Substandard. I think there are better places for ramen in Alameda.Smelled funky, wasn't clean, and one employee sat outside the front door smoking, with the smoke coming back into the restaurant.

We came here for dinner for the vegetarian ramen. We got seated right away. The place was pretty empty. One person sitting at a table waiting for a take out order and a family of four at another table. There were stacks of boxes in the corner at the back of the restaurant. It's really not a good look and not that inviting to come sit and dine at the restaurant. Plus it was really cold in there. We both ordered the 2 vegetarian ramen on their menu. Our food came out pretty quickly. The ramen was just ok, average at the most. I wish they would put more effort into making it tasty. I love miso soup base and wished they had that option for vegetarian ramen. The soy sauce based soup was just ok, not a whole lot of flavor though. You can barely taste the yuzu. I wish there were better vegetarian ramen options in Alameda. I was hoping this was it. Service wasn't so great. We finished our meal and no one checked in on us the whole time we were there. We finally couldn't wait any longer and got up to the counter to pay but no one was there to check us out. The 2 guys there were both in the back for a long time. They didn't notice us waiting until someone came in. Don't think we'll be coming back.

The food is good. Broth is tasty and not overly salty like some other ramen restaurants. If you order takeout, they separate the noodles from the broth to prevent ingredients from getting soggy. So the food is not the problem. The problem is the dine-in experience. The dining area is always very muggy feeling. I know there's a kitchen there and steam coming off of cooking broth must create a lot of humidity. But I think it's more of a ventilation problem. Other ramen restaurants, even ones with smaller dining areas, seem to deal with it well. This aspect of this restaurant can be improved.Bathrooms are kind of dirty. Service is fine. Not bad. Not great.

Ordered Ramen Hiroshi for the very first time for delivery. I will most certainly make an effort to come in because I'm sure this is 1000x better for dine-in.That said, even the take out was comforting and delicious. I do wish I had more broth (take out was given about 1/3 of a container).I look forward to trying again.

Nice to have a ramen option in Alameda. Came at lunchtime on a Monday (yes, some place open on Monday!). The Shoyu ramen didn't disappoint. A hearty bowl with two pieces of pork chasiu, bamboo shoots, nori, egg, fish cakes, lotus roots and a nice serving of ramen in the light soy sauce broth. Good comfort food dish.

It was overall pretty good, the chashu pork was the best part. It tasted like it was straight off the bbq grill. The broth is definitely on the heavy side and a bit too oily. The noodles are ok. Their staff is very friendly. The inside could also be cuter, I was really bothered by some of the fruit flies flying around. It wasn't overwhelming but they were there

Unfortunately, the best part of the review is the staff! They were so sweet and welcoming. The place always seems to be a bit empty and was pretty dark inside. We ordered the Chicken Miso Ramen to-go. The containers they pack them in came in handy. The flavor and texture, just wasn't there for me (but my boyfriend said it was decent and did what it needed to do) especially for the price. You can easily walk 5 doors down and get amazing quality from YoJimbo. As we love giving new businesses a try, we will give this place another try when we can eat it at the restaurant.

First time here, just happened upon it looking for a bagel shop. Small and quaint but tables were filthy. We wiped ours down and the wet wipe turned up black. Very slow service. Ramen was bowl of flavorless noodles. On a good note Chicken wings were awesome and the Service was friendly. Expensive compared to other ramen places. Bathroom was not clean. Won't be returning.

The weather keeps giving ramen vibes and I enjoy a good ramen. This place is okay. The menu is somewhat small but it does execute if one wants ramen. Ordered the Hiroshi Tonkotsu Ramen and the Tonkotsu Shoyu ramen. I shared Takoyaki and it was pretty good. High quality and very flavourful as it should be. Thera plenty of vegetarian option. Ramen took a while even though the place had low patronage. Presentation is great. Both broths were okay. I feel that it was very flat and not much stood out. It tasted a bit watery to my taste. Noodles were good and had good consistency. No waiter service. We asked for water and it seemed off to ask and we had no one refill our water. 20, 21, 51A, O AC Transit buses all go through here.
