Little Shop of Ramen - Mariposa (CA)

5 /5 Megan Lucas: I visit this place every time I come to Mariposa. Sometimes multiple times in the same trip. The food is amazing and the staff is so friendly. Kim is so kind to us! We are only here for the holidays and she remembers us. The ramen is the best ramen I’ve had in the west coast. Must try. Add as many eggs as you like!!

1 /5 Jenny Chan: If you are American, you will love it. But if you are Asian, avoid this place at all costs. The ramen is nothing authentic but a weird fusion with American style. Noodle is definitely undercooked which is difficult to chew. It’s like putting pasta into soup. The soft boiled egg is over-marinated and salty. Charshu is pretty okay but it only comes with one slice given this price. Don’t hold high hope for a real ramen here in Yosemite.

5 /5 A Google User: It was a pleasant surprise to find a ramen spot like this in a small mountain town! We ordered the Miso Ramen and the She-Me Ramen. Both came out nicely presented, and the broth was flavorful, rich, and well-balanced, not too salty, just the right amount of depth. The noodles were a bit different from traditional ramen, more like soba noodles, but they worked well with the soup. The restaurant itself is cozy, with a clean and simple setup. Service was friendly and polite. It took about 20 minutes for our food to arrive after ordering, which felt a little long since it wasn’t too busy, but the quality made up for the wait. Overall, a great little find in Mariposa! If you’re looking for something warm and comforting besides the usual burgers or pizza around town, this place is definitely worth a try.

5 /5 Masha Alekseeva: The vegetarian coconut Ramen with grilled tofu was O MY GOD!!! The best I ever eaten. Tofu made in such a way that I enjoyed every piece of it (never before). Portion was just perfect for me (not too big to over eat, just right to feel happy). Broth was so balanced and rich. My mama said that it is the first food in America for her that she truly enjoyed. And the tables outside in the porch made me enjoying the time of waiting. If again in Mariposa - I will be there for Ramen!
