Best best best place ever. My friend and I went and had some requests and they were so accommodating!! They even brought out our to-go bags to where we were sitting. And food is always on point. 10/10 would go again read more

Casual spot for after your shopping at the outlets. Better deal than the mall food courts for the amount of food you get for the price The teriyaki chicken and broccoli rice bowl is wonderful at $8.50! Generous serving of protein. You can even share it amongst two if not super hungry. Black garlic ramen is a popular choice and had whole pieces of garlic inside the soup. it was ok for me, the noodles could use more flavoring Order first THEN find a table to sit down. Ramen came out soo fast (dinner time) read more

Ramen 101 is located in a shopping plaza opposite SF Premium Outlets. My friend and I shopped until we dropped and then had a late lunch here. We arrived around 2 PM, and the restaurant was about 75% full. Fortunately, we ordered at the front and were seated quickly. The service was quick and friendly. We ordered Tonkatsu and Miso Ramen. I chose the Miso with medium spiciness, which was topped with Sichuan chili oil. While I like Sichuan chili oil, I prefer my ramen this particular chili oil; without the peppercorn and Mala flavors in my ramen broth. Both bowls had generous portions and tasted great. The pork chashu slices were flavorful, likely marinated and pan-seared to enhance their taste. They didn't taste gamey, which was a plus. 3.8 rounded to 4 stars. In addition to ramen and other Japanese dishes, this place also offers Hawaiian BBQ, which was a surprise when we ordered at the counter. read more

The first time I came here the ramen was alright (3-star, cafeteria style). The second time the broth was extremely salty. I tried diluting the broth with water but since it isn't very creamy to begin with, it didn't do the trick. It was hard to finish the bowl. read more

Stopped by after a nearby round of golf. Ramen always hits the spot. This place also serves Hawaiian bbq too. We ordered at the counter and our food came out quickly. Broth was piping hot, noodles were chewy, and the extras in the soup were tasty. Good portions too! read more

I happened to be in the area by San Francisco Premium outlet. This place is an order before you sit down. Food: I had a Tonkotsu ramen, did not taste like it at all. Did not have that sweet umami broth flavor at all. I mainly tasted the oil, something's lacking for sure. The egg, bamboo, and pork slices were decent though. Service: Wasn't that great. When the ramen came, the server asked who had which ramen, just for them to place it in the middle of the table. The server looked like they did not want to be there. Overall wouldn't go back, I'd go elsewhere in the area. read more

Came here after trying a new tea place next door. Tried the tonkotsu ramen with medium spice level. The flavor of the broth is good, noodles is nice and bouncy. Egg is creamy not overcooked, and pork slices are a little dry but overall not bad. The medium spice level isn't spicy in my opinion but I can handle heat. Overall I give the tonkatsu ramen about 3.7. With tax and tip it ends up being almost $19. read more

Do better management! We entered this establishment 45 min before they were scheduled to close. We sat down, received most of our food in a timely manner but our last dish was taking long so we followed up and they must have told us to just take it to go bec they were going to close. (Still had 30 min till closing) people were still inside side eating and they were cleaning around us. Closed the bathrooms while people were still eating. You can tell they were in a hurry to close before closing time. Wait till your customers are done, please, or put a sign saying the restaurant will be closing 30 min before scheduled time. As soon as the last person stepped out the door, they turned off the lights it was 8:53pm. read more

Have not been here in a while. Still think this is better than the Pleasanton and Dublin stores. Quick dinner meal was convenient. Seating was casual and ambiance is casual. Service was fast. Staff was friendly even close to closing time. The broth for Tonkatsu was flavorful yet not too thick or too much. Pork Rins Ramen was tasty, Not too overpowering. The fried Squid and Takoyaki balls were tasty. The balls could be slight less shaky. Parking just across the outlets, was very easy. And there were plenty of spots. Convenient location too. read more

Vegetarians beware! My wife and I had ordered take out and they ended up messing up our orders. My wife is vegetarian and they accidentally gave her bone broth instead of the vegetarian broth, she only found out halfway after she had already eaten half of her ramen. Terrible service. read more

Always phenomenal service with absolutely amazing ramen. Never once have I had anything messed up or needing to be corrected. I usually do takeout and it's always still hot by the time I get home. read more

This place happens to be near something else I was already at and I decided to stop in and give it a shot for lunch. There seemed to be a lot of people (a few already sitting, some already gone with tables to clear and some at counter waiting to order) so I figured it was good to try! The menu had a lot of great looking choices. While the service was fast and friendly, unfortunately the taste and flavors just weren't there for me! Here's what I got: Tonkatsu ramen - the broth had a weird flavor to it, not sure if it's the water being used in the broth or what but I typically love the creamy tonkatsu flavors and this one didn't do it for me. I honestly didn't even want to finish it... ended up packing it up to go after about 5-10 bites (leftovers larger than togo box given) *eaten in the restaurant (and took to-go the leftovers) Hawaiian BBQ mixed plate - nice portion however all the meats had no flavor, as if they weren't marinaded and no sauces on them. I requested extra sides of teriyaki sauce. *taken to-go Spam Musubi- one order included 2 PCs. All the rice was on the bottom so it seemed there was a ton of it and ended up falling out and all over before I could get half way done. Again, no flavor or sauces. *eaten in the restaurant (and took to-go the leftovers) It was a cold and rainy day, I really wanted to like it but unfortunately everything I tried was meh! read more

We come here for our ramen fix... shop at the outlets across the street then eat ramen lol. My hubby always gets the seafood ramen with extra shrimp and I usually get the ramen with ribs in medium spice. It always hits the spot. They have some good rice dishes as well. We get our food pretty quickly too.... We were the only ones here on Valentine's Day. Haha. read more

So freaking tasty! Nothing better than a warm creamy ramen on a cold day. Place is always clean and the staff is friendly and helpful but to the point. The menu is on the wall with pictures for east ordering. The portions are huge so bring your appetite. It's a little in the pricey side but it's def worth it. They have disposable chopsticks on the table which I love. Also you can get unlimited refills on water from the fountain if you don't want to purchase a drink. read more

RUDE RUDE RUDE!!! Came in with my family at 7pm on a Sunday. (They close at 8pm). The worker Asian lady with the glasses and the vet grown blond hair . She was very impatient and rude to my family while we were ordering. Borderline yelling at us while taking our order. Rushing us to order. No one was behind us. Place was empty. My family and I looked at each other confused as to why she was treating us that way. Just an unpleasant, unprofessional way to do business. She needs customer service training. NEVER COMING BACK HERE! I WILL NEVER RECOMMEND THIS PLACE. SAVE YOUR MONEY, GO SOMEWHERE ELSE. TONS OF OTHER FOOD PLACES AROUND. read more

Solid ramen. Better than some from Japan town I've had. It's a fast type of eatery, order and pay before you take your seat. No need to wait for a waiter to bring you a menu. Service is fast, and before I could fill up my cup sip my water, my bowl was ready. Pros: umami Emulsified tonkatsu broth Spice levels (medium was super mild to me) Ramen comes with corn, bean sprouts, mushrooms and chasu Egg was seasoned Black garlic oil (yum) Clean tables, a nice amber lighting, and decor The mural was a nice touch Broth was 3.5/5 Cons: Broth was a bit bitter, kinda like when you boil bones at too high a heat to dish out fast broth for fast service Egg was cooked all the way through. I need my jammy eggs folks! Corn was not sweet, it had no taste The ramen noodles were probably over cooked because it was not as chewy as I'd like Overall this is a 4/5 establishment with a 3/5 ramen. Not bad but nothing stellar. I'd love to try the unagi don. Looks delicious read more

Food (4/5 stars): We went shopping at the Livermore Outlets and Ramen 101 was conveniently located across the street! The Black Garlic Ramen didn't exceed my expectations. The pork wasn't tender or flavorful and the broth wasn't as spicy or rich as I would've liked. I'd be interested in trying their rice plates or Hawaiian options Experience (4/5 stars): * Price: kinda pricey * Wait Time: minimal on a Sunday at noon for a party of 6 * Service: good and friendly * Parking: there's a parking lot * Ambiance: it's a nice, casual restaurant read more

Ramen 101 - Black Garlic Ramen - Ramen Near Me - Livermore, California

This is my family's go to place when we go shopping at the outlets. Depending on what time of day you go, it may be a little crowded (especially during lunch) and there may not be room for you to sit. The service is fast though so hopefully you won't have to wait long. Their chicken ramen is so flavorful and the meat that comes with is so tender. The egg, scallions, corn and seaweed just add to the mix and the texture of the ramen is just right. The black garlic ramen is their most popular ramen here. My friend said that after trying the chicken, the pork kind of disappointed her. Which is surprising, but is a testament to how good their chicken ramen is! The BBQ mix is a great way to try all the different meats they have available. My dad prefers rice and usually gets this. It's a generous portion so there is enough to share with the rest of your party. Overall, I would totally recommend this place to anyone who wants a meal and a break from shopping. Their restrooms have the possibility of being cleaner than the outlets. Be warned you may not have a seat when you first walk in, but it's totally worth the wait. read more

The Tonkatsu Ramen was pretty good. I think the broth was a little light but overall it was delicious. The tempura battered vegetables were great . I enjoyed every bite. We also had the grilled squid which was also good. I'd come back again, Tempura could use a little salt. Service was great. read more

I ordered takeout for dinner and it wasn't busy early evening on a Thursday. I asked about the Yelp check in promotion but they said it isn't valid anymore. Everything was ready in less than fifteen minutes. I got the black garlic ramen, BBQ mix plate, and lumpia. I don't have a high tolerance for spicy food but I could eat the medium level for the ramen. The flavors were good and there was a good ratio of broth to ramen and toppings. The beef was the best part of the mix plate but I wouldn't order that or the lumpia again. Better to stick with the ramen. read more

After a long day at the outlets, came to this place for ramen. We got the Black garlic Ramen, it had a rich broth garlic flavor on a medium spicy level with roast pork that was tender. Tonkatsu Ramen, had a nice texture mushroom and a nice soft boiled egg and noodles were cooked just right. The Grilled squid was perfectly grilled, a nice chewy bite to it, went well with the dipping sauce. Takoyaki was one of my favorite, soft and chewy tiny squid as you bite into it with a nice crisp on the outside perfect while it was served hot. A great place for ramen. Definitely will come back again when craving for a Ramen soup. read more

My parents and I decided to eat here for lunch before shopping across the street. Atmosphere: Clean and welcoming Service: We were greeted by the staff as we walked in. We had to order on the counter before taking a seat. The staffs were friendly and efficient. We received our food in a short amount of time. Food: My parents ordered Tonkotsu Ramen and I ordered Shoyu Ramen. My parents enjoyed their ramen. They said the soup base tasted good. On the other hand, my Shoyu ramen was only okay. Nothing spectacular. The egg was cooked really well though. Overall, I think the ramen I had was okay. I would get the Tonkotsu ramen if I come back. In addition to ramen, they also have appetizers and rice plates. I haven't tried those yet. Will try those next time as well. read more

I would give this place zero stars if I could. The customer service was absolutely terrible. We were charged for an extra soda, which we didn't mind paying for. They even brought us a "receipt," so we assumed the charge had already gone through. Instead, as soon as we walked out, a worker came running outside yelling at us in front of everyone, accusing us of not paying. That is no way to treat customers, especially over something that could have easily been handled with a calm conversation. Completely unprofessional, and we will not be returning. read more

The service was decent and quick, overall no complaints. I had the Black Garlic Ramen with medium spice. It was tasty and not spicy at all. Crab rangoons were good, nothing incredible or bad. I grew up in the area, and it'd say this is a good ramen spot for here. In comparison to ramen spots in San Jose or San Francisco, though, I would barely call this decent ramen. Overall it satisfied the cravings, and I have no major complaints. read more

Came in for lunch with my two kids. This isn't my first time here so I thought the bad attitude from the lady taking our order the other time was a one off. The little Asian lady with the giant glasses and short blonde hair is extremely rude. She acts as though she's giving you life and her face looks like she's smelled crap all day long. I asked for extra napkins and she gave me one. We were a party of 3. So my son decided to get up and just grab some himself. Food isn't even that great to be able to suck up the nasty attitude. read more

Located close to Livermore outlets. Ramen always a hit with my daughter and they have many locations throughout the Bay Area so I know we will always get the same great taste. Ordering was quick and easy at counter or a contact less kiosk to the side of counter. Hot green tea is $1 per cup. Asked for veggies on the side of ramen as daughter is not a fan of big chunks of bok Choy. Soup base delicious. Mom got a rice and chicken bento. I am a ramen 101 fan. read more

Food was good but the person at the register was less than welcoming. I would definitely come back to this place for lunch.

Always a great choice, especially on a rainy day. The Livermore location is great because the service, food, and speed is always on par. They have plenty of food and drink options for everyone. It's also a fair price point too if you need a quick dinner. My go-to is the chicken ramen. It's really tasty with plenty of ingredients. We usually order for takeout and I appreciate that the bowl is large enough to eat directly from - no mess! This location is across the street from the Livermore Outlets, so parking and pedestrian traffic can be a little busy, but manageable. I would recommend this Ramen101 location :) read more

Pretty good! Had the Hawaiian BBQ chicken with rice and macaroni. Service was nice, and the food was served fast, hot, and with a good flavor.
