Best ramen in SF. I got the Lobster Tonkatsu. The flavor is rich but not over powering. The pieces of pork were amazing. I highly recommend

Unique ramen flavors, great portions and price. Wonderful lunch menu that is posted on the board outside. Love that they give you a pitcher of water and service was fast since there was 3 other groups. The restaurant is somewhat dark and can improve the interior m, but really good food! Got the original lobster tonkotsu ramen, very creamy and good lobster pork flavor. The noodles were cooked al dente had a good chew. And again, large portion with a lot protein. Go check it out, no need to break your bank with pricier ramen.

The best ramen! I had been trying different ramen restaurants around the city since my favorite spot on the Fillmore street closed, and I came to this place. It was amazing, the best ramen in the city. The price is also very reasonable. A must try!

Came here for the special set and added on the extra chashu. The food is delicious. For 14 dollars, this set is hard to beat in the area. Friendly customer service. 9/10 no drama

Food: I have tried the today's special. The portion of food is full enough. No need to grab another quick bite in the afternoon. Service: Quick and accurate. I sat down, finished the food and left the place within 20 minutes. Ambiance: a bit dark. Not a problem. This is a small business for sure. Nothing fancy.

Very delicious and affordable ramen spot. I ordered the B12, which was very good tantan. We had the gyoza and karaage potstickers which were delicious as well. The portions are impressive for the price. Service was great, and the inside was clean and quiet.
