Ramen Taka

Ramen Taka near Santa Clara University is one of those dependable ramen spots that delivers when it counts. Street parking can be tough, especially when the nearby shops are busy. There’s a small shared parking lot shaped like an “L,” but if you drive all the way in and it’s full, you’ll have to reverse your way out—so enter with caution. Once inside, though, things move smoothly. Service is quick and friendly, and more importantly, the food comes out fast. I stick with the tonkotsu ramen and karaage—both are solid favorites. The broth is rich and flavorful without being overwhelming, and the noodles have a great texture. Someone else ordered a tofu ramen, which I don’t currently see on the menu, so maybe it was a special that day. Overall, yummy all around and a reliable go-to when the

We ordered different kinds of ramen, and they all tasted pretty good. The prices seemed reasonable at first, but when I checked the bill, I noticed a 20% gratuity was automatically added plus a blank line for extra tips. I accidentally paid almost 40% in tips and had to go back to get it corrected. No wonder there aren’t many customers. No matter how tasty the food is, I wouldn’t come back because of that policy. Parking is also limited and usually packed, so it’s best to come early if you want a spot.

Very solid ramen place. The food was so tempting that I started to dig in before remembering to snap a pic lol Edit: went again. Still delicious

I like ramen and was craving the Tonkotsu here. I have gotten this a few times and it always hit the spot. I'm also glad it's walking distance from my work. Service has always been awesome here. The only thing i don't like is they blast their AC. It's so cold in here, I'm not sure why the AC is blowing up but i should be grateful. It's better than no AC. It does get busy on a Friday lunch so prepare to wait a few minutes but the line moves fast.

Amazing place for ramen and to come and relax with your friends. It's a dim lit room that's really relaxing to your eyes. It's really easy to order whatever you want. I got the ramen. It was delicious. I enjoyed the chicken broth and the pork meat. It was all delicious, especially the noodles. They were fresh. If you enjoy spicy, you can get some chili spicy paste and mix it with the broth. It would be really enjoyable to eat it. Highly recommend. Would come again to try more ramen.
