What Nima doesn't like about Kaito:
I really wanted this to be a good ramen spot. Being a local in Santa Cruz there are no places to get ramen so when I saw this place with 5 stars I was excited and gave it a try. Very disappointed, the soup had a terrible aftertaste kind of like the smell of a barnyard and they only give you one piece of meat which was at least tender, little to no veggies and some soggy seaweed. This did not scratch that itch, really... View all feedback. What User likes about Kaito:
One review said that this was the best robbers in Santa Cruz (the only one). I agreed that the rams really didn't taste bad. The soup was good, Chashu was good, corn was fresh and sweet. Your sushi was also great. I guess whenever I want to eat ramen. I'm here. View all feedback.

Great raben! they also have a good selection of Japanese desserts.

We visited Santa Cruz a lot and Kaito was always the standard if we don't know what to eat. I love sharp garlic rays especially. But we haven't come to Santa Cr...
