Ramen Parlor in San Mateo

I like ramen, of course. Who wouldn't?
However, the thick ramen soup is sometimes too heavy for me so I was looking for ramen with good flavor but not greasy soup.

JC found a place in San Mateo called Ramen Parlor.
They have seafood base soup and this sounded promising.
Actually, we tried to go this place last year but gave up because the line was huge, so this was our second try.

The storefront looks more like pancake house than ramen shop.
They open at 5:30 for dinner. When we got there around 5:34, there was already a line.
We waited for 30 minutes, but they took our order while we were waiting so we got the bowl of ramen only 5 minutes after we sat down.

I ordered Lobster Soy Sauce Flavor.

The soup definitely had good lobster flavor.
It was deep, flavorful but not greasy. Noodle had good texture. Chashu was good, too.
...Unfortunately, it was too salty for me.

JC ordered Lobster Pork Flavor. He would have liked Soy Sauce flavor better because the rich pork flavor covered up the more delicate lobster flavor.
You can choose the level of spiciness here but I would say to choose Mild with the same reason.

It was good ramen. I was full but didn't feel too heavy or sick. I wish it could have been less salty.
