Itani Ramen offers a mix of authentic and American-influenced dishes in downtown Oakland. While some items fall short of traditional standards, the oxtail ramen and yuzu lemonade are standout dishes. With friendly service and a versatile menu including rice bowls, fried food, and sushi, Itani Ramen is a great spot for a quick meal or happy hour visit. Despite some mixed reviews on specific items, the overall experience is a solid choice for ramen lovers looking for a modern twist on classic flavors.
