What a wonderful little unassuming and modest Ramen restaurant inside a mall. We were passing through on a cold rainy day, having just spent hours at the Santa Cruz children’s museum right around the corner to let our little one get her wiggles out before a long drive back to the Sacramento region. We ordered an original bowl with extra noodles to share with a 4-year-old and she loved the broth, seafood, bamboo, and the pork (as did I). The gentleman at the counter is just so sweet as well. I love supporting what looks like a small family business here.

Kaito is my favorite local Ramen restaraunt. I love especially their Tonkatsu Ramen and shrimp dumplings yummmm….Their sushi is good and fair though their specialty is Ramen so I don’t expect them to also have the best sushi. If I want sushi I go to a couple different places. I used to love Takara. Kaito used to be next door to Penny Ice Cream in a cute little restaraunt with outdoor seating. They had a better sushi set up back then. I’m grateful that they are still open for their Ramen. I order for pick up only bc the shopping mall energy isn’t congruent with eating good food! Not ideal for relaxing and digesting for sure.

Atmosphere is good, inside capitola mall, next to target and ulta. Best authentic Japanese food, last time I got ramen, this time I got udon it has all the sauce on top once you get it, you mix it all up. Delicious and fills you up. Portions are great! Everything was Super good! Spent less than 20 for everything drink, food and dessert.

It’s been 6 years since I last visited, and while it was moved into the mall, and the menu was downsized, it’s still my favorite place for ramen. Food came out quick and delicious almost as if not a thing has changed. Very thankful that this place is still around.

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.

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.
