ramen do らーめん道

athenticjapaneseramen. my personal guarantee since their first open. way better than too much brandized name in town.

i came here with my family for lunch on a sunday and we arrived at 12pm, which is when they open. by 12:15pm, it was already packed with people. the service was efficient and friendly too with extremely affordable ramen. 

we got the takoyaki to share and it was pretty good, but i'd like to try other sides next time. it is $6 for 6 takoyaki so i'm not too sure if that's a good deal or not as i don't havejapaneseoften. i got the spicy miso ramen with extra pork belly and bbq pork ($16) and i felt it was a flavourful bowl of ramen and not too fatty. the soup had a nice spice to it, not too spicy so you have to drink a glass of water after eating a mouthful and not too weak so you don't feel any spice. you are given sesame seeds to grind up yourself so you can add a nutty flavour into your ramen, which makes it tastier. the bbq pork was a bit dry for my liking but the pork belly melted in my mouth due to the fattiness. the noodles weren't soft/overcooked either, which definitely makes a good bowl of ramen. the rest of my family also got the miso ramen but they had the large-sized ramen and my brother had the kaedama extra. 

ramen do is definitely an affordable place to grab a delicious bowl of ramen and it's in a convenient location too!

ohhh ramen, i can’t get enough of this one. it’s one of the best comfort meals ever made. in my whole existence i had tried many ramens already even the ones in tokyo, osaka and kyoto. the realjapaneseones was so good, they really take their broth so seriously but out of japan its quite a hit and miss for me but not in new zealand. most of the ones i tried here are comparable to the ones in japan, i even made a list on where to get the best ones and one of those was our restaurant for today ramen do.

decentjapaneseramen restaurant in eden terrace.

quite decent ramen in this place, i found mine a bit too salty but the portion and texture was good.

i believe my experience could have been better if i picked a ramen that i normally enjoy instead of something off specials menu.

authentic and full of flavour!
this littlejapaneseramen place is more than you expected. beware their spicy noodles pack a punch! the spiciest ramen i’ve had in auckland!
broth was creamy and great tasting you can’t help but to slurp the noodles to the last drop.
the eggs are authentic ramen noodle ones with soft centre. so good.

food 5/5
service 5/5
accessibility 4/5 (parking could be very hard to find nearby, but worth the walk)

thisjapaneseplace is more authentic than the last jap place i ate at, i had the miso soup ramen and the ramen was well made to the correct gauge and bite and soup hearty, had a bok choy biff in for a extra buck too.
very well patronized with friendly nice looking  staff working there, site located in that forgotten part of symond street.

we have been to a few ramen eateries and though some of them are actually quite good, the standout for ramen do is its value for money. for most ramen eateries, we often only get one piece of pork belly whereas with ramen do, we actually got quite a few pieces. i actually thought that they might have taken the order for the bigger bowl but that was not the case. so for $12 it is actually quite worthwhile. also, the soup is not overall salty and the noodles are handmade. the ponzu chicken is also unique. the only thing that is different from what i am used to was the agedashi tofu. it was served in a thick soup. i am not sure whether it is ajapanesething but this may catch some people off guard. next time i would try their tonkatsu ramen that comes with a separate bowl of sesame seeds/paste.

really loved this place. ten-ten would go back again. portions were rly big for about nzd 12-13, but the main highlight of this place was the soup base used for the ramen. it was everything you could want from a hearty ramen soup and more. their noodles were slightly different from the straight common variety easily found in most restaurants and are slightly curly but not as curly as instant noodles. they also had the authenticjapanesetea egg in their ramen which all of the otherjapaneserestaurants that i've been to lacked. all in all, give this place a try if you wanna experience authenticjapanesecuisine at low prices. no complaints at all.

my journey to find good ramen continued. in auckland i found lots ofjapaneseimmigrant means lots of authenticjapaneseresto. finally i decided on this one, the ramen bowl is big serve, and the taste not disappointing at all. i totally reccomended this place to anyone.

the ramen's really good here really traditionaljapaneseramen that made me feel like i was in tokyo!!! the grilled pork belly! omg sooo yummmm! thanks for the good food with reasonable price and good service. the dumplings were juicy tasty too! we only saw one chief cooking in a small kitchen busy all the time so well done chief. had armageddon show on that day so some people dressed up funny crazy to come here made us laughed a while.

i come here several times, the staff is always friendly and the service is good.
it's a little traditionaljapaneseramen restaurant, but i feel cozy and quiet. i enjoy eating here.
every time i order spicy miso soup ramen and my partner orders normal miso soup ramen. they put white sesame in a little bowel next to the noodle. you will smell a light aroma of sesame after grinding it, and then put them into the noodle and mix them. wow, so beasutiful......

as a big fan of ramen, i have been eyeing this place up and j finally had a chance to try today.
my friend and i ordered hokkaido spicy miso ramen with extra pork, spicy shrimp ramen with corns and cha mayo (tuna mayo onigiri)

despite all the hype about this place, i didnt quite enjoy my miso ramen. the soup was covered with overly fried vegetable flavour (burnt flavour). this kinda oily burnt flavour goes well with seafood noodles but not with pork noodles. the soup was too salty. the saltiness is still on my tongue right now as i am writing this review 1 and a half hours after the meal. they said noodles are handmade but hmmm.. i am sorry to say but noodle's texture was just like instant ramen.
cha mayo was just bland.i lovejapanesemayonnaise. i don't know what mayo they use but it was really bland.

i am not saying the ramen was terrible but its definitely not the best ramen in town.
the presentation of the ramen was good. the portion was generous too.
i still think maruten ramen does a whole lot better ramen than this place.

ramen do is considered one of the best places to eat the famousjapanesesoup 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.

amazingjapaneseramen 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 :)

w.o.w.
their noodles are divine. went here on a cold rainy day had a noodles and everything were just great. good customer service and cheap eat for truejapaneseramen. hai!
