What happened after Man v. Food?

The San Jose episode (aired 2019-11-05) also featured Masa Ramen Noodle Bar, a ramen restaurant that operated at 864 Blossom Hill Road in San Jose. Man v. Food's visit centered on the restaurant's specialty ramen bowls, according to episode-fan site foodiepie.com, which lists the stop as part of the same San Jose segment as Falafel's Drive-In and The Funny Farm. A Yelp listing for the address, updated July 2026, shows the restaurant marked permanently closed, and a Groupon page for a similarly named "Masa Ramen And Sake Bar" at the same Blossom Hill Road address suggests the business may also have operated under a slightly different name at some point. No dated news coverage of a closure was located during this research; the closure is documented here only through the Yelp listing.
