Service is always polite and efficient. Food arrives quickly, and it's always perfect food for cool winter evenings. The spicy ramen w/ added egg, and standard tsukemon are our gotos. Plenty of filling fatty flavors and textures.Adding sides, appetizers or the extra meat makes it a Lot of food, with no room left over for one of the many dessert-centric walkable places. We go early in the evening, as even years after opening, this place has a line (worth it) even in the middle of the week.It's consistent, full of flavor, deep comfort food. One of my top 5 in downtown San Mateo
Good food. The buckwheat noodles are good and the soup is very flavorful.

Went to this place for dinner on a Friday night with a couple of friends for Ramen. Most of their Ramens are pork broth based & I don't really prefer that, so I got their Veggie Ramen with Mushroom & Yuzu broth. The broth was great and tasted very fresh due to the Yuzu. I did ask them to add a soft-boiled egg, which they forgot at first. I also requested for the spicy chili oil to be added for that extra kick. It tasted pretty great - especially the thin fresh noodles.I was surprised that they didn't have any Chicken protein option for their Ramen - not even as add-ons.We also ordered the Chicken Karagee & Calamari for appetizers, and they both were fantastic. They have an extensive menu outside of the Ramen that we didn't explore as much.Definitely would visit here again if I am around San Mateo, although I do wish they had a Chicken Ramen option on their menu. Highly recommend for folks who are open to eating Beef or Pork.There is parking around the restaurant and easy to find. Reservations recommended.

The veggie ramen is very one dimensional. It’s not creamy, doesn’t have much going on. Won’t recommend. They should work on another creamier veggie

The barbecued pork is super thick! The noodles are deliciousVery American portions
I was craving some ramen and noticed this place had a lot of good reviews which influenced me to check it out. I came here right when they opened at 5pm Thursday and was seated right away. The place has nice decor and is spacious - service was quick as well. I ordered the Spicy Niku Ramen Soup - it was good. I enjoyed the texture of the noodles (wish there was a little more) and the broth was tasty (just a little thicker than what I'm use to). I'd recommend this place.
I believe I reviewed this before but I am back and I tried something new. I got the brothless ramen and wow this one is good!!! I love the thick noodles and the flavor is full even without the broth. Service was so fast even though we came around closing time. I will be coming back and getting this one. Last time we got the chicken karage and it was lacking so this time I didn't get it. Friends got sake and they enjoyed it. If you like thick noodles, get that item!!!
