The Love Ramen at 229 Atwood St. in Oakland (
map) is temporarily closed for renovations. During that time,
according to a county inspection report, it will revamp the menu and add a new bathroom. A
new self-serve noodle place from the owners of Love Ramen opened this month at 3608 Fifth Ave. (
map), in what was formerly Hanami and Thai Hana. Staff refer to the place as Love Ramen in English, though it exists online as Malaxiangguo because the lone English-language signage on the window is an advertisement for hot pot.
