Santa Ramen - San Mateo

This place is theee best ramen parlor in the Bay hands down!!! The broth is what really stands out as the best IMO. Its light and flavorful unlike most other ramen establishments.

Noodles and various types of broth made me love this place. Thanks to my US collegues who introduced me to Santa Ramen. Stewed Belly Pork, extra Seaweed and extra kimchi with Sake was my regular order.

Unless you are a local, you will definitely need waze to get here. However, upon arrival, you will be happy to see many Japanese slurping away. The shoyu ramen, gyoza and chicken karaage are good options.

This ramen is unlike the ramen at other places. The soup is full of delicious, lip-smacking flavor. I recommend the pork flavor ramen (both white and black are amazing, yet very different from eachother, but my favorite is the white). Whichever you try (and love) first, you definitely need to try the other next. My taste buds are already salivating just thinking about the pork ramen at Santa Ramen! You HAVE to try it!

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