Ramen Champ was delicious! I live in the neighborhood and it's the first time I tried this place. I didn't know it was what it is. Super cute inside. Great vibes. Food was super tasty. I had a chicken dish and the boyfriend had one of the their ramen specials. Everyone was very polite, smiling and friendly. We will definitely be back.

I always know what to expect when I come to Ramen Champ. Their quality is very consistent. Plenty of flavor. Very rich and tasty and fresh ingredients. My absolute favorite is the yuzu shoyu ramen. The atmosphere is as good as it can possibly get. It is small and it is in an area that's not as pleasing for the curb appeal, but I'm just so grateful that it's right across the street from my work so I can get this wonderful tasting and delicious ramen when I'm craving for it. The service is always consistently good. They do get busy on occasion. But it's definitely worth the wait.

Overall big thumbs up. A tiny place serving up big flavors. One of the few to offer miso ramen and delicious at that. I love the quality of the food most of all. Definitely one to put on your list.FOOD: I love their attention to detail and the flavor of the food. It always seems high quality and doesn't taste like it came out of the freezer. Ramen is in their name and they do it great. Highly recommended!SERVICE: Always top notch. Everything is packed well. The staff is friendly. And they obviously care about their place. The portions are a nice size and like I said the quality is terrific.COST: Not bad for what you get. Comparable to other ramen places but when coupled with the quality and flavor this puts it near the top. If it were t so far from us we would go more often.

Came back after a 1 year gap. My go to is Shoyu Ramen. They've changed their recipe since the last time I've been here. The shoyu ramen is completely different from their original and its more like the Tokyo style. The noodles are thinner and they use pork belly meat instead of the pork shoulder. Wait staff was attentive and I'm happy they updated the QR codes. Before getting the QR code to scan was difficult, now not so much.

I tried spicy miso and yuzu shio ramen. Yuzu shio was light flavor and spicy miso was rich flavor. I liked thin noodles. I didn't expect the wait on Saturday night but there was a line so I switched to take out the food.I think this ramen's quality is pretty good. My favorite ramen place in south San Jose.

This might be my new favorite ramen spot! The broth was rich and flavorful, and the noodles had a great texture. The pork katsu portion was generous, and I also got the chicken karaage as an appetizer both were delicious. They also offer different types of sushi. Service was excellent, and there's plenty of parking.

Ramen was great. Service fast.If I had to gripe, it's small. I can see wait time for true ramen fans. Not a supporter of the scan code for menu ordeal either but it worked. I "will" definitely go back.

Huge thank you to Shogo and his team for helping me make a department lunch happen. I had a short notice to arrange lunch meals on a tight budget for 100 people, but Ramen Champ not only delivered in prices but quality as well! Shogo was able to cater 105 meals x (half portion appetizers, entree, and lychee sorbet) well before their usual open hours and was very kind to help me and my team load the food into our cars.We selected the Teriyaki Karaage Rice Bowls, Mazesobas, and Potato Curry Rice Bowls for our celebration. Ramen Champ offers vegetarian alternatives, and so we had a very inclusive spread for our staff. We received many compliments from the diversity of our staff. The lychee sorbet was really sweet but was still enjoyable for our team members. The Mazesobas was an adventurous option, but it was one of the most popular choices from our staff.

This place seems extremely popular, but it wasn't great for me. Went here on a rainy Friday evening and it was still packed. Not too many ramen joints in this part of town. I do like you order on your own using a QR code, and if I recall, you pay that way too. The weird thing was you pay for tip before you actually get your food, which is odd to me, because I tip according to service. Their food selection was fairly large. We tried two ramens. The Buta and the Tonkatsu. The Buta looked great and it came with an egg, which I liked, but the broth wasn't hot and maybe I'm not used to the Shoyu flavor but wasn't my thing. The Tonkatsu was basic and okay, but again just wasn't hot enough.

Good experience overall at Ramen Champ yesterday at 12:30. We looked at the busyness level from another review page online and were surprised it was low so we went for it! It's a small restaurant, but it's cozy! My husband had a craving for ramen on this cold day so I thought it was a good chance for me to broaden my food horizons. ;)Funny enough, I had never tried ramen before. It was a bit of a letdown when there was a sign on the door that Tonkotsu Ramen was unavailable, but hopefully this isn't a common thing... My husband said that is the flavor he always orders. In this case we opted to split the Shoyu Ramen. We ordered extra noodles for the perfect, shareable lunch. The portions are huge and it was great to split. We had edamame to start and I was feeling extra brazen so I ordered the fried octopus balls. I have to say the Takoyaki was not for my taste, but that must just be my taste buds because they seem very popular from reading the reviews. I appreciated the QR code to easily order and pay ahead. We opted for a window seat to have a bit more privacy and it was a nice lunch. I will hopefully be back to try the Tonkatsu Ramen since I did like the Shoyu Ramen. ;)
