Ramen Shop

“Phenomenal chicken shoyu ramen and black sesame ice cream sandwich. Also not pictured but ordered tempura veggies and pickled cabbage to share, great apps! Also would like to highlight the outstanding service from Alicia! She checked on our table several times after ordering and was very warm and polite. All in all, one of my favorite ramen places in the east bay!”

“We sat at the counter. Watching the cooks prep dishes was very interesting. They had a good flow and good communication while working very quickly to get dishes out. We ordered crispy full belly bintje potatoes to start - it was served piping hot so be careful. The potatoes were perfectly crispy on the outside and creamy on the inside. The curry sauce was mild enough for me to handle. The pickled carrots had a crisp freshness to them. I had a Under the Cherry Moon mocktail with Hokkaido miso ramen. I also tried a bite of the Liberty Farms duck shoyu ramen. Everything was highly flavorful. The noodles had a good bite to them. The ratio of noodles, toppings, and broth was just right. And no cheap bean sprout fillers.”

“This place is a foodies dream. Revolving ramen selections, elevated dishes with thoughtful ingredients, always super fresh, and a fantastic bar program too! This is one of the east bay’s top 10 eateries for sure.”

“Perhaps, sadly, our Ramen Shop days are over especially when you spend (with tip) $140.00 for 2 people who have 1 app, 1 cocktail, 2 bowls of ramen and 1 dessert. Host is excellent, then you sit down and are essentially ignored for 8-15 min after arriving. Cocktails are good. Ramen was excellent. It always is. However, $28-35 per bowl of ramen is an extraordinary amount to pay for ramen. A humble dish, elevated to gourmet culinary status here. Now you pay 5% for staff healthcare, you don’t get an itemized bill and tipping on the CC machine starts at 20%. They NEED to give patrons an itemized bill. You should NOT be tipping on the 5% healthcare fee and the tax. What is noticeable are fewer people in the restaurant from years past. Perhaps too expensive for most people.”

“I’ve been wanting to come here for so long and I didn’t like it 🥲 The matsutake mazeman was topped with raw mushrooms which was so strange to me. The flavor of matsutake really comes out when it’s cooked so I didn’t really taste its flavor :( The noodle texture is good but the sauce was like a yuzu vinger and soy sauce and wasn’t very special. The tonkatsu ramen was pretty thick and not that flavorful to me but I only had a few bites. The turnip cakes were really overpowered by the sauce so I couldn’t taste what was going on in the center nor the matsutake in it. I loved the texture though - crunchy outside and a gooey inside. 2 ramens and 1 app, no drinks came to $99 w tip.”
