Sobo Ramen

Did you know that Sobo Ramen was the first Japanese-inspired ramen shop to come to the East Bay in 2012? What makes their ramen so good is they source their ingredients from local farmers and make the noodles fresh daily. The weather has the perfect chill to place an order of their popular Spicy Tonkostu Ramen. For the vegan in your party, they can opt for the Vegan Soy Coconut Ramen which is full of flavor.
