Ramen Shop in Oakland – Chez Panisse vets opened up a Ramen Shop near Zachary's Pizza on College Ave.; pretty good, a bit on the expensive side for a bowl of ramen but the execution is nice…could be giving some of the best ramen shops in Japantown in LA a run for it's money once they find their groove…
and Ramen Tomo will be opening up on Telegraph near Koryo soon…
If I knew and was really passionate about ramen (I'm not), I'd open up a ramen shop called Fukuoka Ramen or FU Ramen for short. Fukuoka is supposed to have the best ramen anywhere, famed for their tonkatsu ramen, and Fukuoka is also Oakland's sister city.
There's a name idea for you for whoever wants to open up a ramen shop in Oakland.
