Went to Yugo Ramen on Mother's Day with a table of six and was pleasantly surprised by how easy the whole experience was. Even during the lunch rush, we got seated quickly and the service stayed consistently fast and friendly. The menu is fairly focused, mostly ramen and donburi, but everything we ordered was done well. We tried a mix including chicken teriyaki, salmon teriyaki, vegetable donburi, and a ramen bowl. Portions are generous enough that we were sharing dishes across the table without any issue. We also ordered milk tea and an avocado slush, which were both better than expected and not just filler drinks. Atmosphere-wise, it's a nice space, modern, open, high ceilings, and comfortable even when it's busy. Overall, it's an easy recommendation: simple menu, solid execution, good portions, and smooth service. I'd definitely go back. read more

Yugo Ramen is a family-run restaurant and one of the few businesses still holding on in this dying mall in Newark. Besides the jewelry store, a hot topic and a children's gym/play space. I was randomly nearby and got hungry so I decided to stop and get some Ramen, which I'm a huge sucker for. I ordered their special (Yugo Ramen) with spicy paste and added corn to it to balance the spice. The broth was flavorful and the noodles were perfectly cooked. The char siu was generous in portion and well cooked and the perfectly runny egg topped it all off. Service was great. They came to check on me several times and kept my water glass full. Check arrived quickly and I settled the bill in no time. Wish they had more business as it is pretty solid ramen! read more

Pros: Courteous staff, plenty of outdoor seating, quick food arrival, clean restroom. The ramen was kind of ... unremarkable? I ordered the vegetable ramen and it was kind of bland. It came with corn, shredded mushroom, bok choy, a soft tofu slice, and bean sprouts. The noodles appeared to be spinach noodles because they were green, and they weren't as chewy as I would have liked. I much prefer the vegan ramen from Hinodeya because the ingredients were more varied/interesting and the broth was richer. Yugo Ramen's version felt primarily "healthy" and just not as interesting. read more

Bullet point of thoughts. Noodles were cooked nice, egg was nicely soft boiled. Broth was a bit mild for my taste. Shumai seemed generic. Boba needed more tea flavor. Customer service was very good. read more

Stopped by before a movie to grab a quick bite. At 4:30pm on a Saturday it was easy for us to walk in and get seated. For appetizers I ordered the Geso Calamari and Chicken Karaage. They came out within 10 minutes of ordering! The chicken Karaage pieces were way bigger than I anticipated and the chicken was very juicy. The calamari is specifically the legs which I personally. The sauce that the calamari came with was packed with a light ponzu/tempura sauce flavor without tasting overly salty. My salmon son had three large pieces of salmon. Great bang for your buck! The salmon was delicate and flaky. The teriyaki sauce on the salmon was very well balanced. The pickled radish on the side helped change up the texture as I made my way through my bowl. The sunset is a butterfly pea drink. It was fruity and not too sweet (the best compliment). I did forget to add in a topping though, so that was on me. read more

The shoyu ramen was completely nasty and totally bland, zero flavor. To make it worse, the noodles were hard and undercooked, and the meat had a terrible, unchewable texture that tasted awful. I quite literally had to fish around the bowl for the noodles because they were the only thing that was semi-edible. The only reason I'm giving them two stars is because the boba tea was actually pretty good. Save your money and time and go to Jack's right below it instead. There is a very clear reason why this place is always dead and empty. read more

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. read more

"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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

I happened to have a free day and decided to try out this restaurant, located next to the nearly lifeless Newpark Shopping Mall. Despite the surroundings, the place is clean, well-kept, and offers impressively high-quality service. The dining experience was excellent overall. The only downside was that the indoor temperature was a bit warm, so I started to sweat a little while eating hot food, but that didn't take away from the attentive service. From the warm welcome, ordering, food delivery, to billing and customer greetings, every detail was spot on. For example, when I ran out of napkins, the staff immediately brought more without me even asking. As someone who works in the service industry, I was genuinely impressed. I ordered their signature Yugo Ramen. The rich broth and tender fatty pork slices were a perfect match. The only slight drawback was the noodles; I guess that they didn't seem handmade and felt a bit disconnected from the rest of the dish. Still, the overall flavor, especially with the soft-boiled egg with a gooey yolk, was absolutely delicious. I also ordered edamame and peach oolong tea. The edamame was uniquely stir-fried with garlic for extra flavor, and paired beautifully with the cold drink. There was no wait at all today, and even after ordering a bunch of food, my total was only around $40. I highly recommend giving this great restaurant a try. 剛好挑一天有空來這家店用餐，身處奄奄一息的Newpark Shopping Mall邊上，這家店乾乾淨淨的經營著屬於他們的高質量服務。 用餐體驗極度良好，溫度店內溫度有點高，在吃熱的食物時會有些出汗，但是掩蓋不了服務員的用心服務。歡迎、點餐、出餐、服務、結帳、迎客，每一個細節等做得恰到好處，我的紙巾用完了，不用等我講，馬上補上給我。讓身為服務業從業人員的我非常滿意。 我點了店內招牌Yugo拉麵，濃郁的湯頭和鮮嫩的肥豬肉片完美結合，唯獨拉麵的部分應該不是自己手工做的，感覺和食物略有分離，但是整碗麵的口感加上未熟蛋黃的溫泉蛋，真的是非常美味；我還點了毛豆和Peach烏龍茶，毛豆也是罕見炒過蒜頭來提味，和冷飲真的是絕配。 今天完全沒有排隊，我點了一堆食物大概也在$40左右，我強力推薦大家可以來試試看這家好餐廳。 read more

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.

I've visited this restaurant throughout the years and quality is perfect as always! read more

I'm always hesitate about restaurants at a mall. But I was pleasantly surprised with this place. Service: The staff here was friendly, professional, and very polite. They checked on us multiple times and always had a smile on their face. Food: Ramen noodles were firm and chewy - yummy! Soup was flavorful Chashu/Pork - This was a little bland and a bit too tough in my opinion. Boiled egg - perfection! i love that they gave us a whole egg. most ramen places only serve half as their standard. Definitely brownie points for the whole egg. Chicken Karage - huge pieces with a delicious spicy/creamy sauce. Loved it! Cucumber salad - FAVORITE dish of the night! oh man this really tangle up my tastebuds. Overall: Would definitely recommend! I gotta come back and try their boba as well! read more

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! read more

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! read more

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! read more

Not many places that serves mostly ramen around the area so I decided to give this place a try. Located at the outer area of the mall, this place is easily accessible and parking is never an issue. I came here with my husband and it was around 3pm so it shouldn't be too busy. We both ordered the Yugo ramen and got the geso kara as an appetizer. My husband got one of the boba drinks but their drinks were very sweet. Idk if they offered customization on the sugar level but I didn't ask or see it on the menu. Plus side is free topping though. The ramen itself was solid. Not too salty either. It hit the spot for the ramen crave. Overall the food and experience were good. Definitely would come back when we crave ramen! read more

Review #903 Posted on 7.13.25 We stopped here after shopping for a few boba drinks. This spot is located upstairs on the back side of Newpark Mall. They guided us to the bar area and we were helped with the menu and a worker helping us take our order. We were able to sit at an open table while we waited for our order to come out. I tried the Peach Me, added boba and salted milk cream, it was really good. My daughter got the Taro slushie with boba, my wife got the matcha slush with pearls. We had really great service, & excellent drinks, will come back for sure read more

I learned about this place by word of mouth and was really hopeful. I ordered their lunch special, which is ramen, side & drink. The shuyo ramen was on the bland side. I ordered shuyo over rice for my side. I think they used the same shuyo for their ramen. It was heart attack inducing level of saltiness. I ended up dunking the shuyo into the soup to wash off some of the salt. Come to think about it, maybe they accidentally swapped the shuyo for the rice with the ones for the ramen. In any case, it wasn't tasty. Just salty. I would stick with 101 Ramen near Livermore Outlet instead of this place. Unless... you don't care too much about what you eat but want a nice place to sit and chat with friends. The place is nice and the waitress dead her job well. Too bad the food does not cut it for me. read more

Yugo Ramen is part of Newpark Mall so parking is plentiful here. I ordered takeout on a Thursday night for a later pickup and received an "order ready for pickup" 5-7 minutes before the pickup time, so it was ready as soon as I arrived. I ordered the chicken karaage, beef yakisoba, and katsu don. The photos made it look like they would only give four pieces, which I thought was a little pricey. I was pleasantly surprised that the chicken karaage pieces were large, with minimal batter, and juicy. The chicken katsu don was good, but I am used to chicken katsu with tonkatsu sauce, so I was pretty disappointed when I didn't see any sauce on top. There is a lot of rice for the amount of chicken given, too. However, I still enjoyed it. The yakisoba was pretty good the beef reminded us of Yoshinoya. read more

I wish I could give zero stars. And more than anything, I hope this business fails. I've never felt so uncomfortable and disrespected in a restaurant before. My friend and I (party of two) walked in, were seated, and received our food pretty quickly -- but that's where anything positive ended. We were the only Black customers in the entire place, and the treatment we received made that feel painfully obvious. Not even five minutes after our meals were placed in front of us, the waiter came over and dropped the check on the table saying "Whenever you're ready, i'll leave this here". No "let me know if you need anything," no "enjoy your meal" -- just the bill. On top of that, her tone and body language were openly hostile. It was clear we were being pushed out. Meanwhile, two other tables -- both with six or more people, all of them Asian -- were relaxed, still eating, and not being rushed or bothered at all, even though they'd been seated before us. We hadn't even finished our food before we were told we had to leave. The waiter came back multiple times, hovering and making it clear we weren't welcome to stay as long as the other customers. I don't know what they thought of us, but the difference in treatment was impossible to ignore. The food itself was literally disgusting-- not worth the disrespect. If you care about being treated decently as a customer, I wouldn't recommend this place at all. F you racists! read more

Very good katsudon takeout. Great service. Nice and big interior. Lady server was very nice.

The service here is quick and efficient while maintaining a good quality customer experience. Checking in regularly with us, although we decided to dine in at a slower time (About 3 other tables). The restaurants ambiance is well established with lots of low level lights and decorations that creates a vibe between a high end bar and restaurant. The food I chose was the Yugo Ramen. Priced a little higher at $18.5. The noodles are on the stiffer end if that is your preference. They offer variety in the bowls with water sprouts, radish, and bamboo sprouts. If you get flavor fatigue easily, then eating the sides really helps with that. One thing I liked was the bowl shape provided more broth and honestly felt like I got more ramen per bowl. read more
