The restaurant is very clean and absolutely beautiful inside. The workers are super nice and the food came out at a decent time. Words cannot explain how immaculate the spicy miso ramen was! My mouth was definitely fulfilled with happiness as well as my stomach. It was so good I had a second bowl! 10/10 definitely recommend coming to this place and try it for yourself !

We came to Oakland from Sacramento for a quick day trip and stopped at Noka Ramen Bar—and it was fantastic! From start to finish, the service was excellent! From the front staff to the cooks and Jesus went above and beyond to make sure we had a great experience. Attentive, friendly, and welcoming even with a 2 month old!

The ramen was flavorful, perfectly balanced, and absolutely worth the trip. We also loved the fun Pokémon-themed day—it added such a unique and playful vibe to the whole experience.

This place is so cute and fun! Spotting the random pokemon in the jungle was fun while you wait even though you don't have to wait long!! Jesus was our server, very friendly and attentive! Love their outfits, love all the themed food and drinks. Food was great! We had gyoza, truffle fries and pork bun to start, followed by tonkatsu ramen, steak ramen, crab ramen and pikachu burger. Definitely the best ramen we have had in CA! Obviously a bit more pricey than standard ramen but definitely worth it and not too overpriced. We will for sure be back!

SO delicious, I ordered the Classic Tonkotsu ramen (pictured) and it was SO good. They give you ample broth, load it up with toppings, fill in the gaps with noodles. This was potentially the best pork belly I’ve ever had, so tender and literally melt in your mouth. The atmosphere of the restaurant is awesome, really colorful decor and super friendly staff. If you’re in JLS you’ve gotta check this place out.

As this was our first time at Noka Ramen, our server, Jesus (Spanish speaking server) was extremely patient explaining lots of our potential meals. We are extremely satisfied with the service from him and the Noka team. Food was DELICIOUS and FLAVORFUL! We didn’t wait long for the food to come out which was a plus!! Pikachu stopped by at all the tables to say hello
💛💛 Will be coming back with more family member!!
