O Ramen

I never would have guessed I'd find a new favorite spot in Bakersfield. The town has really grown since the last time I visited. They have a lot of good restaurants now. This is a must stop for me. They have the best karaage I've ever had. Service is prompt and polite. They were very attentive and got the order right. The restaurant is cute (see pics) and there is plenty of seating. The ramen and dumplings are good, but I still crave the karaage. The chicken with the sauce they serve along side of it is delicious. I can't wait to go back!

A great spot for a casual lunch date with friends. The service was friendly, and the food came out quickly. Orders:Karaage: a fried chicken appetizer served with a tangy sauce. It was quite good! I'd order again.Tonkotsu ramen with extra corn topping: delicious broth, rich but not too oily. Added some spicy seasoning for an extra kick. The noodles had a nice bite to them. The pork was delicious. Overall, a solid bowl of ramen!I'd come back to try other things as well. The portion size was great for the price as well!

I've taken a few days to calm down before writing this review because I wanted to ensure I was being fair. I'm not doing this out of spite or revenge--I just want O Ramen to take accountability and train their staff so no one else has to go through what I did.I went to O Ramen in Bakersfield on a Tuesday evening with my husband and my service dog, who is an allergen alert dog. When we walked in, the waitress saw my dog and immediately said, "No dogs allowed." I explained that he's a service dog and pointed out his vest. Instead of seating us, she kept asking for documentation to prove he was a service dog.I told her that the ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) doesn't require service dog owners to carry any kind of paperwork, and businesses can only ask two questions: 1) Is this a service dog? and 2) What task or service has the dog been trained to perform? I was happy to answer those, but she wouldn't listen. I also explained that asking for medical documentation is a violation of my HIPAA rights, but she still insisted.Two other employees stood there watching but did nothing to help. After 15 frustrating minutes of trying to explain the law and willingness to show her on my phone the regulations of the law, my husband urged us to leave to avoid ruining the rest of our night. As we walked out, the waitress said, "I hope you understand, I don't hate dogs. It's our policy." I told her this wasn't about liking or not liking dogs--it was about her refusing to follow the law and discriminating against me.This whole experience was humiliating and extremely upsetting. I rely on my service dog to stay safe, and it's hard enough to navigate life with a disability without having to constantly justify myself and educate people about the law. Situations like this make me not want to bring my service dog to places and risk my life just so I can be treated fairly. I really hope O Ramen takes this as an opportunity to train their staff about the ADA. I had actually left a positive review for this restaurant back in 2021 after enjoying a meal here and recommending it to my husband. I thought it was a nice place to eat at. However, this recent experience was a complete surprise--one that left me feeling hurt and disappointed.

Went back to O Ramen after years since I tried it last and glad to say this experience was better. The portions were huge! We definitely over ordered for a table of three. The only thing I would mention is that the service and questions of how we're doing was a little too much. Our conversation kept getting interrupted and sometimes we would get asked when we were in the middle of taking a bite. Other than that, the food was delicious.

A cute ramen spot in Bakersfield! During a road trip, I stopped in Bakersfield craving something soupy, and I found this charming ramen place with great reviews. Of course, we tried their ramen and grilled pork belly with garlic fried rice! The portions were huge--definitely not something you'd get in NorCal, haha. I also loved how they decorated the place with a Japanese anime One Piece theme--it added such a fun touch to the experience!

Sadly, not a good experience. The restaurant was not that busy, just wasn't acknowledged . Waited 20 minutes to be sure but then just left. Never had this happen before. Food is always delicious and normally good service but very disappointing tonight. Hoping to return with better service next time. Willing to try it again.

O Ramen is a hidden gem that offers a tantalizing escape into the world of Japanese cuisine. During my visit, I indulged in their tantanmen, paired perfectly with a Sapporo beer. The rich, flavorful broth soothed both my stomach and my heart, making it an unforgettable dining experience.Though the spot is small and the chairs are not the most comfortable, the quality of the food more than compensates for it. The tantanmen, with its perfect balance of spice and umami, left me craving another bowl even before I had finished the first. O Ramen is definitely worth the visit, and I can't wait to go back for more!

The seating took about 3 minutes wasn't greeted until then but the vibe of the place was still great seeing everyone enjoy their food! The food was amazing I couldn't finish my ramen so they had to go boxes which really helped me out and their service was very friendly when seated. I recommend this ramen place 10/10 for sure(:

I was driving from Fresno to Los Angeles on vacation, looking for a Japanese restaurant. Yelp came in handy, and I found a good-rated ramen place. I'm glad we stopped by this place. The food was plentiful and delicious, and the service was top-notch. We ordered Takotaki to start, and I had combo ramen with Katsu Don (Pork cutlet rice). They were just good. I recommend it to anyone looking for good Japanese food around Bakersfield, CA. There was anime cartoon art everywhere, I enjoyed seeing them. Very cool,

I've been to this place many times but never got a chance to make a review. Last night, I ordered a tantanmen with corn. Let me tell you, it was delicious! The broth was so creamy and not too spicy for me. I also ordered the calamari and that was also good. Highly recommend! Staff were friendly and attentive refilling our water.
