Ramen ParlorB+

901 S B St, San Mateo, CA 94401 · Ramen restaurant, Restaurant · San Mateo

Creative ramen with lobster-garlic broths and soft-shell crab shines in a lively, compact space; expect short waits, fast service, and solid value with a few consistency and policy complaints.

Why this grade

Ramen Parlor delivers solid neighborhood dining through strong food quality anchored by signature lobster-garlic and spicy miso broths, paired with attentive, efficient service that handles rush periods well. Consistency gaps—occasional oversalted broths and texture issues—prevent a higher grade, while the compact, functional space lacks the ambiance or destination appeal that would elevate it further. A reliable choice for quality ramen at fair value, competitive with the area's better casual dining spots.

One caveat: Karaage can arrive soggy when sauce sits underneath; ask for sauce on the side
