Ramen Nagi Santa Clara Reviews
Great service, the server that went by the name of Richard
Great service, the server that went by the name of Richard explained everything to me when it was my first time eating here. He was extremely nice and patient with me when I was unsure of what to order. Give this polite young man a raise! Will defini
I think the line outside speaks for itself.
Even though we had to wait outside for a bit the service is very fast and efficient. The hostess explained and helped us order before we even got our table. Food came out hot and quick. The pan friend gyoza was very tasty and had the perfect amount o
I stopped by Ramen Nagi for lunch today.
The line was very short, which was great for me. It's usually very long. I only had to wait 10 minutes for a seat. They give you a form to fill out, while you are waiting in line, so you can make your ramen selection with specifications. I ch

RamenNagi is one of the busiest spots in Santa Clara and for good reason. It's from Tokyo and very authentic ramen however for me this place falls short compared to the heavyweights like other competitors I've been to. Since I don't e

the lines are unnecessarily long for what it is, but i can understand the anticipation because of nagi's consistency in their ramen quality. their broth is flavorful but not overly rich. every flavor seems carefully crafted. when you're in
I have lots of good review about this place.
I was finally in this neighborhood to try out Ramen Nagi. The line was already long on a weekend afternoon around 4:45 pm. People were lining up to wait for the place to open. Even the line was long, but the service was efficient. The server took you

My favorite ramen spot in the Bay Area! I've been here so many times, and it hits the spot every time. This place gets busy, even on weekdays, so I definitely recommend going right when they open to avoid the wait. I always get the Red King bec

I fear the hype is real! This is some of the best ramen I've ever had and it's so affordable for the quality. They've also streamlined the ordering so dont let the long line intimidate you. We went right around opening and were sat rig

Massive shoutout to Mike @ Ramen Nagi! I've been to the Palo Alto location before, but this time I stopped by not quite sure what to order. Luckily, Mike came to the rescue! Even during a packed lunch rush with 20-30 people, he took the time to

I was told this was life changing ramen, but everyone's life is different and it did not change mine. Do I think it was worth it to stand in the ridiculous long line to eat here? No and I don't understand why so many do. BUT, if you do sta

Limited edition Crab King Ramen! It's crab season and soft shell crabs are in abundance! Ramen Nagi is offering the soft shell Crab King limited edition for a short time. The line was the usual 3 deep when we got there at 6:30 Sunday evening.
We heard that ramen nagi was bringing back the crab king.
We were excited to try it. We got in line and waited, they do not have a-lot of servings of the Crab King, Perhaps only 20 servings. If you are not the first round of people to go in, chances are low. You can only change the spicy level, type of nood

My favorite ramen in the bay! I like the texture of the noodle and the broth is very flavorful and tasty. It does feel very rich so I have to drink a lot of water afterwards but it's worth it. I also like the bean sprouts that they give on the

Went for Original King this time, it's overall good ramen, but expensive as the egg is extra, and the wait was still 45 minutes If you don't mind spending the time and $, go for it
We went on a Tuesday at opening and got immediately seated.
We got our food fast and it was fresh and so good! I did 1 star spice on red king and it was still pretty spicy. But still so good. Also got the thick noodles which is like regular ramen noodles but if you want thinner. Do the thinner one. The ambian

This spot alllllways has a line, so figured the food must be good. We waited in line for about 45 minutes on a Saturday. Food came out in 5 minutes, so they're super fast back in the kitchen. The servers are friendly, but you need to grab someo
Well worth the wait.
We got lucky and the line wasn't long so we jumped in, not planning to go here. There were about 7 parties in front of us and it only took 10 minutes to get seated. Once we sat, food was out in 5 minutes The actual food was so good. We got lig

I've always had a soft spot for ramen nagi as I love my ramen with option of spices. My favorite go to is the red king and their curry king would be my 2nd option. The curry king was a limited edition with soft crab and the gyoza is also my fav

Anytime we would go down to Westfield at Santa Clara, we would see this massive 30-40 people line outside of Ramen Nagi and always wanted to try it. The first time we tried this spot, we came right in the morning when the mall opened and waited for R

Came in around 6pm on a Saturday and this place was packed! Took about an hour 15 to wind around the ropes and be seated. I'm not sure lining up is the most efficient and I wish they did a text option as you are in the mall and could use time more wi

Each step of the Ramen Nagi experience feels very detailed and thought out. From the design and feel of the space to the bursting flavors, I really enjoyed my time here. I like how you can customize your bowl to your liking and there's also a variety

Came here a second time! The wait was long, about an hour.
They do their best to accommodate by giving you a menu in line and collecti your order. Once seated, the ramen comes out within 5-10 minutes. Really authentic and yummy ramen. This time I got spicy and learned I prefer non-spicy ramen from this resta

I have been here 2 times so far and both times have been absolutely fantastic and tasty. If you don't mind a little bit of a line this is a top notch ramen shop. Every worker has been lovely and efficient.

Amazing broth (I had the original king)! I also really appreciate how you can choose saltiness, oil content in addition to the spice level it really is unique in that sense and really caters to the customer's needs.

I love the concept they have of building your own ramen bowl. They make you choose your options while you wait in line which helps with seating you right away! Their service is always impeccable and their food is always good. Try out the chicken kara

Long lines kept us off for a very long time but it was my older one's birthday and he requested for ramen. The occasion definitely deserved one of the best ramen places so we decided to weather the line. There were about 40 people ahead of us on a we

I had the vegetarian option and I didn't think it would be very flavorful because of that but it did not disappoint! The food had so much flavor and now I understand why there's such a long line for it all the time! Once we got seating everything was

Waited about 15 min to be seated but prior a host will hand you forms for you to customize your ramen. Love that they do this because it makes the service run more efficiently. I also enjoy that the menu is small so it helps indecisive eaters like me

Been in the Bay for five years now and every time I go to Valley Fair mall, there is a huge line for Ramen Nagi. Not gonna lie, I didn't understand what all the hype was and didn't have the patience to wait in line. Well tonight my partner and I got

Awesome food and vibe! You need to stand in the queue but worth it. It has spice level suggestions, for me 5 was good.

I must say I did like the food but the long line was kind of annoying. Not sure if worth the wait. The place was alright. I like the fact that they gave you menu options so once you are seated you can just order asap. Did not wait too long for the
We waited in line 20 minutes to be seated.
My ramen arrived with rubber bands in the broth. I was able to waive a server over. She whisked the bowl away with no comment. 20 minutes later my new bowl arrived but not the way my lunch was ordered. The server brought over the order slip to try an

This place had been on my list for some time and I was eager to try it after being recommended it by some friends for a while. For our dinner, both my gf and I got the original king flavor with extra garlic as an option. Overall, we both really enjoy
Very tasty.
Like the pork belly, always ordered extra piece. The line is a little shorter now ( probably because the cross hall has the fast service noodle . That is good news for us -the Raman Nagi fans
I've had many different kinds of Japanese ramen in Hawaii,
I've had many different kinds of Japanese ramen in Hawaii, Japan, and Korea and I think Ramen Nagi's ramen is mediocre. I wouldn't stand and wait for a long time for this one.
Absolutely delicious bowl of noodles.
The wait isn't as long as it looks because the noodles comes out fast and it's so delicious that you finish it fast too. We finished our noodle within 15 mins. Tastes like ramen I've had in Japan.
Lengthy wait. Good, but not worth the wait.
Line is too long. The flavor/umami factor isnt worth the wait time in my opinion. i guess the bright side is that you can customize everything to your liking...
Every time I walk by I saw a line of people outside, then
Every time I walk by I saw a line of people outside, then people told me this is the best around. Recently I noticed on weekdays after 1pm or so, the line is not long, so I gotta go check it out. I was seated within 5 minutes, and I ordered the origi

This review is not for food.
The ramen is still solid.We were seated close to the kitchen today and the guys working inside the kitchen were super foul mouthed. They were working and chatting with each other and continuously cussing in Vietnamese as they spoke. Ver loudly, for t
Worst chicken karage ever.
Super greasy and the seasoning is on the sweeter note. Just not what I have always accustomed to. Ramen itself is cooked well but the broth is overrated; not worth of waiting in line for a long time. Service? There is no service it's a quick meal. I

Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Ramen Nagi Santa Clara at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Ramen Nagi Santa Clara page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* EternalAnt36, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* EternalAnt36 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to EternalAnt36 for any questions Peter may have as EternalAnt36 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* EternalAnt36 now uses their connections at Ramen Nagi Santa Clara to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If EternalAnt36 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, EternalAnt36 receives the $200 reward which is credited to EternalAnt36's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Ramen Nagi Santa Clara!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
