Totoro Ramen, a cute little restaurant located in the Woodlake Shopping Plaza in San Mateo, offers a diverse menu with standout dishes. The tonkatsu ramen and curry katsu are particularly praised, with the ramen broth and meat receiving high marks. The newly introduced curry ramen is their best ramen yet, boasting fragrant curry flavors that pair well with the chicken katsu. The veggie and curry ramen options are also well-received, showcasing clear vegetarian and vegan options. Portion sizes are generous, and the toppings are varied and colorful. The service is friendly and fast, with orders often ready within 10 minutes. Customers can conveniently order from a tablet at their table, allowing for extensive customization of their bowls. A nice perk is the free hot tea and water available with orders. The ramen noodles are consistently chewy and delicious, and the vegetarian broth is yummy. The fried chicken over rice is another tasty, well-portioned option. While the restaurant provides a satisfying dining experience, especially for its savory main courses, the dessert menu may not meet expectations, as the mochi is advertised as 4 pieces but only consists of 2 balls cut into quarters, with additional toppings that some may find unnecessary. Overall, Totoro Ramen is recommended for its fantastic food, friendly service, and a large free parking lot.
