One of the most delicious broths I had ever had, I always end up drinking all of it. The broth has a rich thickness to it I have not found anywhere else. This place easily became my favorite ramen spot, I am going to miss not living as close it it anymore. 10/10 (additional parking along the back near the train tracks)

Used to be good, but not anymore. It’s cheap to force quail eggs on people for ramen and they’re not even remotely as tasty as regular soft boiled chicken eggs. I could tell that the ramen was hastily assembled as the boiled spinach was still cold even though the broth was piping hot. The noodles were too al dente for my taste and the broth mostly tasted bland and oily/peppery. Way, way better options in San Mateo, with much less of a wait and better service. Steer clear if you have had nostalgic feelings for Dojo; the charm is all gone.

One of the best ramen places in San Mateo! Flavorful soup, well-textured noodles, and well-cooked toppings. Soup is very similar to Ramen Parlor and Santa Ramen (all owned by the same owner). It used to be a lot more difficult to get a seat, but due to the explosion of dining options in San Mateo, it’s much easier to get a seat in the small, intimate venue. Plenty of street parking or in the lot behind the restaurant. Fast and friendly service.

After all these years, Ramen Dojo is still solid and one of the best amongst so many newer spots in downtown San Mateo. Our host was warm and attentive. The restaurant is small and very homey.

I’m obsessed with Ramen Dojo! Being just 15 minutes from my place, I finally took the plunge and tried it after months of recommendations.
The service is great, and the Ramen is AMAZING! I’ve tried 4 different plates, and each one is a favorite. I’m hooked now – definitely worth checking out!

Cozy, nice small restaurant which can accommodate up to 36 people. You can easily find parking around the blocks. I went at noon on Monday and the place was 75% full. I was seated quickly at the bar area and my order was taken within 5 minutes. My ramen was served within the next 10 minutes. I got #5 on their new menu, the soft-shelled crab with garlic pork tonkotsu soup. It’s very flavorful and savory. The soft-shelled crab is to die for and the noodles have that right balance of softness and tenderness. Overall, very pleasant experience.

Took the family for the first time for a Saturday lunch. Got lucky with no line for a party of 5. We ordered pork garlic with pork belly and extra noodles. It was very filling meal. We had no spicy, mild, and med spicy. All delicious. Service was outstanding. Street parking was pretty easy. Can’t wait to come back.

5-Stars for the stellar service—the lady that attended me was very considerate, knowledgeable and energetic and set the mood for the dinner vibes. Also, her suggestion of special ramen was right on point. The pork and egg was cooked to perfection and the broth is rich. I enjoyed my ramen very much so. Good quality of music!

Small ramen spot with great customer service, Everything in the menu is delicious!
PS. The extra spicy broth is definitely not made for the weak ;), if you’re adventurous and don’t mind the burn, I would definitely recommend getting it.

The ramen was okay but the karaage was bad.
I ordered a karaage ramen ($19) with garlic pork miso and extra spicy level. I love that it’s actually spicy. But the main star, the karaage, was old karaage that was refried.
Service was nice and the atmosphere was okay.
