Ramen 101 SAN LEANDRO

Their Chicken Karaage is soooo good 😋 paired it up with their tasty sauce. Must try!

I ordered the Black Garlic Ramen. For me it is good. They were generous with their toppings. I asked for medium spicy but it didn’t taste spicy at all.

I also tried to taste Tonkotsu Ramen and Pork Ribs Ramen which my friends ordered. They were alright. They’re not as flavorful compared to the other ramen houses. (Well, it’s just my opinion tho.)

The wait time is decent. We didn’t wait too long for our orders to be served. Well, i guess we came when it’s not rush hour because there’s only us there. 😅 But when we were about to finish with our meal, the place was almost full.

The servers are also nice.

Pretty mid, good broth and noodles, but very little toppings (even the corn) and charge for everything, tiny pieces of pork too

the chicken kiraage was also pretty bad, tons of small burnt fried pieces in old oil, more fried pieces than actual chicken

Not really that cheap either for what you’re getting… I used to come here a lot more and now remember why I stopped

I usually take out and this place is so reliable and consistently tasty and hot. Also I'm a sucker for their spam musubi. My favorites are the tonkatsu ramen, but the chicken ramen is also very good

Food was so basic and dull. They don’t even know the 101 of making ramen I think. Very basic. Service was fine.

Service is good. It is fast. But the noodle is not firm enough. The soup taste like chicken soup not pork.

Great ramen. I had the chicken ramen in the veggie broth. My friends had the seafood ramen and tonkotsu ramen. We all liked it. The spice was also perfect.

Vegetarian options: Vegan ramen option is available and taste is good.

Was looking for some food and saw this place had good reviews. Unfortunately, it was a miss for me. I got the tonkotsu ramen and it wasn't very good. The broth was okay but had a weird after taste which I think was from the old bean sprouts on top. The pork slices were thin, small and rubbery. Food was really quick as it was completely empty inside. I think the speed might have been for the worst. Nothing to note about the service, cashier took my order and asked about spiciness level and that was it.

I order to go a couple items from the menu, the Black Garlic Ramen, Kara-age and gyoza. I opted to make the ramen spicy it wasn’t spicy at lot had a lot of flavor but it tasted something kinda burnt so I’m not sure if that it’s always like that or not but over all I did like the ramen. The chicken Kara-age was so good specially when it was dipped in the spicy mayo. The gyoza were really good crunchy but soft and lots of flavor.

For the tonkotsu there are good things like how quickly it is served the portion of the pork slice, portion size. But I wish it was more creamy, and the egg was not hard boiled and cold. Spice level was solid. I would like to come back to try a more creamy ramen. The squid was also good but it was a lot to eat. Spend 27 dollars for the squid and the ramen, it might be overly on the price but that's okay. There was parking and it wasn't busy. You pay up front too before eating.
*toilet seat needs to be fix

Vegetarian options: There are vegetarian ramen with soy broth

Parking: Shared with the plaza but plentiful.
