Best ramen I've had in SF, hands down (and I've been to 15+ spots in my search). Rivals Tsujita in LA which no other SF joint ha been able to shake a stick at imo.

David Heiser

Best ramen I've ever had. Get the tori paitan or vegan tantanmen ramen . Worth waiting in a really long line , and I hate lines .

Tim Bush

Epic line up, we waited over an hour, but totally worth it. Arguably the best ramen I have had outside of Japan. Go check it out!

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!

Diana Arz

Since most of the broth have fish in it(I am allergic), I was limited to a vegan ramen . It’s so nutty, intense, very good. Chashu pork is absolutely delicious, melts in your mouth, has a smoky flavor .

Kartik Sathappan

Wow. I’ve tried the spicy paitan, spicy lamb , and matcha ramen . They were all great but the spicy paitan was the best. The noodles are perfect and put all other Bay Area ramen joints to shame.

Vinny La Barbera

I got the organic shoyu ramen and it was so good. My gf got the vegan one and the broth was even better than mine. Get there 20-30 min before open or else you'll be waiting at least 1 hour in line .

Lynne ???? Qu

One of the best vegan ramens I’ve had. If you like spicy , be sure to ask for it. Crunchy and nutty, balanced flavor, creamy soup base and thick firm yellow ramen noodles . ???? line a bit long tho

Colby Guan

If you line up around 4:30-4:40 you'll probably get in with the first batch of people. Both of the appetizers , oysters (generous amount) and mushrooms chips , are worth getting.

Arthur Lee

The tseukemen is amazing. Ask to have broth added to the sauce in the end. makes a delicious after-meal soup

Winson Wong

Get the Mazesoba. It's mixing bowl of ramen (think bimbimbap for Korean rice ) but the flavor is the bomb. It's better than their soup ramen I think. The chicken paitan ramen is good too but heavy.

Omer Zach

The tori paitan is the best chicken ramen I've ever had, with super thick noodles . The oyster appetizer is worth a try, too.

May Lee

very high quality ramen with a unique texture - the soup is definitely a highlight as you can find some interesting mixture of two or more kinds!

Zack Sheppard

The Tori poultry ramen is INSANELY rich and delicious!

Thomas Pajor

You will find quite a long line outside when coming here, but it's well worth it! The Tori Paitan ramen is very creamy and the meat is nothing but delicious.

Lorcán

Enoki chips : delightful and $4 mugi shochu is what is up. Ramen is superb, but I was truly impressed with how perfectly engineered the noodle texture and soup temperature remained throughout the meal.

Amber

Best ramen in SF , IMO. Specials are always new, creative, and delicious. The regular menu is enough to keep you going back time and again. Organic shoyu isn't amazing, everything else though... ????

Andy Wang

Really good noodle . Tori paitan broth is super rich. My vote is for the organic shio . Worth a visit but my favorite is still Ramen Dojo in San Mateo.

Stephanie Taunton

Superb and awesome food. I am so happy to that i found the perfect food place. My favorite Pork Chashu ( tasty )

Richard Garcia

The Tori Paitan ramen served here is one of the best ramen I've ever had. So good. It's definitely worth the wait. Get the double chashu pork !

Toland Hon

Hey the Tori Paitan ramen double meat portions! The duck chashu is melts in your mouth ands the creamy broth is delicious. Be prepared to wait in line for an hour. No reservations on wait list.

Derk-Jan Hartman

After tasting the veggie ramen , I almost wished I had ordered it myself. All round awesome and worth the almost 2 hour wait.

Alessandro Mingione

Everything is delicious here. Some ingredients—like kale—are not traditional, but it's definitely authentic ramen . You don't find many places that make good shoyu outside of Japan, so I'd go for that!

Iñaki Aranzadi

Tori Paitan really made my day. It taste like ramen but in a weird good way better than a normal ramen plate. Totally worth the line .

Sophyan Julio

It is still hyped up! Visited two weeks after launch and the wait to get a seat for two was an hour and a half on Sunday night. Try the signature thick chicken broth ramen . #chewynoodles

Frances 미라

Tori paitan ramen is really rich and creamy. If that's what you like in a broth, you must get that ramen . Spicy chasu maze soba is pretty good but really spicy because they have jalapeño seeds in it.

Phui Leng Chan

I had the Tori Paitan Ramen . I was in the queue for close to an hour and honestly I thought the Ramen is kinda overhyped. Yes it's quite tasty but seriously I had better.

Kiri Inouye

Vegan ramen is amazing! Broth is rich and creamy with a little kick to it. Trust me you won't miss the meat bc it's loaded with yummy toppings! Tori paitan is also delicious.

Youssof Mal

Matcha is a truly unique bowl, not to mention the succulent duck chashu . The noodles are on the thicker side, super chewy. Love it

Israel S

The best ramen in SF , even for Tokyo this would be fairly good. Pricey for add-ons ($9 beer ??) but the main dishes are fair , particularly the Shoyu Ramen .

Matthew Huie

The Tori Paitan ramen was delicious! Shio ramen was recommended for my next visit.

Melissa Dagdagan

I'm not a vegan , but the Vegan Tantanmen might be my favorite thing to order here! ????

Tobias Schmidt

There's no doubt these guys know what they're doing. The tori paitan was a well-constructed bowl of ramen with all ingredients bar none cooked to perfection. In the end though it just wasn't for me.

Dai Shi

Everyone talks about the Tori Paitan, but you should try the spicy lamb ramen .

Josh Ferrara

I went for the Tori Paitan and was not disappointed! The broth has such a rich flavor, and the double chashu was a great choice also. Go for it!

An Sheng

Had the wagyu ramen , it looks amazing but was just meh... the egg was cold on the inside, the broth was too salty even for ramen , and I prefer thinner, more chewable noodles (try Marufuku instead)

Chris R (thechristophe)

Yummy ramen , the vegetarian options are fantastic as the broth isn't basic stuff nice thick and umami.

Nikola Ninkovic

Amazing ramen , great addition of duck chashu . Broth is very rich, and the whole experience worth the wait!

Rob S

Vegan ramen is highly recommended. This is the broth u want. If u aren't vegan - add meat on the side.

Tiffany L.

Don't over-order! They're serious about no takeout — you won't be able to bring your leftovers home.

Shruthi Gowda

Vegan Tantanmen was yumm!! The soup is thick and creamy with lots of nuts giving a crunchy touch to it.

jansen c

Good soup and nice decor, however I would not wait an hour for this.. highly recommend you to come here before 5pm to shorten your wait

Taylor Lee

The vegan ramen is really worth trying here - even if you're not vegan ! The broth is delicious and really different than normal ramen .

Pavan Kulkarni

Get the veggie tatanmen ramen . Really long lines so be patient. The smell inside is strong so might be stuffy for some

Cole Kennedy

I am going to dream about the spicy chicken broth for the rest of my life, brother.

Anthony K ✌️

Protip: order the vegan tantanmen ramen and add a slice of pork or duck chashu

Chenyu

Come at 11:15pm and no wait then. The pork soup is thick and foamy. Medium spicy is habanero - really spicy .

Kait Gaiss

Saw this place open up on my walks home and it is CRAZY packed. But, makes sense, given it's the first US expansion of Tokyo's cult favorite ramen shop.

William Wung

Tiny restaurant so you'll likely be sitting next to strangers. My favorite is the vegan broth ! The oyster appetizers are not my favorite.
