Ramen Restaurants near Redwood City, CA

“This is by far the best restaurant in RWC for food quality and service. I’ve never had the chance to dine in, but they have take out ready consistently in under 15 minutes and it’s always delicious. They have a very convenient app for take out and it’s dangerous…“

“First time trying this place and it’s now our favorite place for sushi in the Bay Area. TLDR food is fresh, their service is awesome, space is a bit tight. We ordered a deluxe chirashi and a oh baby box for two of us. They both came with a free miso soup. Food is fresh and we are very happy with the portion. A big highlight of the dinner was the service here. The sever was very patient when explaining the menu for us and gave us extra napkins to hold the tea cups since they were very hot. We also asked for extra wraps for the sushi box and were given a lot (and they have soy paper here too!). It seems that they also do takeout with pretty good packaging. We will definitely come here again!“

“Love this restaurant. We know the owner, who is also the sushi chef, and we have been eating food from this restaurant but mostly order to go. It has plenty of items on the menu. I like the tempura. It is cooked nicely. The sashimi is fresh, and the hamachi roll is unique. The special ramen has thick chewy noodles, which is good. The soup is not that heavy. It is interesting that it has a scallop. It is yummy. Overall we are satisfied with our dinner.“

“This has to be one of, if not, thee best ramen spot on the peninsula. Honestly, probably one of the best in CA. The food is always delicious and very fresh. The service is snappy and on point. There can be a descent wait time(30-50min) on certain days but I really believe it’s worth the wait. My favorite is the most popular ramen dish they serve: Homura Aburasoba. It never seems to disappoint.“

“Ramen is still unfortunately an insanely difficult dish to rate, because it largely depends on your preference for many things (and there isn't a culture of customizing your ramen here in America) Overall though, I think Hironori is a great stop to grab ramen, even though it's not necessarily my style. Vibes in the restaurant are nice and cozy, staff is friendly, and they have watermelon infused water (?!) The crispy chicken (karaage) was definitely a highlight. Not my favorite style, but very interesting and tender nonetheless. I chose the thin noodles, but I believe they are probably more specialized for their thick noodles. Both the broth and noodles would fall into a 3-4 star for me, but the chashu was a fantastic 5 star given both its flavor and cut size. Great choice in San Mateo if you're in the area!“

“Fast friendly service. But you’ll be taking a to-go bag home for sure!! I was stuffed!!“

“Overall an enjoyable Ramen experience. The ramen joint is no-frills with a few types of ramen offerings and add-ons such as Chicken Karage and Gyoza. Their red king ramen has a great balance of spice, garlic, and umami flavours in the broth - of course, you can adjust many aspects of your dish based on your liking. The only con is that they always have long lines, and there is no waiting system so you have to stand in front of the shop, rain or shine. However, lines do move fast enough that it feels worth the wait.“

“Good food and fast service!“

“Sorry I keep forgetting to share my experience about this outstanding strip mall restaurant in San Mateo. I almost forgot again to take a picture or when I remembered the food was almost gone. You order off a tabletop pad which takes away from the experience of a physical menu. I hate learning to use a tablet to order in a restaurant, takes away from the ambiance of talking to waitstaff. I do have to admit the curry katsu is exceptionally good. I would come here more often but being it takes an hour of travel time from San Francisco makes it more difficult.“

“Love their foods, so delicious and fancy will bring my family & friends there again!!“

“I visited your ramen restaurant and was absolutely delighted! The interior is very cozy, and the staff was extremely polite and attentive. The ramen was simply amazing – the broth was rich and flavorful, the noodles were tender and perfectly cooked, and the toppings were fresh and appetizing. I especially enjoyed the spicy broth ramen – it was a real treat. I will definitely come back and recommend your restaurant to my friends. Thank you for a fantastic dinner!“

“This is a small restaurant, so a wait is to be expected in the evenings/on weekends. However, it's more than worth it! They have the best ramen I've tried in a long, long time, and the servings of meat and extras in their bowls are HUGE. Like heaping up out and over the bowl. Their sushi is also great; they put a large amount of avocado and fish in their specialty rolls, and everything is very fresh. Can't wait to try this place once I'm back in town!“

“On the cheaper side for food, and it's amazing. Haven't tried their ramen but tonkatsu curry is great.Takoyaki is more on the soft side, and karaage isn't crispy— but good. It's a different style— liking it would be preference.“
