If you are a fan of vegetarian ramen, Menya Shono San Rafael is definitely worth traveling for, even from faraway places. The high-quality ingredients, attention to detail, and exceptional flavors make it a standout restaurant that is worth the journey. The vegetarian ramen is a must-try dish that will leave you feeling satisfied and wanting more.

The best ramen in the Bay Area! They make their own ramen noodle and hands down the best texture pairing with their super flavorful chicken broth. If this is In Berkeley or in San Jose, the line would be out the door. Can’t wait to come back!

I eat a lot of ramen (both in the Bay Area and across Japan) and can say without a doubt this is one of the best spots you can go to. I always get the DX Ramen and it is a struggle to not inhale it, which you can see with the person across from me that looks like they only got started. Marin County is plagued with the same bistro/pizza place on every corner, to have a REAL ramen spot not another 2nd rate sushi place with 4th rate “soup” (if you can even call them that), is life changing. I have no idea why this place doesn’t have 5 stars because it deserves all that and more!! I eat here every Saturday for lunch and it is so great I dont haveto drive to Oakland/SF/San Jose for great ramen. Please please give this place your business, especially if you are sick of the same exact pizza-pasta-burger thats on every corner here. This is REAL ramen, REAL ingredients, REAL love put into the dishes. I am so grateful this is here because growing up in Marin we are deprived of excellent food. Thank you Menya Shono for opening a location here, it feels like i’m back in Japan. ❤

This place is a great ramen spot in Marin. The food is delicious and the selection of drinks is great. I love that you can order and pay at the table because getting the check at a restaurant can sometimes take a while.

Very delicious ramen and great service! We had the Ginjo Duck Shoyu Ramen, the Toripaitan Ramen and the enoki tempura. The prices were very reasonable, especially given the high quality of the food. We’ll definitely be back!

Today I went to downtown San Rafael to eat at a place that turned out to be closed. So, we went looking for lunch.

Having sampled many of the most popular ramen restaurants in the Bay, Menya Shono is the real deal. I feel very lucky to have such a quality ramen spot here in San Rafael. Although it’s worth mentioning; the service is conducted entirely through a mobile phone… and we found it pretty difficult to get the attention of a staff member for simple requests like glasses of water and table settings. But what they lacked in customer service was made up in quality of food. If you like spicy options, go with the Blaze Ramen… it’s phenomenal.
