Happened to see it while scrolling Yelp looking for something new to eat. This is located in the Ranch 99 market plaza in Fremont Blvd. They are new since September 2025. Nice modern decor and plenty of seats and possible a big group as well. My hubs and I were all greeted by their staff. Very friendly and helpful staff. They helped us to decide the best options on their menu and what to expect since it's a new way of eating dry ramen called Mazeman. I tried the Cheese Mazemen and my hubs had their Deluxe Mazemen. The deluxe had everything but I like cheese. Haha We also had their Ikageso which is fried squid legs. Definitely, have their Asahi draft with your meal. ;) We actually tried something similar in San Mateo but it was ok. I really enjoyed the atmosphere and hospitality here as well as the food. Will definitely come back. I can't remember the young man's name but props to him how to eat their food. My first review of 2026!! [1R,2026] read more

Thought I avoided the crowd to come here on Monday at lunch but the place was packed. A good mix of customers, family with babies & elderly, college kids and some office ladies grabbing lunch. Meanwhile People in and out for to go. The place is clean and well lit. Love the little decorations for upcoming Valentine's Day. Tried both the dry and soup ramen. Both are very tasty and rich in flavor. Portion and ingredients were well balanced. Fried chicken looks ordinary at first but wow was I wrong by judging how it looks. Super moist, crunchy, spicy, juicy, adding the dipping sauce made it perfect. Must have item!! read more

Super delicious!!!! Always got suggested this restaurant on my yelp and food apps but for some reason never tried until today. Don't want to miss out on this place!! Their Mazemen is a must try. Please follow their recommendations, the servers know exactly how to enjoy the food. I got the non spicy Mentaiko and my husband got the Kyoto, ended dinner with a delicious Hokkaido cream mille crepe dessert. The Mentaiko was super creamy and heavy, reminded me a lot of a carbonara. Kyoto was more like a traditional ramen without broth, but still delicious and moist. You are also provided with a little rice at the end to eat the rest of the yummy sauce with! Customer service was top notch and they were always on top of everything, before we even knew what to do next lol. Personally, I appreciate that the restaurant/staff gives you insight on how to enjoy their food. Some people might not like it, but to those people they should have an open mind. Will be returning! Place is also super clean and very modern. Cute date night. Thanks Wadaya and staff (: read more

My husband loves Kajiken and we had been trying to find other places to scratch our itch once we moved to the East Bay so you can only imagine our excitement when Wadaya opened up near us. We gave it a few weeks before we swung by in case there was long lines and it worked out great - we were seated quickly on a Saturday evening. The restaurant is located in the same plaza as Ranch 99 so there's plenty of parking all around with no need for payment. The inside was relatively spacious and I appreciate the fact that their menu has pictures of each dish so you're able to reference it. We opted for their squid legs, the Tokyo, and the Kyoto. The dishes are impressive looking and their homemade vinegar made the dish all better. Overall, the service was attentive and friendly, the dishes came out in a timely manner, and we found a new noodle spot to go to. read more

Quick update - Went back to try their vegan mazemen this time and boy, it was really flavorful and yummy. What a heavenly combination of flavor and noodle texture! If you are looking for a new vegetarian dish to try, this is one not to miss. It comes with individual items such as Brussels sprouts, mushroom etc charred (which gives the dish that nice aroma) . Also my family tried their chicken karage and black sesame cheesecake with side ice cream topping, which they love. read more

The first NorCal branch of Wadaya, formerly MoguMogu from SoCal! Compared to Kajiken up in San Mateo, Wadaya has fewer flavor options, but is pretty comparable in price and quality. The wait is also way shorter here than Kajiken, and the staff are super friendly and were happy to explain the menu to my parents as first timers to mazemen! Portion size was pretty perfect, with no leftovers for me and my dad. My mom found the deluxe to be a little bit too much food for her, since it has two eggs and extra chashu. Fish powder was super delicious, and I wish I could get extra of it. The chashu was nice and tender, with a touch of smokiness, would totally get it as an add on to my bowl next time. The slight disappointment was the cheesecake - it was a perfectly creamy texture and not too sweet, but it wasn't punchy enough on the black sesame flavor for me. You could taste it as an after note rather than the primary flavor. read more

This is my first time trying mazemen ramen! We came here on a Saturday and there was a 30min wait but it went by really quickly. Service was amazing, the employees were attentive and explained the process of eating mazemen ramen (it's also on the menu and on the wall). We got the squid as appetizer, delicious. As for the ramen, it is on the saltier side so I'm not sure it was to my liking. At the end you also get a tiny tiny bowl of rice to mix with the extra sauce. I was really full near the end and had to give the rest to my partner. It's def worth a try but not sure if it's really for me! read more

We really enjoyed the soupless ramen here. Although we still prefer soup ramen, this was a nice change. Tastes really good but it's pretty heavy. Not too salty like other soupless ramen spots. Hokkaido crepe was ok. It's smooth and pillowy but didn't have much flavor We came 10 mins after they opened and didn't have to wait for a table read more

Service was attentive, friendly and helpful. My friend and I both got the deluxe mazeman. The noodles were a little too al dente for me, so it took a little more strength to chew. Would have preferred it to be less hard while still maintaining the chewiness/bounciness and flavor, but my friend thought it was fine. The overall dish felt like it had alot of flavorful things going on. It was also too salty, so my friend and I just ended up adding alot of vinegar to tone it down, and splurge in its acidity read more

Wanted to try out something nearby after hiking Mission Peak and this place seemed solid so we did. It was on a Sunday so we expected a line but seated very quickly and filled up a moment later! I had Veggie Miso Mazeman with impossible nuggets. Mazeman was okay, loved the concept but lacking something. Nuggets were nothing fancy, I expected to see more of vegetarian choices though!

I went to this place on Friday night and they were busy! I added my name to the waitlist. The staff were really helpful and attentive even though it was busy. Super nice. I ordered the chicken karaage,takoyaki LA and ikageso to share with the table. My favorite appetizer was the ikageso, the squid was fried perfectly. The takoyaki was good, super hot and fresh. The karraage was good, I liked the sauce they put over it. I ordered the deluxe mazemen. The noodles had a good chew. The sliced pork was good. I added some vinegar and mixed everything together. The spicy pork gave it a rich flavor. I would have liked some chili oil on the side. Pretty good. I was given a small bowl of rice to mix in the sauce and the remaining meat to make a rizoto. That was new to me. I liked that the sever offered to give us more sauce if needed. I was so full after dinner. Which is a good thing. A new place to try at Fremont. I will be back. read more

Got the deluxe mazemen and the experience was incredible, plate was cleared! Not only is this a meal, but an experience. The deluxe mazemen is so full of flavor, umami, and filling portion. Especially like how chewy the noodles are. They instruct you to mix everything thoroughly, halfway through the meal to add the umami vinegar, and then once you finish all the noodles they provide a small cup of rice to eat with the remaining sauce. Very detailed, attentive, and thoughtful process! Came for lunch on a Sunday. Wait time wasn't too long, about 15 minutes. Entire restaurant was full. Felt like a mostly trendy, decently authentic, modern Asian restaurant. Typical wooden furniture, fake greenery combo if you know what I mean. Overall, it is a great meal! Will come again. read more

TAKEOUT REVIEW: Wadaya is located in a plaza in northern Fremont where there's lots of other hopping new Asian places. The parking lot isn't big enough for all the new restaurants and shops, so parking is a challenge. It was my first time having mazemen, so like the geek that I am, I read up on how to eat it. Mazemen is like a bowl of ramen but without the broth. Instead there's this delicious umami sauce at the bottom of the bowl. The noodles are thick with the perfect bit of chewiness. You mix everything together, add some of their homemade vinegar, and yum. The vinegar adds a brightness and cuts through the richness of the sauce. Then when you get to the bottom of the bowl, you can add some rice to soak up the remaining sauce. I didn't realize that they already include a little scoop of rice with your mazemen order, so I ordered a side of white rice. Tip: Rice is included :) What we ordered: + Kyoto - this was the only mazemen on their menu with no spiciness, so that's what I went with. This was delicious with chopped chashu and kale. The poached egg they packed easily cracked open and drizzled onto my bowl. Yes, I prefer this to ramen. + Spicy Miso ramen - hubby went for this, and he really enjoyed the simplicity of this dish. He doesn't really care for seaweed and fungus, so this simple chashu and corn dish was perfect for him. He only wished it was spicier. + Chicken karaage - this was excellent. They drizzle on some type of hot honey sauce that gave this a little sweetness and a kick. + Sausages - ordered this on a wimp. Tastes like hot dogs. It has a nice snap. It was good, but I don't think it really goes with ramen or mazemen. Overall, I'm happy to have experienced this new place and now am a mazemen fan. read more

I've been looking for a mazemen place for a few years & this place has completely fit my standards. My sister introduced me to it when I visited her in LA. I have dreamt of it since. When I came across it on social media I bookmarked this place immediately. It's going to be a staple! This location is in a small shopping center next to a coffee & tea shop. It's a smaller sized restaurant with a fast service. The food is top tier. I recommend the Tokyo or deluxe. You cannot go wrong! Don't forget to add the vinegar half way for a different bite & then the rice in the end. It's like getting 3 dishes but paying for 1' read more

Wadaya - Tokyo - Ramen Near Me - Fremont, California

I'm in Fremont every other weekend and randomly decided to stop for ramen--even though I don't even like ramen like that. Found this spot on Yelp and it looked promising so I went for it. I called ahead to ask about reservations and the girl on the phone was super nice and straight up said it wasn't busy and there was no wait. When I came in, I immediately loved the ambience and decor--super cozy and welcoming. But honestly, the staff is what made this place. Everyone was SO nice and insanely attentive. They kept checking in, explained everything really well, and made the whole experience feel easy and comfortable. You can tell they actually care about the customers read more

I wouldn't go out of my way to come here, but it was overall a decent experience! It was quite busy on a Wednesday evening. Lots of tables and a waitlist. We waited about 20 minutes. Customer service was super friendly! Some of the staff also spoke Mandarin. The seats and floors were very sticky though. Started with the Takowasa as an appetizer to share, and this was delicious! Can't go wrong. Strongly flavored with wasabi and the octopus tasted fresh. A small portion, but yummy. The Saitama Mazemen was okay. Honestly, it was really salty for my liking. The noodles were cooked perfectly though, and I liked the addition of the poached egg. The overall flavor was just too much for me. I think I would prefer your standard soup ramen over the dry mazemen. read more

This place has quickly become our new favorite dry ramen place in the entire Bay Area! We've been three times in the past month and it's always been an enjoyable experience. We've tried the Karage, Saitama, and Vegan Tokyo. Karage (4/5): Not the best Karage I've had but still solid. Nicely crispy and seasoned, though the sauce drizzle that's put on top is too sweet for my taste. Saitama (3.5/5): The flavors were deep but I thought it was too watery for me, though maybe that's just how their mazemen is. But my biggest complaint was it's just too salty, and I consider myself as having a high salt tolerance! -Vegan Tokyo (6/5): This is the dish we keep coming back for -- I'm an omnivore and usually never order vegan food but wow this dish temporarily converts me to veganism every time I'm here! The freshly crispy kale, generous scoop of freshly chopped garlic, SAVORY sautéed mushroom and brussel sprouts, and creamy avocado create a perfect symphony of mazemen goodness! The texture of the thick noodles is addictively bouncy as well. I never knew a plant-based dish could have such savory flavor! Another notable positive is the super welcoming and friendly staff and service -- they always greet you with genuine smiles and constantly check on you. Overall, that Vegan Tokyo is a must-try even if you're not vegan and why we keep coming back! read more

A casual spot for mazemen. I arrived around 12:15pm on a Sunday for lunch and was quickly seated. I'm glad I didn't have to wait; the restaurant filled up fairly quickly over the next hour. I tried their Tokyo mazemen. It's a generous portion size! I had enough leftover for a small meal later. While I was not blown away, it was yummy and definitely scratched my mazemen craving. read more

Went here around 7:15pm, was pretty packed when me and my girlfriend got there. There is a waitlist on a tablet so we put our name and phone numbers in and they notify you through a text. You just text back a number whether you want to confirm and say you're on your way, or cancel it. You just walk in and a host/server will accompany you to your table. The table is already with water and menus! We got hot green tea to start, very refreshing for a cold day. Ikageso as an appetizer, very big pieces and honestly if you live ika, I recommend. We got the deluxe mazemen, their vinegar mixed with it is so delicious. Honestly, we love sweet stuff and the matcha Mille crepe really hit the spot. The matcha is very flavorful and actually authentic and tastes like real matcha from Japan. Definitely recommend! The place seems to get pretty crowded around dinner time, so I would say get there early or go for lunch, the seating is very limited but it's such a great place to hangout or drink with your friends. read more

I got the deluxe mazemen which came with porkbelly, and two eggs. It also came with minced pork and seaweed. At the end they give you rice to mix with the leftover sauce.

Loved the mazesoba here! ! also got the Osaka takoyaki which were yummy. Everything was delicious but it is a ton of carbs and super hearty so be ready for a major food coma afterwards. They have a second step to add vinegar to change flavor of the noodles which is delicious also they give you more rice to soak up the sauce (even more carbs). Great service - they gave you instructions on how to eat the noodles in steps and asked frequently if you needed anything extra. Now I'm stuffed and ready for a nap! read more

This was my first visit here, and I tried the karaage and Tokyo Mazemen. The karaage was fine, but nothing to write home about. The mazemen, however, was steeped with flavor and the noodles had a nice, hearty chew. I loved every component of the dish, and ended up eating the whole thing (I was stuffed but I couldn't help it). Partway through the meal, I followed their advice and added the homemade umami vinegar, which was also very tasty. Towards the end they brought a small bowl of rice to add, which was a satisfying way to end the meal and soak up the yummy sauce. I enjoyed the default mild-to-medium spice level of the ground pork, so the dish was perfect for me. My lunchmate could not tolerate as much spice, so had the spicy pork on the side so that it could be added more sparingly. Great service, nice interior, and parking was crowded but we found a spot within a couple minutes (on a Sunday at lunch). I am definitely returning with some friends and family whom I know are big noodle fans. read more

First timer trying mazemen. I'm a soup girl but wanted to try something new. It did not disappoint. We were seated right away and the server was very helpful being that it was our first time here. There are a good amount of tables. And it's bright inside. I ordered the deluxe mazemen and it was very good and flavorful. I like how they give you a little bit of rice to add at the end. And their house vinegar is delicious halfway through. It's like getting a whole new meal. Lol 3 meals in one. read more

Ordered: Deluxe Mazeman (my picture doesn't have a hard boiled egg because they forgot it but I asked for one after) I'm glad that more restaurants that serve mazeman are popping up because I love it. If you love mazeman, you will enjoy this place. This was a very flavorful noodle and every bite was umami. Because the dish can get pretty heavy, they do suggest adding their house made vinegar which helped freshen the dish. At the end, they'll give you a small scoop of rice so you can mix it in with the rest of your sauce. You will for sure be full after this meal. Service was good, we get check ins from the waiters who are happy to help. The restaurant is very clean and cozy. The wait was not bad when I went for lunch on a Saturday, but I do notice there is a waiting list. read more

Wadaya - Deluxe - Ramen Near Me - Fremont, California

Tasty but deducted a star for pricing/value. I got the Deluxe mazemen($21). Added cheese ($1.5) and curry powder($1) Loved all the flavors. You get two eggs: one for mixing and one soft boiled egg. $1.5 for cheese is pretty wild but it was really good with the dish. The curry powder was good to try but I enjoyed the dish more without it. I ate half without the curry powder and half with it to try the flavors out. The chashu is thinly sliced which is nice. One of my pieces was a lil dry though. I feel like it could use some char for flavor but that's me. Overall, I enjoyed my experience and wouldn't mind coming back if I was in the area but wouldn't make a crazy detour. I think the portions could be better for the prices. It's def on the upper end of noodle dishes. read more

This was my first time having mazemen in the US and it was very good! Be aware that there may be a wait - we waited probably about 20-25 minutes for two people yesterday, but they kept things moving quickly. While you wait you can go grab a drink from the cafes nearby or do some quick grocery shopping! What really stood out to me about Wadaya is that they walk you through the three different ways of enjoying your meal. Others have likely said it, but they presented three very different eating experiences in just one bowl and that is hard to beat! My favorite part was adding their house made vinegar. It was a little sweet and had so much umami that just took the noodles to the next level. The rice at the end was also a nice touch. I kind of wish I hadn't had a snack before going because I was pretty full by the time it was time to have the risotto. Overall a very good experience. read more

Wadaya - Ramen Near Me - Fremont, California

At Wadaya, the name of the game is mazesoba - a burgeoning sub category of ramen in the US that is quickly catching on with the likes of Kajiken, Tsujita, and now Wadaya. What sets this place apart is their focus on service, as well as the complimentary rice at the end to help accompany the use of all the mixed up sauce. Most restaurants require 2, maybe 3 visits to fully understand and fairly grasp their rating. With Ramen it's much simpler and the cuisine typically allows for more consistency - which was the case here. Although I recently only had my first visit, I felt this warranted an immediate secondary visit. As mentioned, I ordered the Mazesoba - saitama. The dish itself is perfectly balanced and assembled. Although their was advice to add vinegar to taste, it didn't feel necessary, just a different profile. The noodles were cooked perfectly and all the seasonings and accompaniments were all portioned in perfect harmony. My only nitpick was they were heavy on the garlic - lending to an incredible flavor, but be wary of this especially if you're here on a date. Although I don't expect much in terms of service when dining in for ramen, service was very warm and attentive. We never had to ask for refills or even for our complimentary rice. All in all, this was one of the most satisfying meals I've had in a while, and I'm pretty picky when it comes to ramen. For those near the Fremont/Union City area consider yourselves fortunate that this joint has entered the territory as they possess real chops in the realm of Ramen. read more

Wadaya - Ramen Near Me - Fremont, California

Was around the area so stopped by on a weekday night and it wasn't busy. They specialize in the mazemen (soupless noodles) and have ramen options as well. I tried the Tokyo mazemen which has spicy minced pork, a poached egg and other sauce seasonings. Make sure to stir well before eating. It was super flavorful and the noodle was nice and chewy. All the toppings went well each bite. Towards the end they give a mini bowl of rice to try with the sauce. I actually liked it a bit more than with the noodles since it soaked up the flavors really well. It was cool to try both with the sauce! read more

Super tasty mazemen! I love that their noodles are thicker than traditional ramen noodles - I love chewy noodles. The sauce was super flavorful. It was great as is, and they also recommend trying with vinegar, which gave a fresh change to the very savory and rich flavor. At the end, they also give you some steamed rice to mix into the remaining sauce to make a little "risotto". Everything was super good. The server was very nice and explained all of the above to us. A note on the non-spicy mazemen: it's still peppery, so ended up being too "spicy" for my kids. Just putting that out there for the parents. read more

Vegan food done well is rare at Asian restaurants, but Wadaya freaking delivered. I ordered the vegan mazemen because I needed some vegetables in my meal, and it was delicious! It was definitely a mixture of textures that ultimately worked really well combined. I like that the staff give you instructions on how to eat mazemen in case you're unfamiliar with it, and it gives the dish itself a fighting chance when you eat it the way it's meant to be eaten. The main thing that honestly stood out to us was how great the service was. The servers were all smiles and very patient, and I'd definitely recommend this spot to anyone vegetarian or vegan! read more

This was delicious! Packed with so many toppings on such a bed of chewy cooked noodles. It was fun mixing it all together then taking a bit of the colorful chaos. Since the sauce can get heavy after every bit my favorite part was mixing in the side of vinegar sauce they provide. It truly gives it some tang that helps break through eating the entire meal. Last but not least is the extra small scoop of rice. Personally I could have asked for more but I think this does a great job of soaking up the extra sauce and helps make sure nothing goes to waste. Definitely left here leaving my bowl clean. I'd recommend coming here for a nice dinner out , great service and explanation of the menu, and such a lively welcoming vibe inside! read more

Wadaya - Deluxe dry ramen - Ramen Near Me - Fremont, California

Came to Wadaya and finally tried their Saitama, Deluxe, and karaage, and wow -- what a delicious experience! The Saitama bowl is a dry ramen made with ground chicken, and it was packed with savory flavor. Not salty at all, just a perfect hit of umami. Halfway through, you're instructed to add their vinegar, which completely shifts the flavor profile in the best way -- brighter, tangier, and still incredibly tasty. And then the finale: once you finish the noodles, they bring out a scoop of rice to mix in with the leftover sauce. It absorbs everything and creates a third flavor experience to finish the bowl. So fun and so good! The Deluxe follows the same process but features pork and is their "everything" bowl. Rich, satisfying, and equally enjoyable with the vinegar and rice steps. We also tried the karaage, and it was excellent -- super crispy on the outside, moist on the inside, drizzled with sauce, and paired with a tasty spicy mayo dip. Service was awesome, too. Our server checked on us regularly to make sure we were enjoying the bowls the way they're meant to be eaten and asked if we needed anything else throughout the meal. Definitely a spot I'd come back to! read more

Wadaya mean, dry ramen?! After a visit to Wadaya for my first experience of their signature mazemen, a ramen sans broth, I am a fan and hooked for the next tasting! Wadaya, tucked to the side of a neighborhood shopping center that's populated by high rated eateries, cafes, and a grocery store, is the newcomer in town. Despite just opening in September this year, the place is quietly gathering a following and bringing in patrons from near and far. Not known to need reservations, most should be able to walk in but larger parties will likely have a tougher time as most of the seating are booths intended for parties of four or fewer guests. As a novice to mazemen, the intrigue was enough to bring us in and fortunately for us, we came early and had our picking of seats. The brightly lit restaurant matched the positive energy emitting from the staff members greeting us. As we sat, we were introduced to the new cuisine and its method of consumption (which is detailed on their menu and signs around the shop) as well as the ordering process which could be done via the QR code or the staff servicing the table. Perusing the picture-rich physical menu, which is simply categorized as appetizers, rice bowls, mazemen, and traditional ramen with broth, you'll be able to quickly decide your next meal based on what your stomach and tastebuds are craving. Of course, being their specialty, the mazemen will be the most logical choice but the ingredients and care put into each bowl is a great indicator that anything that's brought to the table will be sure to satisfy. For those with sensitivities to spices, you can ask for the hot stuff (e.g., pepper spiced ingredients, jalapeños) to be served separately. Mazemen, was described to us as eaten typically by first mixing all the ingredients together, eaten with or without their house vinegar which is brined with kelp and pepper, and then finally finished off with a small portion of rice to soak up all the leftover umami in the bowl. For those looking to have a different texture to their bite of noodles, they may request the kitchen to cook the noodles longer or shorter. The standard is al dente which was perfect for us. Takoyaki - coming in two versions, you'll have the option to consume their more crispy variety, the LA style, or their more traditional form. We ordered the former and it was delicious, came out piping hot, and was proportioned well with just the right amount of protein. Karaage chicken - about 6 pieces of lightly breaded crispy chicken pieces served with a red, tangy and flavorful numbing spicy sauce and a house spicy mayo. Tender and juicy to go with the light crunch! Deluxe mazemen - a good portion of noodles mixed using the poached egg with all of its components like the spiced minced pork, chives, scallions, seaweed, garlic, and pork chashu made for a hearty meal consisting of moist yet tender bites. Kyoto mazemen - kale and chicken galore! This healthy bowl is sure to be a delight for those looking to pack on some power foods. When all mixed together, each bite comes with balance and the typically tough kale was easy to consume. They do also serve desserts here but they're not made in-house. Although the cheesecake, mochi and ice cream flavors (matcha, sesame, and yuzu) did tempt my tastebuds, we were much too stuffed to pursue anymore. Give more reason for a return visit! The staff were extremely warm and welcoming as we stepped foot in the shop all through dinner service. Two standouts, Michael and Vincent, were attentive, courteous, and informative in their service. Kudos to the training staff as the quality of service seemed to be consistent throughout the evening with multiple parties. Overall, Wadaya is taking the ramen market by storm with its special dry version, mazemen. As the only place I know so far that serves this in the Bay Area, everyone should give it a try! Introduction to a new dish with excellent execution in quality and proportions in addition to being paired with fantastic hospitality, it's worth paying the premium for their deluxe bowls. Wadaya want to eat next? MAZEMEN! read more

As a huge noodle lover, dare I say that these are the best that I've eaten in a long time?! Although they're more on the al dente side, the flavor is immaculate and their deluxe mazemen is otherworldly! I forgot to snap a pic of their LA style takoyaki and it was spectacular as well. Totally beats all of the takoyaki I've tried and you can taste that it was made with care. This restaurant is so cute and cozy, good for smaller groups or a date! Their waitstaff are super friendly and helpful with recommendations too, highly recommend Wadaya! read more

I love ramen and mazemen so was super excited to try this place. I got the deluxe mazemen and my sister got the miso ramen. I thought the flavor of the mazemen was great but the toppings were only okay. The chashu didn't really have any flavor. The miso ramen was very light, and did not stand out to me. We also got a chicken karaage appetizer which was delicious! The chicken was super juicy and the spicy mayo paired perfectly with it. Service was okay, kind of slow but it was a full house. The restaurant itself is a little small, and fills up fast so don't be surprised if you have to wait! read more

The reviews for this new ramen shop were HIGH so we thought we definitely need to drop by preferably when the line isn't crazy. We showed up for lunch on a Monday soon after they opened and were able to nab one of the last tables before the line started. There are instructions on the wall of how to eat the mazemen so of course we had to order a bowl. I ordered deluxe mazemen. I've never had dry mixed ramen before but don't be fulled it's not exactly "dry" there is a seasoning sauce that it is tossed in and pools on the bottom, Also why they give you a tiny scoop of rice to soak it up at the end. It is def a flavor bomb the noodles are on the stiffer side almost al dente.. possibly undercooked and I'm usually the one that if there's the option orders stiff noodles. The poached egg was perfect with the noodles especially when it burst a little added more "sauce". We also got an order of the Tokyo mazemen which is like the deluxe but less stuff and a spicy miso ramen. Neither the spicy miso or the mazemen were really spicy tho. Good while eating but def afterwards I felt like it was a salt bomb and was drinking water all day. Worth it to come try a place that offers mazemen, would I wait in a long line for it? Probably not but if there's no wait yeah I'll be back again. I want to try the other mazemen flavors. I'd probably skip out on the ramen soups though, there are other places with better tastes in the area for ramen soup. read more

I've been wanting to visit Wadaya for a while now but never had the chance since I don't go to Fremont very often. I finally got to try it yesterday! My friend and I stopped by around 4:05pm on Sunday and luckily there was no wait. My friend ordered the deluxe (sliced pork chashu, spicy minced pork, and soft-boiled egg) while I got the tokyo (spicy minced pork). We also shared a side of chicken kaarage. I actually really enjoyed the kaarage, it was super juicy! The noodles were delicious too, though a lot fishier than I expected. Service was great and our server was really friendly. The restaurant itself has a good amount of tables and felt comfortable overall' Would definitely come back to try more! read more
