Dohatsuten Ramen Tapas

We wanted a hole in a wall place to have lunch while in this area. We looked up this place ahead of time and headed over here after our morning activity. Has their own lot and two men and women restroom located outside in their parking lot. Indoor and outdoor seating. We opted for indoor and the man who checked us in got us a high chair for our little one. Lamented menus and the decor is very outdated and homey. Service is a minimal which we are perfectly fine with. The food took a while to come out even though we arrived shortly after they opened at 11am and it wasn't overly busy.

Met up with a friend at this sweet, humble ramen spot in Palo Alto. It 's a good thing she said that the restaurant was pretty unassuming from the front because I otherwise would have missed it.

We shared a tonkotsu ramen and the pumpkin croquette and shiro-maguro tataki appetizers. The ramen was delicious and well-cooked (chewy noodles, fresh veggies, and great “jelly” egg). That was a 5 star. The kabocha kurokke was okay (4 stars) and the tataki meh (3 stars). On a previous trip I recall getting the shiro-maguro ponzu don and it was very good. So I was a little disappointed. We were encouraged to eat indoors. We were told, “it’s cooler”. However I would opt for the outdoor seating in the future although it is roadside. Service was quick at the start and efficient through meal delivery.

I live close by, so my parents get food here a lot :DMy favourite dish is the curry don! It's what gets me to come back every time.One thing I've noticed, however, was the decrease in the ramen's quality? It used to be better. I don't know.
