Ramen Restaurants near Hayward, CA

“Wow! Boyfriend and I just left and what a hidden gem. I am not exaggerating when I say we ate the best Dragon Roll I've ever had. Perfectly crispy tempura, fresh, and everything made by just one employee. From taking our order to providing us with amazing food he seriously went above and beyond. We will definitely be back!“

“This is the ramen place you are craving. My sister and I have been in search for some great ramen since our previous fav place changed owners. Haha is absolutely positively amazing in every way. Our roll was so fresh and the squid balls were hot and yummy! THE RAMEN. Spicy garlic tonkatsu, my oh MY. The broth is so rich, every bite was infused! The perfect balance of spicy and savory! The people are so incredibly kind and attentive. The atmosphere, affordable prices, portions, flavors 10/10.“

“😋😋 good eating experience“

“I was craving a good ramen for such a long time, and omg this place did not disappoint. We landed up reaching there a little after lunch time and still the staff was so nice and helpful. I ordered the tonkotsu tan tan ramen medium spicy (level 2) and it was soooooo delicious. I enjoyed each and every bite. The other person with me had the spicy miso pork chachsu ramen with level 3 spice. It came piping hot and hit the spot.
The ambiance was very warm and welcoming. Nice light music and great lighting.
I would recommend this place for a nice ramen experience, especially when they are so quick with their service. You will enjoy every morsel.
I am definitely coming back here for more ramen and trying other dishes. Looking forward to next time!“

“Our favorite place for a date night in Union City! Fantastic menu choices and delicious food every time.“

“I order 3.6lb of food, and it’s lowkey expensive, it’s like 50dollars, so if you don’t want to eat a lot, then you are welcome, but if you want to eat a lot, then go to the store like all you can eat or other store“

“Kaisen Don is a true joy. Owned and led by a trained chef from Japan and served by friendly and knowledgeable staff. They have a wide selection of food, not just sushi. They have a very good selection of Sake and beer and offer three sample flights of Sake to let you learn more about the drink. You can always ask for recommendations to go with your meal. We've eaten in and taken out and have never had a bad meal from Kaisen Don. They are a regular stop for my family, and we take friends and family there from time to time as well.“

“I like the quality of their ramen. The portion, the thickness of the char siew and the onsen egg, delicious! If i can suggest one thing, it will the hotness of the soup. They have to serve it piping hot and it will be bring heaven to earth. We ate there today and the soup is just warm.. so maybe next time i visit here i hope they will make it more hot. Thanks!“

“The imitation crab tastes incredible!!

The chicken katsu was sadly overcooked.

But the simplicity of the bento boxes is quite striking.

The atmosphere though, the music was a bit too loud and only coming from one corner rather than the whole place.“

“Don't expect anything fancy, but you can expect good, friendly and quick service with tasty, authentic selections. It's small and unassuming, but we trusted the local reviews and are happy we did! For those looking for sushi, they have a unique variety of salmon, hamachi and shrimp based roles.“

“The sushi here is seriously good - fresh ingredients, creative rolls you won’t find anywhere else. The Fuji Roll? Absolutely delicious. Prices are reasonable, and the staff is friendly, even if the vibe inside feels a bit cramped and could use a deeper clean. It’s a small spot, so I’d recommend takeout or delivery over dining in. For the quality of food though, it’s worth it.“

“I've eaten at this location a handful of times and the staff are very patient here. I've seen customers unintentionally leave a huge mess on the tables and floors after eating. Another customer on a different occasion came in asking for something off menu and they politely informed them it couldn't be made. No rolling eyes, no condescending tone. Just a gentle straightforward answer.

I usually order the tonkotsu ramen and it isn't the best I've ever had, but the way they make it here is very consistent, delicious, and satisfying. 5 stars for their predictable service, reliable meals, combined with polite and patient staff.“

“Best and most underrated ramen in the Bay! The broth is so flavorful, the texture of the noodles is perfect, and the pork belly is so crispy. Good portions for the price and the owners/service are great. My personal fav is the TanTan! Can be a little salty so request less salt :)“

“We had a great experience the food is fresh and the steak is tender the salmon was just right. Your recommendation is forwarded to Facebook“

“If you're craving for Japanese in San Leandro or anywhere in the East Bay, this is the spot. Open late night is a fantastic bonus! The quality of food for a place open past 10pm was a great surprise.
The huge menu has something for everyone. Sashimi, specialty sushi rolls, nigiri, ramen, tempura, bento combos, and yakatori! And plenty of beer and sake to wash it all down.“

“Everything is fresh. Very nice presentation.“

“My friend and I got the Mentaiko soupless ramen, shishito peppers, takowasa, squid legs tempura and the hokkaido crepe. Everything was delicious. Ramen was rich and creamy with a hint of spiciness. Our appetizers were all delicious, flavorful and the squid legs were so crispy. I love the texture from the takowasa, crunchy and had a chew to it. Our servers were very sweet and helpful. I will definitely come back here if I visit again.“

“Meh. My expectations weren't high but it's a beautiful restaurant and not crowded. Ordered one bowl of ramen and a side of rice. After 20 mins of waiting I was shocked that the ramen was lukewarm. So sad! Obviously ate it but not once was approached by staff for a fork, or a refill or even the bill. Had to stand at the front podium and wait to be given the bill. I'm sure people like this place. I've been to better and won't come back here.“

“Hay Tea is a delightful spot for a refreshing drink! Their bubble teas are perfectly crafted with fresh ingredients and a great balance of sweetness. The menu offers a wide variety, and the staff is always friendly and efficient. A perfect treat to cool down or just enjoy!“
