The best pizza west of New York - Ralph Barbieri, KNBR
Business Summary what's this?
For three star Japanese, try Katana-Ya Ramen in El Cerrito. When you step inside the restaurant, you'll notice a casual atmosphere. This restaurant is very affordable. This place features catering and lunch. This restaurant is handicap accessible and good for groups.

In my quest for finding good noodle houses to replace my favorites, that went out of business, I found Katana-ya. I came because of the ramen, but don't let the name fool you -- they have a lot more...
