Super yummy food! I was so happy with my meal tonight. They had delicious grilled saba fish and it was a good portion! My friend and I were super impressed. The ambiance is chill, clean and simple. The service was good and Im definitely going back since the location is convenient. Im glad I found this place! I want to try the ramen & sushi.

Came here to grab a light lunch midweek last week and chose the chicken katsu with California Rolls. Prices are reasonable and it was not busy arriving around 12:45. Service was attentive for our party of 3.

The after I should have taken the rice home Opps

Came in for lunch today, the Chirashi and sashimi lunch deal was the same price, so I asked what the difference was between the two , apparently the Chairashi came with thinner slices of fish, both chef's choice and both came with sushi rice. Had a large hot sake too. With tax and tip for the food and drink $40. Came with soup and salad. Filled my need for that sushi need!!! Thank you.

Spicy Miso Ramen
Supar K.

Solid offerings starting with the Spicy Miso Ramen. The thin noodles are cooked perfectly, and the broth delivers a good kick for spice lovers. Beyond ramen, the menu provides nice variety with sushi and lunch bento options available. Clean and functional. The space is well-suited for groups, accommodating up to 15 seats, making it a practical choice for casual gatherings. Fast and professional. The staff operates efficiently, ensuring you get your food promptly without feeling rushed. Tom San Ramen is a reliable spot for quick, satisfying meals. Whether you are grabbing a spicy ramen fix or dining with a group, the combination of efficient service and a clean environment makes for a solid experience.

Takeout Lunch Sushi Nigiri (miso soup not pictured)
Michelle C.

Despite the name, I've never actually had ramen here. This is my go-to to-go lunch sushi place and I live maybe at most 7 min away. The lunch-only special is only $23 ($25+ tax), and it comes with 7 pieces of nigiri, 6 pieces of a california roll, a miso soup, and a side salad. I don't know of a better deal anywhere. I've been going for probably close to 2 years and the quality is always great, and I get takeout probably at least 2-3x a month. I am honestly contemplating giving Tom Sam Ramen a glass reusable container since I order so often there but haven't done so yet to reduce waste. I prefer the sushi nigiri special more than the sashimi special because there are more kinds of fish. Sashimi includes very thick pieces of fish, but they were maybe only 4 kinds repeated. Pros: - Great prices, especially for lunch - Omakase sashimi (anytime) is also a great deal at $38 for 9 pieces - Combos are also well priced Cons: - They are now on DoorDash, but none of the lunch specials are on the menu - There are no dinner specials for nigiri (only sashimi) - womp womp for me - Parking can be hard - it's on a strip and parking is often full in front. There is parking behind the strip, otherwise you'll need to park around the neighborhood or in the Home Depot parking lot close by. - Rolls are on the average/higher side like most places

Ok at this point, this is a note to my future self. Tonight we dined at Tom San Ramen, and enjoyed the Melt-In-Your-Mouth Roll as usual. I really want to try the other rolls but without fail, I always end up choosing the same roll. Welp. The boo got the chicken teriyaki entree that comes with salad, miso, and rice at about $15. We shared the following: Soft Shell Crab at $10, 1/5* I'd pass on this unless you're getting spicy ramen maybe. Idk. I don't like the breading. It's fried too thick, if you know what I mean... I like my soft shell crab a bit light and you know...soft. Ama Ebi with fried head at $13, 2/5 The fried head was meaty and delicious. The raw part was not it, which sucked because I really love how sweet ama ebi can be. Seared Toro with Uni at $15, 2/5* I really wanted to love this, but also a bit fishy, could barely taste the Uni. I would've gotten the Santa Barbara Uni nigiri, but it was about $27. Maybe next time, but still!! Lol. Madai at $9, 3/5* I don't usually order red snapper. It was refreshing and I liked the texture. Salmon Toro at $9, 3/5* I loved the fish to rice ratio here. It was the nigiri I started with which set the precedent. As a result, the rest of the nigiri were mostly a let down (sadly). Now onto the service, 10/10! They were really on top of it. Plates/trash cleared, drinks always topped off, checked in on several times, gave recs, showed many thanks, and even offered an extra table since ours was getting cramped. The speedy and courteous service alone bumped up the 3.5 rating to 4 stars. If I had to recommend what to get, go with a ramen, the melt in your mouth roll, and tempura. I really wanted to like the special menu offerings, but idk. Now that I think about it--given the price point, I probably should've just gotten the Omakase. T.T What the helly... Oh well. Next time.

Tom san Karen is one of my favorite sushi restaurants The omakase is a great deal at only $38, and the sashimi is incredibly fresh. My kids also love their ramen and the unagi rice bowl.

Truffle ramen, teriyaki salmon, rock and roll
Ali F.

3.5. Despite the restaurant's name, they don't just serve ramen. It's basically a Japanese restaurant. No issues getting a seat on a weekend evening and I like that they close a little later at 9:30pm. The teriyaki salmon was good. Rock and roll was great. As for the truffle ramen, it sounded better than it tasted. I really didn't understand the flavor profile as it had a fishy flavor and not a truffle flavor. The soft boiled egg was good though. The noodles are thin. I wouldn't order the "truffle" again.

Truffle ramen
Anna Y.

Came in for dinner and tried their truffle ramen and was pleasantly surprised. The broth was light, clear and full of truffle flavor without being overwhelming. The thinly sliced chashu stood out since most ramen spots serve thicker cuts, but I preferred the thinner slice and it was really good. They included an ankimo on top which I thought was so unique and paired well with the jammy egg yolk. The portion size was also perfect. Would recommend.

Why have I waited this long to try this spot!? I'm absolutely mind blown by this spot! I finally went with my friend! Here's what I noticed Food: $38 omakase!? Yes, please!!! The 9 pieces sashimi are UNBELIEVABLY DELICIOUS! It's super fresh too! You also get a bowl of seasoned rice along with the Omakase order. My friend and I split the omakase. We also ordered SpicY Tonkatsu Ramen and Grilled Salmon Bento. The tonkatsu was for myself and the Salmon Bento was my friend's. The broth is flavorful but isn't spicy enough for me and the ramen noodles could use a bit longer time cooking. I do like the jammy egg halves as well as how the pork slices melted like butter ! My friend loved the grilled salmon and it has good balance of flavors, as well as the glaze enhanced the crispiness of the salmon's skin. Overall, food's delicious and flavorful Services: they're quite attentive and make sure our tea cups are always filled. Ordering is also a breeze as they put orders into their iPads. Ambiance: it's a casual dining experience yet also a potential spot to impress your friends/ crushes! Music wasn't too loud and you have ample opportunities to really enjoy yourself! Overall, if you're in a market for good food that won't break your bank, this place is worth a visit! Pro-Tip: you might want to park at the Westlake Shopping Center and walk. Parking isn't the best around there as many people are there to try other spots next to this restaurant

Wow, this place is sad. Beef that is chewing and as tough as any dog toy. Prices that are similar to downtown SF, but lacking the quality or the ambiance. This bento was bad. Like I said the beef was awful. Rice was old. Salad was meh, the only edible thing was the tempura. My melt in mouth roll with spicy tuna ans inagi was a whopping $18 for a small roll that had lukewarm rice and fish. Rice should never be falling apart and fish should be cold and unagi should be hot/warm....this roll was a mess. My coworkers Lion King roll was just as sad, she said she only ate it because she was hungry. Her cucumber salad was awful. 2.5 stars rounded up since I feel bad for this small business.

Truffle ramen
Sheila E.

No wait on a Friday night on Valentines weekend. Service was fast and omakase was a great deal. I was pleasantly surprised at how big the sashimi pieces were. It came with sushi rice on the side. Everything was pretty good except for the hotate. It was a little chewy and not as sweet as others I've had. Still a great deal and I wouldn't mind getting it again. We had to flag someone down to ask what we were eating as it wasn't explained when it was served. Also tried the truffle ramen. I think the meat was chicken instead of pork. They were very thinly sliced and came with 3 pieces. It wasn't really memorable. The eggs were perfectly cooked but felt it could be marinated longer. You could definitely taste the truffle in the broth though. I wouldn't mind getting it again but would probably try something else next time.

bento box
Melissa C.

went on Father's Day and to my surprised was seated right away! i was so excited to try this spot since my father-in-law have been raving about it. Let's first talk about how reasonable the pricing is! For chirashi during lunch time, it's about $21! You get all different types of sashimi and it's over sushi rice. You can taste how fresh the fish is and on the plus side, the wasabi is the real deal! I ordered the bento box with salmon teriyaki + sashimi, which I forgot to take a photo of. The 4 piece sashimi were thick cuts, the salmon teriyaki was on the slightly fishy side, but the portions for what you pay for is worth it. I definitely will come again to try their other items! I saw they had omakase!

Stopped by Yoshi in Serramonte and had a really good experience…read more I ordered the chirashi bowl with a large hot sake, and my mom got a Sapporo. The chirashi bowl was so good, and they were generous with the sashimi. The pieces were thick and fresh, which made it feel worth ordering. Shoutout to our server, Gunwoo, who was super friendly and helpful with the menu. He made the whole experience even better. There was also a good crowd watching the World Cup, so the restaurant had a fun, welcoming energy. I also liked the Japanese-themed interior and the music playing in the background. It all came together really nicely. Definitely planning on coming back for lunch since I saw they have some pretty good lunch specials.

I wanted to like Yoshi more, but the service and food were both pretty underwhelming…read more I asked for water three times and didn't get it until I was basically done with my whole meal. The atmosphere is kind of funny though. It feels very Filipino underneath everything, but they're trying to cover it up with Japanese music Honestly, that amused me enough to give them an extra star. But please get a music subscription. Hearing ads playing inside a restaurant in 2026 is wild. Food-wise, it was barely mid. We ordered the Yoshi Tonkatsu Deluxe, and it just wasn't it. The broth lowkey tasted like instant ramen with some vegetables added in. It wasn't terrible, and the price is pretty cheap, so I can't complain too much. But the broth really needed more flavor and depth. Cheap and filling, sure. Just don't come expecting anything amazing.

Of course, the premium items like the sweet shrimp sushi were amazing, but even the simpler dishes really impressed me.

It was incredibly tender with such a nice texture, probably one of my favorites of the meal. The grilled hamachi was also perfectly cooked and so moist and flavorful.

If you go on the weekend, there definitely will be a quite a some wait time. Conveyor belt food is always fun for any age group. Able to grab items you want though as soon as you seat down. Unfortunately, the some conveyor belt items were not too popular. Luckily, you can order specific items and hot items from the computer screen. The most expensive raw fish, toro at $8.10 was disappointing, terrible cut and was slimy. The hamachi ($4.10) is great value and good cut. The rolls were okay, not many variety. Udon tasted better than the ramen. Overall, some items are generous, but the quality for items can taste better. Just be careful since you do get charge for any plate you pick up.

Conveniently situated across the way from the Ranch 99 Market. They're open late nights Friday and Saturday. MR's space is a mutely lit oblong space that opens from outside the plaza to inside the plaza. In for a quick lunch, greeted immediately and seated right away. Served hot tea that was bit bland and a small complimentary dish of house pickled veggies. I was here try their OKONOMIYAKI and also their BLACK GARLIC RAMEN. Both dishes arrived piping hot. OKONOMIYAKI, Seafood & Veggies, is a savory Osaka Japanese-style seafood pancake, topped with Kewpie Doll mayo, Okonomiyaki sauce and bonito flakes. This could be a meal in its own with its serving portion. The pancake was chock full of fish, squid or tako, shrimp and bits of cabbage, garnished w/dancing bonito flakes. Flavors were there but the Okonomiyaki seemed a bit flat for me. But it's a favorite to have with friends over beers. You can also amp the Okonomiyaki topped with stir fried noodles and an egg, Modern-Yaki. BLACK GARLICS RAMEN, usually served w/roasted black garlic, sliced roasted pork, half an egg, bamboo stems, black fungus, chili threads, garnished w/green onions in a pork flavored soup. While piping hot, soup was good, it was okay, but not enough black garlic! MAJIKKU RAMEN's menu also has sushi, udon, appetizers. A place to try for their OKONOMIYAKI and appetizers especially with late night hours on Friday and Saturday nights!

They have a menu that goes beyond just your typical noodle soups - items ranging from Malaysian‑style curry laksa, spicy roasted duck ramen, to XO sauce dry noodles! We tried a few things and everything felt fresh and satisfying. The house special curry laksa had a rich, creamy broth with just the right amount of spice, and the duck dishes were especially good with tender meat and savory sauces that clung perfectly to the noodles. The small bites like spring rolls and dumplings were nice starters for our group of 4. The service was friendly and quick, with generous portions - exactly the spot we were looking for! I'll be coming back to try even more off the menu next time.

If you're into affordability, generous portions, high quality noodles, and great service, I highly recommend checking this spot out. Try it out if you like. :)
