Food is good, I can not take that away. The Ramen is super greasy when you try and reheat tho. Anywayz my wife and I went there last night, and the gentleman cashier charged us $4 additional for substituting garlic sauce for seafood sauce. I told the guy that NONE of the ladies have ever charged us for that. He shrugged his shoulders and said sorry with a smile. Welll tha tha tha that's all folks, we will not be back. Customer service or appreciation was not there for repeat customers. $40 is a whole lot for two bowls of soup(ramen) in this economy! read more

Update: 9/2/2022 Island White Fish - 1.5/5 Today, I ordered the fried Island white fish lunch plate for lunch. The order was a total fail. As you can see from my previous reviews of this Ramen 101 in Antioch, my rating were very good. I look for consistency in quality and meal preparation. I have given Ramen 101 a good rating until today. I was saddened with the Island Fried White fish order today. The White fish did not come with the tartar sauce as described on the menu. A different red sauce was substituted for some odd reason. The sauce did not match the over fried dry Island white fish. You can see from my posted pics of the fried Island White fish was over fried and most likely left in the frier too long, OR it was a previous Island White fish order that was refried and sold, hence the over fried texture. The fish fillets were very thin and when biting into the breading, you could hardly taste any fish. You taste mostly the hard over fried breading (see pic 3). I could not finish this meal. I only ate at most 20% of this selection. I rarely give 1/5 reviews, but there is no excuse for the poor quality and preparation of the ISland White Fish meal. read more

Have been hearing about Ramen 101 from my friend who loves to go to the one in San Leandro & was pleasantly surprised to see one out here. We ordered the Hawaiian plates on phone for pick up, was glad to see outdoor seating available due to Covid times & with our CA fires going on, it was too Smokey & unsafe to eat outdoors right now. BF ordered the BBQ plate, I got the beef bowl & we shared a spam Musubi. Portions are decent. We both commented that it was A lot of rice compared to the main dish. The Mac salad was a bit less on his combo. Even the spam Musubi was overflowing with rice. Overall, it was ok. I can't wait to try the ramen as they are known for when it's cooler weather. read more

We ordered the Build Your Own ramen with tonkotsu broth medium spice and added chicken. Broth was very flavorful with a tolerable spiciness. I appreciate the BYO option that Ramen 101 has, as I like my ramen very basic without toppings. We also ordered the grilled squid, which was excellent. Only thing I do wish is that the chicken for the ramen was sliced breast and then grilled..However, the chicken thigh did the job and had a great flavor as well. read more

Great ramen for cold weather. Tastes like city ramen. must try it. Staff are friendly too. read more

Ramen 101 - Great ramen. Taste like city ramen. - Hawaiian Near Me - Antioch, California

Literally LOVE this ramen spot. My go-to is the "A". The tonkatsu ramen. The broth is amazing, the kikurage mushrooms are delicious and the boiled egg is perfect! The pork slices are perfect and tender! The tempura (veggie and shrimp) is delicious! Not over-breaded! What's great is that I can come here with my whole family and even those who don't want ramen have something to choose from. They have chicken katsu and other rice places (like the rice plates from L&L/Hawaiian drive inn). Everything is brought out FRESH and HOT! Other items we always get are: chicken kurage (not sure of the spelling), the grilled whole squid. All items so good! read more

Ramen 101 - Seafood ramen - tried for the first time! - Hawaiian Near Me - Antioch, California

This is a go-to place for my family. Food is ready quickly, and it's always good! Our favorites are the Hawaiian beef & teriyaki chicken!

The hawaiian bbq beef is cooked very well and has a good flavor to it. I ordered the beef plate with all rice & took out the macaroni salad. The spam musubi was rated to be very well by my sister who said it was one of the best ones she has had. My boyfriend got the tonkotsu ramen at the spiciest level and he said it was good. For him it wasn't spicy enough but for my sister it was too spicy. The worker was nice and the food was cooked very quickly, we barely had to wait. The place was very clean and the kitchen looked very clean as well. The indoor lighting and artwork was very welcoming. Sanitizer at every table was great! read more

Ramen 101 became my go-to takeout spot for a good 2 months during this pandemic. I tried their ramen, but my regular order became the unagi rice + kaki fry. The unagi don is only $10, which to me is a steal. The portion size might seem small to some, but it was perfect for me. Their fried oysters are also perfect. Incredible crunch to them, and the oyster flavor isn't lost nor was it too greasy. I tried their tonkatsu and it was decent, but my obsession was definitely because of my regular order. read more

I've been eating at this place for months now. I really, really like it! I've never had a negative experience, I've gotten exactly what I've ordered, and it's always been tasty. I've only gotten to-go orders and the service has always been great. I've tried the chicken and seafood ramens, the chicken (both grilled and katsu) plates, the ribs plate, lumpia, veggie and shrimp tempura, and gyozas. All delish! I especially like that the portions aren't small. I usually get two meals out of one! My most fave dish though, had to be the chicken ramen medium spicy! Love the mushrooms in this soup. I'm not sure about other locations but this one in Antioch/Brentwood on Lone Tree is pretty good! read more

This place was... fine. It wasn't particularly mind blowing but I didn't dislike it. If nothing else, I much prefer the Hawaiian bbq plates here over the L&L down the road near City Sports. The tonkatsu ramen was... okay. It tasted like the ramen I would find at the frozen section at Costco. That's not necessarily a bad thing, mind you. I like Costco ramen. It was just underwhelming relative to my expectations. I would rather get a big box with multiple frozen Costco ramen bowls for the same price. I would not come back here for ramen but I sure would come here for a rice plate over the local L&L. And the service was good. The workers were great and the food was brought out in a quick, efficient manner. read more

First time ordering Ramen to go. And first time trying out this restaurant. We got: 2 pork rib ramen Guoza 7pcs - pot stickers Chicken Kara-age Veggie tempura Ramen - delicious broth. Good flavor. Egg cooked to perfection. Pork rib is full of flavor and tender. Gyoza & Veggie Tempura are your classics done well. Chicken Kara-age is basically perfect and served with a Mayo like sauce. Highly recommend. Service is prompt and friendly. Looking forward to coming back. read more

Love their chicken katsu, it's a hit or miss sometimes when we ask for no veggies underneath the chicken, sometimes it's no issue sometimes they forget. They have THE best crab rangoons we've ever tried read more

Everything was AMAZING!! Already been there 3 times in one week just for their fried oysters.

Note this is during the pandemic and it is based on takeout which with Ramen can make a difference. So the Ramen really was nothing special. It was takeout, so I heard it tasted much better eating at the restaurant and getting it freshly hot. Broth was fine, I didn't like the blackened garlic and usually I do, maybe the black large pieces of garlic cloves just didn't look or taste as appetizing to me like burnt black taste. Lumpia was good. That went fast as always- should have ordered more because that went in seconds! My daughter thought her katsu dish was good. It was fine to me as I took a bite of it. Overall, it was okay. I will try it another time at the restaurant to update if any different. read more

Very good ramen with a nice casual ambiance. This is a franchise but all of their locations I've been too have been consistently delicious. Their broth is always rich with flavor. The noodles are the perfect size and texture. I wanted to try the black garlic chicken, but they mixed up my order and they gave me tonkotsu, although I was disappointed for not getting what I ordered I still thoroughly enjoyed the food. The portions for the ramen are very generous and I typically can't finish one bowl. I think they get minimal patrons eating in because the dining area had a lot of boxes of goods. Looks like they were using it as a storage area. read more

OMG!!! I just took out a piece of metal from my mouth!!! It was hiding in the macaroni salad. I am disgusted and freaked out that it caused major indigestion. This place needs to be shut down. I will be calling the health inspector. After all this I went and looked at their reviews and I read how disgusting the experience for others has been that made me feel even more nauseated. I had ordered 2 bbq chicken and chicken katsu plate. I thought I found a spot to get food when I shop at the pet store but that is a huge NOT!!! read more

Another 1 of my go to spots to grab some freshly cooked food. The pork rib ramen is very good. As well as the chicken and chase rice bowls. The combo plates are great if your a little more hungry. Appetizers are also really good like the gyzo and crab Rangoon. Ordered some party trays of Mac salad, rice, bbq chicken and short ribs. read more

That girl was rude to my wife. We walked in and I told my wife to go ahead and take the remaining one table open. After about maybe 3-5 mins, that girl literally yelled from the cashier and told my wife to stay in line and not take the table. They are ahead of you. The couple said, NO WE ARE NOT DINING IN. WE FELT EMBARRASSED. The girl could have approached my wife and said it softly and nicely. We just left and we are not going back there. We've been twice and they just lost a customer. read more

Very good and authentic Ramen house!!! You must try the ramen; it's to die for especially since you can control the spice level

Pleasantly surprised when we tasted the food here because when we tried the Ramen 101 in Concord, the tonkarsu ramen lack taste. Service : 3 out of 5 The girl who took my order for it wrong. I ordered chicken karaage but ended up with chicken teriyaki. When we got to the place, the girl at the cash register is not friendly and actually ignored us for a few minutes. Also, they have a mic for when they talk to us but they can't hear us when we talk to them so it's a bit weird. Food : 5 out of 5 The food is very good. We ordered spam masubi which has the perfect ratio of spam and rice, mild tonkarsu ramen and mild black garlic ramen which are both good but the black garlic is tastier of you want them really flavorful, chicken teriyaki they mistakenly sold is which was cooked so good because they didn't just drizzled the sauce on top but instead it looks like it was marinated then cooked coz the sauce is really coated in thr chicken and the last but my favorite is the Chashu Pork over rice. It is tasty and tender pork belly chopped small with a side veggie over rice. Sooo good! All in all, I will definitely go back and recommend this place. read more

I love ramen and this place is disappointing. Our family of 4 are ramen snobs and this place can take the love of ramen out of you. The meat was stringy, and the soup was flavorless. The four of us got various spice levels but all of them tasted the same. Don't waste your money here. Go find another ramen place. Only plus is lots of parking available and the place was clean. read more

Their BBQ plates are amazing, the marinate is just right: not too salty but flavorful. Their ramen is a bit toward the oily side, but otherwise quite amazing as well. read more

Food is okay. We usually get the bowls. Dine in experience is okay as well except the manager likes to watch Kpop. It's right beside Habit burger and when wanting to eat rice, we come here. Overall, nothing special. Just okay read more

Ramen 101 - Chicken Ramen medium spicy with garlic - Hawaiian Near Me - Antioch, California

I have ordered twice from Ramen 101 and both times I ordered the Hawaiian barbecue style dishes. I also ordered the vegetable tempura. The food is Always fresh, hot, and reasonably priced for the amount of food you get. When I placed my first order I thought the total of the bill was a little much for what I ordered, but when the food arrived I was stunned by the amount of food that fit in a takeout container and knew that I was getting a pretty good deal. I would definitely recommend this Ramen spot. read more

They just opened this spot. Never tried it in other locations they have and we were planning to go to the concord one since it has really great reviews. Behold they just opened one up in Brentwood and I was pretty excited! Have to say, Ramen 101 was named for a reason, THE RAMEN IS HELLA GOOD! Just had all the right flavors and I am glad that Brentwood has a good ramen spot now. read more

I am so upset!! I want to start off saying I love thier food. I love the concord location. Today my husband went to pick up our order. He and I both do not like fish at all, thank god we are not allergic. We ordered both our ramens without fish cakes. He got our order and found that his had fish cake in it when he got to the car. So he went inside and nicely, because mistakes happen and he understand, told them he ordered it without fish cake. The guy gave him a look and then gave it to someone behind him and told them. Then my husband WATCHED THE GUY JUST REMOVE THE FISH CAKE AND HAND IT BACK. What if he had been allergic?! That could have been a horrible mistake!!! He then told them that was unacceptable and to make him a new one. In which case he gave my husband and look before taking it back. Also come to find out when we got home they forgot to add the roasted garlic to his new one. read more

Happy to report that we finally have a Ramen and Hawaiian BBQ spot that we like! my husband and I have gone to their Dublin and Pleasanton locations during our commute back after work so we were looking forward to having a location nearby. Since it was too hot for Ramen we ordered Hawaiian BBQ with a side of spam musubi and were not disappointed. The portions were large, the meat was cooked tender, well seasoned, and the sautéed cabbage/broccoli were a plus. We ordered through their website for pickup and got a good discount. We will definitely be putting this restaurant into our biweekly rotation from now on. read more

Exceeded my expectations. First time eating Ramen 101, we had been waiting a while for it to open so when we drove by and realized it was open we had to stop and try it. They had tables set up outside and despite it being 91 degrees we ordered the vegetable ramen , chicken ramen, prawn and veggie tempura and chicken/beef Hawaiian BBQ plate. It was delicious, broth was flavorful full , the meats had great flavor and the tempura was crunchy and hot and delicious. Definitely will have them make my ramen extra spicy next time, I had the spicy broth but it really wasn't that spicy. read more
