“Ordered the Tonkotsu soup ramen with thick noodles and less salt for myself and the black garlic soup ramen with thick noodles and less salt for hubby. The black garlic ramen was most flavourful. Both soup was rich and thick and the fried black garlic was fragrant. The pork slices were thick and soft. Have to say the ramen was tasty and satisfying, authentic to Japan. Have a try for yourself“

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.“

“Yuzu ramen was light and citrusy - great contrast to the typical heavy broth ramen you usually get. Kakiage and tea were both tasty as well. Our table split a matcha parfait at the end -- might have struggled to eat one solo. They don't do reservations -- prepare for the Yelp waitlist!“

“Ramen Arashi is easily one of my new favorite spots in Fremont. The food is legit. I ordered the Arashi ramen and it was super flavorful — rich broth without being too heavy, and the chashu was soft and tender. The noodles had the perfect chew, and the bowl came out piping hot, which I loved.
I also tried the karaage and it surprised me. Super crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and not greasy at all. Portion size was really generous too. Even the side toppings were fresh and well-seasoned.
Service was fast and friendly, and the prices are reasonable for the quality. I already want to go back and try more from the menu. If you’re anywhere near Fremont and craving ramen, this spot is a must-try.“

“Awesome food and great experience. Family loved it. Special call out to Ethan who was a server par excellence. There were multiple times he anticipated what we or kids needed (trainer for chopsticks, bowl for us, juice for kids!) Great place!!“

“The bowls here are hands-down some of the best value you’ll find—generous, flavorful, and totally satisfying. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, making the whole experience even better. The food itself is literally irresistible. Every bite of the teokbokki was packed with bold, spicy flavor, and paired perfectly with a cold beer. It’s the kind of spot that’s perfect for a late-night hangout—casual, fun, and full of energy. The vibe of sitting, eating, and sipping while enjoying the atmosphere is just unbeatable.
Whether you’re stopping by for a quick bite or looking to hang out with friends late into the night, this place hits all the marks. Delicious food, great drinks, welcoming staff, and a chill, lively environment make it one of those spots you’ll want to return to again and again.“

“This is the first time to dine in the restaurant. We ordered 3 items to share: a huge Omelette Rice, a curry rice and a ramen. Omelette rice was delicious, beef curry soup was different from others as it had only beef, no others. Ramen was also good. Good service, too.
*We went there the second time and ordered different items. The beef fried rice was so delicious. We also ordered a different ramen and of course, a huge Omelette rice. Wonderful!“

“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!“

“Got the house special garlic tonkotsu; broth was very one dimensional but the bowl made up for it with sheer volume of toppings. Egg was a little overcooked but still gooey, noodles were thin style and done well. Service was prompt and professional.
Come for the toppings, stay for the noods.
Would return for a quick bowl again.“

“Good enough size for lunch (at least, for me). Soup is tasty and noodles are served just in a right manner. (I like a bit stiff one).“

“We went close to closing time, the creamy vegan ramen took some time to arrive, but it was delicious and worth the wait. Even after closing time, the staff patiently allowed us to finish our meal and were very polite throughout.
Excellent service overall.“

“An surprisingly great underrated Ramen spot. A short walk from my parent’s was this tiny no frills Ramen and Tea restaurant. Dude was playing smooth Jazz. Cool artwork on the walls, plus the low key mess from working made it amazing. I felt like was some unassuming Tokyo suburb that simply serves great food.“

“Probably the best ramen I’ve had! Very nice staff, quick service. The tip is included automatically (which is great from my point of view). Really loved the place! And especially the food (I got the regular tonkotsu ramen and it was incredible!). Water is also nice (I don’t remember what exactly they add to it, but it was refreshing and nice to have this instead of regular tap water in other places). Definitely recommend everyone in the area!“

“Love the ramen here! So flavorful! Noodles has the right amount of chewiness. This past visit, I found out that they also offer pork cheek in addition to chashu. The pork cheek did not disappoint! Totally recommend this place even if you don't like noodles - they also sell smaller rice bowls.“

“Ramen was tasty but we got level 2 spicy (out of 4 levels 0 1 2 3) which was too spicy for us so I’d go with no spicy or level 1 spicy in the future. I got extra chashu on mine.
The vibe/atmosphere is nice too with the paintings on the wall and nice background jazz music playing it gives cozy Japanese hole in the wall vibes.“

“Very good, especially when comparing to other options in the Sunnyvale area where it's kinda slim pickins. My mum is Japanese and would approve of the food here, although not give it a 5-star rating as I am doing. Mine is actually a 4.75 but let's be sweet today.
The pork donburi was delicate in flavour and hit the spot. Wish the egg wasn't icy cold. The fried stickers were a bit too fried. The karaage was PERFECT and so was the takoyaki. Great decor and noise level. Guy waiting on us was ace!“

“Excellent food and service! Some of the most authentic Chinese noodles I ever had. I have traveled to China before and had these dishes. The food here is just as good. Further, the dishes here are regional based (Central China). That means not many Chinese restaurants have these wonderful spices/ flavors. Highly recommended!!“

“One of the best Ramen Place in Fremont or even Bay Area. I've been to different ramen places and so far, their Ramen is still my best ramen I've ever had. Not many ramen places makes the soup base tasty and made fresh. Bodo is made fresh and that's why it might take a bit longer. It's worth the wait. Their service is pretty good and the place is very neat. They serves different Japanese dishes as well. Plenty of choices. Try it and you won't be disappointed. I strongly recommend to my family and friends. Weekdays, they always have line outside, especially during lunch time. Give them a try. Bon appetit.“

“Aburi Shime Saba: (5/5)
The aburi shime saba is the best thing on the menu. It’s lightly poached and the caramelized sugar on top adds the perfect contrast of texture and flavor. I’ve been here a few times to try the appetizers, but the MUST GET item is still this saba.
Uzumakiya Udon: (4/5)
The Uzumakiya Udon is good,the noodles are chewy, not overcooked; and the broth is flavorful. The other toppings leave something to be desired, so if you want to be satisfied, order the Oxtail instead. (Although it’s gotten quite expensive😔)“

“Great little spot for Yunnan rice noodles. I got the Dali Intestines rice noodles and they were fantastic. It was fresh, flavourful, and generously portioned. The broth especially was very flavourful and had just the right spice level. The noodles had just the right texture and weren't too soft. Definitely worth checking out.“

“Wadaya hasn't left my mind yet. I love that the noodles are thicker than Kajiken. It makes for a chewier bite which I prefer. I'd say the taste is similar to Kajiken but maybe the flavor at Kajiken is a bit better. I definitely like the noodles here more. The absolute star of the show is the tiny scoop of rice they give you at the end to mix in with your extra sauce. I wasn't a believer at first until I actually tried it. Best bite ever. Holy.“

“I recently visited a ramen restaurant, and here are my impressions.
First of all, the atmosphere was very cozy and casual, creating the perfect setting for enjoying the food. The menu offered a variety of ramen options, and I chose the classic chicken ramen.
When my dish arrived, I was impressed by its size. The noodles were average in taste, but that's an acquired taste. The only downsides were the water glasses and the toilet, which weren't very clean. I wouldn't come back.“

“I recently tried Mala Town 麻辣烫, and it was a fantastic experience. The best part is being able to customize your own bowl — you pick exactly what ingredients you want, from fresh vegetables and tofu to different meats and noodles. Everything tasted very fresh and the variety of options was great.
The broth was rich, aromatic, and perfectly spicy. It had that authentic Sichuan-style mala flavor — numbing, fragrant, and deeply satisfying. You can also adjust the spice level, which makes it great whether you prefer mild or extra spicy.
The staff were friendly and the service was quick. The restaurant was clean and well organized, making the whole experience very comfortable. It’s a great spot if you’re craving authentic Chinese comfort food.
Overall, Mala Town is a great place for flavorful, customizable mala tang. I’ll definitely be coming back!“
