Terrible experience at Itani Ramen in Oakland.
I waited 35 minutes for an Oxtail Ramen, only to receive a completely wrong vegetarian bowl when I got back to my office in the rain. I walked back to fix it, and the server, Chelsea, admitted the mistake but offered no apology, no compensation, and said the correct dish would “take a long time.”
When I asked to at least take the incorrect dish, she said she had already thrown it away and then pointed at the trash can, telling me I could grab it from there if I wanted. Completely unacceptable.
When I asked for a manager, I was told none were available, the phone line was constantly busy, and after making me wait, she handed me a number and said:
“please don’t come back.”
To top it off, the manager email she gave me doesn’t even exist.
Disorganized, disrespectful, and genuinely shocking behavior. I won’t return.

I got the salmon bowl. It was very delicious. Would love to come back here in the evening for some drinks as well. Total vibe.

I am not being dramatic when I say this is some of the best ramen I have had. I got the pork belly miso ramen and it was so tasty. I would recommend 100%. The staff is also very friendly!

This review is based on my delivery order.
I had the Recovery Meal; includes your choice of a ramen bowl, 3 pieces veggie or pork gyoza, negi chashu mini donburi or small salad, and a non-alcoholic drink. I opted for the Veggie Ramen, veggie gyoza, salad, and Yuzu lemonade.
The veggie ramen was flavorful. The veggie gyoza with the dipping sauce, yummy! The dressing on the salad made it so delicious. I’m a huge fan of yuzu and the yuzu lemonade really hit the spot!
I appreciate restaurants that have okay-based and vegan options. I hope they expand on these options.
Vegan veggie vegetarian plant-based.

I’m met three friends there for dinner before a show at the Fox and the Ramen was very good. Service was a bit slow.
