Dry Ramen
Karen S.

We went here on a Sunday late afternoon, so didn't have to wait long to be seated. The dry and soup ramen was delish but the baked Spaghetti Bolognese could be better. The sauce lacked meat and that ruined it for me. Overall good service and fast.

Baked Ox tongue rice with tomato sauce

There's honestly not that many ramen places in Dublin but this is where we go whenever we are craving ramen! The ramen is decent, beer is super affordable, and staff is always nice. We usually get the kuro tonkotsu. But if you're in the mood for something lighter, the butter scallop is nice as well (just ask them to exclude or take out the butter before it all melts if you don't want that). On top of ramen they also serve Hong Kong style dishes. Personally I prefer their ramen over the rice and spaghetti entrees.

Fried oysters
Jeff W.

First time here and it was good, albeit pretty pricey for ramen. It's a later dinner crowd that came here on a Saturday so arriving at 5:15 was just fine. We were seated quickly and our order was taken. Only a couple tables were occupied when we arrived. The fujiwara ramen was flavorful. It came out really hot too. At first, it looked small so I also ordered the fried oysters. As I ate, I realized the bowl had a lot more food and ramen in it than one could see and the oysters had a lot of batter on them. Between these two, I was pretty full afterwards. Beers on tap are inexpensive. Service was quick and the staff was pleasant. By the time we left around 6:30, the place was packed and there was a line outside. Would I come back again? Not sure. It's not that the food is bad - in fact it's good. But it is expensive to take a family of 4 here in the grand scheme of things.

I was in the area and really craving some bomb so I decided to check this place out. Upon entering, it's a mix of Cantonese, Hong Kong Cafe, food and Japanese food. I will say my favorite was the car. The pieces were very large and very filling after eating an entire order I pretty much couldn't eat any of the Ramen anymore. The Ramen that I got was the black garlic tonkatsu, which was definitely heavier and denser. Soup was pretty good, but after a couple bites, especially after eating the chicken I couldn't eat anymore and had to take it back home. My grandpa got a chicken Ramen, and he said there wasn't much flavor. I didn't really try so I'm not exactly sure. Parking took a minute especially in the evening. It is located in a plaza however, there's plenty of businesses there too.

Garlic chicken wings with fries

They inherited ramen restaurant and now providing hk cafe style restaurant. So, they have two menus. Haven't tried ramen but see many people ordering it and finishing the bowl... good sign that it may be good. However, I'm interested in the hk style cafe menu. That didn't disappoint... in fact very good. 5* Fried chicken wings marinated with garlic sauce 5* Hk style milk tea 5* curry beef tongue rice 4* service (no complaints) Will be back!

Had their ramen a long time ago, and it was pretty good. However, this review is focused on their Hong Kong cafe items. Sometime in 2024, Fujiwara introduced Hong Kong (HK) style cafe menu. Wifey loves HK food so we had to try. We went with a few Hong Kong folks. The fried chicken wings were legit and the fries were very crispy. The curry fish balls were not bad, but thought the flavor was a tad lacking. I had the baked seafood with white cream sauce and I liked it. I went again recently and tried their curry ox tongue with rice. There were a lot of tongue pieces and tender enough with still some texture for chewing. What made my meal better was the Asahi draft beer. Interesting that they offer both ramen and HK cafe food, but good enough taste for me that I would go back. Still tons of HK food items I would like to try.

This is an interesting place that offers Japanese and Hong Kong cafe fusion dishes. My default dish is their curry ox tongue rice. With a full price menu item, a Hong Kong milk tea can be had for $2. The ox tongue is sliced and tender. Together with curry sauce and rice, each bite is quite heavenly. Surprisingly you can eat all the rice before all the slices of tongue. That's enjoying the dish. It is competitively priced. The wait staff speaks Cantonese and English so nothing will be lost in translation. Service is friendly and accommodating. I definitely be back for more.

Spaghetti with meat sauce
Sylvia K.

Came here a few times after Fujiwara added the HK style food. We have tried many different dishes. Curry ones are always good. Love the curry beef tongue . The curry seafood has very little seafood. Chicken a la king was yummy if you don't like red sauce. Love their HK milk tea too. One time when we wanted more condensed milk, they gave us the whole bottle! LOL! But the next time, we only got a little. French toast is also our favorite too. We have tried to Ovaltine toast as well and liked it. It's not too sweet so it's perfect. My family tried the ramen and said it's good too. Overall, this place is legit for HK cafe styled food!

menzame
Jack H.

Really enjoyed the food at Fujiwara. Their menu had a lot of options that can suit a big party with different cravings. The menzame was silky and flavorful. The combination of the fresh veggies and saltiness of the pork makes a great mix. I would recommend ordering this since it is a bit unique for the Dublin area and it feels lighter compared to a full bowl of noodle soup. The agedashi tofu is something I would also recommend. The sauce is flavorful and the tofu has a nice crunch. Taste and texture is on point with it. The service was quick here. We got our food within a few minutes of sitting down, so it is a perfect spot for a quick lunch.

Nice cozy spot for Japanese comfort food. The place reminds me a bit of a sports bar but not the feel of it. They have tv's there for the game, a center bar area. The service was okay. They only had one worker that hosted and served all the tables. The food was good. I really enjoyed the crispy chicken katsu but the meat itself was still juicy and not dried.

This location is down the street in Dublin and we were about an hour out from close. It was a slow weekday and they were able to serve us quick and easy! A $15 bowl of ramen, with great portion and great flavor (compared to other bigger cities who overcharge and give significantly less)? How can I not be happy? Albeit I am a vegetarian and I got the veggie ramen with tofu, mushrooms, corn, bean sprouts and a boiled egg on the side. I also opted for the creamy version of their veggie broth and loved it. Ramen noodles were great and cooked well too. I feel like I can go to ramen spots who disappoint me easily when it ventures too far out of the norm, and this was an easy meal that was quick, reliable, and hit the spot. I haven't tried their other options though I do know they offer other Hawaiian bbq staples (I saw a number of people ordering those to-go). Not sure how those are... but I'm happy to report their ramen does the job. Happy gals!

The fried oysters were also a great size and came with two dipping sauces, which was a nice touch. The maze ramen was a big portion and even my toddler enjoyed it. The standout for me was the tempura ice cream--perfectly crisp with a thin, light shell. Service: Our server was friendly, efficient, and very accommodating. However, the host experience was frustrating. The Yelp waitlist wasn't working on a busy Friday night, which seemed to cause some disorganization. We were quoted a 25-minute wait for a party of three, but ended up waiting 45 minutes. During that time, multiple parties of three who arrived after us were seated first. When I checked in at 35 minutes, I was told we were "next," but that didn't seem to reflect what was happening. At 45 minutes, after checking again and explaining how long we'd been waiting, we were seated immediately. It was confusing and especially difficult with a hungry toddler. Parking: Parking can be tricky. The restaurant is located under an apartment complex with limited guest spots on the first floor of the garage. If it's full, you'll have to exit and find street parking (which is minimal) or park across Dublin Blvd and walk. Overall: This was close to a perfect experience. The food and server were great, but the disorganized wait and host interaction took away from it. Hopefully they improve their system for busy nights, especially if the Yelp waitlist goes down again.

Our party of six were seated in a spacious booth towards the middle of the restaurant and were warmly greeted by our server. The restaurant had good vibes! After the birthday girlie opened a few presents, one of the managers came to our table to ask if we wanted some group photos b/c she noticed we were celebrating! She was soooo sweet, observant, and attentive! c: After looking at the extensive menu, I knew I wanted to try some of their sushi rolls so I shared a few with a friend. We ordered the Caterpillar Roll, Klondike Express, and the Chili Spider Salmon Roll. These are my ratings / thoughts on our order: - Caterpillar Roll (4/5): This roll is under Amakara's Common Rolls. Filled with unagi, cucumber, avocado and glazed with teriyaki sauce, this roll is a classic and was delicious! The avocado was creamy, the teriyaki was sweet/ umami, and the unagi was delicate and tender. I also appreciate that the pieces were perfectly bite- sized. I'm glad I tried this roll but would prefer to try a new one next time. -Klondike Express Roll (5/5): This roll was tasty and oh so colorful! Rolled with cucumber, crispy, tempura shrimp, fresh crab, and avocado w/ scallop mayo, this roll was an explosion of flavors. I love that it was garnished with bits of crunchy tempura and 3 flavors of tobiko for texture. The tobiko really added "wow factor" to the roll and each color had a subtle citrus flavor! My friend and I were trying to decipher the 3 flavors of tobiko and concluded yellow = lemon, green = lime, and orange = orange. This roll was fun and would definitely order again! -Chili Spider Salmon Roll (5/5): The Chili Spider was BEAUTIFUL and hands down my favorite roll of the night!! This roll is under Amakara's Spicy Rolls and was interestingly topped with vibrant tomatoes, thinly sliced onion, and tender salmon. Filled with avocado and tempura soft-shell crab and drizzled with chili oil and ponzu, this roll was uniquely fresh and delicious! I've never had onions and tomatoes on a roll but it worked and I would definitely come back and have again! I had a great time here with friends and really enjoyed the food! I will definitely come back to try some unique and flavorful dishes!

So I remember this place…read more Years ago I would go hang out with my girlfriend after she got off work, and we would go to their Walnut Creek location if we had a craving for Ramen. The very first time I had them, I thought it was really good. But for some reason over time I felt like the quality in flavor slightly went down over time. That being the case I was a little worried about trying this other location since my previous experience wasn't the best. However recently Im happy to say that my experience was a bit better than the last time. I really enjoyed the Karaage. The meat was crispy and juicy. As for my ramen, I got a Tonkotsu. My favorite thing with ramen is the broth. Hiroshi's broth was really tasty. I think sometimes you'll never have as good experience as the first time you try something. That's how I feel with this Ramen place. The ramen was good but it just scratches the itch for me. It's not something that makes me crave it again the next day.

It was not a memorable taste and the broth was a little lacking. The spicy chicken wing were also a little lacking in flavor. It just seem to have a spicy taste and the wing were quite small (serving size of 4 wings). Overall it was just OK.

When I brought it up and even pointed out the worker, the staff claimed they had no idea what I was talking about. At that point, I just let it go but honestly, it didn't get any better from there. Every dish we ordered was bland, lacked flavor, and wasn't consistent at all. To make matters worse, I noticed something concerning near the cashier. They were refilling the water jug using what looked like a used plastic container that didn't appear clean or sanitary, which was really off-putting. Overall, this experience was disappointing from start to finish, both in terms of service and food quality.
