“Ordered through the Snackpass app, so I could just pick it up directly when I get there. Worked out since the parking lot is an extremely small lot to the side, not a big plaza. They have two designated parking spots for U Cha customers, but the first time I went, both were taken, so I parked on the other end temporarily. Their classic milk tea is pretty good, I would get it again if I was in the area! The honey boba was soft and chewy, I don't have any complaints on the pearls. However, I would not recommend getting a hot drink from here. The cups for hot drinks are not the best quality and the lid keeps falling off, so unfortunately I had spilled some of my drink on my car. The chicken katsu sando, I highly recommend!! It tasted better than I expected! Compared to katsu sandwiches you can get from like the Asian market, U Cha's is definitely better for about the same cost. It's got a nice crispy outside and juicy inside. I would definitely get it again. Their Tokyo fries were good, however spicy mayo is just not a flavor I personally like, so next time I would just get the fries by itself.“

“The staff are great, but the ramen is something that anyone could make at home. If I’m going to a ramen shop, it better be something that I can’t find anywhere else! ?With that said, I would recommend them putting more flavor into the ramen broths because they taste plain. The blackened garlic should certainly taste blackened. The miso should taste stronger. ??“

“I come here all the time! It's such a great alternative to regular hot pot because you get to choose what ingredients you want :) highly recommend if you're super picky about what's in your soup. The staff are always super nice and greet you with a smile. I will note: most of the service is self-serve so you're expected to make your own sauces and get your own drinks. Overall, I love bringing friends and family here because everyone leaves full and happy“

“Oh fish is sensational. Not only is it a local favorite, it's affordable and high quality Japanese cuisine. I love their sushi, I feel like that's what they specialize in--there udon is also yummy. I haven't had their ramen yet but I'm definitely looking forward to trying it. The staff here is amazing, really nice and attentive. It's a small interior but they always accommodate with your group. Additionally, there's to-go orders readily available.“

“This is kind of an out of the way spot which is taking over an old pho restaurant.I flew in late to Oakland airport, I need something warm and homey. Frankly, I was itching for a good ramen. Having lived in the Bay Area many years, I knew I could find something like that.This place wasn't too far off of my path, and it was late and they were still open.Walking in the place is fairly unassuming, yet there is still some customers there. Almost that closing. I asked quickly if it was too late to grab a ramen, the kind gal could be said please have a seat.Looking around, I saw several tables that were covered with dirty dishes and uneaten food. Well that wasn't necessarily a great first impression, at least they had a good rush.Sitting down I received a menu, and a glass of cold water.Looking at the menu there was a variety of ramens to choose from, and so I went to my go-to Tonkotsu. Almost nothing better than a Tonkotsu with Chashu late at night. Done that many times after hours in Tokyo.Anyway I had to add Gyoza as a side to complete it.First come out the gyoza, and their fried on all sides. That is not my first choice, and this is very common when prepared by non-Japanese. I bit in, and while decent, they were not great. But the Ramen came out, and I was very excited. It smelled right, the broth was piping hot, and there was several good pieces of Chashu.First, I sip the broth. It was good and hot. Second, I slurped the noodles, they are firm, warm, and perfect flavor. I grab a little sneak bite of a Chashu, It's warm, nice savory flavor, and a good thick piece. I'm pleased. I dive in. Before I knew it the ramen was gone, Gyoza, pretty much gone, and I was very full. The broth was nice and hardy, with a savory thick flavor, and simply it was a calming experience before hitting the hotel.For me my final question is always "would I go back?" The answer is a definite yes. Though I probably would not get the gyoza. But if you're looking for a good ramen, I recommend.“

Edamame

“AMAZING quality, a clean ambiance, great service and family friendly. We came for lunch and the rolls we ordered were delicious and the sushi/fish was all so so fresh. The staff was ever so warm, inviting and attentive -- we had a 2 year old with us so eating out can become a thing, but their kiddo friendly options were a hit and the staff checked in on us frequently and never made us feel like "that" family. My two year old had a California roll (real crab, little bits of cucumber and generous avo!), udon noodles and he even killed my miso soup side. We're hoping to come back here for a date night (beautiful interior) to try out some other items from their menu and what looks to be a very generously stocked bar and drink options. Thank you, Kinja!“

“Tonkotsu - this is a pretty good bowl of ramen overall. The broth was missing some extra "oomphf" of milkiness that I was hoping for. The standard serving does not include menma which I feel like is essential to a traditional tonkotsu... the chasu had more of a smokiness, grilled flavor as opposed to the sweet caramelization from the sake/ mirin marinating one may typically expect. All said, this is solid for the Bay Area in my experience but maybe not a recreation of tonkotsu ramen you would get in Japan. There was a richness to the broth and noodles were perfectly cooked!Karaage - plump, super juicy, big pieces of perfectly brined chicken. The batter has less crunch and more crisp, something captured perfectly here. Served with a bit of cabbage, a really sweet kewpie mayo, and a shishito. I loved this and gets perfectly dunked in a bowl of ramen lol.Takoyaki - Less tako, more yaki. I would say the filled contents are probably 5% tako if that. I ate these and did not get a chew of octopus at least twice... though, cooked and topped perfectly with a great flavor.Service was friendly and prompt, and left us to enjoy all aspects of the meal. These dishes and some tea were about $75 for two with tip.“

“Went here for my birthday recently. Couldn't get over how good that food was. I think i might've had a dream about it after. This could be one of the best sushi restaurants in the east bay, especially after so many places closed since covid or went under new management. The service was excellent, i loved the traditional decor, but the food. THE FOOD! So fresh and beautiful, perfect smell and color. I'll definitely come back.“

“My first time here for lunch. A two-item combo plate is reasonably priced. I ordered sashimi with teriyaki salmon. The three slices of sashimi were salmon, tuna and yellowtail. Yellowtail had a dallop of ground ginger/garlic which greatly enhanced the taste. I found it amazing that the chef paid attention to such small portion of a lunch. My friend who ordered Hamachi Kama said the portion was the largest she ever seen in the area. It was delicious, too.“

“I order to go a couple items from the menu, the Black Garlic Ramen, Kara-age and gyoza. I opted to make the ramen spicy it wasn’t spicy at lot had a lot of flavor but it tasted something kinda burnt so I’m not sure if that it’s always like that or not but over all I did like the ramen. The chicken Kara-age was so good specially when it was dipped in the spicy mayo. The gyoza were really good crunchy but soft and lots of flavor.“

“I honestly like the drinks here they are unique for some of them that adds a twist along with some interesting toppings I haven’t seen in other boba stores . had the orange lychee that is good with red bean pearls and ordered the popcorn chicken and salt and pepper tofu , both food was alright but for the price of 9.50 for the chicken I expected more meat not fatty pieces better go to quality like itea for that price . The tofu was good not exactly crunchy but had a more soft tofu texture with Unami flavor both was soggy when I took it home for my siblings to try outParking: Not too many surround by other shops“

“Been here more than several times. Today, I visited on a Tuesday at 12:30p and was able to be seated immediately. I always enjoy their fried chicken cartilage and Tantanmen Ramen. The chicken cartilage is super crunchy and not oily. Usually, they serve it with a Japanese aioli type sauce on the side, but not today, however I did not miss it....more unneeded calories! The ramen noodles are nice & chewy, the broth is flavorful, and there are many ingredients making it almost stew-like. Delicious! Oh, and excellent service always!!“
