Ramen Taka

Ramen broth was flavorless! Tried the Vegan ramen, and didn't like it at all. It was average, at best. Tofu had zero seasoning -- totally bland! I read reviews here before trying the place, and most reviews spoke very well about the broth. I'm not sure if the day I visited was an exception, but no spice/seasoning on most veggies + bland broth was honestly not the combination I enjoyed. Service and ambience were amazing. Parking can be a little challenging.

I really liked this ramen spot; it was open and airy, creating a comfortable and relaxing atmosphere, which is pretty rare for a ramen shop. I ordered Veggi-Ramen. The broth was light and clear, yet surprisingly, it had a flavor that reminded me of authentic tonkotsu soup. The limited-time "Hell Ramen" was so spicy that it's perfect if you're up for a ramen challenge. The crispy karaage and the edamame in garlic soy sauce were also good. The ramen here wasn’t overly salty, and I found it more balanced than at other ramen shops. The staff were polite and attentive too.

Taka Ramen in San Jose is a true standout for Japanese comfort food. We started with the seasoned edamame—simple yet addictive—and perfectly crispy gyoza with a flavorful filling. The Tonkotsu ramen stole the show with its rich, creamy broth, tender pork, and perfectly chewy noodles. The Katsu Curry Chicken was equally impressive, featuring a crispy cutlet paired with fragrant curry over rice. On top of the incredible food, the service was second to none, with attentive servers and a warm, welcoming staff that made the experience even more enjoyable. Taka Ramen is a must-visit for any ramen lover!

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.

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.

Was craving a bowl of ramen for some reason, decided to try this place out, glad I did. Ramen is good, meaning I'd come back here for ramen. They also some other dishes I also would try later, like croquettes and curry, good gyosa, a tonkatsu curry dish. Definitely deserves a return visit.

The food here is really great and flavorful. The waitress was attentive and helpful. I was surprised that drinks were served in plastic disposable containers at a restaurant. It is wasteful to do that. Also the bathroom wasn't very clean.

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.
