Nowadays, many places have slip/card systems to expedite orders. Like color-coded slips for "oomori", "garlic", "veggies", "egg" and so on.

If it's your first time visiting one of these shops, don't try to customize though, just order the ramen "as-is" (at most, maybe add garlic if you want). That way you get the default flavor first. The standard bowl is already fine-tuned just the way the master likes it. After you come back a second or third time, then you can start changing things up to find what style you like.
