KAITO - Japanese restaurant in Capitola - 1855 41st Avenue Food Court In The Capitola Mall, USA

First time at the Ramon Kaito. Its located in the Capitola Mall food court. When I saw they had sushi on the menu, I had to try it. Its not just noodles here. Im soo glad I stopped by to eat. I really liked the shrimp tempura roll. $9.50 and Im definately coming back. They made it fresh , even the tempura was fresh crunchy. I love sushi, Im soo glad to have found another local spot that makes a shrimp roll to my liking. The food court in the Capitola mall has a huge dining room to eat in. Very clean with restrooms available.

One review said this is the best ramen in Santa Cruz (the only one). I agreed with it, the ramen tasted really not bad. The soup was good, chashu was good, corn was fresh and sweet. Their sushi was also great. I guess whenever I want to eat ramen. I will be back here.

Not a real ramen. Came here due to the positive reviews It’s in a food court. Ordered to dine in but served in to-go plastic containers with the toppings in a separate plastic plate. Cheap short wooden chopsticks and a little spoon, no condiments. Pork chasu was hard and bland. Chicken karage was tasty but the ramen only a little bit better than instant noodles. Overpriced for a ripoff. Just buy instant ramen from 7/11

Kaito is such wonderful ramen and sushi. I sure do miss their 41st location but am grateful they found a way to survive the pandemic and moved into the mall. Their ramen is my favorite for a cozy night at home with a movie. I love the spicy miso raman, spicy garlic and black garlic raman. Also their gluten free ramen is not just rice noodles! Its really great!!!

Tonkotsu ramen broth tastes like it was mixed with cream, so it doesn’t taste like tonkotsu ramen… Shashu pork was okay, but the portion is miserable. Japanese curry was good. Spoons are ridiculously small

epic! we love their takoyaki, I hope I will love their sushi next time and yes, we loved their ramen so dang much. I’m happy for you Capitola people! This is such a nice and lovely spot to dine in. Good food, great service, cute staff, and you know… The homemade ice-cream shop next door, ‘Penny’s Ice-creamery’ More info on Way Beyond Pad Thai site and Youtube Channel :)

Came here because my in-laws swore by the amazing ramen you can find here. They are locals, and my husband and I love to visit and try all their favorite restaurants when we’re in town. Kaito means ‘meeting’ in Japanese. We had a delightful experience sitting out on their patio, during the perfect time before sunset. It was warm and not too breezy. Surrounded by succulents and passion fruit vines, it was such a nice setting. They serve traditional style tonkotsu ramen, which hails from the Southern prefecture of Fukuoka in Japan. Their broth contains a mix of chicken and pork, but they do have a vegan broth available upon request. Add all kinds of toppings like a soft boiled egg (highly recommended) and sea veggies. They have a full sushi bar so you can enjoy sashimi and fresh hand rolls of your choice. Our waiter was very nice. I ordered hot green tea and the refills were welcomed and soothing. Price-wise, it is not cheap. For 3 bowls of ramen and tip, it came out to be over $70.

I am never disappointed. The ramen is sooooo good!! Thank you for your friendly, kind, and warm service. Knowledgeable staff regarding different options. we love the expanded menu options that you have added.
