Ramen Danbo

An amazing Ramen place that would live up to your Ramen craving!! Really enjoyed the veg and pork Ramen and great spice levels available. Have good options for ice cream and sides as well ! Must try if I'm the area you'll visit again !Food: 5/5

I was pleasantly surprised by @ramendanbo_usa! I was able to customize everything from the thickness of the broth to the softness of the noodles. Just like I would in Japan The seasonal special tomato ramen was pretty yummy, and the tonkotsu broth was thick and flavorful as well! It would just be better if it can come out steamy hot!

I have tried many ramen restaurants and the taste from Ramen Dando is really good. The ramen is not too soft or too hard. I ordered the Negi-goma ramen with many sesame on the top and it smells good. No wonder this restaurant is very busy even on weekday noon time.

I’m confused. When I went for dine-in, I had a wonderful experience. The food was absolutely delicious and filling. When I ordered takeout, I was so disappointed with what I got, and it seemed like barely any food. Is the takeout portion size smaller than the dine-in portion size? I’m actually really curious. The attached photo is of the complete takeout portion. I’m giving 4 stars, but what I really mean is: 5 stars for dine-in, 2 or 3 stars for takeout.

Delicious cozy little place, there is usually a wait if you come for dinner. If you go by yourself, they usually have space for you! The table set up has customers facing each other up on bar seats. There are a few regular tables as well. When ordering, you can customize your ramen accordingly. The waiters use a few Japanese words. The taste and the setting reminds me of the ramen places I went to in Japan. I would definitely recommend for a delicious ramen experience.

I hate writing bad reviews, but I feel obligated to do so when restaurants grossly under deliver. Came to Ramen Danbo on a cold, rainy Thursday night anticipating a warm environment and a hearty, nourishing bowl of ramen. God, was I wrong. Before arrival, we had already put our names down for table for 4, the waiting time was projected to be 30 minutes, of which we obliged. After waiting in their outdoor seating booths which were NOT heated or enclosed, for around twenty minutes, my party noticed that the table we were waiting for had long finished their meal and paid. Noticing that they had finished paying for their meal, I went inside to inquire about our wait time. I spoke to Rafeena, who had responded that we still had 10 more minutes and advised to wait outside until our table was ready. I briefly mentioned the table that had paid and requested that she remind them that there were other customers waiting. Rafeena flippantly responded "we don't kick our customers out, you wouldn't want that done to you, would you?" Her response felt very passive-aggressive and uncalled for, but I decided to overlook her verbal attack on me. After waiting outside for 10 minutes, we saw that the table started getting ready to leave. Excited to escape the rain and harsh weather, we relocated to the warmer waiting area of the restaurant in hopes of being seated. To our dismay, Ethan, our waiter, told us that we would have wait outside until our table was ready--we would have to wait another 2-3 minutes in the cold. And thus, we waited again, outside, in the cold, December rain, for our table. Finally we got seated and waited to order our food. We waited quite a bit because we managed to finish all of our water before even ordering. We had to ask multiple times for someone to refill our water. I was not happy with the lack of service and attention that our table received. After 2 rounds of water, we finally ordered. We got 4 bowls of ramen, 2 orders of gyoza, and 2 draft beers. The chashu wasn’t good, as the fat was not rendered and the meat was tough. The ramen broth was extremely disappointing, it lacked flavor and richness, all I could taste was scallions and salt. The gyozas were okay, but they were very greasy and came with scrapings from the bottom of the pan. I'm not sure if they did this to be snarky on purpose, but my friends and I agreed that we felt as if something was off with their waitstaff. At the end of the meal, Sam, another waiter, quickly presented our bill. What happened to not rushing your customers out the door? I almost wanted to ask for Rafeena, but I already knew that arguing with this staff would have been a waste of time, effort, and patience that I was quickly running out of especially after waiting in the cold rain, waiting for water, waiting to order--after a full night of waiting. After a night of being frustrated, neglected, and abused, we collectively decided that this restaurant did not deserve a tip. Tipping is meant to be a gesture that reflects upon the quality of the service that was offered to the customer and we decided that a tip was not something that Ramen Danbo earned that night because of the disrespectful way that staff mistreated us. After paying and skipping to tip, our waiter, Ethan, aggressively proclaimed "thanks!" and to that I responded "you're welcome." He continued to ignore us when we left and even glared at us through the window once we left. The reason why my friends and I will not be returning to Ramen Danbo is not because the food is underwhelming, but because the service is absolutely unacceptable. Ramen Danbo is an establishment that serves average food, but employs indifferent, condescending, uncaring staff. I have never felt so ignored, unimportant, and disrespected at a restaurant in my life. To think that we paid for a meal where we were continuously told to wait outside in the rain and were repeatedly overlooked, is baffling. Save yourself the nuisance and go to a different ramen spot, steer clear from Ramen Danbo in Brooklyn and their toxic staff.

I was skeptical about reading other reviews stating that this place had, “THE BEST RAMEN”!? Well, my skepticism was proven wrong! The ramen is spectacular, the flavor, the noodles, I can’t seem to find the right words to describe how amazing the food is! And the Chashu Pork Donburi, it literally made me short circuit, packed full of favor! Wow!! The Best Ramen I have ever tasted! Come try it for yourself!

Dirty environment with so many fly around the chili sauce and soy sauce on the table. We’d other two Ramen one with soft noodle the other one with extra soft noodle but they all come with hard noodle. one ramen with ligh broth the other one with original broth, but they come with the same, I tasted no different between two. Broth was taste okay, but overall experience was not okay. Won’t come back anymore. The one is for the broth, otherwise I will rate zero

Had the Curry ramen winter season and the Tonkotsu ramen. Both great! A bit on the spicy side, but nothing we couldn’t handle. If you don’t like spicy though, ask first about it. Great service, cozy space. You can personalize the noodles, toppings, and broth. Would come back!

Absolutely love this location, the broth is full of flavor in the traditional ramen. The portion is a perfect size and I simply enjoy coming here due to their cleanliness. Their mochi is my favorite too!
