Two New Exciting Businesses In downtown Atascadero that you'll love

Two fresh faces are now in downtown Atascadero, and you're going to love them! One for your stomach, one for your home. Curious? Let's check them out!

Momotaro Ramen & Izakaya - Sip, Slurp, Repeat

When you step into Momotaro Ramen & Izakaya, you're transported into an izakaya tucked into the back alley of Tokyo. Warm, lively, with a dash of the unexpected. This new restaurant in downtown Atascadero, is bringing traditional Japanese ramen to San Luis Obispo County. With house-made broths and carefully crafted bowls and small Japanese plates paired with beer and sake, it's no wonder their opening day had a line going out the door!

Inspired by the beloved Japanese folktale Momotaro, a story passed down by their co-founder’s grandmother Yuriko. Their restaurant remains rooted in tradition, storytelling

and the spirit of bringing people together. That foundation continues to guide them as they evolve.

At its heart, Momotaro Ramen & Izakaya is more than a restaurant; it's a place to gather. Friends can share a late-night bite or drinks and enjoy everything our amazing town has to offer.

What to expect at Momotaro Ramen & Izakaya

• House-made broths, built from bones up, real from-scratch ramen.

• Izakaya-style small plates, expanding beyond ramen into Japanese small bites.

• An expanded beer and sake program, complete with Chuhai cocktails (shochu highballs).

• A space designed to feel like a back-alley izakaya in Tokyo. The second you walk in, downtown Atascadero fades away.
