Ramen Restaurants near Union City, CA

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

“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.“

“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 :)“

“Yuzu ramen was light and citrusy - great contrast to the typical heavy broth ramen you usually get. Kakiage and tea were both tasty as well. Our table split a matcha parfait at the end -- might have struggled to eat one solo. They don't do reservations -- prepare for the Yelp waitlist!“

“Ramen Arashi is easily one of my new favorite spots in Fremont. The food is legit. I ordered the Arashi ramen and it was super flavorful — rich broth without being too heavy, and the chashu was soft and tender. The noodles had the perfect chew, and the bowl came out piping hot, which I loved.

I also tried the karaage and it surprised me. Super crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and not greasy at all. Portion size was really generous too. Even the side toppings were fresh and well-seasoned.

Service was fast and friendly, and the prices are reasonable for the quality. I already want to go back and try more from the menu. If you’re anywhere near Fremont and craving ramen, this spot is a must-try.“

“I like the quality of their ramen. The portion, the thickness of the char siew and the onsen egg, delicious! If i can suggest one thing, it will the hotness of the soup. They have to serve it piping hot and it will be bring heaven to earth. We ate there today and the soup is just warm.. so maybe next time i visit here i hope they will make it more hot. Thanks!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“This is a great Japanese restaurant. We had a great time. The food was excellent. The atmosphere is quaint and romantic. You can sit at wooden tables with chairs or sit on a mat at authentic Japanese style tables. I highly recommend this restaurant for fun casual dining or for a romantic date night.“

“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.“

“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 😁“

Located across from Ohlone College so there was almost no lunchtime crowd. I was told that the busy time is after 3 PM when the students will come to eat. The place was clean and the food was OK. The service was good. I would say a solid four stars.“

“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.“

“When sashimi comes out at the right temperature, you know they’re doing it right. They have a great menu and prices aren’t absurd. I love this place and it’s arguably the best casual dining sushi restaurant I’ve ever eaten at. Please never change, Kigawa!“

“Wadaya hasn't left my mind yet. I love that the noodles are thicker than Kajiken. It makes for a chewier bite which I prefer. I'd say the taste is similar to Kajiken but maybe the flavor at Kajiken is a bit better. I definitely like the noodles here more. The absolute star of the show is the tiny scoop of rice they give you at the end to mix in with your extra sauce. I wasn't a believer at first until I actually tried it. Best bite ever. Holy.“

“Great rice noodle spot! The portions are super generous — they really don’t hold back on the toppings. Every bowl is loaded with ingredients, and you definitely get great value for what you pay.

Everything tasted fresh and flavorful, and the broth was rich without being too heavy. It’s the kind of place that leaves you feeling full and satisfied.

Will definitely be coming back!“

“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!“
