I read the reviews, trusted that they were authentic enough, and tried the rumen for myself (Tonkotsu deluxe). It did not disappoint. I'm extremely happy that I tied it. Now it will be the go to place in Oakland for me. The price is just for current economy, which is a bit pricey for me ($18.75 after tax), but totally worth it! The portion size is really good for a grown hungry man. The wait was very short, just like other reviews stated.

OMG this is amazing! Introverts dream. You just punch in your order and it pops out like a vending machine. No need to talk to people, no tipping, just food without anyone bugging you. More privacy than most bathroom stalls. Clean. No service to grade, cause well... There isn't any. But it was quick so I guess that could count. I'm in agreeance that the sound is loud and probably too frequent, but that's all I can gripe about. Food is great.

Tried Ramen Station for the first time today and it truly exceeded my expectations! The broth is rich, flavorful, and full of depth. The spicy ramen has the perfect kick—super satisfying. The chashu is thick, tender, and melts in your mouth, and the seasoned egg is cooked perfectly and absorbs the broth beautifully. Inside decor are super cute too!

Ramen was really good They have a build your own section and it cost less than a regular ramen if you only get a few toppings Plus the bowls are massive (about 30oz of soup)

Its such a casual, chill spot reminiscent of ramen spots at the train stations with solo seating, most minimalistic, with a cute and quiet outdoor view of the docks too. Such a gem with solid ramen quality and genuine atmosphere

The worker was rude, and was rushing me to pay while I was trying to transfer funds because they’re system wont accept my first card. If you’re trying to tell me pay as I’m in the process of doing it, I don’t want to be a customer anymore, so I left.
The worker was super rude and kept rushing me to pay as I’m transferring money to my account.

Perfect for the novelty of ordering from a machine with no human interaction. But if you're back from Japan and expect the vending machine to have beer: think again.

Changing my review from a 5 to a 3. Im done eating here, however for the sake of giving benefit of the doubt, im going to try it one last time.
I come here as a place to comfort me... so when I came home with some ingredients missing from my Ramen a few weeks ago (that I PAID for), I was upset.
Now, today; I have a twine in my ramen from the chashu....
A wonderful cozy place for a delicious bowl of ramen.
