Ramen Parlor

Features distinctive lobster garlic pork and crab specialty ramen bowls.

Ramen Parlor gives a bowl of Japanese noodles an unusually seafood-focused set of possibilities. Its San Mateo menu offers classic pork, miso, and garlic-pork flavors, then adds lobster variations and crab specialties. We like how that creates a choice between a familiar ramen order and something more distinctive, such as crab spicy miso or crab curry ramen. Pork tan tan men comes with either red chili oil or black garlic oil, offering another way to explore the richer side of the menu. Vegetable and vegetable curry ramen provide alternatives, while karaage supplies a fried-chicken side to share. The Parlor bowls include soft-shell crab among their toppings, giving the restaurant's specialty selection a clear identity. Ramen Parlor's appeal is this range of broths and seafood combinations, with classic Japanese noodle-shop choices still available for anyone who wants a simpler starting point.
