On a cold Bay Area evening we were craving something hot, so we stopped by this ramen shop. Upon entering, it's a small mom-and-pop spot with warm lighting, just a few tables, and that cozy, steamy-window feel you want on a chilly night. Our Eats Included: Takoyaki (3/5) Premium Black Garlic Pork Tonkatsu (4/5) Black Garlic Miso Ramen (4.5/5) We started with the takoyaki. It was a bit too doughy and the squid was small but still tasty overall. Both ramen bowls arrived piping hot with a smooth, rich broth. The broth was delicious, but a little too salty, and I expected more garlic flavor given the name. Between the two, I preferred the Black Garlic Miso it was the most balanced of the bunch. As a garlic lover, I did really enjoy the roasted garlic on top, it provided a sweet creamy topping.
We walked in Friday around 7:15pm and was seated right away. I ordered the Garlic pork miso ramen. Very good, flavorful broth and chewy noodles. The Chasu was a bit tough though. If you can look past the not so good Chasu, then this place is ok. Casual place. We parked at another establishments parking lot adjacent to the restaurant.
We were greeted and seated right away. It's a small, cozy restaurant with great background music that creates a warm atmosphere. The service was fast and attentive. We ordered two ramen dishes, and both were rich, flavorful, and prepared exactly the way we requested. A great spot for a satisfying bowl of ramen!
This place has been viral so I checked it out. I went on a weekday a bit before noon and we got seated immediately. As noon roams around, the place is packed with people and some people are even waiting outside for a seat. The place is small but very comfortable. I had high expectation because the place was recommended. The ramen, however, was decently mediocre. The noodles are fine, the flavor of the broth is nothing too surprising. The pork was delicious though, it was smoky and tender. The price is quite decent as well.
This review is overdue. I've been going to Ramen Dojo for several years now. it is either my number one or number two favorite Ramen places in San Mateo. The pork garlic broth is exceptional. The shrimp wonton and chicken. Banjiban are my favorite flavors. The noodles have the perfect amount of chew. It is always served with a couple of roasted garlic cloves, which add a level of flavor to the meal. It's small so I always try to get there early to get a table and not have to wait. Highly recommended.
Ambiance: A small ramen shop that reminds you of every shop new shop opening in 2010 Service: one server so it took awhile but overall fast for being one person Food: Solid ramen. It's nothing to write home about. This bowl of ramen had the flavors you look for in a garlic pork ramen, but just lacked depth. The toppings were on the smaller side too. Also the ramen is quite small so if you were looking to be full, i recommend getting more noodles
Had a good experience at Ramen Dojo. I ordered the garlic pork ramen, medium spicy, and added extra soft shell crab. Overall, the taste was really good and flavorful. Just a small note -the "medium spicy" level wasn't very spicy, so if you like real heat, you might want to go higher. Also, the soup portion felt a little light. I personally wish they gave a bit more broth. Other than that, solid ramen and worth trying.
Everything went well! While my daughter and I were waiting, we were a few minutes early, we checked out the menu that was posted on the outside. Within those few minutes we decided on what to order. Thankfully, they let us in, because it was cold and windy out! Food was 10/10! Soft shell crab ramen with the garlic pork base; despite the 1 quail egg (I wish there were a few more - 5 is ideal), it was so very good! Chicken karaage ramen with garlic pork base; the chicken pieces were bigger than expected. Tip: The lemon water was really fresh. I'd definitely go back!
Got invited by my kidws and their friend to have ramen at one of their favorite places! Thanks for the invite! We came in and were lucky to grab the last table - I was worried that the wait would be super long because of how busy they wre, but after ordering, my sake came immediately, and our ramen came out in 10-15 minutes! And it was delicious! Everyone ordered extra pork because it is just that good! I was so happy to be included with the big kids, and thoroughly enjoyed the food, the waitstaff, the efficiency, and the company!
This place is small (probably 24 customers max), but turnaround was fairly quick, and the food was very tasty. There's a clipboard hanging on the door for signups. For a first timer like me, it's not very noticeable...I walked right past it. When the food arrived, my first thought was that the portions aren't very big, but it was filling enough for me and my wife. The only negative comment I have is the open doorway between the dining room and the kitchen. I was able to see the chef preparing the food (with his bare hands), then wiping his hands on a rag on his workstation. And I saw him put his hand in his pocket. Also, in order for customers to get to the restroom, they need to walk right through the chef's workstation.
A cosy, no-nonsense ramen spot with no wait times and fast service. Their broth, noodles and pork were tasty. The wait staff are very blunt and direct but not rude. I look forward to returning.
This is one of the coziest ramen spots I've been to in San Mateo, perfect for a cold winter night. The interior has limited seating, having a mom and pops feel to it. Got the premium tonkotsu with a soft shell crab added. The soup came out piping hot, and the broth was rich without being too heavy. There was only one very friendly lady serving the entire dining room, but she's surprisingly attentive to all and very efficient. Will definitely be back in the near future!
I heard so much about this place for a while and got the chance to come here on monday for late lunch. I ordered a stew pork belly ramen -- Mild spicy and (House garlic pork) and the broth and noodles were really good! However I felt that the pork belly flavor didn't really go that well with the broth. Overall, it's a really good ramen spot in San Mateo!
I'm amazed at the hype this place has. We ordered 2 garlic pork ramens, one spicy, and one not spicy. Be prepared for a long wait since there aren't many tables, and don't forget to sign the waiting list. The ramen portion is small, the broth to me wasn't that flavorful, and the pork tasted dry and old. The pork wasn't tender, and I basically pushed it to the side and didn't finish it. The ramen was chewy and cold, like it was sitting on a cold counter, and didn't have time to warm up from the broth. The ramen tasted like it came from a sad food truck; I'd skip this place. read more

been dying to try this spot & finally managed to make it out early on a Monday for lunch. There weren't a lot of people and plenty of spots to sit at. I got the garlic pork medium spicy and it was great. I wish they gave more pork since it was so delicious. the noodle texture was not too soft and had a good chew to it. the quail eggs are also unique and not common in ramen so that was yummy. Spice wasn't bad for me and I'll definitely go up one level next time. 10/10 recommend even if there's a wait ! read more

Ramen dojo is always delicious! A bowl of garlic pork ramen is so filling. I enjoy their perfectly cooked noodles in great tasting broth. I like it as is- (not adding a spice level) so I can really taste the flavor of the soup. The garlic flavor is a nice addition. The meat is cooked well and tender. Very yummy. Nice toppings of egg, beansprout, and spinach. It's one of my favorite ramen shops for sure. read more

Came here on a weekend evening around 6pm, and luckily got a table right away. This place is quite small and there was only one person running at the front. We ordered two different kinds of ramen (mine has pork belly I remember, and my friend added soft shell crab as the topping). I like the ramen but didn't find the egg very tasty. Menu is pretty simple which is another thing I like about this place! read more

Food: We tried their special ramen menus: stewed pork belly with garlic pork broth (the house one) and soft shell crab with pork miso broth. Also ordered their chicken karaage. Chicken karaage came in two pieces, thigh cut made it tender and juicy, flavor was on the mild side and the batter was the "wet" one, not the crispy one. But, we liked them. We like their stewed pork belly with garlic pork broth better than another one we ordered. It tasted rich but not overwhelming, could taste the "burnt" flavor from something which I personally like, garlic came in a few whole pieces so it was good since it didn't overpower the broth (if you like it you can munch them but if you don't then you have the option not to eat it). The chunk of the stewed pork belly was super tender and melt in your mouth!! The piece was big and thick too. Ajitsuke tamago was nice. On the other hand, pork miso broth was on the lighter side, came with sweet corn and thinly sliced roasted pork which was nice slurp with the broth. It had a boiled quail egg which was so so. Did not like the soft shell crab though, tasted a bit weird to us (just not our cup of tea). Noodle texture for both was the thick and chewy one, which we like. Overall, a nice winter and cold weather slurp!! PS: you can choose the level of spice, we chose medium for both, which was a bit hot at the beginning but was okay afterward. I don't normally eat spicy food. But this was still enjoyable :) Service: Top notch, the waitress was superb (friendly and quickly to attend each of the customers). Queue: We sat directly after we came since the bar was empty and we didn't mind sitting there - was Saturday evening a bit past dinner time. But all tables were full and we saw a short queue (they won't sit you in unless all parties are present). People came and went while we were there. Payment: Accept cards. read more

Still one of my favorite bowls of ramen in the Bay Area. I really like their Premium Garlic Pork ramen. The broth is super flavorful and their noodles are tender. I wis read more
We came here with our friends during a recent trip to the Bay Area. The restaurant is small and tables are packed together, but we got seated pretty quickly at around 5:30pm on a Saturday. As the name suggests they specialize in ramen, which is all we ordered. We ordered a soft shell crab ramen and a shio ramen with pork belly. The food was brought out rather quickly, which makes me wonder if some ingredients were pre-cooked. The pork belly was tender but mostly fat with little lean meat, good flavor, while the ramen noodles was cooked well. There was not much else in the noodle, and overall just okay. I had a taste of the crab ramen, and it was rather bland and not very tasteful. Restaurant was packed by the time our food arrived and felt very crowded, which takes away from the dining experience. The prices were a bit on the expensive side, about $17 for a bowl of ramen. Overall just okay ramen dining experience. read more
we came to ramen dojo on a wednesday afternoon around 1pm (they close at 2pm). there was no wait and we were quickly seated. food came very fast and we were in and out in less than 30 minutes. we decided to try the garlic pork ramen with mild spice. it came out super fast! the noodles were chewy, there were 2 slices of chashu, vegetables, and a quail egg. i think this ramen was pretty comparable with ramen nagi, our favorite ramen place in palo alto! the waitress was very kind and i would come back again if i was in san mateo. i know there are so many ramen places in downtown and we've only tried taishoken otherwise but i thought the ramen here was pretty good. read more
Located at downtown San Mateo, their ramen is really solid. I read reviews prior to my visit and to avoid a long wait, I came here for early dinner on weekday night. Street parking is available and I really got lucky. As I turned the corner to this street, a spot just opened. Otherwise, may have to walk a bit to park. I knew what I wanted to order before I got here. Black garlic ramen. Soup was rich in flavor and noodle was cooked perfectly with nice texture. Soup was rich but not overwhelming, it made me want to finish drinking all the soup. Gyoza was good but I think I prefer pan fried for ramen. Price was reasonable. read more

I came here with high expectations after seeing many good reviews and a very highly rated ramen shop in this area. However, the basic Ramen I order with chicken karaage was a disappointment to say the least. My first test is always to taste the soup, as it was good, not bad but it fall short with the chicken karaage as it was soggy and NOT fresh, the noodles were ok, but I had better elsewhere. First time here, but I think I wouldn't come back again, sad, wishing it would have been better. read more

This was my favorite ramen spot in the past. Even my friends from east bay would travel all the way to eat their ramen. I used to wait at least an hour to get a table. But, there was no lines today. I believe they have changed the ownership. I don't see the waitress I used to see. The presentation of the food is different than before. I had the vegetarian cream corn ramen with a flavored egg. It's $22 including of tax and tips. Corns and bamboo shots are from cans. They used a plastic bowl to serve ramen. It's a big 'no no.' read more
My ex-colleague who's from San Mateo told me that Ramen Dojo changed their recipe, opting to serve their ramen with a chicken egg instead of quail eggs. I guess that could go either way, depending on what type of egg you like. :P We arrived at 6pm on Monday and got seated immediately. Overall, I enjoyed my bowl of ramen here. The noodles and the pork were both ordinary, but the fried garlic cloves were a fantastic addition. I also thought the soy sauce broth was (surprisingly) more flavorful than the garlic pork broth. read more

I came to San Mateo, and have heard how it is known for ramen. This is one of the places often talked about, so I wanted to try it out. The selection was quite limited, but we got the most popular ones I saw: the garlic pork and the miso ramen. I picked the medium spice level, which I would compare to a slightly more concentrated shin ramen in terms of spice levels. The ramen came with 2 slices of pork, 1 quail egg, some sliced wood ear fungus, a bit of minced pork, and some whole soft garlic. In terms of broth, it was not as rich as I had imagined, and not much fat or pork flavor. The miso ramen broth did have strong miso flavor though. I thought the amount of meat in it was minimal, and so the ramen eventually was quite boring on its own. I would recommend add one otherwise there is not much to eat the ramen with. read more
I haven't been here precovid since they've shut down indoor dining for awhile. We came on Saturday for lunch and arrived 30 mins before they closed and was seated right away. We got their garlic pork flavor ramen and it was as good as before (precovid). Highly recommend this place if you're in San Mateo! Their staffs are super friendly so that's a plus! read more

Ramen on a cold day in SF? Sign me up! My friends and I decided to try this place before we headed back to LA. For a party of 4 we did have to wait a bit just because it was a holiday and the place is a bit small. Their menu is very simple though. There are a total of 5 ramens you can choose from: Dojo, Pork Cheek, Stewed Pork, Soft Shell Crab, and Lobster. After you choose your choice of meat, you can choose the choice of broth between soy sauce, miso pork, or garlic pork. I ended up ordering the stewed pork belly ramen with miso pork flavor and medium spicy. The portion is huge! I couldn't finish the noodles but I drank all of the soup. The soup was amazing because it was PIPPING hot and the broth was rich in flavor. I was slightly disappointed though in the spicy level because I asked for medium but it felt like it wasn't spicy at all... I should have asked for even more spicy. The stewed pork belly was also HUGE but the only thing I do have to say was it was slightly dry. Other than that the dish was pretty worth the wait. One of the reasons why I'm not giving this place 5 stars is because of the restroom. In order to use the restroom, you have to walk into the kitchen.... I was wearing boots with a slight heel and it was so hard trying not to slip in the kitchen... I get that places in SF are tiny and but that walk through the kitchen is pretty dangerous. Also if there is a worker at their station you really have to be careful because there's literally little to no room to walk through. Other THAN that I do recommend this place for some yummy ramen! read more
4 1/2 stars! First time back since 2018 and so glad it was still delicious! I had the garlic pork medium spicy and my friend had the same one mild spicy. You can really taste the effort they put into making the broth. 4.5 stars because it wasn't as good as before but I would say it's definitely way above average, and better than ANYWHERE in greater Sac area. Friendly service. Will be back! I miss the old flavor cuz it had much more vegetables back then. We lined up around 10:40am Sunday and we were the second couple in the line. I remember the line used to be at least 30-45 mins wait! When we left around 11:40, it was quite empty inside as well. Maybe only 4-5 parties. read more

This place is legit in San Mateo! We both got their tonkotsu broth ramen. Broth was so good and noodles were perfect. This spot is small so make sure you come early to ensure a seat. If you come later there may be a bit of a wait but not long. read more
Finally get to come to this ramen place which I look forward to because it's the one that I haven't got a chance to try and it has so many reviews!!! I missed last time I was in the area because the line was very long but today was pretty slow but it's all good. I ordered the garlic pork and extra spicy which super hot and couldn't enjoy the soup much , so I recommend to order just normal spicy Toppings are different here a bit such as quail egg , but there's a lot of extra toppings you could add on. Not a bad place but still can't beat my favorite ramen which is ramen nagi in Palo Alto that you should try, in the city would be Marufuku but recently they're down a bit for me though read more
After today's lunch, I'm saying no-no to Dojo. Ramen Dojo is a busy restaurant on a somewhat small street in San Mateo. Nearby street parking appears to be free, but it's likely limited during typical meal hours. I ended up parking a few blocks away during lunch today. I arrived not long after they'd opened (in other words, I didn't get there early to stand in line), and it took 45 minutes from signing the waiting list to getting served. This whole process is deceptively long and includes such unusual practices such as the host asking you to place your order (tip: read the menu ahead of time), then leaving you to continue waiting outside for seats. Even after you get seated, you still have to wait for the kitchen to prep the full order. I'm really not sure how the early-stage ordering expedites anything, especially if you decide to change your mind at some point or get your order transcribed incorrectly as my friend did today. The menu is relatively simple. Basic ramen is $12.95 - not at all expensive nowadays for this region - and comes with 2 pieces of roasted pork (thicker than typical chashu), fried garlic cloves, kikurage mushroom, fresh green chives, and one hard-boiled quail egg. You select flavor options (soy bean, garlic pork, or soy sauce) and spicy level (non-spicy or three tiers of heat), then add extra toppings if desired. Alternatively, you can try one of the more pricey variants (stewed pork belly, tan tan men, soft shell crab, or lobster meat), some of which can also be prepared with miso broth. I stuck to the simplest ramen with the garlic pork flavor. The broth was an immediate concern because it felt lacking in garlic, pork, and flavor. It tasted watered down, and my friend who'd also ordered a garlic pork base commented that it was lighter than usual. The thick noodles were a little bland too, but at least they were sufficiently chewy. The meat was flavorful and tender, and all of the toppings were quite enjoyable, especially the roasted garlic. Unfortunately, I just can't overlook the letdown that was the broth. Even if I'd received the typical quality of ramen as my friend had in prior vists, I doubt that I'd drive up from San Jose to Ramen Dojo to hunt for ramen. Based on what I did taste, I don't recommend that anybody goes out of their way unless they work or live nearby and can get in early. It was a middle-of-the-road experience at best. read more

Service was surprisingly great which makes sense because the ramen seriously lacked. On the pricier side than ramen parlor yet ramen parlor tastes significantly better... same owner is hard to believe. I expected the chasu to not melt in your mouth and read it would be chewy and I thought hmm damn that sucks... But when it happened. . . . .DAAAAAMN that really sucked!!!! So hard to chew! That should NEVER happen. Broth was bland, not at all spicy for the mild like it used to be. Noodles not chewy. I guess this place used to be good, but not anymore. read more
3.5 I'd say. It was pretty good. Service was hit or miss despite the place being tiny, noise wasn't really an issue while in the place thankfully. Seating and wait times can be a bit rough though depending on what your your timeframe is looking like so be wary. I had gotten the stewed pork belly ramen with garlic pork flavor. The broth wasn't as hot as I'd like honestly, but the flavor had a good richness to it while accentuating the ingredients. The chashu was a bit chewy, the stewed pork was a good bite though. The noodles didn't have as much spring to them as I would like. It was simple but a good amount of food. Kind of pricey imo. I'd probably venture to other places before stopping by again. read more
This place is over-hyped for their quality of ramen. The friend I came with has been here before (years ago) and praised this place for their ramen. I had high expectations, but after eating here, we're both disappointed from what we received (including 1 year expired beer which is UNACCEPTABLE). I got the Garlic Pork Flavor (Medium Spicy) w/green cabbage and fried whole garlic, and my friend got Soy Sauce Flavor (Mild Spicy) w/ kimchi, bamboo shoots, corn, and fried whole garlic. My broth tasted like it was watered down -- there wasn't much flavor (pork or garlic) in it. With broth being one of the most important components of ramen, I was already dissatisfied with my meal. The noodles had a good texture (although my friend says it was too chewy/a bit more hard for his taste). However, the noodles also seemed bland -- there's really nothing notable about it. The chasu was dry, cold, and flavorless -- it would be the same as chewing on slightly soggy cardboard. It seemed like they forgot the chasu out on the counter for too long and then put it back on top of the ramen after. The quail egg was bland as well (don't see why they wouldn't do regular eggs? I guess to overprice it at 2.50 as an add on). The other toppings were average. My friend mentioned that his beer didn't taste that good, so we checked the expiration date. The beer they served us was from 01/18 of LAST YEAR. It's 01/19. My friend wasn't going to say anything about it because he had fond memories of Ramen Dojo several years ago, but I don't believe any customer should pay for expired food/drinks. I mentioned this to the hostess/server, she checked the expiration date and asked us if we wanted a different bottle. We're already at the end of our meal and not happy about the beer or the taste of the food, so we decline. They took the beer off of our tab, but honestly they could have done more. Overall, it was a very disappointing experience. There's really nothing special or memorable about their ramen, and I wouldn't consider coming back. For quality ramen, I'd recommend Mensho Tokyo. I understand that my review is affected by the expired beer, so only basing Ramen Dojo by their ramen, I would give this place a 2. read more

Better than Ramen Nagi? No, but good ramen and a short wait. This place has a more modern than authentic japanese restaurant vibe. Overall, 3.5 stars. I came here on Saturday at 6:40 PM and waited ~10 mins. I ordered the standard pork garlic broth ramen. The broth was flavorful, not too salty nor oily. The bowl came out with 2 pieces of average quality chashu, 1 egg, 3 roasted garlics (yum!), nori, etc. The noodles are okay. I wouldn't drive 30-40 minutes just to come here, but I would happily stop by if this place is on the way. read more

Yums, solid ramen place! Since the restaurant is relatively small and the place is quite popular, I recommend getting there early. I came here on a Sunday right when it opened so didn't have to wait - but the place filled up within ~15mins. The basic ramen comes with 2 big/3medium pieces of pork, kikurage mushroom, nori seaweed and a quail egg. I like the broth but I think there are some better places for noodles. The quail egg was interesting too but I think I prefer regular eggs. Overall, not a bad place but I wouldn't wait over 30mins for this LOL read more
The ramen was good, but imo it was nothing too special. I got the garlic pork ramen and I really loved the broth! The chashu was just okay, it's not the best or the worst. I found it odd that my ramen came with a quail egg.. and for a reg sized egg, it was at extra cost. Thumbs down!!! It also came with chives (which I normally do not find in ramen places). Takoyaki is delicious and it's exterior is super crisp (i usually do not find takoyaki like this, but i like it!). The squid legs were overcooked. They were super HARD and not chewy at all. read more
I came here because my friend wanted ramen and my other friends have raved about this place. We came here at around 6:30 on a Saturday night and there wasn't much of a wait, which was surprising. We had to put our order in while in line so that when our table is ready, our food would be ready. I got the mild spicy garlic with extra quail eggs - I kind of love that they serve quail eggs. I took this same friend to Ramen Underground and he said it was awful (although I personally really like it) and so I wasn't sure what he was going to think of this one. However, he said that it was good. My ramen was good too but I didn't think it was that special. I do have to say I liked it more than Marufuku in Japantown. We also got an order of chicken wings - that wasn't anything special. Overall, it was good. I don't understand why it's considered so much better than other ramen places but it's affordable and I wouldn't mind coming here again. read more
I usually have no craving for Ramen but this past weekend I decided to try out a place in San Mateo Ca. I was expecting more in Ramen as many of my parent's friend own Ramen places in Hawaii. So I am little more picky of the tastes, the presentation and the type of plates/utensils that was used. 1) Location: Great location for customers traffic, and so so on the parking due to its in a business district and finding parking is a challenge 2) Capacity: Very tradition size of a restaurant. A more cater to Japanese style. Cozy with the space in the restaurant. And the down fall is create a waiting time to dine here but it's good for business as it cut operation cost. 3) Food: 1) Presentation - good; 2) utensils - is ok, prefer bamboo; 3) bowls- good side with deep center and thick on the material. 4) Taste- the ingredients is fresh and well cook and prepare, but the ramen is so so. Too soft and not handmade. 4) Price: the price is ok. Not great , it doesn't match the taste of the food it serve. Estimated per person is $15 to $30. 5) decor: great decoration and feel like dining in Ebisu district in Tokyo Japan. Overall, it's a good place to try and let me know what you think.

Ask the Community - Ramen Dojo
Do you serve vegan ramen?
I would suggest just giving them a call when they're open. They have miso broth as an option, which in theory should be vegan, but not sure about their prep methods and also the default toppings involve pork.
Can I make reservations?
No, you can't make reservations. To-go orders also need to be placed in person.
Do they use MSG in any foods?
Do they noodle and soup contain egg or milk?
They do come with eggs but you can ask to have it taken out. Milk, I'm not sure..I wouldn't think so
How's the wait on weekends evenings?
I haven't been there on weekends/evenings. But lunch is insane. So I would think over an hour wait and I suggest you go 30 mins before it opens and start lining up. It's a tiny place.
Is it really a 35 out of 100 for heath score?
Nah.i think ppl try to key it on the DL so less ppl will go there.
Is it possible to get gluten free ramen here?
I don't think so. They didn't give an option to change to gluten-free noodles.
Is this restaurant good for vegetarians?
Nope. They expressly state on the menu that "ramen is not vegetarian".
