5 year update: I am a vegetarian, and I still maintain my original rating. There are only two vegetarian selections, but it's enough. It's quality over quantity, which matters. I am a regular here, I go there once a week, of I can manage it.
My first time here. I had the Shumia and the Gyu Don. Both were tasty and the service was very friendly. I went around 8 pm and the food came relatively quickly. I will go back to try something else.

Who’s rating this place 5 star?? Very plain taste for ramen. And it costs $20 dollars total. Only 2 people during peak hour. Music is fine and peaceful. But food is terrible.

The broth is too salty. And the Yushu (fish) Ramen doesn't accentuate the fish at all.

I had an incredible dining experience at Tadamasa! The ramen was absolutely amazing — the broth was rich and full of depth, and the noodles were cooked to perfection. Every bite was comforting and packed with flavor. The appetizers were equally impressive. The fried calamari was crispy and tender, with just the right amount of seasoning, and the edamame was perfectly seasoned, making for a delightful start to the meal.What truly made the experience stand out, though, was the hospitality. The owners were so welcoming and kind, making us feel like we were part of their family. It’s clear they put a lot of love and care into their restaurant, and it really shows in the food and service.If you’re craving delicious ramen and fantastic appetizers with warm, welcoming service, Tadamasa is the place to go. I can’t wait to return!

I had high hopes for this ramen spot, but it was a huge letdown. The ramen and udon were way too salty—almost inedible. It felt like they just dumped a ton of salt in the broth without any real depth of flavor. The tempura? Not even close to authentic. It was overly hard, greasy, and tasted like it had been sitting under a heat lamp for too long. Definitely not the light, crispy texture you’d expect from real tempura. Honestly, I’m questioning all these glowing reviews. Are we even eating at the same place? Either people have never had decent ramen before, or something shady is going on. Save your money and go somewhere that actually knows how to make Japanese food properly.
I have lived in Japan and always crave Japanese Food which is not American and I liked the food here. Space is small so there can be a long wait time.

Small little restaurant that is good for their ramen! I love their black garlic oil ramen! And they are pretty consistent and make delicious food. Its generally crowded in the peak hours so time yourself when you go!

My favorite ramen place in Union City. Their black oil garlic ramen is the best and my goal to whenever I stop in to visit. I also always order the calamari appetizer with extra jalapeños. Best kept secret in Union City!!

Very very salty. We ordered 2 bowls and both are really bad. I rather eat instant noodles.
One of the tastiest ramen I have had in my life!
