From someone who doesn’t even like noodles, I had to come check this place out because social media couldn’t stop raving about it. The noodles with yogurt are what really set it apart, such a unique combination. The chicken karaage was juicy and had its own distinct flavor too. I’ll definitely be back!

Every aburasoba they have contains chili oil. Even though they don't list some of their aburasoba as spicy, they all have chili oil mixed in. Sadly I have zero tolerance to spicy food and they were not able to accommodate me. The waitress serving us did try her best but told us that they could not separate it. I don't understand why they couldn't just remake their sauce but without chili oil.
This place is a 1 star for me since they don't have a true non spicy option for their aburasoba and were not able to remove the chili oil. I instead got their wagyu beef rice but it just wasn't the same and wasn't what i wanted. I really enjoy aburasoba and mazesoba(another type of brothless ramen) and was excited to try this place. Instead I was met with disappointment since they weren't able to make their aburasoba without chili oil.

Pretty tasty meal and very filling, but not something I’d wait in line for though. The thicc noodles were probably my favorite part, and all the toppings were good too. I wish the flavors were a little more balanced though - the Top 1 aburasoba was very flavorful but it was a little much for the full duration of a meal in my opinion, and the original aburasoba lacked a bit of the punch - good thing they have more sauces and toppings at every table.
Really clean inside and nice staff!

This is such a gem in San Mateo and is our favorite soupless ramen of all time.
Their aburasoba justifies their long lines, but don’t let it intimidate you. We only waited 10 minutes since they move fast and it was just us 2 on our lunch date.
Favorite is Nikumori (generous portions or pork) and their new minced beef and pork with bamboo.

After waiting for a long time, I was hoping it would be amazing, but it was just okay. Still, the bibim ramen was something different, and it’s worth trying at least once.

This place recently opened in Dublin. I have had tsukemen (ramen with dipping sauce), but have not had abura soba before so I had to try it. This place was super busy at noon. Probably because this place was still quite new. Good thing we went there around 11:30 so we did not have to wait.
I ordered their #1 signature dish: Homura Aburasoba. Some people may not want to eat a raw egg, but I wanted it. Just hope their egg is high quality and fresh. I mixed everything up and tasted it - not bad. I added their condiments: fried garlic, sesame, chili oil and vinegar as I like heavy flavors. I thoroughly enjoyed it. I also ordered an Asahi draft beer to go with my noodles. My friend ordered the Soboro Aburasoba, but substituted the raw egg with an Ajitama (seasoned egg). I am sure she enjoyed it as well as she finished it before I finished my bowl.
The ponzu karaage had some grated daikon with ponzu and green onions. It added another layer of flavors to the fried chicken, but the fried chicken was juicy and hot. I would order it again. I must admit - I still like ramen with soup better as the soup is my favorite component of ramen. I also started enjoying tsukemen as my most recent trip to Japan converted me.

My go-to quick eat for aburasoba! Delicious. It holds up surprisingly well for takeout, no soggy noodles and still satisfying by the time you get home.
Best aburasoba ever!! The starters are also so good! It is Michelin recommended and it is so cheap!❤️🩹❤️🩹

The food was really good. I ordered the Wagyu and it was really good but really heavy. The egg and the cream makes it difficult to continue eating after a couple bites so I wouldn’t recommend it for those with a lighter stomach. Still really good though!
