" If you’re coming here, definitely try the ramen special! I had the spicy garlic oil tonkotsu, and it was perfectly balanced with rich flavors without being overly spicy. The staff was kind and fast, which is always a bonus. It's easily among my favorite ramen places in the Bay Area. Make sure to check it out next time you’re in Union City! " (*Curated Review*)

" Ramen Shu is now my go-to spot for ramen in the East Bay. The rich broth of their tonkotsu ramen is outstanding, and the chashu is flavorful and tender. It’s commendable how they balance traditional recipes with a hint of local flair. Plus, the atmosphere is cozy, perfect for a casual dinner. Highly recommend the spicy garlic version for those who enjoy a kick! " (*Curated Review*)

" Ramen Shu is a must-visit! The variety of ramen is impressive, and I opted for the black garlic tonkotsu after hearing how good it was. It lived up to the hype – delicious and aromatic! The noodles were on point. The service was friendly, and we loved the lively environment. Can't wait to go back and try more dishes! " (*Curated Review*)
