AFURI ramen + dumpling | Mountain View

Pretty good ramen, great karaage. Quiet location with very quick service. Had the yuzu shoyu ramen. Quite light, but had a lot of yuzu flavour. The karaage was large and super juicy.Overall, not a bad spot for a quick, decently priced bite.

Kakuni pork bun is tasty with great seared crust and flavor balance. Steamed spicy dumplings also had great flavor (surprisingly authentic Chinese) although the few breached wrappers lost its 5 star review. Would definitely revisit.

Yuzu ramen is speicial here, but it is a bit sour and different from regular rsmen. Personally i'm not a fan of it.Tontotsu ramen, karaage and pork bun are not bad. The pork is fried so not very oily.

We sat outside and had lunch The ramen was pretty good as were the fried chicken appetizers. I was especially delighted because the restaurant also provided a takeout container that separated the broth from the noodles to prevent the noddles from getting soggy and matched the decor of the bowls. I love the well designed and thoughtful touches!! Will definitely be back.

The dumplings mostly tasted oily; I know they are fried, but that flavor overwhelmed the rest. The ramen was fine; the noodles were a good texture but I found the chicken to be much less tender than the ramen place just down the street. Overall, I would come here only if I was really hungry and didn't feel like waiting for seating at another place nearby.

Yuzu Tsuyu Tsukemen is probably the best tsukemen in the Bay Area

I liked the special Ramen...they still have a sign saying soft opening, reminds me of the perpetual beta of Tesla fsd..., Inside decor is non existent... attentive service

Service is very fast. Good quality is good. I just think there are better places on Castro for the same price.

My girlfriends and I went for the first time to celebrate my friends birthday. The food and service was amazing! They were super accommodating in making my friends birthday feel special. We will definitely be coming back!!!

Came here on a Saturday morning and there was no wait to get a seat for 3 people!Good:The portion sizes are just right here! I got the kara-tsuyu tsukemen which was super tasty and had a really good amount of flavor - it wasn't really spicy which was good since I'm quite incompetent at eating spicy food. The ramen also had really chewy and tasty noodles which I appreciated a lot. There was ample dipping sauce so I never ran out and had a lot leftover.The karaage here was also very tasty and crispy - felt not super deep fried so it wasn't very heavy and this place felt healthier to me.It was also pretty fast service and we got our food within 10-15 minutes which was super good since I was starving by the time we got to the place.The service was good, we got our hot water and it came in a really cute cup.Bad:There was a lot of sun in the outdoor seating we had, but overall was a good experience!Overall would come again, I came before and will come again.

Service was great. The bun we got was great. But we both agreed the ramen was super mediocre, especially compared to the other restaurants on the same street. Unless they fix their ramen issues or put more diversity on the menu, I don't see this place lasting too long at this location. My friend didn't even want to try this place because it was empty, and I guess they were right...

Great ramen place! The service was very good. We really enjoyed the hot ramen bowl. They have really good appetizers too.

Amazing ramen. The ninniku shoyu tonkotsu is absolutely the best. Don't forget to order their karaage! Literally here eating right now.

Have been here few times now and still would love to go back. The noodles are thoughtfully cooked! Other small dishes taste great too.

Ramen was decent, but came out lukewarm which was surprising because it wasn't busy. My main gripe is with the lack of cleanliness. My water glass very clearly had lip marks all around the rim. If they cleaned it, they did a terrible job. My companion's water glass had the same issue. In normal times this is gross, but during covid this is just unacceptable.
