Authentic Japanese ramen, sushi, & creative cocktails
























"Adding to the growing group of ramen spots in the bay, chef-owner Kyle Itani (Hopscotch) has put his stamp on the Japanese comfort food. The contemporary, hip, and well-lit space is offering ramen, gyozas, rice bowls, and the must-try crispy pig’s ears." - Ellen Fort, Eater Staff

"At Itani Ramen I enjoyed a custom donburi with deep seaweed flavor, roasted kale, marinated mushrooms, squash, corn, tofu, and a side of kimchi—the vegetable-forward rice bowl packed comforting umami and chewy textures and was a satisfying, hearty meal." - Eater Staff

"I note that sister restaurant Itani Ramen serves a number of cocktails and even shares a few drinks with Yonsei Handrolls." - Dianne de Guzman

"There won’t be food made in Night Heron proper, but the bar teamed up with neighboring Itani Ramen to keep patrons fed: two bento boxes created for Night Heron will be available to order via a QR code and delivered to customers at the bar." - Dianne de Guzman

"As part of Oakland Restaurant Week: Late Summer Edition, I noted a standout $25 combo deal from Itani Ramen that includes a ramen bowl, three pieces of gyoza, a salad, and a drink." - Eve Batey
