The ramen here is really good but their hours are unreliable. Says they’re open til 8:30pm on Sundays but they’re currently closed at 8:10pm.

Not the best ramen but it will do. Flavor lacks a bit and the pork is not subtle at all. Great place that reminds me of tokyo though.

This experience was not it. I ordered for pick up and it took 10 minutes for someone to come out. They only came out because a customer ordered dine in. Their customer was very rude to me. I explained I was trying to pick an order and this little girl jumps in front of me maybe thinking I’m trying to take their food. She explains to me how the process works and I tell her I’ve been trying to get someone’s attention by knocking on the door for at least 10 minutes now. I walk away and the girl follows me trying to explain again. She’s very lucky I didn’t cuss her out. Anyways, the spicy tan tan ramen was very basic and hardly no flavor. It looks very flavor and red all for show I guess. Will never eat here again.

Food OK, cold drinks not available when I went. Supposed to be a cashless-only place but drinks machines broken and only "working" one was cash only for $5, $2, and $1 bills. Would not accept anything higher. Definitely **not **worth making a trip, but if you are staying in the area not a bad food spot.

Built just like a ramen place in Japan! My toddler son loves the noodles, and he’s one of the only places that he’ll eat meat in. Delicious food!

The ramen wasn't very hot, we ordered extra green onions but they missed that completely, and their expensive vending machine took our cash but didn't give us our beverage. The main area appears unstaffed because it is completely self service and there is no phone number posted or online at this time that lets you report the issue to anyone so if you have any problems while on site, they will do nothing.

I've never been to Japan but I'd have to say for someone who comes in and eats there would probably feel right at home. This Ramen is pretty darn good.
Second time I've ordered from this place, but this is the first time they didn't include the extra egg I paid for... otherwise it's great! Great flavor, and I personally prefer the lightly salted broth.
Love this place, reminds me of taking the subway in

I've wanted to come in ever since seeing the original "JR Rail" sign years ago on the freeway! We finally had the chance on the way to grocery shopping. I wasn't disappointed!The owners do a good job of making this a unique experience. The shop is clean and streamlined, as you can expect from one themed on Japanese transportation! They play sounds of the JR Rail stop announcements overhead, and also steam NHK TV (a Japanese cultural channel) in the back. As others have also mentioned, there are also a few vending machines throughout the store which offer Japanese snacks and drinks (but are quite pricey at like $5 per ramune bottle). Orders come out of the wall with your receipt number displayed above the counter and loudly announced on the intercom. It's a fully contactless experience! (Btw, the code for the restroom is on your receipt!)There are only a handful of seats throughout the store, but they're single stalls à la Ichiran (IYKYK!). There's also a few standing spots open in the back (high table only). Other communal seating can be found outside, with a view of the moored ships in the estuary.We got the deluxe tonkatsu ramen with all the pre-recommended standard components. I found the ramen itself simple and not too heavy nor salty. The flavor wasn't anything to write home about, but the textures of everything were all on point. The noodles had the perfect chew, and the chashu and egg were perfect. Additionally, the portion size of the meat and noodles was quite sizeable and there was no way I could've finished off all my broth at the end without exploding. For $15, this wasn't a bad value. I also like that they include a wet wipe so you can have clean hands before/after your meal.Unfortunately, the iPad on the left (one of only 2) for taking orders was malfunctioning at this time, but you wouldn't know it until you got to the checkout screen and was ready to pay. There isn't any sign or anything, so either they don't know it's broken or it only broke recently. Hopefully this review compels them to fix it!

Great lunch spot. Tried the spicy noodle soup and the garlic oil noodle soup (in thick and thin noodle), both were great!There's plenty of parking, seating indoors and outdoors (look at the view), practically next to freeway exit and entrance (880 south), and a Starbucks next door (they also have vending machines with very unique Japanese drinks) . Price is very reasonable (no tipping). I brought my own herbal tea to enjoyMust try!
