Ramen Shop Finally Delivers Ramen and More A.M. Intel

Ramen Shop is finally doing ramen to go

It’s what fans of the popular Rockridge restaurant have been pining for all along: the option to take ramen home with them (or better, have it delivered). It’s a little different than takeout though, in that it’s a meal kit, with uncooked noodles. “I think the difference between us cooking the noodles, and you cooking them at home is such a huge difference” co-owner Sam White told Eater. “So, we’re trusting people to cook the noodles. Everybody knows how to boil water.” The kit is available through Caviar andwill come with uncooked noodles, broth, all the toppings that are in season, and detailed instructions. Two ramens are available: veggie, and duck shoyu. This also means that the donburi sets previously occupying a large section of the menu will disappear, though there are a few new additions like chicken wings, and a little gem salad.
