It’s was great food and customer service. Plus it smells so good when you walk in the door.

To preface this review, I went twice to confirm that it was as mids as I originally thought.I ordered the Tonkotsu both times, and if I’m being honest it’s barely edible. The broth was lukewarm, the noodles taste stale, the carrots were barely cooked, and the pork was less then pleasing. On top of that, my soda was borderline warm which is concerning considering that the sodas are kept in the same refrigerator as the miso and prepped meats. I really hope the meats are colder than the soda was when they are being stored.Overall, it’s not good Ramen. I’m no expert, but I have eaten at a few of the most highly acclaimed Ramen restaurants in NYC. If you want some good Asian options in Columbia, I’d go somewhere else.

Not too many vegan options but their curries are delicious and you can build your own so lots of combinations! Good stuff. Eve is great!

My husband and I eat at Ocha regularly and really love the food (Beef Phó for me, Double Noodle for him) and friendly service. However, we've been watching the portion sizes decline over the last 6+ months and it's a bummer. We 100% understand that food costs have gone up and just wish they would be transparent about it and raise the prices rather than try to disguise it with portions that get a little smaller each time.

We were very surprised at how amazing the food was. Hands down the best ramen and curry noodles we've had and FINALLY pork eggs rolls done right. Also a very clean environment. Definitely our #1 quick food place to go to.

Love Ramen, but I would avoid this place. Ordered Tonkotsu, mushrooms in inedible, carrots raw, noodles had a stale taste. Broth was good. Pre-ordered carry out,, told 10-15 minutes, arrived in 15 minutes,and then waited 30 minutes to get the order.

Excellent in every way! I came here as a virgin Tia food eater, having only been to one other Tia restaurant. The gentleman behind the counter was super friendly and helpful in getting me familiar with the menus options. Soup selected, coconut Tom yum ramen, and boy what an amazing treat to my taste buds. It was amazing… bubbly hot and super fresh. I’m super full now but am already making plans in my head to stop in again. Excellent choice if you’re looking for something fresh, yummy and healthy. We didn’t get any, but they also sell fresh made egg rolls. I’m in love with this place. You won’t be disappointed!!!

Every time I come here it is like a warm sunny day for my soul. Whether I'm having miso ramen, shrimp tempura udon, or pho it does not matter I leave feeling like I've done something good for myself. Hope this place sticks around for many years to come.

Order it “Very Spicy,” if you dare. My go to bowl is Shoyu Ramen with a lot of spice. The owners recognize me now and I believe we are at a battle of wits. So far, Ive been able to handle all the spice She has thrown at me. But this last bowl was “OH MY, SPICY!” Super great food. I eat here about once a week. My favorite place in town.

Try the pork based Tonkotsu or soy-sauce based Shoyu Ramen. Theyre fantastic!
