So slow, in fact, I was ready to leave. I ended up staying because their croquettes ended up being delicious. Super crunchy on the outside and very soft on the inside. I was in heaven and ate them all. After I finished my croquettes, I waited for my ramen. Took about 40 minutes for it to come out. By the time it came out, I was underwhelmed by the presentation. A lot of ramen places take pride in presentation but Fujiwara called it a day and sent it out. I was skeptical until I took my first bite. I was pleasantly surprised. It was very good and not heavily seasoned with salt. I enjoyed it. Will definitely come back.

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.

The service was just a bit slow and they didn't check up on us and we had to call them over but the waitresses was very nice and I wouldn't say it impacted our meal greatly. The restaurant was clean and seemed well maintained it was pretty big, the lighting was pretty dim making it a great late night sushi date spot.

Fast food ramen in downtown Pleasanton…read more Went with the kids today as the missus was out of town. You order at the counter and they bring your food to you. We ordered miso ramen, bbq chicken and chicken katsu plate, and crab Rangoon and chicken kara-age appetizers, then shared everything. Total bill was about $60 after tax. The food didn't blow us away, but service was quick and portions were decent. My daughter didn't eat much of her miso soup, and we ended up taking most of it and some of the Kara-age home. Be careful parking on the street as the City of Pleasanton has special weekend no-parking hours because of the long lines for meadowlark dairy nearby (we got a $50 ticket!).

From all the available shops, she really wanted ramen, so we gave this place a try. They are located on the second level of the center and there was plenty of seating. My friend and her boyfriend and I were seated right away with the kind waitress. Looking at the menu, I know I had to try their signature ramen as well as a delicious appetizer. Chicken Karaage: This was delicious and crispy. The chicken was also moist and the Mayo sauce was good. I really enjoyed how the chicken was not oily at all and it was packed with flavor. This was a delicious starter. Hiroshi Tonkotsu Ramen: This is their signature ramen. It is a pork broth ramen filled with thinner noodles, an egg, bamboo, mushrooms, scallions and some truffle oil of sort, and not to mention two pieces of pork. Overall, this was a delicious broth. The soup was not too salty for me and the flavor was divine. The noodles were a bit thin for my liking, but still good. My only gripe was that once the broth settles and you eat most of everything, I cannot sip my broth due to the grainy texture I get at the end. Overall, I had a good time here with my friend and her boyfriend. I see myself coming back here again.

It was not a memorable taste and the broth was a little lacking. The spicy chicken wing were also a little lacking in flavor.

After 20 minutes, the hostess told me that most likely they won't be able to accommodate our party of five, as they had a couple of large groups, and that we have better chance if we split up. Two of us got seats right away at the bar, but the remaining three continue to wait another 10 minutes and then decided to go elsewhere. The two of us who got bar seats ordered unagi don and several of the BBQ skewers and a side order of rice. The unagi don tasted good, but the portion was kind of small for the price. While each tapas skewer was not particularly expensive, the prices quickly added up. The skewers were quite good though, and I particularly enjoyed the zucchinis stuffed with mentaiko. The grilled scallops and oyster mushrooms were also excellent. The restaurant serves a diverse range of Japanese foods and you can also get sushi, handrolls, ramen, teriyakis, etc. Service was attentive at the bar. I would like to give the restaurant another try as the menu looked promising. Hopefully no more long waits next time.

We were instructed to come up to the register to order when ready, and the food would be brought out. I don't mind this setup, but since the restaurant is small and the tables take up a lot of space, it can get congested at the front when busy. FOOD - Cucumber Salad - Shumai - Pork XLB - Chili Wontons We ordered these four items along with drinks, and everything was DELICIOUS. The quality is evident, as they prepare everything in-house, steaming and cooking each dish to order. The staff were very friendly, and the kitchen was busy with many people cooking and prepping. My FAV was the shumai. These were juicy and so flavorful. I look forward to returning to try more menu items!

Smaller restaurant, maybe 10-14 total tables. Light decor. With a see through window into the kitchen. When you enter you are pointed to a table.

We ordered the following: Popcorn chicken Crab and pork xiao long bao (8) Lo mein Pan fried pork buns (4) Popcorn chicken doesn't feel like they skimp and have good size chunks of chicken. Feels like Taiwanese fried chicken from your local boba shop. Xiao long bao was the star of the order, solid soup dumplings with great filling and broth. Pan fried pork buns, second favorite dish. Similiar as in a broth on the interior but purely pork. The bun is more of a softer bread you would get in like siopao in Filipino dishes. Quick service, food comes out quick, and plenty of portions that we eventually take home left overs. Staff is friendly and quick to clear tables. Highly recommend to stop by.
