Nojo Ramen Tavern

If you're looking for a different kind of ramen , check Nojo out! Amazing, rich broth, and good noodles . Chicken leg is cooked to the point where you can eat it easily with your chopsticks!

chicken paitan with tomato . and the rice ball with cheese ! and the matchadoodle for dessert (pictured)

Newly transformed into a ramen restaurant ! Chicken Paitan ramen different to Tonkotsu broth but it is flavorful! Noodles were chewy and the onsen egg was goooood. Great list of appetizers and drinks.

The almond pork rice ball ($5.50), resembling a slightly flattened tennis ball, is crusty on the outside, filled with almonds and pork , and brightened with a glaze of miso mustard . It's delicious. Read more

Brothless noodle dish is pretty great. Tons of flavor. Ask for the hot sauce on the side because it's extremely spicy . Put your name on the yelp waitlist because the queue can be 40+ people deep.

Nojo is a meat on a stick mecca, with nearly every bit of of the chicken (including neck, liver and gizzard ) on a skewer , plus half squad, pork jowel, bacon-wrapped mochi and more. Read more

I had a Chicken Paitan Tomato . Little bit different from standard ramen but it was great. Worth the wait if you love ramen .

Delicious Paitan-style Ramen (different from the more traditional Shio or Shoyu Ramen ). Some of the best Ramen outside of Japan. The Umami Chicken Wings and Edamame are great choices for appetizers .

I can't walk through the door without a Pavlovian response to the chawanmushi ($12), the delicate egg custard glazed in a salty, smoky dashi broth and filled with green garlic and Dungeness crab . Read more

Loved the ambience. Chicken and veggie ramen both are good. You can also order an extra spice bomb if you are craving for spicy ramen

My fave is the nojo sundae , with two scoops of deeeeelicious Humphry Slocombe black sesame ice cream topped with candied kumquats, on a bed of peanut “Thunder Crackers .” Read more

One chicken skewer that delivered a Yakuza pimp slap was the juicy chicken heart ($3.35) with sansho powder, which has a light numbing agent to it. Wow, it’s Japanese culinary cocaine. Read more

The chicken Paitan in tomato broth is unreal! Beautiful red broth , house-made noodles . Add the soft boiled egg and spice bomb , you won't be disappointed!????

Excellent ramen , but there's nothing with pork , all options are chicken or one veggie so be prepared

The soboro tossed noodle salad is to die for! The wait is quite long [30-45 min] but totally worth it. To get a better estimate of time, reserve your spot in the Yelp app

Great ramen and fries ! You can now get in line on yelp so that you don’t need to wait outside for 45 minutes

Chicken paitan with soy sauce or tomato . The veggie one is amazing too. Get the spice bomb

Veggie miso ramen has depth and is rich and flavorful. Wish it came with an egg . Too pricey to come regularly.

No Tonkotsu traditional ramen , instead a delicious and flavourful chicken broth ramen . The menu changes often and be prepared to queue!

The second coming of Nojo as a ramen spot is excellent. Ramen and various side dishes are great. I kinda miss the yakitori .

Follow everyone's advice and get the sundae for dessert ! Maybe it's the Hawaii roots but skip the spam rice ball it's not real spam! Definitely get the tempura oyster mushrooms !

The chicken paitan soy sauce is amazeballs and the braised whole chicken leg falls off the bone instantly.

Chicken ramen with the spice bomb . Skip appetizers . Save room for dessert .

Try the chicken paitan ramen ! I came in slightly skeptical of a non-pork-based broth, but it's so rich and delicious.

I really liked the Tender & Morel yakitori

The spicy tan tan ramen with ground chicken and spicy broth ! & Dashi eggs .

Omg the meat of the chicken leg fell of the bones, the best ramen I’ve had in San Francisco ????

The spicy miso tan tan ramen is perfect for a rainy day

Veggie miso with truffle oil and the soy paitan are amazing. Almost as good as Mensho.

Paitan ramen is amazing. The broth is rich with a wonderful yuzu flavor. ???? ???? ???? ????

The rice ball is an unexpected delight. Go for the grilled bites on the right side of the menu, I found the left side to be just ok.

Seriously, the pork belly is not to be missed! Also loved the chicken with butter something, something yummy.

Chicken leg ramen is wonderful. The broth is so rich. Gyoza was crispy and flavorful!

Lowkey delicious menu item: Teriyaki chicken bun . Trust.

Seriously. This place is so good. They specialize in chicken ramen . I love the spicy miso one.

Chicken Paitan with spice bomb . Very very good.

Great Japanese salads (smashed cucumber with vinegar, cauliflower with tofu ), grilled trout with mushrooms , and skewered chicken .

Amazing food! Authentic Japanese and modern food! Pure bliss!

The soy ramen is very tasty. I'm not sure it's worth the comparatively steep price

Umeboshi somen noodles with uni, scallions , shiso , and purple daikon sprouts.

Love all the ramen , especially the tomato one. Also love the tuna tartare

The tomato ramen resembles a pasta dish, in a good way if that’s what you’re feeling!

Best ramen I’ve had! Be sure to get the ramen with the chicken leg .

Best yakitori in town ! Try bacon-wrapped moch - you won't regret it!

Lots of interesting small plates to share. Try the chicken hearts I promise

The chicken paitan is amazing!

The vegetarian ramen was amazing!! Best I have had so far.
