Read all the reviews so was ready. Sunday night at 6pm, no line, but restaurant was full. By the time we left, there was a line!! Everyone ordered different broth, all were good. Have to have the stewed pork...little bit of heavenly pork belly. Interesting additions to soup, who knew corn would be so good in noodle soup. Service was... More

A traditional ramen house that brings warm and fuzzies to your tummy! Warning, you may become addicted after one try. I've tried many ramen restaurants and no one comes close. As with all great places, you may have to wait a bit to be seated (especially at lunch) - but it's a guarantee for a best bowl of ramen around!!... More

This is good Pho with all the fixings. Even a little intimidating to those new to Pho because there's so many options, such as different noodles and broths. The Pho is good, as is most things on their menu. Parking and getting a table can be a bit of a challenge, this is clearly a popular place. Try to go... More

If you like Japanese Ramen this place is worth a try, The soup base & Ramen is very good but the pork can be better. If you are planing to eat during lunch time I recommend go early before 11:30 am, cause 12pm you will be waiting on a line toward outside the restaurant. Place is kind of tight so... More

Eaten here about 20 times since worked a block away. Really great soup. No vegetarian options. All soup pork based. I always have extra seaweed and corn. Wish they had desserts. They refuse takeout ordering.

There are three Santa related ramen shops in San Mateo and this is the original. Because of the "topping" adding system, it goes really pricy but some of the toppings are the "must try" such as stewed pork. Very greasy and your lips will be sticky after finishing their yummy ramen. Totally not appropriate for those who has food restrictions... More

For somebody who loves and eats a lot of ramen, this was very good ramen. For those who think all ramen is that bland and disgusting top ramen or cup ramen from Safeway, you are missing out. Check out an Asian market, especially a Kotean or Japanese one and you'll think all we ate are ramen, not rice. I think... More

Tanpopo was better...

Great fecommendations on TripAdvisor so I went there. Amazing $7.95 choice of soy sauce, pork, or miso flavord ramen. Then choose items to add in for $1 + each. Perfect portion and great flavor! No line but full restaurant so I ate at the bar. Very pleasant staff and good dinner!
