No frills simple ramen with decent flavor. Service was good. Was easy to get a table when we arrived.

The ramen is great and the portions are hefty on the meat portions relative to other ramen shops in the area. Service isn't the fastest and it gets a little busy so expect a slight wait if your coming during dinner time.

Every dish was very good. DH really liked the chicken teriyaki bento. Service is still the weak point. Seems like they forgot our order. People who ordered after us were served long before us. DH finally complained

Had lunch @ Santa Ramen & thus would a 4th time here in 2023. Being a San Matean, I've tried a few locals along the way. To say the least, excellent service & the tasty karaage, along with the Ramen is a 5.
