Taishoken Ramen is a popular downtown San Mateo restaurant known for its consistent and flavorful comfort food. The menu features a variety of ramen options, including spicy ramen and veggie ramen with mushroom and yuzu broth. The broths are fresh and flavorful, and the noodles are thin and fresh. The restaurant also offers appetizers like chicken karagee and calamari, which are highly recommended.
The service is polite, efficient, and quick, even on busy evenings. The restaurant is often full, and reservations are recommended to avoid long waits. Customers praise the restaurant's friendly and well-trained staff, as well as the modern and cozy interior with wooden furniture and dim lighting.
The restaurant's specialty dish is the ramen with soup on the side for dipping. Customers particularly enjoy the Tokusei Tsukemen, with its rich and flavorful broth and good portion of noodles. While the egg is praised, some customers find the chashu a little dry. Overall, Taishoken Ramen is a top choice for ramen enthusiasts and those looking for a laid-back, authentic Japanese dining experience.
