Taishoken Ramen

Best Ramen in town!

Went to this place for dinner on a Friday night with a couple of friends for Ramen. Most of their Ramens are pork broth based & I don't really prefer that, so I got their Veggie Ramen with Mushroom & Yuzu broth. The broth was great and tasted very fresh due to the Yuzu. I did ask them to add a soft-boiled egg, which they forgot at first. I also requested for the spicy chili oil to be added for that extra kick. It tasted pretty great - especially the thin fresh noodles. I was surprised that they didn't have any Chicken protein option for their Ramen - not even as add-ons. We also ordered the Chicken Karagee & Calamari for appetizers, and they both were fantastic. They have an extensive menu outside of the Ramen that we didn't explore as much. Definitely would visit here again if I am around San Mateo, although I do wish they had a Chicken Ramen option on their menu. Highly recommend for folks who are open to eating Beef or Pork. There is parking around the restaurant and easy to find. Reservations recommended.

The veggie ramen is very one dimensional. It’s not creamy, doesn’t have much going on. Won’t recommend. They should work on another creamier veggie ramen
