"Ramen Shop in Oakland’s Rockridge neighborhood is not your average hole-in-the-wall noodle place; here, the liquor selection is from Japan, the lines snakes around the block, and each of the three selections of ramen on the menu at any time is colorful, tasty, and probably the best you’ve ever had outside of Asia."
"9 Places to Get the Best Ramen in San Francisco (Plus One in Oakland): Ramen Shop - If you’re looking for a delicious bowl of noodles with an upscale twist, head to Ramen Shop in Oakland’s Rockridge neighborhood."
"Though a bit pricey, this perpetually packed Rockridge spot is highbrow ramen at its best, with uncommon ingredients and handmade noodles."
"I’ve always thought Ramen Shop offered the best ramen in the Bay Area, so I was curious as to whether increasing the restaurant’s volume would affect its quality. As far as I can tell after a return visit, the changes have made no difference. The noodles have a distinct, slightly firm texture you won’t find anywhere else, the broths are as well crafted as ever, and the pristine ingredients continue to channel the owners’ time at Chez Panisse."
"I recently had my favorite bowl of ramen in the US, at Ramen Shop in Oakland. It was the “garlic miso ramen with smoked king salmon, pork belly, shoyu-marinated egg, frisée, gypsy peppers, and shungiku” that blew my mind. Such a rich, creamy, yet not too greasy broth, and noodles with a nice bite."
