Easily in the top 3 of ramen places in the Bay . You know they are serious about noodles when you see the Tampopo poster in the restroom . First ever vegetarian ramen I actually liked!
Arrive early to hold a table in the long lines . Grab a cocktail or Japanese whiskey from the bar and find a seat among the architectural nooks. The rich ramen with al dente noodles are with the wait.
Trendy place with Chez Panisse pedigree. The veg toppings are original, the noodles are very good and the miso broths are very thick on the tongue . Great flavor, very well done. A bit pricey .
Pretty nice selection of drinks here, got the $15 Prairie Bomb! Stout , was excellent. The fried rice appetizer was awesome, and I tried the Veggie Shoyu Meyer Lemon Ramen , was pretty fantastic.
hopelessly hooked on the miso but the smokey bbq beef shoyu almost stole my heart. pickle plate is perfect. large fried rice take home leftovers for a scramble tomorrow morning. tampopo bathroom ????
That miso ramen will live in my dreams. The best I’ve had in the states in a LONG time.
The fried rice is surprisingly good, and comes in app and entree portions. All of the ramen is tasty (and overpriced), but it’s a fun atmosphere with great drinks and a hip vibe.
Thin, moist brown-butter cookies cradle rich black-sesame ice cream in the perfect combo of savory and sweet--the black sesame ice-cream sandwich . Read more
Pork miso ramen is tops. Good cocktails and beer selection . Great atmosphere. They also serve brunch ! Beignets are amazing.
Delicious Ramen and an impressive whiskey selection , but sitting at the ramen bar and watching them prepare your food is the best part
They do pastries , coffee , and tea on weekend mornings. Their matcha bear claw is super.
Delicious ramen ! The menu is always changing and yet everything is always good. Poke and the fried rice is delish!
The miso ramen is absolutely incredible. One of my top 3 ramens including NY & SF. Just as rich and hearty as the best tonkotsu .
The ramen is killer! My friend had the garlic duck and I had the spicy miso . Both KILLED. Great bar as well ; the bartender made a fantartic Scofflaw.
Great ambience, amazing flavors. Don't forget to get the tempura fried spring onion before your ramen .
Everything was good here the service the freshness of the food special drinks and the atmosphere I will be a frequent customer. Thank you for all your hard work. You all make a great team.
Unbelievably delicious veggie ramen , the mushrooms and tomato were so flavorful! The ramen noodles themselves were not my favorite, but the broth and toppings were exquisite.
Soup and salted-egg are awesome. Very delicate. Noodle doesn't seem authentic ramen noodle , which is a bit disappointing, but overall, great stuff! Try Miso or Tantanmen as well !
"This spicy ramen is so satisfying. The broth is perfectly seasoned and all of the ingredients are seasonal and fresh." Chef Michael Tusk Read more
Sample the St. George's spirits at the bar while you wait. Definitely try the squid ink fried rice .
Expensive but worth a try. Come alone to avoid a long wait and definitely get the black sesame ice cream sandwich .
Awesome spot. Ramen is excellent but what's really great about this place is it's ambiance. Really cool!
Tried a bunch of the bowls, all really great. Best ramen I've had! Get some cocktails and the pickle plate too.
Great noodles , and a pretty awesome liquor selection/cocktail menu. The grilled sardine was excellent.
The ramen is off the chain - I got a duck breast version that was just incredible.
Some of the best cocktails (and ramen ) in the East Bay .
Ramen is ok. Noodles and broth in the smoked duck ramen were spot on, but the toppings were poorly executed or chosen (e.g. grilled eggplant slices that disintegrate picking them up with chopsticks).
Mind the wait which is long. Get a drink and wait at the bar area. Must have the squid fried rice , better than the ramen which is way too salty.
Tasty Ramen but the restaurant itself feels only half-authentic, and prices are a bit high. If you are just in it for the Ramen , you can get it elsewhere way cheaper and with a more "Japanese" feel.
I finally came here. Though my expectation went too much, it was not that good ramen . It's not bad for sure. Price is one of the reasons making me feel so.
NYC transplants missing Ippudo, get the miso ramen here. Ask for ground chilies and go nuts .
Smoked duck ramen was satisfying and hit the spot. Great depth of flavor that leaves you wanting more!
No reservations , but you can enjoy a cocktail or three at the bar while you wait for a table.
Who would have thought that a simple gem lettuce salad with green garlic cilantro dressing would be soooo tasty!
Shio ramen with Manila clams , spit roasted chashu , dhoti-marinated egg , scallions , and Mendocino nori
Go early to avoid the wait. The ramen is all good but the shining star was the asparagus share plate. And cocktails .
The menu is compact, with a couple of appetizers , three ramens and generally ice cream sandwiches for dessert . Read more
This place gets packed so expect a wait or come early. The miso ramen is amazing.
Hip , thoughtful decor. Usually 3 Ramen options are provided - large portions , great flavor.
Unique ramen (e.g. Meyer lemon , burnt miso ) from a Chez Panisse alum that has been drawing enthusiasts from all over since its opening.
Vegetarian Ramen is on the list of 21 best noodle bowls by San Francisco Magazine
Everything is amazing. No need for appetizers . The ramen will fill you up no question!
This place is alright. Wait was way too long for the quality of the food. It's more modern ramen place , noodles is less chewy than traditional ramen . Broth was flavorful but just not worth the wait.
Veggie Shoyu Meyer Lemon is similar to Afuri's Yuzu Shio Ramen in Tokyo
Great ambience. Beautiful and tasty food, but you're paying nearly $30 for a bowl of ramen ...
Best ramen outside if San Jose. A little pricey but what isnt in the bay
The beef ramen , while slightly untraditional is like crack for the American palette. Amazingly delicious.
It’s not all about the ramen . Try the donburi . ????
The best Ramen I have had in the Bay Area.
Mmmmm tried to go here on my birthday but then got drunk at 7pm with my mom and dad and called it a night. This is ramen Cali-style and I need need need to get here.
The country miso ramen is my go-to. Also a great selection of drinks, including plum wine! - Daniel Eden
this is probably my favorite ramen in oakland. chewy, delicious noodles, rich broth and great topping options! - cami j.
You can get any broth with gluten free yam noodles (super yummy) or just bean sprouts! - Thomas Gonzales
Smallish TJs but they had everything I usually get at the bigger stores - David Raygorodsky
Delicious ice cream. Don't miss the homemade cones. I quite liked the orange cardamom. - Ryan Leggett
