Oisa Ramen

Very friendly and fast service. Perfect for a quick lunch in the middle of a work day since the counters usually only have single seating available! The mushroom in the vegetarian ramen was marinated in some kind of delicious sauce because it had so much flavor. They have vegetarian and vegan options as well as classic pork tonkotsu.

Delicious ramen!!! This place is a gem, it's way too small to sit more than 10 people at a time, and it has only ramen, poke and donburi. You are sitting practically next to the owner while she is preparing the food and the service was very friendly. We tried the donburi with beef and it was very good but the ramen was something else. I loved the tonkotsu, (savory flavor with many spices and a kick of ginger) but I would return to try the truffle ramen. There is also a vegan option which was delicious, although a bit too sweet for my taste. Definitely a must try, don't bring a crowd or you will not fit, perfectly cozt for 2 people groups.

The ramen here is solid. I'll shave to get my way around to trying all the bowls, but what I can say at this moment is that: the flavor profile is balanced and consistent, the staff is super friendly, and I like that (on occasion) they play some hip-hop. What I'd love is a list of "suggested additives" for those interested in adding some extra heat. . . But if it ain't broke...

I work around the area but never once stepped in once even knowing that there is a very good ramen place around. So one day I decided to take some time to wait in line and try it out! I love oisa and love how the ramen was prepared. I sat at the bar and was able to see the chef at work and she prepares every dish with consistency.

So basically I have a story to tell. Long story short, it was amazing. But let me tell my story... It was a very hot day so me and my friends went to the closest Ramen shop nearby. When I entered, I was greeted by some very friendly and hospitable staff. They were very nice and kind. The customers of the shop, especially one named Jack, was very welcoming and cool. It all felt like a family business. I ordered an Oisa Tonkotsu which was $14, and it was definitely worth it. It was of a very high quality and it had a near-perfect texture. I was impressed of how the quality of the Ramen in this shop was very near, or even better than large Ramen businesses. I loved the experience throughout and I fully recommend this shop to Ramen lovers!

Easily one of the best bowls of tonkatsu ramen in my life! I like to try the best rated ramen in every city I visit and this place steals the show! Wish I lived in Boston to try the rest of her ramen. :) Perfect flavors. And to the guy who left the review saying tonkatsu with truffle mushrooms: yes and thank you! :)

Coming in on a chilly weekend, we stumbled on this ramen restaurant near the hotel with low expectations. I tried the Oisa Tonkotsu and the vegetarian ramen with shiitake. Both I had asked for the noodles to be slightly underdone as preference Moe, the chef and owner, was quick to explain that the noodles in the vegetarian ramen were cooked to a specific temperature otherwise can become quickly overcooked. It was doable, but not recommended. I went with her suggestion and wasn't disappointed. I also learnt that the noodles are made with tomatoes, which would explain this familiar taste that wasn't quite just shiitake I tasted throughout the broth. The Oisa Tonkotsu was my favourite however comparatively. Served hot, the broth was flavourful throughout without being too rich, the noodles springy and I loved the tang of the pickled vegetables and ginger. The meat was sliced thin, which I would've preferred more of but the extra soup and noodles I added made up for it. For those with bigger appetites, go this route. Service is quick and efficient, but don't come here if you're in a hurry; the place fills up fast and there's usually a small line. Solid bowl of ramen wrapped in a friendly and cozy atmosphere. I recommend sitting at the bar and chatting with Moe, an absolute joy to chat with. You can tell she is very passionate about the food. I'm coming back the next time I'm in Boston!
