_January 25, 2016Garlic lobster pork flavor parlor ramen with corn is delicious! Come early like you would for any ramen shop and waiting in line.
Fantastic garlic lobster broth ramen with soft shell crab. Perfect match. The tacoyaki(octopus ball) is so so.
PeggyMay 9, 2016Soft-shell crab and quail eggs were novel toppings. Ramen is on the spicy side, so consider sticking to mild unless you love spicy.
V CJuly 11, 2016Lobster garlic pork was a spicy, rich bowl of wonderful. Glad I got the mild spicy and not anything spicier. The soft shell crab was tasty. Spare rib was soft, slightly tangy - enjoyed it.
KendaOctober 21, 2018Upvote for the pork lobster oil ramen, loved the flavor and the eggy, chewy noodle texture. Spicy cucumber salad app was hella tasty too!
Karina MJanuary 13, 2014Try the Ramen in spicy garlic Lobster Pork broth topped w deep fried soft shell crab and egg.
Agnes LiongJanuary 1, 2012Love the ramen! What I love is that they already include all the good toppings, unlike other places where u have to pay extra. Portion wad reasonable and no long lines!!:) (3 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more
Jones JonesDecember 28, 2013Spicy crab miso ramen is yummy. The broth is a bit too flavorful for my taste, however this place still beats the ramen restaurants in LA. I think Ramen Dojo broth is better.
Russell LSeptember 14, 2015The medium spicy ramen is just about the perfect level of spiciness. Egg is well cooked. You can skip the karaage.- Bridget GaelOctober 28, 2022Excellent ramen spot. We loved the house pork soup. Spicy cucumbers were also good. Pass on the pot stickers
Matt McGunagleSeptember 18, 2015Food was excellent. Water seems to be a bit scarce, which was concerning because the mild-spice was too hot for this white boy. Not sure whom to blame. Drought? Will investigate further.
Kristine VelezAugust 14, 2014Really liked this place since they have ramen broths that are not spicy. The Lobster Garlic Pork broth is good!
Kevin SoongOctober 19, 2014Ridiculously addictive garlic lobster broth ramen. Definitely order the soft shell crab!!!
Edna LoMarch 21, 2015Different flavor ramen broth. Lobster flavor was really good but a little on the greasy side. Curry ramen was delicious.
Diwata BacaniJuly 19, 2015Garlic Lobster. Went here on a Friday and was able to beat the rush by 6:15pm.
Bassam BitarMay 2, 2018Just like everyone said, lobster garlic pork ramen was fantastic. Spicy cucumber was good too.
Jesse MolinaNovember 26, 2011The soy sauce ramen was the best out of the miso, curry, pork and soy sauce. The pork came in a close second. I'd also recomnd the venison appitizer. :-)
Jonathan LiewMarch 25, 2013The miso was ramen was really good especially if you get either medium or extra spicy
TeresaOctober 21, 2015get there at 11:15 and you'll be in the first wave of seating at 11:30 for sure!
Xuan YueAugust 14, 2015Lobster garlic pork ramen is the best! But they are definitely closed before 8pm, not at 9pm.
kurt westphalMarch 12, 2016Great food lobster ramen tasty. Item delivery and staff attention to detail needs improvement- Nancy TranJuly 7, 2015Same owner as Ramen Dojo and usually not as much of a wait. The lobster broth and crab are popular here.
Tara MunikarApril 26, 2016Got the lobster garlic ramen, very flavourful! Probably would get it less spicy next time though.
Pavan KulkarniMay 24, 2017The miso ramen is pretty good. Beware that every broth here is pork based , no vegetarian options
Tricia LeeFebruary 22, 2014Not bad ... Better than most ramen places in San Mateo but not sure what all the hype is. Ippudo in nyc is the gold standard and have yet to find a place this good out here
RichmarkNovember 11, 2011Try the Pork Flavor Ramen - With lobster oil. Added fried crispy garlic, egg, corn, nori and extra spicy.
Avoid Tuesdays because that's when it gets more crowded than usual here. Probably because ramen dojo down the road is closed on Tuesday and the crowd ends up here.
- Rhia R.December 28, 2012Garlic pork ramen with lobster oil, and topped with soft shell crab? Yes, please!
It's all about the Garlic Lobster Pork ramen with kimchi. Oh baby, oh baby.- RichmarkDecember 15, 2011Try the Miso Flavor with Lobster Oil - Added egg, corn, crispy fried garlic and spicy
Make sure to mix the bacon bits to disperse evenly throughout the ramen. Biting a chunk of bacon bits is not as pleasant as one would think.
Bkwm JMarch 27, 2012No fan of lobster oil (strong taste of lobster head), just ask them to serve on the side & no need to wait in line at Dojo next door...
Carolynne R.January 4, 2012If you like garlic, make sure you get the fried garlic added to your ramen. It is glorious.
