To us, ramen is not only a bowl of comfort food; it contains the spirit of the farmers, ranchers, chef and origins of its beginnings. Food connects us with people locally and globally, while comforting each other through community, conversation, and nourishment. It brings us great gratification that we are able to serve you something we love.
Hip haunt for carefully sourced ramen & Japanese classics, including gluten-free & vegan options.

if you’re craving legit ramen that doesn’t break the bank but still feels special, Sabi–er, Sobo Ramen–is one of the best in the East Bay. Easily top-tier. 10/10 would smash again, no cap. Go get that bowl, you won’t regret it!
Ambience is cozy as hell. It’s got that intimate, low-key Japanese ramen shop feel–nothing fancy, but warm lighting, clean setup, and it doesn’t feel cramped even when busy. Perfect for solo slurping, a quick date, or grabbing with friends. In the heart of Oakland’s Chinatown/Pacific Renaissance spot, it’s easy to get to and feels authentic without being stuffy.

We tried this place for the first time a few months ago, and we keep coming back for the spicy black garlic ramen and the spicy miso ramen. The ramen is consistently delicious, and we like the chicken gyoza and yogurt soju too. The space is relaxing and the server is friendly. Can’t recommend enough.

Highly recommended. I came for a late lunch/early dinner before they closed for the later afternoon. Was a bit worried that given the timing, food wouldn’t be was good, but turned out nothing to fear. I had the agadashi tofu appetizer which was nicely done, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The spicy miso was also tasty l, noodles, pork and veggies. The background jazz was also soothing. Will be back.

Used to go to this place for lunch all the time. Got the spicy miso ramen. Noodles are homemade, thin and somewhat al dented. Great texture. Char siu was tender and delicious. They had two types of char siu in the bowl. Mushrooms have good texture. The seaweed and green onion garnish take it over the top. Broth was a tad over reduced this time. Maybe it’s just been a while

The ramen we ordered was nice, it’s not salty and you can definitely enjoy the hot soup.
Karaage was good. We ordered hot house sake too.
The servers was very nice.

The food here was damn good! We wanted ramen for our last night on our business trip. We decided to try this place despite the 3.5 rating on Yelp. The place was pretty empty at 530pm. Servers were prompt and polite, answering questions and giving recommendations when asked. We ordered steamed gyoza and three ramen dishes. I ordered the country ramen, amazing flavor and mild spice. My coworkers ordered the Tonkotsu with Tonkatsu and Sobo ramen with chicken and spicy – way too spicy for my liking but my coworker loved it. I’d love to come again on my next trip!

My family and I love this place. We eat here at least once a month, perhaps more during cold season.
The broth is very good particularly the spicy black tonkotsu. Meat is just right and the whole bowl is simple, just how ramen should be. A simple comfort food.
My wife and I have been in many ramen places around the Bay Area that are ranked or rated high on several sites and even from TV food shows and I can honestly say that Sobo Ramen is among the best we have tasted.
I just wish there are more options for appetizers but we love it here! We are regulars here by now and we are welcomed here like family each time we eat at Sobo Ramen. It is SOBOlicious!!!

I came in for some ramen and instead of ordering the fatty pork ramen, I tried the black garlic ramen. I normally eat medium spicy but this was a bit spicier than that. The ramen noodles were a bit undercooked for me, chewier than Al dente. The soft boiled egg was definitely hard boiled. Also the fatty part of the chasu was nice and tender but the no fatty part was very dry and tough. The chicken karage was well fried but I didn’t like the yuzu aioli.

Pretty darn good. Had the spicy black ramen, chicken gyoza and a pork cutlet. All of the food was excellent and right sized portions. The atmosphere was cozy (I ate at the bar) and the service was pleasant. I would definitely eat here again.
