Ramen Nagi

There’s almost always a line at Ramen Nagi in Westfield Valley Fair, but it truly is worth the wait! The ramen is delicious, comforting, and great value for the quality you get. Portions are generous, the noodles have that perfect chewy texture, and the broth is rich with layers of flavor that deepen as you eat. Plus, after your meal, you can stroll around the beautiful mall—there’s plenty to explore while you digest. We tried both the Red King and Black King ramen, and they each have very distinct personalities. • Black King: This is the boldest of the bunch, featuring a dramatic jet-black broth made with squid ink, blackened garlic, and a tonkotsu base. The result is deeply savory, full of umami, and surprisingly complex without being overwhelming. • Red King: Despite its fiery appearan

Ramen Nagi at Valley Fair is honestly worth the hype in terms of taste and quality, but the weekend wait is brutal. I waited about 1 hour outside in line, and that part wasn’t worth it for me. They do handle the line well though. Someone came out with the order sheet and explained options. I got Veggie King and they told me it comes with a hash brown, plus you can substitute things like mushroom/spinach with whatever you want. We added cabbage, white rice, and garlic onions on the side. The ramen itself was tasty and spicy. I chose 9/10 spice and it was delicious, not gonna lie. Portion was filling, I was full by the end. Inside is cramped, but service is fast. Overall great ramen, just avoid weekends unless you enjoy waiting in long lines. Weekdays would be the move.

I usually don’t enjoy ramen because it often doesn’t feel flavorful enough for me, but this place completely changed my mind. The broth was incredibly creamy and packed with flavor, and the spice had an amazing punch. I chose level 7 (I normally eat spicy food), and it was perfect. The hash browns and mushrooms were such a great addition and added amazing texture. I also loved the noodles — I chose the thick, firm option, and they were just right. Overall, I really enjoyed the experience.

This is one of the iconic ramen places in Bay area and I wanted to give it a try…waited in queue for about an hour to get in on a weekday for lunch…was already super hungry by then. We had vegan and the spicy ramen. One of the best broths and the spice level is kickass. Loved the texture of noodles and the richness of broth. The complimentary bean sprouts are tasty and be sure to order edamame too. Simple menu, full stomach!

Overrated on all accounts. Because of the long line, the service was rushed and they almost rushed us to finish faster. The ramen was not creamy and delicious but rather too fatty. It was bland and not tasty at all. The noodles were uncooked. The chicken karaage was fine but not memorable. The whole experience was just okay and as expected “mall food”, and the meal was mediocre. I’ve had better ramen in South Bay.
