Ramen Restaurants near Newark, CA

“I was craving a good ramen for such a long time, and omg this place did not disappoint. We landed up reaching there a little after lunch time and still the staff was so nice and helpful. I ordered the tonkotsu tan tan ramen medium spicy (level 2) and it was soooooo delicious. I enjoyed each and every bite. The other person with me had the spicy miso pork chachsu ramen with level 3 spice. It came piping hot and hit the spot.
The ambiance was very warm and welcoming. Nice light music and great lighting.
I would recommend this place for a nice ramen experience, especially when they are so quick with their service. You will enjoy every morsel.
I am definitely coming back here for more ramen and trying other dishes. Looking forward to next time!“

“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!“

“5-Star Review

Ramen Nagi is an amazing spot for ramen lovers! The ramen was rich, flavorful, and satisfying, with delicious toppings and perfectly cooked noodles. The service was friendly and the atmosphere was welcoming. Overall, a fantastic dining experience in Palo Alto. Definitely 5 stars—I’ll be coming back!“

“I got the normal broth, medium spicy, and it was very flavorful, not too spicy. Only thing is the beef shrinks a lot in size after it’s cooked so keep that in mind when filling your bowl. It’s a bit pricy, I paid about $30 for my bowl, however it was a large portion“

“Stopped by Ramen Kowa after an AI workshop nearby, and honestly, it was a cute and easy little dinner stop on California Ave. The menu had a pretty solid variety of ramen, including tonkotsu, spicy miso tonkotsu, shoyu, shio, and miso, along with Japanese comfort foods like karaage and curry.

The restaurant has a casual, slightly izakaya-style vibe, and the outdoor seating was nice for a chill Palo Alto evening. The ramen was good and satisfying overall, although I personally wished the broth had a little more depth and richness, especially for the price. The service was friendly, and everything came out smoothly.

Overall, I’d give it around 3.5 stars. It’s a solid neighborhood ramen spot and a convenient choice if you’re already hanging out around California Ave, but probably not somewhere I’d drive a long distance specifically to visit.

Also, I was so hungry after the workshop that I totally forgot to take pictures of the food—so all I ended up with was a photo of the storefront lol“

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

“Overall, I really enjoyed the tsukemen and it definitely satisfied my craving. The pork was tender with the perfect amount of fattiness, and I especially loved the bamboo shoots.

There are two things I think could make the tsukemen a solid 5/5. First, the dipping broth could be thicker and more concentrated. It had great umami flavor, but because it was a little too soupy, the sauce didn’t cling to the noodles as well as I’d like. One of my favorite things about tsukemen in Japan is how that rich, concentrated broth coats every bite of noodles.

Second, the noodles themselves had great texture—firm and perfectly al dente—but they broke apart very easily. By the end, I had a lot of tiny broken noodle pieces, some only about half an inch long. That’s something I rarely experience with tsukemen noodles in Japan, where they tend to stay long and intact throughout the meal.

That said, the flavors were there and I left satisfied. If they could thicken up the dipping broth and improve the noodles so they hold together better, this would easily be a 5-star tsukemen for me.“

“I order 3.6lb of food, and it’s lowkey expensive, it’s like 50dollars, so if you don’t want to eat a lot, then you are welcome, but if you want to eat a lot, then go to the store like all you can eat or other store“

“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.“

“Don't expect anything fancy, but you can expect good, friendly and quick service with tasty, authentic selections. It's small and unassuming, but we trusted the local reviews and are happy we did! For those looking for sushi, they have a unique variety of salmon, hamachi and shrimp based roles.“

“Nice place to eat, I only give the food 4 stars because the little differences in their rolls compares to others I've had with the same name just wasn't really for me. I ate them and enjoyed them as best I could and had no issues with them just not the best I've tried of rolls with that name.“

“Delicious food at very reasonable prices. This location can be quite busy at rush hours so I would advise coming in either early or later to avoid peak traffic. I highly recommend the beef tendon ramen unique to the shop, and the pork cartilage in tonkotsu broth is fantastic. If you're feeling hungry, you can even have both.

They also recently upgraded their noodle option, so even better all around.“

“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.“

“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“

“I came to Yugen Ramen in Mountain View on a Thursday evening and got the tantan ramen.

The tantan ramen was probably the best ramen I've ever had. The broth was very flavorful, and the spice level stood out the most. The toppings were good, the noodles were cooked well, and the chicken tasted really nice too. The portion was very good for the price, which made it incredibly satisfying.

It was pretty crowded, but we were seated right away. The guy who took our order was very friendly. The atmosphere was cozy and casual, and not too noisy.“

“The Spicy Basil Chicken is the best.“

“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!!“

“One of the best Tonkotsu ramen I ever eaten“

“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 :)“

“great customer service, very polite and attentive. ありがとございます！“

“What a pleasant surprise! Very unassuming simple storefront with delicious flavorful food inside

The garlic oil ramen and chicken curry both hit the spot and were very flavorful.

We also had the fruit teas which were good. Definitely will come back to try more items on the menu“

“The braised beef rice noodles at this place tastes very good. It's now my favorite and I have it once every week. The store manager is good at doing business. I visit the store nearly weekly, in just a few times he recognizes me and remembers my favorite food already. He is very friendly and trusts his customers (one time I did not carry enough money with me, the manager was nice to work out a good deal for me).
Oh I'd like to leave a minor suggestion today. If the beef stew could be a bit softer it would be perfect.“

“My friend and I got the Mentaiko soupless ramen, shishito peppers, takowasa, squid legs tempura and the hokkaido crepe. Everything was delicious. Ramen was rich and creamy with a hint of spiciness. Our appetizers were all delicious, flavorful and the squid legs were so crispy. I love the texture from the takowasa, crunchy and had a chew to it. Our servers were very sweet and helpful. I will definitely come back here if I visit again.“

“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.“

“After Baylands Park, we were interested in finding a place for lunch. My wife has been here for work lunch before transitioning to fully remote years ago. My wife recognized the waitress/owner so she already knows the food here is good. Instead of the usual ramen (which are delicious by the way), we opted for the pork combo rice and beef noodle dishes. My autistic son loved it and I'm happy he went out of his comfort zone to try new things.“
