“Food was unexpectedly good at such price, the curry beef udon and black garlic ramen were both extremely rich in ingredients; was probably a special offer but we were also given two small plates of fried rice which was also in high quality. Would definitely come back again.“
“Spotlight: Chicken Karaage. It was tender and succulent. Really nice!The service was good where you could feel their passion. However, the authenticity of the ramen was a bit short; I’d say it was a flavor more acceptable to American customers.“
“I come here all the time! It's such a great alternative to regular hot pot because you get to choose what ingredients you want :) highly recommend if you're super picky about what's in your soup. The staff are always super nice and greet you with a smile. I will note: most of the service is self-serve so you're expected to make your own sauces and get your own drinks. Overall, I love bringing friends and family here because everyone leaves full and happy“
“Friendly staff. The food is great and the portions are good. They give you a lot of stuff when you order a bento box. The sashimi is good quality, nice, thick, and fresh slices. I would recommend this place if you're looking for Japanese food.“
“Overall an enjoyable Ramen experience. The ramen joint is no-frills with a few types of ramen offerings and add-ons such as Chicken Karage and Gyoza. Their red king ramen has a great balance of spice, garlic, and umami flavours in the broth - of course, you can adjust many aspects of your dish based on your liking. The only con is that they always have long lines, and there is no waiting system so you have to stand in front of the shop, rain or shine. However, lines do move fast enough that it feels worth the wait.“
“We had the Kuro Ramen and it was delicious. Very filling.We also had to try their Arashi Ramen and the broth was light and savory.I recommend the Arashi French fries. They are sweet and crunchy, going well with ramen.The complimentary oolong tea was very refreshing and light, with easy accessible refilling station.“
“Small place with about 6 tables. We went for lunch on Sunday and there was a short wait. You order at the counter and food is brought to your table, water and hot tea are available to serve yourself. WOW! The rolls are HUGE and very reasonably priced for the size. I love the menu with a large variety of rolls, sauces and combinations to try. Most importantly the fish was fresh and everything we ordered was delicious. I definitely recommend the Phoenix roll. This is not close to home for me, but I'll go out of my way to come here for my sushi fix.“
“Oh...My...Goodness...this place has BY FAR the best bento boxes Ive ever had. Period. Ever. I personally got their pork belly bento box and when I tell you the flavors melted in my mouth man it melted in my mouth. I never thought Id fall in love with food until I had the pork belly bento box...“
“We got the tonkatsu ramen and chicken katsu curry. Both were very good. The flavor of the broth was really good and the strength of the broth was moderate. The pork was cooked well. The curry had just the right amount of spice and richness.“
“The server (owner?) was very sweet and gave us excellent service, which is nice because the last few times we went out to different ramen places my bf and I have been ignored. I got the creamy veggie ramen and my bf got the jigoku ramen. My broth was really rich and the noodles were delicious. The extremely spicy ramen was definitely tolerable and I don't typically do well with spicy! We were really happy with our food and will be back again :)“
“Where do I even start... this place is bomb.com!! So much value for what you get. Free iced tea, free dessert (we got almond pudding), and lollipops with our check. The food was pretty darn tasty. I got the black garlic ramen and the cold noodles. I would order both again. 100/10!Definitely coming back here.. didn't know it was so close to my work. Such a hidden gem!!!“
“The namesake sushi, eighty-eight roll,was great and nicely presented with poke pieces on top. The regular rolls: spider, Philly, and Negihama had chewy seaweed (not a crispy bite) wrap and not as fun and tasty. The agedashi tofu was nice and the hot sake was generous. They were busy so they couldn't always check when we needed water or additional ginger to add flavor to sushi.“
“Best gluten free vegetarian ramen I’ve ever had! 3rd time I’ve been here since I don’t live near by and it never disappoints! Great flavors, spicy is just perfect! The soft boiled egg is perfection! Love this place! Everything so fresh! Yum!?“
“My wife and I are particular about our ramen. We love the shoyu ramen broth but like to get the toppings from the vegetarian ramen. The owner Baron was nice enough to modify the menu for us. This is a great spot, I highly recommend it whether you're sitting out on the patio or inside. Thanks Baron!“
“It doesnt look like something awesome from the outside, but it is beautiful inside and the location has its pros and cons. Peacful and clean. I ordered three drinks, thai milk tea, lychee tea, and regular milk tea. All drinks were authentic and full of flavor. Sweentness was perfect. We also ordered a red bean mochi which was perfectly cooked and tasty. The visual was gorgeous. Service was decent. Cant wait to come again.“
“The star of the show, undoubtedly, was the ramen. Homi Japanese Ramen showcased a menu that skillfully highlighted the diversity of this iconic Japanese dish. From the moment the steaming bowl arrived at my table, the aroma alone hinted at the rich depth of flavors to come. The noodles, cooked to perfection, had an ideal texture that complemented the savory broth.Speaking of the broth, Homi Japanese Ramen demonstrated an unwavering commitment to authenticity. The ramen broth was a symphony of well-balanced flavors, whether it was the rich umami of the miso-based ramen or the subtle complexity of the shoyu broth. Each spoonful was a delightful journey through the nuanced tastes that define traditional Japanese ramen.“
“Dinner on a business trip to the US.Since it's almost the end of the season, there aren't many places to go, so today I'm going for American ramen. It was quite crowded, but I got in easily. Ordered tonkotsu and gyoza. It was delicious, but I felt like there was something slightly different. The gyoza is not vinegar soy sauce, but something like sweet rice cake. But it was delicious. Thank you for the meal.“
“Only 2 items were vegetarian. We order bothThe most I liked was vegetarian ramen (replacement of vegetables are not an option). 2nd item was vegetable tempura and for me was a bit oily. But I’ll definitely go there one more time for their Ramen.Vegetarian options: 1. vegetarian ramen (replacement of vegetables are not an option).2. vegetable tempura (little oily)“
“Updating my review to 5 stars. I have to hand it to iTea for always being consistent with their offerings even through Covid and after! Can't say the same for other places. You never have to worry about your tea tasting different because someone else made it or that it came from a different batch.“
“I'm not sure if there's an option to reserve here, but everytime I've come there is about a 10-15 minute wait-- I guess a testament to how good the food really is!If you're not super hungry, you might want to consider sharing with a friend, as the portions are quite nice and filling. The ratio of noodle-meat-broth-veggie is done well, something that many ramen restaurants often can't achieve. The charsiu is meat is soft and fatty (but in the good way) and I was actually wishing for more pieces of just that!The interior of the restaurant is nothing super special (which is fine), and you'll likely eat and dash, not somewhere that I'd stay for more time to hang out.“
“Ordered one of their bento boxes with 3 items: chicken kara-age, California roll and tempura wings. The roll was really good, the kara-age was ok and the wings were really good. It also came with miso soup and salad both of which were good!“
“I’ve had a lot of ramen all over the west coast and this restaurant easily is the best ramen I’ve ever had. Simple, delicious, and heart-warming. Every ingredient is cooked perfectly with care. The chashu made me want to cry tears of joy. I cannot wait to return for more!“
“So I think this is definitely a hidden gem among ramen spots in the area. They give HUGE portions, with really excellent flavoring. If it is your first time, be sure to go with the Dohatsusen, with your selection of broth. The spicy miso is legit, and they will top it off with the spicy minced pork that makes this place so unique. Oyako don is great as well, and they have a menu catered to kids (Yup, they will eat their vegetables for a chance at getting something from the gatcha machine!) If the indoor seating is too old school for you, then the outdoor seating is a nice option. Just know there might be winds.“
“One of my favorite ramen in Bay Area! Visited multiple times, everything ordered is delicious. But not sure if they changed the recipe, previously they had chashu with amazing smoky flavor, now it’s just plain chashu. Hope they can bring it “
“Located inside a plaza with other food places, there is lots of parking available. This is our go-to spot for ramen! The ordering system is easy and efficient. There's a QR code to see the menu and input orders directly. We came at night on a weekend. There was no wait (prob since they were closing soon). The food came out quickly. Each bowl had all the ingredients placed nicely. We ordered: - Black garlic Tonkatsu: strong garlic taste with a rich broth which you can tell has been simmered for long hours (for 24 hours according to their menu description). Comes with pork chashu, green onions, shredded wood ears and homemade black garlic oil. Added soft boiled egg and karaage. The karaage was crunchy even after it touched the soup, and so flavorful and juicy on the inside. - spicy miso: the broth was creamy and very flavorful. Comes with pork chashu, another piece of meat, green onions and shredded wood ears. Added the soft boiled egg. I like how they give a whole egg instead of just half. - fried squid: so crunchy and lightly battered so it didn't feel too greasy or heavy. The seasoning was flavorful without being too salty. Overall, the ramen and broth are both so good! Very generous with the amount of ingredients. The downside would be that the bowls are on the smaller side so you might run out of broth. But overall, it's a good portion size. Def recommend this place for a rich, flavorful bowl of ramen!“
“The food is good. The service is also great but it does get pretty busy during lunch hours. Not sure about dinner since we only went during lunchtime. The restaurants is small. There was about 20 minutes wait for us. But the food came quickly after we ordered. Also, the place is very clean and cozy. Love the style of the restaurant.“
