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!

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.

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.

#1 Ramen very good just don't remember the name

Food was very good and was price fairly. I recommend coming here for the Ramen, tokayaki, and squid

Took the kids. Everything was delicious, friendly atmosphere and great service. Would definitely come back if in the area.

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.

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.

My family and I have dined here a couple times and have been satisfied with the food and service. It's a smallish restaurant that seats no more than 25 people or so. You order at the counter and seat yourself. I've tried their black garlic ramen and their pork rib ramen on separate occasions. The black garlic ramen had good flavor, tons of umami but I felt like it could be more garlicky. Noodles were cooked al dente, which I like and the pork pieces were nice and tender. The pork rib ramen was also pretty tasty, but definitely more pork in flavor. The rib was good, but I felt it was a little awkward to eat it with my ramen bowl. I guess it I prefer all the meat to be in smaller pieces to negate having to use my fingers to tear off the bone. Noodles were also cooked al dente. If you're looking to order an appetizer, the chicken karaage was good. It has a hint of heat/spice to it and is served with a dipping sauce. Overall a solid spot to check out in Manteca if you're craving some Japanese ramen. read more

Service was average at best. Ramen is very disappointing. Literally would eat store bought packaged ramen over this. Lacks flavor and depth in every way from the broth to what's added. Ramen 101 is like the McDonald's of ramen but on a bad day. Don't recommend this place to anyone. If you have any sense of taste you'll regret eating here. read more

Probably the only ramen place in the vicinity but also great service and clean/relaxing vibes. Not a lot of seating but the food is quick and turn around is fast. I saw lots of food delivery pick ups, so that's probably the reason. I've had 3 waiters on 3 separate occasions and all of them have been super sweet and accommodating. Food was really good, the teriyaki beef bento box is my favorite I've had anywhere. The beef was soft and a good size portion with rice and veggies. The tonkatsu ramen broth was flavorful and the bowl was packed with stuff. The egg was cooked perfectly! The chicken karaage got mixed reviews from my family, but I liked it and it was crispy. I wish they had more than just a fridge of cans/bottles for drink options, but standard water is always fine. No complaints really, but it would just be nice. Definitely will come back! read more

It's really good! The black garlic ramen is really great if you want a super garlicky. Tonkatsu and miso are my faves. I always add an extra egg (very flavorful). I hate sprouts, I feel it can overpower the taste that's my personal preference so I'll ask for it on the side, and without it, it's even better!! Also ordered chicken karaage, great just wish they gave more dipping sauce. Seating is difficult but they have a wait list as the location is small and doesn't help if a party of 11 shows up and takes over the entire place, not the restaurants fault, so I take it to go. Food was still extremely hot when I got home. Highly recommend read more

Best (and only) ramen spot in Manteca! The service was friendly from the moment I walked in, I walked up to the counter and asked what the cashier's favorite dish was as a recommendation and he suggested I get the black garlic ramen and of course I had to get it spicy just to feel something (there is an option of extra spicy), but honestly the spice level was minor so if you're looking for something to melt your mouth off then this probably isn't the place, but that doesn't matter because the ramen itself was delicious! From the complexity of flavors, the creaminess and oily essence of the broth that coats the taste buds, the umami from the black garlic, to the fattiness of the pork, and the bite of the bamboo shoots this ramen was a harmony of flavors in a bowl. Simply put, I enjoyed my meal. As far as the interior of the restaurant, it's a nice cozy little spot to grab a bowl of ramen and a cold beverage (guava nectar for me please). I'd recommend and will definitely come here with a regular cadence. read more

Good service, but food was not. Order a plain miso for my younger boys (they LOVE miso) they took two bits of this and refused to eat any more. I tasted it and agreed it was awful. Also order the seafood ramen, the black garlic ramen, a teriyaki beef bento box and some vegetable tempura. The beef was way over cooked. Slightly burnt. The tempura was disgusting. Maybe they need to change the oil. They were dripping in with grease. I would say out of everything the best was the black garlic ramen.

My wife and I stopped in after our jog along the Tidewater Biketrail, making this our lunch pit stop after starting at Lathrop Road. The Char Siu Pork Bánh Mì is an easy 5/5. The baguette was fresh, crispy on the outside, and soft and chewy inside. The char siu pork was tender, juicy, and perfectly caramelized around the edges. Crisp pickled carrots and daikon, plenty of cilantro, and fresh jalapeños brought everything together. It's a well-balanced sandwich with a portion that's just right. The Grilled Chicken Roll'd deserves more attention. The grilled chicken reminded me of a flavorful chicken satay, and the peanut sauce complemented every bite without overpowering the fresh ingredients. If you're looking for a lighter, protein-packed option, this is it. They also offered complimentary strawberry and passion fruit refreshers. They were a little sweeter than my preference, but the flavors were refreshing. Next time, I'd order one at 50% sweetness. The restaurant is clean, inviting, and a welcome escape from the Central Valley heat. Service has always been friendly, and it's the kind of place where both the staff and regulars make you feel welcome. There's also a Tracy location, but I find myself coming back to the Manteca restaurant. It's smaller, more intimate, and has a charm all its own. If you're in the area, I highly recommend stopping by. Great food, great people, and a relaxed atmosphere. I always say, good food brings out the best in people.

Everything I've had has always been fresh, flavorful, and generously portioned. The food comes out fast, and the service is consistently friendly and attentive.

Firstly- garlic spicy edamame - felt it was rushed to make. The edamame was firm and not soft and there was no real spice or garlicky taste to it. For it being $9.95 whereas the steam edamame was $5.50, definitely not worth it. 2 stars Baby lobster roll- California topped with lobster pieces and eel sauce was pleasantly good. 5 stars Chicken teriyaki dinner - half the plate was filled with salad and an okay miso dressing. The chicken was just ordinary. I got tired of it quick and couldn't finish it. To me, it wasn't as good as my fav Japanese restaurant on how it's prepared, so for that I give it 3 stars. (Wouldn't order it again) My wife had the salmon teriyaki and she finished the rice but left a lot of salmon on her plate. No grade since I didn't try it. The positive is the staff was really friendly and attentive. 5 stars Now that I've tried Matsu Sushi, I don't think I would eat here if waiting to watch a movie at AMC. They have a great spot being next to the theater but sadly, not impressed with the food that I would want to spend over $100 to eat here (3 people)

A Japanese-inspired restaurant located conveniently off Highway 120. While I had a generally positive experience, there were some areas where the restaurant could have improved. Food - Tonkatsu Ramen 3/5 I found the broth to be lacking in depth and complexity, and the noodles were a bit overcooked for my liking. Eggs were definitely overcooked too. However, I must say that the other toppings were fresh and flavorful, and the portion size was quite generous. - Chicken Karaage 2/5 I noticed that the proportions of breading to meat were a little uneven, with more breading than meat. Additionally, the dish was overcooked, resulting in the meat being somewhat dry on the inside. - Takoyaki 4/5 I deducted one point because some of the balls were crispier than others. However, among the ones that were good, the texture was perfect. They were crispy on the outside yet soft and fluffy on the inside. Experience: A restaurant with a nice atmosphere, although it was a bit small. The staff was extremely friendly and accommodating, which made the experience even more enjoyable. We arrived during dinner time on a Sunday and were pleased to receive our food in about 10 minutes, which was impressively speedy. Overall, while I wouldn't necessarily go out of my way to visit Ramen 101 again, it's a decent option if you're in the area and craving ramen. read more

I tried the veggie ramen and veggie tempura at Ramen 101 in Manteca and both were so good! The broth was flavorful, the noodles had that perfect bite, and the tempura was crispy without feeling too heavy. You can tell everything was fresh and made with care. The only downside is the restaurant itself -- it's pretty small and space is limited, especially if you're going during a busy time. But overall, I had a great experience. The staff was friendly, the service was quick, and the food definitely hit the spot. I'll be back for sure when I'm craving ramen again! read more

I came here with my kid, but honestly, this place isn't very kid-friendly. It's quite small inside--probably more suitable for someone grabbing a quick bite alone or with a friend. The ramen itself was decent, no complaints there. But I also ordered two appetizers, and to be honest, they were forgettable. One of them was the squid (I think it was squid rings), and it was really tough--chewy like rubber. Overall, it's okay for a quick stop, but not ideal if you're dining with children or looking for a comfortable sit-down meal. read more

Ramen 101 is a great chain spot for ramen with a variety of soup options from mild to hot. But honestly, the star of the show for me is their hot food--especially the chicken teriyaki. The portion size is huge! I've seen more people order that than the ramen itself, and after trying it, I get why. I couldn't even finish mine and had to take the rest home. If you're in the Manteca area and not in the mood for fast food, this is a solid go-to to get your fix. Good food, great portions, and a nice change of pace. Highly recommend! read more

They were served with more of a hoisin-style sauce instead of the typical peanut sauce. A little different, but still had good flavor overall. My dad ordered the chicken sandwich, and it was much bigger than what you usually get at other places. He said it was really good and definitely filling. ($6.95) I ordered the mild beef stew pho. It wasn't quite what I'm used to--the meat wasn't the typical stew cut and had more fat and gristle, with only a few pieces of beef. It wasn't my favorite, but the broth itself had good flavor. It also came with rice noodles, carrots, and even a couple pieces of lettuce, which was a bit different. Looking around, other dishes coming out looked really good. I'd definitely come back to try one of their sandwiches next time. Service was quick approx 30 seats. The ambiance was casual and welcoming clean, relaxed, and a comfortable spot to sit down and enjoy a meal. Nothing fancy, but it had a nice local feel.
