Takashi Ramen - (Near Goleta, CA)

4 /5 Sebastian Brown: I think this is a good one for what it is meant to be: A spot to get decent, convenient/fast, and comforting Japanese food. Will the ramens flavor blow you away like, say, Nikka Ramen? No, but I feel like this place has a different appeal. Its very conveniently located to shopping and UCSB campus and has very good parking. It also has some nice "street food-esque" interior decor. My favorite part was the showy Japanese music they were playing in the background. Maybe its just because the music was similar to the kind of stuff I listen to on Spotify, but I found the overall vibe charming/pleasant. The staff seemed very friendly to me, with the server kindly getting me a glass of water even when I didnt realize it was self-serve and right next to me until he did so. Got the curry ramen. Overall, I thought it was decent, more or less what Id expect from a Japanese curry dish. The egg/pork couldve been a little better and the noodles were probably a little too thick. But overall, it was still satisfying enough. So overall, it wont change your life, but Ill definitely be coming back to grab some lunch here every so often.

5 /5 Erin Panitnan: The food was really delicious! Today was my first time eating here. I ordered the Tonkatsu Ramen, Takoyaki, and Kara Miso Ramen. The pork was so tender and tasty — not chewy or smelly at all. The ramen was super delicious. The restaurant is clean and the staff are very friendly. I’ll definitely come back again because the price is really worth the great quality!

5 /5 Sam Haj: Delicious ramen and very authentic to Fukuoka-style Hakata ramen. Affordable prices and great restaursnt ambience. Clean and friendly service!

1 /5 Smokey 777: $30 for a bowl of ramen!!! And it was no better than a cup of noodles. The noodles were stuck together I tried heating up the broth and letting them soak and cook and nothing. A big ball of stuck noodles. The broth was no better than chicken soup. How they justify charging $30 for one bowl of ramen is ridiculous! I’m sorry I’m not trying to put anyone out of business I’m just being honest because this was a rip off!

5 /5 Jane: Went for lunch and dinner, both times were an incredible, fun experience with friends :) Staff are so hardworking and kind, they really take care of you! Service is prompt despite a busy crowd, everyone is so cheerful Tsukemen - Dipping ramen, would recommend if you like an intensely rich broth and thick, wavy noodles 24hr tonkatsu - Classic, thin and light noodles with a surprisingly refreshing broth Chashu portions are SO thick and soft! I really do think they have a bowl for any taste or preference, very worth the visit :)
