    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.

    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.

    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.

    5 meals, 6 apps, 1 side rice.

    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.

    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!

    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

    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.

    Chicken Ramen with Black Garlic Oil

    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.

    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.

    Unagi donburi
    Nobuyuki S.

    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.

    I requested for to make the noodles firmer, but Noodles are soggy just like top ramen. Tonkatsu broth is not bad. Overall, not a true ramen.

    An amazing home-y spot for Asian comfort food in Manteca :)…read more For appetizers, we got the bang bang shrimp and spicy wontons and both were delicious. I liked how crispy and sweet yet tangy the bang bang shrimp was. This was probably my favorite item we tried! The chili wontons weren't too spicy and they were really generous with the amount of shrimp inside. Shrimp & wonton noodle soup was def a comfort meal growing up, so I'm happy they had that here! Portion size was very generous and broth was tasty. Noodles were cooked well too, and I liked the filling of the wonton. We also got the curry ramen with katsu chicken. The chicken was sooo crispy, it was one of my favorite items. The bacon kimchi flavor had a nice spicy kick to it. The beef chili oil noodles was tasty and I liked the small beef bits. The bang bang chicken had the same sauce as the bang bang shrimp, but I liked how the entree came with rice too. The philly cheesesteak eggrolls were super crispy, and if you're a cheese lover, you need to try this! Overall, a really solid spot for Asian fusion food, and the servers were all extremely nice and patient as well. Service was really quick!

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.
