I have mixed feelings about this restaurant. Some of the food was delicious and some of it was meh. There's a lot of hype about the Ramen, but I have had much better. Maybe it just wasn't for me. I also didn't care for the gyoza, we actually had them take it back after trying it. It was really bad, maybe a bad batch. I thought they would take it off the bill, but didn't. The shrimp and fried chicken were amazing and I recommend those. I will probably not return.
If you're not sure about what to get, and you don't mind a little spice, go for the Shiro Tan Tan Ramen. Just enough heat to feel warm without any burning sensation, and it's very hearty and savory too. If anything, there was a bit too much cilantro in mine, and I was expecting chewier noodles. Still good overall though.
I ordered the Tan Tan Men and it was good! A decent price for what you get, but definitely not the best Tan Tan or spicy ramen I’ve had. What I appreciated the most about this restaurant was the theming and comfy atmosphere, and the fact that many menu items were accompanied by a drawing of the dish. It made sure you weren’t blind to what you were ordering, and that was certainly unique. A ramen place worth trying in downtown San Mateo. Overall, I might come again. 3/5.
