A Must-Try Ramen Experience in a Safe & Vibrant Neighborhood!

🍜 MENSHO Oakland | A Must-Try Ramen Experience in a Safe & Vibrant Neighborhood! 🌙 Located in a relatively safe and lively part of Oakland, MENSHO is a popular ramen spot that often has a wait—even later in the evening. But trust me, it’s worth it! I’ve tried MENSHO in SF before (including their matcha ramen, which was… interesting 😂), but the Oakland location totally won me over with rich broths, creative toppings, and deep flavors. 🔥 What We Ordered: 1️⃣ Lamb Ramen – A robust and slightly spicy broth filled with ground lamb. Hearty, aromatic, and deeply satisfying. 2️⃣ A5 Wagyu Ramen – The broth is on the richer side (a bit oily but delicious), and the thinly sliced Wagyu melts in your mouth. Pure indulgence! 3️⃣ Fried Enoki Mushrooms – Crispy, light, and seriously addictive. Highly recommend! 4️⃣ Fried Corn – A bit salty but packed with savory flavor. Great to share. 💡 Pro Tip: If you’re not into experimental flavors (looking at you, matcha ramen 🍵), stick with their classic or meat-based broths. They’re consistently delicious! 📍 Address: MENSHO Oakland 4258 Piedmont Ave, Oakland, CA 94611 ⏳ Wait times vary – come early or be ready to linger! ✨ Why It’s a Favorite: • Rich, complex broths • High-quality ingredients (like real A5 Wagyu) • Fun, crispy sides • Great vibe in a safe neighborhood #OaklandEats #JapaneseRamen #WagyuRamen #SpicyLamb #BayAreaFood #RamenLovers
