Was seated immediately at the bar top, and a server brought me water right away. I took a second to read their small menu, and decided quickly. The server knew I was ready, and was there as soon as I put my menu down. The ramen was great- the grilled pork belly was incredible. The flavor was unlike any pork belly I’ve had before. Broth was good, and noodles were very satisfying.
Highly suggest checking them out!“

“This place hits different, everything was so good. Couldn’t even name anything that wasn’t good. Loved the ribeye, pork belly and vermicelli with scallop. Had to order it again, just that good. Nice service and atmosphere, very nice music taste too!“

“I love the ramen, the only thing is that I was expecting a softer yolk in the egg, but i got a hard boiled instead, they overcooked the egg, but its okay...“

“This palce is a certain of community and history on Bernal Heights. Old friends come in to greetings of hugs and kisses from the staff. New patrons are welcomed in almost equal fashion! The food and vibe is hearty and made with love. No Reservations. Come over, put you name down, but you can enjoy wine or beer from a freat ludt inside or outsides as you wait. Shhh!!! Don't tell anyone else.“

“very fresh sushi, good service ☺️“

“Good food and fast service!“

“Just went here our first time on valintines day and although I did not have any noodles we had spicy spring rolls the Katsu chicken and chicken teriyaki skewers and everything tasted so good thin cuts of chicken lots of flavor all under thirty bucks we will definitely be back“

“It’s great option when you feel like Ramen at the food court. But it’s the food court, so don’t expect the same experience/taste from the top ramen spot in town. Be mindful that if you are ordering the Cha-Shu rice, make sure you communicate with them about the source (it’s a spicy mayo). Our really didn’t like the source but it’s all over the bowl.“

“I was actually jonesing for some good Japanese curry when we were searching for a place to eat.. I decided on Fumi because the Japanese curry before the ramen lol must be good if it’s first right? It was perfect and the ramen was really good too. I definitely recommend this place for doing “simply” delicious.“

“I was seated right away during lunch time and it wasn't too busy. My favorite and reason for my visit was to have the torikawa (chicken skin skewers) I also had the Bento with the shrimp tempura and shioyaki salmon. Everything was delicious 😋 I almost forgot to take photos as I was hungry lol... price was also reasonable.“

“Noodleosophy is local Bay Area chain focusing on hand-pulled noodle dishes, and this location in particular can be found in Millbrae's Social Eatery food hall. As part of Social Eatery, patrons can take a seat within the food hall, place their orders on the provided tablet, and a staff member will bring the food an beverages straight to your table.

We decided to get their beef tendon noodle soup and selected the biang biang noodles (you're able to customize the dish to your liking with whatever noodle option you prefer). We also got a side of their pork and shrimp dumplings, because who doesn't love dumplings?

The beef tendon noodle soup was rich and flavorful, while the accompanying noodles were perfectly cooked and chewy - providing a great mouth feel to the dish. The dumplings were delicious as well, and were a nice addition to the meal as a whole.

If you're ever in the Millbrae area and want a one-stop shop for all your dining and beverage needs, then Social Eatery is definitely the place to go and be sure to enjoy some delicious hand-pulled noodles from Noodleosophy while you're at it!“

“We just popped in to try it out and we are absolutely in love with the place! My partner got the spicy tonkatsu ramen, it was a perfect blend of spice and warmth, very filling. I got the unagi bowl and it came with a side of miso soup. I have to say that it was the richest miso I have ever had and was absolutely delicious. Everything is well portioned and the staff were very attentive. I would absolutely recommend me this for a casual lunch or dinner and will be coming back again soon.“

“😋😋 good eating experience“

“On the cheaper side for food, and it's amazing. Haven't tried their ramen but tonkatsu curry is great.Takoyaki is more on the soft side, and karaage isn't crispy— but good. It's a different style— liking it would be preference.“

“I have never written a public review for a restaurant before but the ramen here is absolutely incredible. Much better than Japan town in SF. I only wish more of this store is around. Parking is better than Japan town, flavor is incredible. Highly recommend!!“

“Fantastic food and good prices Excellent service“
