I was pleasantly surprised upon my 1st visit to Ramen Wakusei which names its ramen dishes after planets (ie. wakusei). They serve delicious ramen noodles and broth. I liked Mars and Venus. Service is fast and polite. Oh and I was glad they don't offer Uranus ramen! I've been there a half a dozen times and they've never disappointed. Recommended! read more

18% service charge is mandatory (not a tip), and they still ask for more tips. Their food quality does not justify the cost. Venus Ramen ($19) was small portion and average, with a hard to chew fried lotus root. Ika Karaage is not crispy and hard to chew too. Aries Soba is not the normal soba I expected, it was thick, udon-like noodles instead of traditional thin soba. Tiny portions (refer to my pics). Poor experience overall read more

As much as I like the ramen here, the fact that they're adding an 18% service fee that is NOT considered a tip is not okay with me, and I'm choosing not to come back. I think junk fees are deceptive and they need to stop. The prices are already on the higher end compared to other ramen joints. While service here is usually non-existent (no water refills even though cups were empty, no checking in on us), the new guy that served us on our last visit was very nice and he was trying his best and we appreciated him. I usually like the ramen dishes I get here, with my favorite being The Saturn. The curry dish I got recently was a miss. read more

Ramen Wakusei is in a plaza close to 10 Butchers, Meriwest Bank, TP Tea, etc. The ramen house is modern, simple decor yet stylish. The menu has unique names from planets to celestial signs..."where the flavors of the galaxy come alive in every bowl. Inspired by the wonders of the universe..." Mercury Ramen: Tonkotsu-style ramen with a broth made from kelp and bonito flakes, providing subtle umami flavors. Butterfly Shrimp, pork belly chashu, kikurage mushrooms, green onions, half seasoned soft boiled egg, fried lotus, pickled radish (4/5). Flavorful with a undertone of seafood brininess of scallops. I really enjoyed the fried lotus roots and butterflied shrimp with cheese. The noodles were thin style but cooked perfectly. The prices are a bit higher than other ramen places but the uniqueness of each bowl is enticing. The service was friendly, polite, and fast. I'll be back to try their other creations. Support your local business. read more

First of all, DON'T PAY TIPS because it's already included. Secondly, this plaza is notorious for parking here. It's not as bad as the parking from the small plaza on the other side of fair oaks but this plaza is really really difficult to find parking. The ramen is relatively new as it used to be Chick & Tea. The space is fairly small and the tables are arranged for small parties so I wouldn't recommend larger parties to come here. My biggest gripe of this place is not only the price (it's going to be $35 for a ramen) but mostly that it has the audacity to ask for MORE tips after it changes you 18% service charge. The place is not traditional but more trendy in that it named different ramen with planets and constellations. I don't like the noodles because they are not chewy at all. The soup base doesn't mash with the ingredients. Pork bone base doesn't go well with seafood such as softshell crab. Is this a horrible place? Nope, otherwise it wouldn't get 3 stars but I'm already being generous because I don't think the price reflect the quality. I'd rather go to a more traditional Japanese ramen place (opened by Japanese) than innovation that doesn't work well because in the end ramen is all about noodles and soup bases. read more

Went on a sunday night around 7:30, place was busy but we were able to get seated immediately. Prices are a bit expensive for the portion size, but i guess that's a bit expected for the area. Abura soba (mercury?) - 3.5/5 I thought this was ok - the noodles had a good chew and the meat was tender but there wasn't a ton of flavor in the overall dish. I didn't think the portion size was that big either - i left still feeling hungry. The more egregious thing was that they charged us an undisclosed 18% service fee for a party of 3, and they had the audacity to say that it wasn't a tip, wanting us to tip even on top of that read more

We came around peak lunch time, but it was empty on the inside. We were seated immediately. We ordered the Saturn and the Premium Venus. Everything came out incredibly quickly. The Saturn was interesting! The crab was delicious - well fried, well breaded, and well seasoned. Next time I'd likely order it on the side, lest it sink into the ramen and loose its crunch. The broth was flavorful, and very bonito-forward. The pickled radish was a perfect compliment to the heavier flavors present in the bowl. Venus was decent. The broth was fine, but a bit bland. The addition of a slice of fried lotus was an interesting change of flavor and texture. Overall, though, the noodles were just okay - which is unfortunate, because this is a ramen shop. read more

I visited on a Tuesday night around 5pm. There were no other customers until around 6pm. ORDER Neptune Ramen Saturn Ramen Gemini Soba STARS (stand out qualities) -Food (4/5 stars) - food was hot and yummy; hefty amount of noodles; soft Saturn shell crab was fried really well; good amount of scallops and shrimp were; Neptune broth was my favorite part -Service (3/5 stars) - staff were friendly and good about bringing water and food in timely manner ; reward system available -Ambiance (4/5 stars) - clean and space themed; moon was outstanding STAIRS (areas of growth) -The Gemini was shared among two people and they gave an extra half egg I initially thought was complementary but I was surprised to find out there was an additional $3 charge for half an egg (server did not mention giving an extra egg or extra charge) -The egg was not as gooey as I'd like it to be in ramen -Prices are high for what you get. The ramen bowls do have some good ingredients but it feels like more noodles than the other toppings -Also surprised by 18% surcharge (not considered tip) that was on the fine print of menu but staff didn't point it out and let us know beforehand. I don't blame the service staff and disagree with this management decision to make surcharge rate as high as a tip percentage TIPS -Be wary of the 18% surcharge and other hidden charges While food was pretty good, I would not go here again until or recommend others as long as those surcharge policies and hidden charges continue. read more

Ramen Wakusei is located in the same plaza as TP Tea and 10 Butchers! The plaza itself is a moderate size with enough parking spots, but once it's peak hours, expect it to fill up fast. We came during lunch time on a Wednesday so it was very chill and only 1-2 other parties. The restaurant is moderate size and modern looking. Service was prompt and friendly. Their menu items are interestingly named after planets and zodiac signs. Food: - Chicken Karaage: Tender chicken with crunchy batter exterior. 8.5/10 - Mars: Subtle seafood based umami broth with thick ramen noodles. Chasu pork was cut thinly and had a slight five spice taste to it. The butterfly shrimps had melted cheese on top. The spice tasted oily. 8/10 - Mercury: A bit thicker garlicky broth with thin ramen noodles. The the chasu pork was the same as the Mars bowl, but with corn! This is a very nice solid ramen restaurant. read more

You're in for a surprise if you dine here, the good and the bad! Situated in a small strip mall hosting a few other eateries, Ramen Wakusei brings in locals and visitors alike with their simple yet loaded menu of ramen, soba, and curry rice dishes. Named for the planets, their menu features dishes with those monikers in addition to constellations. As you step foot into this well lit and clean shop, your gaze will be captured by the giant moon feature on the wall to your right. Like a wolf howling in yearning for a response from their brethren, your stomach will begin to growl in hopes to satisfy its hunger. The staff will greet you and seat you with menus, utensils and waters. As you peruse the menu, you'll notice a few differences between the ramen bowls including the type of protein and soup base. Some of the soups are spicy. The soba noodles are similar and have premium meats like wagyu graded beef. Both noodle options have a vegetarian alternative for those looking to skip the meat. There are also options to add extra ingredients at an additional cost (quite a big one at that). As we weren't all too hungry, we decided to get a bowl of ramen each for the adults and one for the two kids to share. The staff took our orders and even gave a bowl for us to split the kids' order. Little did we know that they ended up adding an extra half egg without telling us (which ended up getting charged as an additional 3 bucks). It was a pleasant surprise at first, thinking they were "giving the pickle" as they say in the old days when it comes to customer service, but then became a downright bummer when we saw the check. That was surprise number one. The food we ordered at least tasted great. The sticker prices on them were not so great - some sitting at nearly $30 a bowl! Not the best value given that the noodles don't seem to be made in-house. Their seasoned eggs are not very seasoned and are atrociously overcooked. They at least give you a lot of noodles to fill you up. Neptune - a seafood behemoth swimming with big chunks of scallops and shrimp. The broth was light and paired well with the umami flavors from the protein. Saturn - the big one that's extremely photogenic with its fried soft shell crab taking center stage. The crab is cooked perfectly and exhibits an incredible crunch with each bite yet retains that soft meaty interior. The soup base is a bit spicy but is manageable and really brings the dish together. Gemini - interesting flavors with the inclusion of yogurt but the meat was tough, definitely not what I would have expected for something with wagyu in its name. The soba noodles were chewy as advertised and had good texture and taste. The service was decent. Waters were filled for the most part and dishes were cleared rather timely. The food came out without much of a wait and looked fresh, retained heat well through the meal, and tasted good. When we asked for the check, we took a look carefully and noticed an additional service charge of 18% which we realized later that there was super tiny fine print on the menu indicating this additional cost. When we inquired about it, the staff simply mentioned it was policy, that it was not considered gratuity or tax, and that other restaurants have started to do this too. Surprise number two and a huge turn off, not just for this place that served mediocre ramen at best with eye catching protein and additional flare, but any other store that decides to apply an additional cost to pay its workers - just bake it into the menu prices; don't hide the cost from your customers. Marketing has certainly won this meal for them. Overall, Ramen Wakusei has a great concept and does a fine job in building the brand and executing the menu to live up to its image. The ingredients that go into each bowl can probably use an evaluation with a fine tooth comb to ensure its value is as advertised. The prices are exceptionally high for what seems to be served. On top of that, overcharging your customers for additional food when unprompted and seemingly making the "service charge" intentionally obscured seems like awful business practices. It's a shame such good tasting food ended up leaving such a bad taste afterwards. read more

I got the Venus ramen here and the broth was light, which I enjoyed. It had good flavor while also not being very overpowering. The pork was cut more thin than I was used to but it wasn't bad. All the toppings are also typical so nothing much to say about them. The interior is clean and my order came out relatively quick. read more

Was super excited to see the wide variety of aburasoba dishes here! I tried the Leo which had chicken breast, raw egg, mushroom, green onions, and fried onions (I also added chili powder). I enjoyed the chewy texture of the noodles but especially without the chili powder I felt like the sauce could have been a bit more flavorful. Food came out very quickly, staff were attentive, and the restaurant was very clean and quiet enough to be a great spot to catch up with a friend! read more

I would give this ramen place a solid 4/5. The ramen had everything that I expected and it was pretty solid but it did lack a "wow" factor that I have felt in other ramen places. The tonkatsu broth was nice and savory and pork pieces were nice and tender. The service was also very fast! We were seated right away and the ramen came out super quickly after we ordered. There were lots of seating options inside. read more

Got ramen with soup - crab (Saturn, garnishes and chili paste on the side) and seafood (Neptune). It wasn't bad but the noodles could've been chewier/bouncier. The soft shell crab didn't really pair well with the broth and pickled radish. For the other, the seafood you get was actually not bad. Overall though, the flavors didn't really pop or come together. It kind of just tasted bland. The heat from the chili sauce and acid from pickled radish helped with that but overall it felt unsatisfying. The staff are nice and attentive, but didn't know what was in the broth when we asked. Later we saw though on the menu that the seafood ones had bonito in the pork broth. I asked what the sour spicy sauce was for the a4 Wagyu abura soba and they also didn't know. I thought they were going to say vinegar and chili oil. The three stars is just for the food. I think it's missing something. It's tough because there's a lot of good ramen in the Bay Area. I wouldn't spend $26.xx per ramen again here but I wanted to like them. Maybe I need to try the abura soba next time. read more

UPDATE: Whoa whoa whoa, an 18% service charge that's *not* a tip? Tasty food or not (and some of their other offerings I've tried since my first visit were indeed more impressive), this seems unnecessary at best and deceptive at worst.

Ramen Wakusei - Saturn - Ramen Near Me - Sunnyvale, California

Sad :( Decided on a whim to come here with friends since we had never tried and were craving something warm to fend off the cold weather. I'm also a total sucker for crab so the Saturn ramen was speaking to me. There were very few people inside when we arrived. Chicken karaage: Good, nothing special, could've used a lemon. The sauce that comes with it is just regular mayo. We got regular spice but asked for the spicy seasoning on the side which was nice. Saturn: I really did want to like this. However it was lackluster. The broth was fine, v umami but didn't stand out to me. The noodles were fine, but reminiscent of the "fresh" ramen noodles you buy in the refrigerated section of the grocery store. The crab should've been the really big wow factor but unfortunately that too was underwhelming. There wasn't too much flavor and I didn't love the breading on it. Service was fast and he was very attentive, refilling my water constantly since I drink so much. I think for $26 ramen it's not worth. Yes the Venus (my mom and friend got) is cheaper, but that broth was very light for a tonkotsu broth and didn't seem worth it either. read more

My son and I have visited this restaurant for ramen on several occasions. We like the ramen. During our most recent visit on 4/9/26, we noticed after paying that an 18% service charge had been added to the bill. There is a note on the receipt indicating that this charge is not a tip. While I understand that restaurants may adjust pricing to cover operational costs, adding a service charge without clearly communicating it upfront can be confusing for customers. A more transparent approach--such as including these costs in menu pricing or clearly disclosing them before ordering--would be appreciated. Sharing this so other diners are aware of the policy in advance. read more

I was confused whether I should get the ramen or the aburasoba. I prefer minced pork to chashu pork so I was tempted to go for the Aries but eventually ended up going for the Mars, because it was supposed to have a kick of spice (chili garlic) and it was also a rainy day so a bowl of ramen felt more appropriate. I thought the Ramen was very standard and did not actually have the kick of spice and like the other reviews have stated, the spices that were there did not seem to blend too well and the broth did not stand out. The noodles were thin noodles and they really stuck together, it felt a bit like they could be cooked a bit more for me. I will rate this 3/5. We also tried the Chicken Karaage and I think it was good value for money for the price. We went for the spicy version but it was not really spicy. They did give us the spice powder when we asked though, on the side. Another thing going for the dish was that it was not at all oily. You can also see the Milky Way - which is Katsu Pork with rice end curry pictured which my friend had, and was a fan. I'd rate the plate 3.5/5, but I'm rounding off to 3 and not 4. read more

The menu was quit interesting with celestial theme noodles. I really enjoyed the edemema appetizer. It was a fun idea but seems pretty simple. Got the Golden Sun abura soba. Now I eat Kajiken pretty regularly so I have a certain idea of abura soba. When compare to this one I'm kind of disappointed. Aside from the bamboo the rest of the ramen was lacking in seasoning. The gold flake is optional which is only for aesthetic. The beef was tender but I've not had real wagyu so it's not like I can tell I think I'm more accustomed to being able to drown my abura soba in vinegar and oil so I wish they have those items to help make the noodle more flavorful. Service is fine. There was only 1 person during lunch taking care of order and bringing out the food but they were pretty fast. read more

The food here was pretty good! There are only 2 vegetarian options and the ramen was okay, but not the BEST veggie ramen I've ever had or anything. I'll probably come back to try the other veggie option which looked like it may have been the better bet. I appreciate that they had the option to add an egg. I got the Earth ramen, and the alternative meat substitution was pretty good, but I wish there was more of it. The shops around this place are awesome, so it was nice to bop to a nearby boba place after dinner (if we weren't already so stuffed). Service was really friendly, but my bowl did come out as one of the last ones, which generally sucks as a vegetarian because you don't really have anything else to eat. I'll be happy to revisit the review once I try the other veggie option, but so far, I think it's a "good enough, if you have friends who really want to go here, you're not going to starve" read more

My wife went here yesterday and brought me back the leftovers. Attached is the photo of the ramen purchased. Her comments were that the egg and broth were very good. The pork was a bit dry. My comments are as follows: We usually don't like ramen places but this one was fantastic in both the broth and the noodle texture. Usually we think that ramen places are over priced, weak broth, and have bad noodle texture. Even at the places that most people recommend. This place was different. The broth was a thick tonkotsu and it was fantastic combined with the black garlic oil. The noodle texture is delightful. She paid around $17 for this bowl. She loved how their ramen names were themed after planets and such. If I was in the area, I'd come back. If anyone suggested they wanted ramen, I'd come here. It's really changed my opinion. read more

TLDR: Pretty good Curry. Friendly staff. I went there around 6ish on a Thursday night. Didn't have to wait at all for a seat. The wait staff were very pleasant and friendly and I felt very welcomed here. I ordered the katsu curry and the karaage chicken. Everything came out SUPER piping hot! I know my wife would have loved that, but it was a bit too hot for me to truly enjoy the flavors and taste. But that's just a minor nitpick. After waiting a few minutes to cool off, I tried the karaage first. it was juicy inside, and suitably crunchy on the outside. There was no other flavor, but it did come with some kind of mayo dipping sauce. I ended up drenching it in the curry instead. Still tastes very good. The curry itself was very unctuous and umami. It was thick and had a strong flavor. I really enjoyed the curry. The katsu was just as crunchy as their chicken, and similarly the meat inside wasn't dry at all. The portion size i feel was worth the price. Overall, I enjoyed it a lot, and I LOVE Japanese curry. I think I'll try the Ramen next. read more

This isn my second time here, I wanted my mom to try this place out. She really enjoyed her Venus ramen bowl. I ordered their dry ramen Leo. It was a little bit bland, didn't have that much flavor. I couldn't taste the soy sauce that they mixed in. But I really liked the little ingredients of details that they added. it looked like it was pork floss which I don't think it was mentioned on the menu for ingredients. So it made it feel more of a Chinese dish than a traditional Japanese dish. I love pork floss all my dishes, so I didn't mind that. In terms of service, she wasn't really approachable, she didn't check in if anything was OK after we got our food. As we were leaving, she didn't say bye or anything. It was just only her serving, taking orders, giving us a check. But there was only like three customers, including me and my mom. But as we left, she never said bye to us or thank you. In terms of the whole ambience, it's quiet. It's also half empty the first time that I came here a month ago. It's almost empty actually. And almost about the same time during lunch hour, it's like they get shipment during 1pm to 2pm. This is the second time that's happened when I came here. overall experience, the food came fast. The food is tasty for the soup style. I just wish the service was a little bit more friendlier and approachable and maybe have shipments come during "closing time" which is usually 3 PM to 5 PM for most ramen restaurants in the bay. read more

TL;DR - Nice addition to the very competitive ramen scene here in the South Bay. Solid ramen place with interesting twist of premium ramen toppings like seafood and beef - albeit somen-style ramen. Great Takoyaki! Kids felt like having Takoyaki so we decided to come checkout the place. Ordered their Takoyaki, Ika, regular tonkotsu ramen (Venus), and tonkatsu curry rice. Everything came out quick and flavorful - broth had a nice smoky depth to it, though the noodles were a bit lack luster. Curry was a good balance of sweet and a hint of sweet. Cabbage was shredded very fine, but potentially a lil overdressed with vinegar(?) - I prefer my cabbage dry and piled high :D Ika was solid, albeit a lil more fried than I'd like, and came with a pseudo honey-mustard sauce. I'd say the star of the show was the Takoyaki - chewy, creamy, and full of umami thanks to the generous shaving of bonito flakes over the top - total hit with the kids! Being as that's what we were here for, it was a win and we left with happy and full bellies! read more

Ramen Wakusei - Two thumbs up from the kids! - Ramen Near Me - Sunnyvale, California

Tasty ramen perfect for those days you need some comfort food. Had to order the *Saturn Ramen* since it looked so attractive and unique. You can't really find ramen with an entire soft-shell crab nearby. I got mine NOT spicy, which they were easily able to accommodate. The broth is very tasty even without spice, and complements the crab perfectly. The *Katsu Curry* is very comforting and can be adjusted for spice level as well. It's awesome when a place specializing in ramen also has great Japanese curry. And of course you can't go wrong with *Takoyaki* (octopus balls). Always a great appetizer and the octopus to ball ratio was generous. Service was courteous and the meal went well with no issues. TIP: It's all about the soft shell crab. Get your crab on! DATE TIP: Wonderful date experience where you can have your crab all to yourself. read more

What a hidden gem. Love the creativity of the menu and the naming. I LOVE soft shell crab and there are only a few ramen places that serve this and Ramen Wakusei did an EXCELLENT job with the Saturn.

Came in after a long day on the road, and a couple hours at home to gather our senses. Wife wanted Ramen, had been asking for Ramen for the last few days, but we hadn't figured out a place to go and the weekend didn't allow for it till now. Saw this on yelp, figured why not? It's near the house for us. Seems to be well reviewed and a new establishment. Came in, not very many people... In fact, one other family. So got seated pretty quickly and dug into the menu. It's not expecting to be greeted with some unorthodox Ramen options in comparison to many of the other places that we've been to. Of course they have your standard offerings, but then they have a lot of other different takes on Ramen that seemed pretty good. Of course, my wife had to go and try the most eye catching one: the Saturn, with it's crag of fried softshell crab on top! I wasn't really feeling soup and elected to try the Gemini (exes be damned!). I didn't try my wife's just because I can't handle spice unfortunately, for the gym and I was really good! Really hit the spot, and not too much. A lot of places to go to the 10 to overdo it on servings and always end up leaving a lot behind. This was just enough for me for one night. Noodles were very chewy and I love the texture! I don't think I've tried that before. Also, the noodles were hot instead of cold like so often in tends to be. Wagyu was cooked and seasoned nicely, a hood shade of pink, any crispy toppings, added both the flavor and the texture. All in all, I loved it and was very pleasantly surprised! Looking forward to coming back to try some other dishes! PS: Pisces, Capricorn, and a few others are out of this menu. On one hand, I can understand it (sorry Cancer, not ordering that deliberately lol) but hopefully some more of the zodiac can make it on the menu at some point! read more

3.5 rounded up to 4. Came on a Friday night. The parking lot is of a decent size but it's pretty full most of the time, so it might be a bit hard to find parking unless someone happens to be leaving. The interior was clean and the staff was friendly. They have a lot of pretty unique ramen flavors that are seafood broth based. I got the Mercury (tonkotsu-style w a broth made from kelp and bonito scallop broth) and my friend got the Venus (tonkotsu-based w pork belly chashu). Although it was unique, I thought the broth was a bit too rich for my liking as the Mercury ramen came with butterfly shrimp with cheese and pork belly chashu, which was very heavy (esp the cheese...). The portion was large and I will say it is maybe on the slightly pricier side of ramen. read more

Love the menu item names and different ramen options! A group of 3 of us came on Saturday for a late lunch at 3pm so we were seated right away. The service was steady and attentive. We all got very different options which was great for sharing and trying new things. We got: - Saturn. Soft shell crab soup ramen with Chashu. It has a lighter broth taste and perfect for my dad who prefers lighter salt. The soft shell crab was pretty big so it was enough to share. - chicken katsu curry. Standard and tasted very good. No issues! - Aries. Dry ramen with ground pork and tomatoes. I substituted the raw egg with a soft boiled. Flavor was amazing and balanced. Everyone loved their dishes and the fact that ours located in the same plaza as TP Tea makes us wanna go back for this combo! read more

Sneaky 18% service charge for a party of 2. Then asks to tip on top of it. Food doesn't justify how overpriced it is. :(

Unique and solid spot! They have seafood ramen which you don't see in many other ramen restaurants. Service here is quick and there is plenty of seating. Reason for 3 stars is mainly based on the abura soba. I got the Libra one. The seasoning of the dish was a little on the plain side. Chashu was dry. I also ordered a boiled egg as an add on but the egg tasted very egg-y (more sulfuric), which usually hints at the freshness of the egg. If you come here I'd recommend sticking with their ramen instead of abura soba! I tried my friend's and it was delicious. read more
