We love Morinoto owner restaurants and the Ramen is by far my favorite in the San Jose area. The broth does not disappoint on the Tonkatau. The popcorn shrimp also is a favorite and served in many of his restaurants.

Fifteen of us were warmly welcomed for lunch at two tables. With a vast menu, the gluten-free person and the vegetarian at our table were satisfied. The food was brought quickly and overall was very flavorful. I enjoyed the fish with veggies. The salt & pepper tofu was crispier than I’ve had but tasty. Overall, everyone enjoyed the afternoon.
