No longer going to order after a horrible bowl of ramen that I got delivered. Thin overcooked pork chashu.., missing an additional egg that I paid for. Noodles tasting gummy. This used to be our favorite. Ashamed to say I spent nearly $30 getting one bowl of ramen delivered for my kids to share while they were home sick. How disappointing they wouldn't quality control as online orders are paying more than in restaurant.

Came in about 7pm on a Friday night. I haven't been here in years but I'm pretty sure I remember it was a sit down/waiter situation before? Idk but nothing wrong with what they have now. As soon as I walked in, I saw the elders cooking in the back. It was then I knew, the food was about to be bomb AF.You walk up to the register and there's a table at the register with the ramen menu and up I top is the appetizer and rice bowl menu. My husband and I immediately wanted the black Garlic ramen. We also got some apps. Black Garlic ramen: My husband got the medium and I got mild. 10/10 it was everything! 3 slices of pork, 1 egg and whole bunch of roasted garlic. We added chili oil on the side. Gyoza: 10/10 amazing flavor inside and crisped to perfection.Lumpia's: 8/10 nothing special but I would've loved them extra crispy.The place was empty Friday night but they had constant in/out from Uber/doordash drivers. Def give this place a chance and go all the way in. The music was great and not too loud for my husband and I to talk. We'll be back soon!

We ordered the black ramen and agedashi tofu. Serving was just right but was enough to share for 2-not so hungry people.Soup tasted really good but giving four stars because they have add ons that you have to pay like mushroom and seaweed, while in other places, they are already included in the order.

I've been here consistently a few times in the past month since discovering it and highly recommend!!! I've only ever ordered the black garlic ramen but it's so good so I keep on ordering the same. No wait and service is good and quick. I'm a big foodie and very picky with where I eat. I'm surprised at the quality of the ramen of this little place. The only recommendation to the business is not to overcook the noodles since a slightly chewy texture is the goal but broth and meat are 10/10!

Got the black garlic ramen to go. It was packaged nicely and was the perfect dinner for a cold night. The broth was tasty and the garlic pieces were yummy!

I visit Ramen 101 frequently, and it consistently delivers a great experience. While it's not an upscale or fancy spot, it's perfect for casual dining. The food is consistently excellent, and the staff is always friendly and welcoming. One of the best things about this place is the variety of broth options--they offer veggie or chicken and pork, which is a rare find compared to other ramen spots that typically have just one. Since I don't eat pork, I always go for the veggie-based chicken ramen, and it's delicious every time. Their chicken karaage is also a fantastic side to pair with the ramen. If you're in the area and looking for a satisfying meal, I highly recommend checking this place out!

Ok. So this review is going to be a little schizophrenic. I actually annoyed the ramen here. I think it was tasty and fresh. The Ramen has a lot of good toppings/ingredients including bamboo shoots, bean sprouts and a generous amount of green onions. My husband, however, did not enjoy the food. He is a ramen snob, and he rightfully pointed out that the noodles were overcooked. They should have a bouncier or al dente texture. He also found the miso broth to be very light in flavor. We both liked the Chicken Karaage. The service was efficient, if a little rushed. The place has a nice dinning area, that seem spacious in spite of the smaller size of the restaurant. Overall, I would recommend this spot, but Ramen aficionados have now been warned.

Let me first start by saying that I'm already not the hugest ramen fan (the broth is generally too heavy for me!) or a ramen snob whatsoever, but will eat it whenever others want to. However, I generally get the same exact item wherever I go, so I'd say I have a pretty long list of places to compare my bowl of ramen to.I came on a rainy day with three other friends & we all ordered different items -- I the Black Garlic Ramen + the Chashu bowl. From appearances, the price point (around $16 for the ramen?) didn't seem crazy since it was comparable to other places that I have been to. You are able to choose the spiciness and I believe they also provide extra hot chili oil / powder upon request! This is an order and pay before choosing a place to sit down kind of place -- but they do bring you your food. There is a bathroom for customers + the workers are very nice as well!I didn't take any photos, but the ramen looked good, until I dug in. The noodles are akin to Chinese Fast Food Chow/Lo mein and had zero bite to them while the soup (which I ordered Spicy) had no flavor whatsoever. My partner and I tried each others soups (he got Tonkatsu/Mild spice) but they tasted exactly the same. The egg was probably the best part because it was salty -- albeit a little overcooked!I wouldn't even really say the chashu bowl was much better as for the price point ($8.95?) you're essentially paying for a gigantic bowl of rice with tiny pieces of pork and corn.

The current rating as of writing this review is 3.7 stars. I'd agree with that; the prices are pretty high and the portions are small. The service is fine and the restaurant has a decent vibe, but the food is bland and lacking in taste.I paid $16, $17.79 with taxes for a black garlic ramen. The food came out fast. Immediately I went to try the noodles, and I was so disappointed I immediately went to write this review. The noodles are so over cooked they taste like soggy shin ramen noodles left in soup for 30 minutes. In other words, they're bland and have zero taste and texture. A good soup can easily be ruined by bad noodles and this was unfortunately what happened for me. The cha siu isn't two bad, but it's only 2 pieces. It tastes musty. The tea egg is over cooked and tastes very simply marinated. The broth has zero flavor. It tastes like I added soy sauce to water and boiled it and called it a day. There's too much garlic so it doesn't even taste salty, it tastes weirdly bland. Overall this place would be fine if you were really hungry and craving ramen. The place that's close to here (Aoi Terriyaki Ramen) tastes much better and offers better portions. I will not be coming back here again. What made this absolute for me was the horrible noodles. Someone pointed out that their noodles were bad already, and I took the risk and was disappointed as they were. Woe is me. EDIT: I talked to the server and she gave me another set of noodles free of charge. The flavor improved. I am thankful.
