Sobo Ramen

This business speaks English, Chinese, and Japanese.

Established in 2012, Sobo Ramen is a Japanese-inspired ramen shop that creates innovative recipes that contain only the best local ingredients. They create a decadent one-of-a-kind experience that is packed with intricate flavors that stimulate your taste buds. Noodles are fresh made in house and can be made gluten-free and vegan options.

One unique feature of the restaurant is that you can watch the noodles being made! Try one of their specialty ramens. Popular items include the spicy black ramen and the tonkosu ramen. For the picky eater, they offer a build-your-own ramen option. Be sure to pair your meal with one of their premium sakes or a cool beer.

The sleek and elegant restaurant can accommodate both large and small parties, and is a great option for lunch or dinner. Located in Oakland’s Chinatown, you can easily walk to this location from Downtown during lunch or after work. It is easily accessible from 12th Street BART, but metered street and paid lot parking can also be found nearby.
