The ramen was super flavorful, was packaged well, and had great portions. The Chushu Bun was fantastic, the meat had a great rich flavor and plentiful portion. Overall really great experience.

I really love this place. The ramen is always so flavorful and I keep coming back to it time and time again. TBH, the end expense is a little high for a bowl of Ramen Lab ramen (gyoza, corn, green onion, mushrooms, extra egg, and shoyu broth $35) but without fail it always tastes good! Plus I love how everything is packed - not soggy and mushy!

Not a fan. Came with about 3 spoonfuls of broth. Filled with char, tasted like burnt lunchmeat. The pork was amorphous and indistinguishable from fried spam.

The Noka Classic Tonkotsu was good but could have been flavorful (3.5/5). it came with all the toppings (mushrooms, bamboo, seaweed, and 1/2 an egg). We were most excited about the Ground Pork Side. We had this with our Raman in Kyoto every night and it was so good!
The Truffle Fries are delicious 🤤. However, the portion is small for $14.
Overall, we will go back and hope the broth was just having an off day.

The ramen broth is soo good and creamy. I typically don't believe in paying almost 20 dollars for a bowl of ramen, but since everyone is overcharging for it these days you might as well overpay here, this is the best ramen I have had in Oakland so far and I've been here for almost two years. After living in Japan for a year this spot is the most authentic.
