Great soup ramen here, though I typically come for their Hong Kong cafe selections. They make the best iced lemon tea in the whole bay area, which actually tastes better than the ones in Hong Kong also. Perfect tea intensity and sweetness, plus the lemon has a unique citrusy flavor to it. Their Hong Kong milk tea is also great (can't beat the Hong Kong version but is authentic nonetheless). And we love their Ovaltine french toast - it's a must-try! They typically don't get too busy and bar and table seating are always available. Prices are also very reasonable. It's family run and we want to support them as much as we could, especially given the ramen chain just moved in next door in the same plaza. read more

Very busy on Saturdays. Parking can be super limited because there's a lot of businesses in the area. It was busy when we came in but died down shortly after. Service was super slow. So slow, in fact, I was ready to leave. I ended up staying because their croquettes ended up being delicious. Super crunchy on the outside and very soft on the inside. I was in heaven and ate them all. After I finished my croquettes, I waited for my ramen. Took about 40 minutes for it to come out. By the time it came out, I was underwhelmed by the presentation. A lot of ramen places take pride in presentation but Fujiwara called it a day and sent it out. I was skeptical until I took my first bite. I was pleasantly surprised. It was very good and not heavily seasoned with salt. I enjoyed it. Will definitely come back. read more

We went here on a Sunday late afternoon, so didn't have to wait long to be seated. The dry and soup ramen was delish but the baked Spaghetti Bolognese could be better. The sauce lacked meat and that ruined it for me. Overall good service and fast. read more

There's honestly not that many ramen places in Dublin but this is where we go whenever we are craving ramen! The ramen is decent, beer is super affordable, and staff is always nice. We usually get the kuro tonkotsu. But if you're in the mood for something lighter, the butter scallop is nice as well (just ask them to exclude or take out the butter before it all melts if you don't want that). On top of ramen they also serve Hong Kong style dishes. Personally I prefer their ramen over the rice and spaghetti entrees. read more

First time here and it was good, albeit pretty pricey for ramen. It's a later dinner crowd that came here on a Saturday so arriving at 5:15 was just fine. We were seated quickly and our order was taken. Only a couple tables were occupied when we arrived. The fujiwara ramen was flavorful. It came out really hot too. At first, it looked small so I also ordered the fried oysters. As I ate, I realized the bowl had a lot more food and ramen in it than one could see and the oysters had a lot of batter on them. Between these two, I was pretty full afterwards. Beers on tap are inexpensive. Service was quick and the staff was pleasant. By the time we left around 6:30, the place was packed and there was a line outside. Would I come back again? Not sure. It's not that the food is bad - in fact it's good. But it is expensive to take a family of 4 here in the grand scheme of things. read more

I was in the area and really craving some bomb so I decided to check this place out. Upon entering, it's a mix of Cantonese, Hong Kong Cafe, food and Japanese food. I will say my favorite was the car. The pieces were very large and very filling after eating an entire order I pretty much couldn't eat any of the Ramen anymore. The Ramen that I got was the black garlic tonkatsu, which was definitely heavier and denser. Soup was pretty good, but after a couple bites, especially after eating the chicken I couldn't eat anymore and had to take it back home. My grandpa got a chicken Ramen, and he said there wasn't much flavor. I didn't really try so I'm not exactly sure. Parking took a minute especially in the evening. It is located in a plaza however, there's plenty of businesses there too. read more

They inherited ramen restaurant and now providing hk cafe style restaurant. So, they have two menus. Haven't tried ramen but see many people ordering it and finishing the bowl... good sign that it may be good. However, I'm interested in the hk style cafe menu. That didn't disappoint... in fact very good. 5* Fried chicken wings marinated with garlic sauce 5* Hk style milk tea 5* curry beef tongue rice 4* service (no complaints) Will be back! read more

Had their ramen a long time ago, and it was pretty good. However, this review is focused on their Hong Kong cafe items. Sometime in 2024, Fujiwara introduced Hong Kong (HK) style cafe menu. Wifey loves HK food so we had to try. We went with a few Hong Kong folks. The fried chicken wings were legit and the fries were very crispy. The curry fish balls were not bad, but thought the flavor was a tad lacking. I had the baked seafood with white cream sauce and I liked it. I went again recently and tried their curry ox tongue with rice. There were a lot of tongue pieces and tender enough with still some texture for chewing. What made my meal better was the Asahi draft beer. Interesting that they offer both ramen and HK cafe food, but good enough taste for me that I would go back. Still tons of HK food items I would like to try. read more

This is an interesting place that offers Japanese and Hong Kong cafe fusion dishes. My default dish is their curry ox tongue rice. With a full price menu item, a Hong Kong milk tea can be had for $2. The ox tongue is sliced and tender. Together with curry sauce and rice, each bite is quite heavenly. Surprisingly you can eat all the rice before all the slices of tongue. That's enjoying the dish. It is competitively priced. The wait staff speaks Cantonese and English so nothing will be lost in translation. Service is friendly and accommodating. I definitely be back for more. read more

My wife and I were walking around in the area looking for food while charging our car. We saw that this place had decent reviews and so decided to check it out. We opted to order from the HK style menu (cha chaan teng) because it has been awhile since we were able to enjoy this food. We were surprised about how good the food was. I ordered the pork chop over rice (with tomato sauce) while my wife got the chicken steak over spaghetti (with white sauce). Both were really tasty. The pork shop was especially tender. I also ordered the iced HK milk tea, which had a really strong tea flavor. My wife found it a little too sweet, but I enjoyed it! Will definitely come back. read more

This place has good ramen for the Dublin area. The service felt quick and easy but don't expect a place that will constantly check on you if you're doing fine. The broth was good and the chashu was good too. They also have a special for milk tea when you dine in, which is a plus! read more

Tasty ramen, great little place for lunches. Speedy and friendly service, variety in menu options, flavorful soup.

Ambiance was casual yet classy, love sitting here enjoying our meals. Service was quick and friendly. Chicken A La King was very delicious: not too salty at all. Beef tongue rice was just about the right amount of flavors and sauce. Dry Ramen Noodle was also very delicious. Highly recommend this. read more

I was craving some hot ramen on this cold Sunday evening and remembered that I haven't tried Fujiwara so I had to see what it was about. It's a cute small space with a bar setting in the middle of the restaurant. We were seated right away and our waitress came by with menus and water. We started off with the chicken Karaage. It had a crispy light batter and it was tender and juicy. Pretty yummy I recommend. Had to try their original ramen which has a lovely pork broth. It tasted clean to me but with also a strong pork flavor which I thoroughly enjoyed. The menu did say you can pick between thin and thick noodles but we were never asked about this. Anyway, the noodles tasted great, the egg was cooked perfectly and the flavors all came together. If I had to nitpick about this dish would be the actual chashu (Japanese pork belly), I don't think it was the greatest while other restaurants would stand out in this pork belly. We also tried the black garlic ramen which had a delicious garlic flavor and I think I would order that next time. I'd definitely come back to try their other dishes. read more

Fujiwara offers Hong Kong style options besides ramen which I like. I like the Ovaltine French Toast and the Fujiwara ramen. The service is just okay. It took a long time to get the server attend to our needs. The good thing about this place is that no long waiting list. You will get seated within 5 to 10 minutes. If you want both ramen and HK style choices, give Fujiwara a try. read more

Came here a few times after Fujiwara added the HK style food. We have tried many different dishes. Curry ones are always good. Love the curry beef tongue . The curry seafood has very little seafood. Chicken a la king was yummy if you don't like red sauce. Love their HK milk tea too. One time when we wanted more condensed milk, they gave us the whole bottle! LOL! But the next time, we only got a little. French toast is also our favorite too. We have tried to Ovaltine toast as well and liked it. It's not too sweet so it's perfect. My family tried the ramen and said it's good too. Overall, this place is legit for HK cafe styled food! read more

Last night, I ordered the Tonkatsu Curry over rice for delivery. It was still nice and warm by the time I received it. Curry was on the side as to not soggy up the breading on the pork. I didn't get any potato in my curry though. Just carrots and onion. Maybe that was just the luck of the ladle draw. Everything was cooked perfectly, and the portion was just right. There's also the mini side of pickled veggies to help break up the heaviness. It was definitely the comfort food meal this belly was craving. I'll definitely be ordering again and interested in them ox tongue dishes. read more

Really enjoyed the food at Fujiwara. Their menu had a lot of options that can suit a big party with different cravings. The menzame was silky and flavorful. The combination of the fresh veggies and saltiness of the pork makes a great mix. I would recommend ordering this since it is a bit unique for the Dublin area and it feels lighter compared to a full bowl of noodle soup. The agedashi tofu is something I would also recommend. The sauce is flavorful and the tofu has a nice crunch. Taste and texture is on point with it. The service was quick here. We got our food within a few minutes of sitting down, so it is a perfect spot for a quick lunch. read more

It was a balmy evening and we needed something to eat to warm us up. Ramen sounded like a good idea. We all haven't been to this spot so we decided to try it out. Overall not a bad option for ramen, chashu was fantastic, noodles a good chew, broth a little lack luster, and curry a bit meh, but overall, an okay option for some noods. L O C A T I O N In the Ulferts plaza in Dublin right near Koi Palace Express. They share a parking lot with all the other shops and restaurants. Parking can be challenging during peak dining times. Go closer towards the sides of the plaza to get better parking options. I N S I D E They have a bar seating area in the middle with "larger" tables on the sides. Three large TVs are on each side of the room. M E N U As it is a ramen spot, there is of course ramen. They also have appetizers as well as katsu curry. On the table there is a menu for Mazemen which is a brothless ramen. You can get the ramen with thin or thick noodles. The thick noodle is what I know as "standard" ramen noodles. So if you want thinner than that, then you go with the thin. We got the Fujiwara Ramen with extra noodles, gyoza and pork katsu curry. The gyoza was standard and came with a sweet vinegary sauce. Slight crisp on the bottom, juicy meat inside. The Fujiwara ramen was fine. The broth was okay. The noodles bouncy. The star of this ramen was the chashu. It was thinly sliced, but the flavor on that chashu was *chefs kiss*. The pork katsu curry was okay as well. The curry felt like boxed curry. Not enough veggies in my opinion. The pork was actually moist. S E R V I C E Our waters were definitely filled often which was nice. We had to flag folks when we ended up finally ordered (we had to ask to give us time initially) and then when we were finished to get the check. That's all, but everyone was very friendly and helpful. O V E R A L L I think I would want to try out more ramen here but for now, it's actually not a bad choice. I don't typically get ramen, so did I enjoy myself? Sure. Did it warm my belly? Sure. Was I wowed...not really. Did it have some high points? Yes. Did it have not so great points? Yes. So I kind of fall in the middle in terms of how I feel about this place. So I would say, I'll be back and I invite you to try it out yourself! read more

Our family is visiting from out of town and we ordered from Fujiwara. Many of us ordered various ramen bowls, and one ordered the katsu curry don. We added on edamame, kara age, fried oysters, and a mini cha shu bowl for all to share. It was SO good!! The broths were delicious. The fried dishes were crisp and not oily. The food was ready quickly for so many dishes (to feed seven people), and the interaction with the restaurant personnel (I think it was the owner) was nice. We would definitely order here again or come in to dine. read more

Came in for dinner and it was busy as usual. The place is small, and the food is good, so it's to be expected. My party of four waited about 5 minutes for a table to free up, and he cleaned up. We ordered the agedashi tofu with bonito flakes - such a yummy topping! I finally got to try the Nagoya Classic Mazemen, it was delicious! I can't wait to try the other Mazemen flavors. The rest of my party ordered their favorites; Shouyu ramen; Miso Ramen; and Mixed Grilled Steak Sizzling Platter that comes with soup and drink (milk tea was chosen). We all enjoyed our meal and left full & happy! read more

Nice cozy spot for Japanese comfort food. The place reminds me a bit of a sports bar but not the feel of it. They have tv's there for the game, a center bar area. The service was okay. They only had one worker that hosted and served all the tables. The food was good. I really enjoyed the crispy chicken katsu but the meat itself was still juicy and not dried. read more

This is a ramen place ran by Chinese people and also carrying Hong Kong-style fast food. Despite specializing in ramen, the broth was very bland, which I found to be disappointing. The taste wasn't bad, it just wasn't particularly good. I also ordered agedashi tofu, which did hit the spot. I suspect that I might have had better luck if I'd ordered HK baked rice or curry. Not sure I will be back. read more

Came here on a Thursday evening for dinner. Restaurant was about 30% full. Not too big of a place. We were seated right away. The waitress kept the required interactions to a minimum. We were feeling like ramen, but saw that the restaurant offered other items as well. The menu was almost overwhelming. We ended up ordering the following: Black Pepper Chicken 3/5: this was tasty but nothing special. Frozen chicken and sauce served with canned vegetables. Miso Ramen 3/5: this was also tasty but nothing special. Chicken wings 4/5: these were crispy with the right amount of salt. Would order this again. Overall, good place to go to get a weeknight dinner if you didn't feel like cooking. They do have two TVs which allow you to catch the basketball games while you eat. read more

Food: 4/5 Service: 5/5 - not exceptional, but no misses Ambiance: Casual Value: Average Don't be fooled by the name, they offer Hong Kong cuisine alongside a Japanese ramen menu. Seems like it's Chinese ran. Ordered the Agedashi tofu, black garlic ramen, and Hong Kong baked fish in white cream sauce. The tofu and ramen were spot on for what I expected. Could really taste the black garlic flavor in the broth. They used thin sliced chasu pork. The baked rice fish dish was also exactly what you'd expect from a Hong Kong cafe. I do think it could've used more fish for the price. Everything was good and depending on your taste buds, could be VERY GOOD. For me, it was a worthwhile meal but can't say it was exceptional or blew my mind. Would come back again. read more

Tried Fujiwara recently ,the ramen was absolutely delicious! Full of flavor, great texture, and definitely hits the spot if you're craving something warm and comforting. Unfortunately, the experience was let down by the staff, who were quite rude and dismissive. It really took away from what could've been a great visit. Deducting 2 stars just for the service ,amazing food deserves better hospitality. read more

Some of the best Ramen ever. The Kuro Tonkatsu is my fave, the depth of flavor is amazing. The Chasu is so tender you don't need teeth. My wife always gets the chicken katsu curry and it's always great, tender juicy chicken and the smoothest buttery curry ever. Had to get the fried oysters last visit and they were wonderfully tasty read more

We were wanting Ramen and selected this restaurant blindly. The staff was accommodating to our family of five with a baby stroller and a 4 year old. The restaurant was simple with a main bar in the middle of the room with tables along the walls. The food we ordered came out in a timely manner and the flavors hit the spot as well as the portion size was generous. Supporting local family owed restaurant and businesses is always our goal and purpose. read more

clean, cute, and quiet spot for ramen, mazemen, sizzling plates, and other japanese dishes. this shop is in a plaza with a bunch of other asian food businesses so it's a great spot to have dinner + dessert! there's plenty of parking and a bathroom inside. my friend and i came on a wednesday for lunch. it was about half full by 12:30/1pm but not hectic at all. we both ordered mazemen - i had the curry and she had the tan tan variation. the noodles were flavorful, saucy, and chewy - thicker than the ones at kajiken. i'm not sure if they had vinegar but i wish i had put some in, as it could've been a little brighter in flavor! there weren't that many toppings but the noodle portion is generous and the price is really reasonable especially in this economy! the service was great and they include a 16% service charge for all parties, which is nice to not have to think about. overall a solid spot for japanese dishes and it's nice to see a place serving good mazemen in the area. read more

Fujiwara - Tan Tan Mazemen, Curry Mazemen - Ramen Near Me - Dublin, California

My review here is solely based on my single dish and a taste of my friend's curry dish. Both were very good and pretty much no frills type of dish. It was a Sunday dinner time when I had a craving for Hong Kong style food. The Chicken A La King with rice was delicious. The rice underneath is like a bed of egg fried rice. It's not overly flavorful but that's how you'd want it because the baked white sauce is so savory good. It had just enough creaminess. I love how the onion slices and vegetables still retain their bite and sweetness within this baked dish. I had to wait longer than the folks around us eating ramen, but I satisfied my craving. My friend enjoyed his curry meal and my spoonful of that curry is making me think if I want to come back here for that next time. read more

Fujiwara - Chicken a la king with rice (5/5) - Ramen Near Me - Dublin, California

Today I slid through Dublin on my way home, and because of the rainy weather, it was a perfect excuse to get some Ramen. Upon entering, dining area was smaller than I anticipated, plenty of patrons however it was cozy, but not crowded. There's a great vibe about the place, it's comfy. My daughter and I were immediately seated and served water, and appetizers and beverages were ordered. My daughter decided on a honey melon tea, but unfortunately they were out of honey. No problem, she just decided water and hot tea would sufficient...I just needed something warm, and with that ordered hot tea as well. I wanted Calamari, but they recently removed it from the menu. So instead, I ordered fried oysters. They were cooked deliciously in a perfectly fried batter and served with dipping sauce. My daughter ordered (R8) Miso Ramen and I ordered (R3) Kuro Tonkotsu ( Black Garlic). Both were flavorfully well balanced. I think what made an even better experience, was everyone was so nice, entertaining and just seemed like it's a place that's has a warm and inviting vibe to it! Definitely a spot that me and the kiddo will come back to soon! read more

We went to Fujiwara for dinner on Wednesday, and the food didn't disappoint. The spicy mazemen was pretty good--it was our first time trying it. The portion size was good too! The Tonkotsu ramen was decent, with a nice portion and good flavor. It came with two pieces of chashu and an egg--not the best I've had, but not bad either. The service was pretty quick as well! read more

4 stars based on the new HK Cafe menu. Happy to see Fujiwara expand its menu to HK Cafe items. Although the HK Cafe menu items were limited, it had all the classics. I tried their HK milk tea and it was really solid. Definitely on-par if not better(and less pricey) than other eateries in the area. The Baked Pork Chop Rice was decent but nothing to write home about. The tomato sauce was tasty with a cheesy baked top with good portions of pork chop. The ramen remains solid all these years. I hope they'll continue to do well as it's a gem at the Ulfert Plaza. read more

Pleasantly surprised, Fujiwara Ramen has become a stable in the Dublin Ramen scene! Overall, the olace is clean, service is fast, and the food is quite delicious! It was 4 of us so we decided that 2 bowls of ramen and a couple of appetizers should be enough, and boy I was glad we didn't order more cuz it was a lot of food. The chicken karaage was tasty and tender and the tofu was done just right. The Fujiwara ramen had corn and chicken breast with a lighter-bodied broth and enjoyed by the kids. Personally I prefer the heavier Tonkotsu ramen. We finished everything and were very satisfied. read more

I tried Fujiwara as it was recommended on social media, but I didn't quite see what the hype was about necessarily. They are located inside the Ulferts Center here in Dublin. I wanted to order the Tan Tan Mazemen, but for some reason apparently the kitchen couldn't make it. So, I ended up getting the Chashu Mazemen which was pretty good, I enjoyed the noodle and the chashu. I wish they gave more than 2 pieces of chashu though. The Tonkatsu Pork Curry was really good, it was fried just right and it had a very good strong curry taste. I enjoyed the curry flavor. The Pork Chop with Onion Rice Plate was okay, the pieces of the pork chop where two small looking pieces. This one was just okay, nothing too special or worth raving about. The ambiance of this place is okay, it's a small dinning room with a bar like table in the middle, with regular tables around it and they have two TV's playing throughout the restaurant. The customer service was okay, but since they couldn't make an item I wanted, it was a huge bummer. Overall, this place was okay, not sure what the hype is regarding this place. read more

We ordered the Chashu Mazemen, Fujiwara ramen, and Kuro Tonkotsu (black garlic) . I really wanted to try this place because they offer mazemen, a soupless ramen. It's more common around LA and I've been looking for a place around here. I liked the chashu mazemen, it was really salty though and I'm not a huge fan of the benito flavor. But the noodles were thick and chewy, which is what I was really looking for. It was really nice to try, but I'm not sure if I'd get it again, if I did, I'd get a different flavor. My mom ordered the fujiwara ramen. She said the broth wasn't what she had been expecting and would have liked if it was thicker, more flavorful, and less oily. My dad got the black garlic ramen. He really liked the flavor, but also thought the broth could have been more flavorful. Overall, the service was nice and prompt. The restaurant was also nice and is in the Ulferts plaza. I would come again, if looking for mazemen, but probably would go somewhere else if I want soup ramen. read more

Found this place on a whim and walked in when it opened so there wasn't a wait but it filled up quickly. Service is fast, we received our order within 5-10mins after ordering. Shiro Tonkatsu Ramen - good flavor, broth wasn't too rich for me like most ramen broths. Char Shu was good but could have had more flavor. Black Garlic Ramen - good flavor as well Overall good ramen spot in Dublin. It didn't blow my mind but also was better than most ramen places I've been to. I would return again if I am in the area. 3.5 stars. read more
