Santa Barbara Craft Ramen

Food was great. But the waiters were extremely rude. The waiter just grabbed the plate from our table without asking and handed us the cheque, while we were still eating.

Food is fine, not amazing but not the best, ordered the vegan ramen, says it comes with tofu however when I picked up my to go order, there was no tofu , and on top of it there was like less then half full broth…. AND on top of that, when trying to call them and tell them that they messed up my order and gave me barely any broth for my noodles, they LITERALLY don’t answer the phone… I called at least 15 times. Terrible service… would not recommend. Go get pho instead!

Spectacular food, quick and attentive service, and a very relaxing atmosphere. The food came out quickly and hot! If you’re looking for some delicious ramen, this is the spot.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This place is so nice! ✨ At night, the fires turn on and create such a cozy, beautiful atmosphere. 🔥 It’s in the perfect location, and they have a delicious miso veggie soup with tofu that I absolutely love. 🍲

My boyfriend first brought me here, and now I can’t stop coming back! ❤️ The staff are always so pleasant and go out of their way to accommodate me, which I really appreciate. Highly recommend! 🌿

We loved this spot for our first taste of Santa Barbara, conveniently close to our hotel. The ramen was tasty with a charred pork belly (in a good way) very flavorful. We sat outside and the sun was just starting to come out after rain on a Tuesday. It was a little chilly, but the restaurant provided heat lamps. My dish was do so. It was a beef bowl and the meat was sparse and lacked flavor. We also got chicken karaga which was very tasty and came with a soy sauce and slightly spicy yellow mustard sauce! The worst part and no fault of the restaurant, but two yappy dogs were there throughout the service and the owners made little attempt to quiet them down. Overall if was a pleasant place and a great location.

Take it or le a very it staff attitude, Ramen were not hot, did not apoear very fresh and the spinach looked like a frozen clump. Egg was fine. Taste of the broth was mediocre at best. Won't be back.

They can help you create a gluten free Ramen dish. It was delicious. Staff was attentive and seemed really informed about GF items and options. Vegetarian options are available as well. Large servings. Seating is outdoors, which is fantastic for people- watching.

I ordered the vegetable ramen (vegan) as it was on the menu and I have to say it was the best ramen I've ever had. The miso broth with soy milk is excellent and all the ingredients tasted fresh and very well seasoned. Highly recommend. That is the only choice they have that is vegan as is but many others can be modified to be vegan.

Every time I come to Santa Barbara, I pass by this place. It's always packed so we decided to finally try it. We got the tuna katsu and that was okay, we found it under seasoned. Hubby and I both got the black ramen and my kids ate the original ramen. The kids gave the ramen 9/10. We give it 10/10. The ramen was very delicious. We gave the chicken karage 8/10. Overall a great experience.

Its more like a fast food sushi place on the main street, and they don't have rainbow roll...Come on! No sriracha as well. Food is simply OK, nothing new here or exciting. Thanks.

We were so happy to find this spot. Delicious ramen for adults. The severes accommodated our littles and their ask for soup and noodles only. The vegan Nuggets were a hit, too. The miso broth is so good!
