Chonmage Japanese Restaurant

Good atmosphere. Food is alright. The curry was watery and they barely put any curry on the plate. The vegetables tasted like they were sitting out for a while. More expensive than the quality served.

Absolutely loved this place! The food was incredibly fresh and beautifully presented. The tempura shrimp was perfectly crispy and light, and the noodles paired with the egg yolk and toppings were full of flavor. Every ingredient tasted high quality and well balanced. The small side dishes were also a nice touch and complemented the meal perfectly. The atmosphere was cozy and the service was friendly and attentive. Definitely a spot I would come back to again. Highly recommend if you're looking for authentic and delicious Japanese food!

Because of an hour-plus train to wait for, I had my lunch here as opposed to going home. Just so happened, it was a pleasant gentle sunny day in September. The price is cheaper than fair. I had the tofu small bite. I enjoyed my outdoor seating by a decent fence for bike locking. That tofu was delicious. I have to ding a star for one has to ask for a menu in this typically menu-display location. I learned that from the time-consuming customer in front of me and for that customer’s order to be completed before I can place mine. It still is my new recommendation for a Downtown San Rafael biking lunch.

The staff here are just absolutely lovely and so friendly. They really made us feel so comfortable and welcome throughout our meal. The space itself is incredibly cozy and spotlessly clean, giving off a wonderful Japanese vibe. I was absolutely thrilled with my order – the spicy miso tonkotsu ramen was out of this world delicious! The richness, the perfect level of spice, it was all so incredibly satisfying, and the portion size was very generous. My friends all raved about their dishes too. We'll definitely be back again!

OMG yum!! I ordered the spicy miso tonkatsu and added corn and substituted the ramen for udon. I made the perfect choice😍 This place blew my mind! Usually I go to San Francisco so my udon fix, but Chonmage exceeded my expectations, and gave me everything I wanted and then some! I always expect the ramen places to be mid tier, compared to some of the 5 star places I’ve been to. This place is my new go to ramen spot in Marin :) The broth was rich with umami and seasoned perfectly. The staff is so warm and friendly, and the chef even came out and said hi! I love this spot and will be here very often :)
