Food Blogger Alyssa, known as @feedmeimei on Instagram, posted a review of the Newark vending machine at Ohlone College in 2019. Although it was an older model then, it still produced some pretty spectacular noodles. She and her mom both gave positive reviews of the machine’s tonkotsu ramen.
Menu options include black garlic oil tonkotsu ramen, spicy kimchi vegan ramen, shrimp tempura udon, and prime beef pho. You can also order home meal kits, which ship to all 50 states and feature some more awesome flavors.
