Ramen Taka 2219 The Alameda, Santa Clara, CA 95050

"Awful quality control at this place imagine paying over 14 for ramen that barely has any meat maybe like a 2 inch piece that looks like the fat cut off the real chasu. The added bonus is that it didn't even come with the spicy add I ordered that added to the cost... SUCH A RIP OFF!!!"

"I got the tonkotsu shoyu ramen. I thought the chasu was a bit thin and dry. The appetizers (gyoza, tofu, and takoyaki) were good though"

"I was craving some ramen but unfortunately this place missed the mark. Service was remarkable. The ambience and seating area were decent as well. The best item here was the wontons. Deliciously seared on the outside and a good amount of meat inside. There was so little of the sauce to dip it. I was disappointed in that. Water and tea were complimentary. However the tea has a pungent scent to it. I was unable to drink it. The edamame was not edible either. I did mention it to my server but nothing was done. I ate one and left the bowl completely full otherwise. Broth on the ramen didn’t have much flavor. The bamboo had a strange scent as well. I took them all out to enjoy then ramen. Large size bowl even for the regular meal. It has plenty of veggies and a few slices of pork in it. It’s very colorful and it was crispy. Ramen noodles didn’t taste fresh and were undercooked. Egg was completely unflavored and it was $1.50 extra. Ordering was thru a QR code. I think we are past that now. It does integrate with their ordering system to send tickets to the kitchen. I didn’t get asked if I wanted dessert before I was brought the bill. I think this is a bad assumption. Overall I think this place has potential but could use some refinement. Music is too loud. Time to be seated 5/5 Time to be acknowledged 5/5 Customer service 5/5 Parking 1/5 - very limited"

"Black pepper Karaage, Katsu Curry and Taka Ramen were all good. The black pepper Karaage was drizzled with a sweet, salty, sour sauce. Curry gravy on Katsu has some sweetness to it with mild curry flavor which was great because the curry tastes is not overpowering. Katsu had crispy panko coating. The ramen has more of a soy sauce flavor compared to other ramen I've had. Small free parking lot behind the restaurant. Attentive staff. Food came out quickly."

"These ramen are the best I've ever had in this area and almost authentic Japanese ramen. The cost is not that expensive. The restaurant staff are really polite and friendly. I felt comfortable to be here. I want to come here again."
