Came here on a Sunday night with my family for the first time. Server was incredibly nice, informative, and honest. He checked with the chef several times about ingredients (we have food allergies). This guy gave us ZERO attitude and he seemed really genuine. Thank you, dude!The guy delivering our food and helping us with getting to go containers was also incredibly nice and helpful. Thank you, too!Food: I was very impressed. We ordered chicken katsu and the chicken was thick! It was breaded and fried really well.I ordered the yuzu ramen and the noodles had all the flavor. The broth was a little too intense for me, but overall, a great dish. I added kakuni and received fat, juicy, but not fatty pieces of pork. I loved the meat-to-fat ratio. Noodles were thin and cooked well.My brother ordered the jinro? ramen and the server wasn't lying when he said it was huge. My bro couldn't finish it! Get this ramen if you like to share and you love hella garlic.They automatically charge gratuity on large parties. No problem!They were able to seat us immediately and we didn't feel cramped. Other diners were just as pleasant.We have a terrific experience and we will definitely come back. We're not local to the area, so it's wonderful when we find a place that not only treats us well, but the food is high quality.There's a parking lot in the rear, but I parked on the street. Busy street, but there did not appear to be meters where I parked, nor did there appear to be parking signs. I also didn't look for parking signs on a Sunday night.We felt incredibly welcomed, we did not feel rushed or as if we were a burden, and our food came out pretty fast. I appreciated the quality of the ingredients, the food and the customer service was amazing! Did I mention that I didn't feel cramped? There was a LOT of space for me to move around the dining area without fear of bumping into people's tables. This is very important to me because I am a plus sized woman. I cannot rave about this experience enough and cannot wait until I'm back in town. Thanks Ramen Taka!

I was out in SJ to celebrate a friend's birthday. With our celebrations ending a bit later, we were searching for some late night comfort food. My friend found Ramen Taka through a quick search and suggested we go here.We came a bit before closing, and there was a short wait. Check-in is done through the Yelp waitlist. Once seated, service was efficient, and we were helped throughout. The ambiance is super low-key and casual. Lots of families and pairs come here to eat. Being a party of 5, the party fee was also added onto our bill.The menu offers a variety of ramen dishes plus appetizers and curries. The prices are quite reasonable plus they have good combos. We got Takoyaki to share which wasn't too hot and good. For ramen, I had the Tonkotsu Ramen. It was decent for the price but not many toppings. The broth was flavorful but pretty salty. I added an egg for an extra charge. The egg was good but not seasoned like other ajitama eggs. Noodles were bouncy and pork wasn't fatty. For the price, it was decent but not mind blowing!For those craving ramen, there are so many options in the area. Ramen Taka is a decent spot in Santa Clara with affordable prices. It's easy to find off The Alameda with parking in the back. We were all satisfied, but I wouldn't necessarily come back.

Came here for dinner as it was cold and we were wanting soup. We ended up getting the combo ramen with gyoza and fried rice and also got the combo beer and wings. The gyoza was nicely cooked, but typically the dipping sauce is too salty as it's soy sauce base. We did enjoy the black pepper wings. Although small it packed a lot of flavor and with the rice it could have been a meal in itself if there were more. Now on to the ramens. I tasted both and both were good. I did enjoy the miso ramen a bit more, just wished it came with the egg and a tad more spicy. Service was just okay. We did go during a busy time and they did forget to bring our beer until we asked for it. But it was still overall a nice eating spot. Ambiance wise, the decor is modern with nice pics of Japan. It is small and a bit tight. My friend got nudge couple times as employees walked past him.

The ramen was delicious! The staff were fast and friendly. We went for dinner and it wasn't too busy luckily.

Haven't been here for years, service is excellent! Ambiance is cool and light weight reminds me of ramen spots in Japan. I got the Taka Ramen with Spicy Sauce on the side. The ramen is simple yet hearty. Husband got the tonkatsu ramen with side of fried rice and Chili Oil, which he enjoyed. There are plenty of ramen spots in San Jose, this is good but the service puts it over the top.

The broth is excellent, flavors are delicious. We tried out two different Ramen both did not disappoint. We got there at 1:30 and the wait was only 5 minutes. Parking is available in the back but was full. Ambiance is great they have about ten tables and you can also sit at the bar. The place is in a brick building super cute. Would definitely recommend to Ramen lovers.

Quick service with minimal wait times, great portions!Great food! The katsu curry was delicious, with generous portions and quick service. Minimal wait times made for an excellent dining experience!"

Very good tasting and good service I arrived around 6:50PM and seated around 7PMWill come back in future for sure
