I've been to the other location in town, so I knew the food was going to be good! This time around, though, I was in the mood for a Hawaiian plate, not ramen. On to the food! I ordered the bbq chicken & beef plate, and it was pretty good! It came with mac (also good) and some rice. It was filling and hit the spot. Next time around, I'll probably give their ramen a try! Also, service was great, and I'm glad they were able to accommodate us, even though it was 20 minutes until closing! read more

Ramen 101 - Bbq chicken and beef plate! - Ramen Near Me - Dublin, California

Great joint for when you have a ramen craving and are in the area! After a day shopping at the Stoneridge Mall and Livermore Outlets with my Mom, I had a hankering for a good hot meal and bowl of ramen. This location is down the street in Dublin and we were about an hour out from close. It was a slow weekday and they were able to serve us quick and easy! A $15 bowl of ramen, with great portion and great flavor (compared to other bigger cities who overcharge and give significantly less)? How can I not be happy? Albeit I am a vegetarian and I got the veggie ramen with tofu, mushrooms, corn, bean sprouts and a boiled egg on the side. I also opted for the creamy version of their veggie broth and loved it. Ramen noodles were great and cooked well too. I feel like I can go to ramen spots who disappoint me easily when it ventures too far out of the norm, and this was an easy meal that was quick, reliable, and hit the spot. I haven't tried their other options though I do know they offer other Hawaiian bbq staples (I saw a number of people ordering those to-go). Not sure how those are... but I'm happy to report their ramen does the job. Happy gals! read more

After losing my voice on a week-long trip to San Francisco, I craved some soup. While shopping in the area, my family and I decided to have dinner at Ramen 101. Though the restaurant was busy, we were able to find a table for our party of four right away. The space was cozy yet provided ample seating. The staff at Ramen 101 was friendly and attentive. Our group ordered a variety of entrees, and I chose the seafood ramen and green tea. Seafood ramen isn't something I come across often, so I was eager to try theirs. Priced at $16.99, it included shrimp, scallop, fish cake, boiled egg, corn, green onion, bean sprouts, and bamboo shoots. The portion was generous, packed with protein, and the broth was flavorful. It was filling and I enjoyed it. My party enjoyed their entrees as well. No complaints! read more

Ramen 101 is a decent Japanese spot. It's not the most amazing, but it'll get the job done. I went with a bowl of Black Garlic Ramen and it was pretty tasty. I think I would've rather gotten the Tonkotsu though--next time! There are lots of good eats in this plaza and Ramen 101 is a solid choice if you're not sure where to eat. read more

I don't know if the cook was having a bad day or if they were understaffed, but we went to Ramen 101 last Mothers Day for lunch. We had a good experience the previous times we went and so were very excited. To be fair, all the other dishes were good. Bbq chicken, seafood ramen, tempura, grilled squid and popcorn chicken (with very good portion size). However they totally messed up the Black Garlic Chicken Ramen. We orderes 2 bowls - but was so surprised it was watery and had no flavor. Upon asking about it, they forgot to add the "tare" or sauce and had to give us separately the black garlic oil, chicken powder and flavor sauce. We let it pass even if our experience was definitely down already. We had a take out order of the same ramen and specifically told the cashier to please do not forget the sauce. When we got home --- we were so disappointed that again, it tasted like water. I hope they fix this because surely, we are having 2nd thoughts going back. read more

Always a favorite! DoorDash tonight; but I can say that the service is always fast, friendly and helpful and the location itself is clean and welcoming. Comfort food at its finest, I like to order the black garlic ramen, no shoots but added tofu and topped with kimchi. Perfection! read more

Ramen 101 - Black Garlic Ramen w/Kimchi - Ramen Near Me - Dublin, California

I've ordered here a couple times and it was just okay...but this time will probably be my last. The pork rib I received this time was way too overcooked, the plastic fork couldn't even poke it. It tasted like it was just reheated and the meat was so tough and dry that it kept getting stuck in my teeth. Ordered crab rangoons that seemed to be not cooked all the way. The middle part was still pretty doughy, and no crunch at all. They were covered in so much oil too causing its bag to break. It's so hard to find any good restaurant in Dublin.. read more

I like Ramen 101 because I know what to expect with any of their chain restaurants. It's always good. I also like the order at the counter, pay and pick a seat. Very casual and ramen always hits. I get the black garlic ramen mild spice. I am pretty sure I can go for medium but I wasn't feeling spicy tonight. Staff is kind and trust me when I say that their bowls are huge. You are definitely getting your money's worth here. Check out Ramen 101 to get your noodle fix! read more

Ramen 101 has become a favorite spot for me to visit with my daughter. If she had the choice, she'd probably be here every day. It's a solid place to get a very good bowl of ramen. I usually get the chicken ramen because it comes with a lot of chicken in it. I like the pork too, but you only get two slices. With the chicken, there's a lot of it. One thing I noticed, and I'm not sure why it is this way, but all the Ramen 101 locations I've been to in the valley all cut their eggs in half. Both locations that I've eaten at in the Bay Area keep their eggs whole. Not really a big deal, but I wonder why the difference. Another thing that I can never be sure of is which menu I'm going to get if I've never been to that particular location. I've been to locations with a kids menu and a Hawaiian BBQ section while other locations don't have the kids menu and they bento boxes in place of the Hawaiian BBQ. I only mention it because I introduced the place to my mom and she really liked the bento boxes. So she told my dad about it and then we went into this Dublin location and discovered that they have Hawaiian BBQ instead of bento. It was a little disappointing for her, but she still got something she liked. I just don't understand why there's so much inconsistency. Regardless, we did have a good experience here and the food was delicious. read more

My coworker introduced me to this location. So it's a first for me here. Employees were friendly and polite. Service was great especially when you're on a crunch one hour lunch break. Our food came out fast! I love anything spicy so I opted for the spicy seafood ramen, while my coworker ordered her usual spicy blacken garlic ramen and their musubi. My ramen was delicious and the portions were great. Had to take my leftover to go. I definitely will return and try the other ramens. It's a cute little spot w plenty of parking next to tons of other eateries, like Crumbles, Starbucks and Coldstone Ice Cream if you have room for coffee or a sweet treat! read more

This place was my go to when they open. Over time, the need for speed has made quality less than it was. I am hoping they take time and prepare quality ramen like they did when they open. Service has always been decent. It's a causal place suitable for singles to family members. read more

This location was waaaay better than the location that is still open half a mile away; just tried the same thing I usually get and the location still open has sparse toppings, a smaller portion and the taste isn't right. I'm sorry to see this place go. Staff was so friendly. read more

Ramen at Ramen 101 has the looks but not the taste. That just about sums up the experience. I suppose I was spoiled by Ajisen Ramen in Fremont. The noodles here are a bit harder rather than chewy. The soup base is bland and even the pork is bland. The chili sauce taste like the spices from northern China. I would still come back if I have the cravings for noodles and am much closer to Dublin than to Fremont. read more

I wanted some Ramen so we drive to this location which is conveniently located in a little plaza so there are a lot of parking. The restaurant is small but have enough tables inside. The location is clean and looks well maintained. Service is ok. The person who took our order didn't smile or greeted us. He basically just took our order and didn't really say much. We ordered the following Grilled Squid 5/5 - this was really good it was cook perfectly not chewy and it has teriyaki sauce. Chicken Kaarage 5/5 - this is fried and nice and crispy. The chicken was juicy came with like a sweet spicy mayo dipping sauce. Tonkatsu Ramen 5/5 - the broth was really good not too salty and I like it non spicy so they made it non spicy. It came with 2 slices of pork belly, 1 egg, noodles, mushrooms, bamboo shoots for the added crunch. Yummy! We love coming here the food is good! read more

Decided on ramen after a day of shopping at the Livermore outlet. Lots of parking available, even with tons of restaurant choices around. A pretty small place with five or six tables inside. As you walk in, you recognize right away that it's a order at the counter for dine in or takeout. We wanted to eat there as it wasn't busy and we were able to order right away. Good amount of ramen choices and appetizers on the menu. I wouldn't say it was amazing ramen, but not too bad. Pretty good portion size as well. If youre looking for a quick service ramen spot, this is the place. We ordered: Vegetarian ramen Black garlic ramen read more

Wasn't expecting to see L&L type menu in a ramen restaurant. Chicken katsu was actually good. The cutlet was well breaded and seemed fresh. Mac salad was okay seemed like it had pieces of shredded chicken in it. Char siu contained steamed rice with mixed veggies. Was hoping it was fried rice instead. Staff was really friendly and quick to our needs despite doing multiple duties. read more

I love this place. It has tons of great options, including the rice plates, ramen, appetizers and more. The picture attached is a bbq chicken and katsu rice plate which comes with a lot of meat and is pretty filling and not too expensive. The tonkotsu ramen is also one of my favorites. Overall, not that expensive and had tons of great options and a great restaurant atmosphere. read more

Wahhh! It pains me to say I'll need to find a new ramen spot. The last time I visited, 2 ramen bowls were missing the eggs and bamboo shoots. There are only 5 toppings in the ramen, so missing 2 seems like a lot. When I asked them about this, they said they ran out of bamboo shoots. Mmm okay, but they should've let customers know when ordering or let them substitute with another topping, like corn. (Each topping costs $1-2 when added, so missing a few toppings... dude!). When I asked, "You ran out of eggs too?" It was then that they admitted that they forgot and brought out eggs for us to add in the bowls, but they were cold so my kids didn't enjoy eating them, which stinks because the eggs and noodles are usually their favorite parts of the dish. Other things to note: - The pieces of pork in the ramen had a funny aftertaste. It may be because it wasn't hot. I dunno. But we couldn't eat it. - My favorite unagi bowl went up in price, which is okay because it's unagi (yum!), but they also keep downsizing their portions, meaning the price actually increased even more if you consider the smaller portion. I don't eat a lot, and even I thought it wasn't enough to eat as a meal like it was before. Even my kids felt bad for me that they were giving me some of their food, which says a lot because their bowls were missing items! The flavor of the shoyu soup was tasty and the unagi was cooked well, so I'm giving it 2 stars, but these qualities unfortunately do not make up for the negatives. Womp womp! Time to find a new ramen joint. read more

We came back from a trip and everyone got sick. So my husband and son all wanted something soupy and warm. We decided on this place for our Sunday dinner. I called in to order and was told would be ready in 10 minutes. We ordered garlic soup noodle, Tonkatsu and spice noodle. When I got there, the food was ready and packed. They separated soup from the noodles and everything was hot! Even though we were all sick with a poor appetite, we cleaned our bowl, ate all of the food. The flavor was great and best part it didn't feel like we compromised on quality because of take out. I would visit this place again. read more

Their website claims that if you spend over $35, you'll get $5 off. 2 weeks ago, I purposely ordered over $35 to get the discount, and it didn't apply the discount to my order. I assumed I had done something wrong, so I let it go. I tried again last week, and once again, I purposely ordered over $35 to get the discount. This time, I checked every page carefully to make sure I would get the discount. There was no mention of the discount on any page besides the homepage. I placed the order anyway, thinking that maybe it'll be deducted after I placed the order. Once again, it never gave me the discount. They got me twice with this fake promotion. read more
