Dohatsuten

I came at 6:30pm on a Wednesday and was sat down immediately. The service was very quick , bringing water to the table and taking our orders without having to wait too long. It's a very cozy establishment, feels like you're eating in someone's house. The karaage came out first and was THE BEST karaage I've had outside of Japan. Huge portions, lightly coated and perfectly fried. The chicken itself was flavorful and moist, I ended up asking for more mayo to dip because there can never be enough mayo. When the ramen came, I was also amazed at how large the bowl was...it could've fed two people easily! There were three types of pork in the ramen: sliced pork, ground pork and chunks of pork. The one aspect that I wasn't a big fan of is that there was a variety of boiled veggies, which I found a bit odd. The seasoned egg was good, looking back I would've added an additional egg. The broth was good, slightly spicy but it wasn't the usual tonkotsu broth that you find in Japan. The karaage was a 10/10, ramen 7/10.

I've been here over 5 times within the past few years. It's not the best ramen I've had, but it does fulfill the ramen craving. The meat in the ramen and rice bowls tends to be dry almost every time I come, which is the main reason for my rating.My most recent time I got the chashu & takana on the cast iron skillet which had good crispy rice but the chashu was dry and stringy.I usually do the Asahi's chashu ramen with tonkotsu broth, but once I went with the taro pork ramen with tonkotsu broth since I wanted more fatty meat. It was pretty good and the noodles had an eggy taste which I liked. Meat is quite fatty if you're into it, and the non-fatty lean pieces were pretty tough to chew. Couldn't chew through some of the lean parts. Their chicken karaage is amazing though! I love the texture and batter. Pieces are huge too. We also tried the sweet soy-glazed tofu once, but found that we like their agedashi tofu more. They also forgot our half eggs in the ramen another time, but they gave us extra whole boiled eggs to take home when we mentioned it which was very kind of them!It also tends to get really stuffy and smoky inside. Parking lot is small and can be hard to come in/out when crowded.

Fast and friendly serviceFamily friendly environment Food was tasty and well priced for portion. The Dohatsuten Don was garlicky, spicy and delicious.

Really quick in and out ramen restaurant. I got the Dohatsuten Ramen and it was really delicious. The broth was very flavorful, not too salty and not too thick. I also really enjoyed the texture of the noodles. I left full, but not too full. The perfect amount for one serving. The only reason I gave it a 4 star was because it is exactly what I'd expect for the price, around $18 with tips and tax. If it was $15 or less on the menu, it would be a steal.

I always get the Dohatsuten Ramen with Tonkotsu Pork broth. Super good! There's not much seating inside, so I'd recommend takeout if you're in a rush.

This is my go-to ramen spot in the area. I recently took my team here for lunch, including a couple of co-workers who haven't had ramen before. It was no surprise that they loved it! Everyone ordered a different one, but I always go for the pork w/ tonkutsu (sp?). The flavors are great, and work so well together. The broth... We also ordered some apps to share. The karage is crispy and light, and the chicken is perfectly cooked. The spicy edamame hit the spot, and the calamari is a favorite of a few folx on the team. We chose to sit outside on the picnic benches, where folx could grab some shade or sun, depending on their mood. The road is right there, but you don't even notice it while you're eating.The service is good, not great. They tend to run a bit more than they need to when they are busy and probably could learn something about treating the whole party as one table, and even treating their section as one table so they don't run back and forth for separate asks.

The menu looked good and the pictures looked good so we decided to give it a try. We ordered the beef tongue for appetizer. I wish they cooked it maybe 30 seconds less because when tongue is overcooked it can be a bit chewy. Didn't care for the lemon or the onions but the dipping sauce was good. The ramen took quite a while to come out. The noodles were under cooked and were similar to the ones you'd get in instant noodle or reminded me of wonton egg noodles. Wasn't horrible but wasn't my favorite. I was surprised and not a fan of the large amount of cabbage and carrots they put in their ramen. Unusual and I ended up picking out a lot of it because eating it every bite was a bit much. We got one spicy miso but the broth tasted more like tan tan/peanut, we also tried the spicy seafood ramen special. I preferred that one more as it had a generous amount of clams, shrimp, and calamari. I'm not sure what chunk of something I ate but it was possibly butter. When we were still eating, the worker told us to pay the bill because it was "closing time". We were so close to being done and it wasn't closed yet so I didn't appreciate her rushing us like that. Would I come back? Probably not. But they do have a lot of options on the menu for people who enjoy other things.

A giant bowl of ramen but not the best. Overall it's a lot of food, but not a lot of cohesive flavors. A very affordable spot if you are craving ramen. The atmosphere was very nice and the service was also very good!

Really great service! Everything we ordered was so good! The place felt warm and cozy and evening was so clean!

Food is good! Service is fast even for a lunch hour ! I recommend this business. Btw parking is small but you can park in front of the apartment complex facing the street.
