Men-bei Noodle - Santa Clara

We arrived at the restaurant on a Sunday afternoon and ordered the Spicy men-bei ramen and a combination of Spicy miso ramen with half fried rice. The fried rice was delicious with generous portions, even though we only ordered half an order. The service could use some improvement as it took a while for our order to be taken. The restaurant is on the smaller side and Japanese-owned, so you can expect authentic dishes. The ramen was good, but the fried rice was the standout for us. Luckily, the restaurant is conveniently close to our home. We plan to try the chicken karage on our next visit.

This is our second time here, but I think it’s safe to say that this place does not disappoint! The portions are generous, especially the GIANT omelet rice. The yakisoba was so delicious and their ramen (not pictured) is flavorful and yummy!The service is great and my toddler even loved dining in!

The Omurice here will put you into a heavenly food coma. The portion is enough for 2 meals!Food: 5/5

Perfect little spot for genuine ramen. Creamy vegan broth was bowl to mouth good. Avoid the lunch crowd from 12 noon to perhaps 1 pm. They close between 2:30 pm to 5 pm. There was nobody when I came in at 11:30 am but everybody started trickling in right at noon. The place was starting to get packed just as I remember it being crowded years ago when I last visited.

We both ordered the Men-Bei Ramen. The portion size was large and the waiter was very friendly. However, the ramen itself was nothing to write home about. It was decent for $15, but I probably wouldn't order it again. The other menu items seemed intriguing, but I'm not sure if I would return solely for the ramen.
