Ohho Noodles Market: A Coral Gables Ramen Shop Inside an Old Burger King

Ohho Noodles Market, at 1100 S Dixie Hwy in Coral Gables, pours a Ramen Tonkotsu with chashu pork belly for $18 on its printed menu, and it is the bowl that brings University of Miami students across the highway. If you are searching for a ramen shop near me between the UM campus and South Miami, this converted fast food building runs a full noodle menu, and its official locations page lists it open Monday through Sunday from 10 am to 10:30 pm.

The concept came from restaurateur Jack Punma, who told the Herald he wanted a place he would like to hang out in himself. He hired executive chef Yodpao Teddy Rerkmuang, who grew up in Hat Yai in southern Thailand and trained at culinary school in Bangkok. According to the Herald, the name comes from the Asian expression oh ho, which means wow. That Thai kitchen background shows in the menu, which reaches well beyond Japan.

Be clear about what kind of ramen shop this is before you go. Ohho is a pan-Asian noodle house, so the menu card puts Japanese ramen next to Vietnamese pho, Singaporean laksa, Thai curry noodles and Korean udon. Purists who want a single tonkotsu recipe obsessed over for decades should look elsewhere. Students who want a big, affordable bowl and a friend who wants pad thai at the same table will be very happy here.

The ramen section is short and easy to read. Every bowl on it gets a hanjuku egg, scallion, bamboo shoot, nori, corn and kikurage mushrooms. The Ramen Tonkotsu uses pork broth and costs $18 with chashu pork belly or $20 with short ribs. The Miso Ramen with chicken and miso broth follows the same pricing, and a Shoyu Ramen with chicken broth does too, so you are choosing broth and protein, not price.

Vegetarians have two real options rather than a token bowl. The Miso Ramen with vegetable broth is $17 with tofu or with vegetarian chicken, and there is a Shoyu Ramen on vegetable broth at the same $17. If you want heat, the Spicy Kimchi Ramen in Hot Pot costs $20 and arrives loaded with beef, fish cake, bacon, sausage, onion and napa cabbage in a red kimchi soup. It is the bowl to share if you also plan to order snacks.

Time Out ranked Ohho twelfth on its list of the best ramen in Miami, and its reasoning is simple: in a ramen house full of college students, it serves some of the biggest bowls in the city for two or three dollars less than elsewhere. The same writeup points lighter eaters toward the pork, chicken or chicken and miso broths. That value pitch is the heart of the place, so order a ramen and leave room for the side dishes.

Those sides are where a group can spend wisely. Gyoza come six to an order for $9, the Pork Belly Bao is $10, and Fried Krab Wontons are also $10. Spicy edamame costs $7, and the Korean Fried Chicken is listed at $9 for six pieces. Our honest call for two people is one tonkotsu, one kimchi hot pot and an order of gyoza, which covers rich, spicy and crisp without doubling up.

If someone at the table does not want ramen at all, the noodle soups and stir fries cover a lot of ground. The Singaporean Laksa Lemak is $16, rice noodles in spicy coconut milk soup with chicken, shrimp and bean sprouts. Hong Kong Duck costs $22, egg noodles topped with roasted duck, broccoli, bok choy and snow peas, and the Herald called the duck a popular order. Pad Thai is $16, and Galbi Udon with Korean short ribs is $22.

Hours depend on which official page you read. The restaurant's own locations page says 10 am to 10:30 pm every day, while its online ordering page on order.online lists ordering hours of 11 am to 9:55 pm. Plan a sit down meal for after 11 am and before 10 pm and you stay inside both windows. Time Out describes the room as full of college students, so if you want a quieter table, skip the lunch hour between classes and come for an early dinner.

There is no line system to learn here. The official site does not offer reservations, so treat it as a walk in noodle house. Ask for a seat at the counter if you want to watch the wok station, which the Herald singled out as part of the show. Pickup and delivery orders run through the website, which is handy for a dorm night. Keep in mind that the online ordering menu is priced higher than the printed dine in menu, so eating at the table is the better deal.

Drinks are part of the Hong Kong stall idea. The printed menu lists beers, sake and wine alongside bubble tea, which costs $4.50 for a small and $5.50 for a large, with extra toppings available to customize the drink. A cold beer with the kimchi hot pot is the pairing the room seems built for, while the bubble tea is the better match for the laksa, whose coconut broth carries a slow chili heat that builds as you eat.

After the meal, the University of Miami campus is right down South Dixie Highway, and the Lowe Art Museum at 1301 Stanford Drive is one of the best free stops in Coral Gables. Its official site invites visitors to reserve free admission tickets, so book online before you walk over. For shopping and a coffee, The Shops at Merrick Park sits a short drive north and is open until 9 pm on Friday and Saturday and until 7 pm on Sunday.

Practical notes: the address is 1100 S Dixie Hwy, Coral Gables, FL 33146. The printed menu prices quoted here come from the restaurant's own menu file dated August 2025. Beer and wine are served. Orders for pickup or delivery can be placed on the official website. The Miami Herald's 2019 review remains the best background on the owner, the chef and the design.

This ramen shop suits UM students who want a large bowl without a large bill, mixed groups where one person wants ramen and another wants pho or pad thai, and anyone curious about a fast food building turned into a Hong Kong noodle stall. Order the Ramen Tonkotsu with chashu, add gyoza for the table, and finish with a slow walk past campus. For more noodle ideas around Coral Gables, ask the Karpo APP.
