Santa Ramen

Serving authentic Yokohama-style ramen with rich broth since 1994.

Santa Ramen lets the broth guide the meal. The San Mateo menu includes soy sauce, miso, pork tonkotsu, garlic pork, Tokyo tonkotsu, and Yokohama-style ramen, offering several starting points for a warming noodle bowl. We like the opportunity to explore those different flavors and make the order more personal with additions such as stewed pork belly or pork cheek. Vegetarian ramen provides another option, while karaage, fried pork gyoza, and fried oysters offer smaller dishes to accompany the noodles. There are also rice-based alternatives, including a roast pork chashu bowl and chicken teriyaki or chicken cutlet bento boxes. Santa Ramen's appeal is its clear noodle-shop focus with enough flexibility for a varied order. It is a San Mateo choice for diners who enjoy comparing ramen styles as well as those who simply want their favorite broth and toppings.
