Food is delicious. Many options to choose from; from ramen to dim sum, pork buns, and sautéed dishes. I like that it's a relaxed atmosphere and no one is rushing you to leave. On a different note, it would be great to add a hook to the bathroom door so people can hang their belongings, add a diaper changing station, and a lil windex goes a long way on mirrors.

Pretty good! I got ramen katsu, a mixed BBQ plate and an order if shumai. All were excellent.The katsu ramen was tasty. And it has a creamy soup. They said is just from cooking it down. It was obvious they made it from scratch.The BBQ plate was good but I was surprised that the veg were cooked perfectly. I mean dead on so for once instead. my veg. My mom will be happy.Finally, I got shumai and it was outstanding. I didn't even put soy sauce on it. It was perfect the way it was. The decor is nice and the place is clean so this is probably all that you want to know.

Short rib had been calling my name all day long. So I checked Yelp for Hawaiian BBQ places between my office and my hotel. Ramen 101 was at the top of the list and had such pretty food pictures.When I entered, the restaurant was not very busy. As I browsed the menu, I realized that I was going to have a tough choice. I knew I wanted short rib, but I started thinking that the short rib would be lonely on the table. For this reason, I ordered the whole grilled squid to keep my short rib company. Both dishes were made to order and they tasted great. Quantity-wise, the portions were generous and I came nowhere near finishing either plate. My only gripe had to do with the amount of fat on the short rib. Maybe the cow should have hit tbt gym. Regardless, I had to cut around quite a bit.During my meal, the dining room was mostly empty; however, there was a steady stream of pick-up orders.Overall, I liked this place and definitely want to go back to try more items on the menu!

I haven't enjoyed any ramen bowls for about 1.5 years. As I'm under the weather mostly due to these cold winters of dropping temps and atmospheric rivers overhead pouring river drops, I am left with a season full of coughs. So I'm sticking to hot soups, broths and stews as much as possible. My neighbor was kind enough to pick up Tonkotsu Ramen while driving through Milpitas. Although I knew it would take time to reach me, the broth was still warm, but I admit I love hot foods to be enjoyed hot, so I simmered before pouring broth over the black bowl containing perfectly blanched yellow ramen noodles, black mushroom caps, a fish cake, fresh mung/soy bean sprouts, and 2 small and thin pork tonkotsu. (But I don't recall seeing or tasting bamboo shoots) The broth came in a seperate plastic bowl with a tan color and was quite opaque in appearance and viscous to the tongue. In addition, the broth had a super thin layer of fat (oil) floating on the top (which personally I would have wanted more fat bc it adds flavor imho). This order was requested in the medium spice level and it was a perfect "medium spice" as it was more on the milder side of a "medium spice" range.In addition, I had one spam musubi which was not good (Order comes in a pair) It simply had way too much rice for the size of the spam. If the spam was thicker, then maybe they can use a thick layer of rice. It looked out of proportion. In addition, rice was dry tasting and spam appeared and looked dry, that the spam had a curve to it. In todays order, the spam masubi was a fail.

The ramen was good especially the noodles. It's a lot more than how much I can eat. I think I would prefer to take it home next time because the broth is too salty for my taste (not good for my kidneys) and requesting hot water to dilute it sounds like an abomination to think and even request it inside the restaurant. Customer service was good; they were polite and helpful. Will come back again. :)

** Uber Eats / Take-Out Review **When I was scrolling through my app, Ramen 101 caught my interest as I was craving some Ramen but I was surprised to find that they also have Hawaiian BBQ? Definitely thought this was weird as specializing in two different things usually doesn't end up too good but to my surprise....it was excellent!Really glad I got to try out this place as now I have a new place to order Hawaiian food and Ramen at once.[[ Food ]]For my first time I tried:1.) Black Garlic Ramen (Mild Spicy)2.) Hawaiian BBQ MixAs this is a store with multiple chains/locations, I thought the Ramen was actually pretty decent. The broth was relatively thick and had good flavor. The best part of the Ramen was the noodles. Good thickness and good texture compared to some other places with soggy noodles. Pretty surprised how decent this was. Volume was decent and had a lot of things inside the bowl. For the Hawaiian BBQ Mix, I also thought they knocked it out of the park. Each one of the meats (Chicken, Beef, and Short Ribs) were juicy and tender and not overcooked. It's rare that all 3 of the meats were cooked well at an establishment and I quickly devoured the plate. Volume again was decent for this dish as there were plenty of everything.

I ordered the Black Garlic Ramen and it was fairly tasty. Great broth flavor, presentation, and portion size. The medium spicy was perfect for me that provided the right flavor. I added and extra egg for additional protein but unfortunately the eggs were cold inside. I wasn't a big fan of the spirits in the ramen but everything was fairly good. I would have made this a 4 star review but the egg was cold inside so I gave this a 3. I would order from here again though.

They're quick and accommodating. I would definitely come back again. It seems empty inside but I think the service is quick and ppl eat and leave. Plenty of seating inside, the cashier is really nice. Food was good, katsu is not oily at all and perfectly crispy.

Please stay cautious from this restaurant. I had a really disappointing experience at this restaurant. I ordered a chicken ramen and a chicken katsu. The ramen came out quickly, but the katsu took a while. Turns out, the server had taken it to the wrong table, and by the time they realized, the other table had already taken bites from it. Instead of remaking the dish, they still served that same katsu to us. We only found out because the other table threatened to tell us themselves if the staff wouldn't.That is completely unacceptable and honestly disgusting. It ruined my entire appetite. They refunded us for the katsu and brought out a new one, but by that time, we had already eaten a good amount from the first katsu dish before realizing what happened, so the whole experience just felt ruined. Mistakes happen, but serving food that another table already ate from is beyond careless. I'd stay cautious eating here, who knows what else they do behind the scenes?
