Got ramen to go and when I got home realized for $20 they gave me maybe 8oz of soup. A 2/3 full small half size container. When I get Pho to go I usually get a full tall container of soup plus the ingredients in a separate container. Called and asked and was told this is what owner instructs them to give and she can’t be contacted. Felt ripped off. It’s not like soup stock is expensive and now I have a tiny amount of soup for $20.

Used to eat here all the time and it was expensive but portions were appropriate and loved it. This time was 2 stars so giving above my feelings due to prior good soup but not coming back.

Tried them for the first time and after I was done eating I passed out in my chair. Ramen was so comforting it put me to sleep. They were also really nice even though I came in close to closing time!

There are a lot of items on the menu. But that should be seen as a warning. It's hard to excel and have so those items on the menu.

We got ramen and tteboki. Both were super salty. The eggs were not cooked properly for ramen. Portions are small.

The fish was small totally different from the pictures. It tastes old and rubbery. False advertisement.

Drove 40min to try this spot & they didn’t update their hours on google maps. Food is probably good, has decent ratings, but this is very disappointing…

They expanded their menu. Great Korean dishes as well as Japanese sushi roll. This place is great quality and probably the best priced compared to neighboring sushi restaurants. Their Korean BBQ plate is better than Mama Cho's that used to be in Castro Valley. This is the only good Korean food restaurant in Castro Valley. The sushi rolls are wonderful as well as their ramen. This place is a must try.

Very clean space and parking was easy to find. Food came out quickly and hot. I had the tempera shrimp udon soup which was delicious. It had a flavorful broth. My companions came here and ordered different ramens and crab Rangoon which they said they enjoyed. Overall, I enjoyed my experience here.

Reasonably priced and pretty good taste wise!

I I picked up the Chicken Ramen for dinner. It tasted great. The pieces of chicken were well marinated and tasty.
The broth tasted great.
The dry ingredients and the broth were kept in separate containers, which made the experience better when i got the bag home.
Probably going to have ramen from here once again.

I got the tofu ramen and it was good enough that I went back a couple days later for more.

Food is awesome. Takeout is best! The dine in experience, not so much. The food quality far out weighs their introverted vive.

Came here around 4. Food was served pretty fast and staff was friendly.
Food:
Tofu signature ramen 2/5 came with extra ramen which was nice. Broth and noodles are okay. I was expecting a good amount of a variety of veges as toppings when reading the menu but it turned out 90% of the topping was bean sprouts and only a tiny bit of wood ear mushrooms and corns and some slices of bamboo shoots.
Spicy rice cake 3/5 Korean style; spicy and sweet
