Ramen Restaurants near San Leandro, CA

“Enjoyed clean and fresh tasting sashimi with delicious sides. Had to try the vegetarian okonomiyaki with bonito flakes mayo and unagi sauce. Salmon and avocado sushi roll was yummy. Definitely would come back to visit this quaint and tasty Japanese restaurant in my neighborhood!“

“This place is a hidden gem seemingly in the middle of nowhere. The fish is super fresh. The staff are very friendly and attentive. The owner is also the head sushi chef, he's usually there. The Japanese decor creates nice vibes, the entry way looks like a historic Japanese house entry way.“

“I've eaten at this location a handful of times and the staff are very patient here. I've seen customers unintentionally leave a huge mess on the tables and floors after eating. Another customer on a different occasion came in asking for something off menu and they politely informed them it couldn't be made. No rolling eyes, no condescending tone. Just a gentle straightforward answer.

I usually order the tonkotsu ramen and it isn't the best I've ever had, but the way they make it here is very consistent, delicious, and satisfying. 5 stars for their predictable service, reliable meals, combined with polite and patient staff.“

“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.“

“i've gone here 2 times- once as a walk-in to check out the place, and the other with a reservation for 8. both times had quick and attentive service, good prices, and the most delicious sushi i've ever had. you won't regret coming here. i personally can't wait to go back :D“

“Hay Tea is a delightful spot for a refreshing drink! Their bubble teas are perfectly crafted with fresh ingredients and a great balance of sweetness. The menu offers a wide variety, and the staff is always friendly and efficient. A perfect treat to cool down or just enjoy!“

“This ramen spot is legit. Went Thursday night and got lucky.. No wait for a table & parking opened up after 2 loops.

Enoki chips were a good start. Got the Garlic Knockout ramen and it hit the spot. Noodles had perfect texture & it was super garlicky, just how I like it. Fast service too. 10/10 if you’re craving ramen. I'll be back to try the other items on the menu.“

“This is a must visit for anyone in Jack London Square“

“One of my top 3 favorite ramen place. The bowls are so cute, broth is so cozy, and the chashu pork has a lil sweetness to it— all a winning combo. Amanda was our server and she was so sweet and attentive to us! This place is a gem in a the ways, with its food and people!“

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

“This place is our favorite! The food is consistently great, the staff are warm and attentive. We come here almost every weekend and love the half priced Sake on Fridays! I tell everyone about this place and hope it sticks around for a long time :)

We also get the heart skewers, gyoza with house sauce, tantan men ramen and the tonkotsu. The curry is also divine!

Shoutout to G who is the best waitress! She takes great care of me and my family.

Come here asap! Love this place“

“Bansho is a very special place. The extraordinary combination of delicate mindfulness in service and decor, and meticulous attention to the balance and quality of ingredients creates magic. You will leave feeling better than when you arrived. Highly recommend.“

“Mala Town is hands down one of the best spots for Sichuan dry pot in Union City! You get to pick your own ingredients and spice level, and they stir-fry everything to perfection with that addictive numbing-spicy mala flavor. Portions are generous, perfect for sharing, and prices are fair for the quality.

The medium spice has a nice kick, but if you love heat, go for the higher levels—it’s legit spicy! Service is quick and friendly, and the restaurant has a clean, modern vibe. Definitely a go-to place if you’re craving bold flavors and want a fun, shareable meal.“

“The food is fabulous, the staff is fabulous. It was a wonderful experience. If I lived here I would go back.“

“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.“

“I love Ramen Station!! I’ve been coming here for a couple of years now and it’s a great place :)) it’s a self-service establishment so you pretty much never see staff unless they’re cleaning or restocking outside of the kitchen. It’s always very well maintained and it’s nice to eat outside with the view of the water!!“

“I’ve ordered Tonkutsu Ramen (mild), its good but too spicy for me. I asked for hot water to reduce d saltiness n spiciness. Flavor still great!“

“Inside was clean, I got the beef mini meal and replaced the macaroni salad with rice, the food cane with rice, bbq beef, and vegetables (cabbage and broccoli) the food was so good that I picked out the broccoli and ate it on its own, and I hate broccoli, so that shows how good it was“

“One of a small handful of state-side ramen experiences that’s equaled some of the ramen bowls I’ve enjoyed in Japan. The yuzu ramen is the stand-out.

I brought my discerning professional chef friend here and when he tasted the yuzu broth, he immediately ordered a bowl from Hiroshi, then boxed up the meal he already had in front of him from another stall.

But maybe the clearest indication of Hiroshi Ramen’s visit-worthiness is the fact that it has unseated Super Duper Birger as my 11yr old son’s gold standard go-to restaurant.

The 1-3 star reviews here have me thinking there really should be a qualifications exam before you’re aloud to rate a restaurant on these platforms.

Just go.“

“What can I say about this place? Well first of all it's really one of the best restaurants we have here in our little village of San Lorenzo California. We love coming here for lunch and having the bento box which has very generous portions and delicious food. My friend always gets the strawberry green tea and he thinks it is so fabulous. I like coming here with my friends and getting lots of different kinds of rolls. The staff is super friendly as well as very good at doing their jobs. They've always got smiles on their face and kindness when they approach your table or cook your meal. They have all different kinds of music playing so some days It might not be your style but that's all right just go with the flow. We love this place and we're so glad that they're here in San Lorenzo.“

“The food was pretty good, though from what I've seen the prices are pretty high. GBO gave us an item included, but otherwise, even though the food tastes good and has great portions, it's very expensive.

Also, for any GBOers who see this, the spicy rice cakes (Tteokbokki) is not portioned for a full meal!

Otherwise the dine out area is quite nice!

Vegetarian options: There is the miso tofu ramen and maybe one other option, so vegetarians won't be left out!“

“I highly recommend Ramen Shop for your ramen fix! This place just gets more creative each time that I can here with friends. I don't know how they do the egg yolk, but it is simply the best. Wonderful and friendly staff. I also love the interior decor of the restaurant.“

“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 :)“
