This place is so damn good. Holy crap. I'd eat here everyday if it wasn't almost $20 after tip and tax. Regardless, still super good. read more

This business is open during Covid-19 for take out and oh boy is it good! Like many, I was very hesitant to order ramen to go because typically it isn't as good but that definitely doesn't apply here I got the Kuro Tonkotsu and it was A M A Z I N G. The flavor bursts in your mouth and the Cha-Su basically Melts in your mouth and the egg is delicious. I also got the Chicken Kara-Age and it was also delicious - very very flavorful! The ramen noodles, bamboo shoots, cha-su etc come in a ramen bowl to go container with the broth stored separately. Easy to just pour the ramen in and enjoy! Some of the best ramen in the bay and I'll definitely be ordering here again. read more

Our new ramen spot! Almost comparable to San Mateo if you don't like to hassle of driving far to eat awesome ramen, this place is a must go! Their Fujiwara and Black Garlic is really good! Staff are friendly. We requested chili sauce, but they charge a $1. 5mins later, the server came back and offered it to us, in house. Friendly staff! read more

This place is much better than the previous ramen shop in this location. They have a really good menu and their ramen is great- you can really tell that the broth has been prepared for a long time, and they are not skimpy with toppings. I tried the black garlic and my husband had the Fujiwara original- these are the two most recommended ramens that they offer. Service is friendly but it was slow on the day that I was there. They had only just opened that week, so I hope that their service will improve. It's also pricey- the amount you spend per bowl is how much you would spend for a comparable bowl in SF or San Mateo, and it's not quite as good as those. Still, for sure, it is my new favorite ramen place in town and I will be back. read more

Place just opened up. The black garlic has a richer flavor than most places and complements the chashu pork really well; the server said it is made from scratch in-house, and it tastes like it. Looking forward to coming back and trying the other options. If you go to Ramen 101 because you need ramen, come here because you want it. read more

Fujiwara - Black garlic tonkatsu and dumplings in soup - Ramen Near Me - Dublin, California

First time having Ramen and I ordered the spicy tonkatsu, temp was hot spice level was good without overpowering everything. I liked the runny egg that's served in the bowl and the bamboo shoots. Wasn't crazy over the soft bbq pork. Filling! $50ish for 2ppl with a fried chicken appetizer, one soda and one hot tea that I didn't like bc it was too "earthy". read more

Finally found a yummy ramen place near home! So good and agedashi tOfu is 10 starz from us! Can't wait to try more flavors of tthe ramen. We got the spicy tonkatsu and Black Garlic Ramen and both were so full of taste! And the meat was so soft melted in our mouths! read more

Can't wait to bring my friends next week to try this new ramen restaurant! Everything we ordered was delicious and service was exceptional! The owner, Carmen, was very warm and patient explaining all the different appetizers to my young kids! read more

Went because of a good review saying it was the best ramen place in the area. Way wrong! Broth may have been a pork bone broth initially but had a fishy taste (maybe they add a lot of fish sauce ) and was mediocre at best. The chashu was SUPER fatty...way too much. We also had the chicken karaage which was fatty and bland. Wont go back. read more

Was in the area a while back and it was a really cold night...it was getting late and luckily this place was open. Didn't expect much but took a chance and was definitely not disappointed! Love their black garlic ramen! The chicken karaage needs a little improvement (the pieces were cut a little too big and the breading didn't have much flavor). But overall I would definitely come back for the ramen and the service which was friendly and attentive best of all, decent prices! read more

It's Friday night and we wanted to go out for dinner. We're still in this ding dong pandemic so we looked online looking for restaurants that are following the covid regulations. Not wearing masks are allowed, but we are still wearing our masks in public places. We read about Fujiwara. Looking at pictures and reading reviews, we felt it was safe to have ramen there. Walking in the restaurants, we noticed signs about staying safe, hand sanitizer station, and tables were spread out more than 6 feet apart. The server was wearing a mask and gloves. I ordered black garlic ramen and my husband ordered the original ramen. We also ordered chicken karaage. Let me tell you, every table ordered the chicken karaage . They were crispy and crunchy outside and soft and juicy inside. They were delicious. The portion of the ramen dishes were big. Service was very prompt and fast. Highly recommend this restaurant. read more

Fujiwara - Black Garlic Pork Ramen - Ramen Near Me - Dublin, California

My favorite is Fujiwara or Shoyu ramen so far. The bonito broth is very very good! Kuro Tonkotsu wasn't much flavorful to me, basically just garlic taste. Aka Tonkotsu is too spicy to me. read more

I was excited to see a new ramen place in Ulferts, and gave Fujiwara a try on a Saturday afternoon. We got there right around noon and were one of only a few customers in the restaurant, but by the time we left there was a line out the door. I had the Gyoza and Fujiwara(house) ramen. Both tasted great, though I did feel like the gyoza was a little on the small side for the price. I also tried the Tonkotsu ramen - tasty, though I think I prefer the Fujiwara. A great addition to the Ulferts center. I definitely plan on coming back to try the Shoyu ramen, and maybe the happy hour (according to the sign, T-Th 5-6:30)! read more

I would give them 3.5 stars. I agree with other reviewers that the food is excellent. I went to Japan on a ramen tour and by far it is the best in the area. Better than Jinya and Ramen 101. The chashu is not dry and very flavorful. The broth has dashi which makes a significant difference. Here is why i am docking 1.5 stars: 1) Price: i understand that rent in this area is expensive. However, if you are paying $13 per bowl of ramen, do not skimp on the quantity. The amount of food in the bowl is only $10 at best. I have been to San Francisco where rent is sky high and the ramen there is either cheaper or about the same but i leave there full. I will update the review if they make changes in price or the amount of noodles and size of the chashu. Also they have the most expensive ramen refill. $3??? In San Francisco or in Japan the extra noodles is only $1 since you are already paying more for the bowl. 2) service: it is my 3rd time last night coming here. Came here on a soft opening and the service was great. Last time, the place was half empty but the food took a little longer than before. I think they may be understaffed. It is a weeknight after all. read more

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that this is the best Ramen in the Tri-Valley. I'm so happy there's finally a good ramen shop here. Also the owners extremely friendly and accommodating! I love how the chashu is torched/charred to give it a nice flavor! read more

This spot replaced the old ramen spot in the center. Only went to the old one once, was not impressed, never went again. Always looking for a decent ramen spot in the area but I always end up having to travel to SF or something. This place is good, though! Could use a bit more improvement- broth was kind of bland, not many options, decor is kind of lacking, but still good in terms of what they replaced! Good prices, glad I don't have to pay $9 for an appetizer for once.. quality of the apps are great! Everything came out in a timely fashion. Staff was extremely apologetic for the wait but I didn't even notice they had taken a long time. They're on to a good start! read more

ramen soup is pristine we got the fujiwara with extra chashu. the onsen tamago is on point! will definitely come back. read more

Fujiwara - onsen tamago - Ramen Near Me - Dublin, California

We had the fijiwara and the black garlic. The fijiwara has a bonito danshi soup base mixed in, so if you don't like fish flavor, I would suggest you pick the pork based soup. Personally the black garlic was too garlicky and over powers the pork soup, but soup base was great. But if you really like garlic, then that's the one for you. Also the cha shu was tasty. 2 slices per bowl. Overall one of the better ramen spot in the area and service was fast. read more

We went to this place for a Saturday lunch. It was not too crowded when we arrived around 11:50 am. But the place was almost full when we finished our lunch. We ordered 4 types of ramens. They all taste different (broth), but they are all very tasty. Reasonable price, generous amount (ex. one full egg), good service, clean environment, and ample spaces between tables. read more

The noodles are wrong. They use Cantonese 油面。 If you don't care about that, then the portions are decent.

Love it! Literally get it once a week. My favorite so far has been the black garlic ramen. Usually get the pork bun appetizer as well!

Good vibrant spot. Simple menu to navigate. Great taste ramen. The chicken kara-age is a must try! Love the new renovation! read more

We came for a late dinner so it wasn't busy. The owner was quite nice to us and we chatted about her cute milk tea cups and I noticed she was using the same strainers and kettles restaurants in Hong Kong used for milk tea. This is how I know the milk tea IS legit. Most places just use lipton tea bags and call it a day, but this place makes it the way I've always remembered it to be whenever I visited HK! We tried the original and black garlic ramen and it was delicious. The cha su was so tender and smoky. How do they infuse this with so much flavor and also make it so freakin tender ?!?!?! I've had a lot of ramen from all over the world and this is one of the most tender cha su ever. Literally melt in your bowl and mouth! We also tried the hand made boiled dumplings and it came in a delicious white soup broth. We were really impressed with our meal. We will definitely come back to try the baked rice plates. I saw another table order it and it looked so good! read more

Devoured the ramen and karaage before I can take a photo. My husband and I were both surprised. possibly one of the best ramen in tri-valley area. Highly recommend their ramen and karaage (it's fresh) Their Ramen reminded me of the one we had back in Shibuya, Tokyo. they def didn't do any shortcuts with their soup base. Overall experience was really good. Polite staff too! read more

For the area this place is in, it definitely is one of the better ramen spots. I ordered the garlic ramen, and gyozas. The garlic ramen was good, The soup was light, and not salty. I've had ramen with a much stronger pork flavor, hence why I give this place 4/5. Initially when I tasted the broth, I thought it was good, but getting deeper into the bowl that flavor somewhat disappears and isn't consistent throughout. I was also hoping for a more garlic flavor, or small fried garlic pieces in the ramen itself since it is called black garlic. I understand that everyone has a different taste, and I'm for sure more tolerant of garlic and love having it on food items. So what I may think is not a lot of garlic flavor, might be more than enough to some people for this ramen. The noodles were nice and well cooked, I did think they gave a lot of noodles compared to some other ramen restaurants which was nice. The tamago was good, however some parts of the egg were cold inside. I definitely prefer the warm throughout with yolk coming out type of tamago. The chashu pork was excellent! So tender and flavorful, and with that char on the outside it elevated the flavor even more. The gyozas were good, smaller than I had expected, but they do pack a lot of flavor. The sauce on the side was a good compliment to the dish. Sauce was mild in flavor and worked well with the gyozas. The service was excellent, each person was attentive, and quick to get customers orders out. They were quick to ask if we needed refills on waters. The staff does a good job on anticipating the customers needs. The restaurant itself is nice on the inside. Very clean. I love that they have a large bar seating area in the middle. Overall I would definitely go back, especially since this place to me is one of the better ramen restaurants for this area. Plus the fact I want to try their other ramen dishes! read more

Is this honestly what you deem appropriate to serve your customers??? I got this earlier today from door dash and I am absolutely floored... I get that its called Kuro (black) Ramen... but if your going to serve ramen that tastes like you mixed literally charcoal into it... it should probably be clear in the description. Black Garlic isn't made by turning it into charcoal. You guys should be embarrassed... You can literally see charcoal grit in the cup and on the sides of the bowl... I even went through reviews to check if maybe its supposed to be this and people just somehow like the flavor of cast iron burnt bits... but alas... no dice. Everyone elses ramen looks pretty normal. read more

DELICIOUS! CLEAN! My family and I were craving ramen and stumbled upon Fujiwara. Oh my gosh, the broth is so flavorful and delicious! We tried the original, the black garlic and the spicy. All were flavorful but our favorite was the original. The meat melted in your mouth and the egg was soft boiled to perfection. Service was excellent. This will be our go to when we are craving ramen......yum! read more

Their black garlic ramen is my absolute favorite. Great date night spot. Warm saki was a great treat. Nothing like the sad ramen you cook for yourself in the dorm room. Treat yourself to flavortown. read more

Came here for a Tuesday lunch. No wait at 1:30 pm. I thought it was better than ramen 101 and Jinya. Not as good as Orenchi. Closer to me than Ippudo, where I love their seasame ramen. Less variety but more enjoyable than ramen parlor as it was not as noisy. I ordered black garlic ramen and fried calamari. The attentive service was appreciated. Tea was free but not too strong. Will come again. read more

Great value ramen that comes with a fully loaded variety of toppings that sometimes cost extra at other ramen shops: seaweed, wood ear, scallions, two halves of a soft boiled egg, beansprouts. I ordered Kuro (Black Garlic) Tonkotsu and the broth was quite bland, the noodles were thick and chewy. I also ordered fried oysters, which satisfied my craving. The staff are friendly. Won't be strongly recommending this one. read more

Came here last year in Nov 2019, the ramen was okay. The service was quick, food was decent, and it wasn't that packed.

This is my favorite ramen spot in the Tri-Valley. The ramen overall is super satisfying, but if I had to pick out my favorite bites, I would choose the jammy soft-boiled egg yolk and the tender chashu. I am glad that they are able to offer indoor seating, because it is nice to see the warm and welcoming staff again after so long. If you visit, I would recommend the karaage appetizer, black garlic ramen, and spicy ramen (tip: the waiter offered to put the house-made spicy sauce on the side in case it was too much - it definitely has some good heat!). I am excited for many visits to come. read more

finding parking space here is a bit difficult because many restaurants. anyway, fujiwara is not that big and the ambience is ok. service is just average. order black garlic noodle ~ for me, it is too oily because they put the oil of garlic ( cannot see the garlic at all ) and serve not in hot temperature but tend to cool. taste is not that special for me because my lips can still taste the oil once finish eating it. also order char xiu bun ~ they just put one slice of meat with a bit sauce and two slices of green onion inside a bun. the bun is folded, the bottom one kind of warm because after steamed, but the top is cold ~ just like from refrigerator... read more
