Bommy: Best ramen in SF. Get the ritsu tonkotsu ramen with added pork belly for $2 extra. Make reservations because the wait is ridiculously long...
Karsten: Pork belly ramen, spicy tuna on crispy rice, and bacon wrapped mochi
Melissa Dagdagan: My favorite ramen spot in San Francisco. Tonkotsu ramen, mmmm!

Diana Arz: Lovely decor (baskets for your belongings under the table!), very unique, extremely creamy ramen. Wish they added eggs. Open late. Super friendly. A bit pricey, but worth the try!
Matthew Huie: The Tori Paitan ramen was delicious! Shio ramen was recommended for my next visit.
Sanrag Sood: The vegetarian ramen is amazing. And if you're not a vegetarian, order two extra chashu to go with it.

Henri Liriani: Vibe is chill, service is amazing, and I LOVED the sesame miso ramen.
Renganathan Ramamoorthy: My wife thought the spicy miso ramen was amazing. Being vegetarian, the vegetarian version was meh.
TK-421: Love the garlic noodles and miso ramen. Tried the homemade tofu, it's good with the wasabi salt, but too soft for me. Green curry is also great. No tips about droids though.

Jole P: Delicious ramen with pork that melts in your mouth. The red bean fish shaped desserts are also a favorite
Artem Zinnatullin: I liked Ramen, broth is great, pork is awesome, but noodles seem to be a cheaper ones.
Bobbie McLellan: Karage and the spicy tonkotsu ramen were both very good. Large portions. Broth and noodles definitely not going to beat the best in the city but good overall.

Dave Jensen: The ramen was quite good. The broth is both delicious and unique. The seared pork, in the ramen, is excellent.
Nana: Chashu pork sandwich or the Asian sandwich was really good. Ramen was good too but they err on the lower side for meat. I want more 🐷
Mihnea Munteanu: Ramen and matcha latte are awesome

Bikash Mishra: Decent neighborhood ramen and noodle spot.
Luke White: This take out place has amazing Asian noodles of many varieties for a very reasonable price. The Thai khao soi (rich coconut broth with noodles) is incredible, and the miso ramen is delicious.
Jake Teton-Landis: PERFECT. All the best noodles in one place, a great Japanese craft beer selection, and excellent service. The Khao Soi and Yakisoba were both great. I'll be heading back to try the ramen!
