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)
My wife and I were in the area for some last minute Christmas shopping, and we wanted to get something warm for the weather. I haven't had Ramen Dojo since approximately 2015(?) so it had been long overdue. I remember it being really good a decade ago. I ordered the garlic pork tonkotsu and my wife had the creamy corn. I also added a fried soft shell crab. Both of our broths were really rich and savory. We were initially skeptical about the corn broth, but it was interesting; it didn't have a strong corn taste but you could definitely tell it was there. My pork tonkatsu was pretty standard, not in a bad way but not in a way the stands out from any other ramen shop. My only complaints would be that the serving size is a little small, the standard toppings are a little skimp, and the broth was a little too salty for our taste. Despite the nitpicky things we still enjoyed our meal and it was a nice warm lunch on a cold winter day. While my nostalgia probably carried my fondness for this ramen shop all these year, maybe times have changed everything and I'm just now noticing. Either way I will definitely make my way back again.
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!
