Orenchi: Reviews & Ratings
Not bas for a food court dish. The taste was well-seasoned, but the kid’s plain ramen was quite disappointed. I knew it was plain, but y could at least have some chopped scallions. Also, when we ordered, these were no more Japanese special eggs on that day, and it was only mid day.
We were so excited to try vegan ramen at this restaurant. This restaurant is inside the state street market food court. And we weren't disappointed ! Ramen came with good portion and it was tasty & filling. We also got the vegan gyoza and it was delicious. Its a bit on the expensive side but it was worth it. We will definitely go back whenever we get cravings for ramen !
Very excited to have a ramen spot in Los Altos! I've visited a few times now, and I find both styles of ramen to be delicious. It is not listed on the menu, but you can order extra noodles. The base price is on the expensive side - even relative to other ramen spots in the area - but I'll continue to eat here regularly. I'm very much looking forward to the rest of the State Street Market coming back. As of May 15, 2023, the bar is still not open, there are no sports on the TVs or the projector, and Orenchi is one of only two restaurants available. The ice cream spot and Little Sky Bakery are open, but what was once a lively spot has been eerily quiet the last few times I've visited.
Ramen is salty, savory, and a full meal. State Street Market is a noisy, upscale, food court. Somewhat better when you can sit outside.
