Ramen Restaurants near Newark, CA

“From the street view you would never guess this cozy ramen spot was hiding back here. I’m so glad we have a Hinodeya in this side of the bay! The interior is so welcoming and nicely arranged. You order from your phone at your table, and the food comes out hot and fast.

I was pleasantly by the number of vegan options on the menu! The yuzu ramen was refreshing and so good. I would also recommend some soft serve if you’re craving a sweet treat. I would definitely come back here to try more.“

“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!“

“As usual, Ramen Nagi has a long wait. Sometimes there are lulls in the line, which is when I happened to get in. The line is outside, so be prepared for the weather. When you get close to the front, they give you a sheet to fill out on what you want. I got the squid ink with everything the usual except with lower sodium and a 4 on spice. I should have asked for more spice, 4 was not that spicy! I also like the thick noodles, the thin ones are a little too thin. The meat on the top of the squid ink ramen was scrumptious!!

The service, once they get you seated, is super fast. I added the bean sprouts from the table to mine! We also split a chicken kaarage, which was yummy. I had enough to take home a little in a too go box!“

“The food here is amazing! All the ingredients are super fresh, and you can tell they really care about quality. The spicy and sour soup base is so flavorful and perfectly balanced — tangy, spicy, and comforting. The place is clean and the staff are friendly. Highly recommend!“

“I’ve been coming to Kowa since it’s opened in 2020. Always wonderful staff, not too loud, great quality ramen at reasonable price. I honestly think it tastes much better than Ramen Nagi, which is way too oily and always super crowded with a long line. As a palo alto resident, I highly recommend this cute ramen place!“

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

“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.“

“Mala Town is hands down one of the best spots for Sichuan dry pot in Union City! You get to pick your own ingredients and spice level, and they stir-fry everything to perfection with that addictive numbing-spicy mala flavor. Portions are generous, perfect for sharing, and prices are fair for the quality.

The medium spice has a nice kick, but if you love heat, go for the higher levels—it’s legit spicy! Service is quick and friendly, and the restaurant has a clean, modern vibe. Definitely a go-to place if you’re craving bold flavors and want a fun, shareable meal.“

“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.“

“The Spicy Basil Chicken is the best.“

“excellent. I've eaten here several times and have never been disappointed. Perfect katsu and surprisingly perfect veg. they give you a generous portion and I am impressed.“

“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“

“Within the South Bay Area I’d rank this place pretty good. They have a good balance of price, quantity, and quality. The quantity was good enough for the price. The quality and taste was decent but I have had better in Cupertino. If I lived next to this ramen place I’d probably go eat it regularly without complaints. I like the decor and atmosphere inside. Service is also good and fast.“

“Hands down one of the best ramen I ever had. The tonkotsu ramen is amazing, tasty yet not-too-gravy broth, chewy noodles, refreshing sprouts and veggies, and on top of all, real good chashu pork, much unlike any bland pork slices elsewhere. Great service and fair price. Highly recommended, though do remember to reserve online prior to your arrival.

Update, service degraded a lot since original visit. Probably because they enforce a 15% flat rate tip, so customer satisfaction is no longer relevant.“

“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.“

“Menya Shono is a good quality ramen restaurant in the East Bay and I'm happy to have tried their original Ginjo ramen. Some standouts: atmosphere is modern and clean, pork chashu is slightly smoky in flavor, and broth is rich/thick. My party had no wait on a weekend lunch. Parking is easy in the public lot.“

“No complaints all the sushi we ordered was delicious.the rolls are on the smaller side but that’s the new norm in most restaurants to help with rising costs.we have visited multiple times and we haven’t had any issues whatsoever so ever. I recommend you guys giving it a try.“

“Only down side is small parking lot. Do recommend street parking since the lot is very small

Recommend: Sashimi and Nigiri is well prepared. But everything is fairly pricey

The sushi here is very good and well made. Good quality fish“

“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.“

“Love their foods, so delicious and fancy will bring my family & friends there again!!“

“This Japanese tsukemen restaurant is really impressive. Whether it is the food, environment or service, it is full of sincerity. It is highly recommended!

First of all, their tsukemen are so delicious. The noodles are chewy and chewy, cooked just right, neither too soft nor too hard, and can absorb the rich dipping sauce perfectly. The soup has rich flavors, with a strong flavor of fish meat and tonkotsu. It is thick but not overly greasy, and every bite is full of concentrated delicious flavor. The accompanying barbecued pork meat is soft and tender, the fat is evenly distributed, and melts in your mouth, making the whole bowl of tsukemen even more delicious. In addition, the store also provides extra stock, which can be added with dipping sauce to turn into soup after eating the noodles. Such details make people feel the charm of authentic Japanese tsukemen.

The atmosphere inside the store is also quite great, the decoration is simple and full of Japanese style, and the lighting is warm and soft, creating a comfortable dining environment. The seats are well spaced so you won't feel crowded, and the background music is soft Japanese melodies, allowing you to relax and enjoy your food.

The most commendable thing is the attentive service of the clerk. From entering to ordering and serving, every detail is attentive. The clerk is kind and polite, and will also explain how to eat the meal, making people feel enthusiastic and professional. Overall, this restaurant not only has delicious tsukemen, but the overall dining experience is also very enjoyable. It is definitely worth a try and will make you want to come back again and again!“

“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 :)“

“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.“

“Excellent spicy miso broth, not too spicy, but enough to warm you up by the end of the bowl. There are a lot of options including half noodles.“
