“Perfect atmosphere, great service.”

Just had dinner at this spot. I ordered the Corn Wings, Takoyaki, and the Original Ramen. Everything was insanely good. The ramen especially — super rich, creamy broth, really good chicken, and all the toppings were on point. Honestly, probably the best ramen I’ve had so far. The Takoyaki were solid, nothing crazy, but tasty. The Corn Wings were something new for me — really interesting and definitely worth trying. The place has a really authentic vibe, and the staff is great. Totally recommend checking it out.

We came at 6pm on a long weekend Sunday. It was incredible. The service was quick and the food came quickly. Got the enoki chips and nori calamari. Enoki chips were so crispy. Nori calamari squid tasted very fresh. It was all tentacles and good crunch with spicy mayo. We got the Ginja and Blaze Toripaitan Ramen. The broth was rich and thick and savory and coated the ramen. The egg was perfection. Meat was fall apart. The noodles really shone since they were bouncy and fresh. Atmosphere was really lovely. Love the information about umami chemistry on the walls.

I can honestly say this is the best ramen I’ve had in the Bay Area better than the highly rated ramen spots in Japantown in San Francisco, and I’ve eaten there multiple times. Menya Shono is on another level. I usually order the G.K.O. Ramen (garlic knock-out) with the egg and chili oil on the side, and it’s incredible every time. The broth is extremely rich, creamy, and full of deep garlic flavor without being overly heavy. Adding the chili oil gives it the perfect kick. The noodles are always cooked perfectly, and the pork and toppings are high quality. I eat here at least once a week beca

We absolutely love this place, the food is beyond par and there's a great deal of attention and care in the service. Their ramens are incredible, I always get the GKO. Super flavorful, rich, incredible broths. Other highlights are deshutes on tap, the chashu pork rice, deep fried corn ribs, and edamame. Any negative reviews you see mostly stem from them being slightly understaffed, and honestly who isn't these days. We've never suffered a long wait or lapse in quality of service. As long as they are open, they can take my money.
