Suggestions for Ramen Restaurant near Downtown San Mateo, San Mateo

Michael M. • January 29, 2015My favorite noodle style of any ramen place I've been to in the Bay Area. They'll bring you extra after you finish (kaedama) if you ask, but save some broth. 'Regular Spicy Garlic Pork' was great

Mitch G. • March 30, 2015An equally unique and delicious ramen broth. Ramen done right!

Nadia S. • August 2, 2019They’re famous for their tsukemen. Their ramen broth is just as good.

Vic Z. • January 7, 2015Calamari is pretty amazing. If you like eggplant, I recommend the Dengaku Miso. Black sesame ramen is spectacular.

Andy W. • April 24, 2023Different type of ramen - oil based rather than soup based. The noodle is very al dente with a ton of bite. Worth trying.

Stefanie W. • August 16, 2010Try the Champon or Sutamina ramen, beef teriyaki bento (best I've had!) and the Gyudon - can't go wrong with any of these.

Justin K. • May 15, 2019I have been here multiple times and can confidently say the noodles are consistently delicious. I usually order Biang Biang noodles but the ramen is also good. Try the spicy cumin lamb served dry.

Charlobo s. • September 23, 2014The ramen on the lunch menu is one of my favorites!

Salvador A. • November 15, 2020Pork cheek ramen with garlic pork flavor!!

Justin K. • April 13, 2022The Tonkatsu broth is my favorite but the Shoyu broth is a close second. You have the option to pick between thin or housemade thick noodles. Make it a combo for +$6 and get a mini donburi and salad.

Jennifer P. • October 25, 2019Chicken katsu don, spicy ramen, garlic edamame (best I’ve had)

Michael S. • October 1, 2014The lunch set for $9.50 is awesome. Ramen + rice bowl + 2pc fried dumplings. I really liked the miso ramen and tonkatsu. Big portions! Cash only during lunch.

Stephen G. • November 6, 2017Nice and rich pork ramen. Simple but pure. Also got the chicken katsu. While tasty it cooled off quickly, probably because there was enough to feed 4 people. Portions here are HUGE (not in a bad way).

Aubrie J. • March 16, 2018The regular Chicken paitan ramen is the best chicken ramen in the city

_ • January 25, 2016This just became one of my favorite ramen places on the city! Both ramens and the karaage were delicious! Would come back again.

Chris B. • October 29, 2010They have amazing ramen here but is served only during lunch.

Jacqueline T. • August 26, 2013The pre Fixe was so worth good. Will come back again

Johnny A. • July 25, 2015Ramen Yamadaya is a great quick place for some hearty ramen. I recommend getting Gyoza and salad to make a full meal.

Ian K. • January 27, 2019One of my top three for ramen in the Bay Area.

YR W. • July 26, 2017Katsu is very high quality. Spicy curry ramen is the best ramen I've had in the US.

Jessica C. • October 11, 2011personally, I love the bento specials that can be easily missed if you don't look up at the board!

William L. • December 11, 2009Like this: Very good ramen joint in Daly City

Serina H. • August 12, 2016Shoyu ramen is so good with egg, bamboo shoot, and fish cake.

Lils 2. • August 28, 2014The corn beef and hash is amazing. The horseradish adds so much flavor. With a side of waffle that was mouthwatering.

Matt G. • July 27, 2014This place might look like a dive, but the food here is amazing. We had fish in tomato sauce and onions and it was cooked very well, light and delicate. This photo is of the beef rice with eggs.
