Ramen Shop is a well-regarded restaurant in the Rockridge neighborhood of Oakland, located at 5812 College Ave. It was started by three Chez Panisse alums and specializes in artistic, organic and sustainable ramen. The menu goes beyond traditional ramen, with a variety of gourmet Ramen noodle bowls alongside Japanese-inspired appetizers like scallop carpaccio, spicy tuna, and pork chashu donburi or Monterey Bay squid and pork fried rice. Signature bowls include Hokkaido Miso Ramen, Veggie Meyer Lemon Shoyu Ramen and Stemple Creek Ranch Beef Shoyu Ramen, and the kitchen is known for a distinctly Californian, farm-to-table spin on ramen using ingredients such as mustard greens, sunchokes, and creamed leeks, plus donburi dishes with wild nettles or brussels sprouts. There's also a notable drinks program — Four Barrel coffee or a glass of wine, beer or cider — and diners have praised the cocktail program, with plenty of spirits from artisan distiller St. George, and four or five local micro brews on tap. For dessert, options have included the black sesame ice cream sandwich and black bamboo mochi. The vibe is cozy but the restaurant isn't huge — seating around 60, so it's not a place for a quick pop-in bowl — and it's on the pricier side, with bowls of ramen starting at $19.50. On Tripadvisor it's rated 4.0 of 5 and ranked #67 of 711 restaurants in Oakland, and on Yelp, hours are listed as Mon-Fri 5:00 pm - 10:00 pm for dinner, with reservations, delivery, and takeout available; the phone number is (510) 640-5034. Some reviewers note the ramen menu is limited to just a handful of options at any given time, though the menu changes daily, and waits during peak dinner hours can run usually 30-45 minutes but longer on Friday and Saturday nights.
