Prior to watching a movie, there happened to be a ramen place within walking distance. We had time to kill, so why not try it out? We arrived around 12:30PM on a Friday and there were a decent amount of patrons already inside. We were immediately greeted in and took our orders. I had the miso ramen. The pricing was comparable to other ramen locations I have been to which is good. Nice and cozy esablishment - I noticed right away they had a tv and it was playing One Piece (anime). Kudo points there! Not even 5 minutes later, we received our orders. The food? GREAT! Because it is less than 15 minutes away from where I live, I'll definitely come back for more! Thanks! read more

We are headed to Topgolf and decided to stop for Ramen. I found this place close by in a strip mall with convenient parking. I have an easy menu to read overhead, I just wish it gave more detail on the menu because I did have several questions as to which to order. Once you place your order you find a table to sit at. It's not a big spot, but there is plenty of seating. I ended up ordering the black garlic noodles with medium spice. I enjoyed my bowl however I felt like it looked flavor. They did have big chunks of garlic in it, but there was something missing. I'm glad they had the chili oil on the table to add to it. The kids bowl has about the same amount noodles. It just doesn't have all the extra fixings. read more

I ordered the Tonkotsu bowl through DoorDash and had it delivered. It was exactly what I was craving as ive been fighting off a cold. The seasoned egg is always my favorite, perfectly cooked and full of flavor. The bowl comes with pork, fish cake, bamboo, sprouts, black mushrooms, and a rich pork broth. Everything was well-balanced and satisfying, and the price is always reasonable for the quality and portion. The food arrived quick and hot, it was packaged really well, which I always appreciate because sometimes the both can leak. This is hands down my go-to ramen place and order choice. I highly recommend if you're craving a solid bowl of ramen at home or at the restaurant. read more

Quality food, Great prices [Rocklin CA] It's been over 5 years since my first time dining here during their soft opening... I reread my review and I'm happy to report that the same delicious food and customer service hasn't changed. I ordered the same dish I ordered that first time... Chashu Rice (pork belly chashu, brocolli, cabbage on rice)... my daughter ordered the Tako Yaki. Prices are a bit lower than other ramen places. They now offer Loco Moco on weekends... I only saw the ad after placing my order for the Chashu Rice. I'd like to try it the next time we come back. Funny how I referenced Superman five years ago when I wrote my original review... this time daughter and I just came from Blue Oaks Theater next door and we watched the movie... Superman! Restaurant is clean... saw the manager busy wiping down tables, sweeping the floor, and clean the bathroom. Very friendly as she informed me to contact her when we need catering and gave me a couple of paper menus to take with me. Review #1751 updated read more

Very good Ramen, been looking for a local spot. I think we found it. I like the ambiance as well.

If you're a fan of ramen, Ramen 101 is an absolute must-visit! From the moment you walk in, the warm, inviting atmosphere sets the stage for an incredible dining experience. The star of the show is, of course, the ramen. Their Tonkotsu Ramen is rich, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. The broth is simmered to perfection, delivering that creamy, umami-packed punch that warms your soul. The noodles have just the right amount of chew, and the toppings--oh, the toppings! Whether it's tender chashu pork, marinated soft-boiled eggs, or fresh green onions, every component feels thoughtfully crafted. Don't skip the appetizers--[example, e.g., their crispy gyoza or others are fantastic accompaniments. The staff is friendly and attentive, ensuring your bowl comes out piping hot and exactly how you want it. Whether you're a ramen enthusiast or new to the game, Ramen 101 is a spot you'll find yourself craving long after your first visit. I needed to stop in after my snow trip. 5/5 stars--I'll definitely be back! 1) draw back location of soda fountain but honestly I looked around nowhere else be unless behind counter which means you couldn't refill yourself so the inconvenience is worth it read more

What was my goto Ramen joint has lost its place in my list of great ramen spots. Lastnight we rolled up before 9pm. We were told that they could only serve togo orders. And we could not eat inside the restaurant. We asked if we could use one of the tables outside. We shrugged and ordered our food, we were very hungry for some hot soup. 2 orders of black garlic ramen. First the portions are for kids not enough quantities for an adult. I don't recall the portions being so small. Another issue is the kitchen staff which I found were rude and making comments in Spanish which I could understand they were making jokes about me and my buddy. Totally unprofessional. I won't be going back here. Disappointed experience. read more

Seafood bowl and black garlic ramen bowl's.. the black garlic was definitely better than the three shrimp, artificial seafood bowl's.. the garlic bowls broth was very tasty! Just enough seasoning and the pork and noodles were all good, withy the sprouts giving a little crunch on every bite! Would go back and next time I'll try the Hawaiian mixed plates which looked great! read more

Thought we'd get a quick bowl of Ramen after the show (Accountant 2, it was great). I got the Seafood Ramen, it had great flavor. It could have had more seafood for the price. But I ate it all. My brother had the Black Garlic Bowl. It was even better. I personally should have gone with that bowl because it has so many awesome flavors. It was a great lunch. The service was excellent and the ambiance fine. We will return. read more

Our family ate there last week and all got very sick for the entire night and day after. I called them 3 times to talk to the owner and or the manager and there isn't one and no one returned my call or showed any interest in helping us make this right. During the dinner the entire staff were just staring at their phones and not willing to help us find a napkin and the ramen was luke warm. We will not be going there again. Too bad. read more

I think that Roman 101 is my most favorite Ramen in all of the Sacramento Roseville area. I love the options and I love the fact that they use the right type of mushroom for the Ramen. The eggs are delicious. The broth is delicious and I absolutely love it. If there's one downfall in the entire restaurant, it would be that the employees do not seem happy. I never see them smile and they never ask the customers how they're doing. It's not very personable. read more

Going out to eat anywhere anymore is a luxury because of how expensive everything is... ESPECIALLY here. I feel like their prices have not only gone up but DOUBLED in the past few years so because of this, we don't come here as often as I USED TO like. Historically, their vegetable ramen broth was one of my favourite things in the whole sac region. Literally one of my favourite treat meals. So I bit the bullet after a long day at work and ordered it to go. This thing was INEDIBLE. Usually their to go dishes definitely suffer in quality compared to eating in the restaurant but this was awful. I couldn't tell if it was ingredients gone bad, cleaning chemicals, what... I was so upset because it was literally almost 20$ for this damn bowl (I did get fried garlic as an add on but that's only like an extra dollar I think). I called to ask if they changed their ingredients and the guy I talked to said no. He then almost doubled down about how ActUalLy they had sold soOoOo many vegetable ramens that day. Cool, I guess? I didn't really ask for anything to be done but he immediately was like 'well there's nothing we can do but I'll tell the cook'. Um thanks? I was tempted to head over there and ask for my money back but at this point I'm just really upset that one of my absolute favourite dishes is not something I really feel like I want to order ever again. :((( read more

The Chicken and Rice is perfect. It includes nicely cooked broccoli and cabbage, along with white rice and chicken with a teriyaki sauce. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED read more

We've been coming here since we moved to the roseville area in 2020 and will continue to support this business. Our usual go-to order are; shoyu ramen, black garlic ramen & kaki fry. Service has always been quick, bathrooms are clean and staff are nice. It could get crowded during peak hours but today we came in at around 4:30PM so it wasnt that bad.. read more

Misleading 4-star on Yelp. This is not authentic ramen. The ramen broth is flavorless, along with the meat.

Hadn't hit the local ramen spot in a long while and it definitely satisfied today! You walk in and order at the counter. My favorite menu items are the Tonkatsu Ramen and the Grilled Squid. The restaurant has a few small table that you get a number and they bring out the food. Chill, casual vibes. Hot ramen is perfect on a windy autumn day. Staff are nice, but service is limited to them bringing out the food. read more

WORTH it 10/10 for everything here. I've been to Ramen 101 three times now, and it never disappoints! The service is always top-notch -- the cashiers are friendly and polite, and the food arrives quickly even when they're busy. The ambiance is laid-back and welcoming, with great TV shows to keep you entertained. The place is spotless, and the employees seem genuinely happy, which adds to the positive vibe. As for the food, it's amazing. The crab rangoons actually taste like crab -- not like the imitation stuff you often get. The ramen is high-quality, with tender Chashu that melts in your mouth. The egg is perfectly cooked, sweet and soft, never overdone. The noodles are far from instant quality -- you can tell they're made with care. The prices are very reasonable for the quality you're getting, and I'm always happy to make the drive here. Highly recommend supporting this business! Please check out their menu, they have more than just ramen. The grilled squid is also amazing! read more

Have came here for ramen many times and appreciate the quick service, friendly cashiers and consistent quality of ramen. Finally tried something from their Hawaiian menu yesterday and the Kalbi short rib plate did not disappoint! Meat was seasoned well with more of a ginger taste than other kalbi I've had, wasn't too overpowering but unique from others. I specifically liked how their mac salad tasted (I can be picky about it sometimes) and the steamed veggies (broccoli and cabbage) were perfect texture, not too mushy and soft. Would definitely order this again! read more

I like their ramen. The broth is really good. But the one I took with me was not so good. There were stale Ingredients and not much chicken meat. For example, the green onions tasted old, and the egg didn't look freshly cooked either. Not enough chicken meat. For a man, I don't think it would be a full meal. I've also tried teriyaki chicken, which is also quite good. read more

The Kalbi ribs were very tender and had a good flavor. The vegetables were steamed and bland. No seasoning was added. You get two small scoops of rice (equivalent to half a cup of rice) and the mac salad was average. Was a bit bland for my liking. Would prefer a little more seasoning. Overall I would give this plate a 3/5 stars. The Chashu bowl is delicious. One of the best Chashu bowls I've had. The chicken has the best flavor and is tender. The portion of chicken is large so the bowl is filling. 5/5 stars. read more

I think I have reviewed prior and thought more of the experience. Just a few things were off. First the broth was just "warm" and the egg was cool. The pork was dry and the ingredients were not on point. I think it is easy to fix, and hope they do, but tonight it was just meh. For a family of five it was just shy of $90. read more

I could say a disclaimer that we got it "to go," but to be fair, we were part of a daytime summer camp next door at the "Xtreme" center. My boss treated us to some ramen, while the campers had pizza. Again, technically takeout, but we were eating within minutes of delivery. Either this is not authentic Japanese Ramen, or they got all of our ramens wrong. I ordered the traditional Tonkatsu ramen. One thing that was annoying was that there were more bean sprouts then actual ramen noodles, and the noodles tasted quite "pre-made." However, that was not the most annoying thing. My broth was near inedible with the amount of visible red pepper flakes scattered throughout the entirety of the soup: broth, noodles, chashu, and everything else. I was raised around Asian, Indian, and Mexican cuisine.....this was not how ramen should taste. It had no flavor....except "hot." Spicy....too spicy. Japanese pork ramen broth should taste of umami, pork, and other subtle flavors. This was disgustingly hot with no other discernible flavors. Sorry for sounding like a "male Karen," (is that a "Zack?") but I love ramen, I was hungry, and my boss took us out for lunch. I had to force it down to save face, as I love the company I work for....but as someone on prednisone, I most likely will be "paying" for this meal later tonight. Do NOT recommend..... read more
