What Fanny likes about Santa Ramen:
Yum! Santa Ramen in San Mateo, CA is my favorite ramen noodle restaurant. I just crave their ramen all the time. To be honest, I have gone to Santa Ramen 6 times in the past month. Their ramen is 10 times better than Iroha in San Francisco’s Japantown. Wh View all feedback. What m k Meintzer doesn't like about Santa Ramen:
Every time I order take out they always mess something up. She does not repeat your order to make sure she has it correct when you place it. It's hard to check it when you pickup because everything is tied up in the plastic bags. They always seem to be short-staffed. View all feedback.

Best ramen I've had since Japan. I'll be making a point of going every time I'm in San Mateo.

Santa Ramen stands out as a premier destination for ramen enthusiasts in the Bay Area. With a focus solely on ramen, this restaurant has garnered a loyal following, offering a customizable experience with three basic broth choices and a variety of toppings. Diners rave about the light yet flavorful broth, perfectly cooked noodles, and delightful options like pork cheek and garlic miso ramen. Though occasionally affected by short staffing, the overall quality of food and service remains impressive. Whether you're a local or a visitor, Santa Ramen promises a satisfying culinary adventure worth the wait.

The ramen was cooked perfectly, however, the broth had a slight gamey taste to it. I'm not sure why, as I have tried ramen in various Japanese restaurants in To...
