"Esteemed ramen chef Masayasu Sakaguchi deemed San Mateo worthy of his first ramen outpost in the United States. Then in spring 2022, the restaurateur decided the former Mau space on Valencia Street was right for a second location. Nakano-style tsukemen, cold ramen noodles that are dipped into hot broth, remain the main draw." - Dianne de Guzman, Eater Staff
