This was the worst ramen I have ever had. The broth was bland, noodles were soggy and seemed to come out of a pre made package, and the smell of the restaurant was awful. read more

Ramen Station - Ramen Near Me - Madison, Wisconsin

I've tried several different places over the years (including Tavernakaya, Umami, and Ramen Kid, which ranged from meh to sad) and this is the best in this Ramen-God-forsaken town. The broth on the tonkatsu, which I consider the most important, was rich and savory. The noodles were neither undercooked nor mushy. The toppings were of an adequate amount. An extremely satisfying meal. I took a star off for the service. It took a while for the bowls to come out, and our server didn't come to check on us at all throughout the meal. All in all, highly recommended and I will be back. I hope that their food quality is consistent and that their service kinks will work out over time as they are brand new. read more

Stopped in to try this, but wasn't too impressed. The gyoza dumplings were OK. I don't have ramen often, but I found the brown egg in my ramen a little strange. Overall, just OK. read more

I went on a Saturday night with a group of four. The interior is spacious and clean, and we all ordered different types of ramen. The tonkatsu ramen was delicious -- the broth was savory and substantial, and quite a few pork slices were included! The presentation was stylish as well. Everyone left with full tummies and no complaints. They also have their own parking lot! read more

Service was friendly and quite fast - that usually results in an automatic boost in my rating since this CAN be a killer if its the opposite. I tried the vegetarian ramen which I am kind of a noob in regards to so I can only really compare it to Vegetarian pho-although they are different beasts. Serving size/price was very fair with a heaping large bowl. I highly recommend adding hot sauce to the broth with this as the white broth was very neutral flavored...or maybe I just like spicy food. I'll definitely try there again after a farmer's market or something. read more

Place is packed for dinner the first night! Food is wonderful and everyone seems pretty happy. The whole mackerel is pretty awesome. Come try them now before you must wait forever to get a table read more

We are back again we order to go food this time wow even there to go containers are worth saving. My only complaint is I wish We lived closer. Super clean place. Friendly service read more

I've been here twice now and I really love it. The miso ramen is delish and fast to the table. The service could be better, but I'm hoping that will get better in time. read more

I'm going to keep this review simple: Don't eat here. A) Food not very tasty B) Some of it (tako yaki) will actually make you sick Too bad. The decor is beautiful and the service adequate. read more

Live on the near south side of downtown? Looking for ramen? Well you have to visit Ramen Station. I have eaten there many times mostly for take out and they have never disappointed! My goto is the Tonkotsu Miso Ramen, which is a pork broth with sliced pork tenderloin and it's so good! If you like spicy food ask to have the Tonkotso made spicy. They have a Spicy Tonkotsu; however it comes with ground pork, which doesn't compare to the sliced pork tenderloin. For an app you can't go wrong with the Gyoza and I also get a side of the the Japanese fried rice. read more

Better than Umami Ramen, Kid Ramen, String ramen. If you want an authentic Japanese dinner that taste the best compared to all of its competitors go here. Ramen station not only has the best food for the best price, they have the best service and are super helpful. Dine in or Togo try Ramen Station! Treat yourself! read more

I was pleasantly surprised by how much I liked this place. The inside is decorated really nicely and the staff is friendly. The food was really tasty and the portions generous. The meat skewers were the highlight of my meal. I had ramen and calamari as well, both were yummy. I will definitely be back! read more

Awful. 0 stars. Placed an order via app for delivery. Store called 75 minutes later to tell me they couldn't deliver (either out of area or no delivery driver; there were mixed messages). I called back to make sure the order was cancelled so my money would be refunded and was told "That's not my responsibility" read more

We had a few skewers to start and they were very nice. The tonkatsu ramen was very good, as said before the egg was a little over cooked but the broth was nice and the pork slices were very good fell apart into nice little bits to eat with the noodles. So the service was very good to. I will be going back, and back. read more

Is it bad that I went to a Ramen noodle place and liked the fried rice the best? The meat (beef and chicken) seemed a bit chewy and "lower grade" to me. But that rice....mmmm! I'd go back for it if I was in the area. read more

I had the tonkotsu ramen here. I really liked the flavor of the ramen and the meat was pretty good. However the noodles themselves were not to my liking. The texture was kind of similar to packaged ramen, it was sort of slippery and mushy. read more

Very good. Overall had great service and the food was delicious. Will be back for more.

Food was really good. I we had the mackerel pike skewer, the bacon wrapped mushroom skewers. We also had the tonkotsu ramen, and the tonkotsu miso ramen. It was all delicious. The service was really good. There was no wait as we got there right when the opened, and the place was pretty busy so that is always a good sign. Great food. Good Job!!!! read more

I've been to Ramen Station on four separate occasions, so I really have given it a chance. The second and fourth visits (months apart) both resulted in food poisoning. After the the first night spent hugging the toilet, I thought it might have been a fluke? The most recent visit confirmed that it was not. The bacon wrapped asparagus may have been the common denominator, but at this point I'm not willing to gamble again to find out. The ramen is actually pretty tasty though, so if you're up for a 50/50 coin flip, go for it. I'd recommend one of the multiple other ramen locations in Madison instead (Morris, Umami, Ramen Kid), as I've never encountered similar issues there. I probably should've heeded the multiple "the food here made me sick" reviews of Ramen Station... read more

My fave ramen place in Madison! Lots of options, reasonable pricing. Great apps- edamame and shrimp fried rice. The shoyu and tonkotsu miso are my faves- great for the family too! read more

Stopped in today for lunch after a doctors appointment. Had read some good reviews, thought we'd give Ramen Station a try. Our party of three brought the total of people in the restaurant to three. A young lady in a Ramen Station tee shirt greeted us as we walked in the door. She seated us, and disappeared. After 10 minutes we looked around and she was at a table eating her lunch. We figured that if the front of the house was this bad, why take a chance on the back. For the first time EVER, we got up and walked out. So sad! read more

Ok this place is great! We're from California and know ramen so we can attest that it's authentic and good!

I liked this Ramen. Honestly, the noodles were a little under cooked, but the pork was so tender and delicious and everything had a great flavor. My boyfriend and I ordered two different noodle bowls and both thoroughly enjoyed them. He was a little disappointed that the menu listed his as having beef, and it was ground beef. We also had a dumpling appetizer that was fantastic. The menu itself was pretty limited as far as variety goes, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. The restaurant was beautiful and had a cozy ambience that I thought was really nice. And the service was lovely, too. read more

Ramen Station - Ramen Station noodle bowls. - Ramen Near Me - Madison, Wisconsin

I was excited that there was a new ramen place in town. But I was disappointed in the end. I ordered the tonkotsu miso ramen and karaage. The broth was very salty, when i mentioned this to my waitress she graciously brought it back to the kitchen where they added more liquid to make it less salty. That made it edible but otherwise the general flavor was lacking. The egg didn't have much flavor but the pork belly was good. I would have appreciated more noodles since they were quickly gone. The karaage wasn't edible. It was more rubbery than crispy and looked (and tasted) as though it had been rolled in msg and/or salt. I had two bites and couldn't eat another. My lips were caked in salt. Not impressed overall. Hope they can make some improvements. read more

Food was fantastic and so was the customer service. I placed and order for delivery through EatStreet. Unfortunately, the EatStreet driver never showed up to pick up and deliver the order. Someone from Ramen Station personally delivered my food and profusely apologized. This is a business that not only serves up good food but also knows how to treat their customers. read more

The skewers are so tasty!!!! Ramen is average but as good as you can find in Madison.

Excellent service, glasses were never empty. This was a bit of a new experience for us as we haven't frequented similar restaurants. I had the Miso Ramen and loved it!! Hubby had a Yuko Beef and it was very yummy, they made it spicy on request. Will be back for sure! read more

Tried for dinner. The waitstaff was very pleasant and the place appeared bright and clean. But I kind of felt like the ramen was missing something. Not sure what. The jasmine hot tea was very good though. We will most likely give it another try. read more

The broth was good. The noodles were okay. The meat was pathetic and nothing like the pictures. Not rushing back anytime soon.

Best place of ramen and skewer in Madison. I ordered the squid skewer and tokoyso miso ramen. Like it very much!

Good but not great been there twice and the spicy tonkatsu ramen was definitely my favorite.

Had to try this place as soon as I heard of it, and it was really good. I will definitely return, it's delicious and a nice change of pace from the norm. read more
