Yo-Kai Express has developed a vending machine which delivers ramen noodles in a hot bowl in 45 seconds. Machines are currently being placed in corporate and public locations around San Francisco. 

Created five years ago by Andy Lin, a Silicon Valley–based electrical engineer who was frustrated at not being able to find a way to order a ramen noodle bowl in the middle of the night, Yo-Kai means “monster” in Japanese. 

The machine is also nicknamed “octo-chef” by Lin and his team because it seemingly does the impossible job of offering a gourmet-style bowl of ramen noodles without the consumer having to wait for someone to make the order.
