Yo-kai Express Aloft - Millbrae

Considering it's a vending machine meal, it’s surprisingly good. The vegetables and meat rehydrate well. It’s a bit on the expensive side, but very convenient. Be sure to stir it and let it sit for a while right after you prepare it.

The noodles had a nice al dente texture at first but quickly turned mushy because of the heat from the soup. There was a good amount of small beef chunks, but they were a bit chewy. The bok choy was overcooked and reminded me of rehydrated vegetables from Asian soups. The carrots were mushy too—what happened there? Overall, the entire bowl was excessively salty and spicy, and I had to give up after just three bites.

The food was terrible, and the service was even worse. I would never recommend this place. I made an effort to visit and give feedback about the spoiled chicken, but the staff showed no concern.

It's not a traditional restaurant; it's a ramen vending machine. The ramen is surprisingly delicious, given that it's packaged. It's a perfect choice when you arrive late at night and no other restaurants are open. Very convenient!

Convenient and delicious! A soup vending machine? What an amazing idea! You can grab a bowl at midnight when you're feeling hungry, and I absolutely love it!
