Noka Ramen - Oakland

Came here on a Wednesday with a GF and ordered from their Weekday Lunch menu (2 apps 1 entree $25/pp). Our ramen entrees were served 5 minutes prior to our apps, which was a little off as to timing, but everything looked and tasted great. We both had the black garlic ramen, and as our apps, we shared the corn, tuna tartare, shishito peppers and kaarage chicken. The staff were very welcoming and accommodating. We want to come back and tackle their steak ramen for two!

The ramen was decent, and the noodles were particularly good. The drinks were mostly ice and not very strong, but fine. Service was solid. It felt very instagrammable but overwhelming from a food standpoint except for the fried icecream, that was excellent.

Best. Ramen. Ever. The atmosphere is terrific. Staff is wonderful. And the food is astonishing.

Excellent place for kids, so accommodating to kids, with plates and portions perfect for them. fun vibe! special treats, we had so much fun!

This place is really good, I love the environment. I love the service. The food is delicious. I love trying new things here.
