"I was never much of a ramen fiend until I was introduced to Ramen Halu. People always raved about Ryowa, which I never thought was all that great. I liked the negitoro donburi combo at that other ramen place in Milpitas that I can’t even remember now. And then I found Ramen Halu. The first time I went, I had the Shoyu (soy sauce) ramen. it was good. The cha-shu was memorable though – perfectly fatty and tender and tasty – which is the reason I came back again. On my return trip, I tried the signature Halu Ramen dish, and let me say, I have never stopped eating it. The broth, which has visible tiny chunks of pork fat afloat is so perfectly sweet and tasty. I usually don’t drink my ramen broth b/c it tends to be too salty for me, but with Halu Ramen, I can’t stop drinking it! The thick ramen noodles are crunchy and silky and smooth. The texture is just supremely satisfying. Add in the perfect cha-shu, and I come here every week. On top of that, their service is really friendly. They are a little slow at times (they’re always completely full and don’t have many servers, so you can’t blame them), but I was blown away by what I experienced yesterday. I had a bit of a headache, so after we placed our orders, my boyfriend rushed out to try to find me some tylenol. It took a bit longer than we thought, and the waiter noticed his bowl of ramen sitting on the table, untouched, for quite a while. He graciously offered to make him a brand new bowl when my boyfriend returned. It turned out he came back just about a minute after they took his bowl away, but they did make him a brand new bowl and didn’t charge us for it either! I thought that kind of service was just impeccable. I love Ramen Halu. I eat there almost every week."
