Ordered through Neon
Mike C.

During that period from early 2020 till about two plus years later, I acquired the valuable knowledge of reheating foods. A big part of this is to the credit of a business named Pastel which evolved to become Neon. Having a good history with most noodles that I've bought, I decided to order the House pork ramen (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&select=72iXyoJaxGrhkty7DF9oTw). original packaging (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&select=LgVq8b8DhqHa9wHx6pVztA). It was packed efficiently and nicely (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&select=KdmB7Hvc6obGwX9AeFJ4cg) and the reheating instructions (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&select=e7wguIZaCBANjQ91DN61Dg) were simple and clear. I chose the stove top reheating and worked as explained. I liked the depth of the broth and the noodles had a nice chew likely due to the use of a lower heat. It was a decent portion, perfect for my dinner. You can add a nori leaf or poach or steam an egg to supplement this. Sadly, I steamed my egg too long so the yolk was on the harder side when I combined it with this. Thank you, Ramenwell, for making a quality product and I will study your menu the next time my friend decides to order from Neon. My friend lives a couple blocks away so perhaps I'll dine there instead.

Dole whip & Taro soft serve was oh em gee
Robertta M.

Food was good!! The only reason why I wouldn't go again is cause the parking sucks! I will most definitely curbside pickup!!

Signature Pork Ramen
Shauna f.

Great service and broth is thick and flavorful. Ordered it level 2 spicy and it was perfect. Nice thick piece of pork.

Very yummy food, came out hot and fast. Atmosphere was nice and clean. Cute, clean bathroom. Little expensive though.

Put me in a trash can and force feed me this ramen for 12 hours straight and I will be as happy as a clam. This is by far the best ramen in the city if not the entire world. The broth is crazy, that pork is crazy, everything about this is just perfect. I always get the half spice because the normal spice is too spicy. Be warned because you will never enjoy any other ramen spot for the rest of your life.

My visit took place last Sunday, heard great things about this place, but probably won't come again any time soon. I showed up as a party of 2 with no reservations around 6pm, and was seated quickly. There were many tables available, but the host sat us at the worst table available, which was arm's length with guests on both sides. When we sat down, the other guests and I exchanged glances. My bad, I should've spoke up and requested a different table since there were plenty available (maybe those were reserved, who knows since I didn't speak up). I opted for the Mushroom Lover Ramen and thought the broth was a bit too salty for my liking. Apparently the level 6 spicy wasn't spicy at all (can't confirm since I didn't have a taste). Surprised that the katsu chicken was pretty tasty, had the right crisp and flavor. Finished dinner with the taro soft serve, which was just ok, melted rather quickly. Service was mediocre at best, none of the staff we encountered seem like they wanted to be there. Located within the heart of the Mission with metered street parking or utilize BART, which is a quick walk away. #13/2025

Came here for a friend catchup and we got seated and had a reservation beforehand. Good: - The ramen came out very quickly - I got the classic ramen bowl - The portion size was good - I was very full by the end - A nice place to catch up - it's got japanese izakaya vibes and more dimly lit Bad: - The soup was really salty so it felt like it was unhealthy to drink too much of it Overall this was a solid place to have an extended catch up and the ramen was quick and tasty.

Mushroom Lover Ramen with Side Pork Chashu
Helen L.

3.5 stars The pork was the best part of the meal. The ramen soup to me was just a bit salty but that is fairly common when getting ramen. I just have a lower threshold for salty food. I tried the pork tonkotsu and my husband got the mushroom lover and ordered chashu to go with it. It was a decent bowl of ramen.

Jason A.

This place was highly recommended to me by a friend. I ordered the pork tonkatsu with level 4 spicy and extra corn. The spice level was pretty mild. The broth was rich and savory, but slightly too salty to my taste. I'd love to try the spiciest level next time!

i desperately needed this pork was the absolute perfect texture and the broth is delectable hands down one of the best ramens in sf

Souper Spicy Garlic Pork Ramen

Cute little ramen restaurant tucked away on 18th. We love a little date night here, the wait is not too long but they do offer reservations. They offer bar seating and it gets you in pretty quickly. Ramen broth is rich but delicious nonetheless. Service is great too! Oh and they also have soft serve dole whip or taro flavor!!

Dumplings
Julia M.

Absolutely delicious. The best pork belly I've ever had. The ramen and dumplings were sooo flavorful and delicious. Service was friendly and fast. They have a nice bar area and more tables in the back. We were seated quickly!

Mushroom Lover Ramen
Manisha M.

Ramen hits so great on a cold SF day, but I ended up going on one of the warmest days of the year and it still was amazing!! I visited on a Sunday afternoon and it wasn't too crowded. They allowed me to be seated early while I waited for my friend. We both ordered a vegetarian Mushroom Ramen (spice level 5) and it was perfect! The broth tasted amazing and the variety of mushrooms with the corn made this one of the best vegetarian ramens that I've tried! The quantity was perfect and we enjoyed our meals immensely.

Could I come by for just soft serve ice cream?

Absolutely!

Is proof of vaccination required for outdoor seating as well as indoor?

was not

Do you need proof of vaccine?

Yes, until it’s not required by the city

What happened to Mission HI? There's no more plates on the menu

Hi! Thank you for inquiring. We still have them at lunch. We decided to removed them from dinner because of how busy we get and the fact that our kitchen isn’t set up to execute the 2 menus efficient at a high volume.

Do you have a ramen that is both gluten and soy free?

I’m sorry, we do not. Our gluten free pork ramen has miso in the broth and the chashu pork belly is braise with tamari.

Is there outdoor seating?

Yes there's outdoor seating.

Can the vegan ramen be made gluten free?

Yes. For right now let us know in advance. At the moment we braise the mushrooms with soy sauce so we would have to alter it. I am working with my kitchen staff to make this something more readily available while making sure the flavor is on… 

Do you have any gluten free broths to accompany the gluten free noodles?

We can make any of our broths gluten free if you let us know when you are here. =)

Earlier today my husband and I came for dinner. About 30 minutes in, while we were enjoying the…read moredelicious food, he had what I thought was a seizure. He was unconscious, shaking, thrashing, sweating and groaning. The staff immediately came to my side (as well as customers) to help me. They called 911 at my request, and once the EMTs arrived they were helpful and truly concerned. Not just trying to get us out of the way. Shaking, I tried to hand over my credit card while the EMTs took my husband on a stretcher. The manager said "No, no.. it's fine, it's fine," with the kindest look in his eye. This would have been our third visit because the food is sooooo good. But now I'm basically going to be their cheerleader to anyone who will listen. I could not be more grateful for their grace and aid while I was in near hysteria. Kindness still exists. And so does genuinely good food. PS: it turned out to be dehydration, but it was scary AF, kids. Drink. Your. Water.

I've tried a different location before (San Mateo) for their well known dipping ramen but this time…read moreI wanted to give their normal ramen a try. The ambiance is extremely loud in there and the tables are very close together. So if you're looking for a quiet, less crammed space, this isn't it. The actual restaurant looks very nice, but not sure why the bar seats face a storage area with clear windows. As for the food, the calamari was delicious, they give you whole pieces of little squid. The ramen broth is very hearty and bold. When I was halfway through, it became a little too much. I do wish you're able to pick the thickness of noodles. I didn't like the thin noodles with the ramen. It actually reminded me of instant ramen. But to each their own with noodle thickness. I just wish there were options. I almost wish there was something else in the ramen to balance out the flavor besides more bold flavors from the pork and egg. It does the job but wasn't a huge wow factor. As for the service, they are pretty attentive. I didn't like how one of the servers kept hovering around the entire time grabbing anything they could off the table. The second we took off the wrappers of the chopsticks, they grabbed it. Usually I like the table cleared out to make space but it was the constant hovering that was awkward.

We are writing to express our strong appreciation for the exceptional Umami Creamy Tan-Tan-Men soup…read moreand to respectfully request its permanent return to the menu. This dish stands out as one of the most memorable and flavorful offerings we have experienced. The rich, creamy broth delivers a perfectly balanced umami depth, harmoniously combined with subtle heat and aromatic spices that create an indulgent yet refined dining experience. Both my partner and I were thoroughly impressed by its complexity and comforting warmth, and we have continued to crave it long after the winter season. The Umami Creamy Tan-Tan-Men soup represents a true highlight of your culinary repertoire. We believe it deserves a lasting place on the regular menu, where it can be enjoyed year-round by loyal patrons and new guests alike. Its removal has left a noticeable gap, and we are confident that reinstating it as a signature item would be met with great enthusiasm. Thank you for creating such an outstanding dish. We eagerly await its return and look forward to ordering it on our next visit.

Truly stellar ramen at Hinodeya!…read more A few friends and I were in San Francisco for the day are were carving ramen after a morning of strolling around. We were recommended a spot in the Japantown Center Mall, but settled on Hinodeya after checking Yelp. It turned out to be a great choice. We were greeted upon entering the restaurant and someone rang what to believe to be a gong?! It was a very fun addition to our experience. We were shown to a table and started browsing the menu. The interior was very clean and neat. There are plenty of options, including some for vegetarians/vegans. My two vegetarian friends ordered both of the vegan/vegetarian ramen options and were raving about them. I ordered the Hinodeya (house) ramen and it was delicious. The broth was so flavorful and the noodles were perfect. The table is set with crispy garlic or onions (can't remember) and a chili blend which were yum on top of the ramen. My friends ordered the spicy miso ramen and was satisfied despite it not being very spicy. We had great service the entire time and the prices were very reasonable. Hinodeya is a gem I will be revising on future trips to San Francisco!

It was our first time and we definitely chose the right spot for lunch. The inside is very cozy and warm. We were seated by the corner facing the street which kind of adds to the vibe and seeing the cloudy weather was a perfect day to eat ramen.

It's also only one person serving and hostess-ing and we could tell she was trying her best. We were sitting at the outside facing bar seats at first and appreciate the hostess for re-seating us at a table where we could actually talk to each other. It was my first time and I decided to try the hiyashi chuka as ramen is usually a bit too heavy and salty for me. The classic hiyashi chuka sauce is refreshing and sesame based. I thought it would be the classic sauce, but whatever they had tasted basically like soy sauce and water. I was not a fan, and wish they called it something else so I would not have confused it with the classic hiyashi chuka flavor. We also got the mushroom tempura to share. These were super good!! Stick to the classics! Hope to be back to try their better stuff.

Decided to try the Happy hour at this Japanese place and was blown away…read more Its a small place, maybe 8 tables tops squeezed into this narrow space but it was fantastic. Gretted when we entered, we slid into one the few open tables. The decor was charming, and we were quickly gretted by our server with menus and water. My sister and I split some appetizer items so we could try various items, and every single dish was a taste sensation. The gyoza was crisp on the outside while packed with a savory meat, drizzled with sauce. The Karaage was tender chicken encased in a light fried pankostyle casing, also drizzled with a sauce, and the flavor, each bite was satisfying without being too filling. The Kabocha Kor, were panko fried pumpkin patties with a tonkatsu style sauce that brought the taste buds to a more earthier place . The Tokoyaki, were tender fried octopus balls in a sauce that I would have been happy to hunker down with a large bowl of and just crush, easily my favorite bite, which is saying something as no bute was bad . We closed with an order of Hotate, which was a grilled scallop skewer. Somewhere between sea and bay scallops in size, they were an awesome cap to the dining experience. With a this, I washed it down with a peach-weizen beer which was the perfect accompaniment to the meal. Every dish was fantastic in flavor, sauces, and texture. On top of all this, the service was excellent, and the happy hour prices very much in reason.

Taniku Izakaya might be one of the best Japanese spots I've tried in the US. Full stop. My friend…read morewas in town and had heard about this place so naturally we go check them out. They allegedly have a few limited reservation slots but a majority of their service is first come first serve. You stand in line and wait. I would not recommend coming in large groups. In fact, I'd go as far as to say groups larger than 4 are basically contraindicated. The space inside is quite tight, think narrow, barstool-height seating and tiny tables. When my friend and I were seated after about a 40 min wait, we had spent so much time perusing the menu that we basically knew what we were going to get. Service was really kind and quick. My thoughts on the food below: Kabocha croquet: these were freshly fried and served PIPING hot. The perfectly crisp exterior and soft, non mushy interior were just the perfect textures contrasted against each other. The sweetness of the pumpkin meant that the vinegar heavy house dipping sauce was a requirement not a suggestion. The side salad also provided some freshness with each bite, not that the croquets were too greasy at all! They were well drained so just the crunch remained without the oil. Tori Tsukune: these Japanese chicken meatball skewers were HUGE and DELICIOUS. Perfectly grilled with a charred taste, relentlessly tender inside. Dipped in the accompanying soy sauce and egg yolk mixture it was simply heavenly. The yolk added a mild richness to each bite. Hotate carpaccio: this was the most unique take on scallops I've had in a while. The flavors seem strange at first glance (and first taste, if I'm being totally honest), but it took no more than two chews for me to change my tune. First off, the scallops are plump, crisply sweet, and buttery soft in the way that high quality scallops are. Next, the onion and yuzu provide a sharp yet floral aroma to each bite. The floral taste was initially jarring but became addictive. The drizzle of cream sauce on top tempered the sharpness and gave the dish a smooth finish. Truly a memorable scallop dish!! Midori udon: a scallop and pesto stir fry udon dish. This was unexpected combo when I read the menu, but it was so good! The briny and sweet little scallops were cooked to a perfect tender texture and they paired well with the mild, herbaceous pesto. The udon provided the perfect slurp. While I'm more of a soup noodle girl myself, this was an addictive and unique Japanese-Italian fusion! Niku Ramen: Taniku has a lot of inventive ramen offerings but the niku ramen stood out to me. I've had and enjoyed niku udon before, though I usually find the broth to be too sweet. This dish took all the best parts of niku udon - the mountains of tender, marinated beef, the soft boiled egg, the tender onions - and put them into a richer, heartier broth with thin ramen noodles and the outcome was fantastic. One of the most memorable bowls of ramen I've had in a while. The broth was seriously delicious. I'm such a big soup person so I keep coming back to that. It wasn't too sweet or too salty in the way that a lot of noodle soup broths are, but still managed to impart a ton of flavor. The meaty, fishy flavor was so drinkable. For the quality and quantity of food vs the price you pay, I was incredibly impressed by Taniku Izakaya!!!! Just banger after banger after banger. I saw that they have some good happy hour deals as well so I will definitely be coming back for more of their delightful apps and skewers. I cannot recommend this spot enough, there's a reason people queue for it.

The veggies were endless, making each last sip enjoyable. The place was bustling with workers, but the host seemed a bit brusque. She might need a little training in good manners. Instead of welcoming us, she opened the door for herself without holding it for us, which made us hold our own door. She just left our menu without saying anything and disappeared. She could have asked the next person, who happened to be sitting side by side at a two-person table, if they were free to share. They were already done watching a video together. We had to squeeze in and awkwardly say, "Excuse me," while getting an eye roll. The host could have avoided that awkward situation by letting us know we were using the table next to them. Also, be ready to pay an automatic 5%. Tips start at 20% and go up, so at least 25% is expected. The service was okay, but the food was fantastic. The workers seemed a bit lazy and avoided us until it was time to pay. That's when they suddenly became incredibly helpful. It's surprising how tipping changes their mood so quickly. I can tell because she watches me as I select my tip, and her eyes change.
