Stopped by Noka Ramen in Oakland a while ago, what a cool fun spot to dine at. We were surprised with the staff in Power Rangers outfits! The place is small so def make reservations. The food was as fun as the atmosphere and social media worthy special dishes and drinks.

This Jack London Square ramen place is so cute. It’s super Instagram ready for pics inside and of the food. Arrived at about 1pm on a Saturday and there were plenty of tables available. The staff was attentive and friendly as was their presentation of the food. We ordered a bunch of items from the menu and overall the food was pretty solid. Prices were a bit much for ramen but I’m always game to try!

For a ramen place in the U.S., it’s pretty good. They have a diverse alcohol menu, and the Sailor Moon-themed sake flight seemed nice. They have outdoor seating, so I had lunch after walking my dog. They even provided water for my dog and were super friendly. They chatted with me so much that it was almost a bit too much, but in a funny way!

A great Ramen place in Jack London Sqaure. Second visit. Atmosphere is good. There is also outside seating if you have dogs. Food is little pricey, but the price level is similar to those restaurants in this area. We had black garlic ramen and wagyu burger. Both were great. Staffs were very kind as well!

I ordered the Noka tartare and the black garlic Tonkotsu with a coke. The coke didn’t come so I had to flag someone to get the coke I had ordered, mind you, there were like 10 employees standing around in an empty restaurant. The ramen got there first, I bit into the egg looking forward to the goey soft boiled egg center but instead, the egg was cold and the center was totally solid, it looked like it had been cooked yesterday. The noodles weren’t fresh and they weren’t soft. I asked for some chili to give the broth more flavor and they brought me chili paste but didn’t tell me they charge extra for it.

Amazingly rich pork broth that they are rightly proud of, along with their homemade noodles prepared daily. Awesome staff and great urban jungle environment. I love this place!

Francisco Isenberg
The food was good and came out quickly. The pork buns were really good, and the spicy ramen and lots of toppings, and the perfect amount of spiciness (hot, but my nose was barely running). The drinks were a bit sweet for my taste, but still tasty, and served in creative glasses!

Orlando Dao
Ordered the black tonkatsu ramen, their current special the Ikari Ramen, truffle fries, Brussels sprouts with chashu, the Sailor Moon sake flight and Noka Ranger. Truffle edamame they serve is a nice treat. I will say the Ikari Ramen was missing bok choy and could’ve done without the brussels sprouts (only had one and the bitterness didn’t compliment the dish) and I wasn’t expecting the chashu on the Brussels sprouts starter to just be one giant piece but ultimately everything tasted great. 9/10 would recommend

Noka Ramen was a great experience! The food was delicious and the drinks were strong. The chicken karage was really good and so was the tuna tartare. The atmosphere was also very nice and the service was excellent. A bit on the pricey side but overall good.
