About the Restaurant

Ramen Gaijin is a ramen shop and izakaya on the downtown Sebastopol plaza, and the sister restaurant of Khom Loi. Noodles are made in house, and the kitchen pairs local ingredients with traditional technique.

The Michelin Guide, which awards a Bib Gourmand, mentions light shoyu and spicy tantanmen ramen, karaage and crispy tofu, and recommends the counter seats for watching the cooks. There is a full cocktail and spirits list and a kids' menu.

A warming bowl of ramen is a good reset in the middle of a west county tasting day. Lunch service ends at 2:30, so plan morning tastings to arrive in time. We drop you on the plaza and pick up when you are ready.
