Great prices, decent size portions. Not the most amazing food, but you’re getting great value.

Really wanted to like this place because it came highly recommended. Could be the dishes we ordered so might go back and try again. Had the chicken don, katsu don, curry chicken, seaweed salad and another noodle dish. Should have gotten the ramen because when it came by our table on the way to another table, it looked good. The don bowls were a little flavorless while the other dishes’ flavors were too strong. The place was packed on a Friday night. Lots of upper grade school aged students there. Service was slow but understandable that it’s hard for 2 people to wait on a fully packed house.

The food was good, and the service was nice. Tasty Japanese food options available, I had the katsu don bowl and my dining mate had a ramen with boiled egg. The fried squid appetizer was also tasty, though my pic only represents one of 3 sticks, and it’s partially eaten. They also served us a complimentary fried cheesy dish appetizer which was quite good.

This was the worst service at a restaurant I’ve ever had. Our waitress was literally yelling at us and forced us to tip more after we’d already collectively put our money together for her. She wouldn’t let my friend order the spicy miso because she didn’t think she’d be able to handle it, I only wanted a water and she yelled at me to order something and I had to order potstickers, and she was raising her voice at the group next to us as well. The food was good but the customer service made it so we will never ever step foot in there again.

There are very few times that Yelp has led me down a wrong path and this is one of them. I’m not sure how this place receives an average 4 star rating. We ordered the ramen with spicy tonkatsu broth. You have to add each topping separately. Most ramen incorporates the spices to the soup base to make it spicy. When I received it, there was a layer of hot oil floating on top. The noodles tasted like the ramen noodles from a package. It has that same waxy exterior that is very distinctive. The signs of a good ramen is the noodle and the soup. Both failed. The egg was over cooked and the yolk had a grayish ring. The one redeeming thing is the minced pork. It was flavorful, but again on the dry side.

Waitress/owner was very energetic and seemed to know most of the clients. We were here for the first time because I was craving katsudon. The meat was very tender, better worked than most other places. The onions were very undercooked on the other hand, so I didnt eat them. The ramen was good for a regular restaurant but we prefer the ramen served in ramen specific restaurants a lot more. All in all, a simple and nice spot for a meal.

Charley Noodle is one of the most affordable restaurants in the area, and the food is super delicious. You can get a full meal under $10, which is unheard of nowadays in the bay area. I always get the ramen bowl, gyoza (potsickers), California Roll and the sesame chicken. They always give me a free item as well (either edamame or egg rolls). This place is consistently good!
