Ramen Dojo - San Mateo

Theres nothing like a bowl full of yummy goodness to make they day better. We stumbled upon Ramen Dojo when trying to find a central location to catch up with ex colleagues...

With over 1300 reviews on Yelp, this place was an instant winner. What we were not prepared for was the wait. This is a very popular lunch location, and with capacity to seat only about 30 people at a time, you must get here early. They open for lunch at 11:30 AM, so be sure to be there by then at the latest to get in on the first seating.

They have 3 choices of broth - soy sauce, garlic pork, and miso. Our favorite is the garlic pork (extra spicy).


The ramen comes with 2 slices of slow roasted pork, mushrooms, fried garlic and chives, and is topped off with a quail egg, so if there is one extra topping we think is a must add, it is the bamboo shoot. The texture adds a lot to a bowl that is already perfect! And at $9.50 a bowl, there is no question that it is great value for money.

If you are a ramen fan, this place is a definite must do!

Bottom Line:
Price - $
Ambience - Casual
Vegetarian friendly - No
