Just getting into bowls of noodles so not too informed. I had a nice pho bowl with beef and noodles with fresh bean sprouts and herbs. Broth was nicely flavored. Also at table was egg rolls and krab Rangoon that was good. Another bowl of noodles was sucked up by Gson. Staff was friendly and efficient delivering food to table. The dining area could use some refreshment. read more

The Duck and noodles were very bland, couldn't finish my ramen. I hope the rest of the menu isn't the same. Very underwhelming.

I really like their environment and the way they serve the food. It is a good choice for noodles meals. But the thing is they are not served free water you need to buy the bottle water or drink. read more

My fiancé and I were super excited to have some ramen. Back home in Orange County, ramen is a staple for us, so we were looking forward to trying some here in Columbia. The place is a fast casual, order at the counter type. The staff was friendly. The menu had lots of soup options, and some sushi too. - Spicy miso ramen (3/5): it looked really yummy! The soup was flavorful, but tasted a bit watery. The bamboo and fish cakes were great! The pork did not seem very fresh though, and the soup was just Luke warm (and I like having ramen super temperature hot!). - Tonkatsu ramen (3.5/5): this one was good! I really liked the cheese corn. It was also Luke warm. The egg was not really soft boiled (it was more like hard boiled). - Sunkissed roll (3.5/5): this roll was small (6 pieces), but good for the price. The salmon was good but not great, did not taste very fresh. We were a bit disappointed overall, because the reviews of these place look great! We just weren't very impressed. read more

Hands down the best ramen in Columbia! Every bite was full of flavor and comfort -- it made me so happy. I'll definitely be coming back again and again." read more

Delicious Ramen! The soup is souper savory (lol) the vegetables also bring a not too sweet addition to the broth. They used yellow noodles that have a great chew. The staff were very nice and helpful making a menu choice.My only complaint was a couple of the pieces of duck were tough but, overall most were tender. I would have loved to see some chili oil or black vinegar to add some heat and sourness. Overall one of the best bowls of ramen I've ever had! read more

Pretty good ramen! Better than store bought and more than enough food for one person. They did charge for to-go containers which was annoying. WARNING: Spicy Miso is spicy, not Taco Bell fire sauce spicy, we're talking bowl full of Siracha spicy read more

Egg rolls were good but they weren't homemade. Shoyu ramen had zero flavor. Seriously the worst ramen I've ever had. Noodles were decent but nothing in the soup had any flavor. It was really sad. read more

Very small space. The staff was nice. They have robot delivery to the table and he was nice. The Ramen was delicious! It was very flavorful. They have many bottled drinks option for purchase. We enjoyed our lunch! read more

Really I give this a 2.5 it was pretty mid. This was my first time having ramen so I was excited to try. I mean the effort is there but some work can be done. The shrimp was like not good at all idk if it wasn't cooked all the way or if it was old but it was not good at all. I like the spicy miso, very spicy though so if you can't handle heat I would try recommend. I also got pork and it was not good. Overall there was a lack a flavor but the spicy miso was so powerful I guess that somewhat helped with adding flavor. A robot thing brought us our food that was pretty cool. The bowls are pretty expensive so this isn't a place I would just causally eat at. read more

I love the double noodles although that is not whats posted in my picture. Double noodles has a thai and yellow curry spin to it. Soooo delicious. Thai is one of my favorites so I knew it would be good! In my photo I had chicken miso bowl. After I experienced the double noodles, I wont go back. The miso bowl was good but not as good as the double noodles. read more

Ocha is a newer place on the south side of town in the plaza with Walmart. There really isn't good ramen in town, so there wasn't much competition to begin with. We called in our order and was put on a noisy hold for 2 min. When we arrived, we still had to wait in line for pickup. They didn't seem to be socially distancing too well, as there were multiple groups throughout and busy. We got the tonkatsu and spicy miso. The tonkatsu broth was super salty and the spicy miso was super spicy. They packed everything well to go, and the portion size was good. Would recommend to give it a try if you're looking for hot soup, but it wasn't anything mind blowing. read more

Ramen was ok. Sushi was sub-par. Place wasn't the cleanest. The setup is nice, though, and there's a ton of potential for this place. Wish it had been a little better. The whole experience just felt "lazy." Probably try another place before returning. read more

We were in the mood for some ramen and sushi and came here before a Mizzou game. I've got to say, I wasn't too impressed with the spicy miso ramen. The flavor was severely lacking and it tasted quite bland. The noodles were OK, but nothing to write home about. But the kicker for me was that the whole dish was served lukewarm and was not hot at all like it needed to be. Now my son's sushi did taste pretty good, so that's why I'm not knocking them down too far. But still. Let's create some bold flavor and make a dish that's memorable! read more

Pho Beef, Pho Vietnamese Noodle Soup and Thai Curry are the dishes to go for. This restaurant has been on the Lake Ozark Strip for years and keeps me coming back. But I must say, not as good as authentic Vietnamese Soup Shops found in major cities. Gotta visit to make your own opinions... If you really want it hot like I do, you'll need to tell them. Standard dishes are not as hot as authentic. read more

Tasty! They had many different options of ramen. They had very fast service including a robot waiter. Nice atmosphere.

This was a fun place to eat. The ramen was good and tasty. It was fun to have the robot deliver our food. The prices were reasonable.

Ocha is the perfect spot to get a meal that makes you feel cozy! I was just getting over a cold and was craving some soup. Ocha was easy to order takeout and simple to pick up (according to the hubby)! I got the Coconut Tom Yum Shrimp Ramen and oh. My. Goodness. Best ramen I've ever had! So flavorful and delicious down to the last bite. The portion is much bigger than I had anticipated too! Love this place!! read more

On my last night in COUMO, I decided I wanted to try another ramen place after having a less-than-stellar time at another. I saw this place and figured it was worth a try - I was so glad I did! I got the Tonkotsu Ramen and the Shio Ramen. They were filled with flavor and it was very authentic. My partner got a custom ramen because he needs Gluten Free and they apparently take allergies seriously because he had no ill effects / didn't get sick afterwards. I can't sing enough praise about this place. It restored my faith in MO ramen. I got to meet the chef and he was telling us how we're getting it really fresh because the broth had just been made and you could tell! It was a good bowl of ramen and I'll definitely be coming back again when I'm in the area. read more

Ordered food through a delivery app, and honestly the ramen was a little disappointing. It had an ok flavor but lacked depth and the noodles were not what I was expecting (I was expecting thicker noodles). It was kind of expensive for a just normal portion size. However the curry gyoza were delicious. Again just kind of expensive (it may be cheaper in the store itself but on the app it was like ~6.50$ for 4 gyoza). read more

Like many midwestern folk, I only knew the instant packs that sat in the cupboard, but everything changed today. I went in with the goal of trying something new, so I tried the Tonkotsu ramen (with some alterations because I don't like mushrooms). The first sip threw me for a moment because I couldn't place what I was tasting. It was umami flavor, which I haven't had before but have heard so much about. The broth was flavorful. The noodles were perfect- soft but not falling apart. The soft boiled egg was rich and meaty. The carrots were earthy and flexible. The corn added this sweet pop. I never thought I would love a dish so much upon first try. But let me tell ya, I will be back because this was the best thing I've tasted. read more

Great ambiance, my daughter loved the robot that brought us our food! The Ramen was incredible! My husband really liked the sushi. And a huge variety of drinks to choose from read more

Pretty tasty... I really needed pho as I wasn't feeling so great. This broth is THE BEST hangover cure btw. I was just off vacation and jet lagged. I almost ordered the duck spice soup , but I will go back for that next time. Space was clean and cute. I can't wait to go try all the different broths. read more

Ocha Noodles and Ramen - Pho with spinach added. - Ramen Near Me - Columbia, Missouri

My husband and I love a good ramen restaurant. The fact that they are in a strip mall gave me pause at first, but I'm always game to wait until I try the food. We tried the spicey pork ramen, which was excellent. The broth was rich, hearty, well balanced and had just the right amount of heat. It was packed with nice slices of pork, vegetables, mushrooms, plenty of noodles and Nori. We also ordered eggrolls and crab Rangoon. The dipping sauce they provided was heaven. We were disappointed that they were out of their signature chicken wings but hey, it happens. The staff was very accommodating and friendly, but the atmosphere was average and looked a little like any fast-food place. It was a lot of fun getting our meal served by a robot. I would say that all in all the food was delicious, the staff friendly and it was just a nice place to have a steaming hot bowl of ramen on a cold, rainy day. Nothing fancy, just a nice place to have a meal. read more

I love this place. Owner is super nice too and so is the team that works the counter. I ordered the BBQ pork wonton noodle soup. The broth is awesome...so much depth of flavor but very clear and clean. They are very generous with the vegetables so if you like veggies in your noodle soup you will love this one. Also the portion size if pretty huge so very good value. I usually order traditional Thai Tom yum noodle soup but it wasn't on the menu but the owner told me I can just ask for it next time...so nice of her. read more

Absolutely never again. I've tried this place 3 times because it's close to my house. Tonight I took 4 family members and was immediately told that we could only take food to go bc all tables were full. I responded that we were ok with that , so we placed an order and were given a buzzer, even though the place is so small they could have just told us when it was ready. We waited 25 minutes and the buzzer didn't go off but I didn't go check bc they were busy so we just waited patiently...during which time the entire place emptied and all seats were open. The guy who waited on me walked over with a bag and rudely told our group that he buzzed us 4 times. I gave him the buzzer and said it is not working then. He sat the bag on the floor and walked away. When we got home I found that the sushi was a mess of rice and no crab meat. The ramen also leaked all over the bag and the back of my car. I returned to get a refund and the guy who waited on me walked away and wouldn't talk to me. What a waste of my time and my family who was visiting from out of town. I will never go to this place again and I will make sure everyone I know is aware of the kind of service they provide . read more

Ocha Noodles and Ramen - Tonkotsu Ramen - Ramen Near Me - Columbia, Missouri

I have been eating Ramen my whole life. Growing up as an Asian American I've had my fair share of Ramen, Pho, and other noodle incorporated dishes. By far the worst experience I have had was at Ocha. The broth was very oily. The quality of meat was poor. Even the portion of the meal was very small. I finished the entire bowl and was not satisfied. Very small amounts of meat and vegetables. All in all tasted terrible, way over priced; almost $50 for two bowls of ramen!! Unauthentic food and oh my goodness I forgot to add that they served us warm sink water from a sink filled with dirty dishes along with it! read more

We have not tried the ramen here, but the Beef Pho is excellent just what we needed after a long drive into Columbia. Very flavorful the broth was still very hot even after after bringing it to our room and they do a good job packaging the broth and toppings. read more

I really like coming to this place and always enjoy my food. But BEWARE! They recently started charging you $1 + tax per to go container you need. Absurd. Will deter me from returning. read more

We had all appetizers to try numerous things. They were so good had chicken satay which the chicken was so tender it almost melt in your mouth. Garlic edamame was perfectly seasoned. A steamed dumpling which had a great dipping sauce and a side is fried rice. The fun thing was it was all delivered by a robot. Will be back again to try more! read more

Stopped in for a tasty warm bowl of ramen. My boyfriend and I both got a bowl and the total came out to be $40. $40 for two bowls of ramen noodles. The total was way to much but I was reserved until our food came out. My broth tasted like spoiled eggs and we both barely had any noodles. We asked for water and were given water straight from the sink full of dirty dishes and no ice. My shrimp was over cooked and falling apart. The chicken was dry. My boyfriend got His soup without mushrooms and spinach even though he asked and paid for them. Leaving the restaurant unsatisfied, hungry and over charged. Not worth it. read more

I've had both miso and tonkotsu ramen from Ocha and both have been very good. The broth is great and the noodles are cooked perfectly. I recommend asking for extra spicy, or, if you're eating in, use the pepper flakes provided on the table. Makes it extra good! If you've had ramen before, you know it's better eating at the restaurant when it's fresh. I've eaten inside Ocha and done a take out order as well. Inside right after it was made is obviously the better way to go, but with COVID and all their take out is a fine alternative too. Everything was neatly packaged, clean, and quick. Just warm it up a little and combine everything in a bigger bowl when you get home and it's delicious! Really nice place overall and I'm very glad to have a good ramen place in CoMo! Hope you guys stick around! read more

This was a great place that served quite a variety of ramen, dinner plates, etc. We like to try new restaurants and flavors when we can and love Asian inspired cuisine so this fit well! We ordered the BYOB of grilled chicken, ramen, miso, and scallions, and also the Japanese curry. We were absolutely stuffed by the end of dinner and everything was wonderful! I only gave 4 stars as we usually try a dessert and they had at least 5-6 on their handwritten menu board, but only one available. Very bummed about that! If dessert isn't your thing, or even if it is, you will LOVE the food! read more
