This small, local hole in the wall Ramen spot was such a pleasant surprise. The food was absolutely delicious and packed with flavor. I ordered the Tom Kah Ramen and the mango sticky rice and both were incredible. The Ramen had the perfect balance of richness and heat and the mango sticky rice was the perfect sweet finish. Everything was hot, fresh, and ready right on time for pick up, complete with smiling faces at the door, which made it the ideal cozy meal for a rainy night at home. Fast, and comforting, exactly what you want from a Ramen place. I will definitely be going again. read more

Discovered this gem a few years ago when craving late night Asian food and didn't think jt was real. Open until midnight? In Ventura? I don't know why it took me so long to leave a review. Me and my friends frequent this place all the time for late night eats. Sad that they took off some things from the menu (like the Suki Hang) but I understand... probably needed to streamline the menu for more efficient restaurant. But love having a late night Thai/Ramen shop open in the 805. No need to drive out to the valley or LA. The food is amazing here... I love their Chef's Special ramen. If you love Tom Kha, this is the move. That broth! read more

Came here by recommendation & it wasn't our cup of tea to be honest.. Tried the Chef Special Ramen which is Tom Kha Soup with ramen noodles. Flavor had too much lemongrass with creamy coconut. Mushrooms were undercooked. Tofu was fresh & crispy I'll say that. 5/10 Also tried the Pad See Ew with Beef. Flavor was bland. Beef and Noodles tasted like tap water for some reason. 1/10 Service wise. We were greeted when we came in but could be dressed more appropriately. Sandals in a restaurant environment? I don't feel too great about that. Tables can also be cleaned a little better. It was sticky.. read more

8E88 Rice & Ramen - Yellow Curry R5 Thai Golden Ramen with soft tofu (Vegan) - Thai Near Me - Ventura, California

5 stars A Ramen experience like no other! I don't normally gravitate toward ramen--especially Japanese-style ramen--because it often reminds me of elevated instant noodles with good broth. But 8E88 completely changed my perception. We tried the Chef Special Ramen (mild spice level - 1), and it was phenomenal. What made it stand out was the Thai-inspired broth--a flavorful blend of coconut, lemongrass, and Tom Yum notes that added depth and warmth without being overpowering. It was rich, fragrant, and absolutely delicious. The noodles were perfectly cooked--not too soft, not too firm--and absorbed the broth beautifully. This wasn't your typical ramen. It was a unique fusion that brought together the best of Thai and Japanese comfort food in one bowl. We wouldn't have tried it if it weren't for the glowing recommendation from a regular customer sitting inside--and we're so glad we listened! Special thanks to X & J, two friendly faces we met there who helped make our visit even better. Highly recommend giving this dish a try if you're looking for something flavorful, memorable, and a little different from the usual ramen spots! We got the Chicken Chef Special Ramen $17 and we added fish balls $3 = $20 + tax = $21.55, we got it to go and ended up eating most of it in the car. read more

First time trying this spot . I got the drunken noodles and they were decent . The noodles were all stuck together which I didn't really like . My wife got the Tom Yum ramen and it was fantastic. The broth was delicious! Service was good since there was only us and another group eating in . read more

Stopped in for a quick bite. The server wore many hats. He took our order then proceeded to cook it in a hot wok that filled the room with delicious aromas. Try the fried shrimp, crab rangoons and Thai boba tea. All five stars. Beef pad-se-ew had a strange after taste. It was missing black beans hence my four- star rating. Service was perfect. We shall return for other dishes. Thank you! read more

Yum! Another stellar Thai inspired restaurant in the 805. This restaurant is new and you should definitely check them out. The vibes were causal cute, service was beyond friendly, and the food was really good. I was glad to see that 8E88 Rice & Ramen had opened up as this location as its had its fair share of Asian inspired business come in and out. I really hope this place is successful because this side of Ventura is hurting for some good eats and stellar Thai food. Luckily this restaurant isn't far off the Johnson freeway exit, it's easily accessible and there is plenty of parking. The restaurant itself is cute and cozy. Only about 7-9 small tables. Would be the perfect spot for takeout but I like coming here outside of normal rush hours to ensure I can snag a little table. I love how they've redone the decor in here, the chairs were a cute orange color and super comfortable. This place has a nice pop of color inside and is welcoming. The staff here are really really nice and I felt comfortable even eating here alone as the vibes were good and staff checked up on me a good amount, but it wasn't overdone. I like how nice everyone was and being a new business they are really grateful for your patronage and feedback on your meal and experience. My order was taken quickly and the food came out pretty fast, impressed, definitely a good spot if you only have so much time on your lunch break. Prices were average and I have no complaints. At first I did think almost $6 for a drink was a little steep but I can't lie, the lemon Thai tea was super flavorful and refreshing, it's worth the price all day long for a nice change from a heavy traditional Thai tea. Aside from the tea being really good and refreshing I loved my Tom Kai Ramen. A nice twist on the classic coconut broth soup. The chicken was plentiful and the broth had good flavor. Lots of mushrooms and a whole boiled egg, good value for the amount of toppings. Definitely a tasty dish when you want something a little more unique than tom kai or ramen on their own. This spot has a pretty good sized menu. It was hard to narrow down a choice as they had a lot of tasty looking appetizers, soups, Thai dishes, and sides like fried rice and noodles. Good spot to share or order a small lunch special. Definitely don't sleep on this new business, I want them to be successful and was really impressed with the vibes and food for such a low key casual joint. read more

So grateful this spot is open late! It's been challenging to find restaurants open past 9pm in Ventura County and we were excited to try this one. The Chefs Special Ramen was tasty and the Pad Thai was also great. Our server was attentive and professional. Will be back again! read more

I wanted to like this food spot! I just have a couple of comments that dropped me from giving 3/4 stars to 2. I got a to-go order, which I would not recommend. I only live about 10 minutes away, but by the time I got home the food was not edible. I had to re-heat and almost recook some parts of the meal. I probably got the wrong item to take home :/ The service was good, the employee answered all of my questions over the phone, had everything ready for me when I arrived, etc. It is a very small food spot. It is also tucked in the corner and the temporary sign isn't easily seen when driving in. The area/surrounding is okay, there are a few shops in the same complex (smoke shop, donut shop- across); so it's a little random. It might work for those very local to the area in terms of good access to ramen, but I don't think I will go to that part of town or area again- unfortunately. read more

3.5 stars! We came on a Friday when they opened and we were the only customer. They switched owners 2 months ago. Use to be Toki and then Noodles by Jinny and now 8E88. We ordered the karage chicken, Tom khả ramen, and Panang curry, and a Thai iced tea. The food were okay! Not bad. I was looking for Hainan chicken but didn't see it on the menu but saw it advertised on their yelp page? I would go and check it out for yourself. read more

Ordered the food for the first time tonight. The crab rangoon was 99% cream cheese. i saw the tiniest reddish spot that may have been the crab but otherwise there was none. I ordered the tom yum soup and it came with tomatoes which is super strange. the broth tasted nothing like tom yum. it sort of tasted like a chicken noodle with tomato. it didn't taste bad but it did not taste like what i ordered at all. i was very dissapointed because i saw all the good reviews but the food wasn't up to par. read more

When you see a small restaurant, never judge by size of the establishment. Go inside, order something and give the restaurant a chance to impress you. People seving were nice and the food came out quick and piping hot. I Had the Tom Kha Soup with chicken, a delicious soup and the wife had the Panang Curry with beef, flavor for days here. Both dishes were very tasty with a good balance of overall seasoning. I deducted one star for way too many chopped fresh tomatoes in my soup. Replace half of the tomatoes with cilantro, more types of mushrooms and more shallots, and than the soup will be perfect. We'll be back, thanks. read more

A good late-night Thai spot to drop into. The staff was prompt considering there were only 2 people manning the phones, tables and kitchen with a pretty packed restaurant. We ordered the Crunchy Cashew and Panang Curry, two options you can never go wrong with when it comes to Thai food. We had to cancel our Crab Rangoons that never came out, a favor for us, the entrees were plentiful! read more

This place was near our hotel. It was a cold night so my wife and I decided to get some ramen. Friendly staff and good service. I ordered the shrimp wonton ramen.

8E88 Rice & Ramen - ( Lunch) Chow Mein with chicken $13.99 - Thai Near Me - Ventura, California

Tried 8E88 since we used to come by the previous ramen/noodle shop that it was before! Service was very kind and friendly. They have a very wide selection of different noodles from Thai to Japanese. I preferred their Thai flavors in the drunk noodle dish which was my favorite and the chef's special which had a nice sour creamy Tom Yum flavor. The chef's special only had a small serving of beef and the pieces were very small. I ordered the lunch special of the drunken noodle which was $1 cheaper, but it was a good serving with the salad and spring roll on the side. It is a small restaurant with a few tables, so not great for big groups. The building is relatively cramped which it has been for previous businesses. Parking is very easy and I saw quite a number of people stop by for lunch. Great if you're nearby! read more

This was an unsuspecting stop after an awards ceremony, and the food definitely overshadowed the day. It was a little on the pricey side (at least by my standards lol) but when we took the food home we were FLOORED by how well it tasted!! The soups were so flavorful and the eggs were cooked very well in the ramen. The tom kha and tom yum were FANTASTIC! All dishes seemed to be made by these two teenage boys who didn't speak a lot of english, so if you're looking for a really good place to eat on your side of town, this is the place :) show them some love!! read more

Yum! We just stumbled across this spot. The service was great. Both dishes were delicious, fresh, and crispy! We also got miso! We didn't order it, so not sure if it's just included, but it was also tasty. The Thai tea was also perfect. Not too sweet and a lil more creamy, which is what I prefer. We will for sure be coming back to try more. read more

8E88 Rice & Ramen - Thai Near Me - Ventura, California

I just love that Ventura is getting blessed with more and more great late-night eats. Open 'til midnight, 8E88 Rice & Ramen is serving up serious flavor bombs with their loaded Thai and Ramen Menu. Every dish is made to order in their open kitchen and the friendly staff only sweetens the deal. Two visits in and 8E88 is a perfect 5-stars for freshness and quality. Tonight, the sub-zero temps called for something warm, rich, and comforting. I went with the Panang Curry with Chicken. The chicken is usually in question for me, because it could be a slimy or stringy tragedy. Not here, my friends! They absolutely stack this dish with tender, perfectly cooked chicken. I also ordered the Crispy Tofu and it did not disappoint. Late-night kitchen, fresh ingredients, friendly staff - 8E88 hits all the right notes. MUST-TRY: Level up your Crispy Tofu game by swapping the Sweet and Sour for the Peanut Sauce! read more

Food is great and service is also really good. Solid local business and definitely a new go-to spot.

We came here because we don't want fast food and we are in middle of Camarillo. This was one of the only place I was open late at night, and there was no review when I came here so we were scared to try it. We were scared that it was going to be a ghost restaurant just like every other places with zero review. 2 hours surprise, it was plenty good. The menu was not typical like every single Thai place that exists, where there are some unique items such as the tom yum ramen. The three of us got the tom yum ramen, tom kha ramen and a stir fry noodle dish. This is a Thai restaurant after all, so we didn't expect the ramen to be like ramen. The noodle wasn't really bad quality, but just was the type of noodle used in at a cheap Japanese ramen place. However, ramen was really good, as the soup complimented to meet and the noodle pretty well. We finished the whole soup after we ate the noodle. The stir fry noodle was also very good. It got some good "wok hei". The gentleman that was working there was also pretty sweet and was taking care of us pretty good. As one of the other reviewers said, there was not the high not chicken that was promoted, so we were a little disappointed. But the food made up for that disappointment. read more

Asian food available until midnight EVERY NIGHT?! What?!? Fave late night bites. Yellow curry was yummy and thick. Garlic lover chicken was nice, would prefer dark meat, but was just happy to not be in line at in and out again late night. Service was very friendly. Lots of take out business, but there are definitely tables for dine in, too. Go eat and make it your late night hang, too. read more

The food was delicious! I wanted ramen but have a gluten sensitivity so they made me the chefs special with glass noodles. I loved the coconut milk broth. A perfect combination. My partner had the pad see ew and said it was delicious. We finished with the best mango rice I've ever had! It came with so much mango! The location and decor left a little to be desired, but the food more than made up for it. read more
