Ramen 101

Most restaurants here seem like a deli in the food court, serving international fast food, but they were pretty popular. In fact, we were quite impressed by the quality of Ramen 101. The tonkotsu broth tasted right, though a little too spicy. The seafood ramen wasn't traditional, but it tasted good. So I would say the ramens were in general safe to order. However, the side dishes like agetofu was quite disappointing. It was more like plain fried tofu than the very flavorful tofu in Japanese restaurants. The menu seems to be a mix of Hawaiian and Japanese dishes. Overall, it's a pretty good option for a quick meal.

This was a disappointment. Ordered two ramens: Tonkotsu and Seafood. The taste was not much better than a 50 cent Top Ramen from Walmart. Meat in the ramen was okay, but eggs had blueish tint, not sure why. Reading some good reviews and looking at the photos, this seems like maybe it was an outlier, but we will not be taking chances and skip the next time we're in the area and hungry. The workers were friendly and the place is okay, but I wish the food were better.

Located in the Nut Tree Shopping Center, Ramen 101 is a nice place to get a bowl of ramen. Decent service today for takeout. It was only 4pm on a Friday, so it was not busy. There are plenty of empty tables for dining in, but can get busy around dinner time. We got Tonkatsu Ramen and Black Garlic Ramen that were both tasty. The roasted egg is made well. There could be more ingredients in the ramen, but you can opt to add more ingredients for a cost. There is better ramen 20-30 minutes away, but if you are in Vacaville and want to eat some ramen, then try it out. They do offer other items such as appetizers (starters) and rice plates, so if you are not in the mood for ramen, you can order something else. Today’s experience and flavor of the food is a solid 4.5/5.

Today was a Ramen kind of day. We had our dog so we sat outside. They don’t allow dogs inside the restaurant which we understand. When you sit outside, you have to order ‘to-go’. The inside is not big…probably had 12 tables. Service was good and got our orders fairly quickly. We had the Chasu Rice, Tonkatsu Ramen, Black Garlic Ramen and Karaage Chicken. All were good. I’m not a fan of the star anise ingredient which they use in the Karaage Chicken but my family is ok with it. Overall, it’s a good place for Ramen.

First time having lunch here. We ordered BBQ chicken and beef. The meet was delicious and very flavor. My Wife and the young one ordered Tonkotsu Ramen and they also enjoy it very much. It is so good I am writing the review while eating. Lol

It's hard to say whether it's pre-prepared food.. The noodles are very raw, very salty, the pork chops are hard！ super disappointing, look at the picture is what we have left…

Overall the experience was okay. Ironically I do not recommend the ramen. Was very mid. Barely any flavor. I do however recommend the the BBQ. That was good. (Also. We ordered the ramen with normal spice but they gave us the order with no spice and told us just to throw the chili oil on the table on it and ended it there.)
