When specifically ask for chicken to be cut up into small pieces for a five year old to eat & you get back huge cuts of chicken a grown adult would have trouble biting it really annoying. However the food is excellent & conveniently located with decent size portions so that’s what keeps me coming back.

They have a wide varieties of food here. From ramen to bento boxes. So many options to try different food. Ramen here is decent and the service is good. They make it good for the customer, meaning they cook it fresh for you as any restaurants should to experience the quality of taste. The place has plenty of space and its not too packed and parking on the back is not a problem. Try it out!

Waiting is not long but ordering ahead helps the food is great and they always give generous portions

Great ramen! I would recommend the garlic broth with pork. I am opting for extra corn and less fresh garlic next time. The edamame was salty and fresh. We got the lumpia, but I want to try the gyoza. The service is fast if you're dining in. I was happy that they had both green and jasmine tea.

I’ve gotten take out here twice and liked the black garlic ramen & tonkotsu ramen 4/5. Portions are large & packaged very well. I got rangoons last time which I thought were too sweet I wouldn’t get them again. For the ramen I got the highest spice level but thought it was low to moderately spicy since I have a preference for spicier food and like it when it’s really hot. Big bowl of cozy on a cold day for sure!

We tried Ramen 101 for lunch since our normal ramen spot was closed. I'm giving them 2 stars because my broth & noodles tasted good. BUT... I ordered the black garlic pork ramen. The pros: good flavor on the broth Noodles were not soggy Egg was decent (not perfect but good enough) The cons: the pork was awful - mine was over cooked & full of fat. So disappointing One co-worker ordered the seafood ramen & said it was bland and not good. My other 2 co-workers ordered Hawaiian BBQ plates and none of them finished their plates saying it was horrible. So next time I request ramen for lunch and our normal spot is closed we'll choose something else.

McDonald's of noodle spots. The most mediocre ramen I've ever had that didn't have the word "Top" before it. Noodles were meh, broth was meh.

Food was really good but the lady who was there in the evening was not friendly and lacks customer service for that reason alone not sure if I would be visiting again.

I received cold veggies and dry pork dumped on top of fresh noodles. The tonkatsu ramen was bland and watery and every bite reminded me that most of these ingredients were just dumped out of a fridge. I make better ramen at home. I've been to other locations and had great ramen so I'm not sure where this one went wrong. I recommend avoiding this location.
