Scratch-made ramen worth the stop between Mariposa and Yosemite
Little Shop of Ramen sits in downtown Mariposa and has built a strong local following — a 4.3-star average across nearly 500 reviews, with visitors regularly saying they didn't expect ramen this good in a small town. The broth and noodles are made from scratch, and it's become a regular stop for travelers heading to or from Yosemite on Highway 140.
Little Shop of Ramen is closed Mondays and open 11 a.m. to 9 p.m., Tuesday through Sunday. It's moderately priced casual dining. One review mentions the same building also hosts wine tasting — a historic space with a friendly, knowledgeable owner — worth asking about if you have time to spare. Another regular describes staff member Kim remembering them on repeat visits, even though they're only in town around the holidays.
It's closed Mondays and open Tuesday through Sunday from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m.
One reviewer recommends the miso ramen ordered medium spicy — real heat, without it overwhelming the broth.
It's a moderately priced, casual sit-down spot — extras like an extra egg or bamboo shoots run $1 each.
Yes — Mariposa sits along the route to and from Yosemite, and one reviewer specifically describes stopping in on the way home from the park and being surprised by the quality.

We did not like this ramen! It tastes fine but it is not ramen. The noodles were like undercooked spaghetti noodles, not ramen noodles at all. The broth was fine but i’ve had way better. Then the waitress was not friendly, but maybe she had a bad day, it definitely seemed like it. The other waiter was very friendly though. I would not recommend going here

Amazing service, amazing ramen. Hot and spicy, but not too spicy. Our waitress was amazing. Great atmosphere. You would never expect this kind of an experience in such a small town!
