Review: Ramen at Ramen Dojo (Peninsula)
- February 18 · 11:15 AM
The third one on the list is Ramen Dojo. I have only been there once because the line there is always so long. But when I first saw the ramen there, I had tears in my eyes. It is such a beauty. Also their ramen is spicy! Come join me and see where it stands compared to Santouka and Orenchi.
Check out their yelp reviews:

Note: The restaurant opens at 11:30am and there is always a long line waiting for it to open. We should get there before 11:15am to line up. The wait can be 45 minutes to an hour.
Here are some links for you to educate yourself on ramen:

aw, no worries. I did in fact go home and then later go to the doctor (good news is that he thinks I am not contagious at all, yay.) Probably just as well that I was not out drinking. BUT I'm sorry to have missed out on the conversation. Next time!

Sign of a great meetup. When the only reason it has to end is so you can make it in time for the next one. Cheers!

awesome group... nice to see first timers! glad you were able to sign up. as for the ramen, have regular spicy was the perfect punch; a little skimpy on the amount of broth. the quail egg was good but i had it cooked better. overall, if you can not get there by 11am for the 1st sitting, don't bother, the line is too crazy.

A few of us will be there around 11am but everyone should try to get there by 11:30am because they will not sit us until everyone is there. We will break the group up into 2 tables of 4.

OMG...can't believe I didn't see this event! Jealous! This is by far my favorite ramen joint...once waited 90 minutes outside at night in the rain to eat here.
Tip: Get the garlic pork ramen...ADD CORN.

Looks like you need another filter to send you another sms if the email contains the string "ramen dojo"

I live in San Mateo, and I've only been there twice. That's how ridiculous their line is most of the time. :-P
