Ramen Gaijin

We're gearing up and are excited too Heather Irwin! We are planning on being open Wednesday through Sunday from 4-8pm for takeaway only starting February 6th, 2021. We are looking forward to showing everyone the fruits of labor of the past 4 years of working towards opening Khom Loi has produced. We know the food is going to be great togo and believe it will be even better when we can all gather again and raise a glass. But until then, mask up, keep safe and we'll see you soon...

Here we go! Can't wait to share what we've been working on (even though we wish we could share more of it with you). We'll be announcing an opening date soon. It's been a journey, but we believe in the experience is part of the growth and the story. It's been a tough and winding road this past year, that so many of our industry peers have navigated too. So we have decided to embrace it, grow with it and are excited to start with takeaway dining in the coming weeks. Can't wait to share the rest of the space with you when it's safe and possible...

Merry Christmas Everyone. Ramen Gaijin will be closed today and tomorrow, the 26th to spend time with our families and reflect on what means most. We’ll be back at it for takeaway next Tuesday . Stay safe & have a happy holiday. Kanpai!

Tup, tup looks like rain... so there’s that. For anyone coming out tonight, we strongly encourage you to call 1st and check on our seating availability. As it stands now, we only have seating under our cozy(albeit small) patio. We’re hoping that will change and that we can roll some tables out in to the square if the weather permits. Of course, we’d also be happy to pack your meals up for takeaway and you can enjoy it in the comfort of your own abode. Good news, hopefully this will be the last weekend without (even more) covered seating, as we are in the process of setting up a heated tent for winter nights like these...stay tuned and thank you for your support.!

As the weather cools and the seasons change, we couldn’t agree more. Ramen = Comfort. https://www.sonomamag.com/best-restaurants-for-comfort-fo/#

Oof. How about that air huh? Since it’s more or less hazardous just to exist right now in SoCo we are going ahead and calling off patio dining today( and likely tomorrow). We still will be available for takeaway cocktails and food and would love to see your (assumed) smiling faces for that, behind what we hope is an N95 rated mask of course. Stay safe, stay healthy & stay positive.

***2020 is the best Alert!***Because enough is never enough. And we are blessed with abundance(of calamity). Looks like an explosion/fire of some persuasion has knocked out our phone and internet services for the immediate future. But don’t fret....we’re resourceful and have adjusted. So if you have a reservation come on down. We’re open! And if you want to order takeaway, we got you. Just do it online through our website. Since, you know. No phone. But we will get the order and have it for you. All good. We’re getting use to the pivot.

***UPDATE*** We are happy to welcome everyone back on to our patio starting this week. We’ll be open for takeaway and patio dining from 4-9pm, Tuesday through Saturday.

****Quick Update**** Due to the current situation and uncertainty in Sonoma County we have decided to postpone our Virtual Chef & Vintner Dinner with Halleck Vineyards. We will now host the event on Friday, September 18th. Any purchased meals will now be honored on that date and if needed, we are happy to refund if you cannot make that date work. In the meantime. Stay safe, stay vigilant & know we’ll get through this. #sonomastrong

Same story, different day. Due the the LNU/Walbridge fires & the deteriorating air quality, we will be takeaway only tonight and possibly through the weekend as we monitor the situation here in Sebastopol. To everyone, especially our first responders working tirelessly to protect our communities, stay safe. We’d love to see you for pick up and in person as soon as it’s safe for everyone.

Wanted to give everyone a quick heads up that we have made the decision in the interest of keeping our guests and staff as safe as possible to close our patio dining for this evening as we monitor the fires to our North. That being said we hope you can join us for takeaway, which we will be offering from 4-9pm. Our thoughts are with the brave first responders battling an earlier than expected deluge of fires. Stay safe, stay positive and be kind to one another. We’ll get through this as we have before. #ramengaijin #toosmalltofail #smallbusiness #sonomastrong #sonomacounty

Calling all vegans! We are so excited to introduce our new ramen special: our take on the popular vegan tonkotsu. We create this creamy broth from oat milk and ...konbu dashi and believe our handmade organic hakata noodles compliment the broth perfectly. Toppings include spicy marinated bean sprouts, blanched spinach, fried eggplant, blistered cherry tomatoes and chunks of soft tofu. We’ve been wanting to have a vegan ramen that was conceptualized from the ground up as a vegan option, and this is it! It really stands on its own as a balanced and satisfying bowl! See more

Hey there. So while we aren’t welcoming guests in to our dining room for at least the next three weeks( and probably longer, gulp), we are still stoked to have you on our expanded patio or for takeaway. We’ll be back at it from 4-9pm all week and would love to see you! Supporting small food busines now is more important than ever. So if you can, show support as often as possible to your favorite local restaurants. Places [email protected], @backyardforestville , @forkroadhouseandcatering @fernbar.sebastopol, @thenectary , @acrepizza @khom_loi_sonoma , @woodfourbrewing & @ramengaijin are all working through this along with you and are doing what we do best. Bringing you delicious food and a piece of normalcy in these abnormal times. Kampai! #supportsmallbusiness #toosmalltofail #localmatters #pandemicssuck.

We still out here( for now). So as most of you have probably heard, it looks like we are heading for another shutdown of indoor dining starting next week. While we are disappointed that we are in a place where this is the reality, we want to do our part to make sure our community stays safe and comes out stronger than before. With that said we will still be open through Saturday(and next week if allowed) for indoor dining. We are taking every precaution to keep you safe and... ask that you return the favor when coming to dine with us or to takeaway. If we all play our part we will get through this sooner. Assuming we are required to shutdown indoor dining we will remain open for outdoor dining on our patio and for takeaway Your support for those options means more now than ever before. We appreciate the continued support of Ramen Gaijin and look forward to seeing you soon( wearing a mask of course). #ramengaijin #toosmalltofail #saverestaurants #irc #sonomastrong See more

Just a quick reminder that Ramen Gaijin will be closed tomorrow for the 4th of July holiday. But that doesn’t stop you from coming down today to sit on our patio and enjoy a Mujina Mule or Tanuki or ordering takeaway! Happy Holliday! #ramengaijin #smallbusiness #toosmalltofail #fourthofjuly

Quick update. Due to the days getting longer and the demand for later seatings we are tweaking our hours starting tomorrow. Going forward we will be open from 4-9pm. Just like you we are adjusting to and tinkering with what the new world is giving us. We appreciate you understanding as we work together to figure this out. We’ll see you tomorrow (albeit a bit later in the day).

Newness alert. We’ve all had more down time than we were probably expecting in 2020 and we didn’t sit idle. We tinkered, we created and we came up with these beauties. Presenting our lineup of house carbonated and bottled cocktails. All using premium spirits and meticulously balanced. Perfect for summer takeaway or cracking open in our newly organized and socially distanced dining room & patio. These little lovelies are the perfect bright bubbly compliment to a spicy tan-tan men or to wash down a plate of Kara-age. We’re currently offering these for $12 a pop or a 4 pack for $40. Join us or bring some home starting today. #ramengaijin #carbonation #cocktails
