    We went there at lunchtime- no waiting as we went there early enough. We ordered 3 ramen noodle, 2 for there and 1 to go. I am a noodle lover and so was my co worker. But, the ramen noodle was just too salty. I had to stop eating after a few bites. Took the noodles home and added a little hot water to it to help dilute the salt! Was so disappointed

    Ordered through Neon

    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.

    I am beyond impressed with this place. It will become my go to ramen place in SF. The interior is super cozy with really neat artwork on the wall. Service is fast and friendly. The food is amazing. Their Souper Spicy setting is perfect for the super spicy lover in your party. The egg was also well seasoned, and the chasu was done well.

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

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

    Robert W.

    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!

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

    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!

    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. =)

When my table was ready, I walked right in with zero stress. The staff were warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming from the moment I sat down. The food was amazing. The ramen was rich and flavorful, the toppings were perfect, and everything came out beautifully prepared. The space itself is well put together: clean, stylish, and comfortable, making it a genuinely nice establishment to relax and enjoy a meal. Marufuku gets every detail right, and it shows. Five stars all the way.

    So the day starts wrapped in a soft, silvery fog, locally called Karl, that blankets San Francisco…read moreas the night cools. The air is damp, temperatures are hovering in the 50s, and Karl the Fog clings to the Golden Gate Bridge and waterfront, creating a misty, almost ethereal scene...And that, ladies and gentlemen, is a SIGN FOR RAMEN. Where else? Marufuku Ramen - San Francisco in Japantown for some authentic Hakata-style Tonkotsu ramen. Because when San Francisco decides to turn a summer evening into a refrigerated fog chamber, you don't argue with Mother Nature. You order soup. And not just any soup. RAMEN. We ordered the Hakata Tonkotsu DX, and from the moment that bowl arrived, I knew the evening was going to end well. The broth was rich, deeply simmered, creamy, savory, and incredibly comforting...the kind of broth that seems to have one job in life...Make you forget that you're cold. Mission accomplished. Then came the supporting cast...Seasoned Soft-Boiled Egg, perfectly tender and adding another layer of richness. Green Onions bringing freshness and a little aromatic bite. Kikurage Mushrooms adding that wonderful chewy, slightly crunchy texture. Bean Sprouts providing a crisp counterpoint to all that luxurious broth. And then...Buta Kakuni aka braised thick pork belly. Now we're talking. Tender, succulent, deeply flavored pork belly that practically surrendered to the chopsticks. Rich without being overwhelming, it added that slow-braised goodness that makes you suddenly question why all pork belly isn't served this way. Then came corn for little bursts of sweetness and nori seaweed for that subtle oceanic umami. Everything had a purpose. Everything had a place. And everything somehow ended up in my belly. This wasn't simply ramen...this was soul-soothing culinary therapy. The kind of meal that melts away the evening San Francisco chill one slurp at a time. But apparently ramen wasn't enough...because we also ordered the Chicken Karaage. And OH BOY... That golden-brown, ultra-crispy exterior gives way to tender, juicy, deeply flavored chicken inside, creating that beautiful combination of crunch and tenderness that is both satisfying and dangerously addictive. One piece becomes another. Then another and suddenly you're negotiating with yourself. "I should probably save some for later", however, your hand reaches for another piece. Apparently, self-control was not invited to dinner. The combination was perfect. Hot ramen. Crispy chicken. Rich broth. Tender pork belly. Crunchy vegetables. And Karl the Fog doing his best impression of a giant refrigerator outside. This is where I started thinking about Japanese minimalism. It reflects ideas of discipline, respect, mindfulness, simplicity, and harmony, with a deep connection to nature and tradition. Marufuku Ramen hits on all points. The ingredients are thoughtfully composed. The textures have purpose. The flavors are balanced. Nothing feels unnecessary. Nothing feels like it's trying too hard. It's simply a beautiful bowl of ramen and some seriously good karaage doing exactly what they were meant to do. And perhaps that's the beauty of it. In a city where everything seems to move at 100 miles an hour, you sit down with a bowl of ramen, pick up your chopsticks, take that first sip of broth... And for a few minutes...You slow down. Karl can wait. The Golden Gate Bridge can wait. The rest of San Francisco can wait. Dinner comes first. Overall: 5 stars. The Hakata Tonkotsu DX was rich, savory, comforting, and loaded with wonderful textures. The Buta Kakuni was tender and deeply satisfying, while the seasoned egg, kikurage mushrooms, bean sprouts, green onions, corn, and nori created a beautifully balanced bowl. And the Chicken Karaage? Crispy. Juicy. Flavorful. Basically...fried chicken therapy with a Japanese passport. Come hungry...and Go Big!!!

    This Ramen Shop is definitely worth the long wait outside to get in. They have really unique Ramen…read morebroths that you won't find it other shops. They definitely try their best to keep the line moving and one of the main ways it seems is to highly encourage guests to look at the menu while they are waiting in line outside so as soon as they are seated they can place their order and then eat quickly so then they can vacate the seat for the next person. Because this is exactly what happened to us. Also they have written warnings and they do tell you that their policy is everybody must order their own entree there's no splitting. I wouldn't call the servers overly friendly ( we had to flag them down to order drinks after our food was served) but the food came out quickly and the orders were accurate and it tasted amazing. I have never seen MATCHA flavored Ramen anywhere else and since I'm a matcha girly, you know I had to try the Duck Matcha Ramen. When asked, the waitress was honest and said "people who like matcha, like it." Happily I am one of those people and I did like it! If you've got 45 minutes to an hour to kill chatting with your friends in line and don't mind slipping down your Ramen quickly in tight quarters then you should give this place a try.

We waited 50 minutes before it was our party of 4 got called in. There is a policy that everyone has to order at least 1 bowl of ramen. I thought that was interesting. This is a Chicken based broth ramen (Toripaitan) place. For family of 4 (2 teenage boys), we ordered $270 worth of food. 2 signature Toripaitan ramens, 1 signature Toripaitan Spicy ramen, 1 classic Toripaitan ramen, 1 Hokkaido uni and A5 Wagyu hand roll, 2 orders of 5 pieces A5 Wagyu sushi, 1 side order of A5 Wagyu slice XL, 1 corn ribs, 1 edamame, 1 vegan fried chicken made out of oyster mushroom, and 1 Matcha IPA. The ramen bowl itself is about $25/bowl. My signature Toripaitan spicy bowl soup surprisingly was not that hot. That's too bad. The thick noodles were hot though. Taste was decent. But the lukewarm broth ruined it for me. I like the side dishes better. Interesting ramen like the matcha duck and lamb cumin ramen might be with trying next time.

Literally a half a block from our hotel, Yelp showed us a 4.6 rated restaurant. Read some reviews and we were sold. We were both hungry (with my foodie son) and sat down for an early dinner. Saki was the first order of business, with an excellent recommendation from our service (sweetest person ever) Dry and not too sweet. So early we jumped right into the happy hour appetizers. The Brussels were dreamy, the chicken was pure perfection and the gyoza spectacular. Also dove into the octopus balls (not literally )and they were ridiculous. We also ordered the Niki Ramen that had us in "we can't stop eating, mode. The broth was incredible and the shaved pork just over the top! A free drink suddenly appeared at the table and we were eternally thankful. Finished with the custard and we both wept! Yes, THAT good! The service was impeccable, friendly, funny, attentive, sweet, etc. 5/5 service, just like the food. SO cute on the inside with only around 8 tables.

Usually these types of places serve like $5-$8 each skewers that taste bland and not filling/ satisfying. but taniku know how to actually bring out flavor from skewers making it feel more worth it. My best friend and I came here on a whim and really glad we did. The drive up was a little sketchy but the place is a small little unassuming spot - cutesy. There was a line outside and a 10-15 min wait for us (because of how small the place one) but we didn't mind. Service was also a tiny bit odd / slow but I'm not type to care too much about that especially if it's busy and the food comes on reasonable time + food is good. Customers waiting in line outside seemed confused and out of loop kept asking me since I was in front of line if there was a line or waitlist/how long the wait was. Another odd thing is their menu. I saw reviews / pictures of food that wasn't on the paper menu they gave so it was confusing what they actually offered. We ordered the Niku ramen : change to rice bowl (really good portion sizing for japanese place) tasty flavoring. not too meaty taste. kimchi was random but worked well, cut the beef sweetness and savoriness. +Added $5 soft shell crab for topping. Very good. Typically fried soft shell crab. Crispy, crabby. Scallop hand roll: seaweed was a little soft for my liking. scallop quality was very yummy. loved the yuzu. Thought the spicy mayo + yuzu pairing was too much clashing flavors. Pork Belly Skewers: sooo good. Crispy outer. soft inner. Flavorful. Chicken meatball skewer: raw egg sauce helped put it all together enhancing and uplifting the chicken itself. Very yummy. not bland. all together like $60 (not w tip) which is really good for j izakaya. I need come for happy hour
