First time here and got lucky on a Saturday with 4 people. We were able to get a table right away. Great flavorful dry ramen! Price is reasonable. Pleasantly surprised how kid friendly this place was! They have Hello Kitty fish cakes. The servers would come by with a few goodies for my kids throughout dinner. It worked because my kids said they want to come back. Ambiance is cute and modern. read more

A solid spot for the rare mazemen/mazesoba in the Bay Area. The takowasa and takoyaki were good, maybe a bit overpriced, but solid. I love that they give rice after eating the noodles to fill you up as well as finish up the rest of the sauce. Also, the noodles were cooked perfectly. read more

Wadaya is a popular dry ramen spot, and every time I've visited at least 60% of the tables are taken. So it seems likely that I just don't enjoy dry ramen (mazamen) since all the times I've visited I've felt that the flavor and portion sizes of the dishes are mediocre. If you are looking for vegetarian options, their veggie mazamen is good quality. read more

The food was served fast and very delicious! We got the brothless and broth ramen and both were very tasty. Probably one of the best chicken karaage I've had as well - very hot and crispy. The Asahi draft beer is a nice touch. Servers were friendly and explained how the brothless ramen works since we were new. It was crowded on a Friday evening but we got seated quickly. We will definitely be back when we are craving ramen again soon! read more

This meal was DELICIOUS! I get the dry ramen hype! I tried the mentaiko ramen which was solid and had a yummy big shrimp tempura. However I think the Deluxe is better, more dynamic and complex and aromatic. The Deluxe had a delicious soft boiled egg and scrumptious pork slices that made me stop in my tracks. I could gobble an entire bowl. I can see myself trying more of the menu but missing the Deluxe every time hahaha. They give you a little bowl of rice at the end to finish off all the delicious dry ramen sauce. read more

Wadaya - front: mentaiko, back two: deluxe - Ramen Near Me - Fremont, California

It was mine and my husband's first time having mazemen and we were happy with the dish. We shared their mentaiko and deluxe mazemen and enjoyed both. If you're into something creamier, almost carbonara-like, the mentaiko is perfect for that. It was both of our favorites. The deluxe was also delicious and has a strong umami flavor! The service here was solid as well. The waitresses were attentive and explained how to eat mazemen. I also liked the interior of the restaurant, it looked modern and is Instagrammable if that's what you're into. I wish there was a restaurant closer to me that served mazemen because this place made me want more! read more

This place has good mazemen. It reminds me of Kajiken but I actually like this place better. The flavor profile is more what I'm looking for (it is less soy sauce based) and the noodles are thicker (closer to udon noodles). I did think the noodles were on the al dente side so a bit more hard than I personally like but it was fine. I may be in the minority of liking softer noodles. The Tokyo mazemen was quite good still and perfect amount of spicy. You can add vinegar to make it more tangy! They also give you a small side of rice to make a risotto with the sauce at the bottom. Service was friendly. They let me use the table purse holder tool (!) which I've never see anyone else offer before! Also I thought it was great the bathroom had female sanitary products! I've also rarely seen these offered! read more

Second time at Wadaya in Fremont, and a much smoother experience than when they first opened! We walked right in and were seated immediately. The service was great since it wasn't too crowded. We got the takoyaki and two Tokyo ramen entrees--the ramen came out right before the app, which was a little funny, but no big deal. The food quality feels consistent, and it remains one of the rare spots in the South Bay for this. Highly recommend! read more

They even kindly boiled the kale in my vegan mazemen for me given my concern over the current cyclosporosis outbreak!

I was very happy to hear that Wadaya opened in NorCal. I've been to the LA location several times and loved it so much. No wait on a Sunday evening. Service was friendly and efficient. I ordered the deluxe mazemen. It has a slight kick of spice from the spicy minced pork but nothing too crazy. I love how flavorful their mazemen is and especially love how creamy it gets after mixing the poached egg with the noodles. Their soft boiled egg is always cooked beautifully as well with a jammy yolk. I love adding vinegar to my mazemen for the acidity. Tried some of the mentaiko mazemen as well which wasn't bad but I definitely preferred my deluxe mazemen by a landslide. Thought the raw mixed greens didn't really complement the dish that well in my opinion. They give a small scoop of rice at the end to soak up the remaining sauce. Rice was on the soggy end but I personally didn't mind. Would definitely come back and highly recommend. read more

I really missed Mazemen in the South Bay since the one in viet plaza closed down so I wanted to try this place out. Not bad but I think the noodles can be more al dente and the flavor is nice but I think it could use some punch of umami. Felt like something was missing but couldn't really grasp it. I loved that they gave rice at the end but the rice was like a little hard on the outside and overcooked on the inside. Overall not bad but I would really need to crave mazemen to go again. read more

I completed an online order for a Deluxe mazemen bowl for pick up and the pick up process was straightforward and smooth. The shop itself was clean and not very busy when I arrived, so I was able to get my food on time with no issues. The meal itself had instructions on how enjoy it, which I appreciated. It was very flavorful and rich, which was good at the start, but eventually it got too much to finish. I am not used to adding umami vinegar halfway through/towards the end and I felt it made the dish not as good, so I'm glad I didn't add a lot of it. The portion size was great and most definitely can be shared if you aren't too hungry and want to also eat appetizers too. I would try another dish again in person. read more

Food is good! The ramens were all very good, if you want spicy but want to be able to adjust the level, they can give you the spicy paste on the side you can add as much or little as you want. The mentaiko ramen was good, it's creamy and the cheese melts very well. I got spicy but it wasn't very spicy, you could ask for the spicy paste on the side. After you are almost done with the ramen they do give you a small bowl of rice to eat it with the left over soup/sauce to eat making it like a risotto. The fried chicken came out very fast and it was nice and crispy. The squid was good but the breading falls off unlike the chicken. French fries were good and crispy too. The only thing was the shrimp tempura tasted greasy like it wasn't fresh oil, but it was very crispy. read more

Wadaya's mazemen was a very interesting and uncommon experience. You are instructed to mix, add vinegar halfway, and rice to eat with the remaining sauce, and this procedure did change up the experience. I ordered their flagship Deluxe mazemen, and while the flavor was "good" it also seemed "too much" and did not mend well. It wasn't bad per se, but very distracting. I would return to try their other bowls though! The restaurant was very clean and well decorated, and the staff were incredibly attentive! An excellent casual experience with a fun twist. read more

Wonderful service. Explained what dry ramen was and what to get based on what flavors we were looking for. Got the MENTAIKO MAZEMEN and it did not disappoint. It was creamy, delicious and very similar to carbonara just like he said. Huge portion for me and pricing was just right. The little rice at the end to soak up the sauce was yum :) The ramen soup was also thoroughly enjoyed by the other party. Thanks! read more

Came in on a Saturday around 5 PM for an early dinner with a friend. It was mostly empty at the time but started to fill up as we left around 6:30 PM. Clean and neat atmosphere. Seated promptly and had menu explained to us by the staff as it was my first time here. Also the staff were giving out Pokémon cards to the children at the table next to us, which was very cute. I got the vegan Tokyo mazemen with a side of slices chashu, which were great! Good balance of spice and savory. I did not add any of the house vinegar but did use all of the chili sauce. Big kale leaves were a bit unwieldy to mix in with everything but otherwise I loved all of the different toppings along with the chewiness of the noodles. The plant butter, avocado, oil from the chili sauce, and fatty chashu played well together with all the vegetables to balance them out. Friend had been to the So Cal locations before and also enjoyed their food (local special, spicy mentaiko mazemen). Nice and filling too, so we didn't get dessert but they had several crepe cake options from Anton SV Patisserie. Will be back to try their other offerings! read more

First time having mazemen & it definitely will not be my last! This meal was absolutely delicious! My mom and I started with some shishito peppers as an appetizer. These were perfectly flash fried and seasoned generously with salt. Great with a touch of lemon. For my mazemen, I got the Tokyo. The meat sauce was so rich and flavorful, the noodles were perfectly chewy, and the egg tied everything together with a slight creaminess. With a dash of vinegar and chili oil, this was a perfect bowl of dry noodles for me. My mom got the spicy mentaiko which was very reminscent of cream pasta. It was tasty, but I definitely enjoyed the tokyo bowl more. They finish you off with rice at the end to make a sort of risotto with the leftover sauce. The workers were really attentive and informative throughout our meal, explaining to us the proper way to eat the mazemen. The food also came out relatively fast. The place is very casual looking. Prices are a bit in the higher end for the portion, but it is really filling. read more

This place rocks! It was my first time trying mazemen and this place set the bar high. Our servers were so attentive, they were on top of everything before we could even ask. I got the deluxe and it was a great portion -- could definitely feed two with appetizers. The chicken karaage was bomb. The staff happily made alterations to the cheese mazemen for my vegetarian friend. The yuzu cheesecake was delish. Interior is clean and modern. read more

Came with a group of 5 and was able to get seated immediately during off hours around 2:30pm on a Saturday. This was my first time and I opted to try the deluxe mazemen, which was pretty good! Portion size was good and left me feeling pretty full at the end. The deluxe was a bit spicy, so maybe not the best if you can't handle spice. Service was awesome! Since it was my first time here one of the servers explained the menu in detail and offered recommendations and also highlighted some of the seasonal/new items on the menu. Our waters were also constantly refilled. read more

So I tried mazemen at a different restaurant before and didn't love it, but didn't hate it either. Fast forward to Thursday evening, we ended up coming here as a party of 3 around 6pm. We were able to sit wherever we wanted since it wasn't busy yet, but it filled up quickly after we arrived. All of the servers were so kind and helpful. We started with a couple pints of Asahi and a small hot sake. I went with the Deluxe Mazeman. Since it was my first time here, our server instructed us to mix everything quickly before eating, then at about halfway through, to try it with some vinegar. Can't forget to add the ground up sesame seeds. Every bite was full of flavor. Towards the end of the meal, they give you the cutest scoop of rice to eat with the remaining sauce. I could have done without it though because it felt like carb overload lol. I was in a good food coma afterwards, but so satisfied. Thoroughly enjoyed my meal at Wadaya more than my last mazemen experience. Can't wait to come back! read more

Crunchy and sweet and sour on top with spicy mayo as dipping sauce. We also got French fries and they were SUPER good and crunchy. The service was good.

I've seen Wadaya on the Yelp feed and I've had it bookmarked for awhile now. I finally got the chance to try them out! They are located in the Paseo Padre Shopping Center (often referred to as the 99 Ranch Plaza). They have plenty of parking here. The ambience is modern, updated, and clean. Simply decorated but with a good IG Photo op. Menu is on the QR code but you have to order with the waitstaff. They do have menus for you if you prefer. The staff were super nice, friendly, and attentive. We arrived close to when their kitchen was about to close, but we were able to order in time. They are known for their Mazemen, meaning "mixed noodles" in Japanese. It is a broth-less ramen style featuring thick, chewy noodles tossed in a concentrated, umami-rich sauce, aromatic oil, and various toppings. So, I ordered the... Deluxe: slice pork chashu, spicy minced pork, poached egg, scallions, chives, minced garlic, fish umami, seaweed flakes, seaweed, soft boiled egg. My wife ordered the... Mentaiko: (non-spicy or spicy) mentai caviar (slightly spicy), masago, poached egg, scallions, jumbo crispy shrimp Tempura, torched cheese, mixed greens, minced garlic, kamaboko fish cake, seaweed flakes. Our server told us to thoroughly mix our ingredients in each of our dishes and on my deluxe if I needed more flavor to add some of the vinegar (included kombu, red pepper). I loved the thick noodles that soaked up the sauce perfectly. We will definitely be back! Support your local business. read more

3.5 stars rounded up Staff: only one girl in particular was almost rude in her blunt dismissiveness, the other guy that helped us after the food came was fine. We both ordered the Deluxe Mazemen and shared shishito peppers. The noodles were generally good, leaning on quite salty as it usually is the case with dry ramen. The staff suggest trying with the homemade fish umami sauce but I personally didn't like it. The flavors of the sauce in noodles were heavy and complex but I can't say that it is in a good way. read more

Wadaya is located in the same plaza as 99 Ranch Market, two doors down from Phin Cafe. Parking is plentiful. We came on a Saturday right when they opened at 11am and got seated right away. We ordered.. CHICKEN KARAAGE $10 -wadaya style fried chicken. Homemade red sauce, kale, sesame seeds. We asked for the red sauce on the side since we had our toddler with us. It came out super hot, crispy batter with tender brown meat chicken. I'm glad we got the red sauce on the side since it was made of gochuchang..which I'm not a fan of. When the chicken cooled, it seemed to be kinda dry. They had a 30% off deal for this dish so we only had to pay $7, nice. 3/5* TAKOYAKI L.A. STYLE (4) $8.50 -japanese mayo, takoyaki sauce and bonito flakes. Crispy outside, melty inside. Wish there was more octopus! There was mostly batter. Flavors were good though. 4/5* IKAGESO (4) $8 -fried squid legs, japanese mayo, lemon wedge. Came out super crispy, squid legs were tender. Pretty fresh but simple. 3.5/5* TOKYO MAZEMAN $17 -spicy minced pork, poached egg, scallions, chives, minced garlic, fish umami, seaweed. The noodles were super thickkkk. Flavor wise, I wasn't a fan...it was pretty one note. I tried to add vinegar but it didn't do anything for me. They gave me a small scoop of white rice to mix into the leftover sauce but I didn't end up finishing my noodles.. 2/5* Service was very friendly and attentive. I appreciated how they took the time to explain everything. I just wasn't a fan of the foooood. read more

Wadaya is always solid! We got the Agedashi Tofu to start and I got the Curry Mazemen as my main. If you're unfamiliar, Agedashi Tofu is lightly deep-fried tofu served in a hot, savory broth. It's one of my personal favorite appetizers! The Curry Mazemen was delish! It features spicy minced pork, curry powder, kale, poached egg, scallions, minced garlic, fish umami, and seaweed flakes. Mix all of this goodness together and slurppp! After you've finished your noodles, they give you a small scoop of rice to enjoy with the leftover sauce- kind of like a porridge. So good. read more

Came here last night, party of 6, I got the mentaiko (fish-based?) soupless ramen for $24. We also got the takoyaki, LA style (which I think resembles most typical takoyaki). Basically it's sauce ramen, and they give you a little scoop of rice at the end to mix in with the sauce. We also go the edamame to get some veggies in us It's soupless but NOT quite tsukamen-style dipping ramen. The noodles are also kind of like a midway cross between what I think of when I think of ramen vs. udon. Pros: - Really cute vibes inside, very modern! This replaced the old tea six and I really like what they did with the space - All the servers were really nice in explaining the ramen style if you haven't had it before. They were also super attentive when we needed more chili oil, rice, etc. The manager was an older man who was so cute and nice! - Free parking in the Ranch 99 plaza - The edamame and takoyaki were delicious, I think the appetizers actually slapped - The mentaiko was really good for the first few bites, I liked the non-noodle toppings. The portions are HUGE. - The poached egg in the ramen was delicious Cons: - I wished the mentaiko came with more toppings, I think after finishing 25% of my bowl, the whole thing ended up feeling like it was just noodles after (superrrr carb heavy). The flavor was also pretty good for the first few bites, but then just started feeling really rich. Looking back I think I would have stopped eating earlier and taken the rest home. - They don't put prices on their hard copy menus (at least not the one with pictures), but it's not too big of a deal because the prices are on the mobile menu. I do wonder if it's to keep menus all relevant and prevent obsolescence if prices go up Overall, a really positive experience here and I really liked the appetizers. And the egg was prepared really well. I think if I came back I would try their regular traditional soup ramen. A solid first-try at soupless ramen though. read more

We came for Saturday lunch and were seated immediately. It was my parents' first time trying mazemen (dry ramen), and we had such a great experience with the service! Our server walked us through the menu, gave us recommendations, and explained the best way to eat everything, including how they give you a small cup of rice at the end to mix with the leftover sauce to make a "risotto." My brother also has a fish allergy, which we mentioned to our server, and they were very careful about accommodating it. I really appreciated how attentive they were about making sure his food was safe. I ordered the Tokyo Mazemen and loved how flavorful it was. The spring onions and fresh garlic paired so well together, and the noodles were super springy and bouncy. The sauce did get a little heavy toward the end, but it was delicious mixed with the rice at the end. Overall, a really great mazemen experience! I'd definitely come back if I'm in Fremont read more

Found a new ramen place and decided to try them out in fremont. This restaurant has a nice front and decor inside. They even have a wall where you can take pictures of. Service was pretty good and they were pretty attentive. When they gave me the menu they explained to me what they are known for which is the mezamen which is dry ramen. Since I wanted soup I went with their california tonkutsu with black garlic oil. I also ordered their hello kitty fish cake with chili oil and I highly recommend it. The california tonkutsu was actually really good and the broth was very tasty. I recommend trying their vinegar on the pork. The vinegar wasn't overwhelming it had a good kicked to it so atleast try it out. I also had their hokkaido milk mille crepe. Really nice texture and not sweet at all so I try out the dessert. All in all good food and good customer service. I would definitely return to try their dry ramen. read more

Dry ramen anyone? Luckily it wasn't too busy when my friend and I arrived here for dinner on a weekend. It was my back up plan. I originally had another place in mind but they were closed. This place was in my bookmarks and wanted to try it out. My friend said she had been here before and love how it's always consistent and good. Menu is straight forward and easy to follow. Thoughts? Generous portions for the price. Very filling and rich in flavor. Prompt and attentive service. Nice chewy noodles. Lots of meat in my bowl. Two types of eggs. They give you a side of rice to soak up all the meaty leftovers. I think I like a similar specialized restaurant in San Mateo more because of the type of noodles but this place is decent. I would come back! read more

Finally had a chance to try WADAYA. This restaurant is located inside a busy plaza in Fremont (this used to be where TEA SIX was located). Small space; very clean and limited seating. After much hype, was craving ramen -- something soup based, decided to try WADAYA with my family. There was a line waiting outside. As it's my first time, I was told to check in and add our name to the kiosk by the front door. The staff at the time of check in said it would be roughly 10-15 mins wait time. As 15 minutes had passed, I checked in with the staff and was told that it would be an additional 20-25 minutes wait time. After waiting for 30 minutes; I got a notification that our table was ready. Would have loved for the staff to be more organizes for check in and long wait times. A small selection on their menu but the Ramen was worth the wait. Very fresh and delicious broth. Appetizers were okay; didn't try the desserts. Would recommend the ramen and would return in the future. read more

The customer service is unmatched here they are so attentive and kind. I love that they ask you if you have been there before and explain the meñu. My parents have never had Mazemen so that was very appreciated. My parents got the California Tonkatsu (non spicy) as well as the Spicy Miso ramen. I ventured out and got the Tokyo, but it sounds like the Deluxe is also popular! 10/10 must get the chicken karage. Juicy and flavorful, the spicy mayo sauce it's paired with gives it a nice creamy kick. Overall so happy we finally got to try this place.

This is long overdue! I've been twice already and enjoyed the experience both times. First off, excellent customer service! They genuinely want you to enjoy the food and ambiance. Kind people work here and they go out of their way to make sure everything is well. Good amount of seating and parking is shared with 99 Ranch. Food: *Deluxe Mazemen: sliced pork chashu, spicy minced pork, poached egg, scallions, chives, minced garlic, fish umami, seaweed flakes, shredded seaweed, soft boiled egg (yes! They have two eggs!) noodles *Saitama (ground chicken) Mazemen *Curry Mazemen *Chicken Karaage *Shishito Peppers Add some of their homemade Umami vinegar when you're halfway through to get rid of the slick heaviness. It adds a whole new flavor profile. Sprinkle some sesame seeds on there too for extra nuttiness. I've had dipping ramen before elsewhere but didn't like how the broth gets cold and it ends up having an aftertaste I'm not fond of. Dry ramen is a whole other ball park and I'm a fan! Just can't have it all the time because it does get rich in texture. Their noodles are always al dente. Perfection. Order sides to add in like corn, bamboo shoots, woodear mushrooms, cilantro, etc. They're not included unless specified. They provide a small scoop of steamed rice toward the end to soak up all the leftover sauces. Great idea! read more

My family and I came here on a Sunday night, and it is the best mazemen that we've had. Their mazemen has an authentic Japanese flavor that many restaurants don't do right, and Wadaya just hits the spot. The appetizers are amazing. We got the takoyaki, chicken karaage, and ikageso. I would recommend all three. Now for the dessert which deserves its own paragraph. We ordered the Hokkaido Milk Crepe Cake, and wow! It blends in the perfect amount of milky/creamy flavor of Hokkaido milk into a delicate crepe cake. It's a must get here. We also had the Yuzu Cheesecake. I love the hint of yuzu on a creamy cheesecake, and it comes with a scoop of ice cream. It's so refreshing after an amazing bowl of mazemen. Lastly, the service. A1 customer service from everyone! Our waters were always filled. We even got our bowl of rice for the mazemen without even needing to ask. We felt the care that comes with every meal and the care for each customer who dines here. We will absolutely be coming back. read more

Came on a Sunday around 11:30am and was seated right away. Wadaya has a bright, chill, and cozy vibe, and I was excited to see a mazemen spot open up in the East Bay. Service was quick, attentive, and friendly. The servers came by about three times to refill our waters, which I really appreciated. They also gave a thorough explanation of how to best enjoy the mazemen, which was helpful if it's your first time trying it. What I ordered: Deluxe Mazemen - This was a lot of food and super filling! The noodles had a great chew and everything was well seasoned. I highly recommend adding the sesame and vinegar from the table. It adds another layer of flavor and really elevates the dish. Toward the end, they also give you a side of rice to mix with the leftover sauce, which is a nice touch and makes sure none of that flavor goes to waste. 5/5 Overall, great service, cozy atmosphere, and a satisfying mazemen experience. I'd definitely come back to try more of the menu . read more

Yelp, am I being Punk'd right now? 20ish minute wait for a table, 15ish minute wait for staff to remember I'm here and get to order.... Setting the scene for you that we're off to a slightly hangry start. I ordered the deluxe mazamen; I figured that's the way you gotta go.... Go big or go home. One bite in, so many regrets, I should have gone home!! The amount of seaweed flakes and umami dumped in my bowl was disgusting. Each bite was a strong, tart, overpowering seaweed flavor. I had ordered two eggs (my favorite part of a bowl of ramen), and took a bite out of one to spare my mouth with a different flavor.... It was cold. Refrigerator cold. Maybe that's normal for mazamen, but it disappointed me. The intense, undesirable flavor was making both my dining partner and I feel nauseous. Neither of us could eat more than half of our bowls-- remember, I mentioned how hangry we were? Left hungry and incredibly nauseous for the hour long ride back home. This is a skip! read more
