Suggestions for Ramen Restaurant near Chinatown, Oakland

Cameron W. • September 17, 2017Best Ramen in Oakland and perhaps the entire east bay. The tonkotsu broth was in the top 3 I have ever had (ippudo NYC, Diakokuya LA). The key is the intense browned pork flavor that comes through.

Alex K. • January 2, 2015More validation that #21 with mixed noodles is a thing 🍜

Joey C. • August 1, 2017The Spicy Ramen is pretty amazing but definitely add the chilli oil to amp it up!

Ronan F. • January 20, 2016The chicken is all good, and the side salads are all delicious too. I usually get the ramen bowl! Great food at very reasonable prices

Craig V. • October 11, 2020Tonkatsu DX ramen is absolutely fantastic. So much delicious pork! Gyoza are also excellent. Brought me back to Tokyo.

Adrian P. • July 23, 2016Be sure to give the pork ramen (with the rich miso broth) a try. Add an extra egg & pork if you're hungry. The tuna rice bowl is also delicious if you're looking for something to compliment the ramen

Henry T. • June 10, 2019Arguably best ramen in SF (that and Mensho)

Mike W. • December 29, 2016Without a doubt, one of the best ramen joints in SF. The classic Iza Ramen has a rich, soothing tonkotsu broth, thick slab of tender char siu pork, and a perfectly soft-boiled egg. WinstonWanders.com

Daniel M. • August 12, 2014Uhhhh, the ramen ;) … poooork!

Tiff A. • January 22, 2017Great service! Chicken wings, spring rolls were great. Nice stiff drinks!

Ricky S. • March 12, 2012New vegetarian gem in Oakland. They are super nice, use fresh ingredients, and the restaurant itself is spotlessly clean. Check it out!

Wes Y. • February 10, 2012Great dumplings, good Cantonese food - and open till 2am :)

Bobbie M. • July 19, 2017Karage and the spicy tonkotsu ramen were both very good. Large portions. Broth and noodles definitely not going to beat the best in the city but good overall.

Angie C. • January 28, 2023Get the steamed bean curd and taro dessert!

Pam S. • November 3, 2011The porridge and duck is awesome!

Hanna L. • December 30, 2012Best vegetarian orange chicken I've had! Perfectly light and crispy on the outside.

kc! B. • April 5, 2017Vegetarians, try the "Every green curry ramen" (I like to add extra noodles and corn too). Yum!

Andrew P. • December 7, 2015Nice cozy spot. Chicken marsala and cream Brulé were delicious

sabler • September 13, 2022The classic tonkatsu is great, add a spicy bomb!

Jodie S. • April 25, 2015Deep fried pork cutlet Ramen in spicy broth is the way to go.

Phillip C. • September 23, 2010Cheap and delicious... and open late... A great place to go for the beer munchies after The Trappist.

Richard L. • November 8, 2009Great for a nicer Chinese dinner in Oak, or for dim sum. Very fresh seafood.

LeVan G. • December 11, 2015This was my first time at this new spot. The fried chicken sandwich was delicious and the staff are very friendly. It appears the menu changes monthly.

Trevor H. • May 14, 2016The service here is fast, friendly, and it's hella cozy in here. The vegetable udon is delicious and filling, and the miso soup is amazing. But when is miso soup NOT amazing? 😋
