Nice to see a place that takes to go seriously. They actually wait for you to arrive to give it the final cook so it is good when it gets home. I will definitely order from them again.

Yuzu is my favorite ramen restaurant and one of my favorite restaurants period!! The ramen is incredible. My favorite is the miso ramen, but everything I have tried has been great. The broth is so flavorful. They have a really cute patio for outdoor dining during COVID and everyone who works there is so friendly!

Purchased the veggie (vegan when they remove the egg) Ramen which tastes good. Extremely disappointed with the portion size of protein provided here for the price. Tofu is easily the cheapest of the any of the protein options a restaurant can offer and yet I found a measly four small pieces of tofu in my ramen container. Also given the fact that they vegan-ize this by simply removing the egg, you'd expect a substitution with more tofu or Edamame. I hope Yuzu changes there approach here. I can't recommend this place given the cost and the portion sizes for protien at the current moment.

We drove 3 hours just to get the ramen they serve, it's amazing. For me the portions are just right cause then you can get an appetizer. Granted we were bummed to find out that the San Rafael location closed cause it is closer BUT not only were we satisfied with the food the flavors were as authentic as my boyfriend can remember from the time he lived in Japan.The service was also very nice and we felt very well taken care of they even didn't rush us out even though they were closing! If you are in the area and looking for good authentic ramen this is definitely the place toEat at! I highly recommend the Pork Gyoza, Hokkaido Miso Ramen with the spicy oil, and Pork Yakimeshi

Enjoyed our dining experience. They are taking proper Covid precautions and have a spacious patio. The ramen bowls were flavorful and came out quickly. My only complaint is that the meat slices in the ramen were very thin so I was still a little hungry after.

Excellent ramen shop. The staff is really kind, the patio is very pleasant, and the team has really stepped up the already amazing food game during shelter-in-place. I love the ramen and the fried rice. The menu changes a bit every day, which is exciting, and they even sell meal kits to make the dishes at home. I love coming here and feel very good about supporting an excellent local business.

Yuzu is my favorite restaurant to take friends and visitors to in Emeryville! Their broths are delicious and the staff is always friendly and polite. During the pandemic, I've only been able to do takeaway of course, but they have still maintained their quality. Love the daily specials!No parking lot, but there is free street parking and also a free parking garage across the street.
Super authentic and delicious ramen with fresh sashimi, very satisfying meal and quick service. Thanks for helping me charge my phone too!

A nice ramen spot with dog-friendly outdoor seating and very polite staff. Came on a Friday night, making a Yelp reservation just 30 mins beforehand! Everything felt clean and appropriately spaced with heat lamps if it gets cold. Got the tonkotsu and Hokkaido miso ramen ($13.95). Both broths were very umami with the Hokkaido miso being very thick and rich. I preferred the lighter tonkotsu broth they're known for. Each bowl had a perfectly soft boiled ramen egg and 3 ultra thin slices of pork belly. Or if you're my boyfriend, who just ate the meat in one go, 1 piece.Unfortunately, the menu and toppings have been slimmed down. There wasn't nearly enough meat, but what's in the bowl melts in your mouth! Noodles are the thin straight variety cooked slightly al dente. The ramen was just missing that extra oomph and color - like some corn, pepper, bamboo or seaweed. I could've added extra toppings, but I like ordering something and having it feel complete. If Yuzu could list a deluxe option like marufuku, lazy patrons like me would just pick that.They didn't have any desserts or the gobo karaage that I had really wanted to try, so will come back post-COVID to get the full experience. If you have a cat or dog, you can get some take out broth for your furry friend ($7.50)! Or stay-at-home ramen kits to treat your human ($13.50).

Don't try the complimentary soup. Very fishy. The noodles are amazing and fresh. A little pricey at $55 for 2.35 Do it once in a while. Space respected.

I feel very lucky to live near Yuzu Ramen and be able to indulge in excellent sushi takeout during this very strange time. I just enjoyed some wonderfully rich maguro chu-toro nigiri (my favorite) and an outstanding unagi donburi. I've ordered many of their other sushi items over the past couple months (buri sashimi, sake nigiri, omakase donburi), and they were all very fresh and delicious.The staff are all incredibly nice and welcoming, they've prepared very clear signage to help you navigate the current safety expectations, and they offer great deals on special menu items. There is something new every time I check out the menu!I look forward to trying their ramen as well - it's in their name, but I get distracted by so many great sushi options! There's only so much room in my belly, unfortunately. :)
Excellent rich broths and handmade noodles.
