Ramen 101

Food was good! Was clean to eat, and nice service. Nice spot to grab food in Emeryville.

Order at counter, brought order to us. Interior kind of cluttered, with packages of drinks and stuff piled in one corner. Tables were clean.Food came out pretty quickly. Gyozas were really crispy and tasty in the teriyaki sauce. I had the BBQ short ribs, which were tender but could use more seasoning, so they were treated with different sauces, which were a big help. Veggies were bland but at least not mushy, so they also benefitted from some sauce. Heather D. had the BBQ chicken, which was grilled well, but also needed sauce to make it shine. We'll be back soon to try the ramen. I mean, it's in the name and all, so...

I was in the mood for Hawaiian BBQ so finally made way to Ramen 101. The space is clean with indoor seating available. Order at the counter and they bring the food when it is ready. I went for the BBQ and was disappointed by the lack of BBQ flavor on the delivered dish. I ordered chicken and although it was grilled nicely, very tender and there was tons of it, I didn't want to have to add a packet of sauce. Also the limp and unseasoned cabbage and broccoli were an issue for me. That said, regardless of the BBQ meal you order you are going to get a lot of meat, so if that is your thing, this is your place. All that being said, the goyzas we started with were terrific. They came out literally piping hot and perfectly crispy with a luscious filling although they were served on 10 strings of lettuce (see picture). I intend to come back and check out the ramen since that may be more in line with their sweet spot. And thank you for the self serve, cold, lemon water - very nice touch.

We tried Ramen 101 for lunch since our normal ramen spot was closed. I'm giving them 2 stars because my broth & noodles tasted good. BUT...I ordered the black garlic pork ramen. The pros: good flavor on the broth Noodles were not soggyEgg was decent (not perfect but good enough)The cons: the pork was awful - mine was over cooked & full of fat. So disappointing One co-worker ordered the seafood ramen & said it was bland and not good. My other 2 co-workers ordered Hawaiian BBQ plates and none of them finished their plates saying it was horrible. So next time I request ramen for lunch and our normal spot is closed we'll choose something else.

Came here to try their Veggie Ramen. Ramen itself was ok. There are other best places for veggie ramen but would come back to try other ramen as menu looks good.Place has lot of parking available and once we come inside, we have to order and then pick a seat.

I liked the menu selection. They have lumpia, spam musubi, short ribs, ramen, rice bowls. The hardest thing was rehung to decide what i wanted. I saw many people today order the black garlic ramen so I had to try it!I must say it had great flavor, everything inside tasted really good i asked for a mild spice level it wasn't spicy at all probably should have said medium for a better kick. After i was done eating... I got a to go bowl and still had it filled to the top. I also noticed a customer order a mini plate. Those mini plates aren't that mini. You most certainly get a bang for your buck. Now for my lunch break, i think this will be my new spotAlso another thing I really love is the customer service. The lady taking orders was very kind, soft spoken, patient; and as soon as a table left and there were no customers I saw her clean up quickly. Great job !!

McDonald's of noodle spots. The most mediocre ramen I've ever had that didn't have the word "Top" before it. Noodles were meh, broth was meh.

We were driving around town looking for a place to eat and saw this place and decided to give it a try. The outside looked very dirty and food laying outside, not the best location. Inside looked nice and clean and very appealing and caught our attention. Everything on yelp looked really good and the food looked delicious!! I felt like the food was over priced especially when the food wasn't the best. The food had to flavorful and felt like it was missing that kick to stand out from other restaurants. The Ramon soup was not the best, I also didn't like how they only gave three of our food orders in a fancy bowl and the other two in a takeout plastic containers when we told them we were eating in. I was not fully satisfied with the food. Once I had finished my food I still felt the need to eat more food due to the fact of not being satisfied with my food.Overall I feel like it was overpriced and not worth the try to be honest. I am not planning to come back to Ramon 101!

I leave a lot of 5 star reviews and that's because I truly only leave feedback if it's an excellent experience. My partner and I live nearby and have seen this place many times. Usually we already have other plans so we've never gone in, but we decided to try it last weekend. It will now probably be our favorite spot around here Food: we got the chicken katsu, crab rangoons, lumpia, and the miso ramen. All but the rangoons were a 5/5 for us. The rangoons had more cream cheese than we were expecting, but they were still good. The standard katsu bowl came with enough food that I had 2 full plates of leftovers (which heated up well). My partner also said that the ramen had enough for at least two meals, but he was hungry so he ate basically the whole thingService: the cashier was very kind to us and checked in again after we got our food. Ambiance: everyone there seemed to be very content with their food. It was generally quiet at the tables but there were a lot of pick up orders, so they get lots of customers. It was also clean, which in this strip mall is impressiveWe will be back!

Went here yesterday will never return, the man taking orders at the front desk was very rude to me. I asked how he was doing and he told me fine until I walked in, I don't know him and never met him before . And it's in my nature to ask people how they are as a courtesy. I didn't do anything to him for that response, either he having a horrible day or he's biased against certain people or he doesn't like his job. Food was subpar and not worth the hassle of bad treatment and bad food, I wouldn't feed this to my pet. I'd avoid at all cost, if you received better treatment and food must be different workers.To many other local restaurants with good and great food, moving right along.
