“I recently visited a ramen restaurant, and here are my impressions.
First of all, the atmosphere was very cozy and casual, creating the perfect setting for enjoying the food. The menu offered a variety of ramen options, and I chose the classic chicken ramen.
When my dish arrived, I was impressed by its size. The noodles were average in taste, but that's an acquired taste. The only downsides were the water glasses and the toilet, which weren't very clean. I wouldn't come back.“

“We were visiting from Boston on a family trip and stopped by this restaurant on July 2. The food was absolutely delicious(my top pick is black king but sides are also good, chicken and dumplings), but what made our visit truly unforgettable was the incredible hospitality from one of your staff members.
Unfortunately, we never got his name, but he was a Korean staff member. From the moment we were waiting in line, he noticed our 5yo drawing on the order sheet and kindly interacted with her. Throughout our meal, he kept checking on us and made our whole family feel so welcome.
Before we finished our meal, he came over to let us know that he was heading home for the day. Because of that, we never had the chance to properly thank him, which is something we’ve regretted ever since.
Our trip lasted two weeks, taking us all the way from San Diego to San Francisco, and we visited many wonderful restaurants along the way. Yet, almost a month later, our kids still talk about “the uncle” from this restaurant and keep asking when we can come back. That says more than any review ever could.
If we ever have the opportunity, we’d love to come back just to thank him in person. And if by any chance you’re reading this review—thank you for making our family trip so special. Your kindness left a lasting memory for all of us.
If you ever find yourself visiting Boston, please don’t hesitate to reach out. We’d love the chance to return the kindness you showed our family.“

“I got the normal broth, medium spicy, and it was very flavorful, not too spicy. Only thing is the beef shrinks a lot in size after it’s cooked so keep that in mind when filling your bowl. It’s a bit pricy, I paid about $30 for my bowl, however it was a large portion“

“Stopped by Ramen Kowa after an AI workshop nearby, and honestly, it was a cute and easy little dinner stop on California Ave. The menu had a pretty solid variety of ramen, including tonkotsu, spicy miso tonkotsu, shoyu, shio, and miso, along with Japanese comfort foods like karaage and curry.
The restaurant has a casual, slightly izakaya-style vibe, and the outdoor seating was nice for a chill Palo Alto evening. The ramen was good and satisfying overall, although I personally wished the broth had a little more depth and richness, especially for the price. The service was friendly, and everything came out smoothly.
Overall, I’d give it around 3.5 stars. It’s a solid neighborhood ramen spot and a convenient choice if you’re already hanging out around California Ave, but probably not somewhere I’d drive a long distance specifically to visit.
Also, I was so hungry after the workshop that I totally forgot to take pictures of the food—so all I ended up with was a photo of the storefront lol“

“This is a place I often visit, either by myself or with my family. In my opinion, it’s the best ramen restaurant in Fremont. The Spicy Miso Ramen and Takoyaki I ordered today are highly recommended. The flavors are always delicious, and I keep coming back!“

“My girlfriend and I have always looked at this place and took a chance and stopped by. It was really good. I had the wrap. Bathrooms are clean. They even have toothbrushes in the bathrooms so you can brush your teeth after your meal. They even have DJ lights. Super friendly personnel. Next time I got to try the beers.“

“I love the omelet rice and siu-mai :) The space inside isn't huge but I think that adds to the homey vibes 🤗 I think all portions are generous - enough to take home leftovers. She even takes it to the back and puts them in boxes for you which I appreciate. I always leave very full and happy haha, and it's nice to see the owners' kind faces every time I come back!“

“My friend likes the dry ramen for $20, so we go here to meet up. Got the $8 cod roe over rice, melon drink with ice cream $8, and the dry ramen. We went to the other Marufuku location in Campbell and they don’t have the dry ramen so was sad about that. The dry ramen has thick udon like noodles which I like. The ramen has thin noodles, too thin for my liking. Sorry, only remembered to take photos of the melon drink and rice. Good location, you can also go to Trader Joe’s, hang out in some lounge chairs, etc.
Parking around 1110am was empty but when I left at 1230pm, people were waiting to find parking, so as usual, get here before lunchtime 12pm“

“Warning: Low Sodium Option is ava. But with all the side condiments together still causes the entire ramen bowl To be overly Salty. Ruined the flavor.“

“We had the spicy garlic toripaitan and vegan miso ramen and both were amazing. The miso ramen needed hot chilli as it was a little mild but was awesome! The spicy garlic one had good portions of chicken, pork and noodles more than I've seen anywhere else!“

“I really enjoyed the flavor profile at this place.
You are greeted warmly upon arrival; the space is neither large nor tiny. It is an open-concept restaurant (you can see the kitchen), and the place is bright and clean.
You order via a QR code, and the food arrives at your table quickly.
The portions are neither too big nor too small; I find them just right—whether you're really hungry or want to take some leftovers home for later.
I will definitely be back to try more of the menu (honestly, everything looks spectacular).“

“Nice place to eat, I only give the food 4 stars because the little differences in their rolls compares to others I've had with the same name just wasn't really for me. I ate them and enjoyed them as best I could and had no issues with them just not the best I've tried of rolls with that name.“

“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.“

“Best ramen place in the southern bay so far! Quick queue at the entrance, kind service, and the food is just amazing. The atmosphere reminds of the streets of Japan with a slight more upscale vibe. The private nooks are amazing for a nice date. I strongly suggest to try their custom beverages.“

“The quality has changed since the beginning. Still good but felt like it was lacking something when I’ve tried it in the past. I’m not sure what it is exactly. Use to love coming here since you can shop at the same time and get ice cream.“

“This has been our favorite udon spot for a while now. The only other spot we would consider competition is Udon Mugizo but we love this place a lot more. First, the noodles have better texture and their oxtail broth is perfectly seasoned. For appetizers, we really like their chicken karaage and their mackerel.
Their service is also really great. We have a 4 month old and he was clearly trying to sleep. Our server was kind enough to put lullaby music on for him and overall was just a really nice guy. I wish we got his name but it was one of our most memorable meals ever!“

“Food was excellent. My brother and I ordered the Ramen combo with skewers. Each came with a free milk tea and almond tofu dessert. (We didn't realize the milk tea and almond tofu came with our meal. The server was very attentive to detail and made sure all our needs were met. Only gripe was it seemed that the chicken skewer only had sauce and wasn't seasoned. The mustard greens on the ramen was a nice touch to cut the richness of the broth. Will definitely come back 😁“

WOULD RECOMMEND 1000%“
“The braised beef rice noodles at this place tastes very good. It's now my favorite and I have it once every week. The store manager is good at doing business. I visit the store nearly weekly, in just a few times he recognizes me and remembers my favorite food already. He is very friendly and trusts his customers (one time I did not carry enough money with me, the manager was nice to work out a good deal for me).
Oh I'd like to leave a minor suggestion today. If the beef stew could be a bit softer it would be perfect.“

“Good enough size for lunch (at least, for me). Soup is tasty and noodles are served just in a right manner. (I like a bit stiff one).“
