Ramen 101 Stockton - Japanese restaurant in Stockton - 866 W Benjamin Holt Dr, USA

Walked in and was quickly greeted. We decided to eat in, we ordered our food and we found an empty table and sat down. This place is pretty small inside so it gets filled up pretty fast but there is seating inside. We ordered a kids ramen (this thing was huge 😂), seafood ramen, chicken ramen, shrimp tempura and also bbq chicken & katsu. Everything tasted really good. The only real complaint is the restaurant was a little dirty and the garbage cans were overflowing.

Greeted upon entering. They have tables set up outside if you want to be outdoors. Ordering is on your right after entering, and the menu is on the monitors right above. After ordering, you're given a number and can sit anywhere. Water was given in clear plastic cups/lid, which was nice. The chicken katsu was pretty good. The portions were pretty big. I was only able to eat half the plate.

Nice well-lit interior. If you don’t mind sitting close, it’s doable. Efficient and quick service. Next time I’m going to pick from the Hawaiian BBQ menu.

Wow the ramen taste so deliciously good. Pay first before you eat. Pricey but you get what you pay for and its worth it. Small place and gets full right away but you can option for a take out if its full. Definitely will come back again.

I found a new favorite! Ramen 101 is very clean; good vibes for dining inside/outside. The delicious smell of seafood ramen and Hawaiian bbq drew me in. Staff were nice and server was friendly she even brought me my togo order as I was outside taking pics. The food was delicious! 😋

DAY 1 I can see why they were busy. In the afternoon is the busiest hours. I’d prefer ordering ahead of time. I spent about $30 for two ramens and two spam musubi. It was totally worth the price. If the tables are unavailable, you are always able to take it to go. It comes in a nice sturdy plastic bowl and the broth comes separate from the noodles. I was highly satisfied with my to go order! :) DAY 2 I went back the next day, and got a chicken ramen! It was delicious!! Finally got to seat inside! Seating is a little competitive. It’s first come first serve! So I alway make sure to go there at least 10 to 15 minutes early than I plan to be there. I definitely love the freshness of the ramen and was happy I was able to enjoy the food there. The spam musubi is loaded with rice but it doesn’t stop my cravings for some Ramen 101. Overall, It was delicious! :)

Great atmosphere here and the service is okay too but that doesn't make up for the taste of the ramen. It's definitely fast food McDonald's Style ramen. A lot of people come just like I did to probably see if it was good as my friend's daughter told me about... She's a teenager that prefers fast food. Skip it and go to an authentic place.

This was my 2nd visit. I am giving an average rating because I know the food can be better than what I experienced today. On my first visit, I had a delicious bowl of charsu ramen and an order of Spam misubi which was also good. This time around, I tried the Hawaiian BBQ Mix Plate, Kaki fries (fried oysters) and Spam misubi. The oysters were tasty and served hot with a siracha mayo dipping sauce. Though the BBQ plate and misubi had good flavor, the rice was not cooked well. When rice is a crucial part of a dish, it needs to be cooked properly otherwise the dish is a disaster. I was very disappointed in my meal, and so was my dad as he had the Hawaiian BBQ beef plate. According to my mom, the seafood ramen was good. Please get the rice right next time!
