REVIEW: The Best Place to Get Some Ramen

My family and I had came across this place unexpectedly, because we were just trying to find a place good to eat.  We had checked yelp, and read the reviews; they'd seem pretty good so we decided to give this place a try.



This is probably the best bowl of ramen I've had.  The broth is full of flavor and you can taste all the rich ingredients inside a simple bowl of ramen.

I personally have a really hard time choosing what's on the menu but here at Ramen Dojo, it's quick and easy.  All you have to do is to choose between three broths: soy bean flavor, soy sauce flavor or garlic pork flavor.  You then choose the level of spiciness. And the each bowl of ramen comes with 2 pieces of roasted pork, a fried whole garlic, kikurage mushroom, fresh green chives, a quail egg, chicken gravy(cooked ground chicken, chopped ground chicken, chopped shiitake mushroom, chopped ginger), and shredded red pepper. Lastly, there is a whole list of extra toppings you can choose from but I usually just stick with what they give me, just to keep it even more simple.

We've arrived at Ramen Dojo at exactly 5:30 and there was already a long line waiting at the door.  I was so amazed.  The restaurant didn't even open their doors yet and there was already a huge line.  So we waited for about a good thirty minutes until we could finally be seated.  We were exhausted. 

They had already taken our order before we walked in but there was still a lengthy wait from when we were seated to when the food came.

All three broths were unique in their own way.  The flavors really stood out and I cannot pick which was my favorite.  However, one thing I really liked that most other ramen places don't have is the fried whole garlic.  It went really well with the broth and the noodles.

I wouldn't consider this place to be too expensive because many ramen places out there are setting their prices higher than ever.  All three bowls were the same price, $9.75.  Although there isn't much in this typical bowl of ramen, I think that the flavor is already worth the price. 

I would really recommend this to whoever is like me, that likes to be simple yet likes to taste quality in their bowl of ramen.
