"We love ramen and have tried many places all over the bay area and just happened to stumble onto this nice little ramen shop when our usual spot was closed for renovations. This place has now become our main ramen place that we've been going to for the last 6yrs or so. The owner literally watched my son grow from months old to 5yrs now. We've tried pretty much all the items on the menu but our favorite has always been the black ramen with a side of extra spicy sauce. Our son is a relatively picky eater but he loves the ramen here and will devour the Ikageso (fried squid) and Chashu don. When we're craving for ramen, this place just hits the spot every time for us. Highly recommended!"

So good! Had the Ramen with tofu on the side for lunch and it was delicious! Enjoyed my leftover soup even more that evening! Will definitely be one of my Ramen stops going forward.

I stumbled upon this adorable ramen spot while heading home from the airport. The Totoro-themed decor throughout the restaurant was charming, and the food was incredibly tasty. The ordering system was user-friendly, and the service was fast and efficient. I highly recommend checking out this place if you're in the area!

My bf and I stumbled across this restaurant in the area and decided to try their king curry and tonkatsu ramen!! Hard to find best of both worlds in one place but this is a definite must! The service is very nice! There was a cute little iPad that you can use to submit orders and the ambiance is great as well! Very chill and spacious View menu

The ramen was very flavorful! They had a little iPad so you could order exactly what you wanted, which I loved! It made the process of ordering and getting your food so much quicker. The restaurant itself was fairly quiet, which I also liked, and if you had any questions they had two waiters walking around. Overall, great experience!

The ramen at this restaurant was delicious! I particularly enjoyed the flavorful broth and generous toppings. I decided to add extra fried tofu to my ramen, which was a nice touch. I appreciated the convenience of being able to interact with the waiter or order through a tablet. The totoro theme added a charming touch to the overall dining experience.

Each table has its tablet to order from so not much service is needed. The black garlic ramen broth was rich and creamy without being too salty. The soft boiled egg was prepped right and not cold like many other restaurants. The noodle wasn't the best and lack texture but overall the ramen was good. Parking is plenty. The inside was clean with the Totoro theme which is cool and brings back childhood memories. View menu

I had a great experience at Totoro Ramen. I visited twice and enjoyed the delicious food. My children especially loved the agedashi tofu, which had a light and crispy batter. We tried the black garlic, tonkatsu, and miso ramen, each with tender char siu. Our favorite was the black garlic, although my son preferred the miso. We also liked the kale noodles as a substitute, finding them chewier than the regular ramen noodles. I will definitely return for a third visit to try their Donburi and king chicken katsu curry.
