Dohatsuten Ramen & Tapas

After a visit to a nearby gallery we had lunch here. A great waitress who got the complex order spot on. I think I had the signature ramen dish. I prefer spicier / tastier but it was fine.

Servings are generous. Two servers for about 40 customers inside plus outside too. Had to flag down a server to take our order or to get anything we needed. We ordered tapas and Asahi's Chasu Ramen. Again, servings are generous, but the way the food is plated definitely lacks the Japanese artistic touch.

The veggie ramen was bland and they don’t have an option of increasing the spice level while preparing. You have to do it yourself through the chilli powder and oil. It was very average in tase although the portion size was really good and pricing was reasonable, the service was excellent and also the place has a good vibe to it.

Seafood ramen was tasty and well-balanced, though it didn’t quite reach that unforgettable “wow” level for me, would like more umami flavor.

Large portions, but bland food (Chicken Karaage & Chashu don). Service was fine, outdoor seating was fine. Too cold indoors though.

If you love seafood, then the spicy garlic butter seafood ramen is the one for you! So delicious 😋

Delicious ramen with generous portions. Friendly and helpful staff also. I'm super stuffed right now but I'd love to come back! Nice outdoor seating area but there are also plenty of tables inside.

The food was delicious and came really fast. The pork was very thick and yummy, and the noodles tasted great. The waitresses were kind and helpful, and the music and atmosphere outside was amazing. Five stars! Would come again.

Good location, bad service, okay food. Took 20 minutes for someone to take my order. Food was presented well, but onigiri (flavored) was bland/oversaturated.

Go in for a quick lunch with a specific cheap (Ramen) purpose. Don't go in exploring the menu, or expensive order.

The classic Dohatsuten ramen was good but not mind-blowing. I’ve had better elsewhere. This one is lighter flavored if that’s what you prefer.

The Oyako don was comforting and flavorful but lacked a punch.

Sitting outside when the weather is nice is a wonderfully pleasant experience which makes the trip here worth it.

I’m surprised how bad this place is. The Tsukemen dipping broth is a complete failure. The Gyutan Shio is so dry and overcooked. Please please please stop this evil recipe!

The ramen is great, except that every ramen comes with spicy bamboo shoots, which are really spicy to me. I even asked them to remove the bamboo shoots today but they still forgot.
