Why do you offer “appetizers “ but the ramen noodles come out FIRST?!!!!

I have been here 10+ times in the last 3 years. It’s one of my favorite Japanese restaurants for lunch (usually that’s when I go) and they have a good discounted lunch menu. The food is always consistent and good which makes recommendation to friends easier. Although Ramen is in the name of the restaurant, their rice dishes are also good, especially the pork chashu. Otherwise I usually get the spicy pork or the black garlic ramen. They have different spicy levels from mild to super spicy but as a Thai, level 3 is a medium for me. The service is prompt and cheerful and the owner is friendly.

Parking can be a challenge because that shopping center is very active.

I do recommend this place if you are craving for Ramen and you lived around north Fremont and Union City, why go anywhere else.

My boyfriend got the aka ramen and I had the salmon don. The ramen broth was delicious and definitely to try. The salmon on my rice bowl was not of the fatty cuts you usually get on one in other restaurants and the rice is just white rice. However, they give a generous amount of tobiko. The owner and staff are very friendly and kind. I want to come back and try their ramen and abura soba for sure.

Super cozy space with seating for smaller and bigger groups, and the most delicious food! Everything from appetizers to entrees were so good. I especially loved the takoyaki, kimbap and karage, and got the kuro tonkotsuramen. Super flavorful and good portions too! Will be back soon :)

We came to Ramen Shu for my birthday dinner, and they were incredibly accommodating—even with our last-minute reservation. The service was genuinely wonderful; everyone was friendly, attentive, and made us feel really welcomed on a special night.

The food was delicious, and I really appreciated how thoughtful they were in accommodating my vegan husband. They offered great options for him without making it feel complicated, which made the whole experience even better for our family.

Overall, we had such a great time here. If you’re looking for good ramen, great service, and a team that goes the extra mile, I definitely recommend Ramen Shu!

I noticed a strong smell of moldy basement in the restaurant, the servers are nice and orders came quick. I had the pork dark oil Ramen and we shared the tofu apps. My cousins had chicken tonkatsu curry and salmon bowl and they loved it. The portions were good and struggled to finish. The ramen noodles were good and right consistency and broth is not too salty it’s just right

I came here for ramen last week and the service was exceptional! The owner was very considerate and accommodating, he let us stay at the restaurant past closing time so that we could finish eating and continue our conversation! He even bought us apple juice afterwards once he saw that we were continuing our conversation outside the restaurant! Thank you for being so accommodating and welcoming! Truly appreciate the warm and attentive service :)

Laundry night is always Bento Box night when I do the wash next door I ordered the pork bento box. If you ever want to eat a five star meal, and make your laundry day a lot less grinding. The pork bento box is the best. It will fill you up for 12 hours. It easily can feed three people that thing is huge! I arrived and threw on a load of wash and every time I order it's always ready in 15 minutes! By the time the washing machine is almost done I am halfway through the meal. Throw the load in the dryer and I go back to my car and feast on the rest. It's the perfect plan every time thank you for being accommodating and friendly and cooking me a five-star meal makes my wash day much more inviting

Veggie ramen is very mediocre, I didn't like it at all, half of it is cabbage(?????), the broth doesn't have any flavor. Good for Japanese curry though.

I went there around 7pm yesterday and ordered the Aka reman. Level 3 wasn't that spicy! It had a strong garlic flavor because there was a lot of garlic in it! It was pretty tasty overall, and the staff were very friendly!!

The ramen was really good. The ramen had perfect amounts of flavor and I had just got my braces. The restaurant owner saw me having a sore mouth and I couldn’t eat. After we payed the bill, the owner gave me a little surprise. What a nice gesture.
