Yo-kai Express @ Aloft

Please bring this next door to the Westin! They "Wastin" my money with 2 cups of store bought Ramen for 10 dollars.

The machine failed to put water into my pho (but sprayed hot water over the outside of the container) and I was left with frozen meat and uncooked noodles. Cool concept, but completely failed execution.

Seriously not bad for a machine! Great quick fix meal!

Given that it's a vending machine, it's fairly decent. Veggies and meat all re-hydrated nicely. A bit pricey, but really convenient. It is very important that you stir it and let it sit as soon as possible.

Bad food and even worse attitude. Will never recommend this place. I took the time to go and provide some feedback that the chicken was spoiled and the staff did not care.

The bowl size is big, the food is very hot and tasty. The noodle quality is top notch. I'm a ramen lover and this machine is fantastic! Great selection of ramen, rice bowls and other things. Hope they add more locations at hotels and public areas around major cities. It's a game changer, close to one of the things that make Japan a very cool country. Hope to see these great machines around the US too. Great job Yo-kai!

Easy, quick and theres a lot of options! Customer service was great! Liked it!!

Coolness factor aside, once the machine delivered my hot bowl of soup, the machine didn’t cook the noodles long enough for them to be hot. haha. No - really. Everything was just kind of lukewarm. (I got the Pho) Fortunately, the hotel had a weak microwave there and I had to put it in twice for 2 then 5 minutes before I was happy to call it “hot” soup. But… once it was done? Delicious noodles and beef but the meatball was hilariously rubbery and squeaky on my teeth. Sooooo - 3/5 - good - but only if you’re really hungry and don’t mind waiting a bit longer to heat it up.
