I really hate to leave a one-star review, but I feel it’s necessary to share my experience. I ordered the regular tonkotsu ramen, and unfortunately, it made me sick three times. Each time I had it, I ended up with an upset stomach—not just mildly uncomfortable, but really unwell.
There was a strange, thick layer of oil floating on top of the broth that didn’t look or taste right. I tried to give it the benefit of the doubt, but after multiple times getting sick, I can’t ignore it anymore.
I hope the restaurant takes this seriously and looks into the quality and cleanliness of the ingredients and preparation. I’m sharing this not out of malice, but out of genuine concern for future customers.

Absolutely love Ramen Shu! This place has quickly become one of my go to spots for ramen. The broth is rich and flavorful, the noodles are perfectly cooked, and the ingredients always taste fresh. I especially love their black ramen.it’s packed with umami and has just the right kick.
The service is friendly and fast, and the restaurant is always clean and welcoming. You can tell the team here really cares about quality and consistency. Definitely recommend it if you’re craving a solid bowl of ramen in town. 5 stars all the way!

I think this place is secretly scamming people and nobody has noticed. Their ramen on their menu is listed as 17.95 but yet I was charged $18.67 for it. Their chasu set was +5.95 and yet I was charged $6.19. That is very strange and nowhere in their menu doesn’t say anything about being an extra 4%. That is pretty scummy.
That being said: The ramen was okay. I felt they added way too much green onion and if you really their black ramen - it’s heavily carried by the green onions - if you remove that taste it’s otherwise pretty bland.
Their chasu bowl was kind of disgusting. They added a big blob of mayonnaise that tastes exactly like Carl’s Jr. mayonnaise. It was so bizarre.
Overall, not a fan. I would’ve given a 3 star, but consider they’re being sneaky and lying about how much they actually charge - they get a 1.

Been here a few times and it’s always been good. Service is amazing. They noticed were a bit cold and offered to have us sit in a warmer part of the restaurant. They were very attentive and it was definitely the best service I’ve gotten in a long time. The food was great too and definitely priced well. Appreciate the staff here.

When I’m in the area, it’s my favorite Japanese restaurant for lunch or dinner. Food is always consistent, hot and delicious. I usually get the spicy ramen along with some side dishes. Luckily, they have different spicy levels from mild to super spicy. Service is prompt and cheerful. I highly recommend Ramen Shu when you have a hankering for Japanese food.

A Hidden Gem for Veggie Lovers – Ramen Shu, Union City
If you’re looking for a cozy, flavorful, and satisfying vegetarian ramen experience, Ramen Shu in Union City is an absolute must-visit!
I ordered the Veggie Ramen and Chili Tofu, and both dishes blew me away. The veggie ramen broth is rich and deeply savory without being heavy—perfectly balanced and clearly crafted with care. The noodles are springy and cooked just right, and the toppings (especially the seasonal veggies and tofu) are fresh, vibrant, and generously portioned.
But the true star for me was the Chili Tofu— Soft and silky tofu, with a spicy, tangy glaze that hits all the right notes. It’s the kind of dish that turns tofu skeptics into believers.
The staff was friendly and attentive, and the vibe of the place is warm and welcoming, perfect for a casual dinner or a comforting solo meal. As a vegetarian, it’s often hard to find ramen spots that don’t feel like an afterthought
I’ll definitely be coming back. This spot is a rare find for anyone who loves ramen with bold flavor.

Hello, the ramen at Ramen Shu is one of the top ramen places here in this area. This is a family owned business they do focus on quality nevertheless quantity as well. I’ve been coming to this place over 4 years I do also frequent a lot over my time coming to this place as it’s also close to home they have never let me down. Also as my understanding in Japanese culture it’s disrespectful to rub chopsticks together to remove splinters and so on as I can also say they focus on the quality of their chopsticks which also shows their attention to detail. I am surprised they have not open more locals nearby although it shows they are focused on their craft more than anything. What’s really lovely about this local it has a homey atmosphere not a mainstream local and has quite various ramen dishes. My favorite are Shoyu Ramen, and Tonkotsu Ramen. Also I’ve tried all bento box and nonetheless they are all great options. They also do serve sake which is a great addition to your meal.
