Love their ramen, it is packed with flavors! You pay first and then get a number. It comes out pretty fast. They also have a good selection of other appetizers and Hawaiian food here as well. My go-to for something fast and convenient since it's near my home and work place! Everyone who works there is kind and friendly! It gets pretty busy but they have outdoor seatings with shade to accommodate! read more

I decided to try this place out yesterday after receiving some good news (and being really hungry in the process). I came in around 11:15, and I was the only one there. I decided to order the black garlic ramen. I also ordered extra broth and extra noodles, which I usually do when I order ramen from a restaurant. However, the extra broth was $6.50, and the extra noodles were $4.50. The price for the extra noodles seemed ok, but $6.50 for extra broth?? Yikes. But, like I said, I was celebrating and hungry, so I bit the bullet. The soup came out fast, and I have to say I was pleasantly surprised. I honestly didn't think the soup was going to be as good as it was. The broth was smooth, creamy, and the garlic flavor didn't overpower it. Also, they did a good job with the egg. The yolk inside was gooey, but not runny. It might seem like something slight, but I get kinda annoyed when ramen places just basically throw a hard boiled egg into the soup. That's not how it's done. This place did it right. One thing that was kinda of weird was that my extra soup and noodles came out in a seperate bowl from my main order. I was under the impression that my extras would be put into one bowl, to make a bigger bowl of ramen. It wasn't a big deal, but it seemed unnecessary to have to keep adding my extra noodles and broth to the main bowl. So overall, I think 4.5 stars would be an accurate rating for this place. It was clean, had good service, and the ramen itself was really good, not to mention that they did a good job with the egg. I only took off half a star for the steep price on the extra broth, and having to keep transferring the extras to the main bowl. With the tip, I ended up spending about $33. Yea, it was a little steep, but sometimes you have to treat yourself. Its definitely worth a try. read more

Ramen 101 - Black garlic ramen. - Hawaiian Near Me - Sacramento, California

I was craving ramen and wanted to check out a different ramen spot that wasn't my usual go to's. I decided to try Ramen 101 as I heard mixed experiences from friends both good and bad. I walk in a the cashier greeted me and asked if I was ordering to go or dining in? I was dining in and she handed me a menu to look over. I ordered the Tonkonsu ramen and a whole grilled squid. I paid and she said I can sit anywhere I'd like. It was different as I usually paying at other ramen places after eating lol. I get my squid it was okay. I've had better other places, but it wasn't the worst. My ramen on the other hand for the price they were definitely stingy with the noodles and actually while I was there a customer complained about the lack of noodles he paid and they remade his food no questions asked, I should have said something as well , but didn't. The ramen broth was good, the pork meat wasn't very flavorful the egg was cooked more than I liked as well. I just cannot get past how stingy they are. I probably won't be back. There are so many fantastic ramen restaurants in Sac that is place is completely forgettable. The inside is nothing special there is plenty of seating and a tv for your enjoyment. read more

Excellent experience. Mu first time at this location and possibly the chain. Very nice interior that makes one ready for the meal. Love that they had a delicious chicken ramen. Not everywhere does or it's chicken in a pork ready bowl. The edamame was hair and quick to arrive. Which there was a garlic option but very happy with what was provided. The patio seating is also very nice. A lot of shame as it is on the west side of this corner building so gets the late afternoon-evening sun. The lush vines keep the sun out. Nice patio lightning above make it a lively evening meal. Parking lot is okay for size. At the corner of two main streets, entering this Town & Country shopping area is not difficult. read more

My friend suggested this place because she knows I am doing a little bit of a Ramen series at the moment with this gloomy cold weather soup is my thing This place was really nice. The staff was incredible. They had really nice suggestions on their favorite dishes and honestly, I was so surprised with the amount of flavor that each of the broth carry. I was able to try out classic Ramen and it was just amazing flavorful hearty. I was just incredibly satisfied and I cannot wait to come back here again for maybe a lunch break. read more

Located near Trader Joe's, this Ramen 101 is a good takeout or dine-in option for ramen or Hawaiian plate lunches and appetizers. Ordering off the overhead signs is easy as you enter, and if you're dining in, they will bring your food out to your table. The indoor dining area had lacquered wooden tables with 3 TVs showing different shows, and there is a nice outdoor patio too. Our kaki fry (fried oysters) was excellent with a crunchy batter encasing tender oysters and accompanied by a slightly spicy mayo dipping sauce. The pork belly (labeled as char siu) bowl was pretty good, especially when adding a side of two scoops of the with Mac tuna salad. The chicken-BBQ beef plate included tender marinated chicken, along with sliced beef that came out a little dry but with good Hawaiian style flavor. The rice portions were on the smaller side and a bit gummy. The Mac tuna salad was excellent. Didn't get to try the ramen but would definitely be happy to come back to try it along with other menu options. read more

Food was great! Had the BBQ chicken plate and spam masubi. Additionally, our car stalled right before we arrived. The server working the front counter was kind enough to give us a jump. We were able to get home without a tow and a uber. Thanks Ramen 101. We'll be back! read more

A fast casual restaurant with a nice combination of Ramen, Asian dishes, and Hawaiian food. I had the black garlic Ramen and added mushrooms - it had depth of flavor and was delicious. And the portion was quite hearty. I also had the fried squid legs which were crunchy and delicious. A few were a bit undercooked, but I can overlook that given the fact that it was toward the end of the shift on a Sunday night. Recommend this place. read more

I've only been to this location once but it was nice! Came for lunch with a friend and it satisfied the craving. The tonkotsu ramen was lovely, not the best I've had in town but it was tasty. I'll probably try a different ramen the next time I come. The restaurant is small and when we came it wasn't busy. It is a very chill vibe, we came during the day so it was lively/ didn't feel like a busy night spot. They have outdoor seating too which is nice, it's located in a shopping area that has lots of parking but gets packed. I would come back to try other things. read more

Ramen 101 - CHICKEN RAMEN - Hawaiian Near Me - Sacramento, California

Ordered the tonkatsu ramen and 2 kids ramen bowls and felt really disappointed. From how difficult it was to order and understand what each bowl contained when asking the girl behind the counter I felt ripped off more than anything else. Kind of pricey for how bland it tasted and lack of noodles in each bowl. My bowl had more bean sprouts, bamboo sprouts, and chives than finding actual noodles to eat. read more

Alright, so I live down the street to this place. Always wanted to try this place. My daughter and I ordered the tonkotsu ramen, and husband and son ordered the black garlic ramen. Black garlic ramen has so much flavor.... if you are a garlic fan, just get the black garlic ramen. Hands down.. during this cold fall weather. read more

One of my wife's favorite places. The black garlic ramen is to die for. The staff is always super friendly.

I am a ramen lover. Even Make my own. Been to most places in the area, this place is THE BEST!!!

Asked for sauce on the side for a DoorDash order and they gave me nothing but "marinated" beef and said they don't put it on the side unless it noted on DoorDash. How am I supposed to know that when the option says "sauce on the side"? Wouldn't help make up for it or anything when I drove up there to get the sauce myself, just blamed DoorDash and said "we'll update it". read more

My wife and I came here at one time to order food for dinner. I ordered Tonkotsu Ramen and some Chicken Karaage. (Best Japanese food combination, if you ask me). My wife had the BBQ Chicken plate. And for the kids, we had a few more ramen bowls for them (which we asked to prepare for later to go, as my wife and I were dining in). And the taste? It was as good as my go-to ramen shop in the Sacramento city center! Now that I have tasted the fare here, why drive to a further place for great tasting ramen? The service was also outstanding. The staff who took our orders was very knowledgeable and quick, and even remembering to delay our to-go order for the kids so the wife and I can dine in. So friendly and with an abundance of smiles (even when it was late in the day). The place was really inviting and well decorated. Well-lit so you did not have to squint at your food. I guess this place was a mix of Japanese and Hawaiian style food. I guess that from now on, I'll be going here and not the Hawaiian food place nearby... read more

The ambience always is very nice. I love coming here. You always get greeted as soon as you come in so the staff is very nice. Definitely love the service. It's a nice quiet location and this is hands-down. The best Ramen I have had I always get the Tonkutsu ramen with medium spice, spam Subi is delicious and the chicken karaage he's always nice and crunchy and they gave you plenty as well. I definitely recommend this place. read more

I've ordered from this location many times. It's never disappointed us. I've had many other ramen places, including expensive popular places and this one by far is the best. It's the best tasting broth, veggies are so fresh. We also ordered the gyoza, that too was delicious. read more

Came in right when they opened so there wasn't a line and food came out fast. The interior decor is very nice, but I was focused in the food! Walk in and order your food up front. They deliver to your table when done. I was so excited to try the black garlic ramen which was loaded with black garlic (not just black garlic oil like other ramen places). The chicken karaage was really yummy but wish they provided more sauce. There was ample food to take leftovers home. I actually ate my ramen leftovers at work for lunch (sorry not sorry to my coworkers for the overbearing yet delicious smell of garlic I'm the breakroom! Lol read more

I'm not typically big on ramen, but this place was a nice surprise! I stopped by after grocery shopping and had a great experience. The woman that helped me was so nice and had such great customer service. She really honestly went above and beyond. She made multiple recommendations with details and was nice enough to bring me everything, including filling my drink, since I had my hands full with my daughter. Aside from the great customer service, I found the ramen to be so good! I got the tonkotsu and it was perfect. Other places I've tried were either too salty or way too rich for my liking, but not here. The soft boiled egg was my favorite. I also ordered gyoza, which was good also. I takoyaki was also flavorful and nicely cooked. The portion sizes for everything were fairly large in my opinion. Overall I enjoyed this place and will definitely come back to try other flavors of the ramen! read more

Friendly service, pretty good ramen for the area! Located at the outermost corner of the Town & Country Village at the NW corner of Marconi Boulevard at Howe Ave, is Ramen 101.! Step past the double doors, and on your right is the big menu above the front counter. Pro Tip: Don't worry about choosing your level of spiciness (none, mild, medium or HOT) for your ramen when you order. Instead, just add however much hot chili oil and/or chili flakes from the jars at each table later! Order up, get your number, and place that number on a big wooden table of your choice and get seated. The helpful staff will bring out your order in just a few short minutes. Casual semi-fast food vibe where the big crew puts their heart into the restaurant. Everyone smiles here, and I mean everyone! So nice to see! Kudos to them! I ordered the Black Garlic Ramen: 3.75/5 Thin noodles are on point - al dente, accompanied by bamboo shoots, a square of nori (seaweed), a boiled egg split into halves with an almost perfect semi-runny yolk and two thin slices of char siu pork. The broth is flavorful but not quite as complex as I was hoping for.. still good... But.. here's the standout feature... Unlike most places where you get just the black garlic oil, Ramen 101 served up at least 14 cloves of real black garlic! That's almost two whole BULBS of black garlic in my ramen! Yeah.. no one wants to get near me now! lol. Summary: Great service, and a good bowl of ramen in a well-run establishment! read more

We stopped here when visiting Living Spaces and after in a furniture store for hours, this place really hit the spot. I cannot believe how fast the service was. We took a number, sat down and I swear the bowls were on the table a minute later! They also have a selection of beer and wine which was reasonably priced. My ramen was yummy and I wish this place was a little closer to home so I could visit and try some other ramen selections. read more

Dude what in heck is going on over there. I'm not going back to this location. I came in for ramen with extra eggs because I love how the eggs are cooked and I get home and my eggs are all shredded up and are hard boiled not even how they are supposed to be. The meat is so tough and tastes freezer burnt. A ramen bowl , extra eggs and Rangoon's $27 and I can't even eat my bowl, this is disgusting and straight up disrespect that this is served.

We stopped by after errands! We were greete by mikayla , and she took my order. She was super sweet, friendly and very informative. My boyfriend ordered the black garlic Ramen, and I ordered the tonkotsu spicy. we got extra toppings, and to be honest, I love that some of the toppings are not extra charge. We came around 6 pm, and it wasn't too busy at all. The restaurant itself is very spacious. The tonkotsu has more of a Szechuan spice to it which was still delicious. The black garlic was really good too! Very flavorful Both ramen bowl were so hefty! There was so much of each thing that was in there. I barely finished half and was already stuffed. read more

Ramen the family was craving, ramen was what they got. For starters it was clean, service was friendly and fast. Plenty of seating available and they also have outdoor dining too. We went with crab Rangoons to start and they were delicious and cooked crispy golden to the bite. We got some tonkotsu ramen and chicken ramen. All dishes were on point. The eggs were perfectly boiled, i Loved them. They were loaded with the vegetables inside and broth was slurping down. I went in a different route my self. I went with the unagi rice bowl. Had it in sushi before so why not i like it. Well it was a big piece too. I just never realized how much it was lol. Cooked perfect and seasoned great with the sauces. I even got the kids to try it. My daughter was like getting that next time we come. I was shocked cause that is not something in her realm but enjoyed it. My son tried it and moved on politely.

This spot is great, I really enjoyed their post stickers and the bbq chicken plate! Would definitely recommend it.

First time ordering from Ramen 101. Saw a picture of the Unagi Rice Bowl from another yelper from a year ago, and it looked like her order had a good portion of the Unagi to rice ratio. I was sorely disappointed when I got home to find my unagi portion was grossly undersized. See the attached screenshot photo from prior Yelper and then my current photo with a standard fork for reference. It tastes fine, but I definitely had lots of rice with sauce only. read more

First time here and I like spam masubi however this place was a rip off to me. The spam was pretty thin and there was so much rice.
