Menya Inshou Japanese Ramen - San Mateo

This is my favorite place for ramen. Not usually crowded, but the food is very good. I almost always go for the Tan Tan Ramen very tasty soup, lots of ingredients, generous portions, and good portions of chopped up veggies and pork also, plus the tan tan meat sauce. The stew pork and curry rice dishes are VERY good and quite reasonably priced. Highly recommended!

Cozy and friendly atmosphere. Very casual dining. The staff were super cool. Props to 'Amy '! She was the waitress helping us. Americas Got Talent was on the flat screen. So we had some tv while we ate. Ordered the Tonkotsu Ramen 5/5 for flavor and appearance. Shoyu Ramen 4/5 great but not awesome. Gyoza appetizer 5/5 perfectly prepared and tasty. Cheese Tonkotsu appetizer 5/5 cheesy and deelish! Will def return to try some of their large selection of sushi and other Ramens.

Excellent service! We tried 2 appetizers and 4 dishes. The appetizers came out quickly. My young daughter really enjoyed the seaweed salad. Our ramen arrived shortly after with a smile. I like that the bowls aren't identical. Everyone enjoyed their dishes. The wait staff came and refilled our tea and water and checked on us throughout our meal. There were 2 TVs in the restaurant. One of them was playing a Totoro movie. At the end of the meal, one of the wait staff came over and asked how I liked the Tsuke Men Miso. We talked about the broth and he explained the change in the recipe to suit their customers. I really appreciated him taking the time to find out how his customer liked the dish. His attentiveness made me a fan. We will be back.

We stayed next to Mental Inshou on a business trip, and it was so delicious that we came back twice during the week we were there! The first visit I got the Shoyu Ramen with thick broth and it was excellent. The second visit I got the Curry Ramen and it was incredible! I personally enjoyed the Curry better but both were amazing and highly recommended. My work associate got the Tonkotsu ramen both visits because she loved it so much. The staff was very friendly and welcoming, and were very accommodating to my sesame allergy as well. If we return next year, we will definitely come eat again!

This is one of my favorite Ramen places in the bay. Great selection of broths. I usually get the spicy garlic and I destroy it each time. Today I got the Curry Ramen a d it was wonderful.
