Machine was down when I went by. I know it was foolish to expect ramen at 5am, but google does say open 24 hours?

Food is prepared fast within 2 mins but came out without any chopsticks and tissues. The bowl is made of paper, getting soft so easy, and soup is very hot, so you could imagine how difficult to carry it around. Noodles are okay just soft noodles. The meat tastes not fresh.

Horrible experience. Paid for a meal waited 8 mins and machine made weird noises but no food came out. Called customer support twice and they couldn’t hear me even though I could hear them fine. I’m out $15

The door did not open after completing my order. Lost $10. No staff nearby to help.

Just had a yokai ramen bowl in MSP airport, the problem isn't it's too hot, in fact it's not hot enough. the ingredients are frozen and they remained frozen after the hot water is added. Whatever algorithm you've got working on these bowls needs serious readjusting.

A dystopian experience. Sold out of everything but vegan ramen, the machine accepted my money but did not dispense the food. After waiting 5 minutes, I could see steam coming from the other side of the door on the machine. But the door would not lift to give me the food. An error message appeared. It had a 1-800 number which I had to call. I spoke to a woman in the Philippines who put me on hold for 3 minutes while she contacted some other person who remotely hacked into the machine and made the door rise 4 minutes later so I could pull my food out. Food was fine.
There are no tables nearby. I had to eat it on my lap.
While I was waiting for the food, the machine kept dispensing chopsticks over and over. There is a huge pile of chopsticks on the left of the machine, left there by other people who presumably experienced the same dystopian nightmare.

Reasonable price, taste good, and available anytime; side note: no receipt; no oven gloves it is very hard to pick up the food; also wish there is an additional spice sauce and dinning table.

Horrible soup. Bad quality meat. No attendant and bad interface, where I didn’t even know what I was paying for or what was the total. It didn’t allow me customizing the spice level. Soup ended up in the trash. Also, how do they expect people to eat a hot soup without a table? I was scared of dropping it on my lap and having to head to the ER instead of my flight.

We ate from this vending machine at MSP Airport. Loved it! So tasty. Hard to believe there wasn't someone inside cooking it fresh.
It turns out that Pandora’s Box costs $14 and contains a puddle of oily water, a pile of small rocks called “rice,” and a few thin strips of meat supposedly called “chicken.”It also turns out that Yo-Kai Express isn’t some amiable company aspiring to serve Asian food using autonomous vending machines. In reality, it is a tyrannical, diabolical, heinous crime syndicate that serves pure suffering and pain masquerading as warm nourishing food. It’s not a cute innocent vending machine; it’s a grizzled robber. It isn’t a small business; it’s organized and conspired grand larceny.Now, how did I chance upon these startling yet astute observations? Scars. I was a firsthand eyewitness to the atrocities committed by this dastardly conglomerate. Within 30 seconds of unknowingly being robbed of $14, the machine birthed a literal abomination. As I opened Pandora’s Box, I viscerally felt the atmosphere, rank with the essence of pain, suffering, and death. Sodom and Gomorrah, watching brimstone rain from the sky. There is no mortal language, now, then, and forevermore, that can even scratch the surface, that can even comprehend the villainy that ensued after I opened the box.I narrowly escaped with my life. My stomach churning and mouth burning, I raced to detail this encounter with the embodiment of evil, darkness manifest himself, lest his minions chase me to the ends of the earth and strip me of my weapon, my words. And so I stand here today, as a bulwark of good, a valiant knight, and the whistleblower of justice, warning innocent souls of the dangers of this unassuming vending machine.

Stuck in the 30s wing for a layover at 7:30 when all other eateries were closed, wishing I had grabbed something from the Grab-n-Go I passed. I should have been wary after seeing there was an abandoned bowl still in the machine, but I placed my order, it took my money, and immediately gave me an error message. I called customer support to try to get a refund, but proceeded to sit through troubleshooting their machine for them, including throwing away the abandoned bowl, and waiting another 15 minutes for my food (where is the seasoning???) I would have been better off grabbing a packet of ramen from the grocery store when I got home.
