Taiyo Ramen — Restaurant in Thousand Oaks

We have eaten here multiple times and always found the ramen to be excellent. Unfortunately, last Sunday both my mom and five-year-old son found shards of what we thought was glass (turned out to be hard plastic) in their strawberry smoothies. My son actually spat out an inch-long piece of sharp plastic, which prompted my mom and I to sift through both drinks and find multiples pieces of varying sizes. By this time we were home and when we called the restaurant, they checked and admitted that a piece of their blender had somehow fallen off--without their noticing?--and gotten blended into the drink. The waitstaff didn't express much concern or empathy. Even worse, my mom called last night to speak to the manager, and while he admitted the issue, he didn't even offer an apology--all he did was say that he would talk to the staff about being careful. Fortunately, no damage appears to have been done, but we spent a worried evening and then kept our son home from school to monitor him and take him to the doctor. It's a shame because the food is really good, and I understand that accidents happen, but this is completely unacceptable across the board: from the fact that it did happen to the disappointing response from waitstaff...

We were so glad to see a ramen restaurant and decided to eat here instead of going to our originally planned place. Three of us ordered ramen with one appetizer. After 40 min of waiting very patiently, only my ramen came out. Not the appetizer but my entree. Waiting another 10 min to no avail, I paid for my food and left to go to a different restaurant to eat. They didn’t apologize at all or offered to comp the meal which I still would’ve paid. The male server who took our order should’ve checked on us 15 min later after he had taken our order. We never saw him again. It was very disappointing as I am a ramen foodie. I had so looked forward to it being really good so that I would frequent this place. The ramen I had, compared to all the different ramen places on sawtel in Los Angeles was very mediocre. It’s not worth the price for the lack of taste it has. If the food was awesome I would’ve been more forgiving for the horrible service but this place is one place I would not...

🌟 Taiyo Ramen - A Delicious and Affordable Lunch Spot! 🌟

I had the pleasure of dining at Taiyo Ramen for lunch today, and I must say—it was fantastic! The flavors were rich, the ingredients fresh, and the price was just right. If you're looking for a satisfying bowl of ramen without breaking the bank, this is the spot. The broth was packed with depth and umami, perfectly complementing the tender noodles.
