Our story

Meet the robot

Since December 2022, our Bear Robotics server has helped bring bowls right to the table. It helps our team keep service moving while giving guests something fun to enjoy during their visit. Kids especially love seeing it roll through the dining room, and it has become one of the most memorable parts of the Ocha experience.

If you haven't been here yet, you need to ask yourself WHY NOT?! You're missing out. Hurry up. We had miso ramen, ultimate dry noodles, 5 spice duck and edamame. None of it disappointed. The food looked beautiful, tasted beautiful, the temp was amazing. 200% will come back.

If you’re in Columbia and craving comfort food that hugs you from the inside out, Ocha Noodles & Ramen is the move. I went with the Dealer’s Choice and landed on the miso ramen — and wow.

The noodles were perfectly cooked with just the right bite, and every spoonful felt like it was personally crafted to fix whatever kind of day you were having. It wasn’t just good… it was “pause mid-conversation and nod in approval”…

On more than one occasion, this place has literally saved my life when I was battling a brutal cold. Their pho is pure magic. No matter which style or protein you choose, chicken, beef, or tofu, it always hits. The broth is comforting, deeply flavorful, and somehow makes you feel like everything is going to be okay.I also really appreciate their takeout packaging.

went on a tuesday evening and it was decently crowded. we ordered the five spice duck ramen, yellow curry with rice and miso ramen. the five spice ramen was phenomenal! the duck meat used was tender and juicy, and the broth was delicious - the flavor of the five spice really shone through and i loved it. i also enjoyed the presentation, where it came in a warmed wok with a lid. the yellow curry was also very good! i do wish it wasn’t served on a platter so the curry didn’t cook so quickly,…
