“If you are the one who is not comfortable eating with chopsticks then this restaurant is not for you. They gave me plastic fork to eat that hot hot ramen. so if you wanna then take your own fork 🙏🏻I would request restaurant to keep good quality forks not plastics ones“

“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.“

“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!!“

“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!“

“I was looking for a ramen spot I hadn’t tried before and came across this place, which has solid reviews on Google and opened just last September.
When we walked in during lunch, there was only one table occupied, which made me a bit unsure at first—but after trying the food, my impression completely changed.
The noodles are thin and slightly curly, cooked to a perfect texture.
We ordered the tonkotsu broth, which is not overly rich but instead light and smooth, making it very easy to enjoy. The spicy garlic ramen was also well-balanced, flavorful without being overwhelming.
The chashu was a highlight, with a noticeable grilled aroma, and the soft-boiled egg was perfectly done.
If you’re looking for a well-balanced, easy-to-enjoy ramen spot, this place is definitely worth a try.“

“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).“

“Hinodeya has become one of my favorite’s for vegan ramen. They offer three different vegan options for ramen. All three are solid flavors. And a handful of vegan appetizers as well. Hinodeya’s good flavor is consistent visit after visit. Great spot to come with non-veg friends as there is something for everyone. Pro-tip: add extra innari to your ramen! Also love that they stay open late on weekends. Updated from previous review on 2026-03-28“

“The quality has changed since the beginning. Still good but felt like it was lacking something when I’ve tried it in the past. I’m not sure what it is exactly. Use to love coming here since you can shop at the same time and get ice cream.“

“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.“

“What a hidden gem! The snowflake potstickers are so crispy and juicy, best enjoyed in the restaurant! My son gets so excited to go here before his baseball practice. My daughter loves their soup dumplings, and the fried rice is our family favorite. Staff is always kind.“

“This place is one of the most underrated restaurants ever in the bay. The udon noodles are a little pricey and the menu doesn't have much variety but the food is one of a kind. Their udon is the best I've had anywhere in the city and is on the same level as those restaurants in Japan.“

“Food was excellent. My brother and I ordered the Ramen combo with skewers. Each came with a free milk tea and almond tofu dessert. (We didn't realize the milk tea and almond tofu came with our meal. The server was very attentive to detail and made sure all our needs were met. Only gripe was it seemed that the chicken skewer only had sauce and wasn't seasoned. The mustard greens on the ramen was a nice touch to cut the richness of the broth. Will definitely come back 😁“

“Great rice noodle spot! The portions are super generous — they really don’t hold back on the toppings. Every bowl is loaded with ingredients, and you definitely get great value for what you pay.
Everything tasted fresh and flavorful, and the broth was rich without being too heavy. It’s the kind of place that leaves you feeling full and satisfied.
Will definitely be coming back!“

“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!“
