" You have to try the spicy tonkotsu ramen here! It's mouthwateringly good and just the right amount of heat. I also enjoyed the friendly service which made the experience even better. The atmosphere is casual yet inviting. Overall, a solid choice if you want authentic-tasting ramen in Union City. " (*Curated Review*)

" After hearing great things about Ramen Shu, I finally visited, but I was a bit let down. The broth wasn't as flavorful as I had hoped, and while the noodles were decent, they could be more tender. The staff was friendly, but I expected more based on the reviews. 3 stars from me! " (*Curated Review*)

" After hearing all the hype, I visited Ramen Shu and tried their tonkotsu ramen. I was really impressed with the rich flavor and creamy texture of the broth. The chashu pork was succulent and melt-in-your-mouth good! The price is very reasonable for the quantity and quality of food served. I would say, this is a must-visit spot for ramen lovers in the Bay Area! " (*Curated Review*)

" Ramen Shu is rightfully popular! The food is delicious, the tonkatsu ramen was creamy and rich, but I found the portions a bit small for the price. The service was friendly and prompt; I appreciated that. The decor is cozy, making it a nice backdrop for a meal. Overall, a good experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" Ramen Shu is now one of my favorites! The spicy tonkotsu was excellent—full of flavor and nicely spicy without being overwhelming. The gyoza was another highlight; crispy and delicious.

" 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*)
