Ramen Shu, Union City CA

Great atmosphere, good food with ok portions.

This place is cozy and a lot bigger than it looks from the outside. The service is decent. Great for solo or large group gatherings. Yummy condiments on the table for everyone.

I got the black garlic oil ramen with an extra soft boiled egg. It was great, if you like your ramen flavorful and oily this is a good place to try. However the portion is a bit disappointing for the price ($17+ per entree), I only have a single slice of meat in my ramen and not that much noodles, and I don't think I'll be full if I didn't pay extra for the added egg.

My go to Ramen Shop. This place has changed hands several times or at least change names since I've moved here 13 years ago. But the ramen has always smacks here. They also have other dishes here that are pretty good. Takoyaki is really good here just be careful to make sure it cools off first before you eat it since they make it fresh.

Solid. Perhaps not the same as a back alley in Tokyo, but it's Union City. Saying high floor/low ceiling seems mean - Honestly, I can't complain about bad experience or bad food ever here over the last several years. Whenever my girls have a craving, we usually put an order in here and get it to go. Their chicken/rice is only ok and I do miss some of their fried fish bento boxes.

Amazing little gem in Fremont. The tonkotsu broth base here it rich and very flavourful and very comparable with some of the other great ramen places in Asia. Service was pretty good and parking is easy. I recommend the black garlic (kuro tonkotsu) or if you like a little kick, take the red garlic oil (aka tonkotsu) ramen - but be warned that even level 2 can be quite spicy. Will I be back? Definitely!

Delicious ramen moods, very amicable service. The food was tasty and served hot. Only con is that they have no chicken option and only 1 vegetarian option. I thought vegetarian won’t be good but it was outstanding and tasty.
Looking forward to visit often.

Very good local ramen restaurant. Not the best in the Bay Area (that’s a high bar) but very good and the best I’ve tried in this area. Very accessible, close to the Union City BART, and at a major intersection. Lots of available parking (big lot) and lots of other businesses in the area.

The ramen is super oily and my friend got food poisoning after we dined here, do not recommend

I love the place and the people, the aka ramen was outstanding and takoyaki delicious! Totally recommended

Very amazing and cozy atmosphere with great people to welcome you. The food is delicious. We had the spicy kuro miso ramen and tonkotsu ramen.

Very Delicious, authentic Ramen.
Friendly and attentive staff and the owner is great

Flavourful stock, delicious toppings, and wonderful textured noodles. Spacious; if you need a party of 5 people needing accommodation.

Overall decent meal. The ramen was good but I wish the egg didn't cook so fast. I might try the aburasoba next time.

Got the aka with spicy level 1. The tonkatsu broth was super rich and thick. The egg was nice and runny but I had to eat it right away because it was cooking in the broth. I would describe level 1 spice as not spicy at all, you could smell the chilis but it wasn't burning.
