It was raining and I was in the mood for a bowl of spicy hot ramen, this totally hit the spot. I got the spicy tonkotsu ramen, it was packaged nice and neat and was delivered with no leaks which have often happened when I’ve gotten ramen delivered at other places. I like when the broth comes in a separate container, and the ratio of broth to noodles was perfect. I also really enjoyed the noodles. The broth does tend to settle at the bottom of the container and I’d recommend giving it a stir before pouring into the noodles. Although delicious, there seemed to be pools of oil in the ramen? Probably caught in the photo. Usually even the spiciest level is not spicy enough for my Indian taste buds so I requested it to be extra spicy and asked them to leave out the seaweed for which I was charged an extra couple of $ due to a “special request“ which I thought was a bit weird and I haven’t had that happen at other places. It was definitely a good level of spicy, had a kick of garlic and ginger & id probably eat it again.

Ordered from DoorDash. Creamy veggie ramen. More noodles than anything else. The broth was extremely salty and was not creamy. Had a woody earthy taste. The noodles Mimicked top ramen and we’re sticking together. The seaweed salad tasted fresh from the ocean and was served over a mixed green

I ordered from DoorDash a black tonkotsu ramen and the spicy tonkotsu ramen. Both of the ramens were really good. Loved the pickle ginger on the ramen it was a nice touch.

First off, the service was excellent and very attentive. I didn't want for anything as I ate here.The tempura shrimp was good. They were on the smaller side, and a little tough but I love shrimp tempura so I had no furhter complaints and happily gobbled them up.For the main dish, I got the veggie miso ramen and idk what I was expecting. It was literally a big ol' bowl of miso soup with kale, tofu and noodles. So it was rather bland. There were no chili flakes or soy sauce on the table to liven it up, and admitedly, I didn't ask for any. The flavor should already exsist without those things, but maybe it's my fault for ordering the miso broth.I ordered the tempura shrimp curry to-go and was much much happier with the dish! MUCH happier. I would say that it made up for the ramen, but not completly. The flavor was really good and I didn't feel the need to add anything to it! I especially liked the addition of the pickled ginger. The tanginess of the ginger cut through the richness of the roux to make a craveable flavor combination. Overall, it's an okay option if you're in the area.

It was Plaid Day in the Lakeshore area, which lucky for us meant Free Parking. This is a small quaint restaurant with nice decor & atmosphere.Orders:#4 Spicy Tonkotsu Tantanmen $19Rich,creamy spicy sesame bone broth w/marinated ground chicken, soft boiled egg,scallion, Bok Choy & corn. As described in the menu it was exactly that & generous portions as well. A very soothing & simple ramen bowl that gives you full satisfaction as you slurp up all that delicious broth into your belly.#11 Katsu Curry $16.50House Special Japanese & carrot topped w.green onions,shredded nori, pickled ginger served with rice. For the protein I selected the Chicken Cutlet. Everything is consistent with the menu description & the portion for the Cutlet was huge. Sometimes size doesn't matter it's the quality & Dozen Ramen has exactly that.A nice spot to revisit!

Service was really attentive. Food was decentThe ramen came out warm and the flavor was ok. My friend said the curry flavor was too tomato-y and unbalanced.

This was THE WORST ramen I've ever had. Top Ramen is better. The broth was disgusting, the noodles soggy and the chashu pork was inedible...fatty and bad tasting. There is no distinction between the broths, despite the menu description. The ramen came immediately, meaning the noodles were already cooked. The broth lukewarm and the egg was COLD. it was terrible

We always come back for their curry! Their katsu curry and steamed chicken curry is amazing. Portions are generous, as well. We have also tried the chicken gyoza, which is fried very nicely. Would definitely recommend trying this place if you're looking for good Japanese curry in the area!

Loved this place. Good basic ramen recipes. Extra greens and pretty spicy. Lots of vegetarian options.Vegetarian options: There is an entire vegetarian page on the menu.

The Ramen was very delicious as were our side dishes. This restaurant is worth finding the staff is attentive and accommodating.

This rain y'all. Will it ever end?I have no idea, but in the meantime there's Dozo Ramen. I appreciate their consistently reliable delivery and quality food. I'm a fan of the spicy tantanmen and recommend it, especially if you're dealing with a case of the sniffles (or worse!).Today I ordered the chicken katsu curry with a side of tofu and veggies and was very pleased with both the food and the portion size (enough left over for a second lunch later in the day!). My husband also liked his chicken teriyaki. Thanks you Dozo Ramen for making the frightful weather more bearable with your warm and comforting food.

My partner and I really enjoyed our takeout here. My beef ramen was really good -- solid noodles and tender beef. The broth was savory and a touch sweet. I would definitely recommend.
