Sobo Ramen Berkeley — Downtown Fast-Casual Ramen, Crafted with Soul
Welcome to Sobo Ramen Berkeley, our newest home in Downtown Berkeley, where we blend high-quality ingredients, house-made noodles, and efficient service for a faster, elevated ramen experience.
Our fast-casual concept lets you enjoy creative fusion Japanese ramen — from Tonkotsu to Matcha Coconut — without the long wait. We’ve designed a streamlined ordering process so you can order quickly, relax, and savor your bowl in a modern, cozy setting. Every dish is prepared with the same attention to detail as our Oakland kitchen — fresh, flavorful, and crafted with heart. It’s ramen made for the Bay Area: quick, soulful, and made with love.
Our selection includes a 17 hour Tonkotsu pork bone broth, along with selections that are vegetarian and veganfriendly. Yakitori, tempura, a selection of specialty beers, sake, and soju! There's something for everyone!
Visit us at 2000 Milvia St. at the Stonefire Building, steps away from UC Berkeley. Order at the counter or enjoy a drink at your table — either way, you’ll leave full and happy.
Our Berkeley location reflects the rhythm of the neighborhood — energetic, modern, and community-driven. Whether you’re a local professional, UC Berkeley student, or ramen lover exploring the city, our space was built to fit your day. Grab a quick lunch, linger with friends over drinks, or wind down after class — there’s always a seat waiting for you at Sobo Ramen Berkeley.
