Satisfying portion of delicious ramen with creamy broth and super tender pork. The place was pretty busy, thus the service pretty mediocre. Not recommended for anyone who does not eat pork, is vegetarian, or vegan.

I am not sure if every Wednesday is so crowded, but to be safe, I would try and get their first seating when they open if you're with a small group.

i keep returning to Onibaba rather than to the other ramen joiints.  sometimes at work on a wednesday, i'll start thinking of Onibaba then decide i need some Onibaba ramen.  when i start to think about Onibaba,  i can't help myself and head over there for lunch. Some new ramens have been added and lucky me,  i've tasted them all. My favorites now in order of importance  (to me): #!1   Tan Tan Men.   this is a brand new addtition and now my absolute new favorite!  the strong, assertive broth with chile spicy is just this side of almost too spicy. the ground pork was seasoned just so.  wish there were more of that ground pork.  the debut bowl was served with fresh takenoko (bamboo shoots). if i can,  i will make the trip to Onibaba for this every time this is on the wednesday lunch menu. #2  Shoyu Ramen #3  Miso Ramen.  gotta love the butter #4  Shiyou Ramen #5  Kare (curry) Ramen
