ramen do らーめん道

recently went to raman do and ordered the hokkaido with spicy pork takeaway. i made the mistake of not checking the order when it was ready (not something i would expect to do if im only 1 of 2 people in the restaurant), when i got home i found i had the wrong order. i called up and the person on the phone could not understand me at all. i was passed over to someone else who also could not understand me..the order i ended up with was slimy noodles with little to no flavor. do not recommend.

not the best ramen i've ever tried. the soup is not rich enough buy the pork belly is very nice. we ordered gyoza too and that's the worst gyoza i've ever eaten, too much white pepper and it's not very fresh.
don't think i'll be returning again unless i really crave for some ramen. portion is big though, me and my bf both can't finish our own ramen.

ramendo – meaning “the way of the ramen” - has been voted one of the top 100 metro cheap eats in 2014 and they are famously said to take two days to create their signature stock! a petite little eatery on upper symonds, they serve a selection of soy, salt and miso-based ramen. if you're more of a rice fan, there's donburi, as well as your typical sides of edamame and gyoza. their steady stream of customers consists usually of hungry male university students and we were quick to find out why. the bowls of ramen were huge, with ample servings of charshu pork, spring onions, bean sprouts, kikurage, springy noodles and — get this —a beautiful soft-boiled egg with an ember translucent centre. the mini mortar and pestle set with roasted sesame seeds was also a nice touch. the hot, hearty soup had us slurping and sweating in the faux-leather seats - in hindsight, this'd be better suited for the winter months when you are craving for something rich, nourishing and good for the wallet.

ramen do is considered one of the best places to eat the famous japanese soup in auckland, ranking high in some famous lists.

so, be prepared for waiting to be seated, specially if you are with a group of friends.

i went alone and got the last chair in the counter. after that i was expecting to have an amazing ramen, but that was not the case.

it was good, but far from being the best in auckland. still think places like ramen takara, tanpopo ramen and ramen lab offer better food and service.

this place serves incredible ramen. i have visited japan many times and the ramen at ramen do is the real deal. it's like i am on holiday all over again. the hokkaido ramen is particularly tasty.

their takoyaki is really authentic with it not fully cooked inside = delicious and reminded me of japan!!! i ordered the hokkaido spicy miso ramen for $13 and it was huuuuuge and there was a lot of veggies in it too, which i'm not used to. the only negative thing about their ramen could be that the meat is dry? soup base was delicious and i can't wait to try their other ramen! definitely going back for more takoyaki at least !

amazing japanese ramen noodle place. great place for lunch especially for those working in the city. first time here and greatly impressed with their vegetarian ramen soup noodles. huge bowl packed generously with vegetables, egg and seaweed. their broth is so tasty and no msg in it. you can taste the quality of their broth. my friend ordered their beef ramen noodle soup. her opinion was the broth was delicious and definitely brewed for ages giving it full of flavour.

for 12 bucks a bowl it's definitely worth it for a hearty meal on a cold day :)

the broth, the noodles, the flavours, the portion, the value, the friendlessness, the authenticity.... ahhhhh ramen do will simply make your day. trust me.

went here on a friday night and lucky there are some free parking nearby.

it was quite full and pretty quiet. music was really faint and all i hear is people and their spoon and fork. (probably just a quiet crowd haha)

the lady serving seems a bit lost but probably because its only two of them are running the shift.

ordered the spicy miso base ramen with porkbelly and beef while my gf had the small teriyaki chicken.

the teriyaki chicken was tasty and cheap for its portion. good for small portion eaters.

my ramen was legit that it has rich flavours. mixture of vegetables, egg, tasty meat and yummy soup. you also get to grind some fresh sesame seeds. you can share this!

food was pretty good but ambience and service was a bit of a let down.

i've been looking for a good ramen place in auckland i think this place is it. although it is not one of nice-looking restaurants but it delivers you good quality ramen. i had my ramen along with takoyaki and it was one of the best in auckland. for those who are craving for a something warm for the coming winter, i strongly recommend this ramen place. if you like broth with rich and heavy taste, go with either salt based or miso. otherwise, you can try soy based which is light and clean taste.

best ramen we've had in auckland. spicy miso ramen was tasty, as was the chicken and pork based broth my partner had. very filling. well deserved spot in the top cheap eats. will be back. soon.

generally one of the places i go to for ramen since they do it so well. i normally go with the hokkaido ramen with extra pork belly. the broth is always tasty and the toppings are just as nice. also like the option of grinding your own sesame seeds so you can make it as fine or rough as you want. they also have other goodies such as dons and gyozas.

dropped in here after a visit to the pet shop. wow. this could quite possibly be the best ramen i've had (and i've had a lot..) i got the salty broth and extra pork - and everything was more than satisfactory. the broth wasn't overwhelming and didn't get sickening before i got to the end of my bowl - the egg was cooked perfectly, and the noodles were tasty (perhaps a tiny bit undercooked). the bbq pork was .. bbq pork, i can't say it was really special but i really have no complaints.

the restaurant is spacious and has a good vibe - service was polite and wow it's a cheap eat. i recommend if you're in the mood for ramen that you give this a try.

tried this restaurant today for dinner and ordered a portion of takoyaki, for main we ordered one most famous miso ramen and one teriyaki don buri. it was amazing!! the miso broth on the ramen was fantastic, they grilled the bbq pork on top of the ramen as well so we can taste a bit of smokey flavor on the broth as well! they can make it spicy (by request) for the spicy food lovers! teriyaki chicken has a beautiful flavor sweet and tangy chicken over the rice and salad. price is reasonable and the service was good. i will definitely come back in the future😋😋

yummy ramen any day of the week! got the tuke men which is the cold ramen with dipping sauce. perfect in summer if you want something filling!
