    Miso Ramen
    Johana M.

    It's been a while since I've been to Yugo Ramen and I have to say, the service and quality of food has remained the same. It's nostalgic to be back to an "OG" ramen place for me in Newark. The ambience has always been relaxing, the type that invites you to stay here way longer after you're done with your meal.

    "Warm Bowls, Fast Service, and a Standout Shumai" Food (5 / 5): On a cold day like this, a hot bowl of ramen absolutely hits the spot -- and this place delivers. Right now they even have a Black Friday deal: buy one ramen bowl, get the second one 50% off, so definitely bring a date and make it a ramen night. We ordered the Yugo Ramen and the Shio Ramen, and both were excellent. The ingredients taste genuinely fresh -- the bamboo shoots were crisp (not soggy at all), the chashu pork was flavorful and tender, the broth was light yet full of depth, and the noodles had that perfect firm bite I personally love. Surprisingly, the dish that stole the show was actually the Fried Shumai. My wife couldn't stop talking about how good it was -- even during the drive home. Crispy, flavorful, and definitely a must-order appetizer. Service (5 / 5): The service here is impressively fast. After we ordered, our meals showed up in what felt like 10 minutes. The host was incredibly warm and welcoming -- possibly the owner -- and she even walked over to say goodbye and bowed to thank us before we left. Small gestures, big impact. Ambience / Décor: The restaurant offers dog-friendly outdoor seating, which is a big plus. The outside area has nice seating and feels comfortable enough to enjoy your meal without rush. Overall: Fresh ingredients, fast service, great flavors, and a genuinely kind staff make this spot worth a visit. With the ramen deal going on and that unforgettable fried shumai, you'll definitely want to come back.

    This place has so far survived being at Newpark Mall! I come here randomly when I need to charge our car. Boba is okay. They have alcoholic boba. Curious about that, but I didn't get any this time around. I was bummed by the ramen I had. It honestly had no flavor at all. Maybe I'll try something else on the menu next time. Service though is great. Met the owner and she's just lovely. The teen cashier was also amazing too. Very shy but she made sure to be attentive.

    I would definitely recommend this I came here for lunch today and got the salmon and rice I could have definitely shared this because it was a big portion but decide to indulge so delicious and they even have a claw machine for the kidos

    Chicken Karaage

    Hidden gem! We just recently moved to Fremont and found this place. It's now my go to spot for comfort food. The interior is beautifully designed and decorated with warm lighting and brick making the open space feel warm and inviting. The food and portion size is amazing. My favorite is the Spicy Pork Kimchi Don with a Honeymoon drink, my fiancé loves their Yugo Ramen and Assam Milk Tea. We recently tried their chicken karaage and it was so good! Crust on the outside, tender and juice on the inside. The service is impeccable, every time we've dined in, the workers are quick, check on you often, and the food comes out quick and fresh! We love Yugo Ramen and we wish them success!

    Vegetarian ramen with Shrimp
    Amitha S.

    Obsessed with this place! I got the vegetarian ramen, switched out the kale noodles for regular noodles, added shrimp, and got it spicy. it was seriously one of the best bowls I've ever had. The restaurant is so clean and the owner is so kind. My friend had the chicken ramen and loved it too!

    Nice experience overall. I really enjoyed the outdoor seating , definitely the highlight. The staff and manager were great, friendly and welcoming. I tried the Seafood Ramen. It was okay, with a good one, standard taste. Good spot for the atmosphere and service.

    Not too many people are visiting the mall anymore so there isn't too many people eating at the restaurant. Service is always fast and food comes out fast. Yugo ramen (house ramen) is my favorite dish to get and my partner is able to get chicken ramen with chicken broth which is hard to find since most places have pork broth. I've visited this restaurant throughout the years and quality is perfect as always!

    It's great to have a new ramen option in Fremont, and Yugo gets a lot right. The restaurant itself is modern and clean, with a pleasant atmosphere that's surprisingly nice considering its in the dead nepark mall. The service was a real standout - our servers were exceptionally friendly and attentive throughout the meal. The ramen is the main event, and it shows promise. We tried the Yugo Special and the Miso Ramen; in both, the broth was rich and the ajitama (seasoned egg) was perfectly cooked. However, a couple of key items missed the mark for us, especially considering the price. The chashu pork was rather bland and not very tender. The bigger letdown was the Okonomiyaki Fries. It's a creative idea, but the execution involved thick, unseasoned fries covered in an overwhelmingly sweet sauce. We found we couldn't finish them. Yugo has a great foundation with its atmosphere, service, and ramen broth. I'd recommend sticking to the classic ramen bowls and passing on some of the sides.

    The BEST service in the east bay! One time the kids and I forgot our leftovers and the shop owner herself chased us down the escalator and into the parking lot to make sure we had them again. She is EXCELLENT. And her staff are always delightful and my kids adore coming and ordering for themselves: miso ramen without meat, shrimp yakisoba, chicken karage, and three passion fruit slushies. Sometimes we add edamame or cucumber salad for veg.

    I was on an overnight for my work trip and decided to check this ramen restaurant out. I ordered the Yugo Ramen which was their specialty and it was delicious. It wasn't too salty just the right amount of flavors and the broth was very tasty. The ramen noodles are fresh and the accompaniment was fresh and plentiful. The charsu pork was good. I enjoyed the black mushrooms they were tasty. Service was great, fast, efficient, and helpful. I was the only customer in there so I for my food relatively fast. Ambiance was nice, spacious, clean, and alot of seating area.

    Yugo ramen with extra egg
    Jon Y.

    I must've frequented this ramen spot some 15-20 times over the years. Surprised I haven't left a review yet honestly. Welp, I need my ramen badge so no time like the present. ;) I like Yugo ramen. A pleasant restaurant with ever-friendly staff and good food. Gone are the days where ramen shops at a shopping mall means a lesser experience. The ramen is pretty good. I typically go with their namesake yugo ramen (black garlic). It's fine to be perfectly honest here. Nothing spectacular, but good flavor and a satisfying overall bowl of noodles. That said, what is truly great here is their chicken karaage. Large, crunchy and seasoned better than most places I've been. It's totally not a traditional karaage, but it's very delicious every single time. Another great dish here is the stir fried beef yakisoba. It has a wonderful sweet and salty flavor to it, these noodles have a nice bite to them, lots of tender beef, the veggies are plentiful (if you're into that) and the dish is sauced well. Moist in a good way. Thanks Yugo ramen!

    This is actually my second time dining here. The food is really good here along with the atmosphere! I don't often eat ramen, but as of now, this is my go to. The staff are friendly to me. It's located at Newpark Mall specifically at the area where Jack's Restaurant & Bar and Vinum is. They pretty much serve appetizers, boba, and lunch offers. When I ordered to go, they were really fast, but for some reason, they take longer as usual. I guess that they're prioritizing people who ordered to go. Anyways, I'll be trying other dishes when I come back!

It's a small place, but they were able to position all the tables and chairs so that there's room to move around. Ordering was convenient. We were able to scan the menu at our table and paid quickly remotely. Our food came out on a timely manner. We were able to try the Clam ramen, Hinodeya ramen, and the Tonkatsu. They were all delicious and very much to our liking. Presentation is something i noticed they take pride in. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted promptly, the decorations on the front entrance is what lured us in. The tables all had a tiny lamp that you can turn on and off. All the servers were wearing coordinated attire with the restaurant logo on it. They were all attentive to our needs and constantly filled up our water and took empty dish away when the table started to feel tight/crowded. All Ramen we tried had the WOW bursting with flavors. I highly recommend this place.

They have some diverse offerings on the menu and are an asian fusion with Hawaiian, Chinese, and Japanese on the menu. Seems odd but the reason we came here over other places was I saw they had Honey Walnut Shrimp on the menu and its been almost a year since I had it. Interior is on the newer side and the large windows create a lot of nice natural light inside. Golden Eel Rice: A bright yellow egg moat with rice and garnish in the middle. The egg is topped with Unagi. Loved how clean this one tasted but in hindsight I could make something like this at home and should have went for some of the more standard sizzling plates. Beef Rice: Beef surrounding a mound of rice with corn and green onion toppings. It comes with a paper ring around it to remind you it is HOT and you will burn yourself if you touch it. It stays hot for a long time and the kids loved cooking on it. The rice also gets that nice black crunchy char layer on it which my wife loves.
