Located in a small neighborhood strip mall, Kenta is unopposing and quaint. Upon entering, I was greeted by a friendly owner with a big smile. I wanted to love this spot immediately. I ordered the tonkotsu ramen and asked if it was possible to be ordered spicy- I noticed other types of ramen had spicy options.As soon as the ramen was put in front of me, I knew..... something was wrong. The smell was horrible. The taste was horrible. It was probably the worst ramen I've ever had in my life, and I've had some really bad bowls. The "spice" was stale shichimi shaken in, as you can see floating at the edge of the bowl in my photo.... and that was the flavor. So sorry to the sweet owners, but this was a one star.

Give this four stars for effort . The tonkatsu ramen was nice . Noodles were chewy and different . Friend ordered the chicken yakisoba ... tasty . The chicken kaarage was delicious at first and then I think I had a few pieces that were under cooked . When I showed it to the server , she said it was fine . Well I don't think under cooked chicken is fine . Parking was easy and service was otherwise ok .

The broth was not thick enough or spicy enough for my taste. The service is great and if you get the deal to add a side it's a lot of food

Truthfully I had very high expectations coming in because this place has been around for a decade, it was in a small plaza, and the pictures on yelp looked good. I figured it had to compete well against the nearby, trendy ramen spots, but most patrons were looking for a quick, quiet lunch so that's their niche.Parking was easy and food came out fast, but the ramen I got, the miso corn butter, was very okay. The broth was warm not hot so i had to swirl the chunk of cold butter in the broth (I wasn't expecting such a big chunk), the soft boiled egg wasn't seasoned and was VERY cold, and the noodles were overcooked. The meat wasn't anything special either. The other toppings (bamboo shoots and corn) helped salvage the dish and paired nicely with the super rich broth. It's a quiet mom n pop spot and they're really nice. They let a table of with a child take up two tables so the parent could keep their kid's toys away. But otherwise, there are a lot better options not too far away. This place is good for people who are coming with someone else who might not want ramen or people who are craving ramen and don't want to wait in line. I found that most ramen places near aren't open as long or have less convenient parking so if I'm ever in a rush and really craving ramen, I'd come back here. It scratches the itch, is filling, and has a few fun options to try.

Kenta Ramen's located in an unsuspecting plaza at the edge of Foster City. Since it's in a plaza, parking is abundant and no need to pay for parking. Truthfully, my only goal for coming here for dinner was to try their black garlic miso ramen. I've seen the reviews raving it and I've been on a ramen hype later so really hoped it would satisfy the taste buds. On a weekday evening, my boyfriend and I were the only ones inside. We got seated promptly, viewed the menu via QR code, and then ordered. I opted for their ramen, my boyfriend got a sushi roll and a hand roll for himself. I think sushi was fine, but while the ramen had a ton of toppings included, the flavor was just lackluster for me. Service was prompt and helpful. Prices were reasonable. Next time I come here, I'd probably just stick with the sushi.

This was our first time dining in. We've had the Black Garlic Ramen delivered during the pandemic, and it was good. Dining-in, such a good experience! Greeted by friendly staff. Restaurant is clean and welcoming. QR code on the table for a menu. (I still get a kick out of doing that!) We opted for the Gyoza and Karaage for appetizers. Both were delicious. We both chose the Spicy Kenta Ramen, and added Chashu pork as extras. So freakin good! It wasnt overly spicy like a lot of other places - who just want to burn your tastebuds off. This was done delicately, yet intentionally. (And they gave us extra chili if we wanted more heat.) The stewed pork was fantastic, the Chashu was thin and tasty, the broth was flavorful, spicy, and full of black mushrooms, corn, seaweed, tofu slices, and a perfectly cooked egg. We will definitely be coming back. The staff was so kind and friendly.

I've been to this spot a total of three times in the past six years. Menu is great and all food items are very delicious. The ramen and soup bases are very good. Yes, thick and full. Soup bases are super. I would say come here for very good ramen for sure. It beats most ramen places because the soup base ingredients and flavor combinations are perfect. Portions were very generous. No crowds at 5/6 PM Saturday. Accepts credit cards. Dark/dim lighting inside. Not a huge place. There's usually the lady who works all the tables. What's good? Tonkotsu Ramen, Black Garlic Ramen, Spicy Kenta Ramen (very good flavored cooked egg and pork meat), sunomono salad (cucumber seaweed vinaigrette lovers), chicken skewers, most sushi rolls, hamachi rolls, agedashi tofu, grilled squid (excellent), etc. There's not much I dislike here. Everything is very tasty and delicious. Wasabi and yellow ginger comes with all sushi orders. Water glasses are usually tall and full. Lady works very efficiently and has been here for years. The only reason they didn't get my 5-stars is because they do charge the mandatory 15% fee even for two people now. They didn't used to add this until pandemic times. In addition, you can choose to tip more or less. Overall, foods and service are still great. Plenty of free public parking in the lot. Definitely try going for the taste. Prices are similar at most ramen places these days.

Visited on a weekday night; easily got a seat inside. The waiter was taking a lot of calls in the front; I figured this place is doing mostly takeout now due to the pandemic, but it's still nice to sit for a bowl of hot ramen!I used to come to this place from time to time when I'm hanging out in Foster City with some friends. However, I haven't been back here since covid so I decided I stop by since it is so close to 99 Ranch in Foster City. I ordered mixed tempura, the Spicy Kenta Ramen, and my girlfriend got the Unagi Fried Rice. Tempura is fine, nothing special, nothing bad. Personally, I do like the ramen broth here. I find it thick and with good flavor. However, I'm not too big of a fan of the noodles and the meat was not cut as thinly as I would prefer. It was one big chunk of pork belly in my ramen bowl and I would have to use chopsticks to take it apart. There was a thinly slice char siu to go with the pork belly which is nice.The only nitpicky thing is that the 3 slices of tofu in my soup was cold, like straight from the fridge cold. I don't know if this is normal for tofu in ramen, but I don't know if it's supposed to be cold in a bowl of hot broth?Otherwise, the service is fine and the food filled my tummy. I would come back if I am in the area!

We come at least 1x a month for dinner as a family. We love coming here for special events too. Good for large groups, we have had 12 in there for dinner with out of town guests. The food is delicious and has a good variety of home made items. I especially love the okinomiyaki (sp??). We love them so much we had them cater my daughters birthday party! Egg rolls, and some sushi rolls and parents and kids were happy. Much love to the owners so work on site everyday -Ken and Esther - we love you!
