Doragon Eatery - Doragon Hellfire Broth - Ramen Near Me - Ashland, Massachusetts

Wow. I must say this food was terrible. My brother and I had dinner here. We mainly came because my brother wanted the spring rolls. Of course they were out of spring rolls. We order the wings. They were out of one of the sauces we ordered. The ramen we ordered was gross the pork was definitely under cooked. The chicken was rather chewy. The ramen noodle were super soggy. The service was super slow. I would not recommend this place to anyone. read more

I bought a few things and a fresh roll with shrimp. Got a slimy bite on first roll. Dissected second one on video and found two translucent white raw shrimps in it. I liked you guys. The big guy with the beard wasn't there. It's always good when he's there. I'll be back sometime.... perhaps someday. Very very upset though. I'll send you the video on request here's some vid caps . I need a response on this. It's tempting to post the video in Facebook. Damn dorogon. You really blew it. Damn. read more

This is some of the best ramen I've ever had, period. I've been to japan and have had ramen many times and I would say that the tonkatsu broth is the closest to what I've had in japan. I recommend doragon eatery to all my friends who are looking for a good bowl of ramen. The gyoza are excellent also, can't wait to go back and try some of the other things on the menu. read more

Doragon Ramen has some of the best ramen, wings and appetizer items I have ever had! The owners are very accommodating especially through the pandemic, never ending staffing shortages and increasing costs. If you haven't tried them...you must. If you can't be supportive to those businesses struggling don't frequent them and then write a rude review because you don't like their rules. The customer isn't right anymore....that privilege has been lost! read more

Outstanding food! They really focus on freshness and quality. This place is on par if not better than all the Ramen restaurants i

Nice ramen place.. was disappointed with the service today. It was their first year anniversary apparently and they offered one ramen bowl on the house. However the servers were kind of rude and asking why we had to order more food when we are already eating. We had 2 ramens and wanted to order another appetizer since that wasn't enough for the 3 of us. The food was overall fine. Chive dumplings have been my go to but was burnt today. Tonkutsu isn't my type - it was rich in broth though Doragon was nice Shrimp tempura was nice - a little oily Gyazo was more than deep fried - but no complaints on the taste read more

Chive dumplings are a must try. Good ramen joint with great staff. To preface, I have high spice tolerance. If you order the Dragon Ramen, level 1 is quite hot and enjoyable. Level 2 was painful and borderline enjoyable. I don't plan on trying level 3. read more

Ramen is one of my favorite dishes. When I travel, the first thing that I am going to try in a new city is ramen. I've visited a lot of places all over the east coast, including NYC (the are more than 50 ramen places, lol), and Noodle City is one of my favorite. I live in 40 minutes, but it still worth to drive this distance and get one of the tastiest ramens in Boston. Moreover, they have the best Japanese Takoyaki - balls, topped with octopus, Takoyaki sauce, and Japanese mayonnaise. It's delicious. They are HUGE and full of octopus - number one on my list. Unfortunately, these guys are very far from Boston. I hope, one day, they open a new location there, cause a lot of people to lose a chance to try the best ramen in Boston! Also, they do ramen "to go," another excellent service. It's super convenient when you can bring hot, tasty, rich broth with noodles and all topping home, turn on your favorite show, and enjoy it with your family! Enjoy, read more

Delicious umami flavor on their ramen noodles and broth, the service is attentive, the ambiance is cozy in a small setting (but don't let that fool you - they're big on service). The food is delicious! A must try if you're in the vicinity! read more

Wow wow wow amazing. Last time we had such a great Ramen soup it was in Japan. Highly recommend, very clean and nice, simple menu. Even though they are far from me I am planing to take my family and friends back! Loved the place. read more

Ramen here is very good Authentic flavors and a broad selection with many spice levels. The only reason I am giving 4 stars instead of 5 is that the pork that went with my ramen was very tough. It didn't have that nice pork and balance of rendered fat that I expected. Maybe I should have said pork belly. The meat was tough in texture. My sister and I both agreed that the noodles were very fresh and cooked nicely. She had a wider cut noodle and I had more of stringy noodles- both were good. Takoyaki appetizer was also good and crispy! More eel sauce on top would be good or also served on side. Pricing for smoothie was a bit high but it was refreshing because it was very hot that day. I am interested to try some of their other items on the menu. Likely for protein choice I would be choosing shrimp or chicken next time! read more

Best authentic high quality ramen I've ever had in my life, let alone New England. Great for my gluten-free vegetarian/pescetarian partner. Low key and non-pretentious. Owners love dog's! The place is just perfect kind of spot. read more

Food was great! They did a great job of packing and dividing the food. I highly recommend this place!

I guess it's an okay place for tourists or visitors if you're in the suburbs and don't have a better option. Think of this place like McRamen. People who don't know food very well will rave about it. Everything here that isn't meat comes out of a packet or a jar, which the owner seems to think is how the "real Japanese" do things which...no. Ramen is an ancient and important tradition, and while it's fine to have a fast food version of that, that's what this is. Not high quality dining. There are also disturbing local rumors about the behavior of the owner towards his employees (especially the young men...) so maybe be careful if you bring your teenage son here, too. read more

Stay away. Although the food is average, I would be fine with never returning to this establishment again. If you order take out - tack on at least 45 minutes to the "promised time." The staff is also extremely unprofessional and rude to customers. This place is also way over priced for what it is. The owner should also be banned from Facebook (mainly in the Chew on This Metrowest group) because all he does is make excuses for this restaurants poor customer service. This place deserves to go out of business. Literally only giving this 1 star so this review can get posted. Doragon deserves to get negative 20 stars. read more

Great food and incredibly friendly staff. When I was new to the neighborhood and sick as a dog, they made me congee off their winter menu during the summer months at the request of my wife. It hit the spot and helped my recovery and I have not forgotten the kindness to this day! read more

The wings are fantastic here and I highly recommend both the TanTan, Green Curry and Hellfire Ramens! Excellent customer service and great prices. read more

Best ramen around. One of the best restaurants around for that matter. Fresh, inspired chef/owner who clearly cares about quality, amazing taste. It's a home in the wall place with limited seating, and is ALWAYS full with a waiting line. That should say enough. Call ahead. Takeout tonight. Delicious as always. Go, keep them busy, and let's hope they can expand and maintain their core values! read more

Doragon Eatery - Lame photo, but so good the take out bowl is empty! Should be that say it all? Lol - Ramen Near Me - Ashland, Massachusetts

Doragon is a great local eatery with superb food and very caring and hard working owners. They've done their level best to deal with covid challenges this past year but it appears that there are some very uncaring, selfish people who don't understand staffing shortages and that sometimes mistakes happen...like 100 orders coming in online in 30 minutes. It's a small place and it's difficult to believe that people can't be more understanding and realize that the owners wouldn't purposely make customers wait a long time for their orders. We should all celebrate and praise this local business for the phenomenal job they've done over this past year. They pivoted and also became a place where you could buy provisions, veggies, meat, etc. when it was SO scary and difficult to go shopping without having to worry about crowded stores and a raging pandemic with no end in sight. They deserve a FIVE star rating for caring and helping their community, also for their DELICIOUS food. Here's a photo of the creamy vegetable Japanese ramen with fish cakes dish that I recently had! Delicious! read more

We chose to dine at Noodle City on a cold Tuesday night. We arrived at about 5:30pm to find the restaurant packed. Every table full and we had to wait about 15 minutes for a table. Very promising that it was this full on an early Tuesday night! Atmosphere- while it's not fancy, it is clean has nice decor, and a good music selection. Approximately 13 tables and a view into the kitchen uptown entering. Food- we ordered a wing sampler (Korean black garlic, Vietnamese, and Thai peanut), and the spring rolls. -the ramen took about 45 minutes to dine out, but it was well worth it! We both ordered the Tonkotsu ramen which had a good amount of pork and noodles, along with peppers to make it spicy. The broth was very flavorful and creamy, and I wish there was more of it! -wings- we didn't find the Thai peanut or black garlic to have much flavor which was disappointing, but the Vietnamese wings were fantastic. -crispy rolls- standard rolls, but tasty, with crunchy veggies inside and a sweet chili sauce. Service- the service is the reason for the missing star. I was not impressed with either sever as they were short and not very friendly. We stacked our dirty appetizer plates after eating the spring rolls, as we wanted new plates for the wings. The waitress put our stack on her tray, and then put them back on the table for us for the wings. At that point we definitely needed new plates! As the food was really good, I hope the service is better on our next trip. Overall- overall a good experience. Great food but mediocre service. I did appreciate how they gave me two containers to take my leftover ramen home, so I could separate the noodles. Looking forward to trying more ramen dishes! read more

You think you'll have to go to Boston to enjoy some good Japanese soup noodles. You're wrong. A noodle place opened 5 minutes from where I live a few months ago. This small restaurant offers close to authentic Japanese soup noodles and Thai soup noodles. The most important ingredient is the broth and they nailed it. I've been going back quite often. This place is run by a couple. One makes the Japanese menu and the other partner makes the Thai menu. I have tried both menu. Everything on the menu turned out great. I have no problems recommending this restaurant to anyone who likes noodles. You won't regret it. 2019-02-21. Recent change of menu is very confusing. The combination of noodle types and broth is too restricting. Don't like this. The pricing strategy is also confusing and a bit aggressive. Still, food quality remains excellent. read more

This ramen shop popped up on my feed and I decided to try it with a few friends. I ate at a ton of ramen shops and my expectations were not that high compared to all of the other ramen spots in MA being alright or mediocre. The shop is small, I would say there are about 20 seats. Our server was great and very attentive. Appetizer: We ordered the Wing Sampler, Yuzu, Peanut, and Thai Dragon. The wings were good and crispy. Came out hot and juicy. I would recommend. Entree: I ordered the spiciest ramen Doragon hell fire ramen, which I thought would be very spicy with ghost peppers and scorpion peppers, but I was disappointed with the spice level not living up to my expectations. The portion was big with a lot of toppings. It had good flavor overall. This bowl did not come with the traditional ramen noodles, but came with wide egg like noodles which i would compare to pasta noodles. It was a little pricey at $24 for the spiciest bowl. Dessert: We ordered the fresh mochi ice cream, passion fruit, lychee, mango, and mandarin orange. They're all delicious. Overall: I will come back again but I would order a shoyu or tonkotsu ramen due to the spicy ramen being $10 more than all the other bowls. read more

Vacationing from Los Angeles California, found this spot in the middle of nowhere, the ramen was amazing, I was pretty excited they served hot wings with my meal. I highly recommend this place.

Doragon Eatery - Ramen! - Ramen Near Me - Ashland, Massachusetts

Doragon Raman used to be one of the best takeout places in metro west. The ingredients are generally very high quality and veggies are crisp and fresh. The wings are plump and juicy. The chive dumplings were out of this world. It has always been expensive ($15-20) for soup once you add some veggies but it used to be worth it. The last two times we ordered they proved to be not worth the price. A couple months ago we order several soups and some apps. We waited an hour and a half for our order called several times and were told it would be right out, just waiting for the apps to come out. After over an hour of waiting we got the order home and there were no apps. It's very frustrating to hear that the wings are in the fryer over and over for an hour. It's outrageous to wait an hour for wings and not get the wings. When we called back they told us the wings were in the bag. I had to drive back to get the food and they didn't even apologize for the mistake. So we took a little break from them. Fast forward to tonight. Pulled up for curbside takeout and called. Watched from the car while the woman working the counter leaned in the counter and ignored the phone. When she finally picked up she informed me that if the food was ready they would bring it right out. I waited 15 more minutes and called again. She told me the same. By this time we had waited 40 minutes. I asked why the delay she said they were very busy. I could see from the parking lot that they were not busy. There was a lot of standing around in there. I asked her to check on how much longer we would have to wait and she said she was not allowed to do that. Not allowed to check on the order? That's crazy. I asked to speak to a manger the manager got on the phone and said the order was coming out right now. She deliver the order to the wrong car. When we finally got our order home the dumplings were soggy the wings were not seasoned the soup was cold one had 1/2 the noodles as the next. The veggie mix was different even though two orders were identical. All and all just disappointing. We used to rave about this place. It was the best around, but the past 2-3 visits have really soured me on it. The quality has really gone down and the customer service is beyond terrible. I don't expect we'll be back. read more

My husband says if you don't eat here, you're a giant nerd and missing out, and I have to agree that you'd definitely be missing out if you didn't eat here. Everything is absolutely delicious and the black garlic miso ramen is our favorite! read more

So many choices but my family tends to favor the same every time: Doragon Hellfire Broth and Black Garlic Miso Broth. They are always tasty.

Noodle City is a small spot in an even smaller town. You'd expect a set-up like this will be highly westernized and lacking the authentic flavors of Japan. However, I am happy to report that this place is absolutely amazing. They ramen is delicious and so is their katsu. The one that I got had a rich pork broth with all the other accouterments. The chicken katsu had a great umami sauce with a dry seasoning. The only issue is that all the bubble tea was smoothie style and they didn't have anything iced. If you are driving in I-90 and find yourself craving for a bowl of hot ramen, this place is definitely worth the detour. read more

PERFECTION!! I am so happy and thankful Noodle City has come to Ashland. 2 minutes from my home and the best option in town and surrounding towns! We got the Crispy Thai Rolls and the Doragon ramen. The rolls tasted homemade and delicious! Thick layers with amazing glass noodles and black mushroom. The Doragon Ramen.... just wow! So spicy and addictive! The noodles were firm with a gooey center. The miso broth was flavorful! The ramen comes with one full egg perfectly cut in half. The pork belly was thin, very flavorful, and the yummy fat sides melted in your mouth. The two crispy pork belly pieces were creative and fun to eat! SO much food! Please eat here, it's amazing!! I come from Seattle where the ramen is delicious and plentiful, and this is still the best ramen I've ever had! read more

The Tonkatsu Ramen is Delicious! Came in during a bit of a lunch rush but thoroughly enjoyed the meal and the Thai Iced Tea with Boba.

The food is very good but the surprise charge of over 6 dollars for Covid was a bit much. I ordered off an online menu which never mentioned the charge and I didn't see any signs in the pick up area. I ended up paying over 37 dollars for a bowl of ramen and an appetizer. Then they asked for a tip. Please be up front with your customers! read more

The menu looks really good and I had a hard time deciding what I wanted.. I finally got the Tonkatsu Ramen and my son had the Miso Ramen! Both were excellent! The Tonkatsu broth was sooo creamy and satisfying. The thin noodles really complimented the broth and the fatty pork belly just melted in my mouth! I tasted my son's Miso Ramen and the thick wavy noodles had this excellent bite which was very enjoyable! The Miso broth was another home run! I also stole a bite of the ramen egg and loved the molten yellow yolk. The red chili threads gave it a nice kick! My aim is to try each and every dish on their menu.. this place is definitely unique in the sense they offer Thai, Vietnamese and Japanese noodle soups! Don't take my word for it.. go try this place today!! read more

I had the Doragon Ramen. It was so spicy that I couldn't eat the broth. It only has 2 Chili's next to it on the menu, but there are others with 5 chili's. Yikes. The broth was delicious just too spicy for me and I've been to Thailand 20 times and enjoyed their spicy food, but this is on a new level. Loaded with noodles, pork belly, vegetables, and a perfectly cooked soft boiled egg. For $2 more got pork meatballs. Awesome. For an app I tried the fresh summer rolls with chicken with peanut dipping sauce. Perfection. Ashland is so lucky to get an authentic Ramen/Thai noodle soup restaurant. This place belongs in Chinatown it's so legit. Decor and service were great. Prices moderate. My bowl was huge and cost about $12. Worth every slurp. read more

If I could give this place 20 stars I would. I grew up in California so I'm very familiar with good ramen and this place is definitely up there as one of the best. Extremely fresh and flavorful, staff is always friendly, and it's a cozy spot to hunker down on a nice cool evening for a bowl of broth. Just be sure to allow for some time to wait because there are only a few tables and they're nice and don't rush people out. read more

This review is for the takeout kits, but I am confident that dining there would be even better. My girlfriend's brother and his family lived up in Sudbury for a little while and he talked this place up incessantly. We were on the verge of getting in the car and driving up there just for the ramen (but even more so to see our nephews)! Then the world turned upside down, they moved back to NJ, and we missed our chance to enjoy this ballyhooed ramen, or so we thought. Fast forward to yesterday, and her brother was headed up to MA for some dental work. He mentioned the takeout kits from Doragon and we were sold! We got the black miso beef ramen and the Doragon, level 1. The black miso was so unctuous, the beef (short rib) so tender, the veggies so fresh, it was some of the best ramen we've ever had. And then came the Doragon. The pork was spoon tender, the aroma so mouthwatering, and then we dug in. The noodles had the perfect bite to them and the broth - OMG that broth - was so addictively spicy (even at level 1), we couldn't stop eating it. Now here we are with no particular reason to go to Sudbury, and we're considering a drive up there just for more ramen - it's that good. If you're reading this review, you're probably closer to Doragon than we are, so be grateful to be near such a delectable dining option. Get a table now before I drive up from NJ to eat every drop of ramen they'll sell me. read more
