AOI Teriyaki & Ramen

Stopped in to get some lunch and was blown away by this gem of a restaurant. I got the tonkatsu black ramen, along with some fried pickles. The ramen was fantastic, rich creamy broth, pork chashu that just melts in your mouth, and the eggs are nice and soft. Fried pickles were fresh and crispy, delicious. Service was fast and friendly, portions were generous and filling, and prices were reasonable. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a delicious bowl of ramen.

I stopped in here for lunch recently and was absolutely delighted. Their tonkotsu ramen is a perfectly balanced and very satisfying bowl, rich and meaty without being too heavy. I prefer firmer, springy noodles and these were exactly to my taste. I also had the fried pickles and I'd also recommend those highly - fried to order, perfectly crispy, no lack of pickle flavor.

This is the best ramen in the San Leandro Hayward area, in my opinion. It is authentic Japanese ramen, made by real Japanese chef, not by Chinese or Mexican. The broth and ramen are what separates from this place to other restaurants. The broth is creamy and smooth but not oily. Left it overnight. There's hardly any oil sitting on the top. The broth is not filling like other places. The noodles are springy and bouncy. The egg is perfectly cooked with the yolk runny inside. Although the owner is the only person who works and manages the place. It has a kiosk to take order, and the food is prepared relatively fast. He is very generous, and every time I go with my kids, he always gives us some appetizers for free. I really appreciate the food and his service

I never see this place open it show is in business, it is very bizarre, it appears is operating maybe a ghost kitchen?

Best ramen shop in the area. Here I had the best bowl of ramen in my life. And the chef was very kind and gave my daughter free treats!

Nagasaki Champon was delicious! Tonkotzu Ramen was amazing, too. The portion is genereous and the owner is kind. 5 star respected!

Broth was so good!! And the spicy flavor was perfect 👌🏽

A gem in San Leandro, CA must check out.

Love supporting small businesses. First time trying it today and ordered to go. It's a small space, you order through a kiosk or through the owner/chef. Needless to say, was really impressed with the ramen and the broth. My son and I ordered The Tonkatsu and my wife ordered the champon. Even for to go the portion is really good, really great to have a good ramen place 5 mins from our place.

Been here quite a few times now and everything is always amazing. Highly recommend if you enjoy a good bowl of ramen and the Katsu is fantastic as well.

Delicious chicken katsu box!

After spending three months in Japan tonkatsu and katsu became an instant favorite. This meal transported me back to time there.

The chicken was breaded and fried perfectly. I enjoyed the sesame ball and gyoza as well. The portion is very generous and quite affordable for the amount of food you get.

Support this awesome local business. The food is good and I look forward to trying the ramen as the weather gets colder.

Small spot, so dishes will take a bit if there’s a line. Kiosk for ordering and one man ramen shop. Service is worth it, he will let you know before you order if it will take more than 30min.

Really really good. Slightly under $15 for a bowl that you probably won’t finish. Owner makes it by himself so it takes a little bit but super fresh and big portions!
