   Great spot for lunch or dinner; wonderful ambience, and outstanding service. Interesting menu that includes a selection of traditional Japanese, vegetarian and vegan options.

   Best ramen and tea north of San Francisco, possibly in the whole greater bay area.

   I've never had boiled chicken in ramen before usually sliced BBQ pork. The noodles were very good. The flavor of soup very good. All toppings were cold.

   A gem in Healdsburg, with excellent ramen and a vast tea selection. The staff is wonderful and this is a great place to take a break from the wine and booze scene.

   Open Table made the process of securing a table super easy. The Taste of Tea was a wonderful place to dine. My guest and I enjoyed the beautiful and delicious Sake cocktails, ambiance, service and great food. Our server Kendahl (usually the bartender) was Awesome!!! She really knows her teas and we went home with a couple of packs to enjoy the next day. I have other friends I think will appreciate this experience and hope to be back in the near future!!

   They weren’t busy but the service was poor and slow. I think the portion size is small for the price. I liked the ingredients in the salad but it was overdressed. Miso ramen lacked character and was too salty; also only one small piece of meat.

    As a local, I am sorry I waited this long to experience eating here. The staff were well trained, very friendly and the food was excellent. Great job. I look forward to coming back often.
