I'm obsessed with Ramen Dojo! Being just 15 minutes from my place, I finally took the plunge and tried it after months of recommendations. The service is great, and the Ramen is AMAZING! I've tried 4 different plates, and each one is a favorite. I'm hooked now - definitely worth checking out!

Super delicious ramen in San Mateo. I recommend getting there a little early since it took us some time to get seated.

Very tasty!

They make great ramen here. I got the garlic pork miso broth. But I had to leave a review because of our server. She had such great energy, and was very helpful when we were choosing our items. She just seemed to be having fun, wanted to help, and she made our great meal even better. We love Ramen Dojo.

Still a great place, carried so much good memories for me. 5 star, but only 4 star for the food. I don't have any particular complain, but just a feeling the ramen is somehow different from 10 years ago. Something is missing in its spirit. I couldn't tell exact what, but just a feeling.
There are also some changes in the menu. Seemed they invented new menus (like other Ramen places here, as I observed), but those don't feel like authentic Japanese ramen anymore.

Small ramen spot with great customer service, Everything in the menu is delicious! PS. The extra spicy broth is definitely not made for the weak ;), if you’re adventurous and don’t mind the burn, I would definitely recommend getting it.

It is sad and happy not to wait in line anymore. Before, I had to wait for an hour sometimes. I don’t what happened. Maybe people were just tired of waiting? Now, I can come in have a bowl of ramen whenever I want. So good for me. Gone in minutes.

Service was great. Hospitality was awesome. The waitress was super good, explained the menu, and patient. There was only one vegetarian option and it was good. I hope they add more vegetarian options to the menu. Food was prepared fresh and tasty and spice levels were as expected/ordered.

Excellent ramen is all about the broth and this stuff is the real deal. So good!
Cozy, nice small restaurant which can accommodate up to 36 people. You can easily find parking around the blocks. I went at noon on Monday and the place was 75% full. I was seated quickly at the bar area and my order was taken within 5 minutes. My ramen was served within the next 10 minutes. I got #5 on their new menu, the soft-shelled crab with garlic pork tonkotsu soup. It’s very flavorful and savory. The soft-shelled crab is to die for and the noodles have that right balance of softness and tenderness. Overall, very pleasant experience.

Garlic Soy Ramen is my favorite among many. Tonkotsu is also prominent as you’d expect. Can’t go wrong here.
Food was good and came out quickly. Service was awful. Rude, and the server mistakenly added a $20 item to the receipt. I pointed it out to the server, and she refunded the payment and had us redo the transaction. When we did it the second time, she tipped herself 18% on the machine! I have never seen a server do that before.

Haven't been back in years, but still think this is the best ramen I've ever tried. Their garlic pork broth (or variations) is just spot on so rich and savory...
