Slurp Shop is part of the Saga Collective of dining options (other menus from Saga include chinese dim sum and other japanese choices like sushi and sandwiches). Same venue and kitchen, so they just separately brand each menu differently. Solid ramen and gyoza though. I stopped in for lunch after my workout for a bowl of Niku Tantan Mein Ramen (about $16 before tax), and you can add a small side of gyoza for $4.75. Ramen broth was beef-based and nicely flavored. Toppings were ground beef, bamboo shoots, black earwood mushrooms, 1 egg, 1 petite fishcake slice, 3 slices of smokey torch-charred pork belly, and sliced scallions. It was a hearty lunch with a good balance and ratio of protein and noodles. Noodles were a bit soft and slightly thicker than angel hair pasta width. They were different than the noodle type that everyone else posted a year ago, so not sure if they changed their ramen noodles or if you have a choice to select the thicker/curlier and chewy noodles. The gyoza side dish came with 4 mini bite-sized dumplings. If you want sauce, you have to get it at the condiment counter inside. I like that they provide compostable wooden utensils for eating and a glass jar of iced water as you sit down. Order by scanning the table QR code or via the Saga app or Toast app. Just be aware that the Toast app had about $0.75 of an upcharge for some menu items and I didn't see the gyoza combo option available on the Saga app. Place is cute and played hip hop tunes inside.

The Ramen was really good! Just enough Spicy/heat. Really good broth or soup whatever it's called haha Got the vegetarian one with the beyond meat. Super big serving. For sure can feed two people. The presentation was very nice even came with a wooden ladle. I would only say the service is okay. We sat next door where you had to call over service through restaurants QR code. Very nice scenery.

Slurp Shop is a great noodle spot! The ramen was perfect for a fall evening. We ordered the Meyer Shio and tan Tan Mein. The broth was flavorful and the pork belly was too good. There are also vegetarian options and the broth-less special looked really good, I will try it next time. The soft boiled egg was done perfectly. I told myself I'd only eat half of my ramen but it was hard to stop because it was so good! The food was prepared quickly and there's a nice area to eat next door with fun art. I will be ordering from Slurp Shop often.

Slurp Shop is a menu option inside SAGA Kitchen in Alameda, CA. Menu offerings include: Ramen noodle bowls, and appetizers (chicken karaage and gyoza). On a Sunday, I pre-ordered using the SAGA app: -House Tonkotsu, ramen bowl -Chicken Karaage -Pan Fried Pork Gyoza House Tonkotsu, Grade (5/5), delicious ramen soup with lots of noodles! Served in a pork broth, topped with pork belly chashu (slices), green onions, mushrooms, and soft boiled eggs. The menu says it's a little spicy, but I didn't really taste it. This dish has lots of fresh noodles! And the pork broth blends well with the other ingredients to create a great meal. The takeout container is a little hard to open. The broth is in the bottom section, and the ingredients are in the top section. The ramen travels better when the broth is separate, and you mix it at home. Chicken Karaage, Grade (5/5), Japanese Fried Chicken, 7-8 small pieces of chicken. They were juicy on the inside and the crispy on the outside. Pan Fried Pork Gyoza, Grade (4/5). Japanese Pork Potstickers. Juicy and tasty filling, and lightly crispy skin. My problem is, when you're used to Chinese potstickers, it's not quite the same. Gyoza are smaller dumplings, and have less filling. So in general the Slurp Shop menu items I ordered were good. I used the SAGA app to order, used the 20% Discount, left a tip, and picked up my order myself. Had a nice chat with Gilbert about the new menu, and he answered all my questions. SAGA Kitchen is located at Lincoln Ave x Grand Street in Alameda, CA. Indoor & outdoor dining, takeout, and delivery. ------------------------------------------------ Support Local business!
