Ramen Station

Food: 4.5Ramen was tasty and takoyaki was amazing. Seriously, get the takoyaki--crispy, not too much sauce, and a good sprinkle of bonito flakes. Broth is a tad salty and portions could be bigger. Service: 5Very polite and quick with food.Ambiance: 4Nothing super out of the ordinary, but the restaurant is cute and has nice lighting.

The tako yaki was amazing. So yummy. Only downside was that it only had 4 pieces We were quite disappointed by the beef don and the ramen. While the beef itself was flavorful and enjoyable, the egg was too overcooked and kind of ruined the dish. The ramen content was fine, but the broth lacked flavor and richness. There were also only 2 pieces of meat in the ramen which was disappointing. Overall it was okay, nothing was wrong with the service at all, we were just expecting a little more from the food itself.

got a Spicy Shoyu ramen and took out pork - they offered to sub chicken and I went for it! The chicken was great, small pieces well fried. I liked the shoyu broth as well, although the spice wasn't as strong as I would've liked. The noodles itself were well cooked and the egg and fish cake was great. I would've elected for a bit more veggies but overall decent bowl of ramen. Not too many options in Madison but this was a good place to go! Large portion for a reasonable price!

On my quest to discover the best ramen in Madison, 1 ventured to the highly acclaimed @ramenstation1124 with high hopes. Regrettably, my experience fell short of expectations. Despite the server's recommendation of the Tonkotsu Ramen - featuring egg noodles in a rich pork broth with tender braised pork, soft boiled egg, scallion, beans, sprouts, seaweed, fish cake, and bamboo shoots - the dish arrived lukewarm with a flavorless broth and bland pork. The gyoza and lamb skewer appetizers were the only highlights of the meal.Disappointingly, when expressing my dissatisfaction to the server, I received no offer for an alternative dish or opportunity for feedback; instead, I was promptly presented with the bill. While I settled the tab and left a tip, I won't be returning. Beyond the lackluster meal, the rushed service, including premature cleaning despite the restaurant's 9 p.m. closing time, detracted from the overall experience.

Came to Ramen Station to continue to sample Madison's ramen joints. We came early, before a concert and were the only ones there although another group came in shortly thereafter. TBH, the decor is a bit dingy and run down with some worn-out chair cushions and stains on the cushions in the wall banquet. Service was fairly efficient but lacked any friendliness. We started with the Gyoza and it was ok not great, a bit soggy. I tasted the Lady's miso soup and the broth seemed a bit funky. I had the Tonkotsu ramen as my main. Unfortunately it was a mixed bag. The broth looked good with a creamy color, but was thin and watery and had little flavor. The noodles also were very bland. The toppings were alright: corn, scallions, bamboo shoots, nori, sprouts, fish cake and half a soft boiled egg. Unfortunately the nori was completely soggy and disintegrated. The soft boiled egg was legit, tasty. The chashu was pretty good. Small pieces but braised and with a very nice flavor and although they were small there were about half a dozen of them. So a quite mixed bag of ramen with some highs and lows. The lady had the stir fried veg and liked them. Mixed experience here. Don't see any reason to return.

Incredible place, even better than the ones in Tokyo or Kyoto. Their Tonkatsu is carefully boiled in broth and the owner is so knowledgeable and nice. He is patient and gave us the process of how to make the broth which took a lot of time and his consideration. Thank you and thank you for such a delicious food.Soup base is out of the world! Ambience is incredible too, cool air and ramen taste even better.

It feels like they are cutting corners. The tonkotsu is really thin and the noodles get soggy whiostill in your bowl.

The tonkotsu ramen came generously topped with the usual suspects: chashu, bean sprouts, fish cake, ramen egg, etc. unfortunately the ramen broth was thin, bland and flavorless. It lacked almost any flavor, much less the creaminess and rich umami that tonkotsu should have. I was able to jazz it up with some bullion at home, but it was a thoroughly underwhelming ramen experienceOn the plus side they had fast service and convenient online ordering.

Always excellent food. We love both dine in and takeout. Our favorite is picky to Katsura ramen! Our daughter loves the beef skewers

The service is very slow. When I needed to ask questions about my order our waitress had a language barrier. The customer service wasn't the best. Whenever I'm looking for staff there's no one to be found. Food was okay, I can't complain, it's definitely eye candy but it's difficult to enjoy when the waitstaff rarely checks in on anyone. The ambiance ofc is very beautiful. I just think they should have more staff to make the experience better.
