Celebrated brother in laws birthday today over Ramen. Seriously good ramen with homemade noodles and scratch made broths. Appetizers were equally delicious. Our table tasted half the menu and everything was delicious. Service was awesome! Brother in law got a free birthday dessert and t-shirt. Come to Konfucious Eats! read more

Went here for lunch on a Wednesday. Sat at the bar which is always the best way to check out the scene. Staff was friendly and welcoming and we had a drink in our hands within minutes. I had a Sapporo and my wife an excellent Junmai daijinjo sake. Had the chicken karage for an appetizer that was light and crispy. Definitely order again. We both had the bulgogi miso ramen and thought it was a great fusion. The beef was tender and the egg was done perfectly with an excellent marinated flavor. Kimchi added crunch and spice with a nice kick. The spice bomb is definitely recommended for the heat lovers and really works with the whole bowl. Noodles were made on site which cannot be underestimated and had the right bounce and texture. We'll be back for sure. read more

I've never been here before but I heard it was good and the pics of the food looked good as well. I decided to have my bday dinner with my family here and I'm very happy we did. The service was above and beyond they even made my daughter cheater chop sticks. The appetizers were good we had the gyoza and the octopus balls my daughter loved the octopus lol all of the main dishes we had were fantastic my family and I will be eating here again and highly recommend you give it a try too. The restaurant was nice inside great decor and a comfortable atmosphere. read more

Amazing... Tasty ... fresh ... delicious. One our new "go-to" restaurants - whether we eat there or have it delivered. Ramen noodles and miso all made in house. Every bite has an amazing flavor that seems even better than the first. Small restaurant, good service, not a fast food restaurant so service is relaxed - but whatever we order - it is worth the wait. read more

The ramen is quite expensive for what you get. I paid almost $60 for 2 ramen, 1 karaage, and an egg sandwich. The broth itself isn't as flavorful as the ramen I've tried in the Silicon Valley. The karaage was super salty and the chicken tasted old. The soup broth was on the salty side but no flavor. The egg in the ramen was over cooked and it wasn't runny. I had high hopes for the first ramen place in Modesto but not sure if I'd be back. I would drive to San Jose for good ramen. read more

This place I give it a 5/10 overall it isn't horrible but every time I order online or through another app the food is always so mid/ not even worth the money. It's truly disappointing, I don't know if ramen 101 is authentic but it's definitely better read more

Honestly I wanted to really like this place but it wasn't impressing. First I've never spent $16 on ramen but I was willing to spend the money for the "homemade" noodles and ingredients and what not. Whenever I've had ramen at other restaurants in the past I have never finished the whole bowl in 1 sitting because it's always way too much food for me. We got the takeout ramen bowls and it didn't look like much food. After eating the whole bowl of ramen I was actually still a little hungry afterward so I feel like I was a little ripped off for the amount of money I spent. The only thing in the bowl that left really a positive impression was the meat, it was delicious. I've made ramen at home several times so I feel like what I've made at home was just as good if not better than the ramen from here. I had one of their ramen bowls on opening night so I am thinking they can and will get better over time though! read more

Yummy, yummy and yummy! Love this place. Food is delicious and good price point. Friendly service. Totally recommend!

Sorry to have to bash a new local spot so I'll just say this was a one time try I won't be returning.

Finally a ramen place in Modesto! I got the chance to go inside and order some take-out. Was going to get Ramen but when I read what's in the rice bowl that won me over. I got the rice bowl with Karaage chicken, grilled or smoked tofu, kimchi, sprouts, etc. Oh yeah plus a side order of Gyoza the bowl was amazingly delicious I need more kimchi in my life. Chicken was awesome. read more

Started out being "totally" ( our server's favorite word) underwhelmed which quickly turned into being completely disappointed. The Tori Paitan was bland, but the siracha that I added was excellent. Don't eat the egg it comes with. I'm not sure what is the item inside the brown egg. The pork in the Pork Katsu rice bowl taste eerily like chicken. It is sad when you start eating your wife's rice bowl instead of your order. Peach sando was a disaster. The Wife scraped off the whipped cream after refusing to eat the bread. Beware: They over charge and their menu prices are deceiving. Menu Gyoza says $6, but on the bill they charge $6.21. The Paitan menu says $15, but the bill charged dine in as $15.53. Pork Katsu rice bowl menu says $10, we were charged $10.35. Peach Fruit Sando menu is $6, but they charged $6.21 dine in. And then they charge tax on top of the inflated prices. Order on line and they charge 7.785% sales tax, but dine in they charge 7.88%. Only 2 servers for 7 tables and the service was slow. There are SO many other ramin/noodle restaurants in town that we won't be back. read more

Honestly me and my fiancé wanted to love this place we have been waiting months to try this place out but when we finally get the chance to eat here the food was bland and worse off the portion sizes were so small that we were still starving after we finished. Almost 50 dollars and months of waiting for this made me mad read more

Modesto is SO lucky to have a REAL, AUTHENTIC ramen house! Service was excellent. The kimchi, karrage, and Shoyu Ramen were PERFECT! The ramen noodles are made fresh and the texture really sets this place apart. Highly recommend this place and will be making it back regularly! Thanks to the owner, Ernie, for sharing your culture and prized family recipes with our community! read more

One of the best bowls of a ramen I have in a long tine if ever. Already planning my next visit.

I've had the Ramen Kits prior to this opening and they were delicious when I prepared it, but OMG! The take-out was out of this world!!!! It doesn't even compare! I can't wait till I can experience it dining in! read more

Definitely would not return. We tried the Karage chicken appetizer. It was over cooked and about to burn. We tried the Pork Cutlet Sando sandwich. It had a lot of Mayo and over all lacked flavor. Meat was a bit tough and fatty in some parts. The bread is just like Texas toast, and still had some crust on it, and was a bit stale.We tried 1 Ramen Bowl and it was EXTREMELY SALTY. It tasted like chicken broth with added Soy sauce. That's it, no other flavor. Noodles were a bit tough. You can tell all they did to the pork Chasu was put a blow torch to it, no flavor.We also had the Chicken curry. The rice was stale on the side yet overcooked and mushy under the sauce. Curry sauce was very sweet and carrot bits over cooked. They used the same chicken pieces from the karage appetizer. Unfortunately it was sadly an unpleasant meal over all, we had high hopes for this place. I'm not a big fan of Ramen 101, but their Ramen is definitely a step up from this location. I think if they focus on their food quality they can make it. read more

Delicious ramen!! And their house made kimchi, to die for. Will be coming back for sure. Service was excellent.

I love the food and ambiance. The ramen and garlic edamame are so tasty! They have veggie options

The best ramen in town! Ernie is great, so are the employees! Thank you guys for being great and the best!

I LOVEEE how polite our waitress was and the food is delicious! The atmosphere is so nice and that I will definitely be coming back.

I've had Ernie's ramen from the very beginning back in the ramen kit days before Konfucious Eats was a ramen shop. I've had all of the different broths and while they are all delicious, the Garlic Shoyu is my favorite. Perfect for this garlic lover. Today I had the Garlic Shoyu and the deluxe egg sando. The broth was balanced and flavorful and the homemade noodles and egg were perfectly cooked and delicious. Ernie's passion for cooking and ramen sings in the quality of his work. I've never had a bad thing that Ernie and Konfucious Eats has put out. Congrats on the opening and will be coming back many more times! read more

This place has the best bulgogi in the area. Love the staff and manager. Definitely a hometown feel when you eat here. I recommend getting the Gyoza for an appetizer it's fire. read more

The handmade potstickers, the spicy edamame, and finally the ramen all tasted so delicious and flavorful I didn't even realize how full I was until after my bowl was empty. The service is also amazing. They are so kind there. I will definitely be going back, especially since the menu changes, which means I get to try something new each time. read more

Delicious homemade ramen from a local passionate chef. I personally enjoyed the garlic ramen, gyoza and the spicy edamame. The broth was rich and flavourful. The sauce complimented the gyoza beautifully. You can taste the freshness in these ingredients, and I definitely wish I had more after I finished! Although it has its opening kinks, such as the wait time, it's a new ramen shop so give it a go! read more

Got the spicy miso soup with a friend the other day. It was top knotty. The waitress was also really chill and friendly. Good service. The atmosphere was super chill. Nice ambiance with the anime theme. read more

Okay i am blown away today so had to review! What an amazing gem of a restaurant for Modesto! We are so lucky to have a place like this! I have been eating the ramen here since the opened and it is by far the best in town with the house made noodles and everything from scratch. I switched it up to the Korean bowls today. The Bulgagi Beef Bowl & Pork Belly bowl were both amazing but what really blew my mind is the Chicken Karaage Sando. I have never had anything like that OMG! So simple but everything was so perfect together. The soft white milk bread, simple slaw, mayo and I want to say a little Togarashi. The perfectly crisp fried chicken. I have a feeling I am going to be eating these A LOT! You can never go wrong with the food here there is nothing even just okay on this menu. It all is amazing!!!! The servers are always amazing as well! Great job!!! read more

Straight to the point service paired with fantastic ramen. I usually order my ramen to go and thankfully the drive home isn't long enough for my broth to cool, which taste best when hot. read more

Wow this place is a gem. My wife & I always find a ramen place where ever we travel NYC,LA,Hawaii & Bay Area this place is the best ramen place we've been to! read more

Just found this gem. Serves Korean and Japanese food. Tried their Bulgogi Ramen Bowl. DELICIOUS! So tasty and filling. Worth the money. Owner is very nice, friendly and personable. I will definitely be going here again. Best ramen I've ever had. You MUST try it for yourself. read more

This place was soooo good! Definitely impressed by the flavor in the food. We got the spicy garlic edamame appetizer, kimchi ramen and miso ramen. My kimchi ramen came with tofu and my dad ordered pork belly with his miso ramen. My son had the gyoza and we were all very impressed. It was our first time having legit ramen from a restaurant and we will definitely be back! Everything had just the right amount of spices and flavor. The service was awesome too. Our waitress was very kind and checked on us often. I highly suggest trying this place out. read more

Was recommended to try this place as we haven't found a ramen spot yet that really made us come back to try more of the menu. We had our rice bowls delivered and it was very timely and the food was warm and very delicious. Good portions, flavor and the takoyaki was really good as well. read more

This is our new favorite local restaurant! Being a vegan, there aren't too many options in Modesto and having moved from a large city, that is one of the things that I was missing. The vegan ramen is out of this world amazing. The homemade noodles are delicious and the garlic edamame is the perfect appetizer. We will always keep coming back because of only is the food great but the service is too. We love the atmosphere and the food. So so good! read more

Amazing food and came out fast! Great service! We will definitely be back, and will be our go to ramen spot, best in town!
