This place is really good, I especially loved the spicy crab miso ramen. Highly recommend, despite a somewhat steep price.

Decent good, great service. But man, “shrink-flation” really caused all the dishes to be smaller and more expensive ($20 before tax and tips). What happened to reasonable prices?
Service was fantastic, but closer to $40 for ramen and sake I wish I had gone somewhere else.I got their house special mild spicy. Their special thing is a scoop of mushroom and ground pork congee, made it feel Chinese, especially with the bok choy added.It was alright, but expected better passing by San Mateo. Two slices of chashu that had melty fat, but tougher meat. Expecting better quality as well. Egg noodles are okay too, have had fresher. Got an extra ramen egg which tasted nice, and not too overbearing on soy.

The food was good. This is the first time I had ramen in a proper Japanese restaurant and I liked it. The chicken Karaghi that the spouse had was very okayish. The edamame starter was good. Though it was just boiled and salted, it was yummy. The host helped me how to eat them. That was generous of them because I was struggling to eat it, the way it was served.

Decided to try a new ramen spot. Went here and got the spicy garlic pork ramen, and it was really good. It came with half an egg and chashu pork. The broth was creamy but not too heavy. My only complaint was that my water never got refilled and no one ever really came to our table. Other than that, that was a really good place, and I would go back. They also have their own parking lot with lots of parking.

So much yum!!I got the classic garlic pork broth with fried garlic and 3 quail eggs added. He got the lobster miso broth with the fried soft shell crab and pork.Everything was so good. Better than taishoken, better than himawari, better than Santa ramen, and even better than ramen dojo (which I hear they also own).We will 100% be back!

One of the best ramen places on the peninsula!! Great flavors in the soup, perfectly cooked pork slices, and wonderful noodle texture. Garlic pork ramen is a must try, and having its own parking lot makes a big difference.

Always a pleasure to be here! My family has been coming here for years and their food and service has never wavered in outstanding quality, if anything it’s gotten better! Their soup base is one of the best in San Mateo and I’m a big fan of their takoyaki. Recommend to anyone looking for good ramen in the area!
The attention to detail, the quality of the food, and the overall atmosphere make Ramen Parlor a standout destination for ramen enthusiasts. Whether you're a seasoned ramen lover or new to the world of Japanese cuisine, I highly recommend giving Ramen Parlor a try. It's more than just a meal; it's a culinary journey.

Had the classic pork ramen and it was delicious. One of the top 5 best I've had.

I am quite surprised how they can make ramen with lobster and soft shell crab at this price. The food is quick and the quality is decent. I enjoy bold and rich flavor of ramen and this place can deliver. The karaage portion is filling. This is another place I can rely on.

Your one stop shop for amazing fresh ramen! I can see why this place is so popular. My husband and I came around 6:45pm on a Saturday evening; we were a little nervous at first because we saw quite a line standing outside. Thankfully, the wonderful people who work here are extremely professional and know how to manage the dinner rush perfectly. We waited maybe 10/15 minutes before being seated, quickly had our order taken, and our food came right out. Even receiving the check and paying was seamless. Since we are new to eating here we didn’t know to put our names on the waitlist on their door on the inside until some regular customers informed us; but no big deal we would have eventually figured it out. Overall, extremely delicious food, phenomenal service, and cool aesthetic; highly recommend!

I ordered a “soft crab” ramen. I like the flavor that it is very different. The soft crab was very underwhelming. I wish I ordered the normal ramen. I’m not sure if I will come a second time.
