Ramen Parlor

Decent good, great service. But man, “shrink-flation” really caused all the dishes to be smaller and more expensive ($20 before tax and tips). What happened to reasonable prices?

So much yum!! I got the classic garlic pork broth with fried garlic and 3 quail eggs added. He got the lobster miso broth with the fried soft shell crab and pork. Everything was so good. Better than taishoken, better than himawari, better than Santa ramen, and even better than ramen dojo (which I hear they also own). We will 100% be back!

Decided to try a new ramen spot. Went here and got the spicy garlic pork ramen, and it was really good. It came with half an egg and chashu pork. The broth was creamy but not too heavy. My only complaint was that my water never got refilled and no one ever really came to our table. Other than that, that was a really good place, and I would go back. They also have their own parking lot with lots of parking.

The food was good. This is the first time I had ramen in a proper Japanese restaurant and I liked it. The chicken Karaghi that the spouse had was very okayish. The edamame starter was good. Though it was just boiled and salted, it was yummy. The host helped me how to eat them. That was generous of them because I was struggling to eat it, the way it was served.

Service was fantastic, but closer to $40 for ramen and sake I wish I had gone somewhere else. I got their house special mild spicy. Their special thing is a scoop of mushroom and ground pork congee, made it feel Chinese, especially with the bok choy added. It was alright, but expected better passing by San Mateo. Two slices of chashu that had melty fat, but tougher meat. Expecting better quality as well. Egg noodles are okay too, have had fresher. Got an extra ramen egg which tasted nice, and not too overbearing on soy.

always the best!
