If you're on the fence about trying this place, please give them a chance! We were strolling through downtown Sunnyvale on a date night and saw a sign for ramen at a very reasonable price, and we were not let down that we went in! We were immediately greeted by very friendly staff who sat us promptly and offered good recommendations. They even suggested we should try the plum wine when we asked what it was as we had never tried before, it was a big hit. The ramen was very tasty. Although the broth at other restaurants we have tried may have more flavor, but for the price you can't go wrong. We will definitely be back to support them again, they offer both quality food and service! read more

What a neighborhood gem! We've been to Ramen Seas a few times over the years, and they may now be under new management or ownership, as their menu has changed. They now focus on a few basic ramen selections, some Japanese curry rice dishes, and small rice bowl choices, all at reasonable prices. The Tonkotsu Ramen and Miso Ramen dishes were great, plenty enough to fill us up, served with half a soft boiled egg, simmered pork, and a variety of sides. The Pork Katsu Curry was lovely, served with a perfectly crispy pork katsu, smooth and delicate curry, with the requisite ume pickles. This isn't a huge place, but it's still welcoming with its Japanese art and decor. I'd recommend giving this place a try! read more

This place is perfect for a rainy day! It was quite packed when I went but we got seated very quickly. The interior design is nice and dark with bright lighting so it was very good for catching up and reminiscing. Ended up ordering the Seafood Ramen and it was magnificent. I think the broth was extremely flavorful and the thing I liked the most about this restaurant. I ended drinking all of it! Overall I would give it a 4/5, would definitely come back and try more items on the menu. I do enjoy how they have a supplemental spicy sauce on the side incase you wanted to increase the heat! read more

Ramen Seas - Seafood Ramen - Ramen Near Me - Sunnyvale, California

Ramen Sea is a good spot when you want something warm and satisfying without overthinking it. Their ramen is pretty good, and the specials keep it interesting. This latest time they had a semi- spicy shrimp ramen that packed a tiny bit of heat. The gyoza are a win too, crispy and flavorful and I almost ordered another plate. I visit in weekdays at lunch time. It's rarely busy and the service is quite attentive. Food vines very fast. It's a nice restaurant and I like to die by the window along Murphy Street where it's well lit and you can puerile watch. read more

Really nice server. A low key place for a quick ramen or curry meal. Beers, sweet cocktail and sake also available. Harder to find local places without a big production these days. read more

This is one of the iconic ramen places in Bay Area: Sunnyvale CA and I wanted to give it a try...waited in queue for about 15 mins and my daughter and I were seated at a four seater table next to the entrance. We had a variety style ramen. I had the special Ebi shrimp. One of the best broths and the spice level is kickass. Loved the texture of noodles and the richness of broth. The complimentary bean sprouts are tasty and be sure to order edamame too. Simple menu, full stomach! read more

Me and my friends came to this restaurant after watching the wicked for good movie at the AMC nearby, we spotted the restaurant walking down murphwy street we hadn't really eaten all day and we're hungry. The food was excellent it was hot, full of flavor I ordered the tonkatsu and their pork belly and broth was excellent jaut the right amount of salty and just the right pork flavor. Their oolong tea is delicious. The service was excellent they helped us with all our needs promptly and were very friendly, the ambiance was quiet, cheerful, and relaxing. One of my friends loved the ramen so much he got 2 servings! Needless to say we will be back! read more

Great ramen and the service was amazing but the portions are pretty small for the price. There's also a lot of unnecessary add ons that are extra in comparison to other ramen places that would've thrown on these toppings for free. Good taste, excellent service, but you can definitely get a bang for your buck elsewhere read more

Ramen Seas - "Black" Miso Kakuni Ramen - Ramen Near Me - Sunnyvale, California

The wife and I haven't been here since we first started dating 7+ years ago and this place hasn't changed a bit. Food quality of ramen was fantastic with flavorful broths. Right amount of spice in mine. Biggest plus was how well they did with our 1 year old. They brought out the high chair, plastic spoons and bowls for her to use without even asking. Very great service and bomb food. Will be returning. read more

My friend got the veggie ramen and I got the tonkotsu spicy. They give a generous portion of pork and the egg was cooked perfectly! We both enjoyed the restaurant and would come back read more

Went back for more. Tried the calamari this time and Tonkotsu ramen with black garlic on the side. Calamari was good. It's lightly coated with seasoned bread crumbs instead of the more common thicker batter coating. Really good. The dip was mayo based and also had a little kick to it. They go really well together. It's nice that they offer either half or dul size appetizer. The Tonkotsu broth seemed lighter than last time but still enjoyed it. I just addded the roasted garlic oil to taste throughout the meal vs mixing it all at once. Kakuna pork in the ramen was also consistent with taste,yummy slightly sweet which is complementary to the more savory broth. Still good, friendly staff. Ebi ramen still so consistently good. It's also nice that they close pretty late for the area. They close at 930pm. read more

tiny ramen at the sunnyvale downtown. ramen was served on a plastic bowl, i wish there was a ceramic bowl which can contain the heat better. i had today's special ramen ebi (shrimp ramen) - the soup was flavorful, not fishy, half-boiled egg was great (only one half egg, not two half egg per the menu picture), the shrimp was overcooked, it's hard to chew. tonkontsu ramen was okay, the pork meat is tender. two stars due to the excessive after-food thirstiness, I was so thirsty after the meal, wonder how much MSG was there in the soup. read more

Went to Ramen Seas for dinner on Mother's Day and was disappointed to learn that they no longer serve Shirataki noodles (the only reason I have been going because I need to cut carbs for health reasons). They also said Ramen Seas will become a new/different (Japanese) restaurant. I did eat a bit of their regular ramen (seafood) and found the soup was quite salty (it could just be me but it's too salty to be enjoyable). read more

First time here? You MUST try the black curry. It was exceptional. The service is lackluster there was only two workers on a Sunday afternoon. Need more hands on deck to serve, refill waters and check in on tables. The ambience was very millennial core. read more

Ramen Seas - Black curry - Ramen Near Me - Sunnyvale, California

On my quest to try every restaurant on Murphy street. I actually didn't get ramen or Japense curry here because I wasn't very hungry and I saw they offered these "mini bowls" option, so I got the pork belly and kimchi. These were the perfect size of meat, kimchi, and rice for a medium appetite. My friends reported the curry rice was delicious as well, so maybe another time when I'm more hungry. Logistics: - indoor seating for sure, I can't remember whether they had outdoor seating onto Murphy Avenue or not - Murphy is closed so you'll have to walk here but it's close by Sunnyvale Caltrain station or several parking lots read more

It a small restaurant with plenty of light. The service was good and fast. Both the veg and the shrimp ramen lacked flavor. It was not bad in taste but compared to other Ramen in the Bay Area I felt like it wasn't up to the mark. With that said my husband had the same ramen he had that night here a few weeks ago( veg curry ramen) and he found it to be delicious. Overall my 2 cents are that this place is a hit or a miss. read more

Located in downtown Sunnyvale - you may have some difficulty finding parking and may have to walk over a bit to get here! Interior is cozy and decorated - a bit small but they managed to get a lot of tables in there. We had no wait on a weekday dinner. Service was quick, attentive, and friendly. We ordered the clam and tonkotsu ramen. Clam ramen was very flavorful with a generous portion of clams. There is a good balance between the seafood and pork flavor of the broth. The noodles were cooked to al dente as well. I really enjoyed this and would recommend for anyone who likes seafood flavor with their ramen! The tonkotsu ramen fell slightly short. Their broth is on the lighter side but rich in good flavor. However, their meat was not flavored at all and tasted like bland thick chunks of stewed meat. Their eggs also didn't have much seasoning either - and most of all, it came very cold. read more

Came here for dinner on a weekday evening and it was empty. The staff was super friendly and helped me decide what to order. I went with the grilled veggie curry and the veggie curry ramen. The curry itself was tasty, though the broccoli and peppers felt too raw. The ramen was okay but the broth felt diluted and the noodles didn't soak up much of the flavor. Portions were on the smaller side for the price, so it didn't feel like the best deal. read more

Went on a cold rainy day to grab some warm ramen. Did not disappoint. Got the tonkotsu ramen with their homemade spice in it. It was very filling and tasty.

The wait staff is polite and service quick. Vibe is also good. read more

We visited this cozy ramen spot on a chilly Valentine's night around 8:30 PM. It wasn't too crowded at that hour, which made for a relaxed dining experience. The restaurant itself is quite small, with around 10 tables, and the staff--including both the servers and the host--were warm and welcoming. As a vegetarian, I had a couple of concerns. First, the limited vegetarian options--only two ramen choices and three vegetarian curries. Second, given the small space, the strong smell of fish and seafood was quite noticeable, which made it a bit uncomfortable at times. We ordered one of the vegetarian ramen options and a curry. The food arrived quickly, and from the very first bite of the curry, all my concerns faded--it was absolutely delicious! The ramen was flavorful as well, and the portions were generous. Even with just two dishes, we had leftovers to take home. Overall, it's a great ramen spot in Sunnyvale, but I'm giving it 4 stars due to the strong seafood smell inside. read more

I saw Ramen Seas after leaving Target the other day, so I decided to have dinner before hitting commute traffic. It's on the main hub with lots of other restaurants and free parking, so that's a definite plus! Ramen Seas is a casual looking spot with banquette seating, dark wood tables, chairs, and paneling. I must've been really hungry, because in addition to ordering ramen, I got 2 appetizers! Granted, I like to try a new Japanese restaurant's karaage chicken and agedashi tofu, but I don't necessarily get them all at the same time. ha ha! Anyhoo, it was nice that Ramen Seas had regular and half sized appetizers, so I didn't have to feel too bad about my order. The karaage chicken was juicy, and I liked that their agedashi tofu hit the spot. I was expecting to have my appetizers first and then my ramen, but they brought out everything pretty much at the same time. That timing meat my ramen wasn't piping hot when I was ready to eat, but it's not the end of the world. I ordered the Tonkotsu ramen which came with stewed pork belly. I'm glad my pieces were nice and fatty. The half egg was cooked perfectly. The broth tasted a little burnt but overall, I enjoyed my food. I'd come here again. Thanks, Ramen Seas! read more

We stopped in for a quick dinner before catching a movie! The ramen was a surprise hit with our group. The broth was creamy and flavorful! Noodles could have been a little better.

Overall I thought this was a good ramen spot! The wait staff was very nice and welcoming upon arrival. I got the half order of takoyaki (3 balls) and the tonkotsu ramen as-is. I love that they have a half size for the appetizers - it's perfect for when I'm dining by myself. The takoyaki was crispy on the outside and gooey on the inside as it should be! The tonkotsu ramen was also very good! The broth wasn't the most flavorful tonkotsu that I've had but everything else was great. The eggs and noodles were cooked perfectly (and I like that they give both halves of the egg). The pork wasn't your typical thinly sliced, fatty chasu, and texture wise reminded me more of a short rib, but it had a nice, almost sweet flavor and they gave a generous serving in the bowl! I thought the other toppings were proportioned well. I'm excited to come back and try something new! read more

Chance find walking around Murphy Avenue in Sunnyvale and of all the places on Murphy, we decided in this ramen place. We arrived shortly after it opened and we were seated immediately. The menu was simple--assorted appetizers, good ramen choices but also curry dishes and limited selection of mini donburi bowls. It's ramen/curry centered, so no sushi or teriyaki type meals. We ordered the takoyaki, tonkotosu ramen and a curry dish. However what particularly caught my eye and was very curious about their black curry--not a usual menu item. The black is not squid ink, but is made with activated charcoal (not sure what that meant)--so I took a chance. I paired it with creamy crab croquette (additional cost), it was surprisingly tasty. Be forewarned there is a little gritty aftertaste, but overall it was very nice and it went well with the crab croquettes. The takoyaki was surprisingly delicious. The texture was a little creamy and tasted nice--I would order it again. The tonokotsu was ordered for it to be spicy and it checked the box--it was also very flavorful. Our meal was reasonably priced at about $45 for 3 items. The service was good & our waiter was attentive. I am looking forward to returning. read more

Had lunch here with mini me. I ordered the special of the day, the Ebi ramen, and my mini me got the tonkatsu ramen. The egg in both bowls was hard-boiled, which was disappointing since most places serve a nice soft-boiled egg with ramen. The Ebi ramen had an interesting flavor, but it was a bit too oily for my taste. As for the tonkatsu, it was just okay. We've definitely had better elsewhere. Both ramens were on the salty side, which made the overall experience less enjoyable. What really surprised me was that they charge $1 for hot sauce. I get that it's homemade, but it still feels off not to include something like that with ramen. Ice water was the only thing that came free. Unfortunately, we won't be coming back. There are better ramen spots in the area that offer more balanced flavors and better value. read more

My official 100th review and no better way to do it eating one of my favorite cuisines - Ramen! For the last year, I've been on a fitness and health journey which includes cutting out/minimizing certain foods. As a result, I haven't eaten Ramen in over a year since there aren't many options that provide the gluten free noodles. I decided to search for places that offered shiraraki noodles and luckily I was able to locate this place! This place is a small and cozy spot located in downtown Sunnyvale. We got sat within a few minutes of walking in and it was relatively busy at the time. The menu was pretty straight forward and I was ready to get the party started. I ordered the Tonkatsu Ramen which appears to be their most popular bowl and decided to make it habanero hot for an extra $1. I also substituted the noodles for shirataki noodles for an extra charge. I was a bit hungry so I ordered a agedashi tofu as an app. The food took a bit to come out but when it did, it was piping hot and looked delicious. The broth was super flavorful and was happy to see the spiciness level was not unbearable. The shirataki noodles was surprisingly not too far off from a texture standpoint from traditional noodles and it was very satisfying. Everything else was on par including the pork pieces and eggs. Overall a very solid Ramen bowl! The agedashi tofu was pretty standard and was a great addition to the meal. The service was okay - got everything we needed - not overly friendly but got seated and our food on time. Will def come back to try the other ramen options. Huge plus for them to offer shirataki noodles!! read more

I love Ramen Seas. I grew up in the Central Valley and people would make their way here when visiting the Bay Area because they have Japanese chefs. They have lasted all these years because of their excellent flavors and great service. Their broth really hits the spot. It's a winning recipe. They have classic flavors with inventive takes, not to mention the portions are huge. The space is smaller than other and I think it adds to the flair of Japanese ramen shops. My favorite might be the clam ramen lately. The seafood in the ramen tastes so good. The broth is clean and packs so much flavor. I tried a lot of their sides recently, like gyoza and they are equally as good. The vibes and aesthetic here are perfect. No ramen no life! read more

Food: Solid 4.2. Went with the Tonkatsu, Karaage, & Fried Gyoza. The Tonkatsu was very flavorful. Beef was a bit chewy and the broth was just a bit too oily for my taste but everything was good though. The Karaage stole the show with its perfectly cooked chicken, lite batter, and crunchy crust. The Gyoza was just as tasty. Ambiance: Clean establishment with great customer service. I definitely recommend giving this place a try. Parking: There's plenty of nearby parking but expect a bit of a short walk. The street in the front is blocked off from vehicles but surrounding areas include street parking and parking lot parking. read more

Good value for the money for lunch. Portion sizes are large. The broth isn't top-tier like those other ramen places with hours-long waits (it's oily for my taste), but this is a solid place where I would go if I wanted noodle soup. Takoyaki was okay. It was not bad but also not great. I probably wouldn't order it again. read more

Ramen Seas has been around for a while, which I tried out years ago. It is located in Downtown Sunnyvale. They are well known for their seafood broth and seafood ramen. Though, I recently stopped in and noticed that their menu had changed a bit. The service was nice and friendly. He politely squeezed me in as they were closing and asked if I could eat quickly. Though he did not rush me. The ambiance was nice, and Japanese house music was playing in the background. I ordered the... Tonkotsu Ramen: Pork bone broth, nori, kakuni pork, egg, spinach, kikurage mushroom, green onions (3.5/5). The broth was rich and fatty. You could see the fat in the broth. Personally, I wished they had strained that out. But otherwise, you could tell that it was cooked for hours. The noodles had a nice bounce and chewiness to them. They give you 1 1/2 eggs, but the yolk wasn't runny and creamy. But marinated like tea eggs, possibly. The pork was tender. Overall, it was a good bowl of ramen, and I'm glad I got a chance to visit with them again. read more

New spot for the SO to get ramen. Ordered on DoorDash and got edamame, seafood ramen and an order of takoyaki. Everything was neatly stacked and nothing spilled on the ride home.

It's been awhile since I've been here. I usually order the tonkatsu ramen. For something different, I ordered the agedashi tofu & fried oysters. It was a normal batch of agedashi tofu and standard fried oysters . They were both good. My son liked his katsu curry. The katsu was still crunchy and had the house curry sauce. The Karaage Don had crunchy chicken and hot rice. One friendly waiter and two helpers, out front. It's a small cozy place. It was good. We may come back. read more

Ordered from this eatery this past Saturday during the Jazz and Beyond weekly summer event. The restaurant was clean and casual with simple, charming decor. The staff was super friendly and helpful, and patient as I examined the menu and made my selection for takeout (to eat at the outdoor event tables on Historic Murphy Avenue). The wait for my order was about 10 minutes, and utensils and napkins were packed neatly in the bag which I appreciated. The seafood ramen was yummy, lots of generous toppings (clams, scallops, shrimp, mushroom, nori, green onion), the broth not salty, and served piping hot in the sturdy to-go container for me to mix myself. I really enjoyed this, and even better, I got to eat this dish while listening to awesome live music and relishing the pleasant summer weather. It was a good day :) read more

Was very pleasantly surprised by how good this place was! My kids like to take Caltrain so we've been trying different restaurants in Sunnyvale and this was next on the list. We got there around opening time on a Saturday and we were seated right away and were able to place our orders quickly. My young kids shared a tonkatsu ramen while my wife and I shared a katsu curry rice and a tonkatsu ramen as well. Both were very flavorful and had decent quantity. Surprisingly our fave item of the meal were the really delicious onigiri! They were perfectly browned and had a wonderful light savory flavor. We would come here just for the onigiri!

I hope to try another ramen dish when I come back. Hope you can all try ramen seas! read more
