Miso and tonkatsu had good flavor Big portions! The to go station has everything neatly organized Service was friendly and attentive We were watching Naruto as we ate :) Plenty of parking Thanks!
This place was so yummy, felt bad coming in an hour before they closed but they were super welcoming and kind and there was still a lot of people. The ramen itself was so good. I literally dream about this ramen... I live hours away so next time in the area I would definitely go back. The place is pretty clean as well.
Updated review - Visited this weekend and brought some of my out of town friends. Happy to report that they loved everything about this place. The amazing staff, the lovely environment (luckily we got a table), and the amazing food. My go to is always the black garlic ramen with no spice. Everyone enjoyed their food. I usually only order take out but this was my first time dining inside. Overall, great experience and can't wait to go back for more.
Finally came here for dinner small little spot can get pretty busy, parking can be a challenge but is worth the wait, bento box with some ramen was so tasty and fulfilling, service was good love the self serve to go containers.
People are very friendly here. She was incredibly helpful of finding us a table. Small store so limited seating around. We ordered 2 servings of gyoza, one ramen (mild), and one teriyaki beef bento box. Food was always served fast. My bento box flavor was great and came with a giant serving of rice. I appreciate the veggies. Super healthy to balance off the beef. Mild ramen was on the spicy side. Gyoza turns out to be deep fried. But flavors were good. I enjoyed them. Would love coming back again.
A tiny little ramen joint that serves up great ramen! At Ramen 101, you order at the counter and then find a seat. The employees were very helpful and efficient with clearing tables because this place was poppin! My husband and I both got the tonkostsu ramen and it was delish! The flavor of the broth and the goodies inside made it very enjoyable. I would definitely come back and try other ramens here!
Oh wow. I am shocked at the service we just received here. We are regular customers of the Modesto location and were on our way back from the Bay Area and decided to stop by this location due to the fact that we would not make it in time before closing to the Modesto location. We arrived and the cashier who said her name is Fiona very aggressively yelled when my husband scooted a table to join another table, I would say maybe a foot distance.. if that. She yelled "don't move my tables!!" I was at the register and had already started to order when this happened. The table was already moved and she continued to yell. She said "you don't come into MY restaurant and move MY tables!" At this point the two tables dining in the restaurant were all looking at us and also shocked at the attitude of said employee. I have never been literally yelled at anywhere I have dined. It was distasteful and very rude. It took everything in me to not yell back. I very politely said "wow, the yelling is uncalled for" and asked her to cancel the order. I refuse to support a business with an employee who thinks it's ok to yell at customers. If it is "her" restaurant as she claimed then this woman knows nothing about customer service. I used to work in the restaurant industry for 10+ years and I'm absolutely flabbergasted at this behavior. She was not pleasant in any way. And if I was an owner I would think twice about having her as an employee. There's a certain way of going about these type of situations and she handled it in the worst way. The restaurant would be closing in 30 minutes and my bet is she was probably annoyed that we came in last minute before closing and that was the reason she was in such a bad mood. Or could it possibly be racism? We are Mexican and on our way out another table mentioned to us that they also were treated poorly by the same employee. They were also Mexican. They mentioned she had made them get up and move to a different table after already sitting and she was also very rude in the way she spoke to them. We felt belittled and almost embarrassed at being treated this way. I would love a follow through regarding this situation. If a manager or owner can please reach out to me that would be greatly appreciated. If you have a camera system I would like you to review it so you can see this nasty behavior for yourself.
I was at Great Wolf Lodge this Memorial Day Weekend and the group needed food after a full day of swimming and a need for asian eats. It was around 7:45pm when we discussed dinner and Ramen 101 came up as a recommemdation. We'd all been to one in different cities, so quickly agreed. By the time I searched the location, I had conflicting closing times, 11pm, 9pm, and 830pm. With urgency we put in an online order and had got a confirmation by 8:03pm. The text said it would take 15 mins, so we headed over. We arrived around 8:23pm and confirmed they closed at 9pm and as we walked inside I noted the space was much smaller than other locations, but was full on the Memorial Day Monday. Another group behind us, walked in to be seated and the staff were happy to do so. As we walked up to the counter they greeted us and told us to-go forks, spoons, chopsticks, and containers were to the left. We had to ask for soy sauce and napkins. Because we ordered so quickly, we did not edit and ended up with a big order of 5 meals and 6 apps and a side of rice, with tax and tip was under $153, which fed 4 adults & 3 kids between 3-12. The portions were huge, especially the karage. We ate to the point of being full and decided the leftovers would be breakfast. Black garlic ramen was good, egg perfectly cooked, pork was tender and yummy, broth after fully stiring from togo container was excellent, a bit too much ramen noodles for me tho. The short-ribs were really tasty and so were gyoza that it came with, but was not served with mac salad. They used softer tofu for agadashi, so that was unexpected (would not order again from here). The chicken karaage batter was on the sweet side similar to corndog batter, also unexpected and not favored, but with plain rice was decent, kids enjoyed. Wonton ragoons had a nice amount of filling. Spam Wusubi was enjoyed. My rating of 4 stars is overall experience. 5 stars for service and commitment to fill this order ready for pick-up. Food flavor was overall 3.5 compared to other locations. But portions were a 4! Good in a pinch if you want something close and outside of GWL pizza and burger eats.
Who's a fan? Me! I'm a fan. I've been craving ramen for such a long time and normally I order beef. Since this place didn't have beef I went with chicken and it blew me away. Not only was the soup flavorful but the chicken was seasoned itself. 10/10
First time lunchtime. I was greeted with a friendly smiling young lady in the cashier. Very pleasant and accommodating. I ordered miso ramen and ebi tempura. Let's detail my experience: The miso soup is so good. The ramen noodles in my order need to be cooked alittle more, it's abit tough when I'm eating and biting on it. The ebi tempura was ok.. I'm expecting maybe a different batter, where the batter is more light and crunchy. The tempura dip sauce has a salty taste, maybe need more attention when putting the seasoning. Over all food wise it's ok. The ambiance is nice, clean place and I like the decor, especially the cat framed decor.

I visited last week. It's a small, casual restaurant where you place your order at the counter and then choose any table you'd like. You also serve yourself water and grab your own utensils. If you'd like extra sauce or condiments, you just need to ask. As a vegetarian, I was happy to see they had an option for me. I also appreciated that the vegetarian ramen broth is prepared separately and isn't mixed with the meat broths. I ordered the Spicy Vegetarian Ramen, and it arrived at my table quickly. It had great flavor, plenty of vegetables, and tofu. The tofu wasn't my favorite type since I prefer firm tofu, but it didn't take away from how much I enjoyed the soup. It definitely had a spicy kick! I ended up with leftovers, and it was easy to take them home since you simply grab a takeout container and pack your food yourself. Overall, I really enjoyed my meal and would come back. read more
Visited this location for a dinner last night. My husband had a black garlic ramen and I had chicken ramen. Both were very tasty and flavorful. You can customize how spicy you would like your dish to be. Great portion size and quality of food for the price. My chicken was expertly prepared. It very easy to overcook chicken but in this establishment the texture and flavors were wonderful. Service was quick and pleasant. This place is heavy on to go orders but there is an amble amount of tables inside as well. Overall, great experience. We will be back! read more

Being a SF guy, I never imagined a ramen spot outside of SF being good. Man was I wrong. Food was delicious! The lady serving us was super cool, she was helpful with getting the right choice. Definitely coming back whenever in Manteca. It's a small spot but customers were constantly coming and tons of mobile orders. read more

I went here with the 81 year old and the 77 year old. She kept referring to it as Top Ramen 101. I wasn't enthusiastic about it--I'm Japanese--until I saw the Unagi Donburi, since I love eel. I was not enthusiastic that they didn't have Ma Po Ramen, as you'd find in Japan. It's between Starbucks and Jamba Juice, which is a good location for something trendy. Ordering at the counter seems reasonable considering their target age group. It wasn't inconvenient. I knew what I wanted but the other two did not, and they'd already been there once. We ordered Tonkatsu Ramen for one and the Chicken/Beef Bento Box for the other. I later ordered the 7 piece gyoza separately because I dislike making my own. My thumbs are still cramped from the last time. For drinks, I got the same KSF Black Tea with Lemon that I order from 99 Ranch Market and they got White Peach sparkling water. The eel arrived first. It didn't look like what I was hoping. The ramen and the bento box arrived and looked good. I felt better when the gyoza arrived. The food was okay. The gyoza was better than the eel but the eel was okay. There is a reason I used to drive 30 miles from home around Philadelphia to a restaurant run by Japanese to get eel. Service was friendly and they checked on us a couple of times. I knew going there that it wasn't going to be what I wanted and I tried to prepare myself. Having friendly workers helped the experience. read more

Hubby and I were at Old Navy in the shopping center and asked the cashier where was a good spot to eat. Didn't know there was a Ramen 101 location nearby this whole time! Yeah it's a chain but their ramen is pretty good and at a reasonable price. Food came out quick, yummy bowl of comforting ramen. Yeah it was hot this day but we didn't care. We wanted ramen! Will get the spicy option next time bc my mild was for a child. Karaage and agadashi tofu were good too. Didnt finish and took food to-go. Seating is limited inside. read more

I was croup so bad anyway got the miso ramen and it hit the spot like a hug in a bowl love ramen 101...always consistent read more
The bentos are less than $15! Chicken cutlets were surprisingly good. It's very thin and crispy just like what I had in Japan! It was nicely done without overcooking, therefore, it was juicy and not dry at all. Protein portions were huge. The beef teriyaki was also pretty good. Good quality beef, I've been to places where have of the beef was just fat, but not marbled kind of fat like the Wagyus. On the other hand, I was disappointed on the ramen. The kids were chowing the down before I even had a chance to take a picture. The Tonkatsu broth was not as concentrated nor flavorful enough. But the kids enjoyed it and finished the entire bowl. This was a great place for lunch or dinner while we spent some time at the Greta wolf lodge. We definitely try the location near our home to see if they qualify is the same! read more

Pork Rib Ramen (medium spicy) was so good! I was craving delicious ramen and this hit the spot. My only wish is that we had a ramen 101 locally to the Sonoma county area! Customer service was so amazing! The staff were super attentive and friendly especially the cashier, I wish I got her name, but her good energy is infectious :) the spot was quaint but very clean and my son got a kick out of their cat posters eating ramen. Will come again thank you! read more
We stopped by here on our way to Monterey from Sacramento. There are multiple Ramen 101's in the area. Our was very casual, modern decor with a large Japanese photo on the wall. The cashier was very friendly and even took our group photo. We got various bento boxes and ramen soups and a spam misubi. Everything tasted savory and satisfying. We would love to eat here again. read more

Been to this place quite a few times and the food and service have been very exceptional every time we visit. Everyone that works in there has been very nice to us and we've never had issues with food being wrong, bad or taking too long. They also have anime playing on the TV and that's a plus for me! read more

My wife and I had been wanting to try this spot for a while so we used the new year as an opportunity to do it. The inside is fairly small and may be difficult to get a table but people move in and out rather quickly. The staff was super nice and helpful. Our food was very flavorful. I really enjoyed the chicken karage and my ramen. Really good quality for Manteca. Highly recommend. read more
Came here yesterday for the first time. I ordered the Black Garlic Ramen with lumpia appetizer. The food was amazing. I loved every bit of it. I got the ramen medium spicy which was probably the perfect amount of spicy. I don't think I would have been able to handle any hotter. The restaurant in itself is pretty small so if you come to dine in you may have to wait for a table to free up. They're located next to the Starbucks so the drive thru line may get in the way of parking close. The parking close to the spot is 20 min parking but no one takes that seriously. read more
