Kotetsu Ramen in Santa Clara
Last week was the grand opening for Kotetsu, located in a strip mall at 2089 El Camino Real, Santa Clara, CA 95050.
Service was wonderful -- should be the standard in all restaurants!
I went on Saturday near the end of the lunch service. First impression was that many of the servers wore Shalala t-shirts. Second impression was of short menu - 3 ramen choices: tonkotsu-shoyu; tonkotsu-shio; and vegetable. Gyozas and other sides or appetizers.
Ordered tonkotsu-shio ramen and gyozas. Ramen broth tasted muddy and strong-flavored in a bad way. Noodles (ok spring and cut short), spinach, bamboo, nori square, and half an egg (cooked properly I think). I will never order that bowl again if I return.
Gyozas were light in flavor and the half of the skins ruptured on their plate.
First week? Different style for me? Cannot say. YMMV

Wondering if anyone else has tried Kotetsu post-first week jitters?
