Doing 4 stars until I get a few more menu tastes happening.,this was my first visit to this location as a late lunch after a few appointments.,small location but clean and friendly.,I was sure of the best Raken bowl to start with so I asked the young man working the register, and he said most people order and enjoy the black garlic soup. And so that’s what I ordered with a lemonade. I seated myself outside at one of their high table seating and mins later another young man served me my order., the presentation prior to me digging into my soup was unique and colorful. The taste was even better. Did not need to add anything extra for flavor as I asked for spicy ?.,was so delicious and the lemonade was refreshing. All in all a pleasant first visit. Returning soon
We saw them took the bones out of the big pot of broth. So they cooked with real bones , their broth was really good. And stuffs was so good too, like black pork, egg, bamboo....
Wow the ramen taste so deliciously good. Pay first before you eat. Pricey but you get what you pay for and its worth it. Small place and gets full right away but you can option for a take out if its full. Definitely will come back again.
As busy as the restaurant gets, the chicken ramen was super delicious. I can see why they were busy. In the afternoon is the busiest hours. I’d prefer ordering ahead of time. I spentabout $30 for two ramens and two spam musubi. It was totally worth the price. If the tables are unavailable, you are always able to take it to go. It comes in a nice sturdy plastic bowl and the broth comes separate from the noodles. I was highly satisfied with my to go order! :)
Was so uncertain about trying this place that I've never heard of before. Ordered a mild ramen bowl with the best tasting egg in it. Everything was great and the vibe was positive and energized great spot to meet up with some friends and enjoy a meal.
Wow this place was busy, and I can see why. Food was so good. Great spot to get your noodles. Order ahead if you come during lunch, it's so busy but they are fast. Food is great and there is a LOT of it.
I love ramen and I am picky with it. I've been eating here and there. I got favorite spots in San Jose, Elk Grove, Auburn and Reno, NV. Ramen 101 hits a good couple of checks for me. Serving is fast (it is essential). They got the broth/egg/bamboo shoots right. As I am not a big eater, their serving size was just right for my belly. Pricing is about the same if you want Japanese ramen that's somehow close to what is in Japan. Honestly if you take into account how Japanese ramen is made, you'll realize it's hard work especially broth and chasu. I have tried making it and I'd rather buy and enjoy eating (this is just me sooooo up to you). 4 stars because at least I don't have to sit around moping if I cannot drive to my fave spots when I am craving.F.Y.I. Space and sitting is limited (setting is common Japanese style) Savor and eat, and try not to sit around for like...2hrs.. that's just ?
This was my 2nd visit. I am giving an average rating because I know the food can be better than what I experienced today. On my first visit, I had a delicious bowl of charsu ramen and an order of Spam misubi which was also good. This time around, I tried the Hawaiian BBQ Mix Plate, Kaki fries (fried oysters) and Spam misubi. The oysters were tasty and served hot with a siracha mayo dipping sauce. Though the BBQ plate and misubi had good flavor, the rice was not cooked well. When rice is a crucial part of a dish, it needs to be cooked properly otherwise the dish is a disaster. I was very disappointed in my meal, and so was my dad as he had the Hawaiian BBQ beef plate. According to my mom, the seafood ramen was good. Please get the rice right next time!
Great food, Great Space, Nice People. I’m excited to try different things on their menu.
Ive been there two times. Both time the ramen was not soft, broth is just warm, there wasn’t enough broth to cover my noodles. The amount was smaller than expected for the price. I ordered a soda and paid a total of $19.xx. No one came to refill my soda. The atmosphere was just blah
