Ramen Seas — Restaurant in Sunnyvale

My girlfriend's favorite ramen shop.

Tonkotsu Ramen Again this was my girlfriend's favorite spot and she got her favorite thing. I let her enjoy hers and stole a few spoonfuls every now and then. Not enough to review it but enough to taste. Egg was over cooked

Black Garlic Miso Egg was also overcooked Very Mediocre considering you have two Umami power bombs in play: Black Garlic and Miso. The broth tasted like they made a super good umami packed broth with notes of miso and black garlic and pork and chicken, until someone dumped in a few gallons of water to make it last longer.

Squid Legs The batter seemed a little on the dark side but tasted fine. Think they're using old oil. The squid was cooked almost perfectly, good bite, tender and not too chewy, nicely seasoned.

Overall I really wanna like this place because my lady loves it. We have different tastes and this flavor or lack there of isnt for me. I'll keep coming here because she loves it but perhaps next time i'll order a seafood ramen as this is what they specialize in. Maybe that's the problem.

Side Note, the Chashu needs to be taken back to the drawing board. It's suppose to be braised low and slow, sliced thin once cooled down to retain it's shape and torched with a culinary blow torch to warm it up, char and caramelize some of the outer edges and bring a nice toasted flavor. I ate one slice out of the few i was given, so did my lady, at the end of our meal you could clearly see some soup and lots of Chashu left over. Probably because it tastes like it was boiled, sliced, an attempt was made at searing them. By attempt i mean putting the slices on a sizzle tray, popping it into a toaster oven or salamander for all of 15 seconds then rushed to the table. Come on guys! this is...

Horrible ramen, unbelievably horrible.

I wanted to order tonkotsu ramen but they only had kakuni tonkotsu ramen. The only difference between the two is that one comes with char shu, other with kakuni. They said they are out of char shu. I'm not sure how a ramen shop is out of char shu, but fine I'll get it with kakuni. That wasn't the worst part. The ramen was absolutely flavorless. I couldn't believe it, I didn't taste ANY salt either. I read the reviews beforehand that the soup was on a milder side. It was not mild, soup had NO salt nor flavor. I asked the server, tried to put it in the kindest way possible, if this is how it is, because I think someone made a mistake in the kitchen and forgot to add something. The sever was kind, he said if you don't taste any saltiness, something is wrong. They said they can make a new one but I said no thank you. I tried a bite of my husband's ramen (different order) and it had a tiny bit more flavor/saltiness than mine, but it was still far from being good. He said he can refund my order.

2 stars instead of 1 because the service was good, also I had a beer and karaage and they were both good. But I do not...

2021 - in my 2018 review I was very impressed and in love with this place that I said I’ll come back. I did and then I change my review from 4 stars to 2 stars.

Wow they charge about the same price as other top ramen places ($14.5 for tonkatsu), they have become an American style ramen place. They sear the pork slices instead of cook it for hours with seasoning so the meat taste bland.

I was also very disappointed with the spider roll. They put a lot of rice and i am not even sure if they use soft-shell crab in the roll. It looks like and it tastes like shrimp. They put lettuce in the roll, the same lettuce they put in ramen. :(

2018 - I used to travel to Japan few times a year and it was then got me really into ramen.

I think this place deserves a solid 4/5. Regular ramen is a bit small but more than enough for a hungry girl like me. I ordered lunch special for $10 and it comes with a side dish and a tonkatsu ramen. I thought the there's no egg in my ramen so I accidentally pay $1 for another egg.

The only thing that can be improved is the pork, it's a little bit dry and should be marinated for longer to get the flavor.

I...
