    Tako Yaki
    Yun C.

    Food: 4.5 Ramen was tasty and takoyaki was amazing. Seriously, get the takoyaki--crispy, not too much sauce, and a good sprinkle of bonito flakes. Broth is a tad salty and portions could be bigger. Service: 5 Very polite and quick with food. Ambiance: 4 Nothing super out of the ordinary, but the restaurant is cute and has nice lighting.

    Shoyu Ramen
    Akshita P.

    got a Spicy Shoyu ramen and took out pork - they offered to sub chicken and I went for it! The chicken was great, small pieces well fried. I liked the shoyu broth as well, although the spice wasn't as strong as I would've liked. The noodles itself were well cooked and the egg and fish cake was great. I would've elected for a bit more veggies but overall decent bowl of ramen. Not too many options in Madison but this was a good place to go! Large portion for a reasonable price! FyI 10% Discount for cash payment.

    Tonkotsu Ramen
    Ed H.

    Came to Ramen Station to continue to sample Madison's ramen joints. We came early, before a concert and were the only ones there although another group came in shortly thereafter. TBH, the decor is a bit dingy and run down with some worn-out chair cushions and stains on the cushions in the wall banquet. Service was fairly efficient but lacked any friendliness. We started with the Gyoza and it was ok not great, a bit soggy. I tasted the Lady's miso soup and the broth seemed a bit funky. I had the Tonkotsu ramen as my main. Unfortunately it was a mixed bag. The broth looked good with a creamy color, but was thin and watery and had little flavor. The noodles also were very bland. The toppings were alright: corn, scallions, bamboo shoots, nori, sprouts, fish cake and half a soft boiled egg. Unfortunately the nori was completely soggy and disintegrated. The soft boiled egg was legit, tasty. The chashu was pretty good. Small pieces but braised and with a very nice flavor and although they were small there were about half a dozen of them. So a quite mixed bag of ramen with some highs and lows. The lady had the stir fried veg and liked them. Mixed experience here. Don't see any reason to return.

    Best lamb skewers too!

    Incredible place, even better than the ones in Tokyo or Kyoto. Their Tonkatsu is carefully boiled in broth and the owner is so knowledgeable and nice. He is patient and gave us the process of how to make the broth which took a lot of time and his consideration. Thank you and thank you for such a delicious food. Soup base is out of the world! Ambience is incredible too, cool air and ramen taste even better.

    Chicken with Scallion
    Troy R.

    The dining experience was very fast and pleasant. We were seated and served immediately. The food was very tasty, the gyoza was gone before I even remembered to snag a picture! We loved the skewers and ramen. The spicy ramen was nicely hot, and may not be hot enough for heat lovers but was a nice blend for me. The flavorful broth and good selection of the menu made for a great dining experience I would highly recommend for lunch or a low-key dinner. The house sake was not as smooth as some sakes I've tried, but very good nonetheless. They do offer a discount for cash payments, so remember to bring some with you. Definitely worth a try!!

    Awesome food. They needed some help with workers. They had one guy running the whole floor. That said though, everything was awesome and we would go back in a heartbeat

    Sesame Ramen with Chicken
    Nikita M.

    Went on a Saturday at 11:30am, not very crowded. The rush picked up around 12:30pm, so plan accordingly. The restaurant is very cute, feels very homey and the kitchen smells amazing. The server was very attentive and food came fast. The gyoza was amazing!! Loved the flavor of the meat, very well cooked. The ramen was well made, all the ingredients tasted wonderful. Only note would be that the level of spice was quite low for my liking, so I'd say maybe go up a level of spice than you normally would. The food to broth ratio was very well made and I would definitely come back again.

    pork katsu curry
    Lenny S.

    Had gyoza and spring rolls as appetizers were okay. Wish they provided small plates so we can eat leisurely rather than stuff the entire piece into our mouths. Pork Katsu Curry, curry was standard fare and was decently sized however the pork katsu would've been better if it were on top of the curry. It was soggy by the time it got to the table. Miso Ramen lacked the strong flavor of miso that I'm used to. . Tonkatsu Ramen was the star of the meal. Strong flavor of pork and bone. I would get this again. Chashu that was served with the ramens was good as was the shoyu egg. Service was good and friendly. at the time of visit paying cash reduced bill by 10% which was a bonus. one thing was the parking lot was pretty slippery due to below freezing temps after.

    Got exactly what I ordered. Shoyu Ramen with Tofu. Service was Quick. Friendly. Efficient . Soup was nice and temperature Hot. Tasty broth! Loved that I could sub Tofu for Pork at no charge. Thanks for a great lunch as I took a break from being with family over at SSM! I had to take half of the ramen home as it was such a big serving!

    fried oyster
    Sophie Y.

    2nd time here within the month coz we love their ramen. Ordered beef and squid skewers; wouldn't recommend them as beef were way overcooked and extremely hard to chew. Not much flavors on squid either. Will stick to ramen from now on. It's their specialty: Ramen Station, right?

    It feels like they are cutting corners. The tonkotsu is really thin and the noodles get soggy whiostill in your bowl.

    The food in the evening is not fresh. Yuck. Ramen should be cooked or at least warmed up. We got refrigerated soup

    If you go for ramen, your best bet is to go for the tonkotsu or miso ramen. They make their noodles…read morein house, so they are fresh and springy. And they adjust the noodle thickness based upon the broth type, so that's good. But if you like shoyu ramen, this really isn't their strong point; it will be more like a lighter tonkotsu broth with thicker noodles. They also offer dan dan men and chuka soba in the summertime, but it's not really the Japanese style. They have both indoor and outdoor seating, and the staff is very nice and attentive. Service is quick. I stopped by on the way to Breese Field and it was a delicious quick dinner. The bamboo shoots are made with a canned variety, instead of dehydrated, and the marinated egg is really just soft-boiled. So if you're a ramen snob, set your expectations accordingly. Even still, it was a solid bowl of ramen

We decided to…read moreput our name on the list and run across the street to IO for drinks and games while we waited. Once we got called, we were seated at the bar which was a great experience. Our server was attentive and filled up the many diet soda refills of my partner and my water refills. We got dumplings which were delicious, then Ramen, then mochi ice cream to close it out. The ramen was flavorful and the dumplings were the star of the show. They were juicy and delicious. I love that it's in a house-like building and there are many different rooms. It feels cozy and comfortable. I will return again for ramen. It's my #2 place in Madison!

    Most recent visit December 2025 First visit Labor Day 2024…read moreReview of 4 stars encompasses all visits. The needs improvement: Bathroom lacks hot water. Soap dispenser was suspect. The good During my 2025 winter visit they respectfully placed all the unhoused/homeless individual belongings in a bag and put it to the side. This shows empathy, heart and respect. The bad: Kid visited without me and they were charged an excess fee for broth left behind on ramen. This is wild. The best thing you can get: Tempura shrimp (not greasy, light and flavorful) ** Sushi. I partook December 2025 and can't stop thinking about how filling the role was and tasty and made fresh + fast. The rice just rolled into my mouth while everything was done well. 1 roll was filling that's how thoughtfully curated it was made. Both time service was good but the most recent visit the service was personable and talkative which I welcomed as we shared an affinity for their tempura shrimp. Great value for what they offer. I'd much rather have this buffet setup akin to the Italian buffet setup versus a hot bar with stale food. Make it to order. Great variety. Be weary of the server that will decide to overcharge you based on what they perceive to be waste.
