Saw all the reviews , and I felt like it was a challenge to come see for my self if it's that good as the reviews say. When I came in I was greeted and welcomed . At the first look at the menu you can see that they have different variety of food types . They don't really focus on ramen . The menu only had about 5-7 ramen soups . I got the Tonkotsu , the soup didn't look very appetizing. The soup didn't have much flavor the pork belly was over cooked. And it had some kind of onion or some type of grass that ruined the noddles texture . I really don't see why this place has so many good reviews . But maybe next time illl try something different that will change my mind . For now I am very disappointed with their ramen read more

Great food. Great service! The low mein was on the salty side but every other dish my family ordered was so great. We will definitely be back read more

The black bean ramen is amazing, so much flavor!!!! My husband and I eat here at least one a month and the customer service is wonderful and everyone is so nice at this how location. My husband always gets the sesame chicken with fried rice and it is his all time favorite, the appetizers are good as well. Will always recommend this to others when they visit pasade read more

The ramen needed some salt, but the sushi was amazing! We tried the Tonkatsu and veggie ramen.

Sushi was okay. Service was excellent. I will definitely think about giving it another try later on in the future.

Was getting my eyes checked next door at Pearle Vision, and saw that there was a new resturaunt called Ramen San and figured I should give this a place a try. It's absolutely stunning inside, you wouldn't believe that this place used to be a Starbucks. Service was pleasant and there's hand sanitizer at the front. Ordered the takoyaki, and the texture was amazing. Lightly crisp on the outside, fluffy on the inside, however, a little plain on flavor. They definitely needed to add more sauce. The yummy chasu bun was not what I was expecting, but it was decent. Not dry, and steaming hot. The chicken yakitori had good flavor, and one stick was cooked perfectly, while the other one was extremely burnt, so it was disappointing that they were consistent with this dish. I also tried out their birdie roll and I will say the rice was fried perfectly, but again there was no flavor. All I could really taste was crispy rice and nothing else unfortunately. The tonkostu ramen broth was actually really good, very light and not too salty. The texture of the noodles was a little too soft for my liking, but I did enjoy the slices of chasu. It was done beautiful and had a nice char to it. The boiled egg was over done and not yolky how I'm used to seeing it at ramen places. Overall, this place alright, but would come again to try out other dishes on their menu. read more

If I could give a better review I would. First off the place is so neatly organized and the ambiance is so inviting. We were serviced by what seemed like the owner and he was so nice to us, the food was prepared so well not only did it taste good it looked really good. The food was surprisingly good, I totally recommend the chicken wings Appetizer. The owner was always attentive to what we needed and at the end of our meal he gave us two lollipops. Will be coming back read more

I really hate to leave 2 stars but I feel it's fair. I stopped in for lunch & was not greeted instead a girl on the phone looked at me & held up 2 fingers, as she continued her phone conversation, asking if it was only going to be 2 people. I said yes & she pointed to a table i Could sit at. Still never saying a word to me but continuing on the phone. A second girl came to get our order & was very sweet. The food was very mediocre. It was my first time having ramen from a restaurant & honestly the broth was not very tasty. I asked for siracha & they informed me they did not have siracha but the restaurant across the street did. I was very confused by that answer so I just asked for something spicy & they gave me a dry seasoning. I only had a few bites & left it. The appetizers we ordered were pretty good. That being said I might give them another try & hopefully they can work on their professionalism & customer service read more

I love Ramen San! The staff are the nicest people, and are very attentive. I always get the curry spicy miso ramen which comes with fried chicken, my hubby loves the miso, and my son always gets the Korean ramen. The crab sticks and chashu buns are pretty amazing as well. We've been here probably 5 times in the past two months. I legit could live off this place. Highly recommend for a ramen fix, the sushi is excellent too. Come in a few times and the waitstaff will remember you. Just always a great experience! read more

The atmosphere is nice! Service is good. We got the Curry Ramen and it was delishes!

So I was warned about this place and still tried to give it a fighting chance. We had ramen, sushi and appetizers and here you. . . We arrived and the lady that sat us was horribly rude and (what I think) her daughter tops the cake. They argued and paced around, the tween eye rolled and slammed the door while FaceTimed her friends and was apparently sick. Rain has NO flavor and the color was off not too mention an odd super fishy smell. Shaggy dog roll was horrible and thought that was one roll you can't mess up. I was mistaken. Gyoza was fine and so was edamame so easy going down. The two stars was because after all that the man who ran around was super nice trying to take care of everyone. read more

I took my grandmother here after a day of shopping and she absolutely loved it! She isn't the easiest to please but we really enjoyed our quiet lunch. We're very appreciative of our attentive waitress and food was delicious 10/10 recommend read more

The service was friendly and kind! They brought our food out so quickly. Because of my dietary restrictions I couldn't eat the noodles but they allowed me to just get a bowl of broth with toppings, it was delicious! read more

Was so excited to try a new ramen place but was let down. I ordered the tonkotsu ramen with extra noodles and chashu and an order of the chasu buns. The buns were around $6 for two which wasn't bad but they were so dry and barely had any meat in them. The ramen was looked so yummy but it was so watered down? There was barely any flavor even after adding chilly oil! The pork pieces were also the driest I've ever had with any ramen. Overall I was disappointed but at least I was full. I'd love to give the sushi a chance next time, hopefully the experience is better. read more

This place is great! I came here with my fiance, this place being the first restaurant we dined at since we moved to Pasadena, and the food was fantastic! Delicious ramen and mochi ice cream (picture below), our waitress was very timely with our orders, and all the staff were wearing masks and safely going about their jobs during covid-time. They were also very friendly. Highly recommend! read more

Small cute ramen place just the ppl that work there were so rude. They kept giving me and my family weird looks, then started talking about us not knowing I understand them. Asked for a glass of water.... It tasted dirty and had something floating in it. Told our waitress she took the water and never gave me another. Food wasn't the best but to be honest I didn't feel safe eating after the way they were talking about us. Would not go there again. read more

Amazing food, service, and love the atmosphere. 10 out of 10. Had take out and dined in. Both are awesome.

Ramen San recently opened near me on June 28th. I had been eagerly anticipating this opening as I have been looking for a Ramen restaurant without having to drive 30-40 minutes to Jinya in Webster. I tried another Ramen bar located on Spencer near San Jacinto college and was not impressed. Ramen San's broth was full of flavor! I ordered the Tonkotsu with medium spice and that was enough for me! Thankfully they put the sauce on the side so I could add as much to my liking and pain threshold. We also ordered a few of their sushi rolls and the Pasadena roll is definitely a favorite! Most of their rolls are lightly fried, but you can ask them not to fry it. Since dining in a few days after they opened, we have since ordered to-go twice in one week. If you've been looking for a Ramen place closer to home (Pasadena/Deer Park/La Porte) area, I highly recommend Ramen San! read more

Had the Pasadena roll and spicy miso ramen. Pasadena roll was good for the price. Favorite was the miso ramen though. Would come back again

This place was pretty decent for Pasadena. I didn't like the sushi since I prefer sashimi over deep fried rolls but the ramen was decent. Definitely better than eating ramen from the cup so I will be back. Gotta support small businesses during these hard times! read more

Had a birthday dinner there for my son with 14 family members. The food was amazing and the service was perfect!

Not gonna lie, this place hit!! great service and the food was... Well try it for yourself, you won't regret it

First of all let's get this out of the way. Ramen is so much better than pho. That being said. This places goes hard in the paint. The tonkatsu was amazing. The shaggy dog and dynamite rolls were great. I would leave out the cream cheese for myself next time, just as a preference. The fried crab sticks were great as well. This was our first time here and we will definitely be coming back. The staff was friendly and efficient. Couldn't ask for more. read more

Dinned in twice both times we were the only ones in restaurant which gave me peace of mind with everything that's going on with COVID. Workers follow all safety guidelines. I feel like not a lot of people know about this place but THEY SHOULD, the food is great!!!! I've tried the ramen, Orange chicken, chasu buns, egg rolls, and the dynamite roll (sushi). Have ordered carry out as well and food is always in good shape!! LOOOOOOVVEEEEE COMING HERE. read more
