Stopped by this ramen spot on a road trip and was pleasantly surprised by how good everything was. The Tonkotsu Ramen was definitely the highlight. The noodles are made fresh in-house, and you can really tell from the texture -- they had a great chew and held up well in the broth. The tonkotsu broth was rich and flavorful without feeling overly heavy or greasy. The chashu was tender and well-seasoned, and the soft-boiled egg and wood ear mushrooms rounded everything out nicely. I added a little chili paste for extra heat, and it worked perfectly. The Spicy Garlic Edamame was much better than I expected for a side dish. The edamame was cooked just right, still firm and plump, and coated in a flavorful garlic sauce with a nice kick. We also ordered the Gyoza, which had a beautifully crispy bottom and juicy filling inside. Simple but very well executed. The Pork Rice Bowl was huge and easily shareable. The sweet and savory sauce paired really well with the rice, making it a great comfort-food option alongside the ramen. Overall, everything tasted fresh and well prepared, and the portions were generous. Definitely a spot I'd stop by again if I'm in the area. read more

My wife and I were honestly surprised by how flavorful the broth was. Ramen Jo has the best tonkotsu broth in the Inland Empire, hands down. Kaz Ramen used to be our favorite, but ever since they went 24 hours, the quality and flavor just hasn't been the same. Ramen Koko in Highland is still pretty good, although I think the presentation and service could use some work. Sosogu Ramen in Redlands is another solid spot. After trying all of them, Ramen Jo's tonkotsu broth stands above the rest. It's rich, creamy, deeply flavorful, and the kind of broth you don't want to leave behind. So why only 4 stars instead of 5? The protein was the only thing holding this place back. The chashu and other beef in our bowls were overcooked and chewy. Instead of being tender and practically melting in your mouth, they took a bit of work to eat. If they can improve the quality of their protein, this would easily be a 5-star ramen spot. We'll definitely be back because that tonkotsu broth alone is worth the visit, and we're hoping the protein is better next time. read more

Attention all Foodies !!!This location is nestled in a small shopping center in San Bernardino close to the 210 freeway. Walking I was greeted and told I could sit anywhere!! Which is always nice.

The location seats about 30 people comfortably. I ordered the Tonkotsu ramen I definitely recommend this option the bone broth was delicious rich flavorful!

Ramen Jo - Jo Style Chicken Wing - Ramen Near Me - San Bernardino, California

Ramen Jo's is a small and humble location with huge flavor that will keep you coming back for more! The menu is condensed with limited selections, yet you will find something that satisfies. There is a selection of different ramens with choice of protein or vegetarian. You can also select add ons to top your ramen. Drinks are from a cooler. However, they're very reasonably priced and refreshing. The ramen broth is buttery and delicious. The food is outstanding. Request the side chiles. Everything pops in its own way. One taste and you know everything is going to be ok. Because it is small with limited seating, be prepared to wait. Get there early or be patient. It's worth it. read more

Working in Riverside for years, I still didn't know authentic Japanese ramen was right around the corner in San Bernardino Ramen Jo serves legit, hot ramen you rarely find in this area -- from miso to shoyu to tonkotsu, with protein choices. The chashu classic wins every time, especially with a soft-boiled egg Rice bowls come in big, filling portions, and crispy gyoza, sausage, and wings sealed the deal. Still shocked this gem is hiding in the opposite direction of the LA drive IG: socalhkfoodies read more

Very good, very delicious ramen, very hearty portions, very good bang for your buck, and a very good place to visit! It can get a little crowded in here with people waiting for a table to open up and we can see why, but it's something to be mindful of when you visit especially during the dinner rush. It's a small and cozy place so seating can be limited but there's plenty of parking outside though. Really glad I passed by, and I'll look forward to coming back again. Totally enjoyed everything! read more

Full review @itsamandachamberlain Tried this ramen spot recently and it definitely delivered. The broth had a lot of depth and flavor without being too heavy, and the noodles had a great texture--clearly fresh and cooked right. I went with the tonkotsu and also tried some gyoza on the side. Everything came out hot and pretty quickly, even though it was a bit busy. The portions were solid and actually filling. The place itself is small and lowkey, but that's part of the charm. Service was friendly and made sure we were taken care of throughout. Overall, it's a really reliable spot if you're craving ramen. I'd come back and try more of the menu. read more

Had lunch today at Ramen Jo. And was so disappointed dare I say somewhat pissed off. Ok, let me get into it. The Etamame was the absolute best item on the menu. The Chicken Wings had a tasty sauce BUT WERE STILL COLD when we bit into them ‍. Now let me get to the Ramen. ITS NOT RAMEN. It's SPAGHETTI. In fact when the chef came to our table to ask how we like the food, I said the noodles taste like spaghetti. His response was PROUDLY. "They are spaghetti noodles. We have a spaghetti press and make the noodles here! ". Bro if you gonna use a spaghetti noodle press then change the name to Spaghetti Jo and put some meatballs and sauce on top. Geez read more

I'm here now. This place is legit. I had the fried chicken appetizer, that came with a lemon and a garlic paste as a dip. It came out quickly, HOT, and super crunchy. Squeeze of lemon gives it a pop of flavor and brings down the heat. I also had the ramen, not the tonkatsu or the miso, I forgot the name. But it's one of the 3 most popular ramen. Clear broth. It was fantastic! The broth was delicious, the noodles were soft and tasty, I hadn't tasted noodles like that before. I ordered pork as my protein and honestly, that elevated the already delicious dish. The pork was charred, either by intention or accident but it transformed the ramen. Most other ramen shops have boiled pork, this had a great char that changed the flavor of the pork and ramen. The price is reasonable and I would come back here. The service was excellent as well. Everyone was very attentive, and gave you space as well. They gave suggestions and brought out the spice tray to add as much as you'd like. The Serrano chili salsa in there was delicious. The ambience reminds me of Japan. Wooden chairs and table, very reminiscent of some of the ramen shops in Japan. The place looked clean, even if the exterior looked a tad bit questionable. But that's the great thing about socal eateries. You never know what hidden gem you'll find. Overall, I would return and I would recommend. read more

My fiancé was feeling sick and she was craving ramen so we looked this place up and decided to call in a phone order and the service was quick and easy.

The restaurant itself is small and cozy and perfect for late night snack or date night. The food was deliciously, we will definitely be returning. read more

An amazing ramen place in San Bernadino I couldn't tell from the outside! This place makes their own noodle from scratch and you can see it through the open (glass window) kitchen. The cook was very friendly and they're proud to show the noodle making process from the kitchen. I can feel the difference here from packed noodles elsewhere. The strand was very smooth and bouncy at the same time. It's similar to hand pulled noodles if I were to compare but smoother. Totally recommend for ramen before going up Big Bear! read more

Ramen Jo - Ramen Near Me - San Bernardino, California

Solid DIY-style ramen spot in San Bernardino--worth checking out! We decided to check out Ramen Jo after seeing it featured on some Instagram posts from people we follow. There aren't many ramen spots in San Bernardino, so having one locally made it a must-try for us. Ramen Experience: This place has a DIY-style approach to ramen, which makes it a little different from the typical ramen shop. You start by choosing your soup base (like tonkotsu or miso or vegetable etc), Then select your protein, And finally, add optional toppings (like egg, chashu, black garlic oil, etc.) for an extra charge. The standard bowl comes with fish cake, green onion, and bamboo shoot--so if you're expecting the usual fully-loaded ramen by default, just know you'll have to build it out a bit yourself. I ordered the tonkotsu ramen and really enjoyed it. The broth was flavorful and rich, and the portion was just right. My husband had the shoyu ramen and liked it, but mentioned he wished the noodles were more firm--they were a little softer than he prefers. Drinks & Extras: Drinks are all bottled or canned--they don't serve tap water. If you want water, it's $0.50 for a bottle, which is something to note if you're expecting free water like at most dine-in places. Space & Atmosphere: The restaurant is small with limited seating, so it's a more casual and quick-dining kind of place. That said, it was clean and well-kept during our visit. Final Thoughts: If you're in San Bernardino and craving ramen, Ramen Jo is a solid option. It's different from traditional ramen joints, but that build-your-own style can be fun once you know how it works. The broth and toppings were tasty, and the place is doing something a little different in an area that doesn't have many ramen options. We'll definitely be back. read more

i can confidently say Ramen Jo is one of the Inland Empire's underrated ramen spots the broth here is rich, flavorful, and super comforting without being overly salty. you can tell they actually care about the quality -- the noodles are made fresh in-house, and the texture is perfect: chewy, bouncy, and so satisfying. i ordered the ramen and a few appetizers, and everything hit: * chicken + sausage + rice cakes (so good together) * gyoza -- crispy on the outside, juicy inside * rice bowls that are surprisingly flavorful and great for sharing the portions are generous, the vibe is cozy, and the service is friendly. plus, prices are really fair for the quality you're getting. if you're in the IE and craving ramen, Ramen Jo is definitely a must-try. i'll be coming back for sure read more

Okay, the people are nice but THEY DO NOT KNOW HOW TO COOK Ramen. Okay, first the noodles are spaghetti noodles. Newsflash, they are not the same as Ramen. My mom told they chef like hey, these taste like spaghetti noodles, he says oh yes we have a spaghetti machine. Sir, Ramen noodles are handcrafted they are not the same as spaghetti noodles. The edamame was great. The chicken wings...well the inside was cold. I wanted to switch Gyoza for wings but the Gyoza was already made. The chef came out and said don't worry I will still get you wings. Doesn't that sound like oh I will give you a free taste, nope charged me full price and wings were ice cold in the middle. The broth was so so, but let's be honest. I go to Mitsuwa and make ramen for me and my bf all the time, it tastes better and more fresh. If I find a Mitsuwa and get their noodles, spruce up some broth, add some veggies bok choy etc, this place has nothing on what I make at home. Also, Ramen is traditionally Chinese/Japanese and yes, we have been taking on other cultures food but there was not one Japanese person there. The issue is, if they had sought counsel from a Japanese or Chinse chef they would have known that what they are serving is not Ramen. It tasted like spaghetti with red sauce. I wanted to like it sooo bad but Shin Sun Gumi still is the best. read more

Ramen Jo is one of the best ramen spots by far. The shrimp ramen is very good. They also have delicious rice bowls and appetizers. The mushroom rice bowl is my favorite and the rice cakes and sausage appetizer with that sweet sauce they add on top tastes really good. Their spicy garlic edamames are one of the best as well. They always have amazing customer service. The staff is always fast, friendly, and welcoming. I feel that their prices are very reasonable for the amount of food you get. I highly recommend trying out Ramen Jo. read more

Went first thing in the morning right when they opened. Got the shoyu with pork and everything about it was great! The broth was savory and hit the spot.

But the thing about ramen, texture and taste is different for everyone. For San Bernardino this is a good place to get some ramen. read more

Disappointed. Brother had shared a video where it was #6 on a top 8 of places to eat in the IE. And coworker had mentioned it was top 10 in the nation. Gyoza was good. Husband's tonkatsu was ok. But my miso was probably one of the worst ramen I've had - and I've had a handful of ramen in search for the best one. I wanted to love it but it fell short. read more

If I can give this place another star I would. I love how to set up is on the inside, it's nice and personal. They have this awesome Ramen machine that makes fresh Ramen from scratch and they marinate their sauce for the Ramen so it taste a certain way. You can taste the seasoning in all of the foods and it is very delicious. The Chinese sausage along with the rice cakes where have you wanting more and they put a sweet sauce over it which takes it to another level. The pork Ramen super delicious. I loved it, and it had me slurping the whole time. I just wanted to drink the broth. The fried dumplings is also super good. I approve this place. read more
